Chapter 62: An Inadvertent Discovery
Wang Wei actually ordered a bowl of shrimp today, salt and pepper shrimp, and now the unit price of a pound of shrimp is about 60 yuan, this kid has never been so extravagant before.
The dishes ordered in this small shop are all under thirty, and none of the bowls are more than thirty, and today the sun came out from the west, which seems to be thanks to Chen Dan's blessing! But soon Zao Wou-ki's eyes were attracted by the wooden bowl containing shrimp.
Wang Wei said diligently: "Chen-Dan, try the craftsmanship of this hotel owner." Chen-Dan nodded, seeing Zao Wou-Ki staring at the bowl of shrimp motionless, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the bowl of shrimp.
Wang Wei saw that they were all staring at the bowl of shrimp, so he said, "Use chopsticks! Shrimp are for eating, not for seeing." Zao Wou-Ki was speechless, and there was really only food in the eyes of foodies.
Zao Wou-Ki shouted, "Boss lady!" "Here it is!" The boss lady quickly stepped forward, "Xiao Zhao, what's wrong?
Zao Wou-Ki shook his head, pointed to the bowl containing the shrimp and said, "Boss, this bowl is very beautiful! Where did you buy it from?" As soon as Zao Wou-Ki said this, Wang Wei noticed the bowl, which was a naturally shaped wooden bowl.
The proprietress smiled, "This is what I bought! This is my uncle's own work, he also worked in this city a few years ago, and now he is old, so he went back to his hometown, he knows some manual work, and when he saw me opening a restaurant, he sent me a few wooden bowls made of root carvings, and I looked good, so I took them to load vegetables." ”
Zao Wou-Ki nodded, "This is made of a whole piece of wood?" "That's right! The wood can be whatever shape it looks like, just remove the bark, hollow out the middle, and then polish and paint." The proprietress replied.
Wang Wei finally understood Zao Wou-ki's intentions, so he asked the proprietress and said, "Boss, you seem to know very well! Many people in your family will do this?" "Not only our family, but many of our villages will do it, and root carving is a major pillar of our industry." ”
Wang Wei asked again: "How much does such a big bowl cost?" The proprietress said: "This is a few dozen yuan! Since you are so interested, I will get you one or two yuan in a while, anyway." ”
Zao Wou-Ki said: "That's great, just get us a piece, and we'll give you how much money you have." The proprietress glanced at him with a slight reproach, "If you don't have any money, isn't it just a bowl?" ”
Wang Wei rubbed his hands and said, "How embarrassing is that...... the proprietress patted him on the shoulder, "Come less, will you be embarrassed?"
The proprietress quickly brought a wooden bowl to Zao Wou-ki, and after the three of them took turns to hold it in their hands and looked at it, Zao Wou-Ki asked, "What do you think?" Chen Dan nodded, "I think it's very good! It maintains the natural shape of the wood, and it is made by hand, at least I like it very much." ”
Wang Wei said, "It's good, but the price is not cheap! A palm-sized bowl costs dozens of yuan." Zao Wou-Ki said: "The price is a bit expensive, but this kind of product is very distinctive, it not only retains the natural form of wood, but also is all handmade, with these two selling points I think it can still be operated." ”
Wang Wei threw out another question, "Can this handmade thing be mass-produced?" Chen Dan said: "Didn't the boss just say it? They can do it in many villages, and they have already formed an industry, so mass production should not be a problem." ”
Wang Wei nodded, "Okay, then I have one last question left." Zao Wou-Ki frowned, "Still have questions?" Wang Wei said: "Since it is a natural form, it means that each product is different, how do we set the price?"
Zao Wou-Ki thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to the production area and have a look! I think a lot of problems will be solved." "Okay!" Chen Dan immediately agreed, and Wang Wei naturally had no opinion. After eating, Wang Wei asked the location and route of the boss's hometown, and asked for the contact information of the boss's uncle.
Tomorrow is the weekend, the three of them discussed that they would leave early tomorrow morning, and when they went to work in the afternoon, Wang Wei took the time to buy three bullet train tickets for 7:35 tomorrow morning.
The proprietress is in J City in the province, and it takes two hours to take a train, but it takes about an hour to get to J City by bus to get to their township.
The next day, Zao Wou-Ki got up early in the morning, and the first station he arrived at was a little after seven o'clock when he arrived at the train station. After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Dan also arrived, Chen Dan was wearing short jeans, a white T-shirt, a small black backpack, and a pair of canvas shoes at his feet.
The two were chatting and waiting for Wang Wei, and seeing that the ticket inspection was about to begin, Chen Dan said: "Why hasn't Wang Fatpang arrived yet? After Zhao Wouji finished speaking, he still took out his mobile phone and called Wang Wei.
Wang Wei picked up quickly, and Zao Wou-Ki asked, "Where are you? It's time to start checking the tickets." "The road is a bit congested, and it's only two minutes away. "Then you get out of the car and run quickly." "Yes. ”
A police car was running on the road, and Wang Wei, who hung up the phone, yelled at the policeman next to him, "Brother, hurry up, drive faster! You are driving a police car, and you are not afraid of speeding, so you are about to start checking tickets!"
Wang Yuan plucked out his sore ears, "No one let you sit in my car, besides, I'm going to the police station, where am I stopping by with you? Wang Wei ......
