After hesitating for a long time, the little boy walked up to Shen Xing and said, "Uncle, how much does your set of animation wood carvings cost?"
His good friend, Fatty, bought a Marvel set for nearly 5,000 yuan, and Fatty bought it with New Year's money. This guy saves a lot of New Year's money every year, so he can still afford it.
But I was different. Although I also had New Year's money, my mother forced me to save it. I did have some pocket money on hand, but it was far from enough.
You can actually buy this set of coveted anime wood carvings, you just need to go back and ask your mother.
Today is the weekend, and the parents of these two children have opened stores. The little fat man's family has opened a high-end clothing chain store, and the little boy's family has opened a children's clothing store. Of course, in terms of financial resources, they are far inferior to the little fat man.
Both stores are in the shopping mall opposite.
"This set costs 4,200 yuan." Shen Xing said with a smile: "You can also buy a few first, and you don't have to pack them all before selling them."
"Uncle, does the fork in this Neptune's hand move?" The little fat man took the opportunity to ask.
Shen Xing nodded, "It's movable and can be removed."
"Then can he beat the Hulk with this weapon?" The little fat man continued to ask.
Shen Xing shrugged and said with a smile: "They are from two factions. I really don't know that. But each of them has a skill card. They can release their own skills in battle. You can go back and study them carefully!"
"He can definitely beat the Hulk, he has a fork!" said the little boy.
Little Fatty immediately shook his head, "The Hulk's muscles are so big that even a fork can't penetrate them. Neptune will definitely not be able to defeat him."
The two began to argue quietly.
At this moment, a familiar female voice sounded at the door of the store, "Wow, Brother Shen, I finally found you! Give me a good search!"
Hearing the woman's voice, Feifei, who had been sitting silently in the back of the store, looked away from the extracurricular reading material in her hand and looked over.
After seeing this young, beautiful and lively woman, Feifei stared at her intently and closed the book in her hand.
"Su Tong?" Shen Xing was stunned. He was originally sitting, but now he stood up.
Su Tong has not been seen since the last time he came out of Yungu Vocational College. It has been almost more than a month.
The boy next to the girl, Chen Meng, was later confirmed to be the murderer of classmate Liang Haizhong and had been arrested.
This incident should have had a big impact on Su Tong, the invisible rich second generation, but after more than a month, it seems that she has recovered as before.
After Shen Xing moved his store, he posted a notice in front of the original store explaining the location of the new store.
Obviously, Su Tong found the new store based on his notice after finding it there.
"Brother Shen, the environment here is good!" Su Tong walked into the store and looked around with great interest. "This location is better than the environment in the old city. The business must be good."
Shen Xing smiled and nodded: "Not bad, the passenger flow here is much larger. What do you want to drink, tea or boiled water?"
"Just boiled water will do." Su Tong replied while admiring the wood carvings in the store.
Her hair was tied into a recently popular bun, a sky blue close-fitting T-shirt, a white waistcoat over it, black tight jeans on her legs, and a pair of black leather boots with mid-length holes.
She looks youthful, perfectly sets off Su Tong's figure, and has very good proportions.
This was one of the reasons why Feifei kept staring at her.
Shen Xing poured a glass of water for Su Tong, and Su Tong took it, then pointed behind the two little boys standing and said with some surprise: "Why do these small wooden sculptures look like figures? They are so exquisite! And they are all Colorful!"
The two children did not get out of the way. Instead, they took a few steps closer to the DC series wood carvings to isolate Su Tong from these wood carvings.
Su Tong didn't pay attention. With her height, these two naughty children couldn't block her sight. She just stared at the series of wood carvings in front of her with a very surprised and curious look.
After a moment, she pointed at these wood carvings and said with a smile on her face: "How much does this and this cost? I want them all. They are such beautiful wood carvings, worth collecting!"
Before Shen Xing could say anything, the little fat man shouted: "No, this is ours!"
The little boy bit his lower lip and said nothing.
Su Tong was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Shen Xing.
Shen Xing shrugged: "Sorry, they made a reservation first. I'll make a new set for you. This set is reserved for these two little guys!"
When the two children heard this, they suddenly became excited.
"We'll go back and get the money right away. We'll be here soon. Thank you, uncle!" the little boy said immediately.
After saying that, the two of them left the store, crossed the road, and ran into the shopping mall opposite.
Shen Xing said to Su Tong: "Sit down and leave after dinner."
"That's not necessary." Su Tong shook his head, took a sip of water, and looked at all the wood carvings in the shop carefully before sitting down.
After a moment, she said: "I heard Sheriff Zhao tell me what happened last time. Thanks to you for noticing, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered that there was a demon hiding around me!"
Shen Xing said: "Chen Meng's criminal behavior should be a temporary act. He broke open the fingers of Liang Haizhong who was crawling outside at that time. He had indeed evil intentions. Because Liang Haizhong's limbs were basically broken."
"But he was very gentle when he was with me. I couldn't tell that his thoughts would be like this." Su Tong's eyes were a little vacant, staring at something blankly.
Shen Xing changed the subject and said, "Then are you still planning to continue studying for the past few years at the vocational college that your grandfather once attended?"
Su Tong shook his head: "If this happens, I may not finish my studies now. After one year of study, I may go to Heshan University, which is closer to home."
For a wealthy lady of her status, Shen Xing had no doubt that she could transfer to any other local university during her sophomore or junior year.
After all, her grandfather was a man with the ability to kill DC heroes in a row on the display cabinet.
At this time, Su Tong said with some curiosity: "I just looked at your wood carvings, and I feel that your skills have changed a lot between before and after. Nearly half of the wood carvings, I observed, uh, their skills can be considered mediocre. Okay. With all due respect! But these wood carvings here, including those DCs you mentioned, seem to be different people, and the works look very charming."
Shen Xing said: "I have been studying this industry for so many years, will I finally get the idea one day? Is it possible that I have been standing still?"
Su Tong smiled sheepishly and nodded quickly, "That's right. The subsequent works are very good and have great collection value."
She has always been fond of antiques and vintage items, including taking photos and writing travel notes at some scenic spots or places with special significance all year round.
There are also some things collected at home, including the wood carving works from Ye Ting, so Su Tong's understanding of wood carving is much deeper than ordinary people.
Although her opinion may not be professional, it does not affect Su Tong's value judgment.
Of course, she had no idea that almost all of Shen Xing's wood carvings today contained more or less spiritual essence. The charm of the wood carvings was the basis, and of course the realistic appearance was a bonus for the entire work.
This time when Su Tong came to Shen Xing's shop, he wanted to buy some wood carvings.
After taking a look just now, she had probably decided which items she wanted to buy. She pointed at the wardrobe and staircase wood carvings, "I want these two wood carvings. Please wrap them up for me."
"Don't you ask about the price?" Shen Xing reminded.
Su Tong shook his head, "I believe you won't ask for excessive prices."
Shen Xing laughed and pointed at the staircase wood carving, "This wood carving is more expensive."
After saying this, he poured some water into the small pool under the stairs. After a while, wisps of white air were visible to the naked eye, and there were only a few clouds and smoke, which looked quite artistic.
However, it is only a few wisps of smoke and will not achieve a hallucinogenic effect. After all, this is just a replica of the original.
Seeing this scene, Su Tong was stunned. It took him a long time to get over and look around the wood carvings on the stairs, especially checking whether the power supply was connected under the wood carvings, but found nothing.
"what 's wrong?"
Shen Xing joked casually: "It is made of special wood and mixed with some of my exclusive secret recipes, so after pouring a little water, it can produce this effect. Well, this is the reason why it is more expensive."
"Wrap it up!" Su Tong said excitedly immediately.
"Still not asking about the price?!" Shen Xing secretly cursed.
"Where's this mask? It looks mysterious." Su Tong pointed to the wooden sculpture of a mask placed alone in a long glass cabinet in the center of the store.
Shen Xing cleared his throat and said: "This mask is currently the most expensive here, almost the most expensive in the store..."
"wrap up."
"Can you let me finish?"
"Okay." Su Tong leaned over and looked at the wooden mask carving carefully.
"If you meet someone who is destined to be with you and observe the mask carefully, you may be able to see the person you want to see..."
This time Shen Xing still couldn't finish her words, and saw Su Tong stomping her feet excitedly, "Wrap it up, wrap it up!"
"Have you seen any changes in this mask after you saw it?" Shen Xing wondered.
"No." Su Tong shook his head, "But that doesn't affect me from buying it!"
"That makes sense!" Shen Xing smiled helplessly.
But to be honest, Su Tong is really a good and average girl.
