Chapter 232: Office
PS: Thank God ☆ Dao ← ruthless¤ and Xiao Yi 002 for the tip!
Wei Hang returned to the town streets, ready to get some meat back. Now there are many people in the family, and I need to eat a lot of vegetables. In the past three days, I have been eating fish and seafood, and I feel a little tired.
He thought about it for a while, and simply got another refrigerator back, and when the time came, put one of them in the kitchen and the other in the living room. Now, the situation at home, I believe my mother will not say anything. The most important thing is that I have money now, and I won't feel as sorry for money as I did at the beginning.
As he walked, he saw a stall on the side of the street. An old man with a child of five or six years old is in front of the stall, which has some carvings, lifelike, and some materials.
"This is a squid bone, right?" Wei Hang stopped.
Many people may wonder, squid also have bones, isn't it a mollusk?
In fact, there are indeed bones, and they are not small. When we usually eat, people always get the bones off, so people who have eaten squid may not know such a thing.
The old man looked up, smiled and nodded: "Yes, do you want to buy a carving back?" It's very cheap, one is a few dozen yuan. ”
This is his ancestral craft, but it has long since fallen out. The main reason is that bone carving was not very popular before, and many people passed it on and passed it on, and no one inherited it. It's like this old man, none of his children are interested in this art.
Carving these things, it is very tiring to learn, and it is hard to carve one, which is so dozens of dollars, but many people still think it is expensive, at least in Fengqi Town, almost no one wants it. In this way, they feel that it is better to go out and get a job.
The ancestors of the Neolithic Age, with extremely backward productive forces, struggled with the harsh nature in order to survive, and used local materials. The creation of this work, although naïve and simple, expresses a kind of worship of ancestors.
With the changes of history, bone carving has gradually evolved from daily necessities to ornaments, and the ancients have long used bones to make needles and knives and engrave words and patterns on bones. The bone carving we see now is a very exquisite handicraft, which not only engraves words on the bone, but also carves lifelike three-dimensional figures, flowers and birds through different knife techniques.
The production areas of bone carving in China are mainly in Beijing, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, Guangdong Province and other places. The bone carving in Beijing uses cow bones as raw materials to make bracelets, powder boxes, paper knives, etc., and some are dyed in color. Zhejiang, Jiang carved into relief landscapes, pavilions and other patterns with cow bones, inlaid on the furniture. Inner Mongolia bone carvings are made from camel bones. In Guangdong Province, white squid bones are used as raw materials. The carved figures, landscapes and other themes are exquisitely clear and exquisite.
Wei Hang glanced at the old man and knew that he might not have a good life. Dozens of pieces are in Fengqi Town, which is indeed not easy to sell. With that money, the people felt that it was better to buy a few catties of pork.
Before they were rich, the people simply didn't have the heart to play with these elegant things.
Wei Hang squatted down, looked through it, and took two pieces. One is carved with a crab and the other is a shrimp.
"That's all!" Wei Hang said to Lao Suo.
Selling two works at once made the old man very happy. He hurriedly used a wooden box to help Wei Hang pack it, and he earned hundreds of yuan today. After a while, I can buy some food and play for my grandson.
"Grandpa! I'm hungry. The little one said to his grandfather.
"Xiaoyi, don't panic, grandpa will take you to eat delicious food later. Lao Su touched the little one's head, and was very doting. He is such a grandson, and the others are granddaughters. Naturally, he is pampered to the extreme, and he usually comes out with this little guy.
Do so. In fact, there is another reason, that is, subtly, I hope that my grandson will like this craft in the future and pass on the ancestral things.
Wei Hang paid one hundred and twenty yuan, thought for a while, and said to Lao Suo: "You are here, it is estimated that you will not sell much." If it's not too far, you might as well go to my Tangjia Village, where there are many tourists, maybe you can sell a lot. ”
He also intended to help this old man, at such an old age, it was indeed not easy to come out and set up a stall.
Hearing Wei Hang's words, the old man was stunned, but he didn't expect Wei Hang to come from Tangjia Village.
Tangjia Village has been in the limelight recently, and it is impossible for him not to receive the news. There are a lot of people who go there, and it is said that they are from the city. People who can come out to play are naturally not very short of money.
Thinking of this, his heart also became a little hot. Before, there was no way, the whole town, except for the streets, where else could anyone consume this kind of handicraft?
"Thank you for the reminder. The old man hurriedly thanked him.
Holding the things, Wei Hang nodded and left. Seeing this kind of person, he obviously has good skills, but he doesn't seem to be able to get along in this society, Wei Hang has a sense of sadness, so he will deliberately stop and give some help.
