Do as you say. Liu Yongqing stands there motionless as she sees Luoying going to the front.
"What's the matter?" Luo Ying asked back.
Liu Yongqing said with a wry smile, "can we have something to eat before we go? I really don't have any strength... "
I think so. After working so long, they wandered around most of the town, but got nothing. Not only Liu Yongqing, but also Luo Ying could not hold on
After finding a booth at random, Luo Ying and Liu Yongqing sit down and begin to eat. Because of no harvest, Luo Ying becomes a little silent, while Liu Yongqing is silent.
After they were full, they sat there and did not move. They didn't know anything about the town. Where should they go to find cheaper paper.
"Little two, check out!" Next to a table after the guests eat a shout, attracted the attention of Luo Ying and Liu Yongqing.
Little two's skill is also sharp. She looks like she's in her thirties. Luo Ying's heart moved, and then she asked, "little two, the bean curd here is the most delicious bean curd I've ever eaten. It's been a few years since I came here to open up?"
On hearing this, the second child looked rather proud and said with a smile, "my guest, you must be a stranger, right?"
Luo Ying smiles awkwardly and nods.
"That's not surprising. Our shop is the one that opened the earliest and longest time here. It's also opened from my grandfather's generation. After all, it's almost a hundred years old..."
Luo Ying and Liu Yongqing are surprised. No wonder they have so many guests
Then Luo Ying said, "well, you are also local people..."
"That's not true." The small two side says, the work in the hand also doesn't stop.
"Do you know where the local paper, ink pen and inkstone are cheaper?"
On hearing this, Liu Yongqing immediately understood the meaning of Luoying, but the second child seemed to be an ordinary second child. How could he know these things.
The second child thought about it and then said, "if you want to say cheap, you have to count the ink house in the East. The paper there is very good and the price is cheap. My father and I used to go shopping there when I was a child."
Luoying nods. She and Liu Yongqing have been to moxiangju, but the paper there is good, but it's not cheap. At least for Luoying and Liu Yongqing, it's beyond their acceptable range.
"Is there anything cheaper?"
Xiao Er stopped his work, stood up straight and thought, "that's old man Zhang outside the city. He was a scholar when he was young. Later, he went to Beijing several times to take the entrance examination, but he didn't take the senior high school entrance examination. Finally, he moved outside the city to develop his own writing brush and ink. If you talk about it well, he will sell you some."
Lao zhangtou? Luo Ying and Liu Yongqing are very happy. They quickly check out and ask about the residence of Lao Zhang tou, a sophomore, and then rush out of the city.
All the way to the outside of the city, Luoying and Liu Yongqing walked for a long time before they finally found the residence of Lao zhangtou. From a distance, they saw a large area of green bamboo, swaying in the wind, and the sound of bamboo leaves came from a distance. With the fragrance of bamboo leaves, they were refreshing.
Luoying and Liu Yongqing pass through the bamboo forest. It turns out that Lao zhangtou's residence is in the bamboo forest. No wonder they haven't seen the so-called thatched cottage after watching it for a long time.
In the middle of the bamboo grove, Luo Ying and Liu Yongqing stand there and look at the empty yard. There are some bamboo poles scattered in the corner of the yard that haven't been dealt with in time. Besides, there are some messy things placed at will. Who is there.
Just as Luoying and Liu Yongqing were wondering, an old voice came from behind them, "who are you?"
Hearing the news, Luoying and Liu Yongqing turned back in a hurry. Not far behind them, an old man with white hair and beard was standing there. His grey coat and dark blue trousers, and his straw sandals were covered with mud. It seemed that he had just come back from the bamboo forest.
"Oh, sir, we came here to buy some paper with you. I don't know about you..." Luo Ying said quickly.
Lao Zhang snorted coldly and said with a smile, "buy paper? You are so poor that you all come to me to buy paper. Do you have enough money? "
Luo Ying and Liu Yongqing face a burst of embarrassment, but Luo Ying still said with a smile: "whether enough or not, as long as we can buy it..."
Lao Zhang looks at Luo Ying and Liu Yongqing. Luo Ying's face is sincere. Although Liu Yongqing's clothes are simple, he reveals his stubbornness. It seems that others owe him a lot of money.
"Who are you?" Lao Zhang asked Liu Yongqing.
Liu Yongqing was stunned and said, "we are not local people, even if I said it, you don't know."
This attitude let Luoying touch him with her arm, glared at him, and motioned him not to talk to Lao zhangtou like this.
Liu Yongqing didn't care at all, and argued with Luo Ying reasonably, "I'm right. If we hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't want to sell my own calligraphy and paintings."“ Hum, your calligraphy and painting are very good. Do you think someone will buy your calligraphy and painting when you have paper and ink? " Lao Zhang is also quite dismissive. Liu Yongqing smell speech is a stare, "you little look down on me!"“ If I look down on you, you should prove it to me with facts! " Lao Zhang's head is tied up with Liu Yongqing... Seeing the atmosphere become stalemate because of the two people's argument, Luo Ying quickly makes a round in the middle, "OK, OK, Liu Yongqing, if you can't, you can draw a picture for the old man to show him."“ OK, you draw for me Before Liu Yongqing spoke, Lao zhangtou took the lead in nodding his head and agreed... Liu Yongqing did not hesitate, "painting is painting!" As a child, Liu Yongqing already showed his talent in painting and writing. Later, as he grew older, his specialty was discovered by Liu Chengwen, and he hired a teacher to teach him in this field. But because of this, Liu Yongqing deliberately showed impatience and left several teachers in a row, In the end, no one wanted to come to Liu's family to teach him, so Liu Chengwen gave up Liu Yongqing completely. Liu Yongqing's paintings are a school of his own. They look very casual and fluent. However, the teachers who teach him always set a framework for him not to surpass, which makes Liu Yongqing feel constrained. That's why he doesn't like them. Originally, Liu Yongqing didn't care to show himself in front of Lao zhangtou. However, when he saw that Lao zhangtou looked down on people, Liu Yongqing felt angry. Then he spread out the paper in Lao zhangtou's yard, took out the pen and ink, closed his eyes and thought about it. Then he began to draw on the paper.
