Ling Huqing also knew that he couldn't be on call, he was a painting a month, even if the latecomer came out with 100,000 taels, he was still unmoved, and he would not ruin his reputation.Shen Qiqi walked out, and the ancient shopkeeper who was guarding outside hurriedly walked in front of Shen Qiqi to lead the way, blocking unnecessary people by the way.Qi Zhao followed behind Shen Qiqi, passing through the hall in the middle of the ancient painting workshop, Shen Qiqi's eyes rolled, stopped, she looked up at the paintings hanging as commodities, and the price of each pair of words was more than three hundred taels."
The shopkeeper, now the ancient painting workshop seems to have more paintings by many painters."
Shen Qiqi remembered that in the past, he only sold Mr.
Dongpo's paintings, but now there are more painters hanging in the hall for sale, which is different from before."
Now it's different from the past, we have more people, more expenses, since the last time Mr.
Dongpo stopped painting, I went to post a notice to recruit some painters to come back as the resident painters of the ancient painting workshop."
Shen Qiqi remembered what Ling Huqing said just now, it seems that Mo Yan's statement of asking for an increase in income did not lie to her, it's just that why Mo Yan wants to increase his income, and what does he want so much money for.What exactly does Mo Yan want to do?"
Resident painter, can you get a lot of money?"
Qi Zhao was a little curious, the paintings here are all very valuable, and the income is quite a lot compared to the painters."
People who can become the resident painters of the ancient painting workshop, regardless of whether the paintings are sold or not in a month, can get a fixed monthly money, no less than 100 taels, and also include food and accommodation, and if they sell the paintings, they can get a commission."
The words of the ancient shopkeeper are full of pride, he has been here for many years, and he has been able to be the shopkeeper, and he has also gone through multiple temperings."
The reputation of the ancient painting workshop is very loud, many people want to live in the ancient painting workshop even if they don't have monthly money, so we posted the notice less than three days, there are more than 100 painters to apply, all of them are very good painters, some are still famous painters in the capital, we selected ten painters, are very good painters, today's ancient painting workshop, business is getting better and better, in the afternoon plus the income of playing and singing, the income of the ancient painting workshop is quite considerable."
The ancient shopkeeper knew Shen Qiqi's identity, and he was not afraid to tell Shen Qiqi about the situation of the ancient painting workshop, and he was also proud of what he had done, if he waited for Mo Yan to come back, it would be better if Shen Qiqi could say a few good words for him.Shen Qiqi asked a few more words, and the ancient shopkeeper answered very carefully, but Shen Qiqi still couldn't find an answer.Qi Zhao thought that Shen Qiqi was going back to the palace, but Shen Qiqi saw that it was still afternoon, the sky was just right, and the pedestrians on the street were bustling, she wanted to relax: "I don't want to go back yet."
Let's just walk around. ”Qi Zhao followed Shen Qiqi and walked everywhere with Shen Qiqi.Shen Qiqi relied on her memory to find the place where she had eaten and sold roast chicken before, she was not hungry, she just wanted to be greedy, especially when she thought that Yue Ling always let herself come out, and she was alone in the palace to deal with emergencies, she felt sorry for Yue Ling, Yue Ling said that she liked to eat roast chicken very much, and she decided to buy a few and go back to let Yue Ling eat enough.In the past, when buying roast chicken, Yueling had to queue up, at least two minutes before she could be queued, and she could only buy two at most per person, Shen Qiqi was ready to queue, but when she arrived at the stall selling roast chicken, there was no one in front of the door, and there were more than a dozen roast chickens hanging in the store, each roast chicken was glowing with a golden luster, salivating, and the fragrance of roast chicken, which made people want to rush up immediately.Shen Qiqi found that he was the only one who wanted to rush up, and no one around wanted to have the urge to sell roast chicken."
What's wrong?"
Shen Qiqi looked around, there were other food and drinks around, only the small shop selling steamed buns had the most people in front of them, Shen Qiqi still remembered the unprecedented grand occasion of eating roast chicken, why is it so deserted now?"
Princess, look at the price, how many people can afford such a high price?"
Qi Zhao pointed to the sign hanging in front of the store, ten taels of silver for a roast chicken, Shen Qiqi thought it was wrong, she remembered that it was only two taels of silver last time, how did it suddenly rise to ten taels or five times, no wonder no one came to buy it."
Bring me two roast chickens."
Shen Qiqi thought about it, walked up directly, and said with a smile to the people standing in the small shop, Xiao Er heard it, immediately piled up a smile, sped up his hands and feet, and quickly selected two huge roast chickens for Shen Qiqi, tied them with oiled paper, walked out of the store, and sent them to Shen Qiqi with both hands, Shen Qiqi took twenty taels of silver ingots from Qi Zhao's hand and put them in Xiao Er's hand, Xiao Er was embarrassed and scratched his head."
Guest officer, we don't have scissors, so we can't give you the extra silver.""
It's twenty-one taels at most, and the rest will be regarded as a reward for you, and it's well bandaged."
Shen Qiqi smiled at him, and wanted to dig something out of his mouth, of course, not just buy two roast chickens."
Then thank you to the guest officer, I wish the guest officer a promotion and a fortune!"
Xiao Er weighed the silver in his hand, it must be more than twenty-one taels, and his heart suddenly blossomed, he hadn't received a reward for a long time."
You're welcome, you deserve it, your craftsmanship is good, you must often bundle these burns**, practice makes perfect, there are not a hundred but eighty."
Of course, Shen Qiqi knew how to speak in order to get the news he wanted from the other party's mouth."
Oh, the guest officer is really good at laughing, of course no, the former Xiao Er can bundle dozens of them every day, but now it's not good, it's very good to be able to sell twenty a day, the tax has increased a lot, we can only increase the price of the roast chicken, we used to queue up to buy roast chicken, now we don't need it, there is any time, if we can't sell it at night, we will sell it to the Qinglou to cook, no matter what, the people in the Qinglou are willing to pay for wine and food, but not much, after all, a roast chicken costs ten taels of silver, and a family of four can live for a month, This kind of expense is now rarely available. ”Xiao Er said as he looked at the silver ingot in his hand with cherishment, he didn't remember how long it had been since he had received the silver reward."
Taxes raised?
When?
”Shen Qiqi caught the news she wanted, she exchanged a look with Qi Zhao, Qi Zhao didn't know anything about these things, his task was to protect Shen Qiqi."
It's been added for two months, it's five times the original, what can we do, we can only increase the price of roast chicken by five times, everyone buys less roast chicken, more to buy steamed buns, steamed buns are cheap, guest officer, you are the first guest today, I will send you a little sesame sauce, it is best to eat roast chicken with it."
Xiao Er secretly took a little sesame sauce to Shen Qiqi, and smiled brightly.Shen Qiqi took the sesame sauce and didn't ask again, she just wanted to confirm it elsewhere.The simplest place is the steamed bun shop that Xiao Er said.() The eldest princess: Regent, ask for a hug