"These eyes actually look pretty good." Su Tong pointed to the blood-pupil wooden sculpture, "But after looking at it for a long time, it seems a bit scary, so let's forget it."
It must be said that her vision is very vicious, and she almost always looks at wood carvings that contain spiritual essence, just like Zhou Dao last time.
When Zhou Dao left that day, he forgot to take away the wooden staircase he was interested in. Shen Xing later mailed it to him.
"Don't forget, I'll also order a set of the DC series of wood carvings over there." Su Tong reminded.
"Actually, I also have a Marvel series that is similar to that one. Do you want it?" Shen Xing also simply promoted it.
"Wrap it up, wrap it up..."
Su Tong took out her mobile phone and took photos of the wood carvings she wanted to buy, saying that she wanted to make a column on Weibo.
"If you produce more new works as soon as possible, I will promote them in the big city of Heshan. Moreover, my grandfather knows many collectors and asks them to comment on you and increase the value of your works. Then you will not have to worry about not being famous." Su Tong Said seriously.
The most fearful thing about wood carving is not being famous, but once you become famous, your income will snowball and it will be unstoppable.
It can be said that you have gained both fame and fortune!
"Then I have to work harder!" Shen Xing deliberately rolled up his sleeves and smiled.
"But this is no excuse for you to stay up late at night!" Feifei reminded in a low voice.
Su Tong was startled and asked Shen Xing with his eyes.
Shen Xing said: "This is Feifei, currently living with me."
Su Tong blinked and nodded thoughtfully, but because the relationship between the two parties was not deep, it was not easy for her to directly ask people about their privacy.
After sitting in the store for a while, Su Tong asked her classmates to go out for dinner and left quickly. Shen Xing put all the wood sculptures she bought into cardboard boxes and wrapped them, stuffed foam inside, and covered them with three layers of transparent tape. The outer three layers are tightly wrapped.
According to the address given by Su Tong, mail it directly to her home in Heshan City.
Not only that, Su Tong also paid for the entire set of the DC series he had booked, instead of just paying the deposit.
This is probably what makes her so approachable.
…
In one of the children's clothing stores on the third floor of Guangyuan Shopping Mall across the road from Tingwu Wood Carving Shop.
The little chubby boy huddled behind the chair next to the entrance of the store, staring wide-eyed at what the other little boy and his mother were talking about.
However, things didn't seem to be going smoothly. Looking at the little boy's mother's expression, Xiao Pang Dun had a hunch that maybe the DC series wouldn't be available for purchase this time.
Originally, he had a small plan. After this friend bought the entire DC set, he would exchange some of his favorite characters from DC with characters he didn't like from Marvel.
Who knows that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.
After a while, the little boy reached behind his back and waved his hand gently. This was their secret signal, which meant that he couldn't buy it.
Little Fatty immediately stood up and ran to his store.
The little boy's mother withdrew her gaze from Fatty, who was running away, and said, "Xiao Jiacheng, your grandpa is sick, and the business has been sluggish recently, so a set of puppets costs more than four thousand?! The family's money can't be like this Indiscriminate spending.”
"It's not a puppet, it's a wood carving." The little boy lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
His mother didn't hear it at all and said again: "Don't play with that fat guy Zhou Hong now. He has a lot of thoughts every day and often lies to you. Also, how can our Wu family compare with their Zhou family? Their family is very wealthy. We have opened several branches. I can barely hold on to this one store now!"
"Mom, stop talking, I won't buy it." Xiao Jiacheng raised his head, tears already welling up in his eyes and about to fall at any time.
His mother felt a little soft-hearted and hugged him in her arms. "Little Jiacheng, be obedient. When grandpa is cured of his illness, mother will buy it for you."
Xiao Jiacheng raised his head and looked at his mother: "Mom, what disease does grandpa have? I think he is quite normal. He has been reading newspapers at home all day."
His mother sighed, "Your grandpa has been very confused recently. He has started talking nonsense and doing dangerous things. By the way, these days, if you are awakened by the sound in the living room after falling asleep, don't get up and go out. , don’t make a sound and continue to sleep.”
Xiao Jiacheng nodded, "That day I found that there was nothing in the newspaper that my grandfather was reading. It was all blank. What was he reading all day?"
"I don't know." Mother shook her head. "That day, your father also followed your grandfather's example and stared at the blank newspapers for a long time. He didn't even hear me call him."
"Weird!" Xiao Jiacheng scratched his head, "I'll go back and have a look later."
