give you warm light

Mo Tong put the steamed stuffed bun back in his residence, took the pen and paper bought for two yuan and went to Sister Wang's steamed stuffed bun shop again, and said with a smile, "Sister Wang, you can be a model for me while you are free."

Sister Wang looked embarrassed, she wiped her hands but didn't know how to do it.Mo Tong said that he could do whatever he wanted to do, so he was a little more comfortable, and kept boasting that Mo Tong had no idea that he had such a skill.

Mo Tong used to be a good painter, but he took part in a specialty class in order to go abroad. Now that he is serious about painting, he really has some charm in it.The painting is not just a portrait, but a picture of Sister Wang lifting the bun cage, which is very emotional.

Mo Tong placed two wooden boards at Sister Wang's place, and showed her his own painting, "I will draw another one for Sister Wang later, can I use this as a model first?"

"Okay. This one is fine."

Mo Tong didn't go anywhere else, just piled up a seat with two bricks by the side door, propped the portrait of Sister Wang in front, and sat there quietly by himself.

The university campus is not like high school, and the courses are not so full.Although it was still the peak time after school, people came out one after another in the middle.There was a young man who kept smiling with four teeth showing, sitting there and watching the female students passing by with a simple smile, which was a bit eye-catching.

At that time, the students in colleges were generally older. Although the boundaries between female students and boys were clear, it was still easy to molested the little brother.Of course, this must be in groups of three or four.Soon a few girls came over arm in arm, and asked with a smile, "Which level is my junior? How much is a portrait?"

"I'm not a student at the school. You can give it after looking at it. If you think the painting looks like it, you can give it more. If you don't think it looks like it, you don't have to give it."

A girl with braids squatted down to look at the portrait of Sister Wang, "It looks familiar."

Another said: "Isn't this the one that sells buns?"

The braided girl smiled, "You are really bad at business, you don't even prepare a bench for customers. But forget it, for the sake of your good drawing, let's draw a picture first."

A girl behind gave her a push, and said to Mo Tong with a smile, "Draw whatever you want, if you draw ugly, I'll give you money."

Mo Tong has a keen eye and knows what girls like.A portrait of the girl squatting there, the background is next to the pigeon house in the square.The girl squatted there with her face in her hands and smiled, looking at a white pigeon that had just taken off in mid-air.There are only a few strokes in the background, a simplified grassland and a few white pigeons looking down for food.

The girl was very satisfied with this beautiful and warm painting, and at the instigation of several other girls, she left two dollars for Mo Tong.It can be seen that the student is not short of money, Mo Tong has no idea about money, and he doesn't think much of it when he puts it away.At the end, he greeted: "My sister wants a portrait and come back."

The girls laughed, "Draw a few more times and you won't have to eat this month."

Having no idea about money anymore, Mo Tong felt a sense of joy in his heart when he touched the brand new two yuan.This is the first time that he has earned money with his own hands, especially when he thinks that he can help Shao Gan a little bit, at least he will not hold back, so he is very happy.

Afterwards, it was not as profitable as the first business. There were also fifty cents a piece, and there were also one yuan.Lunch time was the busiest time for people. Mo Tong didn't even eat, and was surrounded by students and made several paintings as quickly and as well as he could.

Shao Gan came back in the middle of the afternoon, and when he couldn't find anyone at his residence, he went out to look for someone in the side street.At the door, I saw Mo Tong sitting on a brick, holding Lian in his hands with black hands, and he could tell what he had done all day with just one glance.Mo Tong didn't wait for the business any longer, he packed up his things and put the two bricks back to the base of the wall, ran back to give the sketch to Sister Wang, and followed Shao Qian home.

Mo Tong said: "Sister Wang, who sells buns in the small street, said that there is an old lady in Xincun who can teach people how to make all kinds of cakes for free."

Shao Gan said: "I have traveled a lot, and I have seen egg-filled biscuits or pancakes at Qiaotou or at the gate of Dachang. It seems that there are not any here."

"Go to Xincuner to look for it tomorrow, it seems to be quite far away."

When he went back to the hut, Shao Gan poured clean water for Mo Tong to wash his hands, and when he washed his hands full of black lead, he took out a large amount of money in his pocket and shook his head a little bit.The two sat cross-legged on the bed and checked it again. Mo Tong took out two yuan and said, "You gave it this morning, and there is still 15 yuan five hahaha."

Shao Gan patted his head, "Your wages are higher than other workers' wages."

Mo Tong gave him the money, "But it can't last long, it's only a novelty in these two days." He said and stared at Shao Gan, "I'll draw you a picture in a while, and use it as a template tomorrow, and I can also give you the future by the way. bakery stalls to do publicity."

