Chapter 230: Storytelling
The business in Zhang's shopkeeper's shop is not bad, although it is not as hot as when the sales of sweaters were booming before, but the business is still much better than before the sales of sweaters.
Seeing Erya coming, Shopkeeper Zhang was like seeing his mother, excited and enthusiastic to welcome him into the shop.
They sat down, and when it came to the sweater, Erya explained: "Uncle Zhang! It's not that it can't be reduced, the point is that it's not the way for me to reduce the price at the moment. Think about it! How much does this have to be lowered? We can't keep tossing behind someone's ass, he descends and I descend, and then he descends again, and then I descend again, and so on, and in the end, I don't have to descend, then my workshop can't go on. So, tell me about it! Why should I bother with this? Doing business can be competitive, but the final result of competition cannot be a lose-lose situation, and doing too many things that harm others and are not beneficial to oneself will be punished by God. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang knew that Erya had already thought about this matter carefully, and this time he really understood Erya. He asked with a bitter face, "Then that's it?" ”
Erya smiled and shook her head: "How can it!" I can't have planted a big tree by myself and let someone else pick the fruit. I'll let them earn some first, lest they lose and lose money. If something happens, I'll be upset! ”
Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes lit up, and he asked in a nervous whisper: "What?" Girl! Do you have a way? ”
"Of course there is a way, but it's not time yet! I can't just shoot, and once I do, I have to let the opponent not even have a chance to fight back. Otherwise, it's what I just said, a lose-lose outcome. ”
In fact, it is because the braiding machine has not yet been able to be put into use. And Er Ya has already thought that once the weaving machine can be put into use, he will choose one of those houses in the town. Then select the women of the Jin family and some trustworthy girls and widows in the town, and work behind closed doors. The stitching work can be taken out and found to be a good needle and thread person to do it, and this person who doesn't care about the workmanship is worth trusting. No matter how incompetent, she can't let others know that her family has a special machine. Except for the couple and the Jin family, as well as the workers who operated the machine, everyone else could hide it.
However, it doesn't matter if Er Ya can say it clearly. For the shopkeeper, as long as there is a way, he is always passive like this, which is really uncomfortable in his heart. It was as if he was the shopkeeper who was incompetent, which was unacceptable to him.
Originally, Erya still wanted to talk about the towel, but when he saw that the guy had already sold it to the customer, he felt that he didn't need to say anything.
Coming out of the Hongxiu Workshop. Erya went to find a needle making workshop specializing in making all kinds of needles. Thousands of crochet hooks of various sizes and sizes she knitted by herself. There is also a special crochet needle for making shoes, and she plans to make rabbit fur boots first and sell them to the north. She actually wanted to get the sewing machine out, but she couldn't figure out the most critical piece of the whole sewing machine, she really had more than enough heart, but her intellectual skills couldn't keep up!
She then went to the blacksmith shop where she made her special honeycomb coal molds. If there is any special ironware that needs to be made by the blacksmith shop, she will first think of coming here. This smithy shop was the one where she first made an axe for weapons.
The old man, who had helped her fight several times with strange things in the ancient world, grinned when he saw her from afar. Asked jokingly: "Little lady! Are you here to get something? Or are you trying to figure out something weird to test me again? ”
Er Ya pretended to be serious, and replied with a stern face: "This time, I may really be difficult to live with you, master." She said. He took out the messy drawings from his backpack and said, "Look at it, I'm afraid you can't make such a planer, right?" ”
Erya was holding a spiral mouth turning knife drawing, because she always couldn't draw the plane shape of the spiral, so it looked weird and messy.
It was despised by others! The master, who has always believed in his superb skills, felt very unenthusiastic in his heart, and he was originally grinning and unhappily. I took the drawings and looked at them for a long time and didn't understand them, so I was very angry but didn't dare to say that I couldn't understand them, so I had to brave the sparks and ask, "What are you drawing?" It's a bit like a snail, but it doesn't have that pointed back tail, what kind of planer is this? ”
Erya knew that her painting skills were limited, and she was not cheeky, so she only smiled and explained: "Oops! Master, that's it. That is, the planer is not pushed one after the other, but fixed in one place and does not move, the other side turns the shaker, and then pushes the plank that needs to be planed along the platform with the planing edge, and the plank can be planed. ”
Seeing that the master still didn't understand, Erya changed the way of explanation and said: "Master, the current planed board surface is fixed with the wooden board, and the planer is used to polish it back and forth. And my purpose is to fix the planer and push the planks to achieve the same purpose of planing. The master may understand at this time? ”
The old master nodded, frowned and said, "I kind of understand!" I can think about it slowly. ”
Erya also proposed a series of special tools for machinery, such as circular saws and prismatic carving knives. These things, the master knows how to make zuò as soon as he hears them.
