Chapter 131 Flowers Bloom and Wealth
Chapter 131 Flowers Bloom and Wealth
Liu Yuhan stayed at home for the past half week, and Uncle He from the county town would bring some soap to Changle County every two or three days.
If Bai Zhi needs to convey something to Liu Yuhan, she will write it in advance and ask Uncle He to bring it to her.
Huo Er brought people over every five days to buy soap and perfumed soap. Liu Yuhan didn't know that soap and perfumed soap were very popular in the city.
Especially for soap, even if the price is raised to 500 wen or there is a purchase limit, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of these people.
Nowadays, when the ladies of wealthy families chat, they'll occasionally ask, "What soap did you use to bathe last night?" "Which color do you think smells the best?" I've collected every color of soap from this brand. They recently released a purple one with the inscription "Purple Air Coming from the East." Because it has such a beautiful meaning, it was so popular that I couldn't even get one. I paid a deposit of five yuan in advance and can't wait to see what color soap comes out next time...
During the day, Liu Yuhan would go to the fields and sandy paddies. The grain harvest was almost here, and there couldn't be any mistakes, especially in the rice paddies, where pests were a concern.
Now all the rice fields have already headed, and the tender pulp inside the rice grains has grown out. Most of them are normal. Some of them are well managed and fertilized and watered in time, so they grow better. Otherwise, they grow better.
Liu Yuhan's two mu of fertile land had been well-fertilized, and the crops were growing well, though slightly less so than the space. If everything went well until harvest, the yield per mu would be at least 1500 jin (approximately 1000 catties). The other villagers' crops should also yield around jin (approximately catties) per mu.
It will be harvested in about a month.
County Magistrate Zhu came more often. He went to the countryside all year round and noticed the differences in their rice cultivation.
He also visited the villagers and learned that the breeder was a daughter of the Liu family. Could it be that this girl had some magical potion? The same grain, yet the stalks and plumpness of the ears varied so drastically!
You have to know that the total yield per mu of these seeds is very different! The highest yield record of fertile land in Changle County is 400 kilograms per mu, and this record has not been broken yet.
Not knowing what would happen to the rice fields in Fulai Village, he secretly calculated in his mind, feeling both crazy and excited.
Oh my god, if he had known earlier, he would have asked the young lady from the Liu family for help with breeding. What a missed opportunity...
After this batch of rice is harvested, the villagers' rice will be collected to make good seeds. County Magistrate Zhu will then ask the girl from the Liu family for advice on how to breed the rice. He will have a plan in mind.
The Liu family said that the sweet potatoes and potatoes would be harvested in a few days. He asked for the specific date and he must come to see them. The Liu family agreed to sell some to the county government for seeds.
Liu Yuhan had no idea what County Magistrate Zhu was thinking.
She was painting in the space tonight. The rice in the space had been harvested and was piled up in the corridor for ventilation.
She stopped plowing the fields for the time being. The potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn in the space were almost ready for harvest, and she had too much to do.
Finish the painting you promised first.
Liu Yuhan's painting is a picture of blooming flowers and prosperity.
She painted peonies. She searched Baidu for a picture of a magnificent flower.
The peonies in the picture come in three colors: gold, Chinese red, and light pink. The picture is 80cm x 50cm, so this project is quite large.
There are six large peonies and three small ones. Three and nine were the ancient people's favorite numbers. Green leaves and branches are placed beneath the peonies, and a pair of butterflies playfully play above them. This is the outline of a painting.
First, draw the outline, then add the details, and finally color it. I still use modern Chinese painting pigments to color it. Once all the colors are applied, the painting is done. Write "Flowers bloom and wealth is prosperous" on the top right side of the painting.
Let’s mention another poem at the bottom left. What poem should we mention?
In the auspicious year when flowers are in full bloom, every household is happy, and the whole country is happy together.
Wealth flows like the waves of the sea, and it depends on the right time, sun and moon.
(Change "dragon" to "auspicious")
Liu Yuhan waited for the ink to dry before admiring it. Although it lacked a bit of charm, she had spent five nights painting it, so she had put a lot of effort into it.
She rolled up the painting carefully. The drawing paper she used was modern hard paper suitable for Chinese painting.
The next morning, he rode Feiyan to Changlai County.
Today is the 15th day. I wonder if Boss Li will ask the servant to come over and ask.
Liu Yuhan arrived at the store at 9:00 PM. When he entered the store, he saw Boss Li and the servant already in the store.
"Little Master, you're here. How's it going? The master's painting is finished."
"Boss Li, wait a moment."
Liu Yuhan entered the bedroom and took the painting out of the space.
"Boss Li, here's the painting. You can inspect it first and then decide how much to pay."
"Hey, this is what I should do. Be careful. I'll open it first."
Boss Li wiped his fat hands on his collar, placed the album on the counter and slowly opened it.
In addition to a few girls, there were several customers in the store looking at soaps. Mrs. Liu was also there. She was standing by the counter and preparing to buy a few more boxes of facial masks.
Silence fell.
Why is it so quiet all of a sudden? Liu Yuhan saw that everyone was stunned by the painting, with different expressions on their faces. Some people even forgot to close their mouths with their mouths open.
Liu Yuhan couldn't help but smile. What did this mean? Could her paintings be so stunning?
"This, this, this..." Boss Li was almost speechless.
"Is this painting real?! It looks like real flowers. The peony and the butterfly must be put on. Let me touch them." Mrs. Liu wanted to reach out her hand.
"Stop... stop it! All of you stay away from the painting. This is my painting. Don't get it dirty in the slightest. Don't insult the master's masterpiece."
"Young Master, how about we go to the back hall to talk?" Boss Li picked up the painting carefully.
"Boss Li, please."
Liu Yuhan followed Boss Li to the back hall, and Bai Zhi accompanied him.
"Oh my god, this painting is divine. Unfortunately, I'm not well-educated and don't know how to describe it."
"Little Master, this was painted by the master himself, right?"
"Of course. Just smell the fragrance of the ink. The master saw your sincerity and worked day and night to finish this painting. He spent nearly half a year on it. It's not easy to find. Boss Li, don't tell anyone else. The master recently said he doesn't accept paintings anymore."
"That's right, that's right. I only let people admire me and never say anything nonsense. The flowers are in full bloom. That's great, great."
As Boss Li spoke, he carefully rolled up the scroll and held it in his hand.
"Any offer is an insult to the master. This painting is priceless."
"Uh, Boss Li, the master also needs to eat and drink. The master said that this painting is destined for Boss Li. You can name the price."
"I'm out collecting debts today. Here are three thousand taels. I don't know if this is too much of a bother, Master." Boss Li took out the banknote and handed it to Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi looked at it and nodded to Liu Yuhan.
"Three thousand taels! Boss Li's sincerity is enough. The meaning of this painting is wealth and prosperity. Boss Li's business will surely get better and better, and his life will become more prosperous."
"Thank you, Master. I owe you a favor and will repay you next time."
"Boss Li, you're welcome."
"Then I'll be leaving first. I have to frame the painting as soon as possible."
"Boss Li, take care. Bai Zhi will see you off."
Liu Yuhan held a stack of banknotes in her hand, her heart bubbling with joy! Oh, these five nights were worth it. Hehe, she will temporarily occupy the reputation of "master".
Master, please don’t blame me.
