Chapter 93: March 1997 Skylight
March 1997 Skylight
This month, the commissary launched a series of sculptures and ornaments for the Spring Festival, and also added new types at the request of the vast number of neighbors.
After all, ornaments are rarely used. Even people who are interested in collecting are enough to buy four or five pieces. Everyday items are what everyone needs most in their lives.
The new products of this month's "Chinese New Year Series" are reinforced water cups, water bottles, tableware and dishes. The materials are mainly ceramics and crystals. The fine porcelain bowls adjusted by my ability are extremely evenly glazed, and the whole vessel will not have any flaws. Although the body is thin, the strength has risen more than one step. The crystal plate, which weighs only one-third of the ordinary plate, falls from a height of two meters on the cement or tile floor and will not break. It is very reliable.
The beautifully shaped crystal bottles and porcelain bottles are also very light, and their hardness is much higher than that of ordinary materials.
These "glass" utensils in my house are specially prepared by me. Their texture is uniform enough, but the internal and external material structure is adjusted. The surface stress is handled very well by my super power. In addition to being stronger and less breakable It will not burst due to thermal expansion and cold contraction. It can be filled with boiling water and then flushed with cold water immediately, and its service life at home is far longer than ordinary similar products.
Beautiful, thin and strong, the disadvantage is that it is not insulated, and if it is filled with water and then frozen, it will still be cracked, so there are precautions on the label description of my water bottle shelf.
The clear crystal water cups and water bottles have the theme of "New Year", so the lively Spring Festival elements are indispensable.
The various colored gemstones directly inlaid in the cup body are elongated into lines and converge into various images of Yangko, dry boat, firecrackers and flower fans in the first month. These are common things for the neighbors in the county. Their imagery makes people happy.
The "hard glass bottle" is five yuan a piece, and the bottle cap is padded with a specially purchased food-grade rubber cushion.
The "hard glass plate" is three yuan a piece. The fireworks composed of finely broken colored gemstones bloom in the transparent crystal. Sold out.
"Hard Porcelain Bowls" and "Hard Porcelain Chopsticks" are also very popular. The porcelain bowls and chopsticks treated by me are as moist as jade, and there are many translucent lattices inlaid with colored gemstones on the walls of the bowls. The light spot on the table is very extravagant, and the various colored gemstones are condensed into the New Year pictures full of traditional colors by filigree technique, which is festive and auspicious. The chopsticks are decorated with shells. The chopsticks are slender and slender. A round red agate or emerald is topped on the shiny shell cap, like a tiny scepter, very beautiful.
A set of six porcelain bowls costs 20 yuan.
A set of four pairs of chopsticks costs ten yuan.
Good value for money, they sell pretty well.
If you are willing to spend 20 yuan, you can also buy a "gift box" specially for these things in my house. The boxes are made of "hard glass" and you need to book a few days in advance. The clear crystal box can make these dishes and chopsticks perfect. It's definitely a great gift to put in.
Of course, only a very few people are willing to spend 20 yuan to order a gift box. Most people don't take out a few yuan gadgets as gifts, because they can't get it.
The things in my house are really cheap. The "glass plate" is about the same as the ordinary glass plate in the market, and the price of "glass bottle" is similar to that of plastic. Everyone says that the things in the canteen are pretty and pleasing to look at, but after all, it is a Fake, those "imitation agate", "imitation jade" things are fake, no matter how beautiful, the fake is not up to the grade, and people with status disdain.
Outside the stained glass vases are often 50, 60, or 100 yuan a pair, and the most expensive one in my house is only 20 yuan, which is the same size and inlaid with gold and jade. Naturally, it is more favored by people with poor family conditions.
However, no matter how beautiful a plastic ring is, it is a worthless plastic ring. No matter how good-looking the jewelry in the canteen is, it is still some "stained glass". One or two thousand things are not worthy of comparison.
It's very interesting that the products in our commissary have always been known for their good quality, beautiful appearance and affordable prices, but it has become a reason for many people to despise them.
Many people from better families in the county even took the initiative to draw a clear line from my family's things, often despising them in their words, just to prove that they were not vulgar.
...
well, too.
My parents and myself have noticed this problem.
I have expensive things in my house, but most specialties are very cheap.
Due to the high output of dried ginseng and potatoes this year, it has dropped to 30 cents a pound in my family. The processed products of potatoes are not expensive. Now it is a favorite ration for many people with ordinary family conditions. full. It is not bad for soaking and stir-frying, and for making soup noodles.
The ginseng potato bread with a bit sour but unique flavor is also very popular now, mainly because it is cheap, with a long arm of 50 cents, slice it with a bread saw, smear it with lard and fry it for two minutes, the vegetables are crispy and tender, absolutely It's delicious, one piece is enough for an ordinary family of three to eat two meals, and it's much cheaper than buying steamed buns.
My super powers have been further enhanced. After the speed of making small ornaments has become faster, the original two-dollar dolls have also been reduced in price and become one piece. The piles of gadgets that I usually make for my son, except the ones that he particularly likes, are all sold by me. Now the shelves are full of layers, with a variety of patterns and materials, and they are still popular with many people, but also The money for two loaves of bread is no longer unattainable.
There are also new things on the market now. The Chinese New Year series that sells for a few dollars is only part of it. I will make more and cheaper utensils soon. These utensils do not need patterns. They only need to be simple in shape and durable in material. Prices will be as low as a few cents.
