Chapter 40

The reason why Li forgot to worry came all the way from Dingzhou village to Chang'an was to make a fortune in pingkang square and earn his first pot of gold in Datang!

When he came to a brothel, he saw a young fat man in black trying to get off a good horse with the help of a young man. Li forgot his worry and brightened his eyes.

Looking around, seeing that no one was paying attention to himself, Li forget worry sneaked over like those vendors selling yellow discs in the streets in later generations, and whispered, "brother, do you want to buy a picture?"

Li Qieyou's sneaky appearance startled the white fat man.

"What are you doing?"

"Hey, brother, do you want to buy a picture?"

"What picture to buy?" the fat man blinked twice and didn't understand what Li forgot to worry about.

Li Qieyou didn't answer him. He looked around and said, "brother, there are many people here. It's inconvenient. Can you take a step to talk?"

The fat man looked at him with a little vigilance. It seemed that he didn't want to rush into contact with Li forgetful.

Seeing the fat man's vigilance, Li forgot to worry, carefully took out a roll of drawings from his arms, opened it for the fat man, and then immediately put it away.

But just at that glance, the young fat man's eyes immediately widened, his nostrils widened, and his face looked incredible.

"Is this the picture you want to sell? Come on, give it to me and look at it carefully!"

"There are so many people here that it's inconvenient." Li forgot to worry and was embarrassed.

The fat man immediately looked around, pointed to the deserted alley and said, "brother, how about you and me go there to talk?"

Li forgot to worry and nodded. The fat man also refused to follow the young man next to him. One by one, they went to the alley.

"Come on, come on, show me the picture carefully." as soon as he walked into the alley, the fat man couldn't wait to urge Li forgetful to give him the picture.

With a smile, Li forgot to worry, took out the mulberry paper from his arms again, spread it out and sent it to the fat man.

This time the fat man looked more carefully, his eyes almost burst into fire, and his eyes were completely trapped in the picture in his hand.

"This, what is this painting? Why is it so lifelike? Who is this woman?"

Li Qieyou did not answer, but asked with a smile, "do you like it, brother?"

"Of course, did you just say you want to sell this picture? I bought it! How much is it?" the fat man couldn't wait to answer.

Li forgot to worry and raised a finger: "a hundred liang of gold."

"Hiss..." even with psychological preparation, the fat man was startled by the price offered by Li forgetful and took a breath.

"How can this be? It's too expensive! Your picture is not made by a famous master, and even if it is made by a famous master, it's not as expensive as this price!" the fat man shook his head.

"Brother, this picture is rare in the world and can be called a treasure! Have you ever seen such a picture? If you can take out one, I will give it to you free of charge."

"This..." the fat man was short of words, but he still felt that the price was too expensive.

"Well, you and I are lucky today. Brother, tell me the price. If it's appropriate, it's OK to transfer the picture to you cheaper." Li forgetful worry was just a lion talking, waiting for the fat man to make a counter-offer.

"How about ten dollars?" the fat man was so rude that he cut Li forgetful's price into the price of cabbage.

Li forgot to worry and pretended to be angry. He stretched out his hand to take back his painting: "return the picture to me. Since you don't really want to buy it, don't waste your time."

"Don't, don't, it's easy to discuss." the fat man was afraid that Li forgot to worry and took the picture back. He shrunk his hand and hid the picture behind him: "brother, it's cheaper. One hundred liang of gold is really too expensive. You can't find anyone in Chang'an City who can buy the picture at this price."

Li forgot to worry, turned his eyes and replied, "Eighty Liang."

"Twenty passes."

"Sixty two."

"Thirty passes."

... after they had a fierce discussion and bargaining, the picture of Li forgot to worry was sold at the price of 60 Guan and 12 liang of gold.

The fat man stretched out his hand and summoned his little boy: "give me ten liang of gold."

"What? Twelve taels of gold?" the boy quickly covered his back girdle with his hand and looked at Li forgetful with vigilance.

Obviously, in the young man's eyes, Li forget worry is a liar. It's a great thing to cheat ten liang of gold from his husband.

"Stop talking nonsense and give me the money quickly!"

"No, Mr. lang. the master said that you can only watch songs and dances when you come to pingkangfang, and you are not allowed to do other things, otherwise you will ask the slave later." the young man still shook his head.

"Nonsense! I'm shopping. I'll tell the adult when I go back. Give me the money quickly."

The young man still shook his head and refused. His husband was cheated not once or twice, so the master told him to watch carefully and don't be cheated again.

It's a small matter to spend money. The most important thing is to lose face in the government after being cheated.

Fat man's mansion is a famous merchant in Chang'an City, but he is often tricked into spending a lot of money.

It doesn't matter to spend money, nor does his father.

But because fat people are always cheated, they spend wronged money to buy a pile of junk as a baby to go home from time to time, which almost becomes a joke in Chang'an city.

Then I told my son's boy to watch the money. You can go out to drink and reward, but you can't buy some junk.

The fat man was so anxious that he took a look at the picture he was holding in his hand: "see clearly, what I want to buy is this picture! Give me the money quickly!"

At one glance, the boy was silly. He looked straight at the picture in the fat man's hand, and a line of bright red nosebleed unconsciously flowed down from his nostrils.

The fat man looked disgusted: "useless things, wipe your nose blood quickly. It's a shame not to bring you to pingkang square in the future."

The boy then reacted, ashamed, casually wiped out nose blood with his cuffs, and then took out two ingots of gold from his girdle and handed it to the fat man.

The fat man handed the gold to Li forgetful worry: "brother, we have cleared the goods and silver. This picture belongs to me."

"Naturally so." hearing that the evening drum had sounded, Li forgot to worry and arched his hand at the fat man: "brother, see you later."

They parted at this point. The fat man didn't go to the brothel to see any songs and dances. He climbed onto the horse's back and asked the boy to go back to the house immediately.

And Li forgot to worry and walked out of the gate of pingkang square and went back to Chongren square. This time, the old pawn guarding the gate misunderstood and shook his head at Li forgetful's back.

He muttered softly, "it's a kind of goods. It doesn't look good. He came back in less than a stroke of incense. Tut Tut, his bones are weak enough."

Thanks to Li Qieyou, I don't know how the old soldier thinks of him behind his back. Otherwise, I'll spit blood. You're empty!

Returning to the hostel, Li forgot to worry, returned to his room, closed the door, and immediately took out the two ingots of gold from his arms.

"Ha ha, I'm really a genius! I can think of such a way! Tut Tut, I can really sell twelve liang of gold. The spending power of otaku men in the Tang Dynasty is also terrible."

Li forgot to worry and talked to himself for a long time. Then he carefully collected the gold ingot in the package, turned on the oil lamp, took a piece of mulberry paper and got busy again.

With a charcoal pen in his hand, he kept sketching and smearing on the mulberry paper.

Soon, the pattern prototype appeared on the mulberry paper, impressively a naked - body - female - human body sketch!
