Chapter 341 Pricing? 1? 1!
Instantly, the once bustling playground fell into absolute silence.
Su Ze was busy managing the scene when he suddenly felt a heat wave rising behind him that was enough to burn his soul.
He instinctively turned around, and then his whole body turned to stone in an instant.
Beneath the dappled shadows of the trees, cut by the golden autumn sunlight, a girl with a ponytail and fox ears on her head slowly approached, carrying a large bear-shaped bag.
Just as dazzling and beautiful as her morning outfit.
However, Su Ze noticed the difference immediately.
Simply put, it's just too eye-catching!
There, a touch of white was seen through the pure black stockings.
Those two legs, one black and one white, kept flashing in and out through the high slit of the bodycon skirt.
The addition of white silk does more than just change the visual color.
The original black bodysuit had been replaced with over-the-knee stockings, and a patch of pink and white flesh peeked out between the thigh and the stockings.
Black is eerie, white is pure, and pink is delicate!
"Holy shit... Holy shit... Holy crap..."
The megaphone in Su Ze's mouth emitted a piercing whistling sound.
He stared blankly at Bai Zhi as she approached, feeling as if all the vocabulary he had accumulated in his life had been completely wiped out in that moment, leaving only one thought in his mind:
Brother-in-law, your sister isn't here for a charity sale, she's here to... take over the rest of my life!!
Gu Dapeng forgot to blink, only murmuring in a dreamlike voice:
"This way of dressing... isn't it just like the legendary Black and White Duo?!"
"A combination of a witch and a saint—!"
Lin Le stood to the side, the shutter of his DSLR camera clicking away in rapid succession.
"Got it! Got it!"
"This is an absolutely incredible image that could cause the Shanghai Theatre Academy's official website server to spontaneously combust!!"
"I've already thought of a title—'The Realm of Black and White: The Transdimensional Descent of the Goddess Bai Zhi!'"
The air in the charity sale area on the playground.
The lingering smell of sweat seemed to be dispelled by that cool floral fragrance.
Jiang Bai held the two thick bundles of raw Xuan paper he had just retrieved from the school gate in his arms, looking at the charity sale stall surrounded by the crowd.
Because of his appearance.
At this time, the number of people in front of the stalls did not decrease; instead, they blocked the already narrow main road so much that not even a mosquito could fly in.
"Make way! Make way! The goddess is back with the Xuan paper!"
Su Ze waved the megaphone, his face contorted with excitement.
"Quickly, everyone back up three meters!"
"If Sister Baizhi doesn't come in, who will sell our things!"
"Hey, you in front, don't push against Goddess Bai Zhi!"
The crowd grumbled and quickly moved back a few meters to the side.
Jiang Bai pursed his lips and, amidst a tsunami of shouts, entered the pavilion and heavily placed two bundles of Xuan paper on the two-meter-long mahogany table.
"Thump!"
The dull thud seemed to strike the hearts of every old man and student.
"Uncles and classmates."
Jiang Bai lowered his head slightly, his fox ears trembling in the wind, his voice as ethereal as a secluded orchid in a deep valley:
"The blind boxes are all gone. This afternoon... I want to use my pen and ink to bring some warmth to the children in the mountains."
"Therefore, we will only be selling custom calligraphy this afternoon."
"Anyone who needs it can buy it; there's no limit!"
Instantly.
A burst of frenzied shouts erupted from the crowd.
"What? Unlimited? I have to go for it!"
"Although blind boxes are gone, customized calligraphy is still pretty good!"
"I should at least get my dad a 'Success Upon Arrival' amulet; maybe it'll increase my New Year's money!"
"Waaaaah, Goddess Baizhi is so kind-hearted! She actually wants to use her art to show her love for the mountainous areas!"
The lack of blind boxes did not deter people; on the contrary, it made them even more enthusiastic.
Everyone already knew about the news on Weibo and understood that Jiang Baizhi's calligraphy was truly valuable.
What's in front of this stall now isn't paper at all!
These are all original shares with Jiang Baizhi's name printed on them!
After all, a single word can be worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Buy it and you can make money, who wouldn't be excited!
But how much does it cost?
Someone asked:
"Goddess Baizhi, how much does it cost to commission a custom calligraphy piece?"
"I'll buy it no matter the price!"
"Me too! I actually hope the price is set higher so we don't have to wait in such long lines!"
"......"
Jiang Bai, looking at those pairs of bright green eyes, was actually feeling quite uneasy.
"Master Tong, I've never sold calligraphy before. How much do you think would be a suitable price?"
"A poster sells for 50, so how about 100 yuan per word for writing a few characters?"
"After all, we're targeting the mid-to-high-end market, so the prices can't be too cheap."
"But won't it be too dark?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Bai hesitated and extended a slender index finger.
He had intended to tentatively ask, "Is 100 yuan per word okay?"
however.
Before he could speak, the person at the very front of the line slammed his hand on the table and shouted with fanaticism:
"I get it!! Goddess Baizhi means one thousand yuan per word?!"
"What?!"
Jiang Bai was stunned.
One thousand yuan per character? Holy crap? That's expensive!
Can these people accept this?
However, before Jiang Bai could even speak...
next second.
"Cheap! It's incredibly cheap!!"
The group of old Dengs gasped in surprise, each one as if they had stumbled upon an incredible bargain:
"Master Wu's calligraphy is worth hundreds of thousands per square foot, yet Teacher Bai Zhi, whom Master Wu praised as a great talent, only charges a thousand yuan per character!"
"A thousand yuan, that's practically targeted poverty alleviation for us collectors!"
"A thousand yuan per word, right? Give me a hundred words! No, two hundred words! I'll go scan the code and transfer the money right now!!"
Jiang Bai stood frozen in place, thinking, "What I really wanted to say was one hundred..."
You guys actually volunteered to raise the price to one thousand?!
It seems he underestimated the number of wealthy people!
Jiang Bai smiled sinisterly to himself.
Okay! A thousand it is!
Since you're the ones who suggested the price, then this is the price!
"Since you gentlemen all support us..."
Jiang Bai smiled and took out a divine-level calligraphy and painting set from Xiong Xiong's backpack.
"Then let's make it 1000 per character. Now, who wants to order first?"
The words fell.
"I'll go first!!"
The person who was standing at the front just now suddenly produced a thick stack of red bills from somewhere.
He slammed his fist on the mahogany table with a "thud," his forehead veins bulging with excitement.
"Goddess Bai Zhi! One thousand yuan per word, right? Here's fifty thousand!"
"Goddess Baizhi, since this is a custom-made calligraphy piece, could you write me a love letter?!"
"I can pay you no matter how many words you write!!"
