When I came to the store early the next morning, not long after Shen Xing opened the door of the store, a man walked in.

He was wiping the glass cabinet with a rag in his hand, looked back, and said casually: "Wait a minute, sir, the store has just opened, you can take a look first." ”

"I'm the customer who called you last night to order a mask, my name is Zhuo Datong." The man spoke.

As he spoke, he looked into the nearby glass case with the wood carving to see if the wood carving of the mask was still there.

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and looked at him carefully, he had some impressions, although this man's appearance was very ordinary, about sixty or so, but the two eye bags were bigger.

But in order to confirm, Shen Xing still said: "Please show me the transfer record of the deposit you paid that day." ”

Zhuo Datong nodded, took out his mobile phone, called up the transfer page of the deposit at that time, and showed it to Shen Xing.

Shen Xing put down the rag, took the key to the storage cabinet in the counter, opened the cabinet and took out the mask wood carving that had been placed.

In order to prevent dust, he also deliberately wrapped a layer of special gray gauze and put the mask on the small table in front of Zhuo Datong.

Zhuo Datong's eyes were a little straight, staring directly at the mask wood carving in front of him, and he was speechless for a while.

Shen Xing knew that he might have to watch for a while, so he didn't say anything, picked up the rag again, and continued to clean.

After a while, after turning his head and seeing Zhuo Datong stretching out his hand and starting to stroke the mask, he asked, "Did you see the mask and make you think of whom?" ”

Zhuo Datong nodded silently: "The appearance of this mask is very similar to my wife who just passed away." ”

Shen Xing was stunned.

Zhuo Datong continued: "My wife has been bedridden for a long time since two years ago, and the family's savings have been exhausted to treat her illness, until she left two days ago. ”

Shen Xing knew why he just paid the deposit first, it turned out that the family's money was used to treat his wife's illness, no wonder Zhuo Datong liked this mask wood carving very much, but he didn't buy it until now.

After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry, since I promised to keep it for you, it doesn't matter if you delay it for so long." Well, I'll give you another discount, the original price is eighteen thousand, and I will give you fifteen thousand. ”

Zhuo Datong was stunned for a moment, then showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and said, "That's ...... All right? ”

"What's so bad."

Zhuo Datong didn't say anything more, took out a bulging handkerchief from a waist bag he was wrapping around, then opened it layer by layer, counted three thousand yuan from it, and then handed the rest of the money to Shen Xing.

Originally, it was 18,000 yuan, Zhuo Datong paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan first, and then today Shen Xing reduced 3,000 yuan for him, and he only needed to pay another 14,000.

After the transaction, Zhuo Datong couldn't put it down and looked left and right with the mask, as if the stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and praised: "Master Shen, your craftsmanship is too good!" I don't know why, but when I see this mask, I always have the illusion of seeing my wife's young appearance. The more I look at it, the more I look like it, the more I look at it, there are too many memories in my heart! ”

"That's because I'm destined for you." Shen Xing smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

Zhuo Datong didn't leave immediately, chatting with Shen Xing while drinking tea, and the topic was mainly focused on taking care of his wife after being sick all these years.

He and his wife have a son, and life is also very poor after starting a family, and later his wife Jiang Guirong fell ill and couldn't get out of bed for two years.

There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and at first the son will give a little money and come to take care of it, but then it slowly comes less, and his life is not easy, so he slowly stops giving money.

Zhuo Datong took care of his wife very hard every day, relying on the pension of the end of the year, he himself had to go out to do casual work, and reluctantly bought therapeutic medicine for Jiang Guirong, so he maintained it for two years.

Now that Jiang Guirong is gone, Zhuo Datong's heart is very complicated, he doesn't want his wife to suffer anymore, and he doesn't want her to leave him, until one day when he accidentally passed by the Tingwu wood carving shop, he saw this mask.

In his opinion, this mask is too much like his wife, and the more he looks at it, the more it looks like it, and it evokes many good memories of his past.

So Zhuo Datong decided to hide it from his family, how could he buy this mask, originally he didn't have any extra money on him, until his wife died and received some gift money after the white thing, so he had the confidence to buy it.

repaid the foreign debt he had borrowed to treat his wife's illness, plus the purchase of a mask, Zhuo Datong only had 2,000 yuan left on him.

According to him, after receiving some gift money, his daughter-in-law instigated her son to find it two or three times, and forcibly took 5,000 yuan from the old man.

After listening to Zhuo Datong's account, Shen Xing didn't speak, got up and went to the counter and took out the four thousand yuan he had just collected and put it in Zhuo Datong's hand.

"I'll only charge you 10,000 for this mask, and you can take the rest of the money back. Don't give it to your son in the future, you can eat whatever you want, wear whatever you want, and live a good life. ”

Zhuo Datong was stunned, and after a while, his eyes were a little moist, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Shen Xing comforted him a few words and refilled him with a cup of tea.

This mask wood carving is indeed the best wood carving in the store at the moment, and it is destined to be impossible to discount just because someone is destined to see the familiar face in it.

And this is only the first mask to be put on sale, and when the fame comes out in the future, the sales price will definitely be more than that.

Although Zhuo Datong's experience is indeed a bit special, it is impossible to give it to him in vain, and Shen Xing's effort in making the mask cannot be ignored either.

Of course, for Zhuo Datong, he is already very grateful.

After chatting for a while, at noon, Zhuo Datong ordered some food and sent it to the store, and the two had a meal together, which could be regarded as a sign of his gratitude to Shen Xing.

For Shen Xing, this is just a small episode, if the wood carvings he sells can bring different psychological comfort to himself while bringing him income, this is also a big achievement.

In the afternoon, Li Naijing called, she is currently working with Zheng Ruijun on the case, investigating whether a criminal case involves abnormalities, and she can't get away for the time being.

Earlier, they received a call from a student from Yungu Vocational College, saying that it was haunted in the dormitory apartment, and they thought that this might be related to the incident in the annex building of the library that night, so Zhao Wenbo went alone.

Li Naijing felt the need to ask Shen Xing to go as well to assist Zhao Wenbo to see what was going on.

The big bag on the heads of the two has not disappeared yet, and it can be regarded as an injury case.

Shen Xing said: "But I can't open the store in the afternoon, what should I do?" ”

"If it turns out that something is really wrong with the academy, the amount of this case is still 3,000 yuan, plus the loss subsidy for you not being able to open the store in the afternoon." Li Naijing said without thinking: "What is your usual half-day turnover?" ”

"What's going on...... There has to be a ...... Two...... Two thousand. Shen Xing thought that he didn't make any money selling masks and wood carvings in the morning, so he had to pick up a handful of wool from the Security Department at this time.

"Your little broken shop has a turnover of two thousand in half a day?!" Li Naijing asked in surprise.

"That's a maximized estimate." Shen Xing squeezed out a smile, feeling that he couldn't be fooled, and then lowered the standard, "One thousand, one thousand is still there." ”

"Two hundred." Li Naijing's tone was firm.

"Eight hundred."

"Two hundred."

"Five hundred."

"Two Hundred"

"I won't tell you, there are guests coming, and I'm still a big customer, repeat customers!"

"Okay, five hundred."

"Deal!"
