Chapter 5: This Year's New Year's Eve (1)
"Sister Xin, where is my rabbit master, I've already sold the third wooden play today!" Ping'er chirped and shouted with Tianxin, although she was slow, she spared no effort to "work" for Tianxin.
Since the night of the Lantern Festival, the Ren family's flying rabbit soared in the air, and the Ren family's wooden play became an instant hit in the West Market, and Ren Carpenter's furniture business was not as lively as this wooden play, so he simply listened to his daughter's thoughts as long as he was free, and made those strange gadgets for her. Tianxin, the youngest daughter of the Ren family, is the same as this Ren family's wooden play, and she is very popular in the West Market, saying that after this girl fell ill, she was favored by the gods and moved all the decorations of the gods in the sky to this world. In this way, the reputation of wooden toys has also begun.
The children followed Tianxin, had fun and liveliness, and took refuge in the team, and the third brother of Xiaoqi naturally became the veterans, and each led a few subordinates. After all, the third brother is the oldest, and his brain is also active, and he often gives Tianxin some ideas, Tianxin allows him to make money, not a penny, and sometimes gives him more, so that his enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, although his idea can not be used much, but his news network is quite wide, which family has children to wash the three ceremonies, where there is a new shop, he came to Tianxin for the first time, because he found that Tianxin seems to be very interested in these gossip, every time there is any news that makes her big eyes flash, the next settlement of the profit will be given to him more. Xiao Qi tossed with the third brother before, and found that the third brother always didn't take him, so he opened up a new way, he is also a clever one, and he summoned most of the newcomers to show off, holding wooden toys to show off in front of the newcomers, or borrowing people to play first, before bringing people to the shop to see, sometimes he also gave some to people, he heard Tianxin say: "Fishing, you have to bait first, the bait is enough, and the fish will be happy to take the bait." So there was divergent thinking, and along this path, the net was widely sprinkled, and the harvest was diligent. Tianxin didn't know that her modern thinking gave a vivid financial management lesson to several children around her, and even made a lot of business talents emerge during the period, which can be regarded as an unexpected harvest.
In addition to engaging in some popular wooden games, Tianxin also asked Ren Carpenter to make him the two sets of chess and cards he wanted before. Household names such as leaf cards, naturally not to do, she asked for a set of improved flying chess, and a set of checkers, which were privately hidden, and wood carvings and other things to hide for later use. This wood carving was made by Ren carpenter according to the picture drawn by Tianxin. Of course, there is no pencil or the like in this world, Tianxin fired a carbon strip with wicker, and it was also used easily, but the carbon adhesion of this wicker was very poor, although the color level was very rich, and the large area was very easy to smear, but the carbon particles were difficult to fix, in the previous life, always painted a layer of spray glue, but this world did not spray glue, thanks to Ren carpenter's hand a lot of materials, she made a homemade again, with rosin and alcohol fusion, to melt the rosin, configure the proportion, you can use, but this practice for a long time, the painting is yellowed, It can also be used with white latex mixed with water, but the degree of dilution is difficult to grasp. This knowledge made Tianxin thank the sketch teacher in her previous life, she pondered, if she can't mix it up in the future, at least she can go to the bottom of the overpass to paint portraits, which must be more realistic than Chinese painting, of course, she has not used this idea in her life.
Ren carpenter originally made furniture thinking is not as big as making wooden furnishings, now let him do wood carving, he is as happy as a glutton, but this wood carving has to work slowly and carefully, after all, Ren carpenter still has to work to support his family, not much spare time, so he delayed, a moonrise a delicate little thing is also good. As for Tianxin's root carving, it is a little difficult, occasionally let the carpenter travel, bring back a few pieces that can be used, the material is also ordinary, and the shape is not as good as the "fairy child hip platform", this is the name that Tianxin gave to the root carving. Tianxin pondered, when he accumulated a certain amount of wealth, he would follow his father to travel, and he could travel in the mountains and rivers, and there were good things to dig ......
These days, Xiao Tianxin is like a fish in water, everyone thinks that Tianxin has been reminded by the gods, saving her a lot of trouble to explain, and even the contempt for the backwardness of this world has also faded a lot, it turns out that many things are not only available in modern society. This kind of leisurely and free struggle, she feels like playing "Invention Workshop", but in addition to the PC, she directly substitutes for the role.
Since Ren carpenter has become Tianxin's first productive force, Tianxin has begun to explore the potential of Ren's sister-in-law. Ren's sister-in-law's original intention was to educate a daughter who was good at needlework, but this daughter only learned a primer, so she was lazy and refused to continue, and dragged on for a few days before she was willing to follow the study for half an hour. The more anxious Ren's sister-in-law is, the more Tianxin is unwilling to work hard. Her thoughts are different from Ren's-in-law, she knows that Ren's sister-in-law wants her daughter to have a skill. In this era, if a woman can have this craft and go to an embroidery workshop to work, it should be no problem to survive. But who is she? She is Chang Huan pretending to be Ren Tianxin! Under the modern education, how can the "female red" under the feudal system be used as a tool for eating? In fact, Tianxin is quite self-controlled, and always feels that if she takes out some skills casually, she can starve to death, why do you have to work so hard to learn a craft that requires so much patience? In other words, a Mr. Holmes once said that the human brain is a library, and in order to hold more books that are needed, the unnecessary parts must be removed. To be honest, Tianxin doesn't want to sell coolies, and if her sister-in-law does delicate work for her, she can embroider a four-leaf clover by herself, and it's a big deal to embroider a small flower, which is good...... It's a pity that there are some things that are not known to be precious when they are not missed.
