Chapter Seventy-Four: Lin's Workshop
Gu Wen was taken aback, hurriedly retreated two steps, and hid behind the old man.
The old man smiled and shouted, "It's a little bit of a leg." ”
A few people rushed to the front, and under the lantern, it was a few young men dressed as men.
These guys wore different clothes, but they were customers from different families, who specialized in helping to pull people into the store.
A few guys saw that Lao Fang's words were bright (understood), and knew that this was an understanding person, and led their young master to go shopping.
The thin guy who rushed to the front hurriedly bent down and smiled:
"We are the guys of Wang's (Liu, Han, Yang) family's musical instrument workshop, not 'Yanweizi' (cheaters). The two masters are clear, please take care of yourself. ”
The old man asked: "What's going on? Whether it's soliciting or intercepting customers, the vigorous ones are not afraid of scaring the guests?"
The thin young man looked embarrassed: "This uncle, our boss won't let me say it, so don't ask." ”
"Remind you, there are a total of twenty-five workshops on this musical instrument street, and it is best not to enter the 'Lin Family Workshop'. ”
The old man smiled and said, "It's the guild huddle together again? This Lin family is from out of town?"
The thin guy pinched the tip of his fingers and said, "This... I don't know very well as a fellow. ”
Gu Wen heard that the Lin family's heart suddenly moved, and he made a color to the old man.
The old man flipped his hand, and two gold coins appeared between the two fingers of his right hand, and with a nameless flick, the gold coins "ding" sounded.
The thin guy stared at the gold coin, swallowed his saliva, and said, "This uncle is really amazing, he has already guessed eight or nine." “
"This Lin family is not new, it's just that the old man of the Lin family has just passed away. ”
"The eldest young master of the Lin family can only dance knives and guns, and he doesn't know anything about making tools and business. ”
Another round-faced and slightly chubby guy hurriedly interjected:
"I heard that a certain big man was unhappy with the eldest young master of the Lin family, and he made a statement in the guild to drive the Lin family out of Luoyang. ”
The old man flicked his fingers, and the two gold coins flicked into the arms of the two guys.
Ignoring the two guys who kept thanking them, Lao Fang and Gu Wen walked towards the street of the musical instrument workshop.
Gu Wen sighed and said: "I originally thought that Luoyang was the capital of etiquette, graceful and elegant. I didn't expect that there would still be such a thing of bullying and vicious competition. ”
Lao Fang smiled: "As long as there are people, there will be fighting, how can there be any real peace and happiness." Mr. Wen, I don't think there is any need to worry so much about this matter, although I am not afraid of things, and I don't need to get into trouble. ”
Gu Wen nodded, these merchants didn't use any drastic means on the surface, and he was not a chivalrous man, so he wouldn't jump out and fight as soon as his mind was hot.
The two wandered the streets, occasionally approaching shops to see samples of various instruments on displays.
The musical instruments of this world seem to be still in ancient times, and they are basically traditional instruments such as qin, zheng, se, flute, flute, pipa, and dulcimer. Gu Wen even saw a complete set of chimes at the door of a workshop called "Wang's Music Fang Flagship Store".
Gu Wen was not in a hurry, he walked around one by one, occasionally picked up a musical instrument such as a pipa and looked at it, and then gently put it down.
He is now a level 39 music master. With the increase of rank, some forgotten musical instrument craftsmanship and music theory in the previous life are gradually recalled. At the same time, the head is stuffed with many of today's pleasure means.
The instruments produced by these ordinary craftsmen on the assembly line are not very eye-catching.
After walking for a while, I saw an old black signboard hanging on a medium-sized music workshop in front of me, with a dark gold "Lin Family Workshop" on it.
The front of this music shop is deserted, but at a distance from the front of the door, there are many muscular and strong men with horizontal eyebrows. At first glance, it's not a good number.
Occasionally, passers-by are a little afraid to take a detour.
Gu Wen and Lao Fang didn't want to cause trouble, so they walked slowly across the street.
At this time, a somewhat familiar figure appeared from a somewhat dark street corner. The man was slender and slender, with long hair reaching to his waist, and his face was not clear, and he hurried close to the circle of strong men.
Some of those men whistled and deliberately crossed their arms to block the road. The woman approached quickly, and saw that she was about to collide.
The woman suddenly raised her head to reveal a white melon seed face, and smiled. Gu Wen remembered that this woman turned out to be Lin Yuan, the front desk lady of Yuelai Inn.
Lin Yuan is tall and wears a goose yellow pleated skirt, this smile is like a lily blooming, and her demeanor is charming.
Several big men were in a trance, and Lin Yuan's skirt swung at the corner, and a few feet stepped on the top of the big man's feet.
