Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner
Vol 2 Chapter 99: At least live like a person
"Tony, my "Girls at the Beach 200 Years Later has been sold. Guess how much it sold for?" Danina said to Tangning excitedly when she returned that day.
"How much?" Tangning asked curiously.
Danina gestured, "Five hundred dollars!"
"What?! Five hundred dollars, I heard right?" Tangning asked in disbelief.
Danina nodded and replied, "You heard right, five hundred dollars, but Miss Vanderbilt who bought this painting has a request!"
"What request?" Tangning asked.
"She asked me to make her some of those swimsuits you drew!" Danina explained.
Tangning suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand, so people bought your paintings because of the swimsuits I painted, right?"
"Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't take this painting to a gallery for consignment, but I didn't expect that Miss Vanderbilt would take a fancy to it as soon as it was put up, and it was $500 when I opened it, so rich!" Dany Na sighed.
Then he said, "By the way, Tony, do you have any ideas for this kind of clothes?"
Tangning thought to herself, there is nothing like that, she suddenly realized that this is actually a way to generate income. First, use oil painting to slowly accumulate customers and cultivate their acceptance, and then open a clothing store or even a clothing store. Brand to lead the trend, you must know that women's money is the best to earn!
Moreover, this can also give Danina and even her own women something to do, which is beneficial to the maintenance of feelings. This is more effective than just using money. In addition, you don't have to worry about them getting bigger and leaving you. After all, the creativity is all in you. Here it is!
Thinking of this, Tangning nodded and replied, "There are some new ideas, wait for me to draw one for you!"
Then I drew a set of the simplest girl's dress, t-shirt + low-waisted denim shorts + sneakers, and then I thought about it, it seems that sneakers can't be made at this time, so I changed it to Martin boots, and now I have high heels And riding boots, then it shouldn't be difficult to find a shoemaker to make Martin boots, right?
But even with such a simple dress, Danina still seemed to be stunned. It took a few seconds before she stuttered and asked Tangning, "W-what time are you wearing this?"
"It's the clothes you usually wear when you go out!" Tangning replied casually.
"But, but this is too revealing!" Danina said with a frown.
"Is it more revealing than the swimsuit I drew before?" Tangning retorted.
Danina explained: "After all, swimsuits are for swimming, so it's understandable that the clothes are less material and fit closer to the body, but if you wear them like this, doesn't that show your arms, thighs, and even your waist?"
In fact, it's no wonder that Danina was so surprised, because although the dress style of European women in the 19th century was trying to show the plumpness of women's chests and the waists that were gripped, they were still very conservative on the whole, except for the face, Other skin needs to be wrapped up in public. In fact, it is not only in Europe. Before the end of World War II, women in every country in the world were dressed very strictly, except for women with special jobs, but even those with special jobs. Work clothes are not as open as they are now...
"Why can't you show it? Actually, it's the same as showing off those jewelry. Since you have big breasts, big hips, big legs, why don't you show it?" Tangning defended, then asked from a different angle, " Are you saying that this kind of clothes looks good or not, and is there anything new?"
This time Danina didn't hesitate: "Although I don't dare to wear it, it is really good-looking; as for the novelty, let alone the new idea, I've seen this kind of clothes before, I haven't even heard of it!"
"Isn't that enough to satisfy your request, hurry up and paint!" Tangning urged.
"Okay!" Danina nodded in agreement, then turned to Kayla and said, "Let's go, Kayla, let's go to Aunt Jenny to make these clothes! Then you'll be the model for me, okay?"
"Okay, but still can't use my avatar!" Keira emphasized.
"Of course!" Danina reassured.
After Danina and Kayla left, Tangning felt that it was useless to stay in the house alone, so she decided to go out for a walk. There was a shoe shine booth at the intersection, so she sat down by the way.
Tangning's usual habit when she shines her shoes is to read the newspaper, but today he found that the black man who was shining his shoes seemed to be avoiding his gaze, which aroused his curiosity. "Huh? Aren't you Ross from Uncle Frick's house?"
The reason why Tangning was so surprised was because this Ross was supposed to be a black slave from the Frick family, and he was also a very hard worker, but Tangning didn't know how he came to New York to shine shoes.
Seeing Tangning recognize him~www.readwn.com~, Ross replied embarrassedly, "I didn't expect you to remember me, Mr. Tangning!"
"How could I not remember you? Uncle Frick even lent you to my house to work. I remember you were the head of those **** at the time! Ross, why did you come to New York to shine shoes?" Tangning asked curiously. road.
I saw Ross sighed and replied: "Isn't it a war last year, Yankee, ah no, after General Butler occupied New Orleans, he liberated us black slaves. I heard from those soldiers that New York is better than New Orleans. Much more, so I found an opportunity and followed the boat to New York!"
"Then do you think New York is better than New Orleans now?" Tangning asked with great interest.
Ross scratched his head, and then replied: "How do you say it, in fact, now that I think about it, what Ajid told the truth at the time, New York is indeed free, and it is true that there will be no whipping, but the price of freedom is that it is easy to not have enough to eat. Hey, at the beginning we thought he was bought by Mr. Tangning and you manor owners, so we lied to us so that we wouldn't follow those underground railways, but now we find that we are blaming him!"
"Then let you go back now, are you willing to go back?" Tangning asked again.
This time Ross shook his head without hesitation and replied, "I won't go back! Although I often don't get enough to eat in New York, those white gentlemen and the police still look down on us, but at least live like a human here!"
"At least live like a human being!" Tangning was shocked by those words!
