Chapter 613 599. Knight's Dress (55)
The quarrel between the two old men was eye-opening to Wang Bo. The two were really eloquent, and they could also fight. More than once, old Peterson hit Maxson with a pipe, and Maxson finally drew out his short saber.
This is the friendship of old-fashioned men. Wang Bo watched with peace of mind, watching with relish, and the deep affection between the two moved him.
After fighting for five full minutes, the two suddenly burst into laughter again.
Maxson stretched out his hand to Wang Bo, and said, "I'm telling you a joke, we two old guys do this every time we meet, handsome mayor, I hope you are not scared by us."
Peterson also explained: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. I haven't been back to Aocheng for a while, and this old guy refuses to go to Sunset Town, so I'm a little excited to meet again."
Wang Bo waved his hands and said, "You are too polite. I like brothers like you. I hope that when I reach your age, there will be people who can bicker like me."
Peterson shook his head and said: "This is not good, boss. The reason why this old guy likes to bicker is because he is an old bachelor. I pity him so I bicker with him. I don't want you to be a bachelor too, because Eva is the best in the world. Best girl."
"Your mayor is also the best guy in the world." Maxson laughed, and he continued to hold Wang Bo's hand vigorously, "Thank you for everything you have done for my old guy, really , you saved the poor black guy, you gave him this job, saved it."
"It? It's a good name." The old cowboy also laughed.
Maxson guessed the purpose of their arrival, so he asked Wang Bo to choose randomly. He said that in order to express his gratitude to Wang Bo for his help to Peterson, he provided a set of harness for free.
Wang Bo was embarrassed, and Peterson smoked his pipe and said, "Choose with confidence, boss, this old bastard is not a generous person, you finally have a chance to kill him, do it hard!"
Maxson pointed at him and said: "But you know, you must know, I will get back all my losses from you!"
The two of them started bickering again, while Wang Bo wandered around the shop by himself.
The things inside are very delicate, he picked up a horsewhip and shook it, the bell at the end of the handshake rang "jingling bell", and the whip made a crisp sound after drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
After choosing a riding whip, he picked out a pair of riding boots with the right size. Looking at the traces of friction on the soles, he asked in surprise, "Are these handmade riding boots?"
New Zealand has realized industrial mechanization very early, but things produced by machinery are considered lacking in spirituality, and more people like things produced by hand. Of course, for the same product, handmade goods are much more expensive.
After hearing what he said, Peterson said: "Everything here is handmade. My old man has been doing this work for generations. If you are interested, you can visit his handicraft workshop in the back later."
Maxson said with a smile: "Not all of them are my works. There are other people selling them here. Of course, they are all handmade. Don't worry."
When he said this, Wang Bo became interested. He reached out and took out a saber. The scabbard looked like it was made of tanned calfskin. He held the handle and pulled it out, and a blade with a cold light was displayed in front of him.
"Is this knife also sharpened by hand?" He asked curiously.
Maxson nodded and said: "Handmade goods, but they are not polished. You need to buy steel materials, forge them with a hydraulic hammer, quickly pickle them, and then forge them with a machine tool. The final product is what you see."
Seeing the look of admiration on Wang Bo's face, he waved his hands in a low-key manner and continued, "This is a small craft. Modern mechanical processing has long been looked down upon. Only some nostalgic guys will like this thing."
Wang Bo looked around with great interest and said, "How is your business here?"
Maxson shrugged and said, "That's it. It's not bad anyway to maintain life and reminisce about the past."
Wang Bo asked: "If I provide you with a house in Sunset Town, are you interested in moving to our place?"
Maxson smiled and shook his head halfway through listening, obviously refusing.
But Wang Bo didn't give up. He was very interested in this kind of old-fashioned denim store. Just such a store, after going to a small town and integrating it into the tourism sector, can support the sky!
"Don't be too quick to say no, cowboy, it's not all about the money, or it's not about the money, go to my place first of all you can be neighbors with your nigga, think about it, every day you get off work, sit together in your workshop Drink some wine and eat some good meat, and then discuss how to build a beautiful harness, what a beautiful life?"
"Secondly, you have such a good craftsmanship, do you want to lose it? I didn't see that you have apprentices. My town will soon start a tourism industry. You don't want to show the craftsmanship that your grandfather passed on to your father and your father passed on to you. Are more people coming to see it?"
"Look, this knife has your name on it, right? This is your name, so you don't want your name to reach a completely strange country? Let the Chinese and Americans know your reputation?"
Maxson began to rub his nose, he said hesitantly: "This is not some exclusive secret technique, it is some technique that has been eliminated."
"Existence is reasonable. Cowboys, the technology passed down by your grandfather and father will not be eliminated, but they need to change a piece of soil to survive."
Maxson shook his head stubbornly: "No, no, I won't leave. This shop is also passed down from our family. I should stay here."
A high salary may not buy the loyalty of your subordinates, but it will definitely make them willing to help.
Peterson put down his pipe and helped Wang Bo encourage: "Old man, what are you doing here? Drinking alone? Watching John Wayne movies alone? Die by the stove alone? Go, Sunset Town is great, Check it out, you'll like it."
Wang Bo decided to release a big news: "I know that the old houses in New Zealand have an overall relocation structure. I can pay to relocate all your houses to our town. How about it?"
Maxson was shaken, and he said, "Let me think about it, mayor, let me think about it, this is my hometown..."
"Go to the hometown of riding horses. The hometown is where there is wine, meat and guys!" Peterson hugged him with his arms and stuffed his pipe into his mouth.
Maxson didn't dislike it, took two puffs vigorously, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's still a bit sloppy, but if it's like what you said, why didn't I move there?"
"Cowboys have to be motivated, that's it!" Peterson shouted, "It's time to let your McKesson's craftsmanship come to light again! It's time to let those cowboys who play with mobile phones and ride motorcycles see what is called knight costumes Already!"
