Chapter 183 Xia Country's Most Serious Amateur Team Opens for Business
Everyone quickly walked to a stone arch bridge. The bridge was bustling with people, and there were many people setting up stalls on the roadside on both sides.
A young man was selling wood carvings. The carving knife in his hand jumped between his nimble fingers, and wood chips fell gently with every cut.
A girl accompanied a mother-in-law to sell embroidery products, including quilt covers and handkerchiefs, embroidered with landscapes, flowers and birds. The embroidery looked exquisite and colorful.
There are also scholars who write letters for others, aunties who sell snacks, and old people who sell fresh vegetables and fruits...
The cries of vendors, the bargaining of customers, and the laughter of children chasing and playing all intertwine together to form a vivid scene of the market.
Gu Zhanghua was amazed.
"With so many people setting up stalls, if we don't show some real skills, we might not be able to do any business!"
Zhao Xuan raised her hand and patted Gu Zhanghua on the shoulder.
"You've never made money before, right? Try it yourself and you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment. I'm rooting for you!"
Can he say he doesn't want to experience a sense of accomplishment?
Gu Zhanghua was holding a stool borrowed from a bookstore, and he felt a little embarrassed thinking that he would have to squat on the ground and paint on the stool.
He was the sage king of the Great Xia Kingdom. Did he have to paint for others like that scholar? He was not even as good as that scholar. At least he had a table and a chair.
But could he not work? The other four people were all getting something for nothing, but he was the only one who spent a tael of silver to buy painting supplies.
How am I going to explain to these four people when I spend money even though I don’t make any money?
Gu Zhanghua was struggling with his conscience here, and Hao Xiong took a fancy to a piece of vacant grassland.
"I think this place is quite suitable! Little Medical Fairy, quickly show the sign!"
The Little Medical Fairy turned around silently and revealed the sign on the medicine box.
She lowered her head and shrunk her neck, trying her best to make her presence felt, but a few passers-by were still attracted by the sign she was carrying and stopped to gather in front of Xiao Yixiang.
One person pointed at the sign written in black and white and laughed.
"One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain and hunt the tiger. The tiger isn't home, so hunt the little mouse!"
Another person then said: "This girl is a white-haired mouse!"
Another person laughed: "You know what, it really looks like him! He's covered in white hair, and his two buns look like ears!"
Little Doctor Fairy: Holy shit! Where are you?! Come out now so I can get in!
Several passersby heard the three people joking and laughing, and gathered around curiously.
Hao Xiong seemed to see what Xiao Yixian was thinking, and walked over to whisper in her ear.
"The debut was a success! We've gained some popularity! If you hold on shamelessly, we're halfway to success!"
The Little Medical Fairy glared at Hao Xiong with anger in her eyes and mouthed to him: Get out!
Hao Xiong rolled quickly to Zhao Xuan and Guan Liushui.
Zhao Xuan drew out her sword and danced with it neatly, while Guan Liushui took light lotus steps and was about to start singing.
Hao Xiong frowned.
"You two are totally incompatible. What's the point of each of you playing your own games?"
The two men stopped and asked Hao Xiong.
"How do you play?"
"Of course one has to accommodate the other. My sister dances with a sword with heroic grace. Brother Shui, don't sing those decadent songs. Show some courage and sing something bold!"
"I will sing the battle song of our Xia Army!"
Hao Xiong shouted loudly.
"Everyone, come and see! One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain and hunt the tiger! When the tiger isn't home, hunt the little white mouse!
The show is about to begin! Let's start by performing a sword dance for everyone! Come and support us!"
Guan Liushui regained his high-pitched voice and sang in a rhythmic manner.
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear. I share the same enemy with you!"
"Who says I have no clothes? I will share the same clothes with you. When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spears and halberds. I will work with you!"
Zhao Xuan waved the sword in her hand as the song played. Every move was heroic, unrestrained and unrestrained, and the sword shadows intertwined like a dragon soaring into the sky.
The flashing sword light surrounded Zhao Xuan. Her figure was sharp yet graceful, as if she had become one with the sword, flying up and down.
The onlookers exclaimed from time to time.
"The little girl looks so powerful, the sword looks like it's wrapped around her!"
"The singing is so beautiful, and the two of them work together so well!"
"Ah! Look out! You scared me! I thought she was going to stab herself!"
"What do you know? This is called being skilled and daring! This sword dance is so beautiful!"
When Zhao Xuan heard everyone praising her, her heart was filled with joy, and the sword in her hand danced like a spirit snake.
She just touched the ground lightly with the tip of her sword, flew into the air, and stabbed the middle-aged man who had just praised her for her skill and courage!
All the onlookers were stunned by Zhao Xuan's sudden killing move!
The middle-aged man stood there in a daze, his eyes staring in horror at the cold sword piercing his throat. His legs were weak and he didn't even have the strength to dodge!
The tip of Zhao Xuan's sword suddenly stopped when it was only an inch away from the middle-aged man. Zhao Xuan flipped in the air and landed lightly in front of the middle-aged man.
Zhao Xuan saluted the middle-aged man with a fist.
"I'll show you one trick, but that's enough. I'm sorry to bother you!"
The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Xuan as if he had seen a ghost, then turned around and ran away.
Zhao Xuan yelled at the man, "Hey, hey! Uncle, don't run! I'm just interacting with you!"
Guan Liushui gave Zhao Xuan a blank look.
"Your interaction is so scary! Look! Scare someone away!"
The onlookers finally came to their senses and applauded.
Zhao Xuan rolled her eyes back at Guan Liushui: "Scare one person away and earn a bunch of compliments, guaranteed profit!"
Gu Zhanghua clapped his hands vigorously: "Great! The live performance is so daring and talented!"
Hao Xiong nudged Gu Zhanghua with his elbow.
"Brother-in-law, stop clapping and get ready. My sister and Brother Shui have finished their performances, so hurry up and start promoting your business!"
Gu Zhanghua muttered, "It's so uncomfortable to squat on the ground and draw..."
Hao Xiong patted his chest and said, "No problem. You can draw on my back later and I'll be your table!"
Now Gu Zhanghua could no longer find any excuse to slack off.
Hao Xiong began his performance. He lifted the front of his clothes into a pocket and walked in front of the big guy.
"Brothers and sisters, young and old! We ran out of money on the way, so we're borrowing your precious place to perform and earn some money!
More is not too much, less is not too little, just give us a meal if you like!"
An old man took out a few copper coins and threw them to Hao Xiong. Hao Xiong grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands and caught them carefully, without dropping a single copper coin.
Hao Xiong looked at the old man with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, sir! I wish you all the best! Would you like me to draw your portrait? The first three are free!
"The next drawing you want will cost you one penny! I guarantee you can draw someone like them! If it doesn't look like them, you don't get any money!"
The old man stroked his beard with a smile.
"Free painting? Then give me one!"
Zhao Xuan and Guan Liushui took a short rest on the side.
Hao Xiong bent down and squatted in front of Gu Zhanghua, then turned around.
Gu Zhanghua spread the drawing paper on Hao Xiong's back and looked carefully at the old man in front of him.
The Little Medical Fairy was not afraid of being embarrassed as a movable signboard. Sister Xuan and Guan Liushui performed with all their might, and Hao Xiong was busy running around and even served as a table for him.
He can't fall behind either, the first painting must be a hit!
Gu Zhanghua thought for a while before he started painting, and soon he handed the finished painting to the old man.
The old man took it and looked at it, then burst out laughing.
"Okay, okay! I'm fifty years old, and no one has ever painted my portrait. Can you all help me take a look and see if it looks like me?"
