Chapter 68: Honored Guest
hung up the phone and saw that Fei Fei was almost out of school.
Shen Xing followed her, and left a note on the table, telling her that he had something to do and would go out for a while and come back soon.
I took a taxi and went to the wholesale market.
There are all kinds of things in this wholesale market to play with, decorate, and wear, and all kinds of small accessories and gadgets emerge in an endless stream, Shen Xing searched for almost fifteen minutes, and finally found an assembly jewelry store.
In this store, I found metal bolts and metal buckles that can be placed in the wood carvings of the wardrobe, and there are more than 10 models and sizes.
Shen Xing carefully compared, selected three models, and purchased more than twenty at one time, thinking that there might be some use in the future.
Just came out of the small commodity wholesale market, Li Naijing's phone called again.
It has to be said that the efficiency of the Special Cases Investigation Team is indeed amazing.
This time, Li Naijing told him that after she and Zhao Wenbo arrived, they had found and defeated Mei Ruolan's ghost, but there seemed to be something wrong there, she had searched it carefully, but she couldn't see anything.
However, for the sake of insurance, it has been ordered to block the corridor on the 7th floor of Jincheng Building near He's house, and a warning sign has been erected to prevent entering.
In the past two days, the team leader Zheng Ruijun has been on a business trip, and he needs to wait for him to come back to check and confirm, and if there is no abnormality, the blockade will be lifted.
After listening to Li Naijing's words, Shen Xing knew that the time waiting for Zheng Ruijun to come back was the best time for him to act, once all the wood carvings in the wardrobe were completed, he would immediately rush to take that guy away, instead of waiting for Zheng Ruijun to return.
Without further ado, he went back to the "Listening Things" shop, ready to take from the store a few small round corks that could fit into the hollows of the woodcarvings in the wardrobe.
I had some of this stuff in the store before, and this time it came in handy.
Today, Shen Xing was not going to open a store, but in the past two days, he has encountered an endless stream of things, and he has been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and he has not been able to settle down.
According to his usual words, it was almost time for him to close.
Quickly found the round wooden stopper, Shen Xing closed the locker near the corner, stood up, turned his head to look, and found that after a while, there were customers entering the store.
It was a decent-looking woman, about thirty years old, slightly powdered, with long wavy shawl hair, wearing a lilac slim-fitting suit, a pair of fuchsia high heels, and a delicate donkey handbag.
Probably for convenience, she didn't straddle the handbag over her shoulder, but wrapped the golden zipper of the handbag around her right hand twice, and just held it.
It may be that Shen Xing had just opened the door of the store, and when she was squatting in the corner of the wall looking for a wooden stopper, this woman came in, and at this moment she had slowly walked to the middle of the store, looking as she walked, her eyes fell on a row of locked counters.
Inside this row of counters are the blood pupils (eye pupils) and the face skin (masks).
When Shen Xing saw her, the woman was carefully examining the two wood carvings with great interest.
"Hello, ma'am, what do you need?"
Shen Xing looked at the time, feeling a little anxious, but it was also inconvenient to urge the customer.
At the moment, he was concerned about the strange wardrobe placed in the He family, for fear that Zheng Ruijun's brain would twitch, and he suddenly rushed back to Jincheng Mansion overnight today.
The woman turned her head to him and smiled slightly, and pointed to the top of her head: "Trouble your boss, turn on the light above my head, I can't see clearly." ”
Because Shen Xing didn't think about doing business when he entered the store, he only turned on half of the electric lights in the store, and it happened that the light above the woman's head was not turned on at this moment.
Shen Xing didn't say anything, and went to turn on all the lights in the store. Although he was anxious, he still stood patiently aside.
The woman approached the wooden carving of the blood pupil and face again, and examined it carefully.
Both wood carvings have names underneath, one is "Pupil" and the other is "Mask", and there is no other superfluous introduction.
In fact, the appearance of the wood carving of the pupil is not as hideous and terrifying as the blood pupil that Shen Xing has encountered, on the contrary, under his production, this wood carving of the blood pupil is full of absurdity and uniqueness, showing a sense of detachment that is both realistic and different from reality.
After the woman watched for a while, Shen Xing was a little impatient, and was about to speak, when he heard the woman speak.
"This 'eye'...... How much? ”
Without waiting for Shen Xing to speak, she added: "It gives me a very wonderful feeling, I have always believed in my own vision, this thing...... Well, not bad. ”
"How much do you think it's worth in your eyes?" Shen Xing smiled and spoke, deliberately making an unfathomable appearance.
The woman bowed her head and muttered for a moment, her slender index finger lightly touching her chin: "It will not be less than ten thousand." ”
"Please sit down, ma'am, the chair here is cushioned, come, I'll make you tea!"
In fact, after Shen Xing first saw this woman, he didn't say that one of the reasons why he didn't do business today was that he found that the other party's dress and temperament were very few.
Usually, it is rare for a customer like this to come in his small shop, and of course, some customers just look at it casually and will not actually buy it.
However, as long as the other party looks at his work well, he may become a regular customer in the future and bring him a stable income.
The other party seems to have a good eye, and at a glance he has taken a fancy to the two wood carvings he is most proud of, and they are also the most expensive wood carvings in the entire store so far.
As for the specific price, in fact, Shen Xing himself has a psychological price, the blood pupil wood carving is about 12,000, and the face mask wood carving is about 30,000.
The reason for this price is that the blood pupil, a wood sculpture that is close to the atmosphere of the art school, cannot be interpreted only with a realistic image, but must recognize the sense of detachment from reality that it exudes all the time.
As long as you are a person who understands, you will definitely feel this way.
As for the face wood carving, Shen Xing had experimented with it, and when he stared at it, unless it was to accumulate spiritual antibodies, it was easy to have an illusion and feel that this face was very familiar.
He believed that not only himself, but also others would have the same illusion when they saw this mask, and saw some familiar faces in a trance.
It's just that some time ago, Shen Xing didn't find the same kind of person as himself.
In fact, in the final analysis, the most valuable thing about these two wood carvings is that they naturally have a trace of abnormal characteristics, which are very ethereal, and some sensitive people may be able to feel it, while others cannot.
Looking at the woman's appearance now, it seems that she has not been able to find the abnormality of the face wood carving, but is more or less attracted by the characteristics of the blood pupil, and has a strong interest in the blood pupil.
Brewing a pot of tea for the other party, Shen Xing opened the glass cabinet, took out the blood pupil, and put it in front of the woman: "You take a closer look." ”
