Chapter 159: Feel Happy

A barber in a white lab coat straightens the customer's head.

I looked from behind, then in front of me in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

Pick up a small duster on the table and dust it off for the customer.

He took the tweezers off, took off the white cloth that the client was wrapping around, and dusted him twice around his neck.

"Alright, next."

After the barber master finished speaking, he picked up the large tea jar on the side and drank a few sips of water.

"I'm looking for Master Li, you go first!"

The young man at the front said to the one at the back.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

It seems that this one is not very particular, and he doesn't have to have an acquaintance to cut his hair.

Now he can sort it out in advance, and after thanking him, he walks directly to the stool and does it.

"Master, the ticket is here for you!"

The man put a green ticket on the master's tool table and said.

"Okay, comrade, do you want to be shorter or longer." The master asked, putting down the water glass.

"Short, short."

"Okay~"

Now Xu Lingjun can see it, but he didn't expect that he could pick people in this queue.

This green ticket is the invoice, and this ticket costs two cents.

The blue ticket is for a haircut and a shave, and it costs four cents.

Xu Lingjun observed again, at this time, there was no personal customization, all kinds of hairstyles.

The barber asked if you wanted to be shorter or longer.

The haircut is almost the same hairstyle, of course, the subtleties depend on the barber's personal skills and habits.

It's really because of this difference that some people will wait in line for a certain master to shave their heads, and some who don't pay attention to it are just like that.

And for the barber, the more he shaves his head, the greater the value of the ticket he receives, and the more prize he receives at the end of the month.

After Xu Lingjun knew this, since he could choose, he was ready to find a good shaved master.

It didn't take long for him to lock on one.

The reason why he was able to lock this one in such a short period of time was because he saw that there were a lot of blue tickets on the other party's table.

After looking at the gap, Xu Lingjun hurriedly took out a cigarette and saluted each of the people lining up on the left and right.

"Comrade, come and smoke, I'll talk to Master Liu, and you can help me see the location."

Xu Lingjun said to the two guests on the bench.

He just heard the guest call the other party, Master Liu.

"Okay, no problem."

"It's okay, comrade, we'll keep an eye on you, you go!"

After Xu Lingjun got a response, he walked towards the Master Liu he was optimistic about.

This Master Liu has already cut the guest's hair and is about to shave him.

Chef Liu made a clean towel, set up the hot towel, and warmed the towel for the guests first.

The hot towel is exquisite, mainly to expand the pores of the guests and soften the beard.

Anyone with experience knows that it's best to wait a minute or two at this time.

Xu Lingjun took advantage of this time to come over, ready to get close to Master Liu.

"Master Liu, come and smoke."

Xu Lingjun took out a cigarette and handed it to Master Liu and said.

Master Liu was not polite and took it directly.

In this day and age, it's normal to smoke a cigarette, and it doesn't matter.

"Master Liu, I'll ask you to help me comb my hair and shave my beard in a while."

Xu Lingjun took out a match and lit it for Master Liu, and said with a smile.

Master Liu has a craft, especially this kind of good craftsmanship must be respected.

"Okay, I'll come over when the queue arrives."

People at this time have principles, which means that although you smoke a cigarette, you still have to queue up.

Wait a minute, it's your turn, just look for him.

"Okay, I'll come back to you later."

Xu Lingjun didn't say much, he handed over the cigarette like this, said a few words and went back to wait.

"Comrade, you're looking for Master Liu to shave!"

Back in his seat, the young man next to him started talking.

How can I say that they have a friendship, no, the cigarette hasn't finished yet, anyway, it's okay to talk!

"Yes! My beard is a bit hard. Xu Lingjun also chatted casually.

"Then you can be regarded as finding the right person, Master Liu shaves his beard for this, and Master Wang shaves his head for this."

The young man said directly with two thumbs up.

"It's not that Master Liu's hair is a little old-fashioned."