As for those who don't like our stuff because it's too cheap... I don't like it if I don't like it. My family didn't sell things to make a lot of money.
The products of the Canteen Spring Festival series are very popular among our target audience. Some people who come back from other places to celebrate the New Year come to my canteen to see the dazzling array of things and like it very much. The place where they are located does not have these gadgets, and it is like buying a souvenir. I have a lot of things to go, and the turnover makes my parents laugh from ear to ear.
At the end of this month, the bulky goods carried through Shimen are milk powder, eggs, lard, suet and boxes of apples. Although the apples are distributed and each person eats only a few, it is also great to have a taste of the early adopters. The sales are very good, so I bought more things to bring to the villagers to add some nutrition.
The villagers say that this winter is longer than previous years. The snow has begun to melt at the same time in previous years. This year, it was not until the end of the month that there was a few sunny days. The ice on the eaves hung with crystal water droplets shining in the sun. Guang, Jerry Wang and other children in the village sprinkled bread crumbs and rice grains on the small square of the village to feed the birds.
In this world, I saw more birds with two pairs of wings, and it seemed that I naturally accepted this reality. When I occasionally saw a pair of sparrows in the opposite world, I felt that something was missing.
The snow is too thick in winter, and birds have nowhere to find food. The small square that is specially swept away for children to play is a rare place that is not covered by snow. These little hairs find that sprinkled with rice grains, they will attract birds and birds later. The bird then grabbed and played, and I stopped killing the bird several times after I stopped it.
Well, in fact, it's not all "birds". These monsters with two pairs of wings are simply birds of prey that are bigger than hens. I don't let them catch birds and play mainly because they are afraid of injury, and These little guys catch birds for plucking and roasting to eat. Now they are not hungry, and it’s okay to eat less meat.
I don't let the birds catch, but I don't stop the little ones from feeding them, so these kids like to run around the small square every day and sprinkle something to feed the birds.
It's too difficult to find some food in the snow-capped mountains. I will feed it with my intentional permission. Countless birds gather in the small square of the village every day. Every day, a small bag of beans and millet is scattered to see these large and small birds. The scramble for pecking is also a very spectacular sight.
I never knew that there were so many birds hidden in the mountains, these children fed them, and while I was watching, I also knew no less than twenty or thirty species of birds, they were similar to what I saw in another world, but completely Haven't seen the same yet.
The birds that gather in groups at noon every day to eat have also attracted many predators, and the gathering of small birds has also become a feast for large carnivorous birds such as hawks and falcons. Injured by ferocious large birds, I used small stones to teach those big guys a lesson to let them know that hunting is okay in other places, and the area near the village is not allowed to approach.
The snow has not yet completely melted, and the village has become lively again. The villagers who have been cats for a winter are no longer as sallow and thin as they used to be, and their physical condition has improved a lot. Shoveling snow and clearing the road, ready for spring to welcome work.
The old man Galle, who lost his half-life before, can now go out of the room by himself. The old man still looks stupid and doesn't like to talk. The clothes he was wearing were from another world, with an empty sleeve hanging over him.
It can be seen that his injured spirit has recovered a lot. Now he likes to watch the people in the village working, and standing under the eaves will stare blankly for a long time.
The disaster of the werewolf took away his daughter, son-in-law and grandson. He also failed in the battle to protect the village. Now he has no fighting spirit and will barely survive.
I am not very good at enlightening others. In my opinion, it is good to eat and sleep. Time will heal a lot of pain, and he will slowly get better.
The snow was transported downhill by carts to be dumped, and the village gradually took shape. The address of the bank and the new store was also cleared by Hussein, and the construction started immediately when the weather warmed up.
The melting of the snow means that the river will flow again, isolating the village from the outside world. The sentry guards at the entrance of the village still haven't let down their vigilance, and they are always on the lookout for possible werewolf attacks.
There were no attacks, except for two hungry, red-eyed medium-sized beasts wading over to the village in the snow, the rest of the time was calm.
The two reckless beasts were discovered by the guards just after crossing the river. A group of people surrounded them with two big dogs. The two beasts felt that it was too late and wanted to escape. They were caught, tied and carried back to the village.
Originally, they would have been killed, but I told them in advance that they should try their best to catch live beasts. They saved their lives and were locked up in the newly built animal house in the village, where they served food and drink.
These two beasts are skinny, and they should be omnivorous. The hunters in the village said that these beasts are very cunning and difficult to catch. They dare to attack people in groups. They are very dangerous animals. They advised me to kill them as soon as possible. future trouble.
To be honest, these two animals are really ugly, bony, with heads a bit like the hyenas in the illustrations, a little bigger than ordinary domestic dogs, with more developed hind limbs than forelimbs, claws with feline characteristics, and tails that are almost the same as their body lengths. , the pumping force is more than a wooden stick, which is very scary.
They are all caught, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s dangerous or not. The so-called “animal house” is just a fence of about 20 square meters built with stone walls. , to feed them.
The slightly bigger male was heartless, and when he saw the food in the trough gobbled up for a while, he didn't care at all.
The mother's one struggled especially hard. It was obviously very hungry and scrawny. After eating a few bites, she looked for a place to escape, screaming, jumping up again and again, trying to cross the stone wall.
It's a pity that it was in vain. I knew that it should be very good at climbing by observing its feline-like claws. I repaired the 2.5-meter-high stone wall with a fence and made it as smooth as a mirror. .
