Chapter 50 Forty-nine, Panorama doll

About a month after the spider man's body was found, that is, one day in early October, a male visitor came to the shop of the puppeteer Fukuyama Tsurumatsu in S Town, Asakusa District. Underneath the western-style jacket was a blue Yuki single gown with fine lines, lined with a Shiozase brocade single-layer inner shirt, white cloth socks and felt straw shoes, quite tacky, about forty or so, like a small boss in the entertainment industry.The clothes are decent, but this man has probably been burned, half of his face is covered with red and swollen scars, his teeth are badly buckled, each tooth is inlaid with gold, and when he smiles, his face is hideous, which makes people creepy.

He said he wanted to see the owner, and the business card he handed over read: The clerk thought to himself that the Panola Horse House must order life-sized dolls, so he immediately invited him into the store.After exchanging a few words with the owner, Tsuruga, Daizo Sonoda expressed his intentions: Sonoda is responsible for the operation of Tsurumi Amusement Park, and this time a Panorama Pavilion will be built.The exterior of the building has been roughly completed, and the interior decoration will start immediately, and a group of dolls will be needed.It doesn't matter if it is mixed with used old goods. Anyway, I hope to deliver it before the end of this month.

"I've brought the blueprints I've drawn, which is roughly what I hope it will be." Sonoda said, spreading out the design drawing.Forty-nine women in various poses are drawn on the picture, and they are all naked or half-naked. "Forty-nine, I'm afraid it will be too late within this month, and it's even more difficult to handle so many naked." The puppeteer was taken aback by this unexpectedly large order, and tilted his head in thought. "Well, you can take the ready-made head and limbs, and make a new body part. Even if it doesn't look very beautiful, but in the dim Panola Horse Pavilion, you don't have to care about the details so much. In short, just make four Nineteen dolls will do.”

The two argued for a long time, and finally He Song was persuaded, and accepted the order under the condition of emergency.Since the detailed price could not be estimated immediately, Sonoda asked about the approximate budget and wrote a check for half the amount. "Is there a doll factory in the back? I want to visit." After the negotiation ended, Sonoda said as if he suddenly remembered something. "In terms of scale, we can't say what kind of factory it is, but of course you are welcome to visit it." He Song treated the big buyer as a treat, agreed immediately, and immediately led the buyer to the factory.

In the dilapidated wooden hut, several craftsmen are working.On the other side of the dirt floor, young apprentices stood in a row and were painting yellow paint on the bald heads of the clay figurines. The craftsmen were busy putting makeup on the clay figurines or sketching the facial makeup. Some people were sticking hair and stuffing glass eyes into the eye sockets.In the wooden hut, red and white heads were scattered all over the place.On the other side of the wall, there are life-size white arms, some with five fingers outstretched, and some grasping the air. There are as many as ten or twenty of them, lined up like white radishes.

Sonoda Daizo walked through it, looking around with great interest. "Wow, this thing is so exciting, there are only eyeballs on the face." It was a snow-white head like a plaster statue that hadn't been painted, hair and eyebrows hadn't been pasted on yet, with inlaid eyeballs, looking up at Sonoda vividly. However, my original intention here is not to describe the dolls in the doll factory, but to hope readers pay attention to living people.In the factory, a worker behaved abnormally. At that time, Sonoda Daizao focused all his attention on the dolls, and he didn't pay attention to the workers who made the dolls.So of course he didn't spot a lanky worker of about forty who was mixing paint in an unassuming corner of the factory.As soon as he saw Sonoda, he immediately stopped his hand of adjusting the paint, and stared at the half of the other's face without red scars, as if he wanted to see through that face.

The worker looked at Sonoda for a while, and finally seemed to be sure of something. Then he seemed to be afraid of being seen by the other party, and deliberately lowered his head.When Sonoda passed by him, he even pretended to be concentrating on mixing the paint, bent over, hunched, and curled up into a ball. As soon as Sonoda left, he quietly left the factory and asked the boss Tsurumatsu without any trace: "What was that man here for?" "Are you talking about him? He's a client. He's the owner of the Tsurumi Yuen Panorama Museum. He ordered forty-nine female nude dolls and requested delivery within this month."

It is unbelievable that the boss, Hesong, treats this worker with the same respect as his boss. The worker got to the bottom of it and asked Sonoda about it again and again. Finally, the boss let him see the check issued by Sonoda. "Ah, thank you so much. But it's all right, I misunderstood. Thank you, thank you." The tone of the worker was not at all like that of a worker. He was very happy, thanked him constantly, and then went back to the factory. The boss, He Song, was puzzled and watched the new worker leave in a daze.Instead of paying the worker's salary, he got a large gift money from the worker.The boss didn't know his name, and he was certain from the beginning that this person could never come to the factory to learn how to make dolls.However, the real purpose of this gentleman worker is unknown to the boss.
