Chapter 49: The Science of Gift-giving
Time is the catalyst for creating magical things, and Yun Zheng has a deep understanding of time, and since he has experienced a magical journey, he considers himself a master in this area.
If you are a stone, you can easily see the clouds in the sky gather and scatter, scatter and gather, and toss back and forth for a long time, which will make people bored, let alone be a boring stone.
Legend has it that on this ** mountain, there used to be a filial child, this child had an old grandfather, the old grandfather worked hard to pull the child up, but his legs and feet became clumsy day by day.
The child is a good child, he always thinks that time is unfair to his grandfather, and when he sees his grandfather getting weaker day by day, he can't help but ask: weishenme people will lose their hair when they are old, weishenme people will lose their teeth when they are old, and weishenme people will become inflexible in their legs and feet when they are old?
He asked Cangsong these words, and Cangsong said that this is not reasonable, the older I get, the stronger and stronger I become, and he also asked Dashan, and Dashan said that this is not right, the older I am, the more stable I am.
So the young man felt that time was unfair to his dear grandfather, so he became angry with the pine tree, and prepared to cut off the branches of the pine tree to his grandfather as a crutch instead of his staggering legs, and threatened the mountain, "If you don't smooth the road, I will dig you up and fill it in the North Sea."
The pine tree, in desperation, shook off the rattans that were wrapped around him and offered them to the young man as crutches, and the mountain turned the rugged mountain road into a smooth path.
The young man made a few crutches with rattan, and watched his grandfather walk on the road with his crutches, and when he was happy, he found that the mountain was closing the road and was about to bury his grandfather in the soil, so he hurriedly used the remaining crutches to support the mountain and prevent it from closing, and as a result, this contest was full of many years, and the young man became a stone beam, and his grandfather became the old man's stone under your ass, alas, what a filial child!"
Liu Dutou's entire population flowed down, and a jumper jumped down from the stone, carefully looked at the stone he was sitting on, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the stone looked like an old man.
"The crutch you sold to Xiao Gongzi is really a good thing, the old master is reluctant to let go of the crutches every day these days, and always says that there is a faint cool breath on this crutch that can refresh the mind, do you still have it, sell it all to me." Liu Dutou turned his gaze from the stone to Yun Zheng with an eager expression.
Yun Zheng sighed and said, "I told you last time that I was going to sell it to you, but you still laughed at me for being crazy, and now you regret it?" It's late, do you think this kind of treasure is everywhere? ”
Liu Dutou said with a smile: "Your broken story is nonsense, but what you said is so wonderful that I still feel furious in my heart, I really thought that there was an old man sitting under the ass just now, you forgot what I was doing, catch it quickly!"
If you count how many crutches have appeared in that story of yours just now, I don't think there will be less than five, what do you say? ”
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment and patted his mouth and said: "Guangtu's mouth is fast for a while, why did you tell the truth, but ah, crutches are indeed good things, Brother Liu, I know that you plan to use it to give gifts to others, let alone five, this thing is worthless as long as it is more, give you one, the price is ten, I will write the price slip and efficacy description of the crutches in the box." ”
"Ten times? You are crazy! ”
"It's not crazy, it mainly depends on who you plan to send, if you give it to your uncle, fifty wen is enough!" Yun Zheng's words made Liu Dutou stunned, he looked at Yun Zheng blankly and whispered, "Then why do you want to say ten times." ”
Yun Zheng looked at Liu Dutou impatiently and said, "If it is given to my uncle, of course it is fifty wen, if it is not because some raw materials are used in the workmanship, I won't even ask you for fifty wen."
But you are going to give a gift, and the status of the person receiving the gift is not low, if it were not for the fact that your net worth is not very rich, I would suggest that you pay twenty yuan to buy this crutch. ”
Liu Dutou was stupid again, he always felt like an idiot in front of Yun Zheng, he couldn't understand that Weishenme also bought crutches by himself, because the use is different, and the value of the same crutch will fluctuate so much.
Seeing that Liu Dutou still didn't understand, Yun Zheng had no choice but to break it and crumple it to reason with him.
"If it's for uncle, you only need to give people money, and the remaining part of the value is actually the love between us, and there is a calculable standard for this part of the love, that is, ten yuan minus fifty wen, which is the value of my filial piety to my uncle. In the same way, you give others crutches, just to achieve your purpose, I know that your recent purpose is to ask the chief catcher of Chengdu Prefecture not to have nothing to do and always clean up the mountain people in the mountains, one less mountain people you will lose an income, because the matter is big, you want to achieve a success, so you asked me if the crutches thing is not? ”
Liu Dutou wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said: "That's it, Mr. Han is not as good at talking as others, I just wanted to get a cane to explore the way because I heard that Mr. Han had an elderly father." ”
"Isn't this over, the more expensive the gift you give, the more true your friendship is, as long as Han Zhutou's father takes a fancy to this crutch, there is an eighty percent chance that your matter will succeed.
Over the years, the official has done it, and the gift of giving twenty yuan at a time and the gift of giving you ten times intermittently with two yuan of money are very different, the former will get things done at one time, and the latter will only make things worse and worse, if you don't believe it, try it. "
Liu Zhutou carefully recalled his mentality when others gave him gifts, and grabbed Yun Zheng's arm and said, "Twenty runs!" Just buy 20 runs, I'll only give you 10 runs, right? ”
"Lao Liu, you put your head on and let me beat it, I wanted to beat you for a long time, I'll tell you a new truth after beating you, this truth will make you inexhaustible for the rest of your life, do you want to do it?" Yun Zheng stood up, his fists clenched tightly, and his face flushed, looking very angry.
"it, you can't kill me with a punch anyway." This time, Liu Dutou replied very simply.
Yun Zheng jumped up, struck a shudder on Liu Dutou's head, and then roared and said to him, "What about the love I told you for a long time just now? That is the big head of value, you are a fast catcher, others are fast catchers, don't you want to marry Mr. Han forever? You stupid, shouldn't you give gifts sincerely?
Who told you that you can pay for gifts in vain? Reporting false accounts will wipe out any effort you make, and only short-sighted fools would do that! ”
