Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Asking Yun Shu to take the colored ink, Chu Ningyan followed the shopkeeper into the inner room.The interior is spacious, bright, and elegantly furnished, and pen, ink, and paper are already placed on the equally spacious desk.

After Chu Ningyan came in, she started painting directly.

She painted very fast. She first designed a green bamboo flower paper, but felt that it was not enough. She picked up the paper placed next to it and started drawing again. She got together a set of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and then gave up.

Maybe it's because these paintings are not complete, and there is no phenomenon of lingering literary spirit. While Chu Ningyan breathed a sigh of relief, she was also thinking about how to make the paintings appear literary.

"Shopkeeper, let me finish the drawing and see if it meets the standards?" Chu Ning is quite satisfied with her design, but it is to be used as a commodity after all, and pleasing others is the key.

The shopkeeper, who had been stunned for a long time, naturally smiled, "Yes! The girl is really amazing at drawing." He said, carefully picking up a piece of flower paper, "If it were in the past, the official ladies of Luzhou City would still be there. When these flower papers are released, they will be sold out."

It's a pity that it's a pity that the officials and young ladies all fled with their parents.

Chu Ningyan heard the words, "There is no shortage of people in this world. The old ladies and gentlemen are gone, and new young masters and young ladies will fill them up."

This kind of arty thing has never been cut off from ancient times to the present, and it is all because people have thoughts.

When the shopkeeper heard it, he immediately laughed, "I am too pessimistic. In this way, Hongyi Bookstore accepts your flower notes."

"It's not considered paper money. Is it okay to give the girl 50 renminbi?" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he felt inappropriate, "This is because the girl is not famous yet, and when you become famous, one tael of silver will not be worth a piece of money." question."

Reading is costly, and arty is even worse!He can sell a piece of paper for one tael of silver for five or six taels.Anyway, rich people don't care about the cost of one or two taels.And people without money will not buy flashy flower paper.

"Okay!" Chu Ningyan listened to the shopkeeper's quotation and felt that the other party was quite honest, so she agreed without hesitation, and said, "Shopkeeper, I think there is still a lot of paper here, and the sky is still dark now." Good morning, how about I draw some pictures?"

Well, I have to earn Caimo's money back, right?
"It's so good!" The shopkeeper naturally agreed.The sooner you sell, the sooner you make money.

Chu Ningyan drew another set of plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums in different poses, then the three friends of Suihan, and then twelve flower gods before giving up.

In fact, Chu Ningyan would not have stopped if she hadn't thought about other things to do.Although she draws quickly, it takes time to draw a lot.

Seeing that an hour was about to pass, and it was only two hours away from going down the mountain for recuperation, Chu Ningyan had no choice but to stop.

The two sisters left the bookshop with a tael of silver, a stack of paper and ink specially used for drawing flower notes, and went straight to the embroidery village.Successfully sold embroidery pictures and clothing samples, and purchased cloth and embroidery thread for making clothes.

When she came to Yaxing again, Chu Ningyan found that there were many more people in Yaxing.Especially the ones in the cage.

"Miss Chu? Are you here? Are you going to buy a few servants this time?" The shopkeeper of the dental shop said with a smile.

"Well, I want to buy a housekeeper and a cook." This was her decision just now. There are too many things to do in the shop, and there is no one available around her, so she has to do everything by herself.It's really inconvenient.

She still wants to read and write calligraphy and painting, wouldn't it be better to explore the mystery of literary style as soon as possible? "It's best for housekeepers and cooks to be literate."

"It's easy to find a housekeeper." After all, so many officials and businessmen have fled the city, and there are quite a few housekeepers who stayed to look at the houses. Now those houses have been confiscated by Da Xia, and the housekeepers have lost their jobs.

"It's this literate cook, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." There are not many literate people in the world, and even fewer women can read.

"That's fine, but you need to be smarter and not too old, let's be under 35 years old."

"Okay, let's go and choose someone for the girl." The shopkeeper of the dental shop left with a smile.

"Sister?" Yun Shu was a little uneasy, and tugged at the corner of Chu Ningyan's clothes.

"What's the matter?" Chu Ningyan was calculating the remaining money at home, but she didn't hear the uneasiness in Yun Shu's tone.

"No...it's nothing."

Chu Ningyan looked at Yun Shu, uneasy?asked, "What are you worried about?"

Yun Shu bit her lips, "Sister, will you sell me?" She couldn't help with anything, and her sister was responsible for the daily food and clothing.

"What are you thinking! You are my sister." Chu Ningyan stretched out her hand and patted Chu Yunshu on the head.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the dental shop also led a group of people out.

"Miss Chu, everyone is here. Which one do you think is suitable?"

Chu Ningyan asked them to introduce themselves, and finally chose a couple, the boy named Sun Sheng, the girl named Zhang, and their child Sun Laide.Sun Laide was their second son, and the eldest was killed in this battle.

But their asking price is a bit high, 30 taels for men, at least 20 taels for women, and children don’t need to pay extra.Chu Ningyan had no money at all, so she discussed with them privately, and finally signed a long-term contract.

Employed for five years, the housekeeper is 5 taels of silver per month, and the cook is 3 taels of silver per month.The child is only 5 years old now, and he cannot do work. He only pays for food and lodging without wages.

After taking care of the housekeeper, Chu Ningyan told him about the situation at home and asked him to hire masons to renovate the house.

Reluctantly took out 5 taels of silver and handed it to the housekeeper Sun Sheng, "No. 10, West Fourth Lane, Changping Street, do you know the way?"

"Ah!" Sun Sheng was taken aback. Who in Luzhou City doesn't know about the haunted house at No. 10 West Fourth Lane, Changping Street?
"Ahem, our home is right there!" Chu Ningyan smiled, and motioned him not to talk nonsense, "In a while, after you order the materials, someone will deliver them. Let's see how long it takes for the materials to be delivered before deciding when to hire workers."

"Girl, I know."

"Okay, this is the design drawing. It has the amount of materials on it. You can buy it according to the quantity." Chu Ningyan took out a drawing and handed it to him, "Also, before hiring a mason, you must ask them if they can understand the drawing. , will you do it?"

Sun Sheng opened the blueprint, and was amazed by the blueprint at a glance. Although he doesn't know how to build, he started working as a housekeeper in his 20s, and he has been a housekeeper for more than ten years.How many can see some doorway.

"Okay, girl, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Chu Ningyan and Yun Shu took Mrs. Zhang and her child Xiaosun away first.

"Girl, I can't do this. How can I let you drive and sit in the carriage?" Mrs. Zhang led Xiaosun and dared not get in the car.

"You don't know how to drive, come up quickly, don't waste time." Chu Ningyan kept a straight face, but her beautiful and delicate face gave off a sense of oppression.

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to say too much, hugged the child, and got into the car in a panic.

Chu Ningyan nodded in satisfaction, "I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables and rice noodles, and I'll try your cooking tonight."

"Yes." Mrs. Zhang secretly decided to use her housekeeping skills.

I haven't coded for four days, alas~~
