Chapter 271: The First Claw Catching Machine in History
The rickshaw is parked in front of the store, and things are like the Leaning Tower of Pisa on the rickshaw, which looks like it will fall at any time.
Fujihiko and Coriander worked together to lift the cabinet-like object on the rickshaw.
The thing was quite heavy, at least heavier than the beckoning cat made of pure gold that Fujihiko had sent.
Coriander commanded the two of them as free coolies, "Be careful, don't fall, this thing is expensive." ”
The thing is not too heavy, but when it is in the car, it is crooked, and the force on the hand is uneven, which makes Fujihiko and Coriander a little difficult. Cilantro still had to go up and help. Before they came, the brother and sister had to make a lot of effort to tie things to the car, and they were afraid that they would break them, so they were even more careful and careful when they came up along the way.
Coriander stabilized the cabinet with both hands against the cabinet in front of Fujihiko Hall and Coriander, and stepped back in small steps, never idle, "It's all leisurely, this baby can't withstand a fall." ”
Fujihiko looked at her heels and said, "Be careful under your feet." ”
His voice was hoarse and magnetic, and it fluttered softly like a feather at the mouth of a man's heart.
Cilantro was distracted, and when she retreated, she didn't notice the soles of her feet, and her heels tripped over the handlebar that was pressed on the ground, and her body was planted backwards.
Seeing that Fujihiko and Coriander were shocked and moved, Coriander opened her eyes and shouted urgently, "Hold it steady, don't move!" ”
She fell this way, at most, her butt fell and blossomed, and she didn't go to see Hades immediately. But the thing broke, and the hard work of the days was in vain, and the coriander was not confident that she could repair it well.
Coriander closes her eyes and accepts the destiny of heaven. And the expected pain didn't hit, as if sitting on something. Under the effect of inertia, her body did not stop falling downward, her buttocks were sitting firmly, but her upper body was still falling backwards.
She grabbed her hands like she was drowning, and she grabbed a life-saving straw for the competition.
The grass is very strong, and it is still warm, and it feels very good to the touch...... Coriander touched two more handfuls.
There was an uproar.
In the uproar, Cilantro opened her eyes a small slit, only to see that the life-saving straw she was holding in her hand was actually a strong and powerful thigh. And under her ass sat the foot board attached to the thigh.
Seeing that the parsley was about to fall. Fujihiko didn't care about the eyes of others, and reached out at a critical moment...... feet, hooking the ass of cilantro with the foot plate.
Even if he is kind enough to help, he will inevitably be criticized.
This one is a man and one woman. The posture is so unsightly.
Thin-skinned people. Cover your eyes with your hands. People who are a little thick-skinned. Witnessing this shameful scene, they also blushed.
Today, the splendid cloth shop is newly opened, and there are still many people around to see the excitement......
The thigh was hugged by coriander, and Fujihiko couldn't pull his foot back even if he wanted to.
"It's heavy. Don't hurry up yet. "If I hold on any longer, Fujihikodo's leg will start to tremble.
"Heavy?" Coriander glared at her and reasoned with her, "This girl is so slender, you actually say I'm so heavy?" ”
As she spoke, Cilantro pinched him on the thigh in retaliation.
Fujihiko grinned, stunned not to cry out for pain.
"What Lao Tzu said is that the guy in his hand is so heavy!"
"That's pretty much it." Coriander snorted weirdly, got up slowly, and spared the man with great mercy.
Channel Cheng and Shi Lan moved the flower basket at the door aside, making room for the right size. Fujihiko and Coriander moved their things to this position next to the door.
In the store, Lao Qu, who worshiped the beckoning cat with a broken beard and muttered words in his mouth, heard the movement and couldn't help but go out to see what was going on.
What are the brothers and sisters of the Lin family doing here, regardless of the size, in terms of shape, why does it look so much like a coffin?
Covered with a layer of white cloth, it looks like wearing a body of filial piety, and it is very unlucky to look at!
Lao Qu was so dissatisfied that he muttered, "What the whole thing is, it's weird to get in the way here." ”
The sunshine of the coriander smile is charming, making people lose their temper, "Boss Qu, the new store is open, it's a good fortune, this is a little bit of caution for me and my sister......"
