Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 525 Selling Couplets (3)
"Uh, I need a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, an abacus, and an account book. I need to buy some new desks and chairs, and the bed should be the same. It's too expensive to change the bed. But I need to make a bed sheet and quilt cover. By the way, there are also bowls and chopsticks. Need to buy some more, of course there is firewood, rice, oil and salt. By the way, we have to make a signboard. If we think about what to replace it with, we have to find someone to do it. Think of a way to take advantage of this time to earn some money."

Sun Meixiang muttered to herself, looking at everything up and down.She found that the inn here didn't have any such thing as bed sheets, but there were still quilt covers.

Remove all the original quilt covers and wash some first.The original bowls and chopsticks were also boiled in hot water, and all of them were re-washed, sterilized, and then wiped dry before use.Taking advantage of the few days before the Chinese New Year, slowly wash it off bit by bit.

By the way, the pot in the kitchen has to be changed again to become the current cooking pot.It's a pity that there is no paint, otherwise the tables and chairs can be painted directly after washing, and it can save a lot of money.

That's all, throw away the broken ones that don't work.For others, ask Xiao Xia to see if it can be repaired, and if it can save a little, it will count.And how can this firewood be adjusted? Is it also by buying?
It was already past noon after Sun Meixiang and Yang Shi had been messing with the inside and outside of the inn.Sun Meixiang let the two children play here, while she and Yang Shi were going to go shopping.

After locking the lock and making sure it is locked so that Yang Yang and Shi Shi won't come out, he and Mrs. Yang carried a basket on their shoulders.

"Sister-in-law Yang, what do you need to buy for the New Year in your village?" Sun Meixiang wanted to get some words out of Yang's mouth.

"Daily necessities, new clothes, food, snacks. By the way, there are firecrackers, couplets..." Yang listed some.

Sun Meixiang's mind was spinning non-stop.She doesn't know how to use daily necessities here.She doesn't know much about eating and snacks.She doesn't even understand firecrackers, but this couplet, you can think about it.

I think I was working on pen and ink at the beginning, but I worked hard, and my handwriting is good, very grand.Uh, let’s do some research first, what have people written and how are they sold?Maybe she could earn some years ago.

"Sister Sun, do you want to buy couplets? Why don't you just buy them?" Mrs. Yang didn't know Sun Meixiang's intentions. Seeing her taking her around and looking around, mainly at the couplet stalls, she was a little puzzled.

"I'll tell you about this when I get back. Sister Yang, let's go to the painting and calligraphy shop now." Sun Meixiang has already inquired about the price, and a piece of red paper costs 1 cent.A piece of red paper can write 3 pairs of couplets, and a pair of couplets costs 2 coins.

But I thought in my heart, this couplet is really expensive, and I can eat several buns.But the people here, although they are usually extremely stingy, did not expect to be more generous about this. It seems that they still have a market.

Daily food is still available at home.At the beginning, I bought a lot of rice noodles and kept them at home, as well as vegetables.I'm not worried about waiting for the business to open, and I won't be able to sell it.

There are no guests at home, so there is no need to prepare anything.As for the new clothes, they have only been made for a short time, so they can be saved.

In the bookstore, Sun Meixiang flipped through some couplet books and found that it had nothing to do with the Spring Festival.Then I bought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Anyway, this is what I will buy at that time. I bought another 50 pieces of red paper, and I will try it first.

At home and at the door of the store, it also needs to be pasted.Back at the inn, Sun Meixiang asked Yang to cut it down, and she began to grind ink to start writing.

As for the couplets, it is good to see more in modern times, just write a few casually, and then repeat them repeatedly until you finish writing them all.

"The days are booming and welcome to the door, and the sky follows people's wishes and the stars shine."

"The whole family is happy to welcome wealth and honor, and the whole house is full of joy and peace forever."

"Wealth and honor make everyone happy, wealth and wealth are prosperous and the family is harmonious."

"Fengshui treasure land will prosper thousands of fortunes, Tianshun people and everything will prosper."

"Fumen's family business soars into the clouds, and the wealth of treasure land comes by the wind."

"The land is beautiful in spring, and there are many happy events in the world of Fuman."

Sun Meixiang wrote about 6 of them, and the horizontal comments were all these words: "Good luck, good luck, good luck, Gong Xi Fa Cai"

Afterwards, according to these, they all copied a copy.Mrs. Yang was nimble, holding the paper and asking her to divide it into couplets, she cut all the 50 sheets of paper in less than half an hour.Sun Meixiang was even faster, with a pen dipped in ink, she swipe a few times against the already cut couplet, and it was done.

The main thing is to leave a Spring Festival couplet, without thinking too much, Sun Meixiang's ink pen is very powerful, and it took an hour to write before and after, and it was completed.

It's not time to apply yet.Sun Meixiang thought for a while, and said to Yang, "Sister-in-law Yang, I want to take a table and go out with this to set up a stall for half an hour to have a look."

It should be less than 5 o'clock by then, it was just dark, and I just went home.Try to see the situation first, if it is good, go back at night and write more, if it is not successful, sell these directly at that time, and it will be done without losing money.

"Okay." Yang directly lifted a table and walked outside.Just as Sun Meixiang was about to tidy up the dry couplets, she saw that the two little milk bags had woken up.

After thinking about it, he took the scarf and the hat and wrapped the two small buns tightly, took a part of the couplet, put it in the basket, led the little buns, turned around and locked the door, and went to look for Mrs. Yang.

"Grandma, what are we going to do?" Yang Yang's sleepy eyes turned cold at the moment, and he became refreshed instantly.

"We sell couplets, and Yang Yang and Shitou remember to shout for grandma later!" If the little milk boy shouted, it might help him attract customers.

Since there is no thirty this year, and now it is 21, the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in a few days.Sun Meixiang felt more and more that she would not be able to earn any more money, and that all her plans would come to naught.

"Sister-in-law, here!" Far away, not far from the gate of the city, there was a lot of traffic, I don't know how Yang did it, but he got a different location.

Sun Meixiang walked over, and Xiao Baozi automatically stood beside grandma, watching them busy.After laying out the things, Sun Meixiang started to call out: "Sell couplets, beautiful and cheap couplets!"

The little milk buns thought of what grandma said just now, so they also shouted: "Sell couplets, sell couplets, we are selling couplets!" Yang Yang didn't understand, but he understood that grandma said to sell couplets.

When Sun Meixiang called, only one or two people came over to have a look.But when the two little milk buns called out, especially when Yang borrowed a bench from the booth next door and asked the two brothers to stand on it, he supported it behind.Instantly attracted a large group of people over.

"Sister-in-law, how did you sell this couplet? You say it's cheap, how much is it?"

"This word is so beautiful, I don't know what it means."
