Chapter 44 第44章 small cart 小推车 „Cannot sell Ah…...” “卖不出去啊……” The East is not bright, Nie Yunzhu sits on the stair before small building, holding the chin somewhat to say worriedly. 东方未明,聂云竹坐在小楼前的台阶上,托着下巴有些苦恼地说着。 „Couple days ago also like Young Master Ning said that looked nearby several Alehouse Manager, however they said that beforehand no one ate this, selling was also expensive, did not give to put on their counter to sell.” “前几天也像宁公子说的那样,去找了附近几家酒楼的管事啦,可是他们说以前没人吃这个,卖得也太贵了,不给放到他们柜台上卖。” This year after all productive forces are insufficient, rice flour miscellaneous grains and so on food is the concept of appeasing hunger, the price is but actually cheaper, the meats egg class then somewhat sells expensively, according to proportion, if a two writing money fried cake can regard as one dollar of money Renminbi, ten writing money salted egg is five one, but Century Egg sells at the suggestion of Ning Yi to 20 articles, this already was close to the luxury the significance. In this well-off families eat the meat to eat the egg in occasionally this time of the month(year), this kind of thing nature is difficult to sell. 这年头毕竟生产力不足,米面杂粮之类的食品属于充饥的概念,价格倒便宜些,肉类蛋类便卖得有些贵,按照比例来说,如果两文钱一只的煎饼可以视为一块钱人民币,十文钱的咸蛋便是五块一只,而松花蛋在宁毅的建议下卖到二十文,这已经接近奢侈品的意义了。在这个小康人家才偶尔吃肉吃蛋的年月里,这类东西自然难卖。 Naturally, the Jiangning rich person is many, discussed by the brothel, the quite red miss, passing through the gate three —— was also 32 silvers and 3000 article —— dances plays an instrument and sings three, went to bed three, one time was altogether nine, 4500 money one times. Sold into servitude miss price high naturally extreme exception, if not sell into servitude, such as Yuan Jin'er, Lu Caicai and Qilan, beforehand Nie Yunzhu and the others, that is higher, this does not have a definition on the contrary, but an important goods person is waiting for putting up the cash in any case, if you are mean-spirited, the gate has not resulted, passes through the gate also mean-spiritedly, next time naturally not bird you. Helps brothers like Su Tan'er that each time error dozens two money from her hand, placing ordinary families already is great sum of money one, but really must go sufficient lavish, shouted a class of pack of scoundrels , the 1-2 times was things. 当然,江宁一带富人还是很多的,以青楼而论,比较红的姑娘,进门三贯——也就是32银、三千文——歌舞弹唱三贯,上床三贯,也就是一次一共九贯,四千五百块钱一次。卖身的姑娘价格再高的那是极端例外了,若是不卖身的,如元锦儿、陆采采、绮兰,以前的聂云竹等人,那就更加高,这个反倒没个限定,但横竖一大帮人等着砸钱,你若小气,门也没得进,进了门还小气的,下次自然不鸟你。如同苏檀儿的那帮兄弟每次从她手上讹个几十两银子,放在普通人家已经是巨款一笔,但真要去充充阔气,呼一班狐朋狗友,也就是1-2的事情。 Is willing to spend the person who 9000 articles look for the miss to be not necessarily willing in the roadside booth to eat 20 articles Century Egg, but at least showed, this purchasing power has in Jiangning. 肯花九千文找姑娘的人未必肯在路边摊上吃二十文的松花蛋,但至少证明,这份购买力在江宁还是有的。 To sell the prices of 20 articles, must find some neighbor quite upscale places, famous teahouse Alehouse, making them help the sale on commission. But this after all is the new thing, you said that I sell egg 20 article one , helping, others do not make the charity, before Nie Yunzhu, various types of talent and skill natures are fierce, the person attractively can be the talented woman, but these abilities naturally cannot attain the discussion business that follows a prescribed pattern, these 20 article salted egg sales on commission, have not discussed on the contrary. Two Alehouse Manager simply had not talked to her, sees her actually to come out to sell the fried cake attractively, wants to raise a rumpus, she then left directly. 