Chapter 176: Sold Out
The trouble of people is to be a good teacher.
Chu Suiliang is no exception.
He is in the prime of life, and he has no resistance to commenting on other people's words, and he likes this kind of behavior that can strengthen his image invisibly.
Therefore, after saying this, the few of them left Sihaiju directly and came to the Qin family's shop opposite.
Inside, there were only a few people looking at the umbrellas in the store that sold umbrellas, but after they learned the price, they all smiled wryly and shook their heads secretly.
Obviously, they like the style of the oil-paper umbrella, but they think the umbrella is too expensive.
"Get out of your most expensive umbrella here." The most expensive umbrella has Qin Tian inscription and painting, because of the long working time, so the price is naturally much higher.
Chu Suiliang was surrounded by people and stood in the shop, and a guy hurriedly took out a light white oil-paper umbrella.
A student stretched out the umbrella and turned the side with the inscription for Chu Suiliang to admire, and in his opinion, if nothing else, his calligraphy teacher was afraid that Qin Tian's characters would be incomplete.
Because they practice calligraphy on weekdays, they are criticized by Chu Suiliang like this.
But just when he was thinking like this, Chu Suiliang suddenly snatched the umbrella back from his hand after seeing those words, and then almost put his eyes on it.
Everyone was on the sidelines, shocked.
This teacher of theirs has always been above the top, and he has never put anyone's words in his eyes, but why is it like this today?
Does he appreciate it or not?
If you don't appreciate it, you'll definitely start criticizing it by now.
Everyone was suspicious, staring at Chu Suiliang and not even daring to come out.
After this tea, Chu Suiliang suddenly sighed: "Good words, good words, good words, be my teacher." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the guy and said, "How much?" ”
"This costs two dollars."
Chu Suiliang nodded: "I want it." ”
Without hesitation, Chu Suiliang took out the money from his body, but this time, his face suddenly changed, he was invited by the students to the banquet, and he didn't bring any money when he came.
But as soon as the words came out, it was embarrassing.
However, at this time, Lu Lin had recovered from the shock just now, and understood Chu Suiliang's situation, so he hurriedly took a piece of silver cake out: "Mr. likes it, this umbrella is given to Mr. by the student." ”
Chu Suiliang was born rich and noble, and he was not short of money, but today is really a special situation, so he also accepted Lu Lin's gift, so after getting the umbrella, he was like a treasure, and after a few brief words with Lu Lin, he hurried away with the umbrella.
Lu Lin and the others were a little confused.
"What does Mr. mean by this, how can he still be my teacher, Mr. never convinces people."
"Maybe Qin Tian's calligraphy is really good, let's buy it too."
Several people hurriedly bought an umbrella each, and at this time, the other people in the shop also recovered from the shock just now.
"That person just now was Chu Suiliang, right?"
"Of course it's him, I heard that one word of him is worth ten dollars?"
"But he seems to have a lot of respect for the words on Qin Tian's umbrella."
"Ah, doesn't that mean that Qin Tian's words are more valuable than his?"
"Man, I've got this umbrella."
"I want it too......"
Everyone is not stupid, if Qin Tian's words are worth more than Chu Suiliang's, then they are definitely worth the money to buy an umbrella for one or two dollars, not to mention that this oil-paper umbrella is also good to see the extreme.
Even if you don't use it, it's a nice decoration to hang in the living room.
After a while, the news spread in the east and west cities, and as soon as the news spread, those who like to collect calligraphy and paintings rushed to run, and in less than half a pillar of incense, all the oil paper umbrellas were swept away.
There are even many people who come late and can't buy it, and they are very disappointed and regretful.
All this was seen by Lu Lin, who had returned to Sihaiju again, and when he saw this, he immediately understood what his eldest sister meant.
His eldest sister clearly saw that Qin Tian's font was extraordinary, so she wanted to borrow Chu Suiliang to make a name for the oil paper umbrella, and as long as she became famous, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to sell it?
Chang'an City, people are stupid and have a lot of money.
After understanding this, Lu Lin pursed his lips, thinking that his eldest sister had not yet married, so he began to turn his elbow outward.
But he didn't know what to say, and now that he saw that his eldest sister's plan had succeeded, he didn't stay in Sihaiju for more, so he hurriedly rushed back to Lufu and told his eldest sister about the situation.
Lu Huaniang heard that the oil-paper umbrella was sold out, so she showed a faint smile.
Didn't Tang Rong want to borrow two lines of poetry for her, then she would also let Tang Rong see her skills now.
Qin Family Manor.
The news that the oil-paper umbrellas were sold out came quickly, and the guy also brought a sentence, there are many people who have ordered oil-paper umbrellas now, and I hope that Qin Tian will let people produce more.
The oil-paper umbrella couldn't be sold before, and Qin Tian already had to give up this business, after all, the current tea business is very profitable, and the oil-paper umbrella is seasonal, so it is really not a profiteering industry.
After hearing the news that the oil-paper umbrella was sold out, Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, why did the oil-paper umbrella that couldn't be sold out before suddenly sell out?
"What the hell is going on?"
"Young master, I don't know if it's small, today Lu Lin, the son of the Lu family, took Chu Suiliang to the store, and after Chu Suiliang saw the umbrella inscribed by the son, he said a few good words, and if he was my teacher, then the others bought it like crazy."
The subordinate recounted the situation to Qin Tian, and after listening to it, Qin Tian thought about it for a while, and guessed that this might be Lu Huaniang's means.
After all, if it weren't artificial, the good Lu Lin took Chu Suiliang to the store to see what words?
This made Qin Tian feel a little more grateful to Lu Huaniang, a woman helping herself like this really has some indescribable sweet feelings.
However, after thinking of Chu Suiliang's words as my teacher, Qin Tian's whole person couldn't help but shudder, his handwriting was very good, better than Chu Suiliang's, he knew this very well.
Although Chu Suiliang's calligraphy is very good in history, Chu Suiliang's calligraphy in the prime of life has not yet been completed, and it cannot reach the height of history at all, so he will be so shocked after seeing his own words.
But his words may bring a lot of trouble to himself.
First of all, if you want to continue to sell oil-paper umbrellas, you may have to keep writing inscriptions, not to mention the hard work, and it is a great waste of time, but he is more willing to spend some time on other things.
Moreover, after his words were raised by Chu Suiliang, when this is mentioned on the umbrella surface, won't it also have to increase the price?
Then the oil-paper umbrella loses its true purpose.
But if you don't ask the question, others are afraid that the door of the Qin family's manor will be broken in order to get their own words.
Thinking about the situation of being surrounded by people asking for words, Qin Tian had an indescribable sense of fear coming over him.
