Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 55 Tian Wang
Xu San's shop is much more substantial than when he first came here, but the goods on the shelves are also empty, with few items on display.However, although it is very empty, after adding pens and teddy bears, it also makes his small shop look special.

These days are not the supermarkets of the later generations, and when you see something, you need a staff to bring it to the customer.

"Shopkeeper Xu, your store is very unique." Tian Wang looked at the few products on the shelf, thought about it, and then came up with a flattering word.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Tian, ​​for your compliment. Our store is small, but we do have some good things."

Tian Wang nodded, raised his hand, and pointed to the pen on the shelf: "Please tell shopkeeper Xu to pass that pen to me."

Xu San followed his fingers and handed a big black gold star to Tian Wang.

Tian Wang took the pen, turned it around, and saw a small label on it: three yuan and six cents.

"Clearly mark the price, Boss Xu has a good idea." Tian Wang saw the label and gave a heartfelt approval.

Holding the pen in his hand, he twisted the cap and looked at the nib carefully. It was golden, with a five-pointed star engraved on it, and several foreign characters of JINXING.

"Is this imported?" Xu San nodded, thinking to himself, if you say yes, in a sense, it is also an import, but it spans time, not space.

He is very satisfied with the workmanship. Although he can't understand the material of the pen holder, at least he likes the nib very much.

Unscrewing the waist of the pen, I saw the ink sac, with a look of surprise on my face: "Master Xu, sorry for my poor eyesight, may I ask why this pen is constructed in such a way?"

The technology of fountain pens in this era has basically matured, but the inking technology used is mainly piston type, and Xu San's pen uses siphon type inking (it is the most common pen bag now, and it will be filled with ink after a few squeezes. That kind. The upper end of the early pen bladder was a piece of metal, which was changed to capillary in the early 50s, and even now it has not been improved much.), which belongs to the black technology that is ten years ahead of the contemporary era.

"This is a new technology that can make writing smoother." Xu San said casually. He really didn't know what the pen technology of this era should look like, but so many people are using pens while watching TV and movies, so even if it exceeds Times, it shouldn't have a big impact.

After refilling the pen, Tian Wang said, "Can you try writing with this pen?"

"Sorry, I don't have ink here! If you have ink yourself, feel free to do so." Xu San smiled awkwardly, showing an apologetic expression.

Without ink, Tian Wang couldn't be troubled. The little follower behind him immediately turned around and went back to get a glass ink bottle and a few sheets of vertically-lined paper.

Without ink, Tian Wang directly dipped in the ink and wrote a few words on the vertical lined paper.

I picked up the paper and blew it on it. After the ink dried, I said, "That's right, as Boss Xu said, the writing is smooth."

"And that. Boss Xu, please give me that bear." At this moment, Tian Wang finally set his eyes on the teddy bear.

Oops, here we come!
Xu San felt secretly refreshed. Although this pen is not as expensive as a fountain pen, it is the main thing, and it is a sustainable source of wealth.

He took the little bear, held it in his hand, turned it left and right, and liked it very much. Although he is a middle-aged man, he still has eyesight, knowing that this thing is definitely not normal for a little girl.

And I happen to be two ladies, and I have zero immunity to this kind of thing.

Maybe it's out of love, maybe it's out of flattery, Tian Wang has already moved to buy it back and give it to them at this time.

Holding the bear, Tian Wang said to Xu San, "This is a doll, I've seen it in foreigners' houses before."

"Shopkeeper Tian, ​​you are very knowledgeable. This is a teddy bear, not a doll, but they are all toys for little girls."

After flipping through it, I found the price tag on the bear's ear.

One dollar ninety-nine.

This price is indeed too expensive. Shopkeeper Tian raised his eyebrows. He is considered someone who has seen the market, and he knows the quality of this teddy bear just by touching it.

But for this price, he still felt that it was expensive, so expensive that he had to grit his teeth before he dared to buy it.

"Expensive?" Xu San asked tentatively.

"It's too expensive for me, but for those who love it, it's not expensive at all." Tian Wang didn't hide it, and expressed his feelings.

"What do you mean?"

"Show me the other ones too!"

"Good!" Xu San happily put the other four on the counter.

Ma Cuilan has been watching from the side. Even if she doesn't know how to do business, she can tell that the shopkeeper Tian really wants to buy the two yuan a bear.

It seems that what my brother said is right. Although rich people are picky, they are stupid rich when they encounter something they like.

Not paying attention to Tian Wang anymore, she quietly asked the little girl to go back to the backyard and bring over some prepared skins.

If what Xu San said is correct, Tian Wang should come to buy the skin when he buys the bear.

Tian Wang just glanced at the price tags of the three low-end teddy bears and put them aside.

"Just two!" Tian Wang said, pointing to two high-end teddy bears.

Two teddy bears, one black and one white, the same size.

Although the color is different, but this is finally enough.

Otherwise, if only one is sent back, the two ladies in the family will definitely fight.

Counting the pen, it was seven yuan and fifty-eight cents, and Tian Wang paid directly without counter-offering.

His side was sold out, so Xu San naturally led the traffic to the next door: "The tailor shop next door also has clothes specially made for teddy bears. If you are interested, shopkeeper Tian can go and have a look."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Tian Wang was really shocked this time, he didn't expect Xu San to have such a showy operation.

This sales is done one after another, and firmly grasped the hearts of customers.

Unexpectedly, there is such a character in this small safe city.

With a curious heart, Tian Wang came to Ma Cuilan's tailor shop again.

Sure enough, three small clothes were already hanging in eye-catching positions.

Two small jackets, one [-] cents; blue floral dress, one [-] cents.

This price was secretly told by Xu San to Ma Cuilan, that the clothes like the gown are everywhere in the street, so the price is low; while the dress is a rare item of foreign clothes, so the price is high.

Just a simple try, Tian Wang was very satisfied.

And now he can think of the two ladies at home happily changing the bear's clothes together.

Without counter-offering, Tian Wang wrapped up all the skin, and he also ordered a floral dress of the same style.

Hey, there is no way, the lady has two, if you don’t buy the same, they will really fight.

But Xu San gave him a suggestion, changing the color of the dress.

Tian Wang thought it was the same, wouldn't the shirt be the same if the two pieces were the same?
One piece four!

This is real income!

It is equivalent to one month's income of a tailor shop when business is good.

Of course, Ma Cuilan did not take her own labor costs into account, which is also a kind of sadness for small craftsmen.

This is true even for future generations!

After seeing off Tian Wang, Ma Cuilan clutched the money, feeling that the things in front of her were still so unreal.

Not long after, Tian Wang's little follower ran up to Xu San, "Master Xu, my shopkeeper asked you, what is the word for Teddy for a teddy bear?"

"Tai from Tarzan, Di from Fuqiu Fudi."
