Chapter 13: Gifts (2)
"Make a gift? However, I don't know how to do handicrafts. "Although Tao Tao's mention of yì sounds very interesting, but all I know since I was a child is origami, and this level is still far from being a gift.
"You don't need to be able to do handicrafts," Su Taotao waved his hand, indicating that it was not so troublesome: "Many people don't know how to do it like you, but the store will have models, and some will teach you in person, as long as you follow it, you can get started quickly." Well, I know that there is a pottery gift shop in the neighborhood, and another one can make handmade chocolates, so why don't you go and see it first? ”
Lu Zhen was a little moved by what Su Taotao said, and besides, the two of them couldn't come up with other ideas, so they agreed to her suggestion. Compared with Lu Zhen, the main owner who wanted to buy gifts, Su Taotao was more excited.
"Actually, I've long wanted to make something by myself, and when you watch what you make become a handicraft, isn't it very rewarding? But every time they go out with friends, they only care about shopping and shopping, what a group of superficial and uninteresting people, hum. But I believe that you are not such a person, right, Lu Zhen. ”
Lu Zhen chuckled, in his cognition, it seems that all women like to go shopping and buy things, and this is the first time I have heard a different answer from the mouths of women. This "neither superficial nor interesting" Su Taotao is really special.
The two of them were talking and laughing - in fact, it was mainly Su Taotao who was talking, and Lu Zhen was in charge of laughing, so he went to the pottery museum that Su Taotao said. There are a few young people who look like students sitting in twos and threes, and they are fiddling with clay under the guidance of the boss, and occasionally there are a few exclamations, it is a boy who smeared the mud in his hand on the face of the girl next to him, and the two of them are playing back and forth. Su Taotao somehow remembered the classic plot in "People and Ghosts", where the male protagonist sat behind the female protagonist and held the female protagonist's hand.
I remember that when I watched the movie, Su Taotao also sighed that foreigners are really good at playing, and even playing with mud can be so romantic, and when she finds a boyfriend, she will try it like this. Yunxiu next to him was disdainful, saying that I don't know if you and your boyfriend can play mud and have romance, but it is more likely that a violent person like you will beat your boyfriend into a ghost relationship. Of course, Yunxiu also paid a considerable price for her words - Su Taotao threatened to tell Yunxiu's mother about her early love with the boy in the next class, and it was not until she promised to buy Su Taotao breakfast for a week that she kept the secret.
But I have to say that Yunxiu still knows Su Taotao very well, and her lively and jumpy personality is really not suitable for this kind of difficult handmade zuò. After failing to pull the cone on the turntable of the blank drawing machine for the third time, Su Taotao looked at the mud on his hands and the appearance of the boss wanting to say goodbye, and finally admitted that he was not this material, and gave up the idea of doing it with his boyfriend in the future. Turning his head to look at Lu Zhen, who had been silent, Su Taotao suddenly felt that she was not even as good as a man in handiwork, and she was simply a woman in vain.
Compared with Su Taotao, who was gearing up to show his skills from the moment he entered the door, and completely forgot that he just said "take a look first" before, Lu Zhen was much calmer. When Su Taotao pestered the boss to choose the mud, Lu Zhen first browsed the finished products of other customers in the store, then looked at the process of making zuò hanging in the store, and then observed the process of making zuò for the student couple next to him, and then began to carefully select and knead the mud. Therefore, although Lu Zhen, who started late, surpassed Su Taotao and began to open the hole and shape.
"Didn't you say you didn't know how to do handicrafts, you lied to me." Su Taotao said that she was not jealous at all, but she was just angry that Lu Zhen was hiding the truth from her. As for the sour tone, it was because she didn't control her feelings for a while.
How could Lu Zhen, who has always been sensitive, not hear what Su Taotao meant, although she also wanted to laugh at her quick temper and couldn't do such a thing, but it was not good for her to be too embarrassed. The girl is thin-skinned, and if she stuns herself with a knife like last time, he will be the one who will be embarrassed. So Lu Zhen decided to avoid the important and give her a step down.
"Actually, I also saw that after you failed a few times, you summed up your experience and did it so smoothly, so I want to thank you for saving me a lot of effort."
"Wow, you're really bad, other people's failures are the mother of your success, and you're very good at opportunism." Although she was still a little frustrated, she hadn't forgotten what today's theme was, and it was more important that Lu Zhen could make it smoothly.
In the next time, Su Taotao watched Lu Zhen do it intently, he was so serious about making gifts, he didn't have the gentle but lazy appearance before, he was more focused, and he was even seven points similar to Mr. Lu. Sure enough, the brothers still have similarities, but Lu Zhen does not have the domineering momentum of Mr. Lu, and it is easier for people to get close. Su Taotao looked at his side face, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Sober up, although he is Mr. Lu's younger brother, they are two completely different people. You just decided to give up Mr. Lu, you can't be so watery Yanghua, you will be a nymphomaniac when you see a handsome guy, you have to be calm and calm. Su Taotao quickly retracted his gaze and looked around, but he didn't look at Lu Zhen anymore.
This time, Lu Zhen, who devoted himself to the zuò project, did not notice the change in Su Taotao's feelings, and gradually began to bear fruit under the guidance of the owner of the pottery shop. He placed the shovel blade at the bottom of the pot with one hand and the body of the pot with the other, and quickly shoveled the pot from the turntable to the plastic plate. Fortunately, the clay pot was not deformed, and he succeeded.
"Success, success, I didn't expect you to do so well the first time, it's not like a novice." Su Taotao's attention shifted from Lu Zhen to the clay pot he made, and he was even more excited than himself.
Lu Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he didn't want to see the hard work he had done for so long being wasted and turned into a puddle of mud. Fortunately, the luck is not bad, although it is not yet a finished product, but it is one step closer to success.
"The appliqué looks so feminine, Mr. Lu won't like it. It's better for you to make a Lu Zong's genus and stick it on, or directly engrave it on it, isn't it more commemorative. ”
"That's a good idea, Tao Tao is simply my lucky star, and everything you do today is so smooth."
"Whereever, it's your own understanding that is good." Su Taotao repeatedly said that she didn't dare to take credit, after all, it was Lu Zhen who contributed to everyone, and she could only come up with ideas on the side.
Lu Zhen didn't entangle her on this issue, after repairing the billet, he handed over the clay pot to the boss, and set to pick it up a week later to wash his hands, but when he came back, he saw Su Taotao still looking left and right at his clay pot, like a child, and couldn't help but be a little funny.
"What, didn't I carve it well?"
"No, no, it's so good, it's so lifelike." Su Taotao immediately denied it, she felt that her kung fu was becoming more and more proficient, and she had reached the level of opening her eyes and telling nonsense. Because she just discovered that although Lu Zhen is simply self-taught in some skills, in terms of art, it is really miserable. Because she looked at it for a long time just now, she didn't see what kind of animal Lu Zhen carved on the jar.
Lu Zhen, who knew her level, felt that she was probably comforting herself by saying this, so she decided to ignore the smile on the corner of Su Taotao's mouth that couldn't be hidden. Looking at the time, it was already noon, and I didn't expect it to take so long to make a small jar.
"Thank you so much today, it's been a boring morning. I'm in for a treat at noon, do you have anything you want to eat? "People have been with him all morning, why should I show something, and besides, after a busy morning, he is also a little hungry.
