"What are these things?" Qi Kun looked at the things in front of him in confusion.

"It's called a 'figure', you don't even understand this?" Hu Er said to Qi Kun with a disgusted face: "Just like we sell cars, there will be car models." There are roughly two types of car models, one is made of clay, and the other is made of metal. We prefer the ones made of metal, which are relatively much cheaper. ”

Many people think that the preferred material for car models is metal models, but in fact, those car manufacturers will use clay to make models. Many of the original car scale 1:1 models are made of clay. Because of the sludge model, if there is a problem, it can be modified at any time. Of course, the cost is also much higher. A 1/100 scale clay model costs thousands of dollars, because this thing can only be made by hand.

Xiao Peng said: "The profit of making a car model is too low, after all, the metal car model can be produced on an assembly line." So Xiao Xu suggested that I use the means of wrought iron to make models of these two-dimensional figures. Look at this. ”

Yang Meng saw that it was a wrought iron model figure about one meter high, which seemed to be a character in a game that had been very popular recently, and had not yet been spray-painted.

"Just this one can sell for 30,000 yuan! And seven or eight people came to me to make a reservation!" Xiao Peng smiled: "To tell the truth, I want to thank my father-in-law for passing on my craft." I only understand now. The kids in the city who like two-dimensional are really not bad for money. Look at this!"

He took out a big sword: "This is a game fan who ordered it with me, what is it called 'Fallen Ash Bringer', just this sword gave me 15,000! It's not me blowing! It's just such a thing, if it's not spray paint or something, I'll get it for him in three days!"

Yang Meng took Xiao Peng's big sword: "I'll go." It is said that there is a craft that is not afraid to go all over the world, and this is really the case. ”

Xiao Peng said with disgust: "My old man is dead-eyed, and he dislikes me for doing these things, and he just blew his beard and glared at me." I said it was a bad abuse of the craft he taught me. You said that he made a kitchen knife and I beat this thing, which one made more money? She also saw that I made money, and my daughter and grandson were doing well, so she was not so stubborn. I really have to thank Xiao Xu, if it weren't just him, I wouldn't have known that I could make so much money!"

Niu Zhishi, who was on the side, said: "These things of yours are really things that I can't hold in my father's eyes, I will let you see my father's craftsmanship." ”

After speaking, Niu Zhishi opened a cabinet next to him and took out a small dagger from it, Yang Meng took it and took a breath: "What is this?

Niu Zhishi said to Yang Meng: "The things my dad makes are not good-looking, but they are definitely the best ones." This dagger looks inconspicuous, but to say that it 'sharpens iron like clay' is to underestimate it! Do you think my father can still look at these things?"

Xiao Peng pouted and said: "He's a dead brain! What age is it now? This dagger is a cow, and when you take it out, it's a controlled knife, what's the use? He has a craft, but for so many years he has been making kitchen knives, hoes, iron pots, and the like, and he can't catch up with the money I make with a model knife for a few years." ”

Niu Zhishi pouted and said, "Is this a matter of money? This is feelings! If you say that again, I will tell my father what you say, and see how he cleans you up!"

"Don't mind, he beat me mercilessly!" Xiao Peng surrendered.

Qi Kun on the side asked curiously, "What are you afraid of?"

Xiao Peng said with a bitter face: "How many times have you been beaten, you can't beat it at all!"

Yang Meng laughed: "Lobster, you are also a mixed bag, how can you be so troublesome? Let your son-in-law fight with your father-in-law? It's okay to say if you lose, if you win, do you believe that they can tear Peng Peng apart?"

Everyone laughed together, but Xiao Peng said: "What I am most grateful to now is Xiao Xu, if it weren't for him to show me the way, whether I can support my wife and children now is a question."

Xu Xingde waved his hand and smiled: "It's nothing, my college alumnus is an anime fan, he buys thousands of resin figures, I know that Brother Peng has this skill, so I helped him contact the market." I didn't expect it to be really popular, I opened a handmade custom metal ratio figure shop for him on the Internet, and the business was really good. ”

Yang Meng nodded and said, "Handmade things are popular now. ”

At this time, Niu Zhiqin pushed the door and walked in: "I said you have talked enough? The children are hungry." ”

"Let's go, go back to eat, go back to eat!" Xiao Peng hurriedly beckoned everyone back to the dinner table.

Xu Xingde sat down and sighed: "Everyone, let me tell you the truth, you here are really completely different from what I imagined. You say you're a country man all day long, and I've taken a look here, and it's true that you're backward here, but you're different from many places in the neighborhood. ”

"Oh, what's the difference?" asked Yang Meng curiously.

