Chapter 14 Flower Work
Early the next morning.
In the sky that turned from pitch black to deep blue, when the stars were still blinking.
Ning Weimin had already carried his big bag, got on the bus, and headed straight to the garbage dump in the eastern suburbs.
But it’s different from every day in the past.
That day, when he smelled the stinky smell again and handed the watch to the "general" in public, it aroused unprecedented enthusiasm among the blind people.
Not for anything else, but mainly because no one expected that he could actually buy the watch.
To be honest, "General" didn't sleep well at all last night.
Despite the generous words he said, he was still very excited in his heart.
Ever since Ning Weimin left with Copper yesterday, he began to regret and worry.
It wasn't until I saw Ning Weimin again this morning that my heart felt at ease.
Of course, the scene that surprised him the most.
It must have been a dream come true, seeing with my own eyes the moment Ning Weimin took out his watch from his pocket.
Under the sunlight, the "Peacock" brand watch shone brightly, which almost made him faint.
He couldn't wait to take it in his hand, and then looked at it over and over.
That's exciting.
Rubbing and listening to the sound, I was so happy that I was speechless.
It’s really more beautiful than if someone got a gold Rolex watch forty years later.
Later, with Ning Weimin’s reminder, he came to his senses and put the watch on his wrist solemnly.
It is conceivable that even he is like this, how greedy are other blind people?
Many "heroes" witnessed this swagger, and no one had the heart to work.
So all at once, Wuyang poured down from all the "hilltops".
They either surrounded the "general" enviously, asked what brand the watch was, and praised it endlessly.
Or he was pestering Ning Weimin to ask how much the watch cost and how he bought it.
Even the two blind men who asked him to bring daily necessities yesterday did not bother to check the quality of their goods.
He kept pulling Ning Weimin and strongly demanded to buy them both a watch.
As a result, as soon as they started this, there was a response.
Almost all the blind people are excited, making noises, and insisting on turning watch buying into a group participation activity.
There is no doubt that this is a great thing Ning Weimin wants!
He said in his heart, what Old Man Kang expected was really accurate.
This first business really had a demonstration effect and brought him new business.
But then again, it was great, but he really couldn't agree to it right away.
Because he knows very well that the harder something is to get, the more people want it.
If he wants to get more benefits from it, he must first whet the appetite of these bastards.
In addition, he also knew very well that the "general" might not be happy with this.
Because these days, people buy watches not just to tell the time, but also to satisfy their personal vanity.
"General", as the leader of the blind people, was the first person to buy a watch.
Of course you don’t want others to buy after you.
Then how can he show that he is different?
So if you want to do this business, you must first stretch yourself a little, and you can't offend the "general" because of it.
So... what should we do?
Hey, didn’t Old Man Kang teach him yesterday that he must be seen as reliable?
His own understanding is that what the old man said about "something like that" is actually "pretending".
That is to say, "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills."
Who is he?
That's someone who has watched Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy".
Of course an actor has the basic qualities.
So I got into the performance state smoothly.
He deliberately pretended that he couldn't stand the blind liuzi's pestering, and with a bitter look on his face, he felt wronged on the way to the "general".
Probably it means that the watch he bought for "General" actually cost ten yuan more than the official price in the store just because he didn't have industrial coupons.
Moreover, the amount of copper he took away yesterday was not that substantial, and the money given to him was less than expected.
Inside and out, in order to buy this watch, he spent almost fifteen yuan on it.
Although he was buying things for the "general", he was willing to do so without any hesitation.
Why should others want him to suffer such a big loss?
Besides, if everyone wants him to buy a watch, he can’t afford the loss.
So he begged the "general" to "justice" for him.
Hey, the "general" was absolutely benefited from these words.
He was so happy that he mistakenly thought that he had taken advantage of it. So he kept patting Ning Weimin on the shoulder and told him not to worry.
But the blind people are afraid that the "general" will interfere, and they are a little impatient.
Especially the two people who were the first to propose buying a watch just now couldn't wait to scream.
One took the initiative to offer conditions to Ning Weimin.
