Chapter 166: Sugar Painting (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She carefully observed the old man’s sugar paintings. There were butterflies and zodiac signs. Every sugar painting was lifelike.
Meng Chuyuan felt that she was rather clumsy in comparison and could not think of any other pattern in a short period of time, so she made a butterfly according to the original sugar pattern.
Some tourists nearby saw Meng Chuyuan and the others selling sugar paintings. They secretly observed them for a long time and finally mustered their courage to come over.
When Ting Jiu saw the first customer appear, he put on a warm expression and greeted politely, “Hello, Miss. Do you want to buy a sugar painting?”
The female tourist nodded. Seeing that there was nothing she liked in the finished sugar paintings, she even said boldly, “May I customize the painting?”
Meng Chuyuan raised her head and smiled. “Yes.”
“My daughter likes Peppa Pig. Can you draw George and his dinosaur?”
[F*ck, hahahaha, she’s a ruthless person. Miss, you really know how to customize your piece.]
[Peppa Pig, I like her too ah ah ah ah ah. If I ever see such a sugar painting, I would not be able to help myself buy it too.]
[Us students express that sugar paintings are a little expensive. Boohoo, I really can’t afford it.]
[Sister in front, sugar paintings are really not expensive because they’re an artform.]
Meng Chuyuan looked at the little girl in her arms. She had two pigtails on her head. Her face was round, and her eyes were as big as grapes. Anyone who saw such a cute little girl would want to pinch her.
Meng Chuyuan said, “Of course.”
She tilted the spoon in her hand slightly and began to make the tourist’s custom George and his dinosaur painting.
In a few minutes, Meng Chuyuan drew George effortlessly, then she drew a dinosaur in his hand.
Seeing that Meng Chuyuan had really drawn George and his dinosaur, the little girl’s eyes lit up. She bent down in her mother’s arms and extended her hands out in the air.
Meng Chuyuan saw that she was a little anxious and said gently, “Wait a moment, this candy hasn’t solidified yet.”
“Okay,” the little girl replied in her childish voice.
The mother hugged the little girl and looked down at her child. She asked, “Baby, do you think the drawing looks good?”
The girl nodded repeatedly. “Yes.”
Meng Chuyuan’s eyes were gentle, and her voice was sweet. “Thank you, little girl.”
After a while, when the sugar finally solidified, Meng Chuyuan slowly took it off the board and handed the sugar painting to the little girl.
Not long after, Meng Chuyuan and the others welcomed many customers. Everyone was queuing up to customize their sugar paintings.
However, the other two groups were not so lucky.
This was because they did not know how to draw. Even if they wanted to draw a good pattern, they did not have the ability.
They relied on their face card to sell the sugar paintings left behind by the stall owner. They did not know what to do next. Their paintings were too ugly. If not for the fans giving them face, no one would have wanted them.
Seeing that Qi Zhen had no clue what to do, a female fan suddenly said, “Why don’t you paint your signature? I’ll buy two sets. My best friend and I will each get one.”
Qi Zhen thought about it carefully and felt that this was a good idea, so he agreed. “Okay.”
[Oh my god, buying a celebrity’s autograph for ten yuan. Is this for real?]
[Where is this? Is it too late for me to go over now? Boohoo, I also want Brother Qi Zhen’s autograph.]
[No way? You can even do that? Qi Zhen, you’re too soft-hearted. You’re a popular celebrity after all and yet you’re selling it for merely ten yuan?]
Some fans saw that Qi Zhen’s group were selling autographs, so Liao Jiake’s fans ran to her and boldly asked for an autograph.
Just like that, the other two groups began to sell their autographs as sugar paintings.
Around ten in the morning, the three groups of guests completed their tasks. However, more and more customers lined up to buy their paintings. In the end, they had to stay in business for an additional half an hour.
Seeing that it was about time, the director asked the staff to disperse the tourists so that the guests could wrap up.
Although this was indeed a way to do business, the production team would not use this method to earn money.
“Everyone, I’m really sorry. Our business hours are over. Thank you for supporting our variety show.”
The staff maintained order in the venue.The remaining tourists who did not manage to buy the sugar painting could only leave with regret. Meng Chuyuan finished making her last sugar painting and handed it to the customer. Then, she returned the stall to the old man.
After Ting Jiu counted today’s turnover, he was quite satisfied. It exceeded their expectations.
Ting Jiu suddenly thought of a customer who said that the other two groups were selling autographs and even asked if they were selling any. “I heard that they’re selling autographs.. Does that mean our sales are at the bottom?”
