Chapter Seventy-Three: The Association of a Hair Dryer
Autumn.
The weather is getting cooler.
The sky is crystal blue.
A few white clouds floating in the sky, overlooking the yellow leaves on the trees.
Under the breeze, the yellow leaves slowly float down, like a flock of birds flying in the wind.
Li Zhongxin followed behind his father, and there was a faint look of resentment on his face.
He has also seen it recently, as long as he and his father do things together, every time he is indispensable, there is a lot of nagging, as if he is now a loser, a bad boy, now he is in the fourth grade, and his father is not at ease when he cuts his head, so he has to lead him to cut his hair together.
Along the way, he repeatedly told Li Zhongxin several times not to move when he went to the barber shop, let alone make a loud noise, and not to fight with children in the barber shop if he saw children inside.
A few days ago, he asked Wang Dejun to beat Guo Fengchun, and he didn't know how to be heard by his father.
This made Li Zhongxin not know what to do, and he thought depressedly in his heart, am I that kind of person?
At that time, barber shops were different from other business establishments, and the entrance of the barber shop had a red and white stripe for hair salons, with blue colored columns inside.
As long as there are such colored columns, it means that this is a hair salon, as for the origin of this striped colored column, there are many theories, and Li Zhongxin has not figured out why such a thing needs to be placed at the door of the hair salon.
Almost all of the barbershops that shave their heads and faces are state-run, and there are two barbershops in Li Zhongxin's house, and his father often takes Li Zhongxin to the Ximenli barbershop.
As soon as I entered the barber shop in Ximenli, I saw four cast iron barber chairs produced in the sixties and seventies.
There is a shelf in front of the cast-iron chair with old-fashioned razors and old-fashioned manual clippers.
Each cast-iron barber chair faces a huge mirror on which the barber can sit and see himself as he is being cut.
There is also a small mirror next to the big mirror, and the function of this small mirror is that when the haircut is completed, the small mirror is placed behind the barber chair, and people can see the whole situation after the haircut from the large and small mirrors.
After Li Zhongxin and his father entered, his father was naturally greeted to the innermost position by the enthusiastic Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang shook the towel he had just taken off his shoulder and patted the remaining hair on the barber chair while chatting enthusiastically.
"Shang Yong, this is bringing the child here for a haircut today, the child is quite old now, let him come to my side for a haircut in the future, and shave your head in a while, let's ...... the two of us"
Uncle Wang is the person in charge of this state-run barber shop, and he is very famous in Ximenli, and he can be said to be a well-known master.
is enthusiastic about Li Zhongxin's father because Li Zhongxin's father is a carpentry master in the first factory of the family, and some of the carpentry things he does here are all made by Li Zhongxin's father.
But it's a pity that Uncle Wang is good at drinking so many sips of wine, but Li Zhongxin's father doesn't like to drink and socialize very much, although the two have a good relationship, they have never drunk together.
While Li Zhongxin's father sat in an old-fashioned barber chair and began to shave his head, Li Zhongxin was pulled to the other side of the cast iron seat by Master Jiang, the only beautiful barber in the shop.
The beautiful barber in Li Zhongxin's mouth, Master Jiang's name is Jiang Panpan, and he is Uncle Wang's female disciple.
On weekdays, Jiang Panpan likes to study the popular hair of young women, and she is very interested in shaving men's heads, that is, under the strong pressure of Uncle Wang, she will shave the heads of children's most common students.
Jiang Panpan was very reluctant to wrap Li Zhongxin with a red silk shaving cloth, and asked with a pouting face: "Little guy, I'll give you a haircut, do you want a longer one, or a shorter student head." ”
The state-run barbershops are very different from the barbershops of later generations, where people can choose their own head shaving masters, but in the 80s, there was no such treatment.
"Ask him what he does, just shave the shortest student's head, a little fart child, and other head shapes are not reasonable."
Although Li Zhong also had the idea of shaving a special type of head in his confidence, before he could say this idea, the ideal bubble was ruthlessly punctured by Li Shangyong's words.
The student's head was shaved quickly, and after Li Zhongxin finished shaving and washing his head, Uncle Wang was about to shave his father's face.
Uncle Wang's movements were very skillful, and Li Zhongxin was dazzled.
I saw him kick the turntable position at the bottom right of the cast iron chair with his foot, and while the backrest fell down, he put a wooden neck pillow on the table at the head of Li Zhongxin's father.
At the same time as the seat was about to be flattened, he picked up the shaver with his right hand, and with his left hand, he quickly picked up a piece of blackened cowhide about half a meter long on the edge of the seat, and quickly swung it on it a few times.
The shaving quickly switched to the left hand, and the right hand quickly wiped the brush dipped in hot soap foam on Li Zhongxin's father's face......
Seeing that it would take some time for his father to take a while, Li Zhongxin sat depressedly in front of the barber shop and looked at the street outside.
The barber shop in Ximenli in later generations was passively relocated in the early nineties, and Li Zhong confidently pondered whether he should consider doing something about this bustling street in Jiangcheng at the earliest!
Li Zhongxin suddenly remembered that this aunt named Jiang Panpan would also be regarded as a celebrity in Jiangcheng in later generations, and opened the largest beauty salon in Jiangcheng.
Do you need to partner with her to run a beauty salon? Thinking of his current age, Li Zhongxin finally gave up that idea.
Now that his financial resources have surged, it won't be long before his wealth will increase again, like the largest beauty salon in Jiangcheng, which can no longer be in Li Zhongxin's eyes.
Just when Li Zhongxin looked back to see if his father had finished his haircut, he suddenly saw Jiang Panpan holding a hair dryer in his hand.
A hair dryer is a combination of a set of heating wires and a small fan with high speed. When the power is on, the heating wire generates heat, and the air blown by the fan passes through the heating wire and becomes hot air. If only the small fan is rotating, and the heating wire is not hot, then only the wind is blowing out but not hot.
The selection switch on the handle of the hair dryer is generally divided into three gears, namely the off gear, the cold air gear, and the hot air gear, and is accompanied by white, blue, and red signs. Some hair dryers are also equipped with motor speed switches on the handle, which can be used when selecting the size of the air volume and the temperature of the hot air. Behind or on the side of the shell of all kinds of hair dryers, there is a rotatable circular air control hood, which can be rotated to adjust the cross-sectional size of the air inlet, and the wind speed and temperature of the hot air can be adjusted.
Seeing the hair dryer, Li Zhongxin remembered the electric fan at this time.
