Chapter 6: Threesome
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Wang Shentong sneaked out of the inn, and he was woken up and muttered to him where he was going.
"Go out and get some groceries!"
Last night, everyone chatted and slept late, and no one ate the breakfast sent by Xiao Er.
I woke up again because of the sound of Wang Shentong opening the door.
"Have you slept well?" Wang Shentong's spirit was very good.
Yuen Long sat up from the bed slowly.
This room has two beds, one of which Wang Shentong and Yi Lin squeezed last night, and Yuen Long originally planned to open another room, but was stopped by Wang Shentong.
"Children of the rivers and lakes, don't care so much. ”
According to Yuen Long's previous plan, he should leave for the city this morning, and he will be able to arrive before dark, and the performance scheduled by the Ho family will start in two days. But after yesterday's incident, some confusion has developed in Yuen Long's heart, and his attitude towards the performance is not as positive as before.
"Good afternoon, everyone. Yuen Long greeted them.
Wang Shentong laid out the meal, smiling all over his face, looking excited.
"Eat it, it's hot. This sweet and sour fish smells really good. ”
"I'm going to rinse my mouth. ”
"What kind of mouth, wash it so cleanly, it's not dirty again after eating. "Wang Shentong is talking badly.
Yuen Long shook his head with a smile and went out. By the time Yuen Long came back from washing, the sweet and sour fish had already been eaten.
"It's worthy of being a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes!" Yuen Long smiled helplessly. Although they have only known each other for more than a day now, under the stirring of Zheng Yang and his party yesterday, and the discussion of life between the three of them in the evening, their relationship has gone beyond ordinary nodding friends, and they naturally don't care too much about these trivial matters, and Wang Shentong and Yilin's casualness makes Yuen Long feel that they regard themselves as friends.
Yuen Long wiped his hands dry, and before he could sit down, Wang Shentong asked, "Brother Yuen Long is planning to leave tomorrow?"
"Uh-huh. Yuen Long imitated Wong Shen Tong's mantra.
"Then if I ask you to write a few words, will it delay your trip?" This sentence is really scheming. Writing a few words will naturally not delay Yuen Long's trip, Yuen Long only needs to answer the word 'no', although it is a denial of the answer to 'will not delay the trip', but it also indirectly responds to the request to 'write a few words'.
"Of course not. Yuen Long said.
"That's great!" Wang Shentong pulled the tablecloth to wipe his mouth clean, he pushed open the door and walked outside, shouting downstairs: "Little Liu!"
Xiao Liu is the name of Xiao Er in the store, Wang Shentong asked clearly on the first day he came to live here, and at that time, in order to get close, Wang Shentong put his hand on Xiao Er's shoulder: "Brother Li." "The surname was guessed by Wang Shentong casually, and the reason why he guessed this surname was because the surname Li was the number one surname in Los Angeles.
"My surname is Li. Xiao Er was very confused.
Wang Shentong pretended to be even more confused: "My brother said that he had lived here before, and he told me that your surname is Li." ”
"My surname is Li," Xiao Er denied very seriously, "If you don't dislike it, just call me Xiaoliu." ”
Knowing the name is the beginning of all trouble. During the time when the two lived in the hotel, Wang Shentong asked Xiaoliu to help him do things.
"Xiaoliu help me carry some water. ”
"Little Six helps me run errands. ”
"Xiao Liuming woke me up in the morning. ”
And so on, there are too many to mention, and services like delivering breakfast to the door are what Wang Shentong asks for, and other guests can't enjoy it.
Ji Lin sometimes couldn't stand it, so he said to him: "You hate to let people pee for you." ”
At this time, Wang Shentong will reply: "I gave him a tip." And he gave a lot, every time Xiaoliu finished helping him do something, he would put his arm on someone's shoulder and say, "You are really the most down-to-earth and capable person I have ever met", and made some promises that "I will have the opportunity to hire you as my housekeeper with a high salary in the future", and let Xiaoliu go after he was happy.
Soon after Wang Shentong called Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu came up with a big bag of things on his back, and Yuen Long's chopsticks had not yet had time to be soaked.
"Isn't it a bit heavy, you are really the most down-to-earth and capable person I have ever met, and I will have the opportunity to hire you as my housekeeper with a high salary in the future." Wang Shentong gave some tips and sent Xiao Liu away happily.
Yuen Long approached the sack with a bowl of rice and looked like a coolie on the street, and the unparalleled temperament of the previous son was gone.
