Chapter 281 Su He went to discuss the mounting of the painting

Wang Xiaohu knew that only when General Wang An was safe could he be truly safe. They were one and the same, and even the Wang Family Army here was the same.

General Wang An was very kind to his soldiers. Every time he went to the capital to make a report or report back, he would do his best to get food and grass for them. Because of this, he was not liked by many ministers, as he was only concerned about his soldiers.

Over the past year, because of the Su family, their military ration reserves have greatly improved. He thanked the Su family from the bottom of his heart and hoped that the Su family could do better. Such a family should be rewarded. So when the Su family came here, he was very happy to provide a lot of convenience.

The Su family came and gave them really good advice. The city will be very different next year, and there will be fewer and fewer hungry people in the city. They have already told them how to raise chickens, and now they will post notices to announce how to raise rabbits. Anyone who is interested can find a way to make a living.

The workshop he opened took in many wounded soldiers who had retired, allowing them to live a decent life, which was better than anything else. Only he knew how cruel the battlefield was and how miserable the wounded soldiers were when they retired.

Every time Su He came up with an idea, it could solve the lives of many people. They needed people to work, and this was an opportunity. This also saved many wounded soldiers, and reduced the worries of the soldiers in the barracks.

Wang Xiaohu is very happy every time he sees Su He. This little girl always brings him surprises. The good ideas in her little head are really good. For example, such a simple method as planting trees, why didn't they think of it before! The methods she gives are not difficult, but no one can think of them.

After Su He finished speaking her mind, she followed Feng Dayuan back. She was still very busy recently, and her classes were suspended. Her teahouse needed to hang paintings, and because they needed a lot of paintings, she also needed to find a mounting master, which had to be booked in advance.

Feng Dayuan took her to Rongbaozhai, a place that specializes in selling calligraphy and paintings. An old man with white hair and beard, ruddy complexion and bright eyes was sitting in the lobby reading a book. There were two young men busy sorting things at the counter next to them. There were a lot of things in the store.

Seeing Feng Dayuan and the other two coming over, he raised his head, smiled, and raised his hand to greet them: "Two guests, what do you need?"

Feng Dayuan also politely returned the greeting and said, "Old sir, we want to frame some paintings. Can you do that?"

The old man smiled and said, "That's no problem. How big should the painting be? What are your requirements?"

Su He smiled and said, "There are paintings of all sizes, mainly to be hung on the wall. There should be about 50 or 60 of them. How long do you think it will take to mount them?"

The old man showed a look of surprise. So many?

He calmed down and asked, "Should the frames be made of the same wood or different colors? It will take about five or six days."

Su He smiled and said, "We don't really understand either. We'll ask you to help us decide what kind of frame we need."

The old man was very happy about her trust and said with a smile: "Okay, I will help you take a good look. Don't worry, I will definitely match the best one."

Su He then smiled and asked the old man: "Do you have any tea sets and ornaments suitable for a teahouse that I can see?"

The old man now knew why so many paintings were framed. It turned out that they were used in the teahouse. He smiled and said, "Yes, the two guests, follow me into the inner room to see."

Their store is very big, with several rooms inside. There is a room dedicated to tea sets, two rooms for calligraphy and paintings, and two rooms each for ornaments and antiques.

Walking into the tea set room, there are rows of neatly arranged cabinets against the walls. Inside the cabinets are various tea sets, including some porcelains from Jun kiln, Ge kiln, Ru kiln, etc., with various styles that are dazzling.

Su He selected some cheap and ordinary tea sets, and also a small number of high-end fancy and exquisite tea sets. She needed to classify the private rooms, so it would be best to classify them based on the decoration and the porcelain used.
