Chapter 12: Storytelling
"Ah Qiu, you must stay for such a great work!" The old man said to the man with a smile. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Uncle Zheng, others didn't come to let me collect old goods, but to let me consign them!" The man who was called Ah Qiu said to the old man with a smile.
"I mean to let you stay so I can help him sell it!" The old man hurriedly added.
"So, are you sure you want to keep this work with me and sell it? IMHO, in my case, things generally don't sell at a price, unless you meet someone who knows the goods. Ah Qiu looked at Ye Yun Zhengse and said.
"It doesn't matter, for me, as long as I can sell it, I'm not so greedy." Ye Yun shook his head and said indifferently.
"That's good, then I'll keep this thing." Ah Qiu said and accepted the dragon-shaped wood carving, and at the same time stood up and walked outside the counter, placing the dragon-shaped wood carving on the shelf.
"So what's your ideal price?" Ah Qiu asked Ye Yun as he posed.
"It's okay to have as many prices as you like." Ye Yun didn't know how to make a price, so he shrugged and said.
"You're really free, then I'll help you make a price! You can come back every few days, and if you sell, I'll give you the rest, except for a 10% commission. Ah Qiu shook his head, but he accepted it, and at the same time explained his rules.
"Then please." Ye Yun, who had completed one thing, said with a happy smile.
At the same time, after watching Ah Qiu put the wood carvings on the shelves and turned back to the counter at the same time, Ye Yun also turned around and prepared to leave.
"Little brother, don't you stay and have a cup of tea together?" The old man who had just spoken out invited with a smile.
"Yes, yes, but it's not tea, it's coffee! The coffee here is delicious. The tattooed sister also said.
"Drink coffee just drink coffee! You young people love coffee, unlike us who are older, who still prefer tea! The old man shook his head, and said with an unfamiliar look, the look of treating the tattooed sister as a helpless junior is really not like an old man's attitude when facing the group of gangster sisters, which makes people feel strange.
"Do you want coffee? Or you can drink tea! Ah Qiu, who is the store manager, also asked with a smile behind the counter.
"Do you still sell coffee and tea?" Ye Yun said curiously.
"No, it's free coffee and tea, but you have to tell a story." Aqiu shrugged and said.
"Storytelling?" Ye Yun was stunned for a moment.
"That's right, it's storytelling, it's my unique rule here, whether it's coffee or tea, you need to exchange it with a story, of course, you can refill it indefinitely." Ah Qiu said with a smile on his face.
"That's a funny rule! Then I'll tell you a story. Ye Yun was aroused, and sat down in front of the counter with a smile and said.
"What do you want to drink? Coffee or tea? Ah Qiu asked.
"The coffee is good, although the tea is also very good, but as the old gentleman just said, as a young man, you should still drink coffee!" Ye Yun said with a smile.
"yes, I'll just say I want coffee! Brother, you're very good! The sister patted Ye Yun on the shoulder very familiarly, and Ye Yun didn't care, just smiled kindly.
"Okay, wait a minute! You can also think about what story to tell during this time! Qiu smiled and nodded, then took out the coffee beans and began to grind them.
"Well, can you tell any story? Are there any rules? Ye Yun thought for a while and asked.
"Of course, you can tell anything, whether it's a story you heard, a story from a book, or a story you experienced, even if it's a story you made up!" Aqiu shrugged and replied with the rustle of coffee beans grinding.
"Let me think!" Ye Yun nodded, hundreds of years of experience echoed in his mind, whether it was his own experience or the stories he had heard, there were countless stories, but Ye Yun didn't know what to tell for a while.
As a result, in the entire Aqiu grocery store, only the sound of Aqiu grinding coffee beans remained.
Whether it was the old man who drank tea or the young lady who drank coffee, they all waited quietly for Ye Yun to speak.
Soon, Ah Qiu's coffee was brewed, and there was a strong aroma of coffee in the air, just smelling this aroma, you could feel the exquisite craftsmanship of Ah Qiu.
Then Ah Qiu brought the brewed coffee to Ye Yun and put it down, which could be regarded as waking up Ye Yun who seemed to be contemplative.
"Thank you!" Ye Yun thanked him.
"You're welcome." Ah Qiu nodded lightly, without the slightest intention of urging Ye Yun to tell the story quickly.
Ye Yun took the coffee first and tasted it gently, and then his eyes lit up.
"It's delicious, this craft is enough to open a coffee shop." Ye Yun said appreciatively.
"yes, yes? Let me tell you, Brother Aqiu's craftsmanship is the best I think after drinking so many coffee shops. Taimei immediately said happily.
"That's right, it's a pity that Ah Qiu's craftsmanship doesn't open a store, and we have persuaded him, but he said that he likes it like it is now, so everyone can't help it." The old man shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"Everyone has a life they like, and this is the life I like." Ah Qiu just said lightly.
"Yes, it's actually a very happy thing to be able to stick to the life you like!" Ye Yun nodded with some emotion and said.
"So sometimes I still envy Brother Aqiu." The younger sister looked at Ah Qiu with envy.
"Okay, okay, I said, are you off topic? Isn't it time for this little brother to tell a story? The old man saw that everyone was about to digress, so he quickly took it back and said.
"Oh, yes, yes, little brother, how is your story ready? Have you thought about it? The sister also hurriedly asked, with an expression of waiting to hear the story.
"After thinking about it, then I'll tell you a story about the past, which happened eight hundred years ago, before the Yuan Sheng and the Peach Blossom Fairy met, there was a story about the Peach Blossom Fairy, and I think not many people should know this story." Ye Yun looked straight ahead, but his eyes were unfocused, as if he was recalling something.
"The story of 800 years ago? Seems to be a lot of fun! Taimei's eyes lit up and said.
And the rest, whether it was Ah Qiu or the old man, all stopped what they were doing, and everyone quietly listened to the story told by Ye Yun, and only Ye Yun's voice was left in the grocery store for a while.
