Chapter 134: The First Guest
As soon as I said that, I regretted it.
Paper-tied things are for the dead.
Improper use of living people will damage Yangshou, so if I make these things at will, will it hurt a few workers in front of me? They are innocent!
Thinking of this, I looked at Uncle Chen with a distressed look.
Seeing his nod of approval, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ah Dong to bring paper and paint from the backyard and start the operation.
Actually, I did it for other reasons.
That's when I've been in town for so long, and I haven't really taken on a whole set of paper jobs, or even officially prepared for a funeral.
I'm afraid that I will make my own hands, and when I earn money in the future, I won't be able to make good things.
Even if some people in the city can't see it, or don't care about it at all, I can't help it.
Defective products should never be handed over to customers.
Thinking to myself, I didn't stop moving my hands, and after about ten minutes, a half-human-tall paper figure had been pierced and I was starting to paint on it.
At this point, I could already perceive a complete change in the gaze of the workers around me.
Just now, I didn't think it was a big deal to look at the excitement, but now all I have left is shock!
"Oh my God, I didn't expect this little master's craftsmanship to be so good, just now I couldn't speak in tune, don't worry about me, I'm stupid, you can take care of it."
The worker who spoke at first apologized apologetically.
I didn't take it to heart at all, and waved my hand casually to indicate that it was over.
Soon, I finally finished the last bit of paint, and the paper figure was finished.
It is only more than half a meter high, which is the height of the so-called virgin boys and girls, except for the eyes that are not painted with paint, the rest of the place is colorful and vivid.
If you only look at half of the body, you think it's a child from a certain family!
The workers all looked straight in the eye, and the admiration continued.
"Cow! Little master, if there is a need for this at home in the future, I will definitely come to the store to find you! The main thing is that you are strong in this craft, much more powerful than those half-assers! ”
"Before, my relatives were working on paper in the city, and they were still a 60-year-old master, and the craftsmanship was too miserable."
"There used to be a family in the west of the city that sold funeral supplies and also made paper boys and girls, but later because of a taboo, the employer's family was harmed, and then the store closed down and was gone."
I would like to believe that this is true.
The reason is very simple, the master once told me that there are many taboos and rules for doing paper work.
Don't touch some things that you can't do, and don't take chances, otherwise you will definitely die, and you may even be planted yourself!
Since I mentioned this, I think there are some things that must be clarified in order to set the record straight.
At the same time, it is also for the reputation of the store.
"Uncle, don't worry about this, I have Uncle Chen on my side, he is a decent disciple, my master...... That's a particularly powerful character, too. ”
At the mention of the master, my voice paused, but it quickly passed away.
A few workers didn't notice anything unusual, and looked at the paper figures I had just pierced with interest, and some were still thinking about giving them a discount in the future.
I just agreed.
Anyway, I don't know how long it will be in the future, but now I promise to accept the favor first, or it will be obvious that I am too cold-blooded!
In the afternoon, Jia Furong's assistant came to the shop to settle the wages and made sure that we had nothing to help before leaving.
After he left, we closed the store first.
"Uncle Chen, since the paper shop will open tomorrow, do I need to make some samples? So that people know my craft. ”
"Otherwise, how much trouble will it be to be questioned by these workers like today?"
As soon as I made my suggestion, Uncle Chen nodded and agreed.
Now that I was allowed to do it, I was more motivated, so I took out a piece of paper and wrote down what I needed to do, and then I started working intensively.
This busy work was busy until the evening.
After half a day's hard work, I made not only samples of boys and girls, but also some pigs, horses, cows, and sheep.
They even made paper cars.
At the end of the day, there was still some shredded paper left in my hand, and it would be too wasteful to throw it away, so I simply used it to make a paper mobile phone.
As long as you don't touch the screen, it looks just like the real thing.
Of course, the weight of paper is lighter, and it is not as good as the real thing.
Uncle Chen later went to the kitchen to work on dinner, and when Ah Dong came to call me for dinner, he happened to see the paper and mobile phone I had just made in my hand.
He ran over with wide eyes.
"Xiao Wu, who gave you the phone? I'm not mistaken, this is the latest style, it's expensive, more than 10,000 yuan! ”
"See for yourself."
I smiled and handed over the phone.
Ah Dong took it with both hands, but he was stunned the moment he touched it, and then instantly reacted that it was made of paper, but he still felt novel.
"Xiao Wu, seriously, your skills are becoming more and more perfect, and you can completely confuse the real with the fake!"
"I'm not interested in scamming, I just want to do my job, and put the phone on the shelf first, so that it will be convenient for a guest to come and see it tomorrow."
I cleaned up the ground, swept it clean and went to the backyard to eat.
Considering that it will be open for business tomorrow, I went to bed not long after dinner.
I want to keep my spirits up, not listless, and have dark circles heavier than pandas, to deal with the customers who come to the store on the first day!
……
After a full night's rest, I sat in the store the next day.
On the contrary, there were no customers in the morning, but I don't think there is anything to complain about, after all, the paper shop is not a small shop, and no one wants to come unless there is a funeral at home.
It was like this until noon.
As soon as Ah Dong brought the food to the front counter, before he sat down to warm up, the first guest came.
It's a good-looking big boy, tall and thin.
It's just that the underside of the eyes is seriously bruised, and it can be seen that I haven't rested for many days.
I guess there may be a funeral at home.
"Excuse me, is this a place to do paper work?"
The boy asked, looking around after entering the store.
With a smile, I walked up and raised my finger to the counters next to me, while not forgetting to say a few words of comfort.
"Look at you like this, the family should have suffered misfortune, mourning and changing, these are all samples I made, tell me which one you like, I'll write it down for you, and then start doing it."
"Did you do it?"
The boy's face was full of disbelief.
In the face of other people's doubts, I don't feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, after all, I have long been used to it.
"Then can there be a fake? Believe it or not. ”
"I believe it! This little master, then I won't pick it, please help me make a full set of paper work, give you a deposit of 1,000 yuan first, and pay the rest when the delivery is made, do you think this is okay? ”
