Happy Little Scholar

After not seeing each other for a long time, I thought there would be some embarrassment when we meet again, but now this trace of embarrassment has been completely washed away by Miss Zeng's simple "I don't want to waste it".

"How is it?" Li Yi put down the brush and asked, pointing to the sample drawing in her hand.

"Flowing Immortal Dress with Wide Sleeves..." Zeng Zuimo put down the painting, looked at the other two paintings, and said, "I have never seen the style before, but it can be used."

She glanced at Li Yi and asked, "Do you even know how to dress women?"

"Clothes are nothing, you don't know. In fact, I know a woman's mind very well." Li Yi pointed to the picture and said: "The wide-sleeved flowing fairy skirt is not only the wide-sleeved flowing fairy skirt, but also the touching story behind it." Story, when the time comes, put up a sign, write down the story, and put it in the shop so that every woman who enters the store can see it. It will make the women cry, and the level will rise all of a sudden. This is called packaging. , called marketing..."

"In the future, every new set of clothes can be packaged in this way, and then let Gouban promote it, ensuring that one set will sell well and the other will be popular."

Zeng Zuimo glanced at Li Yi, "You said you understand a woman's thoughts?"

"------"

Let's have a good chat. What does that disdainful smile at the corner of her mouth mean? ridicule, disdain, personal attack. He is talking about serious things. The point is not to understand a woman's mind, okay?

I can't continue chatting today. I always talk to myself to death, and today is the second time I've been chatted to death.

We haven't seen each other for a few months, and it's not clear whether today is one of those special days. Li Yi decided to draw a picture to avoid Miss Zeng staying up all night. There are really not many bosses who care about their employees so much.

Xiaocui walked in from outside and asked, "Master Li, I want to go out to buy food. Do I need to bring one for you and the uncle?"

There were still a lot of sample pictures to draw, and Li Yi guessed that he wouldn't be able to leave for a while, so he simply stopped being anxious and stood up and said, "Forget it, is there any rice or noodles in the kitchen? I'll do it."

Xiaocui nodded and said, "Yes, sister Ruoqing will come back to cook sometimes, including rice, noodles and vegetables."

Seeing Li Yi walking past her and straight into the kitchen, Xiao Cui's face showed excitement. She had heard that Mr. Li's cooking was delicious, but she had never eaten it. At this moment, I have some small expectations in my heart.

…

…

"Uncle Fang, what do you want to ask?"

"Miss Xiao Cui, are you familiar with Xiao Hong?"

"Sister Xiaohong, of course I'm familiar with it. At that time in Qunyuyuan, Sister Xiaohong would always accidentally break things, and she would stop them for her several times."

Li Yi was cooking in the kitchen. Lao Fang was a little unhappy because Xiaocui called him "Uncle". He corrected him several times and said it was "Brother Fang" and not Uncle Fang. He was very patient.

"Okay, Uncle Fang." Xiaocui nodded and said, "Uncle Fang, if you have nothing else to do, just sit here for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to help Mr. Li."

"It's Brother Fang." Lao Fang sat back on the stone bench with some dejection and corrected him for the last time.

"Okay Uncle Fang, I'm going then." Xiao Cui trotted all the way to the kitchen and ran out again after a while, because she couldn't even do the simplest chopping of vegetables.

There are just as many maids as there are young ladies. Neither the master nor the servant has the talent to cook. Just like Miss Liu Er, she was born to be the eldest lady.

Xiaocui sat on the stone bench, held her chin, glanced at the kitchen, then looked back at Lao Fang, and said, "Brother Fang, is Mr. Li's cooking really delicious?"

Lao Fang took a deep breath and said, "Let me say it for the last time, it's Uncle Fang, not Brother Fang."

"I understand, Uncle Fang." Xiaocui looked at him and said pitifully.

"Of course the food cooked by my uncle is delicious. I'm not bragging about it, Uncle Fang. My uncle's cooking skills are rare in the world. I guarantee that you will think about it the first time you eat it..." Old Fang was halfway through his words when he suddenly covered his face. He frowned and buried his head deeply.

