Chapter 12 Day 4
On the second day of the trip, the destination is the local characteristic scenic spot in the town, the traditional handmade leather shoe factory.
Liang Xiu woke up early in the morning. Fortunately, Liang Xiu didn't need to bark one by one today. The sound insulation effect of the homestay is not very good. At dawn, the dog downstairs started barking, and everyone woke up after a while.
After a simple breakfast, the group headed towards their destination in a lively manner. Everyone chatted on the bus. Zhan Chong sat in the last row and dozed off alone. He didn't seem to have a good rest last night, and his eyes were full of tired blue eyes. black.
What was he thinking so much that he couldn't sleep?
Liang Xiu couldn't help but look at him secretly, guessing his thoughts, and when he was about to open his eyes before he woke up, he quickly looked away.
Arriving at the destination soon, I got off the bus and visited the museum first. The museum's information is not limited to the history of the development of handmade leather shoes, but also the past of the town's destruction and reconstruction during the turbulent war years.Shocked by the heavy sense of history, everyone was silent and watched quietly.
After coming out of the museum, I entered the handmade leather shoe factory.The person in charge of the factory came out to greet the program group, warmly entertained them with local specialties, and then invited Mr. Timothy, the top craftsman in the factory, to show everyone the production process of leather shoes and belts.
They have never seen these exquisite handicrafts before, and they are all very excited. They are very novel. Everyone bought some souvenirs and prepared to take them back. It is much simpler to make your own belt than leather shoes.
Liang Xiu liked to make handicrafts very much, so he was very serious when he listened to Timothy's talk. Afterwards, he did a very good job in the production process, from drawing design drawings to selecting and cutting leather samples, which aroused everyone's envy. After more than an hour, Liang Xiu made two handmade belts that looked very good. Su An and Zhou Yilin also barely finished, but the degree of refinement was much worse.
Chen Zijing and Zhan Chong had two disabled hands, and there was a lot of scrapped leather in front of them.
Timothy commented on everyone's works in the local language, and the translator told everyone what he meant.
Timothy said that Su An and Zhou Yilin were very hardworking. They did not look good but were barely qualified and practical.With such good-looking faces, Chen Zijing and Zhan Chong didn't need to do anything anymore, just standing here was enough to make the girls scream.
Zhan Chong is very upset about Timothy's evaluation, he doesn't like people's evaluation of his appearance, good skin is nothing for him to be proud of.
Seeing that Zhan Chong's expression was not good, the photographer quickly moved the camera away and did not continue to shoot him.
Timothy praised Liang Xiu again, saying that he was very skilled in handwork, and asked him if he had learned and had experience in this field.
Liang Xiu replied modestly: "My mother used to be a tailor, and I learned a little bit from her. The making of leather goods is more difficult, and I only learned a little bit."
Timothy praised again: "You are too humble, you have done a great job, and you are very talented and hardworking. If you are willing to stay and study, I will teach you how to make handmade leather shoes. I believe that within a few years, you will be Will be a great craftsman."
Liang Xiu still wanted to continue to be modest, so the director team reminded him, said a few words, asked a staff member to hand over Liang Xiu's wallet, and told Liang Xiu to show it to everyone.
Liang Xiu suddenly looked flustered and wanted to shirk, but it was too late, the wallet had already been handed over to Chen Zijing, and he faced the camera, holding the wallet, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it must be the same! Did Brother Xiu do it himself? This is too amazing!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Chen Zijing's voice, and Liang Xiu subconsciously looked at Zhan Chong's expression.
Zhan Chong also saw the wallet, his eyes lit up for a moment, and then quickly dimmed.His expression changed rapidly, and a lot of messy emotions flashed in his mind, but he quickly suppressed it, and retreated to hide behind the crowd, preventing Liang Xiu from seeing his expression.
Liang Xiu panicked for a while, seeing that Zhan Chong didn't respond, he put his heart back into his stomach.
But it is false to say that he is not lost, Zhan Chong...has he already forgotten this thing?
"Did Brother Xiu do it himself?" Chen Zijing said in surprise while holding the wallet, "There are still engravings here, LX...it's Brother Xiu's name."
Liang Xiu glanced at the director and understood what he was thinking.The director was also kind and wanted Liang Xiu to show more in front of the camera.Having reached this point, Liang Xiu couldn't refuse, so he nodded, took the wallet over, showed it to the camera, and said, "I made it myself, because I also like to make small things with my hands. Look at my micro Bo should also know that most of the decorations at home are DIY by myself, but the craftsmanship is not good, which makes everyone laugh. This... is a simple men's bi-fold wallet, which was made a long time ago. There is a card slot in it , the photo position, the photo is a family portrait. Well, this is where the money is put, ah, I can’t let everyone see how much money I have.”
Liang Xiu reluctantly made a joke, and then took the wallet back.
Timothy also took Liang Xiu's wallet and looked at it for a while, telling him that it was well made, the leather material was very high-grade, and the workmanship was also perfect. If it was a new product, it could sell for more than [-] euros, but it was a pity that it had been depreciated after being used for too long. It is of little value.But seeing how well he cared for it, it must be of great significance, so I gave him a bottle of special leather care solution.
