Chapter 106 Drawings
Gu Qingqing looked at the people around him who were willing but powerless, and could only say, "Sorry, big brother, I had an agreement with this lady boss before. She would save a seat for me every time, and I would give her the remaining red soup. It just so happens that her family runs a noodle stall."
Gu Qingqing said this, and then looked at the noodle stall owner who was a little dazed, and reminded her with a smile, "Boss, bring a clean bowl and I will scoop the soup for you."
The proprietress suddenly woke up, and while saying "Hey hey" excitedly, she turned around and went back to her stall.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was not something that had been agreed upon in advance. Gu Qingqing probably wanted to thank the landlady for taking care of her.
The man's brain was also quick. Seeing that he couldn't buy anything today, he said to himself, "It just so happens that I hadn't eaten when I came out. In that case, I'll have a bowl of noodles here."
With the buzzing man taking the lead, several people who also failed to buy something also followed him to the noodle stall.
Seeing that business was good, Gu Qingqing didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money. After all, her family was going to build a house and would need money later.
I still told everyone who hadn’t left, “If I can buy some pig offal today, I’ll come back tomorrow.”
After receiving her reply, everyone made up their minds to come early tomorrow.
Gu Qingqing poured the soup in the second jar to the noodle stall owner, and then said to her, "You can add a little salt and use it as a marinade."
The lady boss naturally understood her good intentions and said, "Thank you so much, big sister."
"You're too polite, sister-in-law. The mess here today must have affected your business." Gu Qingqing explained with a smile.
"No, no, our noodle business has improved a lot since you came here."
"That's the best. Sister-in-law, go and do your own thing. I'll pack up and leave as well." Gu Qingqing said as she put the empty jar in the car.
"Okay, I won't say any more polite words. From now on, as long as we set up a stall, this spot will always be yours."
Gu Qingqing nodded at the other party, and turned around to see Jiang Qingyan and Erhua playing the hand-slapping game.
Now it was Erhua's turn to hide, and Jiang Qingyan saw his big hand swinging back and forth under Erhua's hand. He tried various ways to test Erhua but did not make a final move.
Finally, when Erhua couldn't tell when he would attack, the opponent's big hand suddenly made a semicircle and his fingers gently touched the back of Erhua's hand.
"Hahaha, you lost again." Jiang Qingyan laughed extremely arrogantly.
Gu Qingqing walked over and said to Jiang Qingyan, "Thank you, Boss Jiang, for your help today."
"It's nothing. As long as my share is still there, it's worth it. It's better than having to squeeze together with them." Jiang Qingyan smiled at Erhua, picked up the bowl behind him and handed it to Gu Qingqing.
"It didn't hide it from your eyes." Gu Qingqing said as she went to the first jar and filled it up for him with soup and pork intestines.
This is why she saw that there were so many people and deliberately made the move at the first altar.
It would be difficult to leave some of the food in the second jar for Jiang Qingyan, but the first jar was different. At that time, many people knew that she had another jar to sell, so when she changed the jar, no one paid attention to whether there was anything left in the jar.
Jiang Qingyan took the bowl and pointed at the bamboo basket. "Since I took over, you have given out fifty-nine portions, and I have received four hundred and seventy-two coins, all in the basket. Including my portion, it is sixty portions."
Jiang Qingyan said as he buckled a dozen copper coins from his belt. Seeing this, Gu Qingqing said quickly, "This is one portion for you. Just give me eight cents. Thank you for your hard work today."
When the other party heard Gu Qingqing say this, he really counted out eight copper coins and put them in her bamboo basket.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Gu Qingqing hurriedly tried to stop him, "Boss Jiang, wait a moment."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she took out a small cloth bag from the car. When she opened it, there were two books inside. They were exactly what Wen Wuyan had copied in the past few days.
"This book was copied by my man. Boss Jiang, please take a look to see if there are any mistakes." Gu Qingqing said as she pushed the book towards the other party through the cloth.
"It's ready so soon?" Jiang Qingyan put the bowl in his hand on the car, wiped his hands on his body, and then took the book.
After saying "wait a moment", he looked at it seriously.
"Don't worry, Boss Jiang, take your time to look at it." After saying this, Gu Qingqing began to pack up.
About half a minute later, Jiang Qingyan looked up from the book and said to Gu Qingqing who was waiting beside him, "I checked it and there are no mistakes, omissions, or traces of erasure. But I don't have the thirty coins with me. Do you think it would be convenient for you to go to the bookstore with me to get it?"
"Of course, I can, but there's one more thing I want to ask Boss Jiang. Do you know if there are house building blueprints for sale in town? Or have you come across blueprints that are prettier than those in the average village?"
Gu Qingqing knew in her heart that there was no one in the town who specialized in selling blueprints, because she had talked about this with Wen Wuyan a lot in the past few days.
Besides, the houses built by the villagers are usually built in the same way. Apart from the differences in height and size, it is rare for the houses to have any other special features.
She had a limited idea in her head, all of which were reinforced concrete structures. Her knowledge of houses was not even one thousandth of her father's traditional Chinese medicine skills.
So she was still thinking on her way to town today that if she could meet him, she would ask him. He is a scholar and should be knowledgeable.
Jiang Qingyan was a little surprised after hearing this, "You want to build a house in the town?"
Hahaha, Gu Qingqing laughed, "Boss Jiang, you are joking. We don't have the money to build a house in town. We found a suitable piece of land at the foot of the hill next to our village."
"Can you tell me what style you want? I have a few drawings here, but I'm not sure if they are suitable for you." Jiang Qingyan asked.
Then Gu Qingqing told him about the geographical situation of her area and her general requirements for houses. "I won't hide anything from Boss Jiang. As long as it's prettier than the houses of the villagers, we will probably like it."
"That's a coincidence. I have made two copies of courtyard houses before. The main structure is a three-entry courtyard house with a garden on the side. You are about to go to the store with me to get the money. You can take a look. If you like it, I can sell it to you."
Gu Qingqing didn't want a three-courtyard house. She would be satisfied with a two-courtyard house.
But he nodded hurriedly, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Just when Gu Qingqing was about to pull the cart and follow Jiang Qingyan to Qingfeng Bookstore, a voice of "Auntie" suddenly sounded behind her.
Gu Qingqing looked back and saw Shen Chenan sitting on a tall horse with someone else. When he saw Gu Qingqing looking at him, he immediately waved his arm happily from her, and at the same time, he raised his leg and turned around, trying to get off the horse, but was stopped by Wu Yiyi's arm. Then he let Shen Chenan hold his arm and let him land safely.
After Shen Chenan landed, he rushed towards Gu Qingqing like a small cannonball, saying, "Aunt, I finally see you. The last time I came back, Uncle Shen told me that you gave me some meat. The meat was so delicious, but when I came to find you, you were no longer here."