Coriander hurriedly corrected: "What is small, not small at all, it's not me blowing it to you, I dare to guarantee that the whole Shanghai market ...... Even in the whole country, my baby machine is the only one! ”
Listening to her boasting, the people around her expressed curiosity, and they all wanted to know what kind of machine was under the cover of the white cloth.
Under the curious gaze of everyone, the coriander grabbed the corner of the white cloth and pulled it fiercely-
Hey, didn't you pull it off?
Then I'll drag it again!
Drag again!
Drag!
……
After several attempts, the coriander failed to pull the white cloth off.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that God didn't want this machine to come out so early?
If that's what God meant, why didn't they let this machine fall to pieces on the way to the machine on the way to the machine!
Coriander patted the coriander on the face of bitter gourd, then pointed to the ground.
Following the direction of his finger, Coriander walked around the back of the machine and looked down, only to find that the bottom end of the white cloth was pressed under the wheels of the machine. No wonder she couldn't pull the whole white cloth off.
It's stupid here. Built a machine that shouldn't have appeared in this era, is her IQ in arrears?
Coriander couldn't hear the resentment in her heart, bent down and pulled out the corner of the white cloth that was suppressed, and then pulled off a whole piece of white cloth with coriander, revealing a rectangular three-dimensional chassis.
The lower half of the chassis is a wooden cabinet door, with an operating table above the door and a small movable wooden board next to the coin slot under the counter. The top half is a transparent glass box with a bunch of puppets and a mechanical claw hanging from it.
None of the people present had ever seen anything like it, and even those who were proficient in machinery could hardly understand at a glance what this machine was for.
Coriander solemnly introduced to everyone, "There is only one in the world, grab, baby, baby, machine!" ”
Heh, the range of her braggadocio has grown. Just now, it was said that "the whole country" came, and it only took a few efforts to become "global".
An old antique like Lao Qu can't see how rare this machine is.
But in the eyes of young people, the value of this machine goes far beyond itself.
"As you can see, there are two joysticks on the console of this machine, the joystick can control the movement of the mechanical claw in the glass box, the left-hand joystick controls the mechanical claw to move up and down, and the right-hand joystick controls the mechanical claw to move forward, backward, left, right. But if you want to continue to grasp the activity, you must put a copper dollar from the coin slot, and you can only put money into it. The machine will work. ”
Coriander explained. While letting the coriander demonstrate to everyone.
She took out a copper dollar and threw it into the slot.
With a click, the copper dollar slid into the slot and seemed to land somewhere. It's like touching some kind of mechanism.
Coriander stands in front of the claw machine. Two hands control two joysticks. Concentrate on it. The people around him looked more serious than him.
"Everyone, my brother is very good at playing this game. Which doll do you like? Operate the joystick to control the claw, grab the doll in the glass box, and then operate the joystick to control the claw and move it to the notch...... If you get closer, you can see that there is a notch in the glass box, put the doll caught in this notch, and then the doll can fall out along this notch, there is a small door under the console, push open this small door, and you can get the doll that falls out of the notch. ”
The coriander explanation is very detailed, and the coriander is caught immediately, which makes many people think that this game of catching dolls is nothing more than that.
Most of the people who thought it was fresh at first were not interested at this time.
In order to keep the footsteps of these people, Coriander added oil and vinegar and said, "Don't listen to me say this, you think the game of catching dolls is so easy." As soon as my brother catches a quasi-boy, I'm sure no one will beat his record. Has anyone come up and give it a try, a copper dollar to play once, it's a good deal. What can a copper dollar do now, if you take it and call it Huazi, it may not be rare for people to ask for it. ”
"I'm coming!" As soon as the loud voice fell, a burly man in a sleeveless sweatshirt walked out of the crowd, stepped forward and said in a rough voice, "If a copper plate can really catch a doll out, I will spend money to catch all the dolls in the box and take them back to my daughter." ”
Coriander encouraged him, "Come on, come on!" ”
Coriander gave up her place.
The man shoved a copper dollar from his belt into the coin mouth, and grabbed the joystick with his two large hands to operate it.
One failure.
Two failures.
