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. There are two places that Xianfeng used to visit during his years, one is the Grand View Garden in the northeast corner of the city, and the other is the Tianqing Restaurant in Beiguan. Sitting there, you have to meet all kinds of people and pinch all kinds of people.

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. The one in the middle is well dressed, with a big head, slim figure, a belly and a good posture. 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! "

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.

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.

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. 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."

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 is written in pen and ink: "selling the sea for sale".

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.
