Chapter 1819: Summer in Fool Village (31)

In front of the window of the three-dimensional residential apartment at No. 23 Xiangzhang Street, Selena sat on the bay window, fiddling with a bunch of beads with her hands, and turned to look at the courtyard in the center of the building.

Maggie, who was opposite her, was not in a wheelchair, but leaning against the bed. There were two boxes on the bedside table, and three bags under her feet, all of which were filled with some shiny little things.

Maggie held a thin nylon rope in her hand, carefully threaded the small parts selected in the box onto the rope, and weaved a fancy pattern at a certain distance. As her fingers flew, an exquisite Gotham-style bracelet was completed.

The reason why this bracelet is said to have a Gotham style is that the decorations on it are not ordinary exquisite gems or round beads, but brown-red nuts, chain buckles, bullet shells printed with the names of popular rappers, and a metal label in the middle with a bat pattern printed on it.

The string Selina is weaving is similar, with more metal parts, and some resin simulated hearts and brains, which are slightly Gothic dark style accessories.

Bruce has been very busy recently, and Selina has not been idle either. Since she became a little famous in Hollywood last time, many directors have taken a fancy to her face and figure and want her to play some vase roles in the movie.

Selina's acting is originally for novelty, and she would rather not take scripts that she doesn't like. After being idle for a while, she returned to Gotham, and at this time her good friend Maggie found a new way to make a living, that is, to set up a stall.

Maggie did heavy work because of her bad health. After that, she has been helping in the church, helping the old priest count donations, write purchase orders, etc. Although that job is idle, it almost has some income. Maggie has always wanted to save money to go to the sperm bