266 As long as I don't work hard, fate won't work
Anyway, this team building activity similar to the truth or dare game is finally over.
Although there are many unsatisfactory places, they are generally good, especially for Hu Qiang, and they have gained a lot.
A reward of 30,000 yuan, plus a high-level violin skill, is enough to soothe the shame of Hu Qiang wearing a liar fine hat for three days, and the depression of signing an unequal treaty with Ouyang Mofei.
In line with the idea of repaying debts early and relaxing as soon as possible, Hu Qiang called Ouyang Mofei after work, wanting to invite her to dinner early and end those unequal treaties as soon as possible.
It's a pity that Ouyang Mofei's phone still can't get through, it is still an automatic message, and no one answers.
In desperation, Hu Qiang had no choice but to leave a message to Ouyang Mofei on WeChat, asking her to eat and watch a movie to end the torment early.
It's a pity that Ouyang Mofei quickly replied that she is not free now, and she will talk about it another day.
This reply made Hu Qiang sigh with relief and sigh at the same time.
Because this means that there is no telling when you will be able to pay off your debts.
But what's even more terrifying is that he still has a little expectation in his heart, which is what makes Hu Qiang really afraid.
"It's all an illusion, an illusion! I just don't want to be in debt, that's all. ”
After giving himself an explanation in his own words, Hu Qiang stopped thinking about these things, and went to a piano shop with great interest.
He wants to buy a violin and fulfill his childhood dream!
Well, at this time, it greatly reflects the advantages of the super first-tier city Magic Capital.
If it were the second-tier city where Hu Qiang lived in his previous life, it would be night, and most of the piano shops would have closed down long ago, and it would be impossible to continue to operate.
But here, even in the evening, even if it is far past the end of work, there are still many piano shops that are open for business, and in terms of convenience, it is really convenient.
Hu Qiang has a limited understanding of the violin itself, so he can only buy it from a big piano store in line with the tenet that the more expensive the better.
He also checked the violin on the Internet before, and found that if you just pursue good timbre, about 30,000 to 50,000 domestic handmade pianos are professional enough, and no matter how high it is, it is a guqin that is pretended to be used, and the improvement of timbre is actually very limited, at least ordinary people can't hear it.
Moreover, string instruments such as the violin are not the same as the piano and the like, and the timbre has a little relationship with the price, but it is not necessarily related.
Many very cheap pianos may have a sound comparable to hundreds of thousands.
This is because the violin is a thing, the really good piano needs to be handmade, and the timbre of almost every piano is slightly different.
Relatively speaking, the more funds the big piano store has, more pianos, and more handmade pianos from senior luthiers, the greater the chance of good pianos.
Of course, on the whole, it must be that the more expensive the piano, the better it is, which is also undoubted.
After all, everyone is not a fool, those who buy and sell pianos understand timbre, and those with bad material and timbre do not dare to ask for a price unless they are real antiques.
The kind of practice piano with a very cheap price, but the timbre is similar to that of hundreds of thousands of performance-grade pianos, which appears more in legends, and is no different from picking up leaks.
Soon, Hu Qiang took a taxi to a nearby piano shop he searched for on the Internet.
This piano store is called "Confidant", it is a large chain store, and its reputation is not bad, it is said to be very famous in the local area, and it represents many well-known brands of musical instruments, such as pianos, violins, cellos and the like.
Hu Qiang belongs to the people who suddenly have professional-level violin playing skills, and the lack of a long learning time naturally lacks enough precipitation, at least the understanding of the violin itself is not enough.
Unlike other people who have been playing the piano since elementary school, while learning to play the piano, they generally have to learn how to maintain the piano, how to tune it, and even how to choose the piano.
Hu Qiang doesn't know all these skills, he can only simply play the violin, and this is also one of the disadvantages of system skills, that is, professional enough, high-end enough, but not comprehensive enough.
