Chapter 13 The First Deal
Wu Ziyu was in front of his one-foot-square stall, watching this person come and go.
"Huh?" An old man with white hair walked in front of Wu Ziyu's stall, but retreated, "Young man, this is your stall?"
Wu Ziyu looked up at the old man, although his hair was white and his clothes were not luxurious, but he had his own momentum. This kind of momentum is not the kind of internal strength that is amazing and oppressive, but the kind of scholarly momentum that is so bookish that people respect at first sight, or this is more appropriate to call it scholarly demeanor.
Wu Ziyu nodded, "It's mine, I sell talismans, this is a tranquility talisman, which can make people feel at peace, 10,000 yuan a piece, this is a talisman that can ward off evil spirits, this is a peace talisman that keeps people safe, and the price starts at 10,000 yuan." ”
Wu Ziyu set up a stall because of lack of money, but he was not ready to sell his talisman at a low price. Fu Seal, in the hands of the master, is not difficult to make. But if ordinary people want to draw it, it is extremely difficult. Although the cost of this sigil is almost none, the intellectual property rights attached to it are priceless. Through the knowledge of Wu Ziyu in the past few days, at least he has not seen such a character who accurately draws these talismans.
"Flutter!" next to him, a middle-aged fat man who called himself Mai's fifty-sixth generation descendant, heard Wu Ziyu's words, and burst out laughing.
Although this is Shinan District, the most prosperous place in Qingdao, it is not a place where big money will often pass by. Here, even if you want to fool people, you have to choose the object of fooling, those lovelorn young men and women with a sad face, as well as the migrant workers who write that I want to get rich on their faces, and even those elderly grocery shopping aunts can be fooled, but only scholars are not easy to fool, first, scholars are generally more stubborn, and secondly, they also have quite a lot of culture, and they can't be fooled.
Besides, even if you want to fool, you have to watch people put down the dishes. Rich people have more points, and those who don't have money have less points, but they can't make people hurt their muscles and bones, and if they flicker, it is easy to cause police interference, and they may be caught in the bureau.
Therefore, the asking price of their fortune tellers is generally from 50, and the most are 1,800, which is a big deal.
But Wu Ziyu asked for 10,000 yuan for a piece of paper when he opened his mouth, which is strange if it doesn't scare people away!
No wonder these fortune-telling stalls are bustling in front of them, and he has no business for half a day. Young, young! Young will fall on your heels.
The heir of Mai's god shook his head and gave Wu Ziyu a look that a young man wanted to learn more before coming out to mix.
However, the old man probably didn't hear the laughter of the people next to him, and still looked carefully at the Dao Banner in front of Wu Ziyu and the few talismans on the Dao Flag.
"Can I take a look?" the old man motioned to Wu Ziyu, he wanted to pick up the talisman seal and take a closer look.
"Okay, just look at it. ”
The old man picked up a few talismans casually, and he wondered: why were such light pieces of paper so casually placed on the ground, but there was no wind to blow them away?
Xia Yuanshan was first attracted by the four beautiful books that were revealed: the Three Qing Dao Fu. These four words are very handsome, neat, and have a feeling of Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", but if you look closely, there is more of a wild and uninhibited than Wang's book.
However, Xia Yuanshan didn't have time to urgently inquire about the origin of this book, and then he was stunned by Wu Ziyu's eight words after taking down the talisman seal: Heaven and earth are infinite, and Qiankun borrows the law.
Cursive, so beautiful cursive!
The pen walks the dragon and snake, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the clouds and the water flow, all in one go.
Xia Yuanshan is good at cursive, but this kind of cursive, even at the level of Xia Yuanshan, the director of the Provincial Calligraphers Association, admits that he can't write.
Cursive writing is not just a few random strokes, it can be called cursive. Cursive writing may seem simple, but it's actually the hardest. Just like people, you have to be able to walk first, and then you have to learn to run. If you can't walk, you have to run, you can only wrestle.
The practice of calligraphy is the same, first practice regular script, then official calligraphy, line calligraphy, and finally have a certain foundation in these, and then practice cursive.
Xia Yuanshan has been practicing calligraphy since he was a teenager, and he is seventy-five years old this year, and he has been practicing calligraphy for 60 years, but Xia Yuanshan admits that he can't write these eight characters.
Calligraphy requires hard practice, but it also requires talent. However, even the most talented person needs at least 30 years of calligraphy skills to write such calligraphy.
"Okay, good, good!" Xia Yuanshan said three times in a row, "Give me one of these three talismans, but I need you to give me this cloth, what do you think?"
Xia Yuanshan's words shocked some of the gods and goddesses who were about to watch the joke next to them, although they didn't have glasses.
This old man has Alzheimer's disease, right? A few pieces of paper are so expensive to buy? Or maybe it's a lot of money, but it doesn't look like it?
Peers have all self-reflected: Is there a problem with their own business methods, or is there a deviation in the consumer group? These people are tired and dry all night, and they only make 1,800 incomes, which is still good. And this inconspicuous young man still belongs to the kind of person who is not firm in his mouth, in a simple sentence, he will receive 30,000 yuan at once, without much effort, this is simply Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who wish to take the bait!
"Okay, I'll give it to you. Wu Ziyu was very happy, this piece of white cloth was a scrap he bought for two yuan in a tailor shop in a small market, plus a one-dollar brush and four yuan of ink, the total cost was less than ten yuan, and it was given away, and the most important thing was to make a big deal of 30,000 yuan.
The old man dug out his pocket for a long time before he said dejectedly, "I don't have a salary card, why don't you wait here for me for a while, I'll take forty minutes at most, come over immediately when I get home, let's go and withdraw the money together?" Xia Yuanshan slapped his forehead again, "It's useless to take the salary card, the bank is already off work, or I'll pay the deposit first, you keep these things for me first, and tomorrow I withdraw the money, and you give me the things again." ”
Wu Ziyu looked at the big clock on the top of the New World Shopping Center building in the distance, it was almost eight o'clock. At noon, Chen Jing came to find herself, she said that she got off work at eight o'clock today, and asked Wu Ziyu to wait for herself after work, and she had something to say to him.
Wu Ziyu pointed out three talismans, together with the white cloth that cost less than ten yuan, and stuffed it into Xia Yuanshan's hand, "Don't be so troublesome, I will have something to do later, you take this first, tomorrow at this point, you will come and give me the money again, I am still here." ”
After Wu Ziyu finished speaking, he stuffed the rest of the talisman seals into his pocket, turned around and left.
Xia Yuanshan was a little stunned, did this young man really not care about money, or did he really have something? Although he didn't have the intention of leaving, this young man gave him too much feeling.
Xia Yuanshan is a professor at Haida University, and after retirement, he was rehired to teach at the school with a high salary, he has money, and the pension and re-engagement pay are very high, almost 17,000 yuan a month. 30,000 yuan, he really didn't look at it, but it felt really good to be trusted.
Xia Yuanshan cherished and put away Wu Ziyu's excellent work, and kept thinking about good words, good words, and then folded the talisman seal worth 30,000 yuan and put it in his pocket.