When Wang Yuan drove the car to the train station, it was already 7:20, Wang Wei opened the car door and ran to the station with his backpack, Wang Yuan caught a glimpse of his mobile phone on the seat, and hurriedly shouted: "Mobile phone!
There were many people at the station, where did Wang Wei hear it, Wang Yuan had to get off the train with his mobile phone to chase after him. So a fat man ran in front with a backpack, and a policeman chased after him, shouting to stop as he chased.
Isn't this the police catching the thief? Many people have avoided the side, and the patrol officers at the station have noticed it and are ready to come over to intercept it.
A young man with a great sense of justice secretly stretched out his legs and mixed it, "Oops......" Wang Wei fell and ate, and the backpack in his hand flew out. The patrol officer who came over suppressed Wang Wei with a flying pounce, and then it was a capture. Wang Yuan, who arrived, opened his mouth and couldn't speak, this misunderstanding was a bit big......
Wang Wei raised his head with great effort, knocked a big bag on his head, turned his head to look at the patrol officer on his back, and then looked at Wang Yuan in front of him, and said with a crying voice: "Brother...... What are you doing here......"
Wang Yuan shook his phone, "Uh...... You forgot to take your mobile phone...... "Wang Weizhen cried, "Brother...... You are really my own brother...... "Wang Yuan......
Ten minutes before the train started, Zao Wou-Ki and Chen Dan had to check in first, and Zao Wou-Ki asked Chen Dan to get on the train first, while he watched at the door of the train.
Thanks to Wang Yuan's help, Wang Wei was able to check in. Zhao Wouji saw the trembling Wang Wei appear at the staircase, and hurriedly greeted him, "Wang Chubby, ...... here"
Wang Wei was so tired that Zao Wou-Ki helped take his backpack, "Why is it so late......?" What's the matter with the bag on your head?Which bastard did it?" Wang Wei gasped, "That...... What the bastard is...... My brother. Zao Wou-Ki......
Sitting on the train, Wang Wei drank most of the bottle of water in one go, and then told him what he had just done. Zhao Wouji was speechless when he heard this, Chen Dan laughed out loud when he heard it, and when he saw the big bag on Wang Wei's forehead, he felt that now was not the time to laugh, so he quickly covered his mouth tightly with his little hands, but it was very hard to hold back, and his little face was red.
Wang Wei is very single, "If you want to laugh, you can laugh, don't hold back a good ......" Before the words fell, Chen Dan couldn't help it, laughed, and beat the thigh of Zao Wou-Ki next to him with his hand. Zao Wou-Ki was a little puzzled, is it that funny? This girl's laughter seems to be a little low!
Along the way, Chen Dan wanted to laugh when he caught a glimpse of the bag on Wang Wei's forehead, so he quickly turned his head to look out the window. Zao Wou-Ki was bored flipping through the magazines, Wang Wei was nibbling on the chicken legs, and there was a lot of food on the table.
"Wuji, do you want to have some?" Zhao Wuji looked at the chicken legs, chicken wings, and beef jerky on his table, shook his head, and said, "Uh...... Wang Chubby, don't you feel greasy after eating such meat early in the morning?" "How come?" Chen Dan, do you want it?" Chen Dan waved his hand, "No...... I don't, thank you. ”
During the two-hour journey, Wang Wei spent an hour dealing with food, and his backpack was full of snacks and drinks, and then another hour was spent catching up on sleep. Zao Wou-Ki instantly understood why he was able to raise himself so fat.
Chen Dan was listening to music and reading comics, she was actually watching Clank Cat, Zao Wou-Ki instantly felt old, when was the last time he watched Clank Cat? Thirteen years ago or fifteen years ago?
The two-hour journey was really short, at least Wang Wei didn't sleep enough at all, he just felt like he had taken a nap, and followed Zao Wou-Ki out of the station with a yawn.
J city is not big, the bus station is not far from the train station, the three of them bought tickets and got on the bus, Zao Wou-Ki The township they are going to is remote, there is a bus every half an hour, and those big towns are sent out every fifteen minutes.
As soon as Wang Wei got in the car, she fell asleep again, but Chen Dan didn't read the comics anymore, and as soon as the car started, she looked out the window curiously, looking at the people and buildings outside the car.
There is no direct bus from the city to the township, the bus almost went around the city for most of the circle, and stopped at three small stops, pulling seven or eight more people, and then got on the highway.
When I arrived in the township, it was already past eleven o'clock, and after getting out of the car, Chen Dan felt that the sun was a little big, so he took out a peaked cap from his backpack and put on sunglasses.
Wang Wei rubbed his sleepy eyes, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and then said: "It turns out that it's time for lunch, no wonder my stomach growls." Zao Wou-Ki was really speechless.
Real foodies have requirements for eating, Wang Wei searched the Internet with his mobile phone, and locked a snack bar, the store is not big, there are quite a lot of people, and this kind of thing naturally belongs to Wang Wei. Wang Wei ordered a lot of special snacks, flat meat, yam cake, plate duck, dried bamboo shoots......
Zao Wou-Ki and Chen Dan didn't eat much, mainly to taste the taste, Wang Wei almost ate a duck by himself, and after eating, he said that he had to take two of them with him when he went back.
