Chapter Forty-Six: A New Barber Arrives in the Shop

Jiaxin took the time to reply to Shen Mo, in which Jiaxin specially explained that she had been very busy recently, busy opening a store and studying. But the reason for the delay in replying was not said! Jiaxin didn't tell Shen Mo the landline number in the store, she thought it was good to be a pen pal like this!

It's November, and it's almost winter!

Since the opening of the store for a month, the small worker has found one, but the barber has not been suitable for a long time, so Jiaxin has to go to the store to help whenever she has time!

Jiaxin went to the master's shop first, there was a perm and a haircut.

"Master, I'll come, you can rest for a while!" Jia Xin took off her coat and roasted her hands on the stove.

"There aren't many people today, it's okay!" Song gently signaled Jiaxin not to interfere: "You are so busy at school every day, make a call before you come, if there is no one, you don't have to run again!" ”

"Maybe I'm used to it, but in fact, I'm not so much worried about the business in the store as I miss you!" Jia Xin grinned.

"You child, born to work hard!" Song said softly, and finished cutting his hair in one piece, and then instructed the new worker in the store to wash his hair!

She pulled Jiaxin aside to speak: "Yu Yang came here two days ago. Seeing Jiaxin's frowning, Song gently explained: "It's your senior brother, isn't your shop recruiting a barber, he wants to come over and do it!" ”

Jiaxin didn't ask the result immediately, but just asked the master: "What do you think?" ”

"I turned him down!" Song took a deep breath and said: "After all, that shop is yours, I can't make decisions for you, and besides, he has a bad character and is selfish, I think even if you are here, you will refuse him!" ”

What Yu Yang has done can be seen to be deeply ingrained in the master's heart, although since Yu Yang left, the master has hardly mentioned him, but Jiaxin knows that that kind of injury will leave a scar that will never heal! Those who hurt others will never be trusted again!

Yu Yang is the best example!

"Master, you're right, we don't need a barber like him!" Jia Xin said.

After staying in the master's shop for a while, Jiaxin got up and went to the opposite store, and there were not many customers, after all, the weather was here. A few people in the store are all students from nearby schools, buying some hair accessories and gestures or something!

Xu Xiaochen stood in front of the counter to introduce jewelry to customers, while Jiaxin chatted with Jin Lian on the side.

Jin Lian said: "There are not many people in the store today, but there are a lot of people who buy jewelry!" ”

"I know, I just came from the master, and there aren't many people on her side!" Jia Xin glanced at the master's shop opposite: "I have to think of a way, I can't go on like this!" ”

"You have a lot of ideas, you think of a way, Xiaochen and I will still implement it!" Jin Lian is considerate; "Actually, I know that using my brain is more tiring than my hands!"

After sending off a few customers, Xiaochen also came over, she first asked Jiaxin how the results of the monthly examination were, and then after hearing Jiaxin say that she had a ranking, she was even happier than Jiaxin: "It's great, so that you can get into a good university next year, preferably a famous university, so that whether it is the master or here, we will be happy!" ”

Jiaxin always felt that Xu Xiaochen seemed to have a stubborn attitude towards the university, and she never said it. Jiaxin occasionally mentioned it, and Xu Xiaochen would also say that she didn't study well at that time, so she dropped out of school after graduating from primary school! It is precisely because of this that she now regrets why she didn't study hard in the first place.

"Senior sister, do you want to go to college?" Jia Xin looked into Xiao Chen's eyes and suddenly asked.

"I..." Xu Xiaochen shook his head: "Don't be kidding, I'm nineteen years old after the New Year, and I'm about to get married, what kind of university will I go to!" ”

"If you want to go to college, it's never too late!" Jiaxin encouraged Xu Xiaochen: "If you are worried about tuition fees, there is no need at all, the current income in the store is more than enough to cover your tuition!" ”

"Jiaxin's words from you are enough!" Xu Xiaochen patted Jiaxin on the back, "I just feel that I am too playful at the age when I should go to school well, but in fact, the university is far away from me." I've never had an extravagant hope, I'm content with my life now! ”

"Jin Lian, what about you?" Jia Xin suddenly pulled the topic to Jin Lian.

Jin Lian hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, I'm really afraid of learning, and I'm not interested in learning at all!" ”

Since this is the case, Jiaxin didn't continue to talk anymore, changed to a relaxed topic, and the three of them chatted for a while. At around eight o'clock, Xu Xiaochen and Jin Lian both urged Jiaxin to hurry home, because there was still class tomorrow, anyway, what was going on in the store, they hoped that Jiaxin would go back to rest early!

Jiaxin was also polite, and said that she would go back after saying hello to the master. But as soon as she lifted her foot, someone pushed the door in, and Jiaxin thought that even if it was a customer who was doing her hair, she didn't need to worry about it if she was there!

