Chapter 3 Opportunity of Packing
"Boss, borrow your desk, I want to write something."
"Cheng, there's a stool in the back room, you can sit and write."
The proprietress readily agreed.
Bao Guowei moved a stool, sharpened a pencil, spread the white paper on the table, and wrote four big characters from right to left in the center of the paper: "Beans break the sky."
Bao Guowei wants to be a copyist, but he can't copy the original, if he wants to quickly attract people's attention and stimulate people's interest, it is best to write something humorous and witty, funny and serious things have the best effect.
"This is the world of beans, there are no gorgeous spells, only beans that have multiplied to the peak!"
"Li Yan, the power of beans, three sections! Level: Low! Next to the test bean stele, a middle-aged soybean glanced at the information displayed on the stele, and announced it in an indifferent tone...
As soon as the middle-aged soybean words blurted out, it was not surprising that it brought a commotion of ridicule in the surging square of bean sprouts. ”
After a short time, Bao Guowei entered a state of full concentration, and suddenly felt that his thoughts were surging, his pen was flying, and the pig's brain overload was also running subconsciously. The pencil slid quickly across the white paper, making a swishing sound. Only when the pencil tip needs to be sharpened and lengthened, Bao Guowei will stop sharpening the pen.
Some of the strokes in this traditional Chinese character are more cumbersome than those in simplified Chinese, and if you don't sharpen the pencil, you will stick together. If you want the article to be attractive, you must not only write beautifully, but also pay attention to the consistent font size, aligned up and down, like engraving, otherwise people will lose interest in reading at a glance.
Time passed minute by minute, and the people who came to the bookstore also came to buy stationery, and occasionally the sound of discussion and laughter could be heard, Bao Guowei was not affected at all, and the paper was gradually filled with block letters with a slight stroke.
When the book was full, Bao Guowei breathed a sigh of relief, roughly scanned it, and there were roughly more than 2,000 words, and he wanted to look up at the time, only to find that there were two people around him, a man and a woman.
The two were looking at Bao Guowei, and Bao Guowei was also looking at them, for no reason, Bao Guowei remembered the laughter he heard before, and Qiang Ji played a role at this time - there was indeed a burst of laughter behind him before. The three looked at each other, and for a moment there seemed to be an awkward atmosphere in the air.
The man looks like he is twenty-four or five years old, about 1.75 meters tall, wearing a straight suit, combing a big back, fair skin, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He also wore cowhide gloves on his hands, perhaps crocodile, and a black gentleman's hat in his left hand.
The woman is also white and beautiful, with a pair of red phoenix eyes on her face, a cherry mouth, light makeup, a white scarf wrapped around her neck, and a tight-fitting cheongsam, showing a plump figure. The most outstanding thing is that it is like Lin Huiyin, which makes people feel knowledgeable at a glance.
"Ahem... This, little sir, I originally wanted to buy a fountain pen with my wife, but as soon as I entered this store, it depends on what you have written. Mr. Xiao's handwriting is beautiful, the pen is fast, our curiosity was hooked at once, this article is really good, I fell into the mind at a glance, and please Mr. Xiao is not strange. ”
The modest man in the suit was the first to speak, and he didn't look down on Bao Guowei because of his ordinary clothes, and his words were as modest as his temperament, and he even bowed slightly.
The good-looking woman also spoke, and her voice was gentle and moving:
"Yes, little sir, at such an age, the handwriting can be so square and neat, this article is also fluent, the writing is smooth, the plot is even more whimsical, ingenious, and it is hilarious to read. It's a prototype of a writer, I don't know who Mr. Xiao studied with? ”
Bao Guowei saw the temperament and clothing of these two people, and knew that he was lucky to meet a nobleman. Bao Guowei also replied:
"Haha, you two have praised it, the kid is not a little gentleman, his family has been poor since he was a child, and he has not even been able to make it to the national elementary school, let alone apprentice. It's just that I usually read some poetry books, and I learned some words with my father and his friends who didn't go to school at home, and this article was an occasional inspiration when I ate potatoes a few days ago, and today I hastily compiled it into an article, which made the two laugh. ”
Hearing this, both of them had some surprise in their eyes. Without waiting for the two to speak, Bao Guowei smiled and continued:
"Besides, the boy wrote this article, which was intended to be made public, eye-catching, as a storyteller to earn some money to subsidize tuition fees - the boy is thanks to his father, the master of the family has been diligent and obedient for more than 30 years, and he sold his personal favor, and Xu Xiaozi went to the provincial middle school to study, but the tuition is expensive, and the boy is not in business, so he has to make this decision."
