Xie Bin was busy making embryos by himself, and Liu Wenqing also pretended to have the courage to start bargaining with others, which was also decent. At around eleven o'clock, Old Man Wang walked over and said with a smile: "Xiao Xie, where did you find such a little helper?" Not bad. ”

"Elder Wang said with a smile, this is my little sister, come out to play," Xie Bin quickly stood up, said with a smile, and then said to me Liu Wenqing: "Wenwen, call Grandpa Wang." ”

Liu Wenqing smiled sweetly and called out obediently: "Hello Grandpa Wang." ”

Lao Wang Tou was amused by Liu Wenqing's well-behaved appearance, and laughed, "Okay, okay," he said and took out two forms, "Na, Xiao Xie, this is the registration form, find a place to fill it out, and I'll register you when I get it back." ”

Xie Bin took it and looked at it, and said to Old Man Wang: "Old Wang, you sit down first, and I'll be back soon." With that, he ran towards the office of the management office.

Director Lin and a few people were drinking tea and reading the newspaper, when they saw Xie Bin coming in, "Xiao Xie, what's the matter?" ”

Xie Bin shook his head, "What, Brother Lin, borrow a pen and fill out a form." ”

Director Lin took a carbon pen from the table and asked, "What kind of form do you use?" ”

"There is a traditional culture expo in our city, and Mr. Wang will help me register for it," he said, filling it in quickly.

"Ah, yes, it's amazing to get mixed up at the expo," Director Lin said with a smile.

Xie Bin said with a smile: "There, people are just taking care of it, hehe, Brother Lin is busy, I'll go first, I have time to go to my place to pick two interesting objects, cost price, haha." ”

"Go ahead! Don't feel distressed then, haha. ”

Xie Bin handed his cousin to Old Man Wang. The old man looked at it carefully, nodded and praised: "Yes, good words, brush words should also be good, right?" ”

Xie Bin is very proud of his one-handed calligraphy and painting, but in the face of such an old man, he doesn't dare to be proud, "I can barely get by, I just practiced with my grandfather for a few days when I was a child." ”

"Haha, I really can't see it, Xiao Xie, you are also versatile, I have time to see what skills you still haven't used," Old Man Wang laughed, raised the form in his hand, and turned around with a packaging box, "You two are busy, I'll go first." ”

"Elder Wang, go slowly!" Xie Bin shouted loudly behind him, looking at the box in Old Man Wang's hand, he turned his head to Liu Wenqing and asked, "Wenwen, what did the old man buy?" ”

"The ornament with two cranes, six hundred yuan," Wenwen blinked and handed over six hundred yuan.

Xie Bin swept the stall and knew it in his heart. The old man chose an almond pine crane ornament, with a simple pine tree and mountains as the background, one left and one right and one up and down two cranes, one on one foot independent, one wings on the neck, the base with Ganoderma lucidum and moire and other patterns, is also Xie Bin's proud work. But obviously, this old man paid for Liu Wenqing's sake.

Speaking of which, this Lao Wang is really interesting, and from time to time he has to buy one or two treasures from Xie Bin, and in the past two years, he has spent nearly 10,000 yuan. Don't look at how hard the old man cut when he helped Xue Yuying bargain, it was just instinct in this industry. If you want to make a name for yourself in this industry, bargaining is a necessary skill, otherwise you will have to spend almost twice as much money as others.

So, when you bargain, you have a red face, but after the deal is made, it's another matter. This almond pine crane ornament, if you want to say that the market price is five or six hundred yuan, the old man did not suffer. However, this friendship, Xie Bin has it in his heart, and people come to Xie Bin to consume, which is very face-saving for Xie Bin.

At the end of the day, another 4,800 dollars were credited to the account. Xie Bin has found that the business has been getting better and better in the past two years, especially with the internationalization of this coastal city, the increasingly developed tourism industry, and the steady improvement of the economic level, Xie Bin's income is rising.

However, thinking about the same rising housing prices, Xie Bin's heart was annoyed again.

When he went home, Xie Bin smiled and said to Liu Wenqing: "Wenwen, go home and keep accounts, you will get a commission of two hundred and forty yuan today, not bad, continue tomorrow." ”

"Brother Xie, it's too much, this ......" Liu Wenqing was a little embarrassed, feeling that the money was too much.

Indeed, according to the average salary in this place, sixty to eighty a day is considered a normal level, and now it has been pumped more than two hundred at once, and the little girl is really afraid to take it. At this level, at least about 2,000 yuan a month, but only two days a week.

"Haha, what's yours is yours, didn't we say okay? But I can't give it to you now, until you start school! Xie Bin patted Liu Wenqing's head.

After getting along in the past few days, the relationship between the two people has become intimate again, just like the feeling between brother and sister. However, although this little sister is not fully developed, she also has a bit of a woman's taste, so that Xie Bin does not dare to be too presumptuous, at most he dares to knock on his head.

When I returned home, I took out the beaten embryos, and worked overtime overnight to repair and polish, and I didn't even have time to chat with Xiao Wangzi. At this time, it is still important to make money, and Xie Bin is not willing to miss this opportunity.

