Chapter 536: I Don’t Need You To Tell Me That
“Okay, only Aunt Li is qualified for this! I definitely feel assured.” Liu Duo laughed.
Aunt Li had the age and she spent a lot of time with the villagers. She knew very clearly which of them were hardworking and honest, and which of them were lazy and crafty.
It was only after Liu Duo exchanged a few more words with them that she left the kitchen and went back to draw underneath the roof.
Time passed by very quickly. Ye Liu and the others had bought some fruit again and they returned and were waiting for the next meal.
“Mr. Liuzi, come over here. I have something to say to you.” Liu Duo waved at him.
Upon seeing this, Ye Liu walked over eagerly. He pulled the stool from the side and sat very close to Liu Duo. “Little Duo, what’s up? So anxious to ask Liu to come over…”
He looked at Liu Duo and winked with his peach blossom eyes to flirt.
Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him. This pretentious look of his really made people want to punch him! “A villager came today. He said he would go to the villages in the neighboring towns and purchase tomatoes before reselling them to us. He asked me to raise the price for him. Do you think we should raise it or not?”
When Ye Liu heard her, he straightened his body and put his hand on his chin. He then looked at Liu Duo and laughed. “Raise it by one wen for him. Otherwise, he would be wasting his time doing this! Everybody knows we are buying one jin of tomatoes for three wens. It would be impossible if he wanted to buy them for a lower price.”
“We will earn more even if we buy them for one wen more, so there’s no harm.”
If they kept buying a large amount, hired more workers to increase the production speed of the tomato sauce, and sold them to areas that were further away, they would definitely make money without the risk of losing any!
Liu Duo heard what he said and nodded to agree. For things like this, it was his decision to make anyway.
“Okay, I will tell him when he comes tomorrow.” Liu Duo picked up the brush and prepared to start drawing again.
When Ye Liu saw this, he took a look at the drawings where the ink had already dried and said, “Little Duo, I think you should draw something else other than animals. Just drawing animals feels too monotonous.”
Liu Duo took out a drawing of a rose from her sketches and said proudly and lovably, “I don’t need you to tell me that.”
She already knew before that just drawing one type of subject would get old, so she had already started to draw flowers.
They would be equally popular when they were produced!
Ye Mo looked at the two of them and walked overly coolly to make his presence felt. “Is this a drawing of a flower? What kind of flower is it? Why haven’t I seen it before.”
Liu Duo was stunned when she heard him. Did roses not exist here?
Liu Duo didn’t answer his question but asked instead, “Then have you seen lilies before? They have white petals but the pistils and stamens are light yellow.”
She even drew one as she spoke.
“I’ve seen this flower before. It doesn’t have much fragrance to it.” Ye Mo nodded.
When Liu Duo heard him, she felt that there probably weren’t any roses here!
However, she did not care about such things. No matter if they existed here, the design would still be popular once they were produced!
“That’s enough. Go and get busy with your own work or go help Yang with processing the seedlings. Don’t stay here and obstruct me from drawing!”
She had already said what she needed to say to Ye Liu, what was he still doing here?
Ye Liu laughed. “Little Duo, are you chasing Liu away? Where did the enthusiasm you had when you called me over go?”
“I had something to say to you and I already told it to you so you can leave! Go help Yang with the seedlings. Even Li Wazi went on his own initiative!” Liu Duo could never help but feel embarrassed when they stared at her like this.
Liu Duo would definitely give a big thumbs up to anyone who could stay calm when they were stared at by handsome men!
Ye Mo stood on her left and Ye Liu to her right. They sandwiched her and were staring at her. She really felt quite pressured.
