The aunties looked at Yan Bugui's arrogant look, and they stamped their feet in anger and regret!
What makes me stomp my feet is that this couplet only costs ten cents to write, so I can't waste it and just use it in a makeshift way.
Unfortunately, there is no way to go to Liu Xiaojun’s stall to buy “high-quality couplets”!
Looking at the expressions of these aunts, the third uncle was heartbroken.
He just wants to make some money, it's not easy for him.
This Liu Xiaojun is really causing a lot of harm to others!
From now on, with Liu Xiaojun around, who would come to him to buy couplets?
Stop talking about it, I'm so angry!
Liu Haizhong lived in the backyard. He took the "Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl" couplet written by Liu Xiaojun and walked around the courtyard for a long time before returning home.
Soon, the news that Liu Xiaojun could write the "Double Fish Playing with a Pearl" couplet spread throughout the courtyard.
Everyone is lining up to buy it!
Even the people from the courtyard next door heard about it and rushed over to buy it, fearing that they would miss out if they were too late.
The third uncle looked at the long queue of people waiting for Liu Xiaojun, while there was no one on his side. He almost got choked with anger!
"No, it's freezing here. It's so cold standing outside waiting. It's great to come to Uncle Sanda to buy couplets without having to queue up."
The third uncle was still trying his best to keep them, but no one paid any attention to him.
"Third uncle, please take a break. This couplet written by Xiaojun is really good at attracting fish. It might even bring you fish every year!"
Nowadays, most people are not well educated and don’t understand the meaning of “abundance every year”, but since there is a fish painted on it, it’s not a bad thing no matter how you interpret it.
"Oh no!" The third uncle looked at the expressions of the aunts and was completely at a loss.
However, by five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Xiaojun had had enough fun and saw the line behind him getting longer and longer, so he said.
"No need to queue up for the rest of the day. That's all for today. I'm going back to have dinner."
I said I was going to have dinner, but my hands were simply tired.
The couplets cost 1.5 cents a pair. After working on them for an entire afternoon, he only made a little over three dollars. He could just sell a rabbit and come back home. There was no need for him to spend so much time writing them.
When the Third Uncle heard this, he instantly stood up and said excitedly:
"Aunties, Liu Xiaojun doesn't write anymore, so I'll write it. I can sell it cheaper than him."
But no one paid any attention to him. Instead, they pulled Liu Xiaojun with an anxious look on their faces.
"Xiaojun, can you still write it tomorrow? What time will you write it tomorrow? Can we still buy it?"
Liu Xiaojun: "It depends on the situation, see if there is anything to do."
That being said, Liu Xiaojun actually didn't want to come.
The aunties were so enthusiastic that they all gathered around to buy couplets, which kept him busy all afternoon.
But judging from the situation, if he said he wouldn't come tomorrow, these aunties would definitely hold him back and not let him leave.
Didn't he lie because he had no choice?
"Ah..." The aunties looked disappointed when they heard the uncertainty.
They also want to use the "superior couplets" of the courtyard house!
If you use "high-quality couplets", it will be so prestigious when you visit relatives during the New Year!
soon.
Those who didn’t get in line went back with disappointment on their faces, while those who bought the tickets had beaming faces, as happy as if they had eaten delicious fish and meat!
Liu Xiaojun was carrying a stool and preparing to leave when the third uncle said attentively:
"Xiaojun, why don't you not come tomorrow? Uncle Sanda will lose all his business if you come."
"That depends on my mood." Liu Xiaojun still looked uncertain.
In fact, he has already decided to go fishing tomorrow.
The Chinese New Year is just two days away. According to custom, we should buy a fish and put it on the table as a sacrifice, right?
Besides, I haven’t eaten the pickled fish made by Sha Zhu for a long time, I miss it so much!
While fishing, you can also secretly go to the black market and slowly sell the melted gold beans.
When you have enough money at the beginning of the new year, you can take advantage of the chaos to buy a shop!
The third uncle was about to cry. If Liu Xiaojun came again tomorrow, his couplet business would probably be over!
Knowing that Liu Xiaojun had been staring at the potted plants in front of the door for a long time, the third uncle gritted his teeth and said:
"Xiaojun, let's put it this way. The New Year is almost here, and you don't have any suitable potted plants at your doorstep. So don't come tomorrow. Uncle San will give you a potted plant, okay?"