For example, among Hu Qiang's skills, there are top-level Chinese massage, proficient-level Huayang acupuncture, and advanced Chinese medicine blending, these three skills can be regarded as the ability in traditional Chinese medicine, and normally it is more effective to learn together, but the system has to be given separately.
And the levels in this are also a bit interesting, top, proficient, advanced, and it doesn't feel the same.
Since the system did not give a detailed explanation, Hu Qiang understood in practice that the top should be the highest level, similar to the genius master level of the Dao.
The mastery level should be slightly inferior to the top level, which means that sincerity, accessibility, and if it is a musical instrument, it is probably similar to the highest level that ordinary people can achieve.
Advanced is better than proficient again, similar to professional level, like a professional teacher in a super-first-class conservatory, or a professional teacher in a super-first-class medical school.
There should be intermediate and junior levels below, but so far Hu Qiang has not obtained this level of ability, so he is not judged.
In short, for a person like Hu Qiang, who has first-class playing skills and almost no ability to pick the piano, it is not wrong to go to a big piano shop to buy an expensive piano.
"Sir, what do you think of this instrument? All European materials, pure handmade, the sound is translucent, full of magnetism, it is definitely a high-end performance level piano! ”
Hu Qiang picked up the violin recommended by his boss, looked left and right, and felt that the appearance and feel were not bad, but he didn't know what the actual timbre was.
So, Hu Qiang asked the boss to tune the tone, and he wanted to try it himself.
The boss didn't contain a lake, so he decisively tuned the tone and brought a bow specially for the audition.
No way, the new bow didn't hit rosin, it couldn't make a sound.
Hu Qiang took the bow from the other party, put the violin on his shoulder and tried to pull it.
As soon as he pulled the strings, a familiar feeling came over him, as if he had played the guitar before, as if he had played it thousands of times.
Closing his eyes slightly, Hu Qiang silently thought about a classic "Meditation" in his heart, and then his hands began to move.
Soon, a piece of contemplation flowed out of the violin in Hu Qiang's hand, the sound was clear and mellow, and the subtleties were hard to say, but the overall feeling was similar to that of a violin solo in a concert.
Although the price is a little expensive, it costs 58,000, but with this timbre, it is worth it.
Hu Qiang tried the other two 30,000 and 20,000 again, and found that the sound quality of these two pianos was indeed different from that of 50,000.
Although the treble part is about the same, the midrange part is not as mellow as the fifty-man, and if you listen carefully, the sound of the cheap piano is not delicate enough under the same pitch conditions.
As for the ninety-eight, I feel that the timbre is not much different from the fifty-eight, and it sounds like a level.
If it's higher, there's no more here.
Because there are more than 100,000 violins are generally imported, they have to go to other big piano stores, such as the headquarters of confidants.
The piano shop here is still dominated by popular pianos with a price of no more than 100,000 yuan, and they do not enter the kind of high-end pianos.
Of course, it's not impossible, but you have to customize it in advance, and if you buy it on the spot, it will definitely be out of stock.
However, according to what the store manager said, in fact, at the level of more than 100,000 yuan, there is not much difference in sound quality with about 58,000 domestic handmade pianos.
Unless your price exceeds 500,000 yuan, then you can find the gap again, but the gap is still very small, only professionals can feel it, and ordinary people can't detect it.
chose and chosen, and Hu Qiang finally chose the fifty-eight thousand, because he was more acceptable to this price.
It's not that the ninety-eight can't afford it, but that he doesn't think it's necessary.
His current income is high, but he still understands the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
Who dares to guarantee that the system is always there, and who dares to guarantee that the system rewards will always be there?
Therefore, it is only right to save more money while the rewards are strong enough now, and then save money to buy a house.
I have money in my hand, and I don't panic in my heart.
When you become a multimillionaire completely, it's not too late to be extravagant.
Now, it's better to be simpler.
Otherwise, it doesn't match your identity.
After choosing the piano, Hu Qiang added WeChat with the boss.