"What do you want?" Xiaocui asked, blinking.

Lao Fang raised his head and said with some dejection: "Miss Xiaocui, can we do it again?"

"Okay Uncle Fang."

boom!

There was a loud noise in the courtyard.

Then came Xiaocui's somewhat panicked voice.

"Uncle Fang, what's wrong with you, Uncle Fang? Don't hit your head on the table..."

…

…

For four people, just make four dishes and one soup. In principle, these dishes are not enough for Lao Fang alone, but there are not enough dishes in the kitchen, so he can only exercise a little restraint today.

When all the dishes were brought to the table, Zeng Zuimo was late.

Li Yi looked up at her and found that she had combed her hair, changed her clothes, and probably put on light makeup. Although she looked very good without makeup, she now obviously had more cloth than before. The feeling of spirit...

"Miss Xiao Cui, let's go over there for dinner. Then you can tell Brother Fang about Xiao Hong's past in Qunyu Courtyard."

Lao Fang put some vegetables into the bowl, and when he left, he also dragged away Xiao Cui who kept putting rice in his mouth.

There were only two people left at the table, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Because there were some things that Li Yi didn't know how to explain to her.

It was Miss Zeng who broke the silence first, "I heard that you gave Her Royal Highness the eldest princess a glazed statue?"

The atmosphere became even more awkward.

"Lao Fang, come here." Li Yi waved his hand to Lao Fang and said.

"Son-in-law, what's the matter?" Old Fangzheng heard the exciting part, and when he came over, his expression on his face was still a little unsatisfied.

Li Yi looked at him and said, "Give me the small bundle hidden in your sleeve."

Old Fang's face changed: "Son-in-law, what small bundle?"

"Don't dawdle, hurry up."

Old Fang reluctantly took out a small bundle from his sleeve. After Li Yi took it from him, he untied it in front of Zeng Zuimo.

Crash...

A pile of colorful and shiny things piled up on the table into a small mountain.

Li Yi looked up at Old Fang, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.

Is this hot stuff going to let Xiaohong buy the entire Kyoto Qun Yuyuan?

These bracelets, earrings, headdresses..., if they are really sold, it is more than enough to buy two Qun Yuyuan.

The problem is that it is a crime to hold a treasure. Can Xiaohong, a little girl, keep these things?

Lao Fang had an awkward expression on his face. He scratched his head and said, "Son-in-law, I, I took it from my share..."

Xiao Cui was sitting on the side eating, and was suddenly dazzled by a ray of light.

After looking back, she screamed and rushed over.

"Is this for the young lady?" She looked at the things on the table, her eyes were shining, and she looked up at Li Yi and asked expectantly.

"Xiao Cui!" Looking at the glass ornaments on the table, Zeng Zuimo was also distracted for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, glared at Xiao Cui and said.

Li Yi glanced at Lao Fang, who gritted his teeth and nodded.

Li Yi looked at her, nodded, and said, "Take a look first. If you like it, I'll ask someone to send some more tomorrow."

"We? Can I choose too?" Xiao Cui asked in disbelief.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Wait until Xiaozhu comes back, you two can pick a few too."

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Li Yi stopped Xiaocui from rushing over and said, "Let's eat first, eat first, and then we'll talk after dinner."

Xiaocui picked a bracelet and put it on her wrist. She didn't even eat, and stood in the yard with her wrist raised to look at the sun.

"Is this colored glass?" Zeng Zuimo picked up a necklace and asked curiously.

"Let's just say it." Colored glass and glass are only one word apart, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Zeng Zuimo looked at the things on the table again and asked, "Are these the things you gave to the two little princesses?"

"Yes." Li Yi nodded and said.

"What does the colored glass for the eldest princess look like?"

"I'm full, I'm going to draw a pattern." Li Yi put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked towards the studio.

I forgot to check the almanac when I went out today. It must say that it's good to draw pictures and not to chat.
