Chapter 114 Three hundred and sixty lines, the number one scholar
Everyone in the village believed in Li Xiang's craftsmanship.
Because Li Xiang makes so many things and posts them online, including drums, hairpins, etc., no matter how well he makes them, he is very ingenious and can cut them well.
Soon, the whole village knew the good news. Not only the elderly came to line up, but also some children came under the leadership of adults.
Grandmothers and some aunties also came. Because they are older and it is inconvenient to wash their hair, short hair is easier to take care of.
"Thank you for your love. Do you mind if I do a live broadcast?" Li Xiang said while preparing hair cutting tools.
Everyone responded: "I don't mind, I don't mind."
"Live broadcast whatever you like."
"The live broadcast is great. It's becoming popular. You can help us sell souvenirs in the future."
Some people are curious: "This can also be broadcast live? Is anyone watching?"
"Oh, what the heck, it's none of our business. It's great if we can enjoy free haircut services!"
Of course, there are also some elderly people who are more reserved and don't want to appear on camera, so they say: "Xingya, when you wait for me, don't let the camera point at my face."
Of course Li Xiang was satisfied and said: "No problem, just point it at the back of the head when the time comes."
With this said, everyone's last worries are gone.
There are also some elderly people who are in slightly better health and take the initiative to help. Well, Li Xiang provides free services to everyone, how can he be busy alone? How can he be busy alone?
It's a sunny day today, and it's almost the new year, so the temperature is still relatively warm.
Grandma sat in the crowd, chatting with the villagers in line, and looked at her grandson with a smile from time to time, feeling full of relief in her heart. Xin said that the house has not been so lively for a long time.
The past few months since Li Xiang came back have been more lively than the previous ten years combined.
Li Xiang set up a chair at the gate, and on a small table were the hairdressing tools he bought. In fact, he didn't buy much, just a simple electric clipper, a long flat shears, and a long toothbrush. Scissors, a plastic comb, a razor, a yellow hair removal sponge, and a blue scarf. The total does not exceed 300 yuan.
The hair dryer is used directly at home.
He pulled out a long-term socket from his home and placed it on the table.
Not far from the table, there was a stove with hot water boiling on it, and a large bucket with cold water next to it. In addition, there were two stools, one high and one short, for washing hair, and a basin. , towels, shampoo, etc. are all shared.
We are all from the village and know the basics, and there are no infectious diseases, so what else do we need to pay attention to.
There are two enthusiastic old people who are responsible for boiling water and washing the hair of people who are about to get a haircut in advance.
The first person to try was one of Li Xiang's grandparents. Li Xiang's great-grandfather gave birth to five sons and three daughters. Li Xiang's grandfather ranked second and this old man ranked fourth, so Li Xiang called him "Fourth Grandpa". In some places, people call them "Grandpa", "Master", "Grandpa", "Daddy", etc., which are all the dialect names of grandparents. Even within Sichuan Province, the names are different in different places.
As the saying goes: "Ten miles have different customs, and hundreds of miles have different customs." Sichuan Province should be one of the provinces with the greatest differences, because when Huguang reclaimed Sichuan, there were many immigrants from various provinces. In fact, it is not just Huguang, but also involves more than a dozen other provinces, but the number of people is relatively small.
The geography and landforms of Sichuan Province are also very different, with plateaus, basins, grasslands, glaciers... it is said that "Sichuan Province has a thousand faces". Different living environments will also give rise to different cultural customs.
As for grandma, there are also various names. Li Xiang's family calls her "Mother-in-law". Of course, there is no problem in calling me grandma. After all, times have changed and Mandarin is commonly used everywhere.
The "third wife" who lived in Li Xiang's house before was the wife of Li Xiang's "third grandfather". That Third Grandpa is the cousin of Grandpa Li Xiang, ranking third in their lineage, so they are called "Third Grandpa" and "Third Po".