想要把二十文的价钱卖出去,就得找一些附近的比较高档的地方,出名的茶楼酒楼,让他们帮忙寄卖。但这毕竟是新事物,你说我卖个蛋二十文一只,帮帮忙,人家也不是做慈善的,聂云竹以前各种才艺自然厉害,人长得漂亮又算得上才女,但这些本领自然拿不到一板一眼的谈生意上来,这二十文一只的咸蛋寄卖,反倒没有谈成。有两个酒楼管事根本没怎么跟她谈,也有一个见她漂亮却出来卖煎饼的,想要动手动脚,她便直接走掉了。 This regarding wants to get out of the beforehand status wholeheartedly, Nie Yunzhu that such as the average person makes money to live generally diligently, naturally is also an attack. However her temper is also stubborn, if the average person meets this kind of affair, feared that will consider no longer to sell the preserved egg, but cannot see the such plan in her here unexpectedly. Ning Yi runs at this time sweat profusely, in the hand took a copper coin to play, soon after smiled: „Said, recently unexpectedly made a bet, said that this Century Egg one month can sell.” 这对于一心想要摆脱以前身份,如普通人一般努力赚钱生活的聂云竹来说,自然也是一个打击。不过她性子也犟,一般人若遇上这样的事情,怕是会考虑不再卖皮蛋,但在她这里倒是看不到这样的打算。宁毅此时一路跑得大汗淋漓,手上拿了一只铜板在玩,随后笑了笑:“说起来,最近倒是跟人打了个赌,说这松花蛋一个月就能卖开。” „Sells?” “卖开？” „Um, at least must sell 20-30 every day.” “嗯,每天至少得卖上20-30个吧。” „...... Uh.” Nie Yunzhu pondered, soon after smiles, „I will try hard to sell to 30, actually...... could entrust to one batch to Goldwind House......” “……呃。”聂云竹想了想,随后笑起来,“我会努力卖到三十只的啦,其实……说不定可以寄放一批到金风楼……” Nie Yunzhu hesitant said these words obviously some little time, the matter that this time in the heart thinks thinks with Ning Yi obvious different. In her opinion, Ning Yi this person good, is individualistic humorous charming great talent, but is generally of no concern to with doing business. He invents this Century Egg now, holding oneself to help sell, perhaps praised the mouth, this is the way things should be, oneself cannot sell so many, he then must lose face. If is not really no means that she will not consider Goldwind House probably again. Although the building mother observes the contract, has not had forces her anything again, but really must say that is kindhearted person that also not necessarily, does not owe debt of thanks well, but in any event, uses the such relations, probably was also the only means that she can think at this time. 聂云竹显然犹豫了好一会儿才说出这句话,她此时心中想的事情跟宁毅想的显然不一样。在她看来,宁毅这人性格好,又是个特立独行幽默风趣的大才子,但与经商大抵是无涉的。他如今发明了这松花蛋,托自己帮忙卖,或许是与人夸了口,这也是人之常情,自己卖不出这么多,他便得丢面子。若非是实在没什么办法,她大概也不会再去考虑金风楼。楼里的妈妈虽说遵守契约,未有再逼迫她什么,但真要说是个良善人那也未必,欠了人情不好还,但无论如何,动用这样的关系,大概也是她此时能想到的唯一办法了。 Ning Yi hear of she mentioned Goldwind House, faint stares staring, soon after understood: „Does not use such.” He shakes the head, the soon after finger/refers that stopped the small cart shed, „at noon today sooner quits work, packs the vehicle, now like this too simple, could not sell 20 articles.” 宁毅听她说起金风楼,微微愣了愣,随后才明白过来:“不用这样的。”他摇了摇头,随后指指那停了小推车的棚子,“今天中午早些收摊吧,把车子包装一下,现在这样子太简单了,卖不出二十文。” „Packing?” “包装？” „Uh...... then decorates at will.” “呃……便是随意装饰一下。” Nie Yunzhu nods, expressed by the vision of doubts...... 聂云竹点点头,以疑惑的目光表示懂了…… Is on vacation from school by noon, Ning Yi the county fair ate meal in the past, soon after bought the assorted paint, the big and small writing brush and brush to come toward Nie Yunzhu, Nie Yunzhu only knows that he must do. In the afternoon washes cleanly that car, Ning Yi made a simple composition with the chalk, after estimating one, just now moved a low stool to sit down to take up the pen. 到得中午放学,宁毅过去市集吃饭,随后买了各色油漆、大小毛笔、刷子往聂云竹这边过来,聂云竹这才知道他要干嘛。下午将那小车洗干净,宁毅用粉笔做了一番简单构图,揣摩一阵之后,方才搬了张矮凳坐下动笔。 