The fair will last for three days, and if business is good enough, these 100 or so works will not be enough. Originally, Xie Bin thought that the expo would only take one day, but who knew that such a not too grand event would last for three days.

In recent years, there have been many kinds of expositions such as automobile expos, clothing expos, jewelry expos, etc., but only this kind of traditional cultural expo has not attracted much attention. Although people shout about improving people's cultural literacy, compared with other fairs, traditional culture is even less popular than those large-scale flower fairs. In addition, this is just an expo held within the island city, and the gold content is indeed not very high.

But even so, it is enough to make Xie Bin excited, after all, when the time comes, it will be a rare event for enthusiasts from all over the city to gather together.

In addition to bamboo and wood carving, calligraphy and painting, paper-cutting, jade and stone carving, as well as shadow puppets, seals, tea, etc., are not a major event. To say that the audience is the largest, it is still calligraphy and painting, which are the representatives of traditional Chinese cultural projects.

The expo was held at a hotel in the island city and was led by the city government and sponsored by an entrepreneur. Several of the hotel's convention halls have been temporarily converted into exhibition halls, with bamboo and wood carvings on the third floor.

Xie Bin took Liu Wenqing and followed Mr. Wang to the exhibition hall. The small exhibition hall is divided into booths one by one, all marked with labels, Xie Bin is at booth 26. It is said that it is a booth, but in fact, it is just a small area in a circle and a few tables, which cannot be compared with those jewelry and car showrooms. Fortunately, although the platform is simple, the price is not high, and the cost of fifty yuan a day is very cheap.

Early the next morning after seeing the exhibition hall, Xie Bin came to the exhibition hall with Liu Wenqing on three wheels with his selected exhibits. Of course, Xie Bin still secretly put some spare in his necklace space, just in case.

Although the exhibition was led by the municipal government, there was no opening ceremony, and when the time came, tens of thousands of long whips crackled at the door, and then banners were hung, and the first traditional culture exhibition was opened.

Although the opening ceremony was simple, there were really a lot of people, and the three-story building, five or six conference halls were soon filled with crowds. Xie Bin also has a lot of enthusiasts here, but most of them are just watching the excitement.

Xie Bin was not in a hurry, holding a piece of soft cypress wood for carving, one was bored, and the other was an advertisement. People know that there are wood carvings, and they are beautiful to look at, but few people have seen how wood carvings are made.

When Xie Bin beats the embryo, he usually only uses a carving knife to cut down layer by layer, which is really like losing weight on wood. Xie Bin's fingers were slender and flexible, a carving knife flew up and down in his hand, and the sawdust fluttered down like falling snow, which looked quite attractive, and after a while, it attracted a lot of people in front of the booth.

The cypress wood is soft, and the carving is not very difficult, and with the use of the ability, a statue of a cypress lady appears in front of everyone's eyes. Although there is no polishing, it looks quite impressive. The whole statue of a lady is no more than 30 centimeters high, with smooth lines, a kind face, flowing clothes and hair, and the crowd can't help but applaud.

Xie Bin smiled and arched his hands on all sides, "Thank you for your patronage, these small objects in front of me are carved by myself, you can see if you like it, you can buy one or two pieces back and put them in the room, no matter what, it looks more elegant, please!" ”

However, in these years, it is not easy to sell these things that cannot see the actual value, and most of them are still waiting and asking for the price, especially after hearing Xie Bin's offer, they are a little hesitant.

Instead, a little boy pointed to a set of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck and shouted, "Daddy, Daddy, I want Mickey Mouse." ”

Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, as popular animated characters many years ago, have endured until now, and there are still many children who like them. Xie Bin carved a set of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, which is carved from cypress wood, and then colored with special lacquer for wood carving, making Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse appear vivid, especially the simple Donald Duck, which is even more endearing, no wonder this little boy will shout out all of a sudden.

Xie Bin picked up the Donald Duck from the platform and said with a smile: "This is a set of dolls carved by me for children, carved from fine cypress wood, and painted with special wood carving lacquer, which can be kept for a long time, only two hundred pieces!" ”

The price of 200 yuan is not high, and it depends on what the buyer thinks. Although 200 yuan is not very valuable, if you buy other toys, you can also buy a good set of toys. But the temper of children comes up, and adults can't help but not sell.

If you are a stingy parent, you are naturally reluctant to buy such a wooden toy for 200 yuan, but most of the people who are interested in coming here have some spare money, and with so many people watching, the parent is not embarrassed to bargain, took out 200 yuan, and then took Donald Duck and stuffed it into the little boy's hand.

Xie Bin smiled, took out another Mickey Mouse, and stuffed it into the little boy's arms, "Na, little friend, you are the first customer today, buy one get one free, and reward you with a Mickey Mouse." ”

"Thank you, uncle," said the little one in a milky voice.

Xie Bin smiled, don't say it, there is a beginning, and the favor of the onlookers is relatively high, but they are still watching, asking the price.

When Xie Bin was busy introducing the materials and prices of various objects, a voice came from the side, "Yo, it turns out that Boss Xie is also here." ”

Xie Bin looked up, but it was Xue Yuying, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you go to work?" ”

Xue Yuying raised her eyebrows, "Such a big event, how can I be missing," she exclaimed, "Ah, Transformers." ”