Since he came to Fucheng, he must go to see Shopkeeper Chen, and bring the iron mold used to make briquettes out of the blacksmith shop, and Erya turned his head to go to Shopkeeper Chen's place to have a look. Otherwise, when the shopkeeper Chen knew that she was coming, but he didn't go to his place, he would definitely have to nag.
At the end of the afternoon and Shen Shi, it was the best time for Bai Laoju's business, and the hall and private rooms were full of people. The storyteller also came over and started his special session.
There are many customers, and everyone in the store has to get busy, even the shopkeeper Chen did not sit on the side to play chess and chatte as usual, but was busy filling tea in the teapot that customers asked for at the counter. Er Ya entered the old Bai residence, walked to the stool next to the counter where a guy was resting, and listened silently to the storyteller who was a little interesting and a little colored about the talented and beautiful woman. Erya began to feel a little disgusted when she listened to it, how could such a high-end teahouse be said to be so vulgar, superficial and some stories that tempted readers to do evil!
The original Erya liked to listen to Liu Lanfang's commentary "The Demon King of the Mixed World, Cheng Bites Gold". That's the storyteller's classic. At that time, there were no other entertainment programs, only listening to commentary on the radio, which Liu Lanfang said Cheng Biting Jin. Er Ya never gets tired of listening, and when he eats, he has to laugh from time to time while listening and eating, and the rice particles in his mouth are all over the place, and he is often scolded by the master, and once he was really over, and he was almost beaten.
Now think about it, Liu Lanfang can put a person in it just by relying on her voice. The distinctive personality and vivid people can hear and imagine it, which has always made Erya feel incredible. There are dozens of characters who need to speak, and Liu Lanfang can tell everyone's speaking characteristics, voice characteristics, old and young, male, female, and eunuch. Imitated vividly. She didn't need to describe or name the person beforehand, so that people could know who it was at a glance.
The storyteller in front of him doesn't mean that he can't tell stories. He's actually quite good at making jokes, and he can often make his audience laugh. But. To put it more clearly, it's more like a cross talker.
Shopkeeper Chen, who was free, looked at Erya, who didn't know where he had gone, and couldn't help asking, "What do you want?" ”
Erya looked up at Shopkeeper Chen and shook her head: "I didn't think about anything!" I just feel that this storyteller is not good! Why didn't your family invite that good storyteller over? ”
Shopkeeper Chen replied with a smile: "This gentleman was not specially invited by my family, he borrowed my place to tell stories to earn some rewards." If he's serious, he'll have to pay me the venue fee! ”
"Uncle! Have you ever thought about inviting a great storyteller to come over and open the show? ”
Shopkeeper Chen replied: "This is the best." Where else to find the best! ”
Because I thought of the previous world again, Erya was a little lonely. She shook her head wistfully and said, "No! I've heard a hundred times better than what he said, and even if I learn a few words from that man, I can be much better than this gentleman. ”
When Shopkeeper Chen heard Erya say this, his curiosity was also aroused, and he asked with great interest: "Oh! It's true? Can you tell me a few words now? ”
Erya raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Cut!" What's so hard about that?! But I can't say it here, or the storyteller will think I'm here to smash the scene. ”
Shopkeeper Chen muffled his throat, laughed as low as he could, and did not forget to squeeze Erya while choking his throat: "You said that you are fat and you are still panting, just like you, you still want to smash the field?" It's almost as good as someone smashing you! ”
As long as Er Ya thinks of that world, this mood will be uncomfortable for a while. At this time, she didn't have any love to quarrel with the shopkeeper Chen, she only put her head on her hands, and replied to the shopkeeper Chen sullenly: "Do you believe it or not!" ”
Shopkeeper Chen saw that Erya's love was not quite right, so he put aside the topic just now and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Are you worried about Xiaohu? ”
Erya shook her head, and hurriedly found a reason in a hurry: "No! I was very unhappy to hear this gentleman talk about the affair between this poor scholar and the younger sister of the official family. Isn't that harmful? ”
Shopkeeper Chen shook his head with a smile and comforted: "You kid, why are you so shallow-minded!" They just thought about good things in their hearts and were not satisfied with daydreams, so they wrote daydreams into stories to comfort their hearts. Everyone's small, sister, official family, sister, and can it be so easy to see?! Still meeting alone?! That's even more impossible. A stranger passing by in front of their house, they have to look at it for a long time, not to mention a strange man circling around the back door of the house? Besides, at night, if those families and officials were so easy to get into a weak scholar, then their family would not be stolen by thieves. You're not worried! After a while, when this gentleman finishes talking and leaves, you can tell me! I'd love to hear what better storyteller there is! ”
Erya pretended to have been persuaded by Shopkeeper Chen to untie the knot, and nodded with a smile: "Okay!" But it can't be too late, or my children will have to wait again. ”
"Okay! He only had three quarters of an hour to tell the story, and it was almost time. (To be continued......)
