Chapter 147: Before the Lively Opening
Because Chu Yin had done a lot of market industries in Binhai City, Chu Ruo felt that he already knew a lot about the streets and alleys of Binhai, but he didn't expect Cheng Shuixin to dig deeper than himself.
This small shop is behind the old street that Chu Ruo has walked countless times, and Chu Ruo has also passed by this alley many times, and there is a delicious ramen restaurant in Zhilu Road, with old craftsmen who make window grilles, and old watch repairers...... But Chu Ruo really didn't know that there was actually a shop selling handmade products here.
The houses in the alleys are already too old, and the end result they face is definitely to become part of the municipal construction planning goal, and finally turn the place into a high-rise building that continues to support the city's evolutionary prosperity.
Now this is the situation that such a store can continue to survive, but the decline is inevitable. Eventually, they will all move towards a commercialization with a clear window, making the goods more expensive, and the style and process more patterned, just like the shops seen in tourist attractions.
This is the result of being changed by the worldly realm, and the individual cannot stop it.
Cheng Shuixin's love for this kind of old handicraft has long been reflected in her usual literary club activities, and she brought a single-lens reflex camera with her when she came today, and when she entered the door, she took two photos of a glass counter that looked at least 20 years old.
The area of the store is not large, dozens of square meters, several sets of counters take up most of the space, plus the shelves behind the counters, the range of activities that customers can move at the door is very small.
There was only one clerk standing behind the counter, a young man with a little acne on his face, wearing a white T-shirt with the logo of peace and rock in the world, and he was boredly playing with his mobile phone, even when someone came in.
Cheng Shuixin took Chu Ruo to the counter and knocked on the counter glass.
The young man with curly brown hair still didn't look up, he was messaging someone with his fingers, and only after typing all the words did he look up at the customer who had just entered the door.
Just like most young people, when he saw Cheng Shuixin and Chu Ruo, the eyes of this young man who was a little impatient immediately changed.
Cheng Shuixin didn't mind this change in expression at all, she had long been used to it: "Let's get something." ”
After showing the previous receipt, the dull expression on the young man's face changed a little: "Ah...... What to take? ”
Chu Ruo sneered lightly beside him, obviously not having a good impression of this kind of person who has weak legs when he sees a beautiful woman.
This kind of Chi Guoguo's contempt really stimulated the young man a lot, he glanced at Chu Ruo, and wanted to straighten his waist and say something, but he still didn't know what to say.
Cheng Shuixin spoke first: "I ordered two glass sculptures, they should be finished today, right?" ”
"Two?" Chu Ruo was surprised, "You want to send two?" ”
Cheng Shuixin smiled at Chu Ruo, and the power of her smile made the young man lose his mind for a short time.
"Originally, I wanted to send two, but now it seems that I can only send one."
The meaning of Cheng Shuixin's words is obvious, Chu Ruo, who was just going to refer to Cheng Shuixin's gift, immediately felt flattered, you must know that Lu Dao is really troublesome to think of gifts, even if it has nothing to do with money, it is quite troublesome.
The two girls chatted in the shop and waited for the young man to go to the back to get something, only to wait for an old man with gray hair.
It would be strange if there was no old man in this old craft shop, and Cheng Shuixin also showed a certain respect for the old man: "Hello Master Tang, what I want is done, right?" ”
Master Tang is an old man with white eyebrows, and he walks tremblingly, but his hands appear wide and heavy, and his fingers are round and powerful.
"The stuff is here." The old man followed the young man, holding two cardboard boxes in his hands, "This thing is becoming less and less popular among young people now, it's not easy." ”
This sentence is not easy, and I don't know if Lu Dao is talking about the fact that it is not easy for traditional craftsmen to live, or whether it is not easy for Cheng Shuixin to like this thing. Cheng Shuixin smiled softly at the old man, took the carton one by one with Chu Ruo, and held it in his arms.
"Here's the balance." Cheng Shuixin gave the money to the old man, "Thank you." ”
The old man waved his hand: "Go, the friend who received your gift must be very happy." ”
Coming out of this shop, Chu Ruo complained in a low voice: "That curly hair looks at you too obscenely. ”
Cheng Shuixin smiled: "Let him be, there will be no less meat at a glance." ”
Chu Ruo's anger with Su Yifan is not as heavy as before, and it is also because Chu Yin's recent various things have been smooth, so he said with a little regret: "Actually, Sister Ying should be allowed to come in with me, that kid will definitely not dare to stare at you." ”
Chu Ruo's Sister Ying naturally didn't go far, and Bentley was parked on the side of the road far away, occasionally attracting the attention of one or two onlookers.
Back in the car, Cheng Shuixin opened the carton and showed Chu Ruo the carvings inside.
These are two portrait carvings, the material is colored glazed glass, the workmanship is very fine, and the carved figures are Yang Bingbing.
Cheng Shuixin is very hearted, one is Yang Bingbing painting, the other is she playing the piano, and both images are both physical and spiritual.