The third time also ended in failure in the sigh of everyone.
The man was about to try it for the fourth time when he was stopped by coriander.
"This big brother, forget it today, for the sake of your courage to try, I will give you this doll that my brother clipped." Coriander grabbed the Ragdoll and shook it in front of him.
The man was not convinced and refused to give up his position.
There were urging voices behind him, and he realized that there was a long queue behind him at some point, so he embarrassedly took the ragdoll bear from coriander's hand and retreated to the side.
Coriander said loudly: "In order to make everyone enjoyable, I now announce that one person can only play twice, in order to celebrate the new opening of our splendid cloth shop, the first time it will be given away for free, and the second time you will have to pay for it yourself!" ”
There was a cheer all around.
Coriander came to Lao Qu and stretched out a hand with a smile, "Boss Qu, take two pieces of ocean out!" ”
Lao Quhu grimaced, "What do you want money for?" ”
"Go to the shop next door to exchange some change, so many people are waiting to catch the doll, two oceans are enough."
She just said that she gave it away for free, but the game of catching dolls is not really free, and it still has to be put into it. This part of the money will have to be paid by the owner.
Lao Qu was unwilling, so he almost wrote the word "pick" on the door of his head, "If you say it yourself, you can figure it out by yourself." ”
Coriander couldn't get used to his stinginess, "I'll pay you back after the game is over-" Then she was stunned for a moment, "Do you think that after you put the money into the machine, the money will be gone!" ”
Lao Qu was noncommittal, how could he understand how this claw machine worked. In his eyes, to put it simply, isn't the crane machine just a money-eating machine?
Seeing Lao Qu's eyes like looking at the crane machine and looking at the monster, Coriander couldn't cry or laugh for a while, if the crane machine really only ate and didn't vomit, why did she bother making this thing?
"Don't worry, Boss Qu, I won't do a loss-making business." Cilantro pointed to the back of the claw machine, "See?" There was a small lock on the door, and when I opened it, there was a money box inside, and all the money that had been put in through the coin slot was in the box. ”
Lao Qu was skeptical, "Really? ”
"I can't lie to you." Coriander took out a small key from her pocket, and then slapped the key into Lao Qu's hand, "The machine is placed, and the key is also in your custody, so you should borrow me two silver dollars first, and when the doll in the glass box is caught, you will open the money box and count the money you lent me." ”
When Coriander said this, Lao Qu still didn't believe it, but he still took out two silver dollars on the spot and asked Shi Lan to take them to the shop next door to change the change.
The things have been delivered, and the coriander didn't stay long, greeted everyone, and pulled the rickshaw away.
Almost everyone is not very comfortable playing the game of catching dolls, and seeing them voluntarily put money into the machine one by one, and leaving disappointed one by one, Fujihiko is envious.
"How did you come up with such a money-making thing?"
"I figured it out with my brother."
In fact, when I first started making dolls, Coriander came up with this idea.
How much money can I make by selling a doll at a time? It's better to use a doll to arouse people's desire to challenge, so that everyone willingly throws money into the box.
Since then, the coriander has been pondering step by step, and the coriander has also helped a lot.
Shi Lan came back with a bag of change.
Lao Qu glanced at the glass box, there were only about twenty dolls in the box, if someone caught one accurately, the twenty dolls would be gone in the blink of an eye.
"Two silver dollars in change, will it be too much?" He asked.
Coriander reassured him, "Playing this game depends on talent, and not everyone can play as slippery as my brother." ”
"Is it that hard?" The channel around Lao Qu asked.
"Can I say I didn't make it once?" Cilana hates to admit it, but what could be more convincing than that to show that the game is difficult?
Fujihiko rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try, but looking at such a long team in front of the crane machine, the desire for challenge ignited in his heart was a little less.
He also saw a lot of business opportunities from it, and his mind was ready to move.
Fuji Yantang bumped the coriander with his elbow, his phoenix eyes were full of a soft smile, he raised his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice: "How did you make this claw machine?" Interested in working together? ”
Coriander glanced at him lazily, turned back to the store, sat on a small bench and drank herbal tea and watched the excitement outside.
"It's not realistic to talk about cooperation in this area now." (To be continued.) )
