Chapter 155
For this price, Chen Huiyin had no obvious mood swings in his heart. This Helan inkstone is as famous as Duan inkstone. Duan inkstones on the market are hard to find for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the shopkeeper will accept Helan inkstone to show that he knows the goods.
And her original intention was to make He Lanyan famous, so she and Tang Yaoling made such a painstaking design.
But she frowned on purpose, and said softly: "This is not a famous inkstone, although it looks better and the ink it grinds is not bad, but the price is still on the high side."
In fact, the psychological price of the shopkeeper is around 20 taels. Although the quality of this inkstone is as good as that of two inkstones, this inkstone is not well-known after all. Before it became famous, 20 taels was considered a sky-high price.
He deliberately quoted a higher price, so that there is room for counter-offering.
Therefore, after hearing Chen Huiyin's words, the shopkeeper immediately responded with a smile: "Little lady, look at the quality of this inkstone, it will never lose to Duan inkstone and She inkstone, and this exquisite appearance, 30 taels is really not expensive."
Chen Huiyin showed a tangled look, hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Shopkeeper, is this inkstone really worthless?"
The shopkeeper deliberately looked embarrassed. At this time, Ding Minhui got up and came to Chen Huiyin's side, and introduced herself with a smile: "Little lady, this shop is mine. My surname is Ding."
"Boss Ding, then this inkstone..." Chen Huiyin didn't say what was left, but Boss Ding naturally knew after listening to the whole process.
Ding Minhui smiled, stretched out his hand to pick up the small landscape painting, and after appreciating it carefully, he said: "The little lady is really skilled in ink and wash landscape painting. This painting method has never been seen before. It is a painting created by the little lady." law?"
Like a little girl who doesn't know much about the world, Chen Huiyin proudly puffed out her well-developed chest, and said with a reserved expression, "Yes, this painting method is my original creation, it's just luck."
Ding Minhui looked at the little girl in front of her, and said with a pleasant smile: "I have also drawn since elementary school, but unfortunately my talent is mediocre. Can my little lady give me this painting? Besides this inkstone, there are also paper, pen, and ink. I gathered a whole set and gave it to you as a thank you gift."
Chen Huiyin shook her head and said, "That's not okay, this painting was just drawn by me casually, it's too impolite to give it to Boss Ding."
Ding Minhui smiled and asked: "Although my talent for painting is mediocre, my appreciation ability is not bad. This painting was drawn by a young lady at will, and this is what I like. As long as it is not a useless painting, how can you give it to me?" Will you be rude?"
"Uh..." Chen Huiyin was speechless.
Ding Minhui hurriedly gave the shopkeeper a wink, and the shopkeeper fetched the brocade box with great eyesight, packed the inkstone, and the best paper, pen, and ink in the shop, and handed it to Chen Huiyin.
At this point, it would be hypocritical to refuse, so Chen Huiyin took the brocade box and said to Ding Minhui, "Thank you, Boss Ding, then I will leave."
Ding Minhui smiled and said: "You don't have to thank me. Speaking of which, I took advantage of it. When the young lady becomes famous all over the world, the landscape painting you gave me will be the treasure of my shop."
After saying this, the two also arrived at the door of the shop. Chen Huiyin saw that Mrs. Ding guessed that she had signed up for the calligraphy, painting and poetry competition, and smiled at Ding Minhui, "Then borrow Boss Ding's auspicious words." Then she strode away
The shopkeeper then also came to the door, saw Chen Huiyin's figure disappearing into the crowd, and then said, "Boss, did you notice something?"
Ding Minhui smiled and said: "This little lady appeared in Dongdu at this time, presumably for the calligraphy, painting and poetry competition on the ninth day of September. With her talent, she is expected to win the first prize. By then, her paintings, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones she used will will get attention, so we took a huge advantage of her."
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I will have time later, and I will frame the painting myself, and I will put away the remaining four inkstones for now, and wait for the results of the calligraphy, painting and poetry contest to come out again." put it out."
Ding Minhui smiled reassuringly when she heard the words, and confessed again: "The inkstone is billed at 30 taels, and it's my private account." After speaking, she turned and entered the backyard, and left through the back door.
On the other side, Chen Huiyin came to the agreed inn with her things in her hands, reported Tang Yaoling's name, and found them soon after learning the room number.
The three looked at the big brocade box in Chen Huiyin's hand, and it was still Wei Chen who spoke first: "Sister Qiao, why don't you just buy an inkstone, why did you get such a big brocade box?"
Tang Yaoling had already taken the brocade box from Chen Huiyin and put it on the table, and at the same time said with some self-blame: "I'm careless, I should pick you up after taking off my makeup, such a heavy brocade box, you must carry it all the way back, and your arms must be very heavy." It hurts a lot, let me press it for you."
Chen Huiyin waved her hand boyishly: "It's okay, people who practice martial arts are not so delicate."
Mu Yang and Wei Chen saw that Tang Yaoling withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and looked depressed because of Chen Huiyin's "incomprehensible style", they both lowered their heads and held back their laughter.
Chen Huiyin didn't notice this, and happily opened the brocade box, explaining: "In Ding's shop, I drew a small landscape picture with the ink ground by the Helan inkstone. Ding saw it, and she left it behind. That painting, these are the return gifts."
After listening to the explanation, Tang Yaoling sighed and said: "This Ding family is so powerful. From a painting, I guessed that you participated in the calligraphy, painting and poetry competition, and also gave you the top-quality paper, pens and inks from your store. You, if you become famous in the competition after this, her shop will also become famous.
But the shopkeeper of that store is a nice person, and this win-win situation is beneficial to both of us. "
Chen Huiyin nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Dalang, how did you talk with the shopkeeper? He sold me this inkstone for 30 taels of silver."
Hearing this, Tang Yaoling couldn't help laughing and said, "Sure enough, he still has the potential of a profiteer.
At the beginning, he proposed the purchase price of twelve taels and one inkstone. After I refused, he offered to sell it on consignment. He also agreed very readily, and revealed to me the intention of long-term cooperation in the future. I think he is good. After all, in terms of price, he did not cheat. I gave it fairly, so I verbally agreed to him. "
Chen Huiyin nodded in agreement, and asked him again: "Did Mu Yang and Wei Chen tell you that we will go to Perfect Building for dinner tonight?"
Tang Yaoling nodded and asked: "Say, then let's go out now, go shopping first and then go to the Perfect Building, or should you go back to your room to rest for a while, and it's almost dinner time, let's go directly to the Perfect Building?"
"Let's go now. I'm full of energy and I'm not tired at all. You wait for me. I'll go back to my room to put things away." Chen Huiyin put the paper, pen and ink back into the brocade box, closed the box, and hugged the brocade box to go into her room next door.
But she didn't put anything in the guest room, she only left an empty brocade box outside, and she took all the things in the brocade box into the space.
