Chapter One Hundred and Five: Foreign Etiquette
"Oops...... Sister Jiang, you came early enough today, I heard that you also brought foreign guests, my small shop is not suitable for receiving foreign guests, right...... Is it a violation of discipline?" When Hong Tao first arrived at the corridor, he didn't see the old hairy man in his aunt's mouth, only the young woman was chatting with Han Xue.
"What Sister Jiang! Didn't I say it, you have to call me Auntie!" the young woman patted Hong Tao on the head and smiled to correct him for using the wrong words.
"Isn't that calling you old, you look like you're in your early 2o, it's not appropriate to call you Auntie, hey, hey, hey!" Hong Tao still insisted on taking the horse down.
"It's done, don't tease you, I'm not here to make my own head today, I'm bringing foreign guests, you make a head for them, there will be a banquet tomorrow, but they don't like the type in the hall, I just think of you here, don't worry about discipline or something, this is a comrade from the security section of our unit, with him, you won't be disciplined, I'll call them, they are also very interested in your clothes." The young woman gestured to a middle-aged man sitting in the corner, and walked briskly to the tailor's shop.
"Oh...... Jiang, this is what you call a young teacher, and he is too young, isn't he?" Soon, the young woman came out of the back room with two foreign women, who were about the same age, between 3o and 4o years old, and were wearing light-colored suits and very high heels on their feet. As soon as they opened their mouths, Hong Tao could hear that most of these two were from the United States, and their English pronunciation was not so hard.
"I didn't believe it at first, but I'm really the first to do it here, are you still interested in trying it?" the young woman also spoke fluent English, but preferred British English.
"What do you mean, Pierce?" asked a woman with a long golden head and another brown-headed one.
"I don't care, I'll try it for you! Hey, you...... Okay!" the brown-headed woman split a big scarlet mouth, and tried to pop out two Chinese words at Hong Tao, which is Hong Tao, and changing a child standing here can make her cry in fear.
"Hi, hello!" Hong Tao smiled and made a gesture to sit down.
"Jiang, I want that spring-like type, just like that colleague of yours, do you remember?" After the woman named Pierce sat down, she began to communicate with the young woman in English, trying to make it clear what kind of type she wanted.
"Do you remember that colleague of mine? I see that their hot heads are like springs...... "The young woman is in trouble, and her colleagues often come to Hong Tao to make their heads, and she doesn't know which one the foreign guest is talking about.
"I have a photo here, as well as a picture of the type I drew, you can pick one for her, Sister Daling, bring our type booklet. Hong Tao had already understood, he directly asked his cousin to bring over the pattern album he had made, in addition to the photos, there were many hand-painted graphics, because not every guest is willing to leave their photos as displays, and if there is no model, they have to rely on Hong Tao's hand-drawing.
"Oh, I love this...... That's not bad, Laura, which one do you think I'm going to choose? There are more models here than in New York, and I'm dazzled...... You help me!" When that Pierce opened the album, he was no longer calm, and he forgot her identity, kept shouting, pulled her companion along, and simply stopped talking about what he was doing, and concentrated on turning the pages one by one.
"Sister Jiang, they don't understand Chinese, right?" Hong Tao knew that these two would not make a decision if they did not read this large book of photos and drawings, and he was not in a hurry to urge them, but asked the young woman in a low voice.
"I don't understand!" the young woman shook her head.
"At that moment, I will charge them more, do you have no opinion? Foreign guests eat and stay at the same price as us Chinese, and the head must not be the same, you say?" Hong Tao is planning to heat the knife quickly, one bald one.
"Ahh......h How much are you going to charge?" the young woman asked Hong Tao stunned, she probably had never thought about this question.
"Why do you have to calculate it in dollars, oh, by the way, do they have to pay me foreign exchange coupons? If you pay foreign exchange coupons, I'll give them a discount, and double it, Sino-US friendship, what do you think?" Hong Tao suddenly remembered a very important question, which should have been thought of a few days ago, but unfortunately he forgot it.
"Pay back the dollar! Pay back the foreign exchange papers! This is disciplined, you don't have the right to receive foreign exchange papers here, I can only pay you RMB, why do you want foreign exchange papers?" The young woman made Hong Tao stunned, she couldn't figure out where a primary school student knew these things.
