Chapter 14: The Piano Tuner

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Xiao Jinluo returned to the dormitory, and she hurriedly threw today's booty on the bed and counted it.

Clothes, pants, quilts, and daily necessities are all available from top to bottom, inside and out.

Looking at this mountain of loot, Xiao Jinluo was very satisfied. Even if you live in school, even if you don't have the love of your parents, you can't wronged yourself, only those who know how to be good to themselves know how to be good to others.

Xiao Jinluo, who was still in happiness, suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something. She took the schoolbag that was already in the corner, opened the purse and looked at it carefully.

Mom, there is not much left of the living expenses given to her by the principal, how should she live in the future?

She won't go to the principal. From the day she returned to school, she decided that she wanted to fend for herself. Now it seems that this idea has to be brought forward.

Tomorrow, I will go to the school near the school to see if I can find a part-time job on the weekend or a job that does not interfere with my studies.

Because he was looking for a job, Xiao Jinluo got up early the next day and packed up. As she was about to step out of the bedroom door, she didn't forget to take a picture in front of the dressing mirror. This is her habit, and she must check whether she is dressed neatly before going out every day.

In the mirror, she is wearing a white top, light blue jeans, and white boots. The white clothes lined Xiao Jinluo's skin more white and tender; Because her pants were tucked into her shoes, her legs appeared more slender and straight. Xiao Jinluo patted his little face with satisfaction and went out.

Xiao Jinluo stood at the entrance of the school and rubbed his hands, looking at the busy scene on the street in front of him.

Let's solve the stomach problem first. Looking at the small shops one by one, soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, fried buns, oil cakes, as well as all kinds of porridge, rice soup, wheat kernel soup, tofu brain, oil silk rolls, steamed buns...... There were also some soups and cakes that she couldn't name.

The owners of the snack bar greeted the customers warmly, including Xiao Jinluo, who was still hesitant and didn't know what to eat.

"Sister, what do you want to eat, come in and see, how cold it is outside!"

"Uh...... I don't know ...... either."

She really didn't know that within a few days of coming to this city, the food in the north was limited to a few things in the cafeteria.

"Come in and sit and watch slowly, choose slowly!"

Finally unable to withstand the enthusiasm of the boss, Xiao Jinluo walked in and chose a porridge and cake that he had never eaten before. It tastes weird, and it seems that it is a long-term process to adapt to the living habits of the north. Before, I was worried that I would gain weight, which was purely superfluous.

After breakfast, other shops on the street opened one after another. Because it is near the school, it is mainly food, clothing, and stationery. However, the closer you get to Polytechnic University, the more diverse the shops become. Water bar, bar, slow shake bar, handicraft shop, hairdresser, florist......

Xiao Jinluo thought about what he could do as he walked.

She stopped in front of a piano shop. Of course, she was not attracted by the sound of playing the piano, but by a recruitment notice at the door of the piano store.

Recruit piano tuners

Request:

1. Have a full understanding of the structural principle design of the piano;

2. Be able to sort out and deal with some faults such as noise, resonance, combo, and key failure of the piano;

3. Be patient, enthusiastic, meticulous, thoughtful, have good communication skills, and be able to deal with complex problems.

4. Relevant work experience is preferred.

Xiao Jinluo happily walked into the door of the piano shop. There are a variety of musical instruments in the piano shop, Xiao Jinluo looked at it, most of them can be, although they are not proficient.

"Girl, do you want to learn the piano or buy the piano, look at it casually, you need to call me as soon as possible!"

"Boss, are you looking for a piano tuner here?"

"Yes, I can't be busy alone, especially on weekends, and I have to go home to spend time with my children and wife. What does this do, you ask? ”

"Do you think I can do it?"

"Oh, you! How old are you, how many years have you been learning piano, do you know anything about piano? Do you know what a tuner does? ”

“…… Isn't the job posting on your door clearly written? ”

"That's it, look at you are beautiful and still in school! Let's go back to studying! ”

"Boss, how do you know if you don't try!"

"Yo, it's not a small tone at a young age!"

"Come here, this is the piano brought by a guest yesterday, there are eight keys that can't be missed, can you handle it?"

Xiao Jinluo walked to the piano, opened the top cover of the piano, and removed it to the door. First check whether the weak sound felt curtain has fallen or sunk, and no problems are found.

So gently step on the soft sound pedal with your foot, so that the whole row of felt hammers gently move away from the hammer handle and move towards the steel wire, until the soft sound pedal is stepped on to the end, and then gently relax the soft sound pedal, and the whole row of felt hammers all return to the hammer handle file.

It seems that the reason for "the keys are not good" lies in the keys themselves. Xiao Jinluo couldn't carefully observe whether the keys themselves were deformed, but the keys were not deformed.

The problem must be with the rectangular flat pin hole at the bottom of the key and the positioning hole in the middle of the key. Xiao Jinluo pressed down the white keys adjacent to the white keys to expose the faulty white keys, and then used the ten fingers of both hands to grasp the root of the wooden part of the faulty keys as much as possible, and shook them in parallel from side to side with a little force. Soon the white keys flicked up. The black keys in question are also dealt with this method.

The owner of the piano shop looked at Xiao Jinluo, nodded in disbelief and said, "If you can repair the piano, you must also be able to tune it, play the piano, try the piano you repaired." ”

Xiao Jinluo gently adjusted one string of the same note in the middle and high registers, and then tuned the rest of the strings of this note. After adjusting, Xiao Jinluo's fingers danced on the keys like elves.

A beautiful song "Olive Tree" flowed from Xiao Jinluo's fingertips.

Don't ask me where I'm from

My hometown is far away

Why wandering

Wandering far away

stray

For the birds that fly in the sky

For a creek that flows lightly in the mountains

For the sake of the wide steppe

Wandering far away

stray

And also

And also

More for the olive tree of the dream

……

Xiao Jinluo's thoughts were carried far, far away by the song.

A 5-year-old girl taps the keys of the piano with her immature little hands. She has just learned to play the three notes of DoReSi with her middle finger, and the teacher is now teaching her how to change from one finger to three fingers to play the three notes of one, two, and four beats. The little girl always plays wrong, and she is a little clumsy.

One moment the hand shape is not done well, one moment forgets the beat, one forgets the sound, and the other uses the wrong finger. She was so angry that she didn't want to learn anymore. At this time, the beautiful piano teacher did not continue to force her to study, but temporarily stopped her, and then played a song "Liang Zhu" with her fingers smart.

She didn't understand the meaning of the tune, she just thought the music was good, and the teacher was gentle and beautiful. The warmth and brightness of the morning sprinkled on the teacher's body seemed to give her a beautiful halo. Her whole being exudes unparalleled beauty.

At that time, she was fascinated by the piano, and later she overcame many difficulties, and by the time of her death, she had been studying the piano for 21 years. It's not much different from when I was learning taekwondo. These are also the two things she insisted on best in her previous life. It can be said that these two things are the only things that she can be proud of all her life.
