599.The Knight's Costume (5/5)
The bickering of the two old men opened Wang Bo's eyes, the two of them were really sharp-toothed, and they could also use their hands, more than once the elder Peterson took a pipe to knock Maxson, and Maxson finally drew a short saber. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the friendship of old-school men, Wang Bo watched it with peace of mind from the side, watching it with relish, and the strong feelings between the two moved him in his heart.
After a five-minute fight, the two suddenly burst into laughter again.
Maxson stretched out his hand to Wang Bo and said, "Let you see the joke, we two old guys will be like this every time we meet, handsome mayor, I hope you are not scared by us." ”
Peterson also explained: "We haven't seen each other for too long, and I haven't been back to Aocheng for a while, and this old guy won't go to Sunset, so it's a bit exciting to meet again." ”
Wang Bo waved his hand and said: "You are too polite, I like brothers like you, I hope that when I reach your age, there will be people who can quarrel like me." ”
Peterson shook his head and said, "That's not good, sir, the reason why this old guy likes to fight is because he is an old bachelor, and I pity him to accompany him, and I don't want you to be a bachelor too, because Eva is the best girl in the world." ”
"This mayor of yours is also the best young man in the world." Maxson laughed, he shook Wang Bo's hand vigorously and continued, "Thank you for everything you did for my old fellow, honestly, you saved this poor black guy, you gave him this job, saved it." ”
"It? This name is wonderful. The old cowboy laughed too.
Maxson guessed the purpose of their arrival, so he asked Wang Bo to choose whatever he wanted, saying that in order to thank Wang Bo for his help to Peterson, he provided a set of harness for free.
Wang Bo was not embarrassed, Peterson smoked his pipe and said: "Don't worry, boss, this old bastard is not a generous person, you finally have a chance to kill him, do it hard!" ”
Maxson pointed at him and said, "But you know, you know for sure, I'll get all my losses back on you!" ”
The two of them began to quarrel again, and Wang Bo walked around the store by himself.
He picked up a horsewhip and shook it, and the bell at the end of the handshake rang to jingle the bell, and the whip made a crisp sound after cutting a graceful arc in the air.
Choosing a riding whip, he chose another pair of riding boots with the right size, and looking at the marks of friction on the soles, he asked in surprise: "Are these handmade riding boots?" ”
New Zealand has achieved industrial mechanization very early, but the things produced by machinery are considered to lack spirituality, and more people like handmade things, of course, the same products, handmade goods are much more expensive.
Listening to him, Peterson said, "Everything here is handmade, and my old fellow's family has been doing this work for generations." If you're interested, you can visit his workshop later. ”
Maxson smiled: "It's not all my work, there are other people who put it here to sell it on my behalf, of course, it's all handmade, you can rest assured." ”
As soon as he said this, Wang Bo became interested, he reached out and took out a saber, the scabbard seemed to be made of calfskin tanning, and he held the handle of the knife and pulled it out, and a blade with cold light flashed in front of him.
"Is this knife also hand-sharpened?" He asked curiously.
Maxson nodded: "Handmade goods, but not polished, you need to buy steel, hydraulic hammer forging, rapid pickling, and then use machine tools to forge, and the final thing that comes out is the kind of goods you see." ”
He saw that Wang Bo had a look of admiration on his face, waved his hand very low-key and continued: "This is a small craft, modern machining has long been out of sight, that is, some nostalgic guys will like this thing." ”
Wang Bo looked around with interest and said, "How is your business here?" ”
Maxson shrugged and said, "That's it, sustain life, reminisce about the past, it's not bad anyway." ”
Wang Bo asked, "If I offered you a house in Sunset Town, would you be interested in moving to us?" ”
Maxson smiled and shook his head halfway through listening, apparently refusing.
But Wang Bo is not giving up, he is full of interest in this old-fashioned denim store, just such a store, after going to the town to integrate into the tourism link, can hold up a piece of the sky!
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, cowboy, it's not just money, or it's not about money, go to me first you can become neighbors with your black buddy, think about it, every day you get off work, sit together in your workshop and drink some wine and eat some good meat, and then discuss together how to build a beautiful harness, what a beautiful life?"
"Secondly, you want to lose such a good craft? I don't see that you have an apprenticeship, my town is about to start tourism, don't you want to show more people the skills that your grandfather passed down to your father, your father passed on to you? ”
"Look, this knife has your name on it, right? It's your name, so you don't want your name to reach a completely unfamiliar country? Let the Chinese, the Americans know your reputation? ”
Maxson began to rub his nose, and he said hesitantly: "This is not an exclusive secret technique of mine, this is some of the techniques that have been eliminated." ”
"Existence is reasonable, cowboy, the techniques passed on by your grandfather and father will not be eliminated, but they need a different piece of soil to survive."
Maxson shook his head stubbornly: "No, no, I won't leave, this shop is also inherited from our family, I should stay here." ”
A high salary may not buy the loyalty of your subordinates, but it will definitely make them willing to help.
Peterson put down his pipe and helped Wang Bo to instigate: "Old man, why are you staying here?" Drinking alone? Watching John Wayne movies alone? A man dies by the stove? Go for it, Sunset Town is great, you go check it out, you're going to love it. ”
Wang Bo decided to release the blockbuster news: "I know that the old houses in New Zealand have an overall relocation structure, and I can pay for all of your houses to be relocated to our town, how about it?" ”
Maxson faltered, and he said, "Let me think, Mayor Mare, let me think, this is my hometown......"
"Go to the hometown of the horse, the hometown with wine, meat and buddies is the hometown!" Peterson hugged him and shoved his pipe into his mouth.
Maxson didn't dislike it, he took two puffs hard, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's still a bit sloppy, but if it's like you say, then why don't I relocate?" ”
"Cowboys have to be motivated, that's it!" Peterson shouted, "It's time for your Maxson family craft to see the light of day!" It's time for the cowboys who play with mobile phones and ride motorcycles to see what it means to be a knight! (To be continued.) )