Nie Yunzhu did not have the means to help at this time, but squatted in side occasionally looked at one, when returns the room saw Hutao (walnut), Hutao (walnut) said: „Does Young Master Ning want to paint to sell Century Egg on the car?” 聂云竹这时候也没办法帮忙,只是偶尔在旁边蹲了看一阵,回房看见胡桃时,胡桃说道:“宁公子是想要在小车上作画来卖松花蛋？” „To be so.” “想是如此了。” „however, the paint can draw to draw......” “可是,油漆能画好画么……” „Many lacquerwares, do not paint by the paint, Young Master Ning...... wants to come also to browse in this field of endeavor......” “诸多漆器,不也是以漆作画,宁公子……想来于此道也有所涉猎……” Nie Yunzhu faint somewhat was actually worried, four arts are elegant studying, Ning Yi painter essence not fine unexpectedly regard as another matter, can his present reputation, paint on this small cart only to sell that Century Egg unexpectedly, if were known, feared that annoys to censure to him, more is draws well, this risk feared that is bigger. 聂云竹其实微微有些担心,琴棋书画乃风雅之学,宁毅画工精不精倒是另当别论,可以他如今的名声,在这种小推车上作画竟然只为卖那松花蛋,若被人知晓,怕又给他惹来非议,越是画得好,这风险怕就越大。 On the other hand, Hutao (walnut) is actually not happy, she is being Young Lady has been being worried recently. Since the day of the evening of the lantern festival confirmed with the Ning Yi that Young Lady communicated is that 1st talent, and really after having the scholarship, her worry is increasing day by day. Her, no doubt also wants to get married with Er Niu (two cows) sooner, but Young Lady no home to return to, she did not feel relieved. Now Young Lady as if there is favorable impression to this person, but this is anything, like such that Young Lady said: Could not marry. 另一方面,胡桃的情绪其实也不好,她最近一直在为小姐担心着。自从元夕那天确认了与小姐来往的这位宁毅便是那第一才子,并且真有才学之后,她的担心就在与日俱增。在她来说,固然也想早些与二牛成亲,但小姐没个归宿,她就根本不放心。如今小姐对这人似乎有了好感,可这算是什么事情,如同小姐说的那样:嫁不了的。 The opposite party status is live-in son-in-law, Young Lady then likes him, will not have the result, that person of talent is higher, Young Lady feared that falls deeply, could not like others on the contrary, the Su Family situation was big, if opposite party wife once knew this matter, walking, oneself here may what's to be done be good, so thinks, even more worried. 对方身份是一赘婿,小姐便是喜欢他,也根本不会有结果,那人才华越高,小姐怕就陷得越深,反倒喜欢不了别人,苏家家大势大,若对方妻子一旦知晓此事,找上门来,自己这边可怎么办才好,如此想想,愈发着急了。 Midway Ning Yi also called one time Nie Yunzhu, asked that this stall should ask „Nie record” to call „Zhu's” to well, Nie Yunzhu thinks, chose Zhu's. 中途宁毅也将聂云竹叫出去过一次,问她这小摊该叫“聂记”还是叫“竹记”为好,聂云竹想想,选了竹记。 At dusk, the sunset glow shines from one side of Qinhuai River curve, the decoration of car also finished finally. When Nie Yunzhu looked in the past, somewhat dumbfounded feeling: The style of this picture, she has never seen! 到得傍晚时分,晚霞从秦淮河弯道的一侧照射过来,小车的装饰也终于是完工了。聂云竹过去看时,有些目瞪口呆的感觉:这画的风格,她从未见过！ It is not the picture is too bad, but is the picture is good, is too strange. On vehicle that painting composition, three-dimensional. 不是画太差,而是画太好,太离奇。车上那画作的构图,是立体的。 This year had the paint, naturally can also have the design styles of various types of lacquerwares, or exquisite or rough, but the present car, actually absolutely is alone one of the entire time. Drawing actually simple, but after is several bamboos are symbolizing the rain , a bamboo forest corner/horn, hidden Yi in the middle of mist, one side drew a preserved egg to be cut open four petals the scenes, unexpectedly is not lifelike. „Zhu's Preserved Eggs” several characters fluctuate the —— however drawing in the picture three-dimensional. 