111. You teased me, but you dare to tease my granddaughter?!
...
The studio has taken on some outside business, such as photo shoots and so on, so that employees at the end of the year can have some work to do without waiting for vacation.
Naoki Nagayama looked at the female model being photographed...
Hmm, so-so~
Then I watched with great interest Shuichi Itou taught his two apprentices (Masataka Komori and Masamin Inada) how to pose and how to capture the characteristics of models. By the way, I had a lunch on the set~
On the way back in the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama passed by the handicraft store near Yamazakura Temple again. This time he saw the small signboard - Aoyama - hidden among several pots of flowers.
Store.
Nondescript bilingual names were very popular in the Showa era, but they probably have nothing to do with the later famous "Aoyama Square".
There seemed to be a tea set seller inside. Nagayama Naoki parked the car and thought about buying some as a New Year's gift for his father.
"Mr. Aoyama, are you there?" Nagayama Naoki opened the door and greeted him, looking very familiar. For some reason, he couldn't be serious about this interesting old man Nagayama Naoki.
But today, a clear female voice came from the store: "Private Marseille, I'm here!"
Then a girl about the age of a high school student hurriedly ran out from the back door.
"Hi, do you need anything?" The girl ran to the counter, bowed slightly, and asked Naoki Nagayama,
Huh? This girl is pretty~
Looking at this pretty girl in a dress, Naoki Nagayama had this thought in his mind, but he didn't continue to stare at her. He was not a wretched uncle.
"Isn't Mr. Qingshan here?"
"Ogissan went out for something. I came to visit the store temporarily. Are the customers here to see grandpa? It will probably take a while before he can come back."
The guest turned out to be a handsome young man!
When did grandpa meet such a handsome guy? Are they really friends? Isn't there a big age difference?
The girl's expression was still very calm. Judging from her appearance, she would never have imagined that so many questions were running through her little mind.
"Actually, that's not really the case. I'm here for shopping. The lady who's temporarily visiting the store should be very familiar with the products in the store, right?"
"Eh? Yes, I know the price and everything!"
After being suddenly asked by the good-looking brother, the girl seemed a little nervous, "Does the guest want to buy anything?"
"Hi, please introduce to me the tea sets in your store. I plan to buy a set for my elders."
"OK, just a second."
This young girl knew from a glance that she had only done business a lot. She didn't even ask about prices or preferences. She actually took out all the tea sets in the store, placed six or seven sets on the counter, and then explained each set.
The style, price, intended audience, and even the flaws of the product were all clearly told to Naoki Nagayama.
After the introduction, it seemed that he was still not satisfied. Without waiting for Naoki Nagayama to say anything, he went to get some single craft tea bowls, teapots and other items.
After going back and forth several times, even the counter could no longer fit, and the girl's face became red from the exercise.
"Guest, which one do you think suits your taste?"
“These feel like very good products.”
With these words in his mouth, Nagayama Naoki looked back and forth among the pile of tea sets.
Finally, I fell in love with a carved tea table made of ebony wood. The brown and black color is calm and elegant, and the exquisite carving highlights the craftsmanship. It will definitely look good with the high-end tea set given last year.
Then I fell in love with a wood-fired pottery tea bowl, with natural patterns and antique charm.
"Miss the clerk who is temporarily visiting the store, please give me these two pieces~ Give them to me in a gift box~"
"Hi~" After hearing this, the girl quickly wrapped up the two items. She also added foam to the gift box to prevent it from being damaged, and tied a beautiful bow on the outside of the gift box.
"The customer has already packed it, and the price is 56,350 yen."
"Eh? Why don't you even give me a small change?"
Seeing such a mixed price, Naoki Nagayama asked casually based on the principle of hitting a shot if there is a date or not.
But this seemed to stop the girl from asking, and she replied weakly: "Arnold, there is no such activity as wiping out zeros in our store."
Naoki Nagayama took out his wallet and joked: "What, I can be Mr. Aoyama's friend~ Is there no discount for such a status?"
Looking at the girl who seemed a little surprised, Nagayama Naoki felt like he was bullying a little girl.
At this moment, the girl must be thinking in her heart, how could there be such a shameless person...
However, in the end she compromised: "Then, how about 56,000 yen."
"Is this good? Doesn't it mean that there is no discount for erasing zeros?"
"Eh? But didn't the guest say he was a friend of Ogi-san..."
"Then what if I lied to you?"
"Nani?" The girl's eyes widened with a sense of grievance, which made her want to bully her even more.
"Hahaha, keep your money, temporary clerk-san~"
Naoki Nagayama, who had a bad taste, counted the money and handed it to the girl, "Don't believe everything next time, otherwise good-looking girls will be easily deceived!"
The girl was left at the counter, a little confused.
.......
This girl is very cute and beautiful~ Putting the gift in the back of the car, Naoki Nagayama drove back to Yamasakura-in in a happy mood.
Now the only gift left for my eldest brother is unfinished. I have already given him a fishing rod and a handmade float. How about I give him a three-piece fishing set this time? However, if you fall in love with fishing at a young age, it is difficult to plan for it in the future.
Live your whole life with fish?
After some thought, we arrived at Yamazakura-in. Standing quietly in the afternoon sunshine, it gave people a sense of peace of mind.
The first thing I did when I got home was, of course, to turn on the record player and put on a soft blues record. Amidst the gentle melody, I sorted out the things I had bought.
Oh, by the way, I haven't bought the support stick yet...Forget it, I'm back home, so let's talk about it tomorrow.
...
In the afternoon, Aoyama Shin returned to the store, still dressed in a daily kimono.
I saw my granddaughter sitting in a daze behind the counter,
"Zhikezi, what are you doing? You look absent-minded."
"Ah, Ogissan is back. Has the product been delivered? Is the journey going well?"
"Of course the train ride went smoothly."
The old man shook his sleeves and then looked around the store. Many things seemed to have been moved, "Have any customers come here before?"
"Well, I bought two tea sets and said they were Grandpa's friends."
Chiko Aoyama looked embarrassed at this moment, "He is a super handsome guy~"
When Mr. Qingshan saw his granddaughter's current expression, coupled with the distracted look before,
No, there is a bad guy who wants to attack my granddaughter!
"A handsome young man who can make his granddaughter feel shy... is still my friend..."
Images flashed through my mind, "How could Xiu Xiu really be that bad boy?!"
You teased me, and you dare to tease my granddaughter?!
Damn you guy, believe it or not, I have a hundred ways to make you regret what you did!