"This is ......" Yuen Long lifted the mouth of the sack with two fingers, "Qin?"
"Uh-huh. ”
"The workmanship is not bad," Yuen Long nodded, "it looks like it should be heavy wood products." ”
"Brother Yuen Long has good eyesight!"
"Why did Brother Wang Shen get so many pianos?" Yuen Long probably counted, there should be ten, one piano he can understand, before Wang Shentong said to ask him for music rhythm, and get a piano himself to practice, but ten......
Wang Shentong scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Yuen Long then understood.
After a hasty meal, Yuen Long began to sign: "Since you have decided to sell it, why don't you make a few more?"
"Why don't you do more?" Wang Shentong began to talk nonsense again, and Yan Lin glared at him angrily.
Yuen Long didn't understand: "Shouldn't more business be better? I'm just writing a few words, it's okay." He suddenly remembered that Wang Shentong imitated Zhu Xiaorong's signature and wrote a typo, so he joked: "Are you afraid that I can't write my own name?" ”
Wang Shentong didn't answer Yuen Long's joke: "Although the more the merrier, there is also a saying that rare things are expensive, if the Yuen Long brother's signature piano is flooded, what is the difference between it and the ordinary piano on the market." ”
Yuen Long nodded thoughtfully: "I see." ”
"Brother Yuen Long's signature can be used freely!" Wang Shentong said when he saw Yuen Long's signature stroke by stroke.
Yuen Long smiled: "Because of the name Yuen Long, the person who bought the piano has some understanding of me, my signature has always been like this, decent, if you suddenly change the style, people will doubt the authenticity of your piano, it's just ......" He remembered Zheng Yang's words yesterday, "In this Los Angeles, there are very few people who know the piano, and the name of Yuen Long is probably not enough to boost sales, and at that time, Brother Wang Shen should not blame me." ”
Wang Shentong squatted down: "Brother Yuen Long is not afraid that I will damage your reputation, I am already grateful, where is there any blame." Besides, Yuen Long brothers are high and low, and there are many mediocre people in the world, and it is their loss if they don't understand the piano. ”
Wang Shentong said in his heart, after having the idea of selling the piano last night, he went out early this morning, and then the farce with Zheng Yang was still hot, so he sent someone to print some leaflets, and went to the teahouse tavern to call the storyteller, and after a few hypes, it was estimated that the people in Los Angeles knew about Yuen Long by the afternoon. Yuen Long is a pure pianist, these things have always been disdainful to do, he is not stupid, he knows that this is consuming him, can he mind, it shows that he really regards Wang Shentong as a friend.
"Brother Yuen Long, this piano will take your trouble. When Yuen Long signed the last piano, Wang Shentong said suddenly.
Yuen Long wondered, "What's different about this piano?" This piano is no different from the previous one.
Wang Shentong started a different topic: "How much does Brother Yuen Long usually sell for a signed piano?"
Yuen Long said: "For this quality, it ranges from four to fifty thousand. ”
"Very fair price. Youngin nodded. It seems that being a pianist is still quite profitable, no wonder to buy so many models, Yuen Long is 50,000 yuan at will.
Wang Shentong nodded: "I'll sell it for 20,000." ”
Small profits but quick turnover, Yuen Long knows. These qin king Shentong can get the goods for a maximum of 40,000 yuan, so if they are all sold, they have already earned a lot. If the price is 50,000, the scale and wildness of a border city like Yiluo City may not be able to sell a few handfuls, but it will make less money. All in all, 20,000 is a very reasonable price.
"Will Brother Yuen Long feel that it is too cheap and disgrace his reputation?"
"I don't have a problem. Yuen Long spread his hands.
"But this piano," Wang Shentong plucked the strings casually, "I plan to sell it for 200,000 yuan." ”
"So I have to trouble Brother Yuen Long, I have to inscribe a few more words. ”
Shen Tong, the king of the piano who sold 200,000 yuan, also specially chose a delicate box, and the other nine pianos were just placed together at random.
Through a short time with Wang Shentong, Yuen Long felt more and more that he was extraordinary, and it is true that most people could easily learn his ideas, but the difference was that for Wang Shentong, these were engraved in his bones, and when he decided to do it, he would naturally do it.
Jiolin is not as active as Wang Shentong, he is more like a tree, silent, tenacious, and will not deliberately show off to get attention, but he is standing there, you can not look at him, but you can't ignore him.
"Interesting two children. Yuen Long couldn't help but look forward to their future.