Shao Gan smiled, "You keep the first money you earn. Think about the name of the bakery later."

"I don't want to. But you have to take care of my food and clothing."

Shao Gan thought about it for a while and carefully put it on, then he heard Mo Tong say, "Just call it 'Shao Ji'."

With that first night, it became natural to sleep in another bed.This time, the two of them had an exchange, discussing what craft to learn, and by the way, looking forward to a better life after the business grows.They don't know that there is always a gap between ideals and reality, but they know that as long as they work hard, no matter how much, there will always be rewards.

The next day, Mo Tong didn't go to the new village with Shao Gan, and still squatted at the school gate to draw portraits, but this time he had a little more outfit - two small wooden stools and a picture folder.I got up early and bought it for Shao Gan, saying that since I made money, it is not short of the money, and it will always be useful in the future.

The new village is in a very remote suburb. Fortunately, when Shao Gan got out of the car, he saw the big red characters written on the blue brick wall that Mrs. Dong accepted apprentices for free.The place is easy to find, but Mrs. Dong is really versatile. After hearing passers-by nagging him, Shao Gan didn't know what he should learn for a while.

I was also ashamed to talk about learning art directly, and bought a few catties of fruit in the nearby market before I dared to go there.Mrs. Dong is very gentle, a widowed old lady with no family.I live alone in an old house of forty square meters.In the early years, I sold everything, and I learned and pondered the craft. I just wanted to recruit more apprentices and help those children who are willing to endure hardships.Of course, there are also selfishness.She has taught so many apprentices, if people get old in the future, they won't even have one to bury.

After thinking about it, Shao Gan decided to learn how to make pancakes first under the advice of the old lady.The old lady said, young people, pancakes are the simplest, and they are not greasy every day, but they are delicious.The most important thing is that there are many changes, what can't be contained in it?As long as you are willing to use your brain.

It's nothing more than how to knead the noodles and how to spread them. The rest is really simple.Shao Gan studied hard, so naturally he learned quickly.After running like this for a week, it is basically regarded as a teacher.Shao Gan was much more honest than Mo Tong, and he would not lie when he saw a gentle person. After being tricked by the old lady a few times, he was basically figured out.

The old lady knew that his family's conditions were not good, he was from a rural area, had good grades in high school, and there was only one elder brother in the family.Was bullied at school, got into a fight and ran out to find a way out.Although nagging is inevitable, but he also sincerely helps Shao Gan.During the spare time of learning crafts, he also helped him contact the neighbor who sold old tricycles nearby, and bought one for a very cheap price.He also instructed Shao Gan to bring back clay from outside the city and paste a stove.

Sure enough, Mo Tong's business has improved for four or five days, and then it's not so popular anymore.There are also girls who will come to him to chat and talk. The other painters are basically not seen a few days ago, and suddenly they are fooled by him or other girls.During the period, two or three times, a boy always squatted in front of him and watched for a long time.Mo Tong pretended to be innocent every time he was stared at, and asked sincerely, "Do you need a portrait?"

This time again.The casually dressed boy with an earring squatted down in front of him again, staring at him intently.Mo Tong still pretended not to see it, and lowered his head to paint the picture in his hand.He also knows how to be frugal, and he doesn't draw casually on the white paper he bought.There is no business now, so I found a white paper with a painting fee on the back, and drew something at will to waste time.

The boy in front of him finally couldn't bear it any longer, stretched out his finger and nodded his knee: "Should you say something?"

Mo Tong looked like I know you very well, raised his eyelids and asked, "Do you need portraits? Today's special price, two yuan per piece."

"Damn it, the painting you drew for that girl just now was only one yuan and five."

"Boys are not easy to draw, with sharp edges and corners."

The boy touched his face with an expression of disbelief, "You say I have sharp edges and corners?!"

Mo Tong decided to ignore this person. He had had enough of the black hands of his schoolmates, and he didn't want to offend someone with his unintentional words.Shao Gan will do business here in the future.So I repeated it again, "Today's special price, only two yuan~"

The boy had an unbearable expression on his face.Finally someone passed by here, walked past and then turned back.The long-haired girl holding the textbook turned her head and asked, "Ma Xiaoyu, why are you squatting here again?"

The boy called Ma Xiaoyu stabbed Mo Tong's knee again, and when he saw his eyebrows twitched horizontally and his mouth slightly pursed, he stood up reluctantly.When the two of them walked out, Mo Tong heard Ma Xiaoyu complaining to the girl, "Damn it, the girls in our class said he is more handsome than me, but after three days of research, I couldn't find anything more handsome than me."

The girl said something with a smile, but Mo Tong didn't hear clearly.It's just that I was shocked by the boy's reason and looked at his back for a long time without returning to my senses.When he came back to his senses, he saw a tricycle parked next to him, and Shao Gan was squatting beside him, looking into the school along his line of sight.

