Chapter 492 Personal Customization

“Comrade, let’s do this. I’ll buy a piece of red paper for one penny, and you’ll cut out three pairs of window grilles in front of us.

I will take the window grilles you cut and ask the leader for instructions. If the leader agrees, then we will do as you say! "The older salesperson took a deep breath and said with a smile.

“Sure,” Xiao Jun nodded, his lips slightly curved, but he was extremely excited inside.

I didn’t expect that he would be able to replicate An Zhixia’s success back then. The only pity is that this town is too small and the effect is greatly reduced.

The salesperson took out a one-cent note from his pocket, carefully wrote out the order, and after completing the process, led Xiao Jun to sit behind the counter, carefully pulled out the red paper and handed it over.

Xiao Jun took out the old scissors that had been repaired countless times and had obvious bumps from his bag, and carefully cut the red paper into six parts.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and decided on the pattern in his mind. He simulated it ten times in his mind before holding the scissors and the red paper and started cutting.

Although he just started paper-cutting last night, he couldn't help but that his overall quality was strong, his practice was organized, and his head was like a precise instrument, already giving precise orders to his hands.

The salesmen only saw him lowering his head and **** quickly. Before they could take a closer look, he had already put down the scissors in about two minutes.

Xiao Jun opened the paper and split it in two, revealing a pair of circular window grilles. The red sun emits blazing brilliance, the majestic rooster raises its neck, and the four words "Golden Rooster Announcement" are embedded in it!

“It’s really beautiful.” A salesperson picked it up and admired it with his colleagues.

It is impossible for Xiao Jun to really nail down all the details in such a short period of time. Fortunately, he has learned artistic calligraphy and slightly processed it, so that the cut out patterns are round, beautiful and delicate.

He smiled and continued to cut out the second piece of window decoration. The Chinese knot formed the frame, the top, bottom, left and right corners were New Year greetings, and the arrogant rooster was still in the middle.

The third window grille has a circular frame, with large Chinese characters of spring stacked with peonies in the middle. Next to spring hangs the four characters of spring and blessings, and there is a rooster standing in the belly of spring.

Three six window paintings completely captured the four of them, and the director was also summoned because of the little exclamation.

Several salesmen came forward one after another and narrated the incident from beginning to end in a low voice.

The director's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Comrade, let me ask you, do you think this method was learned from Kyoto? How effective is it?"

Xiao Jun said with a smile: "I heard from the elders in my family that at the end of 1972, a company called Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Dongcheng District, Kyoto held a promotion event.

It means giving away window decorations, oil paintings and couplets written on site when you buy something.

Many people went to buy it, and the whole Dongcheng District was in a sensation. In less than a day, the supply and marketing cooperative sold out the goods in several warehouses.

You must have heard of these, right? "

"I vaguely heard someone mention it, but I was only promoted in the past few years, and I'm in a remote area, so I can't receive information in time." The director waved his hands and sighed as he explained, "If the activity you mentioned is effective, , how about I give you a pair of window grilles and pay you a piece of red paper as reward?"

Xiao Jun silently calculated in his mind that one piece of red paper cost one penny, and ten pieces of red paper cost one cent. Although it's not much, he is very satisfied now.

He came down and signed a more formal cooperation contract with the director.

Xiao Jun placed tables and chairs at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, sat down and started cutting the window grilles, while shouting at the top of his voice: "Comrades passing by, don't miss it.

Today’s New Year’s goods are on sale in advance. Any customer who comes into the store and purchases a product worth one yuan will receive an exquisite window grille worth two cents! "

His advertising slogans are also changed one after another, with an authentic Kyoto flavor and a full sense of rhythm, which makes people listen with gusto.

There are poor and rich people everywhere. People who pass by the door of the supply and marketing cooperative cannot help but be tempted to come in after hearing this.

Behind Xiao Jun is a wall with some patterns he just cut out posted on the wall.

Everyone took a look at the new and beautiful window grille samples and couldn't help but come up to ask about the event.

The window grilles usually sold by supply and marketing cooperatives only cost a few cents, but those window grilles are not as good-looking as this one.

Everyone is excited. In addition, there are words with very good meanings in it. Thinking about New Year’s goods, we have to buy them sooner or later, so why not buy them during the event?

Besides, the closer to the end of the year, the more expensive the price, so they spent money and tickets to buy things. Candies, dried fruits, snacks, just weighing them all cost one yuan.

Xiao Jun doesn't have An Zhixia's beautiful calligraphy skills, nor does he have the New Year pictures carved from radish. He just relies on cutting window grilles on the spot.

Customers are all interested in Xiao Jun, a handsome little boy who cuts window grilles, and they often ask him questions to tease him.

Xiao Jun's lips curled up into a smile, and he didn't answer easily. He just lowered his head slightly and worked hard at cutting.

In order to let customers deeply realize that exquisite window grilles are really worth two cents, he lets customers choose the style and cuts them one by one, rather than stacking thick stacks of red paper on top of each other to make them in batches.

And he can also ask a question or two to add some inspiration.

Xiao Jun is very fast, keeping each cut within two minutes and cutting without stopping. He really has the same hard work as An Zhixia back then.

At noon, the director specially ordered big meat buns for everyone from the state-owned restaurant next door, and stuffed three of them into Xiao Jun.

Each one was so big and filling that Xiao Jun was almost moved to tears after taking the first bite.

He has not had a good meal of meat for four days.

Xiao Jun ate with big mouthfuls, and he would choke and hit his chest every time.

“Don’t eat in such a hurry, drink some brown sugar water,” the director smiled and handed over the steaming hot brown sugar water, which actually had a poached egg in it.

Xiao Jun looked over doubtfully.

“Everyone has worked hard today, so I pay for extra meals from my own pocket.”

Everyone smiled and thanked them, and continued to eat hard.

Each of them only has a few minutes to eat, and then they have to deal with a new wave of guests.

There are still several small processing factories in the town, and family homes are built almost next to each other. Every little thing can be heard from the street to the end of the street.

So everyone knows that you can get beautiful window grilles for free when you buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative!

And because Xiao Jun’s proficiency has reached a new level, he also accepted the idea of ​​cutting four auspicious words into the window grilles on the spot.

This is something that many old people with more than ten or even decades of experience in paper-cutting cannot do. After all, their most precious thing is templates, and there are very few that they create and ponder by themselves.

By the end of the day, Xiao Jun’s hands were so numb that he could hardly let go of his arms.

At this moment, he especially admired Teacher Xiaoan. He couldn't even handle customers from a small town. How did she serve the entire Dongcheng District?
