14. Paper for writing couplets

"Brother Qinyue, are you really going to sell couplets? But Mengmeng found out that there are already couplets for sale over there, and the business is not very good. Is it really okay for you to sell again?" On a sunny winter day In the afternoon, our curious baby Mengmeng started asking questions again.

At the moment, the two are in the library of Yunyang County. Qin Yue is flipping through books such as couplets quickly, while answering Mengmeng's question: "Of course, your brother Qin Yue is omnipotent! Ordinary people use The couplets I sell have no technical content, and the couplets I sell are not ordinary."

"Why is this unusual method?" Mengmeng showed a research enthusiasm to break through the casserole and ask the end.

Qin Yue smiled mysteriously: "Well, I won't reveal it." After finishing speaking, he put the six books he read today back on the shelf, and took out another book to read carefully.After the body transformation, the memory has been greatly improved, and it is almost like a photographic memory. The contents of those books seem to be rooted in the mind, and it will appear in the mind immediately after thinking about it lightly.

"Hey, brother Qinyue, you read another book, are you sure you can remember it after reading it?" Mengmeng seemed to be curious to the end.Her small face was full of curiosity, which was full of exploration, and the small red mouth that was pouted when asking questions made people have an urge to pinch her.It's so cute, Qin Yue is very lucky, fortunately, he is already tanned, otherwise, he would be the one who was watched and pinched while walking on the road.

"You can almost remember it. Have you forgotten? Your elder brother Qin Yue is very knowledgeable and memorized." Qin Yue's knowledgeable memory is correct, but compared with before, it is a world of difference now up.But how could Mengmeng know the reason? She nodded half-understood, the black gems in her eyes glowed charmingly, Qin Yue quickly looked away.

Reading is just the first step. This is to get some stocks for yourself. Since you don't take the usual path, you have to fool people.I'm going to buy some red paper next time. I don't know if there is a special store selling this thing. Qin Yue thought about it for a while, and then brought Mengmeng there with him. Seeing is believing, and true knowledge comes from practice. Scalp is there or not, or not.

When we arrived at the largest wholesale market in Yunyang County, there was a surge of crowds, and there were many people who came out to buy things during the festival, which was full of festive atmosphere.The first floor is where you can buy candy and other snacks. Mengmeng couldn't move as soon as she got here, and she watched eagerly.Qin Yue couldn't stop laughing, and hurriedly pulled her up to the third floor: "It's so cute, I'll come and buy it for you when we earn money, and I promise to make your belly round and you won't be able to walk."

Mengmeng slapped Qin Yue, and snorted: "You treat everyone like a pig, but Mengmeng likes to be brother Qin Yue's pig, so let you feed me. Hehe."

Qin Yue chuckled, feeling very warm in his heart.When I reached the third floor, I searched for half a circle, but there were some selling red paper, but each one only sold the whole sheet, and I had to cut it according to my needs.How could Qin Yue have the time to do this, so he had to let them go one by one, insisting on looking for the cut ones.There is really no other way, just go back and buy it.

When I arrived at a paper and stationery place in the far corner, other people’s business was very good, but this one was very deserted. The owner of the shop looked sad and sat there motionless, like an eggplant beaten by frost, sluggish Sluggish, there is one written on the whole head: bad!

Qin and Yue came to the front of the shop, but the shop owner was still thinking about his own affairs, and seemed indifferent.

"Excuse me, do you have that kind of cut red paper in your house? It's the kind for writing couplets!" After waiting for a while, seeing that the shop owner really didn't mean to greet her, Mengmeng was going to pull Qin Yue away, but By coincidence, Qin Yue still asked.

"What?" The shop owner almost jumped up, looking at Qin Yue excitedly. "Do you want that kind of red paper? How much?" He looked at Qin Yue without blinking, completely forgetting that the person in front of him was a teenager.

Seeing the owner of the store like this, Qin Yue was secretly happy, it seemed that there was something going on.But you have a crazy expression on your face: "How much do you want? How much do you think you can use? I feel that I have made great progress in writing calligraphy recently, so I want to buy some for myself to practice."

Hearing Qin Yue's words, the shop owner showed a disappointed expression on his face, and muttered to himself: "I thought my dream was reliable, but it turned out to be so unreliable, really."

"Sell it or not?" Qin Yue tapped the table and asked leisurely, "Show me a few first, if it's not good, I don't want to buy one."

