Chapter 167: reopen
Chapter 167 Reopening
Even though Shangguanyu wanted to eat, he was still embarrassed and pushed the bowl back. "What I ate just now is Shaoqing's use of my firewood."
Su Xiangheng had a headache, but he still refused to take any advantage. He smiled helplessly and said, "I'm here to ask for your help."
“What are you busy with?”
Su Xiangheng took out the sample manuscript and said, "One hundred copies."
Shangguanyu took the sample and looked at it. It turned out to be a promotional poster for the opening of the business. After a closer look, it turned out to be Su Ji. Shaobai seemed to have taken him to have breakfast. He heard that it was his brother's shop, "This is..."
"It's not a change of ownership." Su Xiangheng explained: "Su Ji Xiaodongjia added refreshments and reopened."
It turns out that this is the case. Shangguanyu put the painting on the table and then asked, "I wonder where the noodles like Shaoqing's belt can be sold?"
"I can't sell it even if it's sold. It's a gift from a student." Su Xiangheng didn't tell him that these were snacks made by Su Yanzu's niece. It would be better for Su Yanzu to tell Shangguanyu himself about this kind of thing.
He motioned to Leng Mo and gave him several bags of instant noodles in the bag, and took out half a tael of silver. "This is the retouching fee for the painting. I don't care about artistic conception, just smoothness and speed. I'll come and get it tomorrow night."
Su Ji is Shaobai's brother's shop. Shangguanyu shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do at home anyway. It's just a casual thing." He didn't charge any money.
Su Xiangheng stopped pressing and took back half a tael of silver. After thinking about it, he said to him, "Mobao Library is missing a scribe. I wonder if Brother Yu wants..."
Shangguanyu quickly agreed, "Go, I'll go."
“The manager of the library told me that every day the clock is on the clock and the clock is off on the third hour every day, a lunch is included at noon, four days off a month, and two taels of silver a month, that’s okay.”
“That’s great.” Shangguanyu thanked him again.
Everything is ready, Su Xiangheng said goodbye.
Shangguanyu looked at the clear night sky. The crescent moon hung in the sky. The hazy moonlight poured down and shone on the small courtyard and the fence, as if coated with a layer of phantom. Inspired, he quickly turned around and entered the house. Spread out the rice paper, pick up the brush, dip it in ink, and stroke slowly. In a few breaths, the farmyard, the fence, and the crescent moon in the sky suddenly appear on the rice paper. With just a few strokes, the poem is full of poetry and artistic conception. Far away.
Probably because of the effort, Shangguanyu suddenly coughed non-stop. At the end of the cough, he almost couldn't breathe. He quickly sat down, holding on to the armrest with one hand and stroking his heart with the other. It took a while. Slow down.
He stared at the beams for a long time before he came back to his senses, as if he had saved his life from the gate of **** again.
Since the business was about to reopen, Su Ruojin decided not to return to the capital and lived directly in the small courtyard, followed by Huaping.
Su Dalang was afraid that his sister would live alone, so after classes in the afternoon, he went down the mountain to stay with his sister.
“Brother, how many paintings have you done?” Su Ruojin plans to hire two boys tomorrow. One will stand at the intersection of Ruwenshan Street and the other at the intersection of Academy Hill to hand out posters and spread the word first.
Su Dalang took out hundreds of drawings he and his classmates had made, "There are still a hundred and ten copies left. I'll bring them back to you tomorrow night."
Su Ruojin thought it was too little, but he didn’t urge Su Dalang to paint. He accepted it with a smile and gave out as many as he had.
On the second day, Siping came over and took Ye Huaizhen and Shi Er to purchase things that were still in need of opening. During the recent period, Siping has been taking the two of them to pave the way for Su Ji to make purchases, whether it is purchasing or recognizing people.
Ye Huaizhen is not to mention, she is a lady from an official family, illiterate and can settle accounts. If it hadn't been for family changes, she would probably be the mistress of a house in the capital now, and it would be easy for her to purchase and take charge of affairs.
To Su Ruojin's surprise, after nearly a year of study, Shi Xiaoer transformed from an illiterate person into a waiter who could write and do math. The progress was huge, and she did not hesitate to praise him in front of him. "Thanks to my little boss, it's because you are willing to pay this money that my boy has the opportunity to write and do calculations."
Su Ruojin was not looking for a serious husband for the three brothers of the Shi family. Wenshan Street is located at the foot of Dongshan Academy. In addition to food and clothing, the whole street is related to book culture. There are fortune tellers on the street, as well as people who sell acid writings and books. She invited a middle-aged fortune teller from the street to teach the three Shi brothers for an hour every night for one tael of silver each month.
He did not hesitate to live in fortune -telling. When Su Ruojin sat in front of the stall, he did not hesitate to agree, "How long?"
“Three years.” Su Ruojin said. The opportunity was given, and it was up to the three brothers to seize the opportunity. In the end, Shi Xiaoer and Shi Baogui seized it.
Although Shi Da and Shi Xiaosan have not made as much progress as Shi Xiaoer, they are still considered illiterate. They can report and write menus without problems, and they can finally stay in Suji.
In the afternoon, Siping took Ye and Shi to pull three carts of things. All the things needed for the business were ready, and they were waiting for the business to open.
In the evening, Su Dalang brought back two to three hundred leaflets. Su Ruojin asked with a smile, "Did we invite a lot of classmates today?"
Su Dalang shook his head, "We are still classmates in the 3rd and 5th grade."
“Then why are there so many more today than yesterday?”
“Su Fuzi drew more than a hundred copies for us.”
Su Ruojin was surprised. She didn't expect Su Xiangheng to be so interesting. "It seems that I didn't steal brother's instant noodles in vain."
Su Dalang was laughed at by his sister, it was true.
Su Ruojin was curious and asked, "Are those painted by Su Fuzi?" She wanted to find them out.
Su Dalang's face turned red, "The good paintings are all painted by Master."
"That's the above, isn't it?" No wonder it felt different from yesterday. He quickly got in front of the oil lamp. The light was bright, and it was obviously the same picture, but what Su Fuzi painted was better than what Su Dalang and others painted, no matter with the brush. The artistic conception was really good, so Su Ruojin kept a copy privately.
Seeing that everything was ready, they were waiting for the opening on March 3, which was the day after tomorrow. On that day, Su Yanli asked for leave and brought his family over to attend the opening ceremony.
On the second day, Su Ruojin hired seven or eight children and asked them to go to intersections, alleys, bookshops, libraries, and pen and ink shops to attack people they saw. Almost everyone on Wenshan Street and Dongshan Academy knew that Su Ji's shop had expanded and reopened. There are promotions.
That night, Su Yanli came over with his whole family. He had been busy working at the shop for a few days. Su Ruojin felt like he was still at home yesterday, but also felt as if he had been away from home for a long time. Seeing his parents coming early, he was so happy and so excited. In the arms of the couple.
“Dad, mother…”
The couple both caught the coquettish eldest daughter and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Jin."
Su Ruojin hugged her parents' arms and arched them, acting coquettishly, which made the couple's hearts melt. It turned out that no matter how capable her daughter was or how she looked like an adult, she was still a child after all. Seeing them both It's all revealed.
After playing coquettishly, Su Ruojin helped Su Sanlang and Su Silang and took her parents to visit the morning tea room. Each table was separated by a screen. It was like a lobby but also had privacy. The layout was very novel.
Su Yanli couldn't help but nodded, "If it were near my home, I would eat here every day."
"That's right." Su Ruojin said with a proud smile, "When the time comes, the Su Ji in the capital will also be changed in this way."
