Chapter 9: Farce
Hu Shu's words were very slow, but Li Le's heart swayed with a strange feeling, he was actually a little disgusted by the previous behavior of the two, but at this moment he occupied other people's bodies, and his previous behavior was naturally counted as his. If he is still like this, what reason does he have to dislike others, but at this moment, Hu Shu's words made him reacquaint himself with this friend who was only playful and debauched.
"You are now working as a carver in a jewelry store, but even if you say that Sister Zhen is really good to you, it is not suitable." Regarding Li Le's work in a jewelry store, Hu Shu expressed his opinion.
"I think so too, after all, my time is unstable, and it's not a matter of dragging it out like this, so I want to make some money and repay the money I borrowed from Sister Zhen as soon as possible, and I feel more at ease."
"But have you ever thought about who you bought what you made? You don't have a store, how do you go about selling? Although this nuclear carving is exquisite, we haven't heard of a relatively large sales volume of nuclear carvings on this land in Jingzhou, right? ”
Hu Shu's mouth was like a machine gun, and he asked Li Le in three or two sentences. Li Le only thought of making these things by himself, and the sales in Suzhou were indeed good in the past, but that was the origin of nuclear carving, and it was already famous, and every time the carving was finished, someone came directly to collect it. But now in Jingzhou, it is estimated that it is difficult to find even a shop to buy their own nuclear carvings. Thinking about it carefully, Li Le really felt that the nuclear carving he made was difficult to buy, so he went out and ran away by himself, which was a little unrealistic. It's okay to let Li Le carve and do business, he doesn't seem to be that piece of material. Looking at the pile of olive pits on the table in front of him for a while, Li Le was like a ball with a hole in it, and he was immediately deflated.
Seeing Li Le like this, Hu Shu was also a little unbearable, he was just full of interest, and suddenly poured a basin of cold water on it, which was really uncomfortable.
"Don't be too discouraged, so let's do it, you still carve first, and I'll help you run around with sales."
"Okay, I'll bother you." Li Le's voice was soft, and it was obvious that he had not recovered at the moment.
"Let's go, let's go out for a walk?"
"Nope."
"Shall we watch TV?"
"Look!"
……
At this moment, Li Le suddenly felt that he couldn't be interested in anything.
"Isn't it just an olive pit, and even if you can't sell one, it's only a matter of two thousand yuan, look at you like that, with a sad face, like something." Hu Shu saw that Li Le still couldn't lift his spirits, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
That's right, isn't it just 2,000 yuan, and besides, it's not necessarily that I can't buy it, as long as my things are good, I don't believe that there is no market. Hu Shu's words woke up Li Le at once, and made him suddenly come back to his senses, and he no longer looked so good.
"Got it?"
"Figured it out."
"That's right, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and if it doesn't work, there will be Uncle Tang!" Hu Shu knew that Li Le refused to recognize this father in his heart, so he only called him Uncle Tang.
"I don't want to ask him anymore, I want to be on my own."
Hearing Li Le say this, Hu Shu was also silent for a long time, it seemed that the brother in front of him had really changed, and he had become an indescribable taste, but it was in a good direction, "Okay, since you have some ambition, then I won't say more, I'll help you pay more attention to the sales matter." ”
……
Hu Shu chatted with Li Le for more than half an hour before going back, after all, he hadn't reported to his old man when he came back from a business trip.
After Hu Shu left, Li Le sorted out the olive pits, left the amount of carving, and sealed the rest. The cost of these things is only one to two yuan now, and in later generations, the rise of olive core carving was about 08 to 09 years, and the price also rose from dozens of dollars a pound to hundreds or even thousands. And the carved finished product is generally more than a dozen to dozens of pieces of one, and the handmade one is much more expensive, such as Arhat, the Buddha head may be hundreds of thousands after the string, as for the good single piece carved by the famous family is more likely to reach tens of thousands.
But now Li Le didn't think about selling so much, if it wasn't for the lack of money, he didn't even want to buy it.
Looking at the olive pit in his hand, Li Le sighed slightly, and then threw away the messy thoughts in his heart, he just wanted to hurry up and make more works now. No matter what else, even if Hu Shu helps him run away, at least there must be a work.
Time was ticking, and the room was silent, save for the sizzle of carving knives turning on olive pits. Knowing that it was more than one o'clock in the night, Li Le felt slightly mentally tired, but his fingers did not feel sore, which was a benefit for Li Le to discover his body again.
After looking at the time, Li Le was ready to rest, and he would continue to go to military training tomorrow. For military training, Li Lezhi feels very fond, these days tossed down, he feels that his body is a lot lighter, yesterday to weigh it, only more than 190 pounds, to nearly lose ten pounds, obviously than his own running to lose weight or something is much better. This also made Li Le more determined to meticulously complete the remaining ten days of military training and strive to reduce it again.