The owner of the store lacked motivation, so he lazily brought over some cut red paper, and perfunctorily said some sales pitches: "Look, this cut couplet is about 1.3 meters long and [-] centimeters long. Width, this ratio is just right, it can be applied to many doors. If you look at this workmanship, it is absolutely first-class, and there are faint water patterns of Bodhisattva on it, which can only be seen if you look carefully. In short, if this is written as a couplet, it is absolutely The atmosphere is beautiful! How come no one wants it?"

The owner of the sales shop became a little depressed again. This time, he specially went to investigate, found a unique way, and was going to do a big job. Who would have thought of this mistake? Almost no one bought the nearly 4000 pieces of red paper with couplets that came in. Only the comparison A few good dealers took one or two thousand copies and went back to play.After the Spring Festival, these couplets are still useless. It seems that there are only less than ten days left. Based on this calculation, these couplets will cost me at least [-] yuan... This is why the shop owner is worried and depressed.

"Well, it's very good." Qin Yue looked at the cut couplet paper in front of him, and was very satisfied. He didn't expect that there was actually something for sale, and it was much better than he imagined.It seems that my plan to make money is still very promising, which is really exciting.

"Then how much is it?" Qin Yue asked calmly.

"One piece costs two yuan. The workmanship is really good. I didn't say anything." The owner of the store is very relaxed anyway, so the price is still set very high. "Use this paper to write couplets. It will not fade for a long time. It is durable, beautiful and tidy. A pair of four yuan It’s just money, and the ink is worthless, and the effect is much better than those five or six yuan on the market.”

"That's right. If I buy a lot, will there be a discount?" Qin Yue said slowly, releasing his bait.

He glanced at Qin Yue suspiciously, this young man is at most a teenager, can he afford a lot?But people should not be judged by their appearances. Seeing that he spoke in a very orderly manner, the shop owner hesitated: "It depends on what you measure. The larger the quantity, the cheaper the price."

"If I buy one hundred copies, what price will it be?" Qin Yue slowly revealed his strong purchasing power.

"One yuan and eight." The shopkeeper lowered it a little.

"Five hundred, can it be lower?" Another bomb was thrown out.

"Then one yuan and five, this price is absolutely fair!" The shop owner was a little excited.

"I want two thousand copies, you give me the lowest price!" Qin Yue made a final decision and dealt another heavy blow!

"One yuan and two, it won't work any lower." The owner of the shop became more and more confused. Could this person be kidding himself?

"Very good, I've covered everything for you, how about you give me one yuan per piece?" Although Qin Yue knew that one yuan was still higher than the owner's purchase price, he still set the price at one yuan above.Let everyone get relative satisfaction, which is an important prerequisite for cooperation.

"You won't be cheating on me, are you?" The shop owner became excited. His purchase price was 600 cents, and if it was one piece, it would be a profit of [-] cents. If there were [-] pieces, that would be [-] yuan.

"Of course not." Qin Yue smiled softly, giving off a very sincere attitude, "But I want to pay in installments, and I can only get two thousand pieces each time. If you believe me, then we'll make a deal, no Trust me, that's fine."

The shop owner hesitated again, and then he gritted his teeth and regarded him as a wholesaler, and gave it!

This time the owner of the shop wiped out his dejected attitude, people live to wait for hope, if they don't make progress, they will be lifeless, and after a long time, they will be devastated.Qin Yue's arrival gave him great hope. After all, he had already obtained 2000 yuan for two thousand sheets of paper. If Qin Yue didn't buy them, then those papers would be waste paper.That means that I have to lose the 2000 yuan, which means that I have to kneel down for a month on the computer motherboard.If it is a little extravagant, if this young man can really buy all his papers, then he will not only make money from this business, but also raise his head in front of his wife, turn the clouds and rain on her, and gallop freely.What a difference.

Before leaving, the shop owner held Zhong Hou's hand affectionately as if saying goodbye to a fellow in the Red Army: "You must come back, I am waiting for you here."

Qin Yue broke into sweat immediately, and almost replied: "You must take good care of our property, and don't let the devils sweep it away."

Two thousand pieces of red paper for couplets were neatly stacked, and there were two full sacks. Qin Yue carried the two sacks and went downstairs like nothing. The makeup is very magnificent, raising his head and looking into the distance, Qin Yue patted the sack in his hand: "It's up to you."

Mengmeng leaned over her little head suddenly, and added with a smile: "There is me."