But the man said, "Are you looking for a barber here?" ”

Jiaxin was stunned for a moment, looking at the person in front of her, who was in his twenties, a man, combing his hair!

"Yes!" Jia Xin said, and led the man inside: "Please sit down!" After the man sat down, Jia Xin asked, "Can you introduce yourself?" ”

The man nodded: "My name is Li Ran, twenty-five years old!" I've been working at a barber shop in Seongnam before! It's been three years now! ”

"Seongnam?" Jia Xin looked at Li Ran and asked, "Which one is in the south of the city?" ”

"Lu Dayong there!" Li Ran said.

"What about him?" Jia Xin was puzzled: "He is the biggest barber shop in the county, why don't you work there?" ”

Li Ran glanced at Lu Jiaxin, and then swept his gaze over Xu Xiaochen and Huo Jinlian behind her, they are almost the same age, but they keep the barbershop in order, it's incredible! He was Lu Dayong's apprentice, and he has been working there since he became a teacher! The business is good, and he can get more than a dozen yuan more than other barbershops every month, and he is also very satisfied!

It's just that later, gradually, there are fewer and fewer customers. He just heard that there was a very powerful barber in the city, who was the first to cut his hair and make hair, he had long wanted to see it, but he didn't have a chance!

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Li Ran asked.

"Of course I want to hear the truth!" Jia Xin also pulled a stool and sat opposite Li Ran, and then asked Jin Lian to pour him a glass of water.

"I don't think it's easy for Lu Dayong to get mixed up, but any store in this county is probably not as popular as you or Song Qingqing!" Li Ran was honest, "Now when it comes to barbers in the city, your name is estimated to be ranked in front of Song Qingqing, who is Song Qingqing, that is the most famous master in the city in the past ten years." ”

"Is it really that simple?" Jia Xin sat there with her legs folded and her hands on her laps. She didn't question Li Ran's words, but she just felt that this was not the reason why he left the largest barber shop in the county: "So you came because of my reputation?" ”

Li Ran lowered his head and looked at his hands, the calluses in his palms had become hard, he had used these hands to cut the hair of countless guests, but he didn't know that suddenly one day, the guests were dissatisfied, as if these hands had suddenly lost the meaning of existence!

"Okay, I'll be honest, I want to learn from you!"

"But we're looking for a mature barber! Not an apprentice. Jiaxin was not in a hurry to give him the result: "Even if I keep you, will Lu Dayong let you go?" Or, how did you explain to your master when you left like this? ”

"People go to high places!" Li Ran didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his departure: "I pursue progress, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Of course you are!" Jia Xin pointed to the cup in front of him and motioned for him to drink water: "Yu Yang, you know, right?" It is the only male apprentice of my master Song Qingqing, the master taught him for free for three years, and when he became an apprentice, it was just in time for the business in the store to be sluggish, so he took advantage of this to change jobs and take away a month's salary! I don't approve of foolishness! But is there any difference between you and him? ”

Li Ran couldn't imagine that this was a question asked by a little girl who was only seventeen years old, in fact, she looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but her mind should be mature, and he was a little nervous. I thought that the barber from the largest barber shop in the county was fragrant and sweet everywhere he went, but he didn't expect to be questioned here by Lu Jiaxin!

"Of course there is a difference!" Although Li Ran was beating a drum in his heart, his face still did not change his heartbeat: "And I don't think there is anything wrong with Yu Yang, we spend money to learn art, and there is no rule in the industry that apprentices must work by the master's side, you are also a person in this industry, don't you know that many of our peers have already opened stores at the moment of leaving the school?" ”

Jia Xin smiled: "It's true! But Yu Yang is different from you, he learns art, but the master doesn't charge him a penny! ”

"So, I wonder if I can eat in your shop?" Li Ran went straight to the point.

"Don't worry, according to what you said before, then why don't you open your own shop?" Jia Xin asked unhurriedly.

"Now the barber shop in this city is almost the only one in the city, even if it opens, it is not competitive!" Li Ran replied!

"Actually, I don't mind if you come to study, or steal a teacher!" Jiaxin stood up, walked to the toolbox and took a pair of scissors: "I don't mind if you pat your ass and walk away after learning more skills in my store, and then go to open your own shop, thus causing me some threat!" The development of this industry itself will be constrained by many factors, you are self-motivated, I think it is good! But there is no room for sand in my eyes, and I do not see the ungrateful! ”

Li Ran also stood up, walked to Jiaxin, and took the scissors in her hand: "I won't be that kind of person, I studied with Lu Dayong for two years, paid the tuition, ate my own food, even if I finished my studies, I worked for him, he also gave me the salary at the lowest price in the market, I don't have to go, but if I don't leave, I won't be able to support my wife and children!" ”

After the plate was revealed, Jiaxin was relieved, she glanced at the scissors in Li Ran's hand and said, "Then it's better to let me see your craftsmanship first!" ”