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, every time he wrote a poem, he would find a shepherd boy or an old man to read it, and he would not stop until he clapped his hands and said it was good. The kid doesn't dare to compare himself with Bai Juyi, the talent of the two of you is by no means comparable to ordinary people, the two can comment on the kid's article, it is the boy's chance, and the kid is too late to be grateful. ”
The man and woman immediately looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in their eyes, and they also had an idea:
This little boy is extremely good, and his writing, words and deeds are quite outstanding. The mind is also delicate, and the words "expensive tuition", "the boy's chance", and "it's too late to be grateful" are strung together in a translation and translation is: I want to go to school, I have no money, the two of you will give me money, and when I come out of the abyss, there will be a big reward!
If what he said is true, in such an environment, he can do this at a young age, he can be regarded as talented, has ideas, will grasp opportunities, and is a worthy investment.
The children of the real family will not be as arrogant and domineering as written in the novel, making enemies everywhere, but are approachable, make friends extensively, and like to invest in talents with difficult family backgrounds, and accumulate contacts at a small cost.
Investing in dozens of struggling talents, if you can have one or two profits, you will have a hundredfold and thousand-fold return, which has been a sure-fire business since ancient times.
The modest man pushed down his glasses, put his top hat on the table, took off his two gloves, and revealed a pair of white and delicate hands: his left hand was placed in front of his abdomen, and he smiled and stretched out his right hand to a foot in front of Bao Guowei.
Seeing this, Bao Guowei deliberately stood up from the stool impatiently, bowed thirty degrees in fear, looked into the eyes of the gentle man, and shook his right hand with him.
"My name is Chu Ze, and my name is Wenchen. Next to me is my wife, surnamed Shen. When I saw the little boy's article, I remembered my younger brother, but unfortunately my younger brother died young...... I have to see the little boy today, and I am willing to be commensurate with brothers! Listening to what the little boy said, his family is poor, it is difficult to go to school, he can't bear it for his brother, he doesn't have much money today, and these silver tickets are for his brother's heart, so accept it. ”
"It's... I see that Brother Wen Chen is just like my deceased brother! The boy's name is Bao Guowei, and he takes his own words for it, and Brother Wen Chen can call me to do it, but this silver ticket can never be used! The ancients had a saying: 'The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring'! You commented on the article today, and you are grateful for it, and if you collect money again, you will not be able to repay it even if you are a cow or a horse! ”
The modest man took two silver tickets from the outer mezzanine of the suit, and Bao Guowei looked at it, it was two ten yuan! He said how to make it, but in his heart he shouted over and over again: Mine, mine! It's all mine!
After playing a lot of resignations, this silver ticket was finally obtained by Bao Guowei. The two exchanged pleasantries with Bao Guowei, and Bao Guowei learned that the two were not local, the man was a turtle in the magic capital, graduated from Cambridge, and came to Gusu to travel to visit relatives, stayed for a few weeks, reported the address of the temporary residence, and made an appointment with the novel to say that he was going to go to the two of them to listen to it and left.
In fact, Chu Ze didn't think of his deceased brother at all, and Bao Guowei's deceased brother didn't exist. Chu Ze never said his wife's name, which was a subtle reminder to pay attention to proportion: verbally commensurate with brothers, don't pull the banner of tiger skin, really treat yourself as a brother.
Chu Ze had far more than twenty yuan of money on him, he was going to wait, and when Bao Guowei ran out of money, he would go to the house to find him, and he also gave a reason for visiting, "I will listen to the novel later". If you give more at the beginning, you won't cherish it, and your appetite will be bigger, and it will be difficult to raise it in the future.
Anyway, this favor Bao Guowei admitted it, touched the two silver tickets in his hand, and couldn't close his mouth.
Look at the time again, it's half past six, the sun is rising, and the golden sunlight is shining on the ground.
Today is really good luck, hexagrams, flying dragons in the sky, good to see the adults - good luck.