It is said that Sister-in-law Ren urged Tianxin to learn embroidery, but Tianxin in turn urged Sister-in-law Ren to teach her to tie the yarn. That time, after she saw the familiar "Chinese knot" in Ren's sister-in-law's hand, she became obsessed with this handicraft called Luozi. I used to see those maids playing Baoyu in the Dream of Red Mansions, but I didn't know that this rope could play so many tricks. Ren's sister-in-law has all kinds of flowers, quadruple bats, and can also vividly make all kinds of small animals. Many of the sweat towels of the needlework team in the West Market were made by Sister-in-law Ren, and Sister-in-law Ren often used beautiful yarns to tie Tianxin's hair, how could this almighty yarn make Tianxin not moved. It didn't take long for Tianxin to ask Ren's sister-in-law to make a four-leaf clover for her, and the regular customers who came to the shop to buy three or five times of wooden play can have embroidered cloth bags with ropes, which can be regarded as junior VIP customers. It's just that this network also requires patience to learn technology, Tianxin learned fifty or sixty percent, and began to retreat again, Ren's sister-in-law said nothing this time and refused to let her go, but forced her to have no choice, biting the end of the line and knitting it, finally living up to this pair of skillful hands. This is the first good thing that Tianxin has officially learned after wearing here.
Tianxin gave Xiao Qi and the third brother a frog tie, and the shape was similar to the iron frog in the initial stage of socialism, and the two little boys happily tied them around their waists, and they were reluctant to take them away. The third brother also secretly told Tianxin a little news, which can be regarded as a small return gift, he said: "It is said that this year's Lantern Festival, the East Market will hold a lantern competition, and the first place can get a table of noodles in Xinghualou!" ”
"Can you cash it out?" Xinghualou? Those who sell moon cakes can have anything delicious, but they are not as good as silver. Tianxin pondered, it would be good if he could fold three or five taels, but his first pot of gold has not been saved until now. In the past, when I watched the crossing, the female initiative could use three or five hundred taels of silver, but when I came here, I realized that three or five hundred was the concept? One or two pieces of silver can be converted into more than copper coins, which is more than 1,000 yuan. Ordinary people buy a steamed bun, but two Wen, two taels of silver per month is the salary of the middle level of the West Market, wearing it for so long, Tianxin has not seen the gold of this era!
The third brother was shocked when he heard this, and tilted his head to stare at Tianxin: "What are you talking about?" Do you want to cash out the mat in Xinghualou? That's not even the money you can't set. I heard that the medicinal food there was given to the Queen Mother to taste, any side dish, it cost a few taels of silver, and even there were few restaurants in the East Market that were qualified to eat, only those who were big officials could go in. ”
"Nonsense, the Queen Mother has tasted it, can she release it for others to eat? It's just a gimmick. Tianxin was a little unconvinced, "If it's really so valuable, it will have to be discounted." Eat a meal of noodles, pull it out and it's gone, money is the last word! Got it! This is the lesson that Tianxin and his two lives have summed up.
The third brother pursed his lips, as if he felt that Tianxin was unreasonable, and Xiao Qi's eyes lit up on the side: "Xiao Xin, can we really take the first place?" Take the first place, whether you go to eat noodles or have cash, it's all good, it's all good! ”
Tianxin wilted, what are you doing, the wild goose hasn't hit yet, so she is discussing whether to braise or steam. After thinking about it, he beckoned the third brother and Xiao Qi to come closer: "I thought, we have to participate, the third brother will inquire, what conditions do we need to go?" "Unconsciously, this is the third Lantern Festival of her era, the first two Lantern Festivals were used in the West Market to build momentum, this time the news of the third brother made Tianxin feel that she could stretch her hand longer. Just like the ONLINE game, a new MAP will be released after a while, and how can it develop without expansion. No matter how many places you can win in this competition, as long as you put the exquisite lanterns, mainly those with advertising slogans and logos, to Dongshi, even if the ugly daughter-in-law has seen her in-laws. Maybe it can leave an impression on one or two large families and lay the foundation for entering the East Market in the future!
Now that the serious business in the shop is watched by Ren's sister-in-law, there is no need for Tianxin, a child, to show up. The marketing team is remotely controlled by Tianxin, and it already has a certain scale and pattern, and she doesn't need to stare at it every day. She even distributes the power to each "elder", just as the modern marketing structure, layers of exploitation, layers of supervision, Tianxin is firmly at the top of the pyramid. Although this stall is small, Tianxin also hopes that it can be fully equipped and at least operate in an orderly manner. It's just that the little soldiers around her are veritable "little soldiers", more than well-behaved, but they are seriously lacking, and they don't know how long it will take to be trained before they can be worthy of a big task. Therefore, Tianxin had to use some "pyramid schemes" in her previous life, and it shouldn't be considered illegal to brainwash and favor a little favor, right? Tianxin's little guilt, there is a sense of satisfaction that she has been promoted, and she turns to conceive of her competition lanterns, even if she can't participate, or she can go to Dongshi for a stroll, just like she used to go to "Hang Lung".