Xu Xingde said: "For example, there are many places in the vicinity that there is a bad habit of 'women and children do not serve on the table', but you don't have it here; you see that this adult can't eat without chopsticks, and the child can't eat it, which is paying attention to family style; you are obviously a mountain village here, but I found that you locals don't eat wild meat; and it's almost the New Year, but you don't even prepare firecrackers here。。。。。。。 There are so many similar quirky places!"

Yang Meng and the others glanced at each other and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Xingde asked puzzled.

"Mengmeng, you have a sharp mouth, you can explain it to Xiao Xu!" Xiao Peng was sandwiching meat in his daughter's bowl there, and said to Yang Meng.

Yang Meng didn't shirk either: "Xiao Xu, I'll explain these questions to you one by one." First of all, let me tell you about this custom of 'women and children don't serve at the table', you just said that this is a bad custom, right?"

Xu Xingde nodded: "Yes!

Yang Meng thought for a while: "To tell you the truth, I think you still have a little misunderstanding of this custom, let me ask you, what do you say a group of men do when they eat together? Isn't it just drinking and bragging? That wife and children are not boring at the table? It is better for men to have a table and women and children to have a table, so that they can have fun." In the old society, women and children did not go to the table because the family was poor and there was no way to make everyone eat well, so men entertained guests with good things, and women and children hid aside to eat bad food, so that there would be no shame. And now women and children don't go to the table means that they set up another table, men talk about men, women talk about women, and both sides are not boring. On the contrary, I now feel that there is something desirable about this custom. If in the old society, 'women and children did not go to the table' was discrimination against women, now 'women and children do not go to the table' is instead a respect for women. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. You see, we don't have this custom here, women and children eat together, and they must leave the table first to leave us to drink and chat, isn't this similar to 'women and children don't serve at the table'?"

Xu Xingde was puzzled and asked: "You just said that in the old society, 'women and children don't go to the table' because they are poor?

Yang Meng said proudly: "Although our village was a group of people who fled here, but there is no need to think about war and other reasons here, so life is still good, according to my ancestors, from here generations have really not been hungry." ”

Qi Kun pouted on the side and said, "What are you talking so tactfully? Xiao Xu, aren't you curious why we pay attention to family style here? Let me tell you this, our ancestors who fled here at that time were all from famous families, don't look at them now are all farmers, but back then, our ancestors were all scholars and peasants who were forced by the life here. But it's not bad either. It's a bit of Tao Yuanming's feeling. ”

"Is there still such a story in this Zhenshanzi Village?" Xu Xingde said.

Qi Kun waved his hand after hearing this: "There are several villages in this old temple mountain, almost all of them are in this situation, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some villages couldn't bear the loneliness and left the old temple mountain, and some villages insisted on living here, we just insisted on living." Although we have changed from a scholarly family to an old farmer, our family style has been left from generation to generation. Don't look at us who don't pay much attention to working outside, but when we get home, the first thing we do after getting up and washing up is to go to our parents to say goodbye. Otherwise, the 'family law' made of bamboo strips is really a desperate draw!"

Yang Meng sighed and said: "Who is not like this? In the words of my grandfather back then: People are not poor, and they can't fall down if they are down." , Every time he said this, it was when my father was pumped, but now it's good, the family law has been passed to my father, and he has not cleaned me up. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Peng and several other children looked at each other after hearing this, and sighed together.

Niu Zhiqin, who was feeding the children, laughed when he saw a few people sighing: "Back then, a few of them went out to fight, and after the fight, they knelt in a row in front of the village. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yang Meng and several people glaring at Hu Er viciously together.

Hu Er blinked: "What are you staring at me for?"

Qi Kun sneered: "Back then, it was your father who taught us to use the family method to pump his ankle, and now I still feel that my ankle hurts when I think about it!"

"That's right!" Yang Meng and the others nodded together: "Two stunned, you quickly punish yourself for three cups, and the father and son will pay the debt!"

Hu Er looked at the few people around him and sighed, and punished himself with three cups.

Xu Xingde smiled: "I can't imagine that you still have such a time." ”

Yang Meng said with a smile: "But the family has never punished us for fighting with Shanqian Village." Do you understand now how bad our relationship is with the village of Yamamae?"

Xu Xingde nodded in understanding.

Yang Meng toasted him with a glass of wine and said: "As for the issue of setting off firecrackers you just said, you are in the right place, even if firecrackers are set off everywhere in the country, we can't put them here." ”

"Hmm, why is that?" Xu Xingde was confused.