The third grandfather's branch is in a worse situation. His son died in infancy and his three daughters married outside. Now the third wife is the only one left in the village. The third wife is also here today. She wants to get a short haircut because long hair is difficult to take care of. It is too troublesome for the elderly to wash their hair in winter.
There are several others with the same "three", because they are not from the same branch. In rural areas, it is more complicated because there are many relatives.
For example, Li Xiang called Li Jintang "third uncle" before, just because of the three "Jinyu Mantang" brothers, Li Jinyu, Li Jinman, and Li Jintang, Li Jintang ranked third in their branch.
He is not his third uncle. Li Xiang's father has dozens of contemporaries, cousins, and cousins, too numerous to count. Because there are too many, the relationship is far and near, and many of them are no longer "human relations".
If every family "leaves", they will have to pay a lot of money a year, which is too much to bear.
Li Yucheng is a child of Li Xiang's "fourth grandfather". This "fourth grandfather" is his fourth grandfather because he is the biological brother of Li Xiang's grandfather.
Although the "fourth grandfather" was a few years younger than Li Xiang's grandfather, he got married and had children earlier, so Li Yucheng was older than his father.
There is no way. In matters like marriage, apart from the matchmaker's words, it still depends on whether you are sweet-tongued and whether you can coax a girl.
Li Xiang's grandfather had a dull temperament, was the worst among his brothers, and got married relatively late. When Li Xiang was a child, he heard his grandma and grandpa joking that grandpa was useless. When the "third wife" first came here, she was originally arranged for grandpa Li Xiang, but the third wife fell in love with grandpa Li Xiang's cousin instead.
Because Grandpa Li Xiang has a very good relationship with his cousin, and he was always with him during the blind date. Who would have thought that the two of them would fall in love with each other. There is nothing to explain.
Grandpa laughed at that time and said that if it works that time, nothing will happen to you.
Grandma said yin and yang: "Then I still want to thank you?"
Unfortunately, grandpa has passed away many years ago. The third wife is even more lonely.
Do women seem to live longer? You see, my grandmother and third wife are both alive, but my spouse is gone.
Li Xiang was getting his hair cut, feeling secretly in his heart. At this time, the popularity of the live broadcast room was slowly increasing, from a few hundred people at the beginning to two to three thousand people now.
Many fans like and send gifts, increasing the popularity of the live broadcast room.
Some fans were surprised: "If I go, Brother Xiang can also get a haircut?"
"This technique and this posture look pretty good!"
"Is this going to develop into an omnipotent one?"
Li Xiang took the time to take a look at the live broadcast room. Although he stood far away, he could not stand up to his good eyesight, so he replied to the camera and said loudly: "Thank you everyone for your support! Thank you for your support! In fact, this is also the first time for me to give people a haircut. They are all in the village. The Chinese New Year is coming soon and it is inconvenient for our elders to go to the barber shop, so I thought of giving them a free haircut as a benefit.”
"Brother Xiang is awesome."
"Thank you, thank you."
"Thank you all for your popularity votes. Thank you Shu Jin for the love wave gun. Oh, who gave me the fairy stick? Thank you, thank you, but I am not a fairy, I am a man!"
Li Xiang interacted with the fans for a few words, and then continued to concentrate on his thoughts. After all, this is the real business, and hosting a live broadcast is just an add-on.
Because if he is not online for a long time, fans may forget about him, so he needs to come frequently to increase his presence, and various gifts can also be an extra income.
Although he gave free haircuts to the villagers today, the income from the live broadcast is estimated to be tens of thousands, which has long covered the cost.
But no matter what, he did a good deed by giving him a free haircut. The starting point is not to make money.
Once one person is cut, it’s the next one. The next person has already washed his hair and is waiting on the side, working on the assembly line.
Li Xiang's movements were very fast, and as the number of haircuts increased, his skills became more and more skillful.
