Chapter 441 The Couple Package is the Best Deal
The fog has cleared and the road down the mountain will be easier to walk. Several people had finished eating and drinking what they had brought with them, and they were only carrying the remaining garbage in their hands, walking briskly.
We went back the same way and went down to the foot of the mountain. It was only half past ten, so we had plenty of time, so we all walked towards the pottery shop together.
There are quite abundant pottery clay resources in the Mid-Levels Mountains, which can be considered as self-produced and sold. There are also pottery-making villages nearby, and pottery clay is generally purchased from here. A few years ago, a purple sand mine was discovered. The reserves were not high but the quality was high. It suddenly became famous in the industry, and even the price of purple sand pots in Xi City rose accordingly.
This pottery shop at the foot of the mountain was opened after the hot spring resort tourism plan was completed and opened to the public. The owner is from Sumicun. He also studied ceramic art design in college. He was among the first batch of people to come back to start a business at that time. young people, and the process of opening a store also received strong support from the government.
The total area of the store is more than 100 square meters, and it is also designed in an antique style with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. The front is divided into two areas, one is the finished product sales area and the other is the ceramics experience area.
A few people came here just to experience making pottery, so they walked directly to the experience area. There are many people in the finished product sales area next to it. There are only a few young people here who are learning from the teacher. Tao Huayu, Li Yu, Wenxi and Du Yunkai walked over first to take a look.
Xu Qingsong went to consult with a little girl at the cashier. The girl took out a brochure and showed it to Xu Qingsong while introducing him in detail.
Liu Wangxue stood next to Xu Qingsong and watched with him. The table at the cashier was relatively low. Liu Wangxue bent down slightly, and the long hair on his shoulders fell down and blocked his face. Xu Qingsong raised his hand to help She gathered her hair and pushed it back, then used her hand to block it to prevent it from sliding down again.
The little girl said, glanced at it, and suggested: "It's not New Year's Day now, our store has also launched a couple's package, two hundred and eighty, all expenses are included, it is very cost-effective." She Pointing to the two men and women who were making pottery, he said, "Well, they just bought the couple's package. You can choose four different kinds of clay and make four items. If it's not convenient for you to come and pick it up, you can have it delivered to your home with free shipping. .”
Xu Qingsong thought this was good and asked Liu Wangxue: "How is it?"
Liu Wangxue nodded: "Okay."
The little girl asked again: "You two have done this before "
Xu Qingsong shook his head and Liu Wangxue said: "No experience."
The little girl smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will have teachers to guide you throughout the process, even if you are a novice. , it is recommended to choose simple items. ”
Xu Qingsong turned around and called the other four people over: "How about three couples' packages?"
Tao Huayu looked at him in disbelief and pointed at himself and Li Yu: "No, look It’s clear that we, gentlemen, are taking a couple’s package.”
“There’s nothing wrong with it, we’re just two people anyway.” Xu Qingsong pointed at the price, “It’s a good deal, do you understand?”
Li Yu also flipped through the brochure: "Indeed, the couples package is the most cost-effective."
Xu Qingsong took out his mobile phone: "Look, Xiaoyu doesn't have any objections."
Li Yu comforted Tao Huayu: "It's okay, Brother Huayu, Brother Qingsong is treating us, we still have to help him save some money."
Tao Huayu rolled his eyes: "The savings are not enough for a meal. "
Xu Qingsong was about to scan the QR code to pay, and the little girl covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Sir, I'm sorry, non-couples can't buy the couple's package." "Look, look." Tao Huayu reminded Xu Qingsong, "The store clerk said it's not allowed."
Du Yunkai didn't mind watching the excitement and said to the little girl: "How do you know they are not a couple? If so, wouldn’t you be discriminating? ”
The little girl pointed at Tao Huayu with a smile: "He said it himself."
Li Yu expressed disapproval of this kind of behavior where rich people should save money but do not save money, and looked at Tao Huayu with disgust: "Hua Yu Brother, you are so talkative."
Everyone laughed together. Wenxi pulled Li Yu over, thinking he was very cute, and couldn't help but raise his hand to pinch his face.
Xu Qingsong handed the brochure to Tao Huayu and asked him to flip through it to see which package he should choose.
Wenxi’s hands had been stuck in the pockets of her coat, and then the little girl saw that she had done a manicure. Wenxi usually has to draw pictures, and sometimes he has to actually pinch and hold the lines. The manicure is not that exaggerated. It is based on the length of the original nail bed, and the nails are made two to three millimeters long, but some shapes are pasted on the nails. Intricate decorations.
The little girl said to her: "Well, beauty, if you want to do a manicure, it is not recommended to do the drawing because it is difficult to clean. But you can experience the hand-made ornaments, brooches, refrigerator magnets and the like."
“Yes,” Wenxi then Thinking of it, playing in mud would inevitably lead to muddy hands. She looked at the manicure she had just done and then at Du Yunkai, "Let's break up."
"What?" Du Yunkai was shocked. If you can't do it, just don't do it. What does it mean to break up?
"I won't do it. The couple's package is cancelled." Wenxi said, and then asked the little girl, "Are there any other projects? I don't want to play in the mud."
The little girl said: "Yes, you can experience glaze painting."
Du Yunkai was relieved and stood next to Wenxi: "Then I will be like her."
In the end, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong chose the couple's package, and Tao Huayu and Li Yu each chose a single package. Du Yunkai and Wenxi did painting together.
Xu Qingsong scanned the QR code and paid. The little girl gave each of them an apron and called the instructor.
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong followed the teacher to choose clay. After listening to the teacher introducing the characteristics of different clays, they discussed and chose a piece of golden pearl, a piece of high white clay and two pieces of extra white clay. , I plan to make a set of "tall, short, fat and thin" vase ornaments.
Golden pearls are red in color and belong to the stoneware series, containing evenly distributed tiny particles. High-white mud is ivory white and will be white after being fired. Special white mud is more delicate and off-white. After being fired, it will be snow-white with the texture of jade.
After kneading the mud, throw it again, knead it into shape, dip it in water and put it on the blanking machine. Drawing seems to be quite simple, but when you really try it yourself, you realize that it is not simple at all, especially for people like Liu Wangxue who are not good at crafts and are commonly known as handicapped. The teacher quickly taught me step by step, and then I managed to make a vase that could be seen. When I finally took the vase off and put it on the tray, my hand slipped and the vase fell over. With a loud bang, it smashed into a piece of cake.
I turned around and looked at Xu Qingsong. He was very orderly. The teacher only gave verbal instructions next to him. He didn’t get started at all. He quickly understood the key points and finally made a tall vase with a round belly and a narrow neck using gold pearls. Come out, be taken down firmly and stand on the tray.
Liu Wangxue was ruined, and she had a clear understanding of herself. She felt that even if she messed with this piece of mud again, she might not be able to make something decent. She had experienced it, so she quit and left all the rest to Xu Qingsong. She washed her hands, moved a small stool and sat next to him, and watched him attentively.
