Chapter 6 Kellogg's Weekly Doll

Shi Jiale had many ideals since childhood, one of which was to open a gift shop. Unexpectedly, the new middle-aged will realize this not-so-magnificent dream. The shop is not located in a prosperous area of ​​the city, but the surrounding environment is very good, away from the noise, it is the kind of street where you can walk slowly. A week after opening, no one patronizes.The first client was a middle-aged couple, dressed neatly and elegantly, and their conversation was gentle. Shi Jiale was happy to entertain such guests. When the couple walked in, they were surprised. There was no dazzling array of crystal ornaments and music boxes in the store. It doesn't look like a gift shop, but it looks like the living room of a friend's house.

But the boss had a friendly smile and a good posture, he didn't look like a philistine businessman, moreover, the tea he brewed was unusually fragrant, and the music sounded from somewhere, the sound was beautiful and moving, it was actually a joke from Liang Zhuli. They were both confused.Looking at each other, maybe they can find what they want in such a store. "Who do you two want to give a gift to?" The man hesitated for a moment: "Give it to our son." "Hey, how old is your son?" The man thought for a while, his eyes were a little sad: "Sixteen years old."

"Heh, that's an important day, what kind of feelings do you two plan to express?" Both of them were stunned. Do gift shop owners always receive customers like this? The shop owner smiled, "It's like this. I run this shop to help the gift-giver express what he wants to say as much as possible, and the recipient of the gift can most clearly understand your feelings for him." Affection, so, for every gift in this store, we hope that it will not just cost money without thought.” Shi Jiale took down a volume from the bookshelf, and opened it for the two of them to read.Bright navy blue cover, "In this volume, it is a gift reference for 12-16-year-old boys, and the pink volume that is put together is a gift for 15-year-old girls."

The middle-aged woman spoke, this is the first time she spoke, her voice was a little hoarse, and it could be heard that her voice was much rounder: "Why is it not like a boy, it is a gift book for girls aged 12~16?" Woolen cloth?" "Ah, of course it's because girls' minds are fickle, far more than stupid boys in this period." "So, we want a gift for our son, and all we have to say is, we love him so much." This time it was Shi Jiale's turn to be dazed, it was rare for a middle-aged man to say such nasty words.But she was very happy, the first gift was given to a lovely child by loving parents, it couldn't be better.

"Sit down, both of you, I want to ask you some questions about the recipient." It took an hour for Shi Jiale to get to know the sixteen-year-old boy whom he had never met. He was so cute when he was a child. He was never born until he was six years old. Every day he could provide different stories for his parents to laugh at. .There is no need for family members to worry about studying. Although it is unavoidable to be a little naughty, the parents always say that the sentence sounds like criticism, but the smile is obviously appreciative. All the way to the best middle school, the college entrance examination is due next year, and I often discuss with my family what to do if I can't get into the school I want.His parents are willing to send him to study, but he is already sensible, and he is not willing to use up half of his parents' savings. He hopes that the family of three can go to the south for vacation every winter, or buy a precious jewelry for his still charming mother. She paid more for this family.So he is obviously a lively child, but he also studies hard.

Lazy like ordinary boys, unable to get out of bed in the morning, insisting on asking three times and reminding me four times, thin-skinned, embarrassed to be late, so I often skip breakfast.Often it was mother who chased him out of the yard to give him milk.I like sports, but I also like cartoon dolls, but I am too embarrassed to ask for them. I often stand in front of the toy cabinet and refuse to leave, without saying what to buy.Most of the pocket money given to him was exchanged for various smiling dolls.My favorite is a set of McDonald's dog dolls, which are solemnly hidden in the cabinet and no one is allowed to touch them.Sometimes his parents joked with him, wondering if they wanted to use this set of dolls as a betrothal gift for his sweetheart.

The two customers refused to stop talking, Shi Jiale was also happy to hear it, and the corners of his mouth were always curved upwards.Yo, such a lovely child is really a treasure in the family. "Well, I recommend a gift for the two of you. I think he will like it very much. We have a set of week dolls." This weekly doll is the young Shi Jiale, who dotes on someone very much, but cannot stay together forever.I just want to pinch a porcelain doll in his image, sew a pair of clothes, trousers, and small leather shoes that he wears every day, so cute to wear. On Monday, put him in a suit and hide a SNOOPY tie inside. I wonder if his colleagues will find out.

On Tuesday, the same suit, remember to change the shirt and socks. On Wednesday, the weather seems to be getting colder. Give him an extra coat and turn up the collar. On Thursday, his face was bitter, complaining that yesterday's coat didn't look good, and he changed it On Friday, dress him in a gray sweater, no tie, and small leather shoes without laces. On Saturday, he was only given a cotton robe, asked him to wear slippers, and put a small mop in his hand to do housework. On Sunday, I was covered with a quilt.The baby's eyes are closed, little lazy pig, let him rest for a day.