"Can't we give you more copper? Give you five more catties, no, six more catties..."
The other begged "General".
"Brother, how can we compete with you? You didn't even say you wanted to take advantage of this kid. Don't listen to his nonsense..."
With that said, he opened the "Beihai" brand cigarettes that Ning Weimin had just bought and gave a full box to "General".
Just like that, Ning Weimin did a little trick and made everyone spin around.
Instead of stopping the matter, the "general" took the initiative to mediate between the two parties.
The price of the watch has gone up because of the impatience of the blind people.
So Ning Weimin got what he wanted.
When he went back that day, not counting his own output, he took away a full fifty kilograms of picked copper.
You don’t need to calculate carefully, but you also know that you will definitely earn more from this business today than you did yesterday.
And this is just a watch.
There were more than a dozen people waiting in line at the back.
So even if he had to face the blank stares of the conductor and passengers again, Ning Weimin didn't care at all.
Even on the bus, I thought about earning a hundred yuan a day for a long time in the future.
And this one hundred yuan a day can be converted into a full page of monkey tickets.
He felt as happy as if he had drunk alcohol.
What happened to the rag pickers?
Thousands of rivers return to the sea, as long as you can make money.
The form of labor is useless, the key lies in the value of labor!
Hey, just by me, with little effort and some scrap metal, we can earn several months' wages of ordinary people in one day.
Who looks down on whom?
If the monkey tickets I bought were included, I would have earned the equivalent of the next 20 million in one day!
Hey, it’s like a legend to say the least. Even I admire myself!
The proud Ning Weimin returned home humming a tune happily.
When I got off the bus, I was impatient to go home and wanted to tell Master about my success again today.
I don’t know where he got the strength from, but he didn’t even take a break and just put the copper back into the scrapyard.
After selling out the copper, he turned around and ran to the trust store.
This time I spent 70 yuan to buy an old Pearl brand watch.
Then he took the medicine according to the prescription and sent it to the "morning clock" to have the watchmaker help refurbish it.
The next step is to go to the post office to buy stamps.
But so far, it’s a little different from yesterday.
Because Ning Weimin didn't buy anything else to eat or drink. Instead, he took advantage of the time when his watch was being refurbished and went home directly.
Not for anything else, just because I sold twenty more yuan today, and my consumption method can be upgraded.
He wanted to invite Kang Shude to go to a restaurant with him to celebrate.
Needless to say, when Ning Weimin saw Kang Shude, he started to talk about everything that happened that day.
While he was placing the stamps he bought in the small box made of camphor wood, he said with a smile that he would not eat at home that night and would eat outside.
Unexpectedly, it was a good thing, but Kang Shude shook his head and said that he was burning buns, and taught him that a good life cannot be passed away in just one meal.
I’m quite worried that he won’t be able to stop spending money lavishly.
I'm afraid that in addition to buying monkey tickets, he will also have the problem of being drunk today.
Fortunately, Ning Weimin was good at coaxing people and issued a statement quickly, so that this matter did not really ruin the fun.
"Master, why don't you just do it as a routine? This is my intention, just to make up for a more formal apprenticeship banquet."
"The meal yesterday was really a bit miserable. If I use Pig Head Rou and Lao Baigan sent you away, and I will be so embarrassed when I think about it. At the very least, I have to treat you to a roast duck."
"Hey, I've thought about it. Don’t be in a hurry to come back when you’re full and drunk. I’ll take you to take a bath. When you feel better, we’ll make a pot of tea and talk about the past together.”
"As for tomorrow, let's live the same life as before, okay? Don't worry, it's just a meal, I won't become a dandy..."
In this way, Kang Shude thought about it, the craftsmanship of the famous store is really greedy, I really want to take a shower myself.
I no longer persist.
"Forget it, it's rare for you to have such a heart, so I'll give you some face today. It's for good luck, 'Ju De Quan'. It's fate that we, father and son, are together."< br>
Ning Wei was happy.
"Yes, Master, let me lead the way and let's walk."
This is called roast duck, I have been thinking about you day and night, and today my wish came true.