Shao Gan felt uncomfortable, and when he came back, he saw Mo Tong talking to that boy.When the boy left, Mo Tong still looked up and stared at him, as if he was very reluctant.Most importantly, that boy looks quite handsome.He is almost as fair as Mo Tong, but taller than him, not as obedient as Mo Tong, and walks a little deliberately with his legs, a little ruffian.

Shao Qian knew that he had demons in his heart, and he always came out to make troubles inadvertently. He didn't dare to think too much and quickly recovered, saying, "Basically, I have graduated from the teacher, and I have to figure it out on my own. Let's try tomorrow."

Mo Tong didn't have any opinions, anyway, he didn't have any suggestions on business matters.Both of them are in the dark, slowly groping.

There are also many raw materials needed to spread pancakes, the most important thing is sauce.What Shao Gan learned from the old lady is to use bean paste. In order to make it more fragrant, he stir-fried it with oil the night before for later use, and wrapped it with shredded cabbage and ham.When the two returned home at night, they shared two, and Mo Tong expressed that he was quite satisfied with Shao Gan's craftsmanship.

Starting a business is not easy.The two rode a tricycle to the school gate early in the morning. Mo Tong couldn't help much, so he helped hold the paper bag and yelled.Shao Gan still didn't know that Mo Tong would be so shameless in order to earn money. Whenever he saw a student coming out of the campus, he would say hello, "Shandong big pancakes, all kinds of flavors, do you want a set?"

After going back and forth, half of the breakfast sellers on the street have to look here.

Sometimes this face is really a signature, because the pancakes are sold by two handsome guys who look young and like to laugh. Students who come out to buy breakfast in the morning like to come here.After coming and going, there were regular diners, and Shao Qian immediately ordered soy milk and porridge from the breakfast point outside. A box was sold for a small commission, and if it couldn't be sold, it could be returned, which was safe.

He just sold pancakes on the street without saying hello, and soon he got revenge.Other people's fried buns were selling well, but because his sales have dropped, the designated person is upset.In addition, other people's stalls are paid for, and they are occupying the space for nothing.Sister Wang reminded her once, but she didn't take it seriously. She thought that the two children would not pay the money if they could.Who knew it was on sale that day, and saw two shirtless men swaying over, yelling across a few students: "Hey, boy, who asked you to sell things here? Do you know that you are not allowed to set up a stall at will? "

Mo Tong raised his eyelids and ignored them, but Shao Gan hurriedly packed up a freshly made pancake and sent it over, "Haven't you had breakfast yet? Let's fill it up first, and invite some of you to eat when you have time."

The man glanced at Shao Gan up and down, took a bite of the pancake, and said vaguely, "Ask which store here doesn't pay the rent? Look at the two of you guys who sell it for two days, why are you addicted to selling it? "

"I just came here, so I don't know the truth here." Shao Gan learned to bow his knees for the first time, his face flushed, but he wanted to smile and said, "I'll understand later. Look at the two of us selling cakes. I didn’t sell much, so it’s just rent money. Can I just forget about it today?”

"Yo, what are you doing out early in the morning?" Ma Xiaoyu walked over carelessly, and patted the man's shoulder, "What are you doing, Erlong, why don't you get a good night's sleep. Do you know about it when you come out to search for Brother Biao?"

The two of them seemed to know Ma Xiaoyu, and they were a little bit accommodating, and said with a smile: "Why do you get up so early? The sun is coming out from the west."

"My brother sells pancakes here, and I'm here to try them for free." Ma Xiaoyu greeted Mo Tong: "Mo Chouchou, don't need green onions for a set of pancakes."

Mo Tong rolled his eyes violently in his heart, and didn't even give him a straight look.

After all, he is not a member of the underworld, but some merchants are jealous and dissatisfied, so they come out to suppress them.Someone came forward to make peace, and the two of them took another set of pancakes and fruits and left.

Students have been coming to buy it all the time, and Motong Xuanbing is very proficient now, and it can be spread thin and round in three or two circles.Ma Xiaoyu watched Mo Tong's robot-like wrist twist and turn, and he almost fell asleep again before he said: "Mo Chouchou, didn't you hear that you don't want green onions for a set of pancakes?"

Mo Tong ignored him at all. Hearing him repeat it again, he raised his head to look at Shao Gan, who looked busy with his head down, raised his eyelids and asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

"Don't be ugly."

"Who is that?"

Ma Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and without asking whether he agreed or not, he drank soy milk from a box beside him, and at the same time instructed Shao Gan, who took over, not to put green onions, but to put more vegetables and peppers.