"Hey, hey, hey...... You have deceived me again, if they are disciplined, they should not come to me, since they have made an exception once, let me break it again, I want foreign exchange rolls are of great use, I want to buy a washing machine in the friendship store, you see I have to wash so many towels here every day, in the winter swallows' hands are frozen and cracked, and the towels are cleaned, isn't it better to serve the people. Hong Tao smiled treacherously and treacherously, because he had another way to make money.
"Hey, I really haven't seen it, you still know so many things! But today I can't give you foreign exchange papers, this is a violation of discipline, so let's do it, I'll help you change a little in two days, let you buy a washing machine, it's done?" The young woman's eyes were about to pop out, there are very few people who know these tricks in this era, and the foreign exchange paper has just been in line, not to mention the common people, even government agencies and large shopping malls have never seen this kind of thing, but the elementary school student in front of him said it so naturally, as if he had used it.
Next year, I plan to expand this place a bit, and then add some beauty equipment, so that after you get off work, you can rest while doing beauty treatment. As soon as Hong Tao heard that the young woman had a way to exchange foreign exchange papers, he immediately stretched out two fingers, and the price rose in an instant.
"Cheng, let's talk about it later, you serve the foreign guests first, and the rest of the things will be easy to say!" The young woman didn't have time to ask Hong Tao anything, she still had to take care of the two foreign guests.
In the end, it took the two foreign guests half an hour to finish reading a large album, and Pierce chose the crystal perm, while Laura had to make her hair straight and get her bangs. Hong Tao doesn't mind them tossing their heads poorly, it doesn't matter if you just want to shave into a bald scoop, his mind is now full of three words: foreign exchange volume!
With these two foreign ladies sitting in the corridor, the people who came to make the head did not dare to come in, and they all gathered at the door of the corridor to watch from afar. The security officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was sitting in the room, also went out and muttered to the police officer for a while before returning and continuing to sit in the corner like a wood without speaking.
This is the first time Hong Tao has given a head to a foreigner, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, worried that due to the different races, the quality will be very different. But after applying the cold perm, he was relieved that the white man's head was softer and easier to cold perm, and it took less time. When it was finally completed, Pierce had turned into a curly dog, and Laura had a straight head like a golden waterfall, and Hong Tao also specially repaired her with curved bangs, which were buckled on the door of her head, like an 18-year-old girl.
The two foreign guests were very satisfied, squatted down in turn, and gave Hong Tao a look on the left and right cheeks, and saw that the women in the room closed their eyes. Hong Tao didn't plan to let them go like this, he took out his camera innocently, and then gestured to himself and the two foreign guests. The two foreign guests quickly understood, happily holding Hong Tao's little hand, and took a photo with Hong Tao in the room of the corridor, but Hong Tao was not satisfied, and forcibly escorted Sister Han Xue and Sister Da Ling to take a group photo together.
"Auntie! Next time there are foreign guests, regardless of men and women, if I ask you to take a group photo, you have to take a group photo, don't ask why, this is discipline, my grandfather said, you have to listen to me about things in the store, or I will sue my grandfather!" As soon as the foreign guests left, Hong Tao rushed to the tailor's shop, and shouted in the ears of the aunt.
"Shameless, why don't I let them hold and gnaw?" The aunt glanced at Hong Tao with disdain, and she blushed when she said it.
"Hee-hee-hee......" came from the snickering of several other girls.
"Laugh at the fart, look at your little bit of talent, hide when you see foreigners, they are not human, Yanzi, come here, let me practice the etiquette of foreigners!" Hong Tao knew that it was useless to say anything to them, customs and concepts could not be changed by saying a few words.
"Practice...... What etiquette do you practice?" Han Yan really came over stupidly.
"You sit here, I'll teach you!" Hong Tao pointed to the small stool next to the sewing machine.
"......" Han Yan sat up straight.
"Oops...... Sister, he bullied me, pulled his ear!" As soon as Han Yan sat down, Hong Tao grabbed her head, took a bite on her face, and then ran out of the door. Only then did Han Yan realize that she had been tricked again, so she stood up and chased after her, calling Han Xue for help while chasing back.
"Hahahahaha......" Hong Tao sneak attacked, naturally he ran fast, today he gained a lot, doubling the head money and secretly kissing Han Yan is just a small gain, finding the way to exchange foreign exchange rolls and receiving foreign guests and taking pictures, this is the main thing.
Hong Tao is not an activist who admires foreign flattery, but with this name and photo, his two small shops have an extra layer of protective film. In the early days of reform and opening up, who can be on the list of foreigners' big thick legs, not only the common people will look up to you, but even the government departments will give special treatment, as for why, you can't say why......