Some elderly people wash their hair directly by themselves. They feel that they wash their hair well and feel comfortable, and they are not used to being served by others. Some of them were washed at home.
"Xiangyao's craftsmanship is good, and the shampoo I bought is good. It makes my hair so elegant." After an old man finished cutting his hair, he took a hair dryer and blew it in front of the mirror while playing with his hair. He praised it or not. Absolutely.
Someone on the side laughed and scolded: "You are such a shameless old man. You only have a few white hairs left, and they are still elegant!"
"What white hair? This is called a head full of white hair, and I also have a few black hairs in it." The old man shot back unhappily, then glanced at the man and said, "You are the only one who is qualified to say Me? You are still bald. Let Xiangya give you a haircut later. It will be as shiny as a light bulb!"
"Go away, you don't need to tell me! I'm just here to shave my head!" "Let me touch it when the shave is done!"
"Go away, big or small!"
In fact, most of the people in the village are related to each other. In addition to Li Xiang's great-grandfather, there are other families also named Li. After a few generations, they are all one family.
Even the Jiang family is related to the Li family. It seems that there used to be an aunt from the Jiang family who married into the Li family, and then Li Xiang had a cousin who married a nephew of Jiang Jianguo.
Soon, fans discovered that Li Xiang was really good.
The temperament of the villagers who had had their hair cut seemed to have changed.
Before the haircut, they were just slovenly old men, old ladies, and old aunts. However, after using Li Xiang's "skillful hands", they all seemed to be several years younger and became a bit more graceful and luxurious like city dwellers. Many people's clothes are too shabby or old-fashioned. If they change their clothes, they will be suitable for city dwellers.
The villagers also found out, so everyone was very excited. They didn't want to come for a haircut before, but when they saw the situation, I went. The haircut was so good, so I ran over and lined up.
Fans can see from the footage in the live broadcast room that the queue waiting for haircuts is getting longer and longer, and many people come with their children.
There were few children before, but now there are more children, not only little boys, but also girls. Obviously everyone recognized Li Xiang's craftsmanship. Because children, especially girls, love to be beautiful and are more selective.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
A villager asked Li Xiang: "I said before that I would give free haircuts to the elderly, but will the children be charged?"
Li Xiang laughed: "No matter how much you charge, it's all free, it's all free!"
The number of people online in the live broadcast room now exceeds 10,000. Compared with such strong traffic, how much does a haircut cost? When he gives villagers haircuts, he must not charge too much, at most five or ten yuan. It is better not to charge him at all.
Then, more people came. Even Jiang Jianguo, who is in his forties, also came.
Jiang Jianguo smiled and said: "I'm not an old man, so I'm here to join in the fun. Mainly because I'm too lazy to go to town."
Li Xiang said: "I promise to give you a handsome haircut!"
When Li Xiang cuts the little boy's hair, he also designs some shapes, such as "carving" a lightning bolt on the sideburns or a cute cat's paw, which makes the children very excited.
Then when I cut the girls' hair, no matter whether they have long or short hair, they are all trimmed very beautifully, especially the bangs. Different hair styles are designed according to different face shapes. After the girls have cut their hair, they look in the mirror and look extremely beautiful. She looks like a little princess.
The kind that greatly improves the image.
Fans were surprised: "I'll go, Brother Xiang can do it!"
A fan asked in the live broadcast room: "Brother Xiang, how much did you buy those scissors?"
Li Xiang saw it and replied: "Scissors cost more than forty yuan, two pairs!"
Everyone took a deep breath.
"Professional hairdressing scissors are expensive, right? Are they just a few dozen yuan?"
Some fans said: "What's the matter with tens of dollars? Brother Xiang still gets a nice haircut?"
"It can be seen that the level of haircut has little to do with the equipment."
"I went to a barber shop before and spent 588 on my hair. Why do I feel it's not as good as Brother Xiang's free haircut?"
