Chapter 8: Life (2)
The executive decided to finish the morning's work first, and then discuss it with Zijin at noon.
At noon, before Zhi could speak, Zijin said to Zhi: "There is a pottery competition in the town this year, and it is said that there is no restriction on the identity of the participants, do you want to participate?" ”
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'm about to talk to you about it."
"Then participate, I support you!"
"I've only been studying for a few days, so it's not good."
"Have you competed before?"
"No, the Doll City has never hosted a competition. Because there was no competition, the craftsmen knew that their dolls could be sold. ”
"Huh? Isn't it only those who have tested it that are eligible to buy it? ”
"The rules are like this, but if you don't sell the dolls, the craftsmen won't have the money to make money, so a small number of craftsmen will buy it when they see the price is right, and they don't care if they can get a contract or not."
"So it can still be like this! What if they made a puppet without an oracle? ”
"Even if you make a puppet without an oracle, it won't last long, and after a short period of time, the puppet will crack automatically. So this can't be faked. ”
"I know, then it's no wonder that some people dare to buy it even if they can't make a deed."
"Well, the god of dolls has been watching!"
"Anyway, are you going to participate in this competition?"
"You said you supported me, so I'll give it a try! But it's not so easy to create new works, and I'm not used to too many people watching me do things, and I happen to have an oven in the kitchen that hasn't been used for a long time, and I want to study it at home, can you? ”
"But when you're working, someone watches it!"
"Work is work, pottery is all the same, in my opinion it is just a copy, it doesn't matter if others look at it or not. But creation is different, and I can't do it when others see me. ”
"I kind of understand what you mean. But even if I don't understand, it doesn't matter, you say go home and do it, we'll go home and do it, listen to you. ”
When I got off work in the afternoon, I took some clay home from the studio. This is the benefit of the pottery shop to everyone who is ready to participate in the competition, as long as you decide to participate in the competition, go to Geng Ge to register, you can receive the best clay to make your own works. After receiving his share, he returned home with Zijin, and counted the days again, plus there are still ten days left before the competition. After eating, he went into his room and began to think.
If you make the type you have before, not only is it not interesting, but you can still see the shortcomings of the work you have made when you compare it, so you feel that the meaning of the competition is lost. Make a new one? So what to do? I didn't have a clue after thinking about it all night, so I finally hugged the little girl and went to sleep.
The next day, Zijin got up early in the morning and began to ask him how his progress was, and he honestly said that he had no idea and didn't know how to do it. Zijin could only persuade him not to be too anxious, there was still time. Then they went to work in the store together, and as soon as they walked to the door of the store, they met Sister Wei who had just arrived.
"Good morning, Sister Wei!" Zhi and Zijin greeted Sister Wei.
"Good morning, I heard Master Ren say yesterday that you also want to participate in the competition, okay boy! I'm optimistic about you, come on! ”
"Thank you Sister Wei for your encouragement, I will definitely work hard!"
"Zijin, you have to go out with me today, and you have to accompany me to the nearby village to collect the clay money owed by the potters this year."
"Okay, how long will we go?"
"We'll leave after we've got the rest of yesterday in a moment, maybe we'll have to spend the night outside today, okay?"
"No problem."
As they were talking, Zhi and Zijin saw a group of people walking towards them. The leader is dressed very well, he is quite tall and strong, but his appearance and temperament are a little unworthy of the clothes he wears. He saw Sister Wei hurriedly running over. Since Sister Wei was facing away from him, when Sister Wei turned her head to look at Zijin's gaze and realized who it was, she had already grabbed the other party's arm.
"Miss Wei, why did you run away when you saw me."
"Well, Huang Gongzi should know the reason."
"I really like you, Miss Wei, don't avoid me, I'll be very sad."
"There are a lot of beauties in town, I advise Huang Gongzi to focus more on other girls."
"But I just like you, what should I do?"
"Thanks to Huang Gongzi's love, but the little girl can't stand it, there is still something in the little girl's store, I hope the son will let go."
"Don't let go, I finally saw you, you can talk to me again!"
"No, please let me go!"
"Don't let it go!"
Seeing that Huang Gongzi was so unreasonable, Zhihe Zijin was about to go up to help Sister Wei drag Huang Gongzi away, but before he could act, he was blocked by the group of entourage who followed Huang Gongzi.
Just when Huang Gongzi and Sister Wei were arguing, for some reason, Huang Gongzi suddenly screamed, and the hand holding Sister Wei suddenly let go. Everyone didn't know what was going on, even Sister Wei looked inexplicable.
Huang Gongzi's entourage hurriedly went up to check, only to see two holes on Huang Gongzi's hands, and blood gushed out from the holes.
"Childe, why did your hand hurt?" The attendant asked.
"I don't know." Huang Gongzi yelled angrily, and then said, "Miss Wei, I didn't expect you to hurt people with a secret weapon!" And hurt my hand like this, although you don't like me, you don't need to be so ruthless. ”
"I didn't hurt you!" Sister Wei said, "Which of you saw me stab him with something?" Sister Wei hurriedly spread her hands to show her innocence.
Everyone shook their heads, and one of the attendants said, "Childe, I've been staring at it, Miss Wei doesn't have anything in her hand!" ”
"And how did the wound on my hand appear? I don't care, Miss Wei, I'll rely on you. ”
Sister Wei was so angry with him that she really didn't have anything to say, and was about to walk into the store, when she suddenly thought of something, and turned around and said angrily: "Huang Gongzi, in the future, you don't want to send a flower to my door every day." As long as I see it, send one and throw it away. With that, he went back to the store.
Huang Gongzi saw that Sister Wei left directly, and he was also angry, and yelled at his entourage: "You guys check for me to see who is plotting against me." "But after tossing for a long time, I didn't make one, two, three. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, and he was ready to leave when his anger was almost gone. Before leaving, he asked the people under him, "Did you send flowers to Miss Wei for me?" ”
"No, Childe, none of us sent it."
"I said, it's too embarrassing to help me send a flower every day, and if you want to send it, it's a big bouquet, and you have to keep my name, right?"
The retinue all shouted yes. After speaking, Huang Gongzi took people away.
Zijin and Zhi watched from the side, and Zijin said to Zhi: "It seems that the flower was not given by Huang Gongzi, so who could it be?" ”
"I don't know, I just know we're going to work now. You'll have to go with Sister Wei in a while! ”
"If you don't think about it, I almost forgot. You hear that, it's possible that I'm not home at night. ”
"I'm fine alone, and besides, I still have Zigui and Xiao Liang with me, anyway, I want to compete at home, don't worry!".
"Alright, let's go inside!"