这年头有了油漆,自然也能有各种漆器的图案风格,或细腻或粗犷,但眼前的这辆小车,却绝对是整个时代的独一份。图画其实简单,不过是几棵竹子象征着雨后竹林的一角,隐逸在一片雾气当中,一侧画出了一颗皮蛋被切开四瓣的情景,倒是算不上多么栩栩如生。“竹记松花蛋”几个字浮动在画面上——然而图画是立体的。 Regarding Ning Yi, is only simple technique, controls some drawing each proportions does not achieve the bamboo forest insertion field of vision balanced the effect, „Zhu's Preserved Eggs” these five characters are coordinating the shadow of fluctuation, one type crashes the effect in the mist or fluttering, but that preserved egg draws barely satisfactory, suddenly with very attractive appropriate color, therefore can only make it look like as far as possible attractive little. Because the paint mix can seem fuzzy, Ning Yi added on the clear black line in the edges of different several types of design carefully, this instead obviously creates the conflict and stereoscopic effect. If this car pushes out, can the earliest possible time attract the attention of passer-by absolutely. Moreover it is different from the mainstream painting, others only think that is minor path that the merchant wants to come out, but will not think that is such and such picture scroll of talent careful plan. 对于宁毅来说,只是简单的手法,控制图画各个部分比例的不均衡来达到竹林插入视野的效果,“竹记松花蛋”这五个字配合着浮动的影子,有一种在雾气中坠落或是飘荡的效果,只是那只皮蛋画得差强人意,一时间配不出很漂亮贴切的颜色,因此只能让它看来了尽量漂亮一点点。由于油漆混合会显得模糊,宁毅在不同的几样图案的边缘都仔细加上了清晰的黑色线条,这样反而更加明显地造成冲突和立体感。这小车若是推出去,绝对能第一时间吸引住路人的眼球。而且它与主流的画作不同,旁人只会以为是商人想出来的小道,而不会觉得是某某才子精心绘制的画卷。 The condition is limited, but looks at opposite party that surprised appearance, generally speaking, Ning Yi satisfies about the achievement. Remembered the strange taste of Ning Yi to music probably, Nie Yunzhu said: „Liheng to painting, unexpectedly is also such...... Uh, so strange, this style, Yunzhu had never seen in the past, may seem like must grow simply general from the car(riage) wall......” 条件有限,不过看着对方那一脸惊讶的样子,总的来说,宁毅对成果还是满意的。大概是想起了宁毅对音乐的古怪品味,聂云竹道:“立恒对作画,竟也是如此的……呃,如此的奇怪,这风格,以往云竹从未见过,可简直像是要从车壁上生长出来一般……” Drawing type of thing, if walks the practical point style, the first impulse is simple. This and taste of music is different. Nie Yunzhu wants to put out a hand to touch that pillar simply, Ning Yi stops by calling out her with a smile, soon after finger/refers above rain awning. 图画这种东西,如果走写实一点的风格,第一眼的冲击力是简简单单的。这与音乐的品味不同。聂云竹简直想要伸出手去摸那柱子,宁毅才笑着叫住她,随后指指上方雨篷。 „Wet paint, may be unable to bump. The above rain awning should remodel, tomorrow I will buy. The these days wet paint, you cannot do business, Uh...... we need to prepare something, the attractive small dishes, various types of sauce spice, vinegars and tofu, the way of eating are many and varied, seemingly wants cleanly attractive, Um, this is first step......” Ning Yi is calculating, „these things complete, solves these Alehouse incorrigibly obstinate problems again......” “油漆未干,可碰不得。上面的雨篷该换个样子了,明天我会去买来。这几天油漆未干,你也做不了生意,呃……我们需要准备一些东西,漂亮的小碗碟,各种酱料作料、醋、豆腐,吃法多种多样,看起来要干净漂亮,嗯,这是第一步……”宁毅计算着,“这些事情做完,再来解决那些酒楼顽固不化的问题……” Afternoon over the following several days, matter is done routinely, the attractive dishes, purchase various types of sauces, matches various ways of eating. Ning Yi comes every afternoon, Nie Yunzhu also seems happy, is only Hutao (walnut) is unhappy, by evening's time complained with Young Lady: „Young Lady, purchases these things not worth it radically......” 接下来几天的下午,事情按部就班地做着,漂亮的碗碟,采购各种酱料,搭配各种吃法。