The main reason for this is to ask the boss at any time in the future how to maintain the piano and how to adjust the pitch.
Because according to the boss, if the violin is not used for a long time, the strings are usually loosened, and the string tuning pitch is temporarily adjusted when playing.
Masters will tune the strings by feeling, if you don't understand, you can use a tuner, or simply download a tuner on your mobile phone.
Hu Qiang came here anyway, so he simply learned to tune the strings with the boss for a while, and waited until he could tune it.
After such a toss, nearly an hour passed, but fortunately, there were not too many guests at this time, and Hu Qiang bought a relatively expensive piano, so the boss was still very patient to teach.
waited for the boss to teach, and Hu Qiang began to try to tune the strings on the side.
Just when Hu Qiang was constantly bowing his head and loosening the strings and then adjusting the strings, hoping to master this technique as soon as possible, a slightly familiar voice suddenly appeared beside him.
"Hey, Brother Ah Qiang, is it really you?"
Hearing someone call Brother Ah Qiang, Hu Qiang didn't care about it, thinking that he was calling someone else.
But soon, Hu Qiang felt that something was wrong, because the voice always felt a little familiar, and it seemed to be saying it to himself.
When I turned my head, I immediately saw a young girl in a coat and a short skirt, with blonde hair and a guitar on her back, and a pair of big eyes.
"Is that you?" Hu Qiang was surprised.
Yes, this is the maid girl who was doing a live broadcast on the side of the road in the middle of the night, when Hu Qiang borrowed a guitar from her in order to do the task, and played and sang a song in her live broadcast room.
At that time, Hu Qiang didn't say his real name, only leaving a code name of Ah Qiang, and then because of the embarrassment, he hurriedly pulled Ouyang Mofei away.
I thought it was just an accident and would never see Marley again, but I didn't expect to see it again here.
"yes, that's me!" The blonde-haired, big-eyed girl smiled, "My name is Mary, remember me?" ”
"Yes, Mary." Hu Qiang smiled, "What a coincidence, we met again." ”
"Do you know each other?" The boss asked suddenly.
"Know, know, know." Ma Li took the first step and said, "We are old friends, but we are familiar with each other!" ”
Upon hearing this, the boss smiled and nodded: "Since that's the case, then you guys talk slowly, and call me if you have something." ”
After saying that, the piano shop owner walked away with great discernment.
Hu Qiang frowned slightly, but he quickly put on a professional smile.
Well, how to say it, in fact, Hu Qiang doesn't like to associate with such a girl, after all, it is enough to have Ouyang Mofei, and then a non-mainstream, well, I'm afraid I can't bear it.
But the most important thing is that when he saw Ma Li, Hu Qiang thought of the shameful performance that night, so he instinctively wanted to avoid her.
What? Ouyang Murphy also saw it?
That's not because she's her colleague and can't be avoided.
What's more, Ouyang Mofei has seen a lot of things about Hu Qiang's troubles, and he doesn't care about that one anymore.
Thinking of this, Hu Qiang hurriedly put away the violin: "Ahem! What's that, I still have something to do, let's go first, you ...... slowly"
"Don't!" Ma Li interrupted Hu Qiang's words and said with a grin.
"It's rare to meet you here, I can't let you run anymore!
You don't know, last time, because of your performance that night, I soared by 500,000 fans overnight, not to mention that my income skyrocketed, and I found a relatively stable job, and I haven't had a chance to thank you!
It's rare to meet you now, and you can't miss it again!
Well, you haven't eaten yet, or I'll invite you to dinner?
It's too expensive to afford it, so why don't you have a barbecue? ”
Hu Qiang frowned, and was about to subconsciously refuse, but the system suddenly sent a task:
You have triggered a new quest. 】
[Accept Ma Li's invitation, have dinner with Ma Li, and reward 10,000 yuan.] 】
Seeing this, Hu Qiang raised his eyebrows and immediately changed his mind.
Also, Hu Qiang just hadn't eaten yet, and was planning to go out for a meal.
Since the other party takes the initiative to treat her, you can still earn system rewards by eating with her, why not?
As for whether it will cause love debts......
What are you kidding, this Ma Li looks like a post-00s in her early twenties, and the age gap between her and herself is too big, so she is unlikely to call.
No matter how narcissistic he Hu Qiang is, he will not be so narcissistic.
In other words, he can be more narcissistic in his previous life, after all, he was whiter, taller, and more handsome than he is now.
But today's Hu Qiang, well, is generally handsome, and he is a middle-aged uncle, so he is probably not attractive to young girls.
Most probably, the other party really just wants to thank himself.
"It's fine." Hu Qiang, who thought of this, smiled, "It just so happens that I'm hungry too, since you're willing to have a treat, let's eat something nearby." ”
"Great!" Ma Li immediately laughed and snapped her fingers, "I thought you were going to reject me, who knows...... Well, it's me who wants to fork in, Brother Ah Qiang, you wait for me, I'll go settle the bill with the boss first, and we'll go to dinner after settling the bill! ”
After speaking, Ma Li rolled her eyes, suddenly took down the guitar case on her body, and put it in Hu Qiang's hand: "Uncle, help me take a look." ”
Hu Qiang looked at the guitar box in his hand, then at Ma Li, and suddenly smiled: "Are you afraid that I will lie to you, afraid that I will run away?" ”
Ma Li smiled: "Where can I be, it's really too heavy, it's not very convenient, you can help me take a look." ”
Speaking of this, Ma Li turned around: "That's it, wait for me, I'll come when I go!" ”
With that, Mary staggered away.
After Ma Li walked away, Hu Qiang looked at the violin he had just put away, then looked at the guitar case that Ma Li had given him, and shook his head slightly.
"Life is full of surprises, I can't imagine that even if I come here to buy a piano, I can meet acquaintances."
Thinking of this, Hu Qiang suddenly frowned: "No, there is a vast sea of people, and it is not a TV series, how can it be so coincidental?"
I was so handsome in my last life, much more handsome than I am now, and I have never encountered such a good thing?
Wait, it can't be the ghost of some kind of peach blossom luck, right? ”
That's right, Hu Qiang remembered that after the previous incident, he was rewarded with a lovelorn gift package, which contained a thing called "Peach Blossom Luck".
The peach blossom luck, only said to add a little peach blossom luck to him, and then there was no other explanation.
Originally, Hu Qiang didn't care about it, but now it seems that maybe the peach blossom is lucky, just to increase his opposite-sex relationship.
If this is nothing, then the tasks triggered by the system should be even more vigilant.
Hu Qiang has met more people and more women since he crossed over, but not everyone can trigger the system task.
But what about this Ma Li, before the system sent a task, so that he took the initiative to find someone to borrow the piano and sing, and now the system sent a task, so that he accepted the other party's invitation and had dinner with the other party.
No matter how you look at this, it's a bit of a forcible pull media.
After pondering for a moment, Hu Qiang suddenly laughed.
"Forget it, I'll be a sugar-coated cannonball."
"The great man said well, when you encounter a sugar-coated cannonball, the sugar-coated cannonball is eaten, and the cannonball is returned."
"As the saying goes, a slap doesn't make a sound."
"As long as I don't work hard, fate won't work, then I'm still afraid of hair."
"I'm not even afraid of Murphy, and I'm afraid of you little girl? What a joke! ”
Thinking of this, Hu Qiang instantly felt calm and no longer worried.
What about fate?
It's not like fate can be together.
You can just be a good friend.
It's like he gets along with that Kochi female neighbor, Ye Zhenzhen.
As for Ouyang Mofei...... Forget it, she's a special case, don't think about it.
In short, the most important thing to be a human being is to be happy.
At the very least, it's nice to have a cute girl as a friend and eat together when you have nothing to do.
I was pictured by myself before.
Keep the bottom line and wait for it normally, this is the king!