Lin Yuan was wearing thin iron heels for work, and after a few feet, several big men screamed again and again, holding one foot and jumping on one foot, knocking over a piece.
Lin Yuan flashed into the human wall, and without stopping, he directly entered the gate of the Lin family's workshop.
Gu Wen couldn't help but laugh when he looked at it, he couldn't imagine that Lin Yuan, who was a white-collar beauty, had such a pungent side.
As the goose-yellow skirt disappeared at the door, Gu Wen's eyes suddenly lit up.
The porch of the Lin family's workshop is not large, and there is a display window on each side. Just now, he was blocked by the strong men and couldn't see clearly, but now Lin Yuan stepped out of a gap, revealing the musical instruments displayed in the window on the right.
I saw that this instrument was pineapple-shaped, with a slender neck and only four strings. It was the ukulele that Gu Wen once made with a pipa.
With the crystal recording of Gaoyuan Jiali Nanying concert, it is selling well in the imperial city and first-tier cities. Gu Wen's "Loyal to the Country" and ukulele began to go viral.
But because the ukulele is a temporary restructuring of Gu Wen, the timbre is not too good, and the technique is difficult to perform, and it is hot in the market and disappears quickly.
This ukulele has gotten rid of the popular simple version of the water bladder shape on the market, and uses a pineapple-shaped barrel, which has a much better echo effect, and it is clear that this luthier has a unique insight into the instrument.
Gu Wen was quite happy when he saw it, and walked towards the Lin family's workshop.
A few strong men were lame and bared their teeth, and when they saw Gu Wen coming over, they glared and squeezed over.
Lao Fang was originally following behind Gu Wen, but when he saw the situation, he suddenly took a step forward, his body was full of cyan energy, and the phantom of a Burmese knife more than two meters long condensed behind him.
Luoyang City is a place where elites and above gather. If there is no backstage, you can't even enter the city below the elite level.
But a heroic-level swordsman can still be regarded as a character, at least he can easily crush this group of low-level mercenaries who were hired to block the door by money.
What's more, the swordsman seems to be just the entourage of this young man. Obviously, this young man's identity is either rich or expensive.
Although the level of this group of mercenaries is not high, their eyes are not bad. immediately put away the turbulent momentum, flashed to the side, and replaced it with a flattering smile.
Gu Wen snorted coldly, his nostrils facing the sky, and he raised his head. There is a chance not to be arrogant and expired.
The interior of Lin's workshop is not spacious, with various musical instruments on both sides. There were no guys in the store, just a young man in black and a short beard sitting behind the counter.
The essence of the short-bearded young man was already close to condensation, and he was obviously about to break through to the heroic level. It's just that his face is not very good-looking. He sat there with his head bowed, holding a sheathed sword in his hand. Between the instruments and the counter, there is a sense of displace.
At this time, Lin Yuan walked in quickly and greeted the young man:
"Big brother, I'm back. Is business going today?"
That young man was Lin Yuan's eldest brother, Lin Muping. He raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "Little sister, you stepped on people again just now? With such a group of people around, how can there be business? You won't let me do it." ”
Lin Yuan frowned and said, "I'm a little woman, it's okay to do it." You are the shopkeeper of the Lin family's workshop, if you hit someone, we will not be able to gain a foothold in Luoyang. ”
Lin Muping smiled: "If you can't get a foothold, you can't get a foothold." After our side branch was separated from the main sect of the Lin family, we relied on the profession of luthier. ”
"Now that my father has died, I have cultivated my sword heart, you learn business management, and my second brother is not talented, and he was forcibly moved to a small city more than ten years ago. ”
"Now you're the only one who knows how to make a violin. When you marry in the future, the inheritance of our branch will be broken. ”
Lin Yuan's face was slightly red: "I don't want to get married, men don't have any good things, ah, brother, I didn't mean you." ”
Lin Muping said: "How can there be a girl who doesn't marry." In addition to practicing martial arts, I can neither do business nor make pianos, and I am afraid that this family business is very difficult to watch. It's better to sell while it's still worth some money, so that you can buy a dowry. ”
Lin Yuan didn't want to talk more about emotional matters, so she changed the topic and said:
"I heard that the second brother has made great contributions on the front line, and this time I can come back to Luoyang to settle down. ”
"Second child, I haven't seen him in fifteen years. I don't know if you recognize it?"
"We are three brothers and sisters, and we are related by blood, how can we not recognize each other. Even for the sake of the second brother, no matter how hard we work, we must keep this family business. ”
Gu Wen stopped in front of the window outside the door, looking at this pineapple-shaped ukulele and liking it very much.
Standing here, the conversation between the two siblings in the room can be heard clearly. The guess in Gu Wen's heart confirmed eight points.
After the conversation in the house was over, Gu Wen asked loudly, "Is there anyone in the house?"
