Helplessness (1)
The corner of the downtown area along the Songjiang River.
Ten minutes before the opening time, I, a difficult climber, finally climbed the ladder nearly four meters high and prepared for the unveiling of the plaque.
The original expectation and nervousness have long been dissipated by this four-meter-high ladder, leaving only a stomach full of resentment. I really regret why I had to prove that I could climb a ladder, and if it wasn't for the smooth ride, I would have to give some people a good look.
At this point, I completely ignored the fact that I had to prove that I could climb the ladder, but after a while, most of my resentment disappeared. Looking at the red silk cloth with the plaque at hand, similar images of the past unconsciously churned in my mind.
Time has passed too long, I have forgotten how many times I have experienced such a picture, and I have forgotten how many places I have been to, and now that I am back here, it seems that it really verifies the fate that Sinan said earlier.
I have always disbelieved in these things, because I have done an errand that changed my life. It's just that a person like me, who wanders the world without a purpose, has come all the way back to a place, and if he wants to find some other explanation, there really is nothing more apt for this time.
But whether it's fate or anything else, since I'm back, I should always take all my belongings with me, and all my belongings are at my feet at this time.
When I think about this, I feel a great sense of satisfaction in my heart. Prompted by this sense of satisfaction, I completely forgot my fear of ascending, and couldn't help but hum a little song and find a comfortable position to sit down.
The warm wind swept the tips of my hair in due course, this warm and delicate feeling made my heart more comfortable, looking at it, although it was not yet the time of the red and willow green, but after a few rapid and lingering spring rains, the delicate flowers have quietly covered the branches, which are like the petals dyed by the rouge of the daughter's house, white and red, under the background of the shallow and tender branches and leaves, each piece shows the tenacity and majesty of life.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a vibrant scene, and I'm a little fascinated by it. It wasn't until Ah Shu reminded me loudly under the ladder that I realized that I had almost missed the hour.
When ten o'clock came, I stood up, brushed my clothes neatly, then took a deep breath, raised my hand to hold the red silk cloth and pulled it down.
The bright red silk fluttered to the ground in a very free and easy posture under the warm breeze, and the whole dark black lacquered wood plaque finally appeared in front of my eyes without obstruction. I looked at the vigorous and powerful inscription on the plaque with satisfaction, and looked at the dazzling light of the golden words in the still cold sun, and couldn't help but shout "beautiful".
Ah Shu, who was busy greeting the guests, was a little dazed by my roar, and his eyes were full of confusion in response to me, I smiled at him, and then jumped down from the ladder while people were not paying attention, and grabbed Ah Shu's shoulders quite proudly, and said:
"Ah Shu, Ah Shu, my sister is so happy, why don't we get a 20% discount on all our goods today?"
"Lord Sinan will be angry. ”
Ah Shu politely took my hand off his shoulder, and then answered my question in a tone of persuasion. I knew that Ah Shu's reminder was full of kindness, but I still selectively ignored his heartfelt advice, and my tone changed from the initial excitement to a malicious temptation:
"Little Shushu, don't you know that discounts are a very practical marketing tool? As long as discounts are mentioned, there will be many customers who come to our house for tea. Having customers means making money, and making money means that my sister can buy you a lot of delicious food. Are you sure we have to listen to Little Master?"
Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned eating, Ah Shu's determined eyes began to become a little hesitant, he bit his lip and looked at me a few times, and then lowered his head in confusion.
Seeing that my goal was about to be accomplished, I rejoiced in my heart and continued:
"Besides, Ah Shu, we are open to do business, the guests who come are all kinds of strange, we can't always be cold to others like the little master, that will offend the guests and run, let's give a discount to a little embodying the purpose of 'the customer is God', so that people will come often in the future, isn't it~"
I hooked Ah Shu's chin and winked at him again, with an expectant expression on my face. However, the way Ah Shu looked at me made me feel an ominous premonition.
"Sister, when you say 'the customer is God', the Emperor of Heaven will be angry when he hears it!"
"Ah Shu, I order you, from today onwards, you are not allowed to go near the little master, otherwise I will cut you down and set it on fire!"