Qin Yue smiled: "I'm going home, and I will officially start making money tomorrow. When I earn money, I'll buy you two big bowls of tofu nao. You put sugar in one bowl and salt in the other bowl. If you want to drink sweet, drink sweet Yes, if you want to drink something salty, you can drink something salty, alas, this life is really delicious."

Mengmeng giggled, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the sound of silver bells wafted all the way.

Qin Yue came to the door of the house with two large bags of red paper on which couplets were written, rang the doorbell, and the door opened. It was Wang Xiulian who opened the door. When she saw Qin Yue and the two of them, she whispered: "Come in quickly, your father I have asked several times in the afternoon, where have you been? He said that you should study hard at home even if you are not studying there, and you must not lose face to our old Qin family. Sigh, he is in a bad mood recently, Qin Yue, you Give in a little more."

"Hey, what are these?" Wang Xiulian noticed the two sacks in Qin Yue's hands, looking heavy and heavy.

Qin Yue quickly blocked it with his hands: "Don't read this thing, Mom, what are you having for dinner? Mengmeng wants to eat dumplings." Qin Yue quickly changed the subject.

Mengmeng blinked her big eyes: "I didn't... Oh, yes, eat dumplings, dumplings are delicious." Just as she was about to say that she didn't say such a thing, she saw Qin Yue winking at her, and immediately changed her words.

Wang Xiulian went to work in the kitchen again. The meal was already ready, but since the cute baby wanted to eat dumplings, she was naturally satisfied. Anyway, there were dumpling wrappers and ready-made fillings.Only then did Qin Yue heave a sigh of relief, and quickly sent the things back to his room. He couldn't help but frown, he couldn't hide this thing.

As soon as he came out, he saw his father Qin Guangyao sitting on the edge of the table majesticly. When he saw Qin Yue, he almost burst into flames: "Why did I give birth to such a son as you? In middle school, you came back with such a bad test result. Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about another thing. Even if you come back to study in ordinary high school, you will be wronged? Isn’t it the same? You are fine , the whole thing is self-defeating, can't you study during the winter vacation?"

Qin Yue didn't speak, he lowered his head and wrung his hands together, his complicated emotions towards Qin Guangyao made him not know what to say.

The more Qin Guangyao talked, the more angry he became: "Thinking of how obedient and hardworking I was back then, I was just a little short of being admitted to Qingbei University, the highest school in China. I thought I could fulfill my dream with you, but now It seems that the mud can't support the wall. You don't think about making progress, you are idle, and even your cute sister is brought with you all day by you, Mengmeng, don't play with him next time."

Hearing what Qin Guangyao said about Qin Yue, Mengmeng pouted, the boss was not happy: "Grandfather Qin, brother Qin Yue is very obedient, who said he was going to come back to study, he is busy earning tuition for himself now Well, if you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense.”

He was much more kind to Mengmeng Qin Guangyao, and stopped snorting and staring: "Earn tuition? That's not 1000 and [-], that's [-]. Why does he earn it? Don't be fooled by him."

"Really." Mengmeng became more and more unhappy, and wanted to prove something even more. She pointed to Qin Yue's room, "We bought everything, and it was really to make money."

Qin Yue secretly smiled wryly, this girl Mengmeng forgot her instructions when she got anxious.However, this matter can't be kept hidden from beginning to end. It's fine if it is told, but at worst it will be blamed.

Qin Guangyao went to Qin Yue's room suspiciously, and after a while, he took out two red couplets and looked at them over and over again: "Is this the only thing? Can it make money? Can it still make [-]?" He asked three consecutive sentences, explaining that The extreme doubt in his heart.

"It can make money!" Qin Yue nodded affirmatively.

Qin Guangyao snorted: "Qin Yue, I think you have some problems recently, and you need to adjust your mentality. If you fail, stand up again, and don't do anything crooked."

Qin Yue clenched his fists tightly, and then loosened them again. After all, this is his father. He hurt him once, which made him sad and disappointed. No matter what he said, he should have said it.Qin Yue's expression was flat: "What you said is, get up wherever you fall. I will not leave Yinghua High School. I will prove it to you."

Seeing the determination on Qin Yue's face, Qin Guangyao's heart moved, and he didn't say anything more.

"Old lady, I haven't eaten yet. My stomach is already playing empty tricks." Qin Guangyao ignored Qin Yue and went to the kitchen by himself.Qin Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since he didn't ask himself, it means that he still gave himself a chance, maybe this is the last time.