Oh, it's a pity it's just fantasy, haven't you heard that famous song?Seven lonely days spelled out into one lonely week.Woo~~ Lover, I cry for you. Sorry, I am off topic again here (Hey, why did I use this word?) The couple seemed to like the idea very much, and immediately asked to order a set.And promised to provide the child's photo as a reference as soon as possible, because to make a doll according to his appearance, and to find someone to sew clothes according to the clothes he wears every day. That afternoon, the man drove a book of photos of the child. Sure enough, he was the airy boy in his imagination, with a hearty smile, white teeth, big eyes, and a little bit of a smile, but he was even more innocent.The fabrics of the clothes are not bad, and the styles are very regular, especially simple sweatshirts.Mainly blue, and occasionally beige.They are not tall, and some babies have not lost their fat, and their cheeks are still round.Take a little childish.

After that, Shi Jiale worked on this kid for more than ten days.After doing it, I realized that it was not as easy as I imagined. It took a lot of trouble just to find someone to burn these seven dolls.A friend who studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts helped Shi Jiale make mud blanks. He originally planned to go to the pottery bar to burn them. Later, he found that the pottery bar could not be glazed. Burning is seven hundred. Shi Jiale can't laugh or cry, or ask other parents if they want biennial dolls?Then, the next step is to ask the tailor to make seven hundred miniature costumes, I wonder if she will go crazy.Then, whoever dresses and socks these seven hundred little people must be a tearful thing.

Forget it, it's these seven, and the rest of them who burn some flower pots and wine pots should think of it as cooking for themselves. It's really not a businessman's voice, but Shi Jiale opened this shop to entertain himself and others, and being happy is a good thing.You can forgive if you don't understand when you are young, but you still can't see it at this age. Could it be that you are going to waste your life? The seven dolls are ready, put on the small clothes, button them up, wait a minute, before putting on the shoes, Shi Jiale takes out a seal, and carefully seals one on the soles of each doll, Jia Le Ji.This is the first time, and I hope that in the days to come, every piece of happiness sent out will bear her imprint. (I haven't seen how Shi Dabin passed on his name to future generations. Didn't the printing on the bottom of the pot help him?) The one on Saturday didn't wear his own clothes, Shi Jiale put on an apron for him, with a few small words on the chest, it can be seen carefully that it is actually "the queen volunteer of the Jiale gift shop"~~. This idea is amazing, who would dare to say that I don't know how to advertise sooner or later?It's true if you don't know how to be a human being :) The doll was ready, and Shi Jiale liked it more and more the more he looked at it, and he was almost reluctant to give it away.Calculating the cost, this set of dolls is already a sky-high price, that's all, it is better to give than to receive.I have understood the truth since I was a child, and this Shi character is not wrong. When the appointed day came, the couple came to fetch the doll.When unpacking, Shi Jiale was very happy. I don't know if you have ever experienced that little vanity waiting to be praised. But something unexpected happened. The dignified lady raised her face, and tears were streaming down her face. Shi Jiale panicked, what's the matter, what's the matter, don't cry if you are not satisfied with what you did.Just do it all over again.Although she personally thinks that this set of dolls is no longer good. The man was more stable, but his voice was not quite right.He took his wife's hand and slowly wrapped up the doll. The shop was so quiet that people could only hear a gentle voice singing softly from the speaker in the corner.It was a September day outside, and the sun was shining brightly. With a "pop", a bean-sized teardrop fell on the box and scattered in all directions. Shi Jiale hates women crying the most, they suffer the most in this world, if you don't coax them to be happy, it will be regarded as a low character. Just as he was about to give her a facial tissue, he realized that it was the man who was crying.Ah, this seemingly steady and generous middle-aged man is exactly the kind Shi Jiale praises.When the sky falls, it is up to them to withstand it. Now, the poor shopkeeper had no choice but to be at a loss. Seeing him crying, it was not good not to persuade him, but he really didn't know what to say. Finally the two of them calmed down, the man nodded at Shi Jiale: "I'm sorry, today is my son's sixteenth birthday, I think he will like this set of your gift very much." "thanks." "If I could get to know you a year earlier and let him see this set of dolls in person, I think he will definitely admire you." In person, what does that mean? "On Saturday last month, he was in a hurry to go to cram school, and when he was crossing the road, he had a car accident." Heh, I didn't expect such a sweet beginning and such a sad ending.Knorr Kee's first product, love and sorrow are beyond common sense.