Chu Ruo was surprised: "It's really like ...... How? ”
Cheng Shuixin explained: "I drew a sketch of the pose and then provided multi-angle photos. ”
Chu Ruo was amazed by the craftsmanship of this carving: "It's amazing, it's too similar......"
"Usually this kind of old craftsman rarely takes on portrait work." Cheng Shuixin said to Chu Ruo, "They prefer the work of simulacrums, and they don't like to do the work of carving people." ”
Chu Ruo blinked: "Then how did you convince that Master Tang?" ”
Cheng Shuixin said casually: "Money." ”
"Okay......" Chu Ruo felt that this answer was really unexpected and reasonable, "but this is your gift, I should give something different." ”
"It's not that you can't think of it, and besides, the time is too short, and it's not easy to prepare." Cheng Shuixin comforted Chu Ruo, "Let's have one by one, it's actually quite good." ”
Chu Ruo thought about it and decided to accept Cheng Shuixin's kindness, she really has no surprising talent in this regard, and the things that really let her make her own decisions since she was a child are none other than those things after Chu Yin entered, and she was scolded by Su Yifan so much.
"Then you say, what will Su Yifan give?" Chu Ruo actually cared more about Su Yifan, although she knew that the sister in front of her was actually a little more important in Su Yifan's heart.
Cheng Shuixin shook her head: "I don't know what to do, he is always good at creating surprises, let's see when the time comes." ”
"Aren't you curious?" Chu Ruo still refused to let go of this topic, "I'm curious to death." ”
"It's been a good time to wait for answers." Cheng Shuixin smiled, "Okay, you see what else you want to buy around, let's go shopping." ”
Compared with Cheng Shuixin who went to get a birthday gift for Yang Bingbing, Su Yifan and Yang Bingbing, who was about to be a birthday star, went to a game store.
Since Su Yifan's own financial ability gained independence, Su Xiaoqing no longer helped him buy new games and movies. Every young person who is a little skilled in art has his own preferences, Su Xiaoqing simply let Su Yifan choose by himself, which is not only respect, but also means that her attitude towards Su Yifan - she always starts by helping, but she will never over-intervene in the process.
This is not the first time that Yang Bingbing has accompanied Su Yifan, she also came once before when she donated PS3 at the charity bazaar, and she was also met with onlookers at that time.
However, there was also an impressive trip to the horror movie private room that time, and Yang Bingbing also heard strange voices next door. Thinking about these memories now, it really feels so different.
Accompanying Su Yifan to buy games still makes Yang Bingbing feel very excited, and she is always more interested in Su Yifan's world. Since childhood, there has been no pursuit, just a person who enjoys the happiness of being alone, but now Yang Bingbing has finally learned to live for something that is not only his own.
There are still a lot of people in the game store, and business here is especially good during the summer vacation, with two young people who should be in their twenties playing "Guitar Hero", the action is very exaggerated, and they play well.
When he arrived at this kind of place that was not quite in line with his aura, Yang Bingbing subconsciously grabbed Su Yifan's arm, and was a little more delicate than Hua.
This kind of posture is almost impossible for Yang Bingbing in his usual life.
There are a lot of new games, and the summer season is the most lively time for both movies and games. I didn't know much about games before, Yang Bingbing looked at the covers of these majors and just marveled at how amazing the art was. Now I'm one of the hottest game makers, and when I see these works, I can't help but look at them with a critical and professional eye.
"What kind of game is Devil May Cry?"
"A handsome game, a combination of guns and swords." Su Yifan really knows all about these things, "The enemies are all demons of various forms, you shouldn't like it." ”
Yang Bingbing took a rare look at the little girl, raised her head and retorted: "Who said that, I dare to watch horror movies now." ”
It's such a simple action, which makes the few otaku who buy games around the onlookers feel like they are going to melt their hearts...... Everyone said that if they had such a cute girlfriend, what kind of games would they play, and they would be cows and horses every day to accompany her to go shopping and watch movies.
Su Yifan smiled: "We have this at home, go back and let you try it." ”
This sentence can hurt people's hearts more than Yang Bingbing's cuteness, what is "our family"? Is it really okay to talk to a beautiful woman so casually?
Yang Bingbing is as good as flowing: "Okay, I'll definitely try." ”
The matter was settled, and the two of them picked a few games and left the store.
Walking out of the game store, Yang Bingbing paused a little at the traffic on the street, turned back to Su Yifan and said, "Xie Luxie." ”
Su Yifan knew what Yang Bingbing was talking about, and shook his head with a smile: "No thanks." ”
"I know that you are afraid that I will be irritable, so you brought me to find inspiration." Yang Bingbing held Su Yifan's hand and didn't put it down, but dragged him to continue walking in the direction of the cinema as he had every time he came here before, "Don't worry, I'm not that weak." ”
Su Yifan smelled the faint fragrance from Yang Bingbing's hairline, and felt that his heart was a little shaken.
"I know the Tao, but being strong is your own business, whether or not to bring you here is my business."
Yang Bingbing's arm shook when he heard this, and Su Yifan's body seemed to be softer than before.