宁毅每日下午过来,聂云竹也显得高兴,只是胡桃不开心,到得晚上的时候跟小姐抱怨一番:“小姐,采购那些东西根本划不来的……” Ning Yi choice is very attractive dishes, in the average person eyes, the usability is not big, the price is also expensive, although these thing half are Ning Yi disburse money, said that is calculates to do to invest, but seems like in Hutao (walnut), this is also not meaningful. The money in family/home were not many, accumulates the point to use, Young Lady can also use but actually good some time, but this, is that Ning Yi is taking for granted now simply spends randomly, but Young Lady is not willing to resist, can only follow, when the time comes that Young Master Ning does not care about the waste money, Young Lady can what kind of, how could it not be also to spend the final net worth. 宁毅选择的都是很漂亮的碗碟,在普通人眼中,实用性不大,价格也贵,虽说这些东西一半都是宁毅出钱,说是算做入股,但在胡桃看起来,这也没什么意义。家中的钱本就不多了,攒着点用,小姐倒还能用上好一段时间,但现在这样,简直就是那宁毅在想当然地乱花钱,而小姐不愿意推拒,只能跟着走,到时候那宁公子不在乎浪费钱,小姐能怎么样,岂不把最后的身家也花掉了。 „Wanted Hutao (walnut) saying that Young Master Ning scholarship was very definitely fierce, this was great. But he not necessarily understands doing business, we suspend stall nothing more, where has so many to be tasteful, Young Lady, you cannot accompany him to deliberately create trouble! We cannot deliberately create trouble......” “要胡桃说,那个宁公子才学肯定很厉害,这个是没得说了。可他未必懂经商啊,咱们不过摆个小摊而已,哪有这么多讲究的,小姐,你不能陪着他胡闹了！咱们胡闹不起的……” „Young Master Ning has the person who really studies, he such being the case is self-confident, I naturally then believe him, has not arrived finally, how Hutao (walnut) do you know him not to have the means?” Actually Nie Yunzhu in the heart also lacks self-confidence, but, naturally also can only say to Hutao (walnut) like this. “宁公子是有真才学的人,他既然如此自信,我自然便相信他,未到最后,胡桃你又怎知他没有办法？”其实聂云竹心中也没什么底,不过,自然也只能对胡桃这样说。 „Has person Young Lady of talent study also little to see?” The Hutao (walnut) rebuttal said, „scholarship is the scholarship, doing business does business, these have the person not also in the same old way gambling ruined family of talent study, to finally penniless. Although Hutao (walnut) does not understand, but looked a lot, on the avenue so many swayed stalls, were this appearance, these big Alehouse, or the brothel, was different. Young Lady, that Young Master Ning marries into the wife's household the family/home of merchant, heard that his wife is very fierce in Su Family Manager, perhaps he cannot swallow this tone, with Young Lady comes, when experiments......” “有才学的人小姐见得还少吗？”胡桃反驳道,“才学是才学,做生意是做生意,那些有才学的人不也照样赌钱败家,到最后一文不名的。胡桃虽然不懂,但看得多了,大街上那么多摆小摊的,都是这个样子,那些大酒楼、或者青楼,根本不一样的。小姐,那宁公子入赘商贾之家,听说他的妻子在苏家管事很厉害,说不定他就是咽不下这口气,拿小姐来当试验……” „Shut up!” The Nie Yunzhu vision congealed, interrupted her speech. “闭嘴！”聂云竹目光一凝,打断了她的说话。 Hutao (walnut) stands there is pursing the lips for a long time, the tears tumbled from the eye, soon after clenched teeth, sobs saying: „Young Lady you also know that you could not marry Young Master Ning, if Young Lady married, that Hutao (walnut) also on didn't say......” 胡桃站在那儿抿着嘴好久,泪水自眼睛里滚落下来了,随后才咬咬牙,哽咽说道:“小姐你也知道的,你嫁不了宁公子的,小姐若嫁得了,那胡桃也就不说了……” This saying said that in room peaceful for a long time does not have the sound, Nie Yunzhu to sit in the bedside, is leaning on nearby bed frame, the vision changes occasionally, crossed for a long time, the lamplight drags, she made an effort to close the eye: „I know when......” opens again, faint smiled. 这话说完,房间里安安静静的好久都没有声音,聂云竹坐在床边,倚靠着旁边的床框,目光偶尔变动一下,过了好久,灯影摇曳一下,她才用力闭上了眼睛:“我知道的……”再睁开时,微微笑了笑。 „Hutao (walnut) you also rest, not early......” “胡桃你也去睡吧,不早了……”