Everyone boasted again, especially Chen Zijing, who couldn't hide the admiration on his face. He took Liang Xiu's arm and kept boasting that Liang Xiu had done a good job. Then he tentatively asked Liang Xiu if he could put Give him the extra belt I made today.
Before Liang Xiu opened his mouth, Zhan Chong, who was hiding behind the crowd, turned green. He stared at the back of Chen Zijing's head firmly behind him. Stopped blurting out.
Then Zhou Yilin refused, stepped forward and took Liang Xiu's other arm, and said, "How can I give this to you? You two men, don't use the couple's money, if it is, you should give it to me!"
The two started arguing with each other, it was a little funny, they kept scrambling to call "Brother Xiu" for that belt, everyone's attention was on the three of them, no one noticed that Zhan Chong, who was standing at the back of the crowd, had a serious expression on his face Ugly, his eyes were very fierce, as if he wanted to stare at two holes in Chen Zijing and Zhou Yilin.
As Liang Xiu, who has always been known for his high emotional intelligence, neither of these two people will offend, so he said: "Don't argue, since Mr. Timothy said that what I do is valuable, of course I can't give it away for nothing. I want to ask Mr. Timothy to help me estimate For a price, sell this belt, and the money we get will go to our public funds for this trip, and everyone will have benefits, so there is no need to fight."
Su An stepped forward, pulled Zhou Yilin's hand, and said, "Hey, don't make a fuss, it's a good arrangement, and I agree, the money from the sale can be used for extra meals at night, and let Axiu cook more for us." food."
Chen Zijing still wanted to say something, but Su An raised his hand to stop him, and turned to ask Zhan Chong's opinion. Zhan Chong's gaze quickly passed over several people, and then nodded silently.
In the end, it was decided like this. Zhou Yilin and Chen Zijing were a little disappointed, but they didn't say anything more. In the end, Timothy deducted the material fee and charged 420 euros for Liang Xiu's belt, which added a sum to their travel expenses.
In the evening, relying on this income, I ate a pretty good dinner. Everyone was very happy. After drinking some wine, I went back to the hotel to rest. I will take the bus to the next destination tomorrow and need enough sleep.
But Zhan Chong couldn't fall asleep anyway, he locked the door and sat on the bed, hesitated for a long time, took his piano case, took out the guitar, and then took out something from the interlayer at the bottom of the piano case.
Zhan Chong leaned against the head of the bed, carefully studying this thing under the warm-toned desk lamp.
A black wallet, which looks a little worn out, has been around for a long time, but it can be seen that it has been well cared for, and the leather is still full of luster.The wallet is very delicate, like a famous brand, the material is very high-grade, but there is no label or logo, and traces of hand-stitching can be seen in some places.
The wallet is almost exactly the same as the one Liang Xiu took out today, except that "ZC" is engraved in the place where the words are engraved.
Zhan Chong frowned tightly, slowly stroked the wallet with his hands, watched quietly, lost in thought.
Soft black calfskin with elasticity and fine luster.
----------------
Soft black calfskin with elasticity and fine luster.
This is a men's biker leather jacket that's edgy in style but high in quality.
It has been raining continuously for the past few days, and when the summer is about to come, the temperature suddenly drops. I don’t feel it at home, but when I go out, I get goose bumps. Zhan Chong is glad that he brought such a leather jacket, otherwise it would be really cold at this time died.
After Zhan Chong put on the leather jacket, Yang Zhengxuan's eyes immediately glowed.
"Hey, these clothes are pretty good. You can sell them for some money." Yang Zhengxuan pinched the hem of his clothes and said.
"Fuck you, this is an ordinary old leather jacket that can't be sold for a price. Besides, I only have this one that can keep out the wind a little bit, and I plan to wear it until autumn, otherwise you want to freeze me to death, you have no conscience." Zhan Chong said Yang Zhengxuan pushed it away, then took the guitar, and continued, "Let's go and meet our new teammates."
Yang Zhengxuan rubbed his chin, obviously still thinking about this leather jacket.But Zhan Chong didn't want to talk to him, because he was full of joy at this time, and they finally found a good bassist after searching for a long time.This buddy is called Tong Yu, he is a university student, a top student in the law department, and he likes music.Two days before Zhan Chong went to squat at the entrance of the bar again. It happened that such a person was also squatting. The two chatted and hit it off immediately. The tacit understanding was good after trying it out yesterday. After being out for a month, this band can be regarded as formed.
Today, they are preparing to practice the new song they just wrote in the abandoned factory near the rented house, and then use this song to go to the bar to apply for a job.A three-person band looks more formal and has a higher chance of success.
Tong Yu was already waiting for them at the destination, and the three of them practiced together a few times, and they were ready to go home after seeing that they were almost done.
This was really the happiest day of the month since Zhan Chong came out. After returning home and seeing Liang Xiu cooking in an apron, he immediately felt even happier.
