Reading test questions and answers of the novel Harvest

① Yangliuqing of Tianjinwei ① has aura, and every household is good at drawing. The older generation painted manuscripts, men lettered, women dyed their faces, and children filled in colors, which were passed down from generation to generation, and the masters were like forests. Every twelfth lunar month, every household takes their own paintings to sell in the streets, and new drafts and samples emerge one after another, which is dazzling. But no matter how many new paintings are produced, there is always a "drum" when they are sold. The "drum" that Yangliuqing said is "alive"-whoever looks at it says he likes it, and whoever looks at it wants to buy it, scrambling to buy it. This portrait is enchanted and can sell like crazy at once.

(2) There is a man named Bai who makes New Year pictures in the town. He has been doing this for generations. He can afford to hook, engrave, print and draw anything, but he has no new look. He can only print with several old editions handed down from generation to generation. For example, the Lotus Festival, Lu Wenlong with Two Guns, One-liners, and the Golden God of Wealth. These old paintings sell well, enough to eat and wear. But old paintings can't stick out any more. If they can't expand, they won't make much money. He is humble and helpless.

(3) In the early winter of Tongzhi eight years, he set up a painting case, installed the old version, rolled up his sleeves and started printing. In the year of lotus, the white fat man is holding a red carp, followed by a green leaf pink lotus. This painting is available in many painting shops, and it is similar. Can sell 2000 copies every year.

(4) This afternoon, White Printing was tired, so I went to a street pub to drink, and an uncle at the same table was also drinking. The boundary of Yangliuqing is not too big, and everyone in the town knows who it is. The uncle's surname is Gao, and the two of them are chatting while drinking. Speaking of paintings and whose paintings will "bulge" this year, Miss Gao casually said, "Old Bai, you can't bulge just by eating ancestral rice." This sentence poked the white ribs like a stick. He couldn't hold back his face and got up and went home.

The more you think about it, the angrier you get. When I entered the room and saw the ancestral notebook on the painting case, I was so angry that I grabbed a meat cleaver on the table and was about to destroy it. His wife grabbed him at once, and he immediately fell drunk on the ground and was unconscious.

When I woke up the next day, I found that the situation was not good. Ancestral version, the lotus is more than a year old, and it was really destroyed by him. I dug it out with a version line. If I look carefully, it's luck. The doll's face was not hurt, but the peony flower on one side of the head was gouged out. It turns out that there is a braid on each side of her head and a peony flower on each side. Not a couple now. There's nothing I can do. The cut version is like cutting meat, which can't be repaired. Seeing these two days, the New Year pictures will be on the market. Fortunately, I printed a thousand copies the day before yesterday, so I had to make do with printing another thousand copies before selling.

⑦ When the painting went on the market, something strange happened. People who bought paintings not only didn't think there was a flower missing from the doll's head, but also laughed and said that the fat doll was really naughty and played with all the flowers on her head. It was so cute! Speaking of which, the doll on the painting moved and lived! So you want one, I want one, and a thousand is like a gust of wind blowing away. There is no photo in my hand, so I have to sell the doll with double braids early. The person who can buy the painting asked, "Is it sold out like yesterday?" He was stupid: "Why does everyone look at the one with a flower missing from his head?"

When you come back tonight, you should quickly print the "Lotus Year" without a braid. As soon as the painting was released, it sold out in the blink of an eye. Everything in the market will catch fire, even the water can't be saved. Suddenly a neighbor came over and said, "Old Bai, the whole town is noisy. Your painting is bulging this year! " "Then he asked in a low voice," this painting has been printed in your home for several lifetimes. Why is it bulging this year? "

Pet-name ruby white just smiled and didn't say, he knew. But when I think deeply, I don't understand why a flower is missing.

Attending the thirtieth night, counting money for nothing, made a fortune.

? He expects the painting to swell up again next year, but the feng shui will change next year. Although this painting sells well, it is not his one that really stands out. Instead, it is a new painting named "Taiping Family" by an obscure small painting shop. Six women are playing the Taiping drum, which is not surprisingly good, but it sells like crazy. Every day before dawn, people who buy paintings at the entrance of Yicheng line up next to the cold.
