Who is the master of clay figurine kneading on Tianjinwei craft road?

Among the people on the craft road, the "clay figurine Zhang" who pinched the clay figurine ranked first. Moreover, there is a first, no second, and the third is 108,000 miles.

Clay figurine Zhang's name is. Xianfeng used to go to two places. One is the theater Grand View Building in the northeast corner of the city, and the other is the restaurant Tianqing Pavilion in Beiguan. Sitting there, you have to meet all kinds of people and pinch all kinds of people. Go to the Daguanlou stands to see all kinds of roles, and go to Tianqing Pavilion to see all kinds of roles in the world. The latter is more like.

It was raining that day, and he sat alone in Tianqingge drinking, while paying attention to the appearance of diners around him. At this moment, three people came in from the outside. In the middle, a well-dressed, big-headed, medium-sized man, with a belly and a cow's posture, stormed in. Standing on the table facing the door, the crouching man glanced at it and quickly shouted, "Mr. Zhang in the photo is a rare guest and a distinguished guest." There are always three people here-please come in! "

Hearing this publicity, diners stopped talking and even put down their chopsticks and looked at the famous Zhang. At present, Zhang Jinwen, who made a fortune by selling salt, is the most angry person inside and outside the city. In those days, he was adopted as an adopted son by General Hai Daren of Shengjing, ranking fifth. Therefore, it is also called "Zhang Haiwu". But people call him Zhang to his face and Zhang Wu behind his back. Tianjinwei is the boundary of business, and whoever has money wins three points.

But except craftsmen, craftsmen eat by hand. Who else can you ask? Afraid of who? Therefore, clay figurine Zhang only cares about drinking and eating vegetables, looking around, completely ignoring Hai Zhangwu.

But no, I just heard Hai Zhangwu talk about him. A small voice said, "people are watching a play, and they have clay figurines in their sleeves." Take it out and have a look Just like on the stage. He pinched it. " Then there was Hai Zhangwu's loud voice saying, "Where can I pinch it?" Pinched in the sleeve? Pinch it in your crotch! "Then there was a burst of laughter, making fun of clay figurine zhang.

Everyone in Tianqingge heard these words. People are waiting to see how Zhang, a clay figurine with superb skills and courage, "repays" Hai Zhangwu. A ball of mud passed through?

I saw the clay figurine Zhang didn't listen to the game. He reached under the table with his left hand and tapped the sole to dig out a piece of mud. With a glass of wine in his right hand, his eyes only looked at the tables. The left hand fiddled with the mud, and several fingers pinched it quickly, which was more dexterous than Liu, a juggler. Hai Zhangwu is still having fun. Clay figurine Zhang must have taken all those words back to the mud in his hand. Then I stopped my hand, threw the clay ball on the table, got up and went to the counter to check out.

Diners craned their necks to see that this clay figurine is really awesome! It's like cutting off Zhang Wu's head and putting it on the table. A gourd ladle-like head, bulging eyes and a proud face are more like Zhang Wu in the sea than Zhang Wu in the sea. Only the size of a walnut.

Hai Zhangwu is over there. You can tell it's him two feet away. He shouted at the back of the clay figurine Zhang who was walking out the door: "This broken craft also needs to make money, and no one wants to sell it cheaply."

Without looking back, the mud man opened his umbrella and left. But what happened to Tianjin Wei didn't end like this-

The next day, rows of clay sculptures of Zhang Wu in the sea were placed on several grocery stalls in the street outside the North Gate, and another body was added, sitting there grandly. And turn it over and buckle it, mass production, one or two hundred. There is also a white note on the booth, which reads in pen and ink: sell the sea at a low price.

It is estimated that people coming and going in the street are happy to see them. Look for acquaintances after having fun, and have another fun.

Three days later, Hai Zhangwu sent someone to buy all these clay figurines at a high price. It is said that they also bought clay molds. Clay figurines are gone, but the story of "selling Zhang Wu at a low price" has been circulating for more than 100 years until today.