After a while, I actually met the bald guy Wen, and looking at his expression, he seemed to be in a good mood.
"What's the matter, did you have a good day?"
"Oh, are you dazzled? I actually saw Brother Hang. The bald man said to the people around him.
The two young men of the same age next to him rolled their eyes and said secretly: We are not dazzled, what do we have to do with what you see Brother Hang?
"Hey, I've made money lately, pretending you don't know me?" Wei Hang scolded with a smile.
The bald head Wen sneered: "The main thing is that Brother Hang, you haven't seen anyone recently, and it is inevitable that you will be a little uncalm when you see it suddenly!"
That's right, the last time Wei Hang went to sea, it was a few days. In addition, Bald Wen has been hanging out in the market in the town every day recently, and he rarely goes back to the village, so there are really not many opportunities for the two to meet.
"Brother Hang, how did you come to the town to play today?"
Wei Hang lit up the things he was carrying: "Do you see that I'm here to play? This pile of things, you can tell that they are running errands at a glance!"
Subsequently, the bald head Wen told Sù Weihang that they received a batch of giant shrimp today, which is not small.
This is a good thing, and now the price outside is very high, and a live shrimp of about three taels costs more than two hundred, which is more precious than a large lobster. They collected it, that is, more than three hundred pounds. This batch, they estimate that they will earn 30,000 or 50,000 yuan.
"It seems that you kid is lucky, and you're really going to get rich. Wei Hang laughed.
"Shhhh Another young man spoke.
But the bald head didn't care: "What are you afraid of? We are fair traders." Compared to before, the price is also much higher now. ”
He is not wrong in what he said, in the past, this was also expensive seafood, sometimes it was more than a hundred catties, and everyone attached great importance to it. Early this morning, when I came here, people immediately came up to me and asked for the price.
He also asked, the wild giant shrimp manager Huang said that more than 500 yuan per catty purchase, in the heart of ecstasy, immediately gave the fisherman 350 per catty, happy that the fisherman said to his familiar people to treat.
It is no wonder that he harvested more than 80 catties of giant shrimp today. So, calculated that his daily income is as much as forty or fifty thousand, how much can he use for a meal?
The bald head Wen also took Wei Hang to see his office, and he was able to gain a foothold here. Now, an office has been opened.
Wei Hang was dumbfounded when he heard this. What is the situation? Even this guy has an office. Could it be a bit of nonsense?
"Office?your?"
Seeing Wei Hang's expression, Bald Man was a little embarrassed and touched his head.
"Hehe! Just over there, separated a little, there are a few stools and a table in it, mainly for resting. ”
In this market, there is not a single stool, people sell seafood, basically there is no time to sit down and rest, so there is no need, sell it quickly and go back, what else to sit?
But they can't do it with bald heads, they stay here almost all day, and they usually smoke cigarettes or something, and they have to have a place. Therefore, he had an idea and opened the first office of the seafood market.
At that time, many people laughed at this thing! Because if it sounds good, it is an office, but if it is bad, it is actually a place to smoke. Some old smokers always like to take a few puffs.
"Ahem, since someone is smoking over there, I'm not going. Wei Hang shook his head.
Only then did the bald head Wen remember that Wei Hang didn't smoke, so he didn't force it.
"Then I'll take you inside! The market is much more regulated now than before. ”
Wei Hang had already heard about this, and as for any improvements, he also wanted to see and understand, so he nodded and followed the bald Wen and them in.
Indeed, the place where you enter the eye is much cleaner than before. This is a huge improvement, and it used to be managed by outsiders, so I didn't care about it.
"Yo, you're not famous!" Wei Hang teased.
He found that when the bald head walked in, there were people greeting him along the way.
"No way, I'm the biggest here now. Saying this, the bald head is not polite. He is now the largest seafood buyer in the market, and his family has taken out all the coffins to support him.
Wei Hang was speechless, and said secretly: Say a word to you, you are really out of breath.
In the middle, a large blackboard is set up, which indicates the specific prices of various seafood, and even the price forecast for the next day or two.
In front of the blackboard, there were a few people looking at it carefully. Every time they pull the harvest over, the first thing they do is look at the price movement above, which is a necessary procedure.
In addition, there are also points of purchase, and the purchase points of each type of seafood are different, which is indicated in front of it, which is clear. The fishermen selling seafood are clear at a glance. After looking at the price, they can go straight to the point of sale
In this way, the market is a little less noisy. Unlike before, it was messy, and everyone often fought over the price.
"Very good, keep up the good work!" Wei Hang nodded, giving a relatively high praise.
At this time, Wei Hang suddenly saw the shrimp in a fisherman's bucket, his eyes lit up slightly, and he moved over. (To be continued......)