When the loud password sounded in the school playground, a new day of military training began. After ten laps, Li Le only felt that his spirit was very good. After a few days, the classmates in the class had already become accustomed to his monster physical strength, and their eyes were not weird, some were just envious, and they couldn't figure out why that fat body could contain such amazing energy.
Although the weather in mid-September is already autumn, it is still a little hot. The sun seemed to be particularly merciless today, and after noon, it hung high in the sky, exuding his enthusiasm, although most people could not bear it.
During the afternoon military training, the students all put their heads together, looking lifeless, only the monster-like Li Le seemed vibrant.
After half an hour of walking in unison, the instructor finally showed kindness and gave them a few minutes to catch their breath.
The four good friends were quietly talking about our classmate Li Le in the shade of the tree, led by a small leader named Zhang Jun.
"I can't figure it out, why the dead fat man has been like a chicken blood in the past few days, you look at the momentum, even if I chased girls before, I haven't seen him so active."
"He just loves to show off, and who doesn't know that he has good physical strength."
"I just can't get used to the way he looks, as if he's the best."
"Do you want a way to fix him?"
"I think it's okay, what's the way?"
"Come here, I'll tell you."
So this small team led by Zhang Jun held a secret meeting when facing the enemy for the first time, and after some discussion, formulated a battle plan against Li Le, and when a sinister smile appeared on the faces of several people, our Li Le classmates were still unaware.
"Assemble now." When the instructor's voice sounded, the students were like bees returning to the nest in a heap, and finally under the adjustment of several passwords by the instructor, they became a neat line. Li Le was standing on the edge of the penultimate row, and beside him was Zhang Jun and the others who had previously conspired at the meeting.
"Stand in a military posture for twenty minutes first, and then continue to practice walking in unison." After the instructor finished speaking, there was a sigh in the crowd.
"What? Too little? ”
No one was making a sound at this time, and they knew very well in their hearts that the result of the confrontation with the instructor was to walk crookedly into the dung pit and look for () to die.
Time is passing little by little, and sweat is also flowing drop by drop. Suddenly, a very discordant "poof" sound appeared in the crowd.
"Li Le, what are you eating, farting stinks so much." Zhang Jun's voice sounded in time.
"Like, what did you eat?"
"Can't you say hello first?"
"It's so immoral!"
The three friends who conspired were also very cooperative.
Li Le was stunned by what they said, and felt a little confused, and then saw the playful look on their faces, and immediately understood that this was a partnership to rectify themselves.
Li Le immediately became angry, he didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, he was honest for so long, but he recruited people to worry about him. Then he asked rhetorically, "What did you eat at noon?"
"Hot pot!" Zhang Jun said suspiciously, he came from Chongqing, so he likes to eat spicy food.
"Then you smell it yourself, this fart smells of hot pot, let's not talk about it, it's fucking spicy eyes, you dare to say that you didn't put it." Li Le's voice was righteous and sonorous, so that he himself had never felt so determined.
"Haha...... I'm laughing to death,"
"Oh my god, what a talent, spicy-eyed fart, I'm so happy to laugh."
"I can't do it either, I didn't find out that he still has this funny talent before!"
……
A burst of laughter sounded in the crowd, and most of them directly covered their stomachs and lay on the ground and laughed, and even more couldn't laugh out loud. Although a few female classmates blushed, the shaking expressions of covering their mouths also showed that they were amused.
At this moment, Zhang Jun's face was already red, he never thought that he would be beaten back, but he still fought back so perfectly, and he felt a sense of shame and hatred in his heart.
The other three accomplices were also covering their mouths at the moment and trying to hold back their laughter, but their flushed faces revealed that they were holding back very hard.
After all, this confrontation ended with Zhang Jun defeating, don't blame ** for not working hard, just blame the communist army for being too cunning.
Li Le was also stunned by his words, he only felt that his heart was on fire, his brain flashed, and he went back by the way, but he never reacted that he actually said such words. However, thinking of Zhang Jun's playful expression before, there was no sense of guilt in his heart. It's only to blame that he has nothing to do, and it's also because of another Li Le's eloquence.
"Okay, all stand up, whoever laughs at it again will run ten laps around the playground for me." As soon as the leader got out of his horse, the minions finally stopped laughing and stood up one by one.
The corners of the instructor's mouth were also pulled, for Li Le, he has seen it these days, and all the projects are meticulously completed. I didn't say much about the joke just now. But I was still slightly depressed in my heart, this kid is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Happy days are always short-lived, and being so troubled by Li Le made the students' spirits suddenly rise to a higher level. Even Grandpa Sun's fiery enthusiasm didn't seem so hard to accept.
In the next few days, Li Le went to Sister Zhen's shop to work until 8 o'clock after military training every day, and then went home for nuclear carving until 12 o'clock. Life is full and happy, except for the occasional figure that comes to mind that I don't meet at school.