"It is said that some Tony teachers only have professional haircut scissors that cost thousands, or even tens of thousands. The cost of haircuts is also extremely expensive, but the hair they cut is not that good, and the customers want to die."
"Haha, that's called 'poor students have too much stationery'."
"Actually, the stationery for poor students is also applicable to other industries. Of course, 'if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.' Our ancestors pay attention to the golden mean. No matter what happens, there are pros and cons. This is in philosophy It belongs to dialectical thinking.”
Fans talked about it, and then someone couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiang, are you open to the public? If I go to you to cut my hair, how much will you charge?"
When Li Xiang saw it, he replied: "At least take thirty yuan."
"I'll go, price with conscience!"
"I'm really excited, but it's too far. My trip there costs seven to eight hundred."
"If you are close, you can go there, but if you are far apart, forget it."
Some fans are really moved and want to come over.
Luo Feifei came online, and her action was like ten carnivals, once again shocking the audience and shocking everyone. But some old fans are not surprised. This "little aunt" was famously generous to Li Xiang.
Someone joked: "Auntie Bang, do you want to go to Brother Xiang to get your hair done before the Chinese New Year?"
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed, because "doing hair" is a meme, a bad meme.
Auntie Bang was very cold and went offline immediately, ignoring these people.
After a while, He Zhixiang also came, brushed some gifts, and said hello to Li Xiang, and then after a while, Xu Xuan also came, also hurriedly brushed the gifts and left.
Lei Jiaming from Leijiagou applied for a connection, and Li Xiang chatted with him for a few words.
"My sister is coming back the day after tomorrow, come and play at my house!" Lei Jiaming invited her directly in the live broadcast room.
Immediately, the live broadcast room exploded: "What's going on? What's going on? Is this a blind date or something?"
"Brother, you are such a bear, how can your sister be beautiful? Don't use force on our brother Xiang!" Some fans were worried. After all, boys should learn to protect themselves when they go out.
Li Xiang is so handsome, his appearance can crush those top-notch young talents, and he has super physical strength. He has few rivals for his martial arts skills. He is good at various talents and can also cut hair. Some fans even think that Li Xiang will be very good in the future. It's hard to find a wife. What kind of beauty is worthy of this?
Although Li Xiang learned the "dark pearl" method, he only used it when sweeping the mountain because the animals were very alert and could sense the powerful energy and murderous aura in Li Xiang's body, so they would run away far in advance.
Normally, Li Xiang doesn't use that skill. For example, today, he stood under the sun and gave villagers free haircuts. I don't know if it was because of the sunshine or something else, but Li Xiang's whole body felt like it was glowing. His face, hands, They are all white and rosy, crystal clear as jade.
Some people suspect that Li Xiang turned on beautification or used some special effects, but this is not the case. He does not need beautification. The beauty look is too unnatural. He is completely natural.
When Lei Jiaming saw fans saying this, he was very angry and shouted loudly: "My sister is so beautiful, don't talk nonsense!"
As soon as these words came out, many female fans were worried that even the aunt on the list had quietly gone online again.
Thousands of miles away, Luo Feifei stared at the screen of her mobile phone and bit her lower lip gently. Suddenly she felt a little sour and thought to herself: "Is this guy really going on a blind date during the Chinese New Year?"
Some fans shouted: "Your girl is beautiful? Then show her photos and see!"
“You can’t post art photos, you have to post photos of life!”
"Gungungun, I'm too lazy to tell you." Lei Jiaming ignored it, directly greeted Li Xiang, asked him to take some time to play, and then logged off.
After going offline, Lei Jiaming felt a little guilty. The main reason was that after what Li Xiang's fans said, he also felt that his girl was not worthy of Li Xiang.
However, the words have been spoken, and my sister is also looking forward to it, so she can’t give up, right?
"No matter what, we have to let them meet each other. Whether it works or not, that's none of my business. All I can say is creating opportunities. The details will depend on their fate."
