Turning around, Liu Xiaojun also set up a stall at the door facing the third uncle.
The third uncle’s style was “whatever he could find was good”, while Liu Xiaojun hadn’t practiced calligraphy for a long time and his hands were itching to do so.
Anyway, I've been so idle these days that I feel like my whole body is aching, so I set up a small stall and wrote couplets to kill time.
It’s just that the third uncle is unhappy.
Uncle Three: "Xiaojun, what are you doing?"
It was just after lunch and the sun was shining brightly in front of the courtyard.
"Can't you tell? I'm writing couplets just like you!" Liu Xiaojun said as he took a bite of the white flour that Liu Huizhen had steamed for him at noon.
Yi Zhonghai also came out at this time. He hadn't bought couplets for his home yet, so he planned to find an old man to buy a pair.
Seeing two people setting up a stall facing each other at the door, he was also stunned.
"You can also write couplets?" Yi Zhonghai wondered.
This was the first time Yi Zhonghai spoke to him since Liu Xiaojun put Jia Dongxu's family in jail.
"Yes, Uncle Yi, do you want to buy it? Look at my mouth, I almost forgot that you are not an uncle anymore. Uncle Yi, do you want to buy it?"
Liu Xiaojun: "My couplet is more expensive than Uncle Sanda's. He sells it for ten cents, and I sell it for ten thousand cents!"
Uncle San: More expensive than mine???
The wrinkles on the old face are all wrinkled:
"No, why? Are you going against me?"
"Can you come if you can read?"
The third uncle was feeling miserable. He had just earned back the money he earned from the pork ribs and was looking for a few more cents. Why did Liu Xiaojun come to cause trouble?
At this time, another group of aunts who wanted to buy couplets came over.
He was surprised to see that both stalls were selling couplets, but he chose to buy from the third uncle first and was not very optimistic about Liu Xiaojun.
After all, everyone in the compound knew that Liu Xiaojun had never been to school and might not even know how to read, so how could he write couplets?
The second uncle had just come out at this time and completely missed the conversation between Liu Xiaojun and Uncle Yi.
"Hey, Xiaojun, you can also write couplets?"
Xiaojun: "Yeah, Uncle Er, would you like a bowl?"
The second uncle glanced at Yi Zhonghai, and seeing that Yi Zhonghai had no intention of buying couplets from Liu Xiaojun, he turned around and came to Liu Xiaojun.
It’s not that I think Liu Xiaojun can really write couplets. This guy has never been to school, so he can’t write couplets at all.
It was simply that he had indirectly gained the upper hand in the recent dispute with Yi Zhonghai's uncles, and he didn't want to make the same choice as Yi Zhonghai.
He decided to buy from Liu Xiaojun. Liu Xiaojun was not as good at writing as the third uncle, but the price would definitely be cheaper. He could probably buy something else with the money he saved!
Liu Xiaojun didn't care at all. He wasn't doing it for the money, but he wouldn't mind having too much money. The main thing was that it was fun to compete with the third uncle, Grandet, for business!
He had seen the handwriting of the third uncle and thought it was just acceptable.
But the lv.3 calligraphy he obtained after years of hard study with his grandfather and countless beatings he received was definitely not comparable.
Moreover, he can also draw the picture of two fish playing with pearls on the couplet!
This one totally beats Uncle Three!
The second uncle asked proudly:
"Xiaojun, give me a couplet. How much is one?"
Liu Xiaojun: "15 cents!"
The second uncle who originally wanted to save some money: ...
"No, how come yours is more expensive than Uncle Three's?"
The third uncle said: "Second uncle, it's not too late to regret and come to me to buy it."
Upon hearing the price, the aunties who had just chosen to have their couplets written by the third uncle also smiled happily.
This wave is not a loss, fortunately I didn’t go to Liu Xiaojun to buy it.
Not to mention how well it is written, the price has no advantage.
One by one, they paid the money to the third uncle.
Second Master Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and said:
"No need. If you say you want to write it here, then write it here."
As he said that, he took out 15 cents and gave it to Liu Xiaojun.
"Okay, I'll write it for you right away." Liu Xiaojun became excited after taking the money.
Seeing this, the third uncle stopped writing the couplet and ran over to stare at Liu Xiaojun while he was writing it.
This brat is just a pig with a green onion in his nose and is pretending to be stupid. He wants to expose Liu Xiaojun's evil deeds!
The third uncle stopped writing, and the aunts gathered around to watch Liu Xiaojun write the couplets.
Even the silent Yi Zhonghai quietly followed the crowd and glanced at them from the corner of his eyes.
He didn't believe that Liu Xiaojun could write anything anyway, he was just putting on an act.
here we go.
Liu Xiaojun's writing skills are as majestic as those of a dragon or a phoenix, and his brushwork is so powerful.
This one move alone stunned some people, and everyone held their breath for fear of interrupting Liu Xiaojun.
Until everyone saw the pattern on the red paper, their faces changed...