"Master Wang is different, don't look at him young, but his hair is different, he looks young."

The young man explained again.

Now Xu Lingjun understands that this is the aesthetic gap between the older generation and the younger generation.

That's why this young man thinks that Master Wang, who is also a young man, has a good haircut.

Sure enough, Xu Lingjun saw that the young man said that Master Wang had a lot of green invoices on the tool table.

Chatted with the young man about some gossip in the city.

This young man is also a fashionista in the city, what a good place, and he is so delicious that he is a treasure!

let Xu Lingjun, a "rural person", understand a lot of "insiders" in the city.

After chatting for half an hour, the young man was in first place.

When Master Liu called the next one, the young man directly asked Xu Lingjun to go first.

It seems that he is ready to wait for the young Master Wang to give him a haircut.

When Master Liu saw that it was Xu Lingjun, he nodded to him and motioned for him to sit on the stool.

He picked up the large tea jar next to him and took a few sips of water.

Don't feel arrogant, that's good, people are paid.

"Master Liu, the ticket is here! Let's take a break from the smoke first. ”

Xu Lingjun handed over a cigarette first and said, "Skilled craftsmen must be respected."

"I'll give you a shave and smoke in a while."

Master Liu took the cigarette, pinned it behind his ear, and let Xu Lingjun sit on the chair in front of him.

Sitting on this old-fashioned chair for shaving heads, the head shaving master was wearing a clean white coat, which made Xu Lingjun feel like he was going to a dentist.

After Xu Lingjun sat down, Master Liu brought him a white cloth to wrap his clothes.

In particular, the neck is tightly encircled to prevent hair slag from falling into the neck.

"Long, short."

"Shorter."

After Xu Lingjun finished speaking, Master Liu cut it.

People in this era tend to keep it shorter, so that the interval between the next hair cut can be longer.

Besides, the short hair is neat, and people in this era work hard and sweat a lot.

The sanitary situation is certainly not comparable to that of later generations.

Xu Lingjun cut his hair last time he cut it from Xiuzhi.

Xiuzhi is not a professional haircuter, and the cut is not neat.

But it's like this in the countryside, and whose hair is almost the same as a dog's gnaw.

But now that his hair has grown, he doesn't see it much.

"Come, comrade lean back, face slurking."

After cutting his hair, Master Liu stepped lightly on the stool, and Xu Lingjun leaned back and leaned down.

Soon a hot towel was applied to the face, and the refreshing feeling was not to mention.

At this time, Master Liu lit the cigarette behind his ear and prepared soapy water for Xu Lingjun at the same time.

I saw that he kept stirring with a small brush, and slowly the white foam rose.

After the cigarette is smoked, the soapy water is ready.

Master Liu took off the towel on Xu Lingjun's face and began to apply hot soapy water to his face.

Xu Lingjun is a sideburns beard, and his beard is still very hard, and he struggles to shave it himself.

After applying soapy water, Master Liu picked up the razor and rolled back and forth on a piece of leather next to the work table, making a sound of "呲~呲".

Xu Lingjun remembered that he was quite scared when he saw this when he was a child, and when he grew up, he specially checked why the razor had to be sharpened on the leather.

In this way, sharpening the razor with leather is mainly to keep the razor sharp and increase the delicacy of the blade.

After that, it was amazing, Xu Lingjun's two cigarettes and his respect for the artist played a role.

Master Liu not only shaved Xu Lingjun's beard, but also gave him a piercing of his ears and nose by the way.

This is real kung fu, and ordinary people can't do it.

In the end, he took a stack of hot towels, and when he got up, he gave Xu Lingjun a few shots.

Xu Lingjun really felt the happiness of his grandfather this time.

"Thank you, Master Liu."

When Xu Lingjun was leaving, he handed Master Liu another cigarette.

Master Liu replied, pinned the cigarette behind his ear, and took a few sips of water from the large tea jar.

That's it!
