Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 551 Where did you come from this veil?

When Liu Ya left the back door of Hongxiufang, she felt hungry and tired.In fact, it was because the previous debridement surgery was too serious and consumed a lot of mental and physical strength.

Looking around, there are quite a few restaurants nearby, but this entire street is the most prosperous place in Anji City, so the consumption here must not be cheap.

Although Liu Ya is rich now, but recently she spends more and earns less, so she can't just sit and eat.So for small things like eating, I don't plan to go to big restaurants.

Walking out of this street, Liu Ya found a noodle shop on a side street, which served wontons, noodle soup, and a few side dishes, mainly because the shop looked very clean.Liu Ya brought a bowl of wontons and two side dishes, and sat down to eat quietly.

While eating, Liu Ya looked at the commotion outside, and saw that the opposite room was very strange. There were many streamers hanging on the pole in front of the door, and there were at least a dozen signs on the walls on both sides of the door, big and small. Small and available in a variety of materials and styles.

Liu Ya asked the shopkeeper who was also a clerk, "What kind of shop is that opposite? Why are there so many signboards and banners?"

"That's a shop that makes signboards and plaques." The shopkeeper said: "Their family has been in business for more than [-] years. It turns out that his father did the work, carving stone tablets, plaques, and sewing cloth banners. Nearly My son has been doing it for ten years, so I don’t engrave stone tablets, I only make signboards and banners. Speaking of which, more than half of the shops in Anji City have plaques made here.”

After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper pointed to the door of his shop and said, "Have you seen our signboard? It was engraved by his father for my father more than 20 years ago, and the name was also given by his father. Said It has been passed down from generation to generation, and this signboard is also a century-old brand.”

Liu Ya raised her eyebrows, deliberately put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand and walked out, looking up at the signboard of this small noodle restaurant.After seeing it, I couldn't help laughing, only to see that there were only four words on the signboard: "A noodle shop."

When Liu Ya came here before, she just smelled the noodles and saw customers eating noodles and wontons, but she really didn't notice the creative name of this store.This time I saw the name of the store, and saw that it was a piece of rosewood woodcut with four characters, painted with black lacquer, and I thought it was quite distinctive.Then he walked back and said to the shopkeeper and assistant: "It's a good name. If you pass this brand down, you can indeed become a century-old brand."

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "It's a joke. When I wanted to make a sign, I went to the opposite door to ask how to engrave it and how much it cost. I also asked if I could give it to you. A name, because several generations of our family are illiterate. The father of that family asked my father, "What kind of store is your house? I need to know what it sells, so I can name you, engraved Signboard.’ My dad said ‘a noodle shop.’ Well, the old man at the opposite door directly gave us such a name, and it’s called a noodle shop.”

Liu Ya also laughed when she heard it, but she felt that the father of that family was quite a funny person.And there must be a bit of literary talent, otherwise it would not be possible to give such a name that seems casual, but is actually elegant and unconventional.

After thinking about it, Liu Ya hurriedly finished the wontons and side dishes, gave the money, got up and walked towards the opposite shop.

The shopkeeper took the money, and when he saw Liu Ya walking towards the signboard shop opposite, he kindly called out: "Girl, if you want to make a signboard or a banner, just say it was introduced by a noodle restaurant opposite. The price the family gives you must be cheap."

"Okay, thank you." Liu Ya turned her head and thanked, then walked in.

This shop looked really strange from the outside, after all, there were too many banners and signboards hanging on the door, which seemed a bit overwhelming and disorganized.But when I walked in, I found that the layout of this small shop was simple and clear.

Because carving is also a kind of handwork, it stands to reason that the inside of this shop should be knocking, "jingling", noisy and messy, but this shop is not only not messy, but also simple as hell.There is a log table in the center, with a few log chairs next to it, and an antique shelf against the wall, but what is placed on it is not all kinds of antiques, but pieces of wood.

Most of the wood retains its original bark and shape, and some even have a small branch.There are also some woods whose outer skin has been worn away, exposing the inner wood, just like the peeling of jade, which has a certain display effect.

However, the room was so simple, yet Liu Ya couldn't find where the owner was.But there is a small door at the back, and there is a door curtain hanging on the door, so you can't see what's inside.Liu Ya yelled into the door and asked, "Is the shopkeeper there? I want to make a sign."

"Here we come." It was a woman who responded.Immediately, the curtain on the small door was raised, and a woman in her thirties came out.

This woman looks very ordinary, but her figure is really good-looking, but she is not the kind of woman who is weak in the wind, she has a kind of healthy beauty.Moreover, she was a capable and stable woman, with an intellectual beauty in her eyebrows and eyes.

In fact, the beauty of some people really comes from the bottom of their bones. It doesn’t mean that you will feel good-looking if you wear good-looking clothes or expensive jewelry.

Liu Ya didn't expect that this woman would be the shopkeeper of such a shop, so she was just slightly taken aback, and then said: "I want to make a plaque, and I bring my own words, can you copy it and carve it?"

The woman nodded and said, "Yes, have you brought the words? Let me have a look."

Liu Ya took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to the woman.

This was written to Liu Ya by the lady in the luxurious carriage passing by Xiaoshuipu not long after it opened. The name "Quanqing Zhuxiang" was given by her.Afterwards, this handkerchief was kept at home, in the makeup box that my mother left behind.It was also recently that Xiaoshuipu was going to be built into a big house. Liu Ya thought that the previous signboard was just a bamboo tube, so it couldn't just be like this forever.Only then did he find the handkerchief and took it with him.

What a coincidence, I saw such a shop today that can carve signboards.Liu Ya thought about copying these four characters directly and engraving them on the plaque.

The woman took the handkerchief and unfolded it for a look, then frowned, then looked up at Liu Ya, and asked, "Excuse me, girl, where did you get this handkerchief? The words on it are again Who wrote it to you?"

Liu Ya was taken aback when she heard her question.Because she thought that the noble lady in the carriage might have an extraordinary status, but she didn't expect that the female shopkeeper of such a small shop would even recognize the owner of the veil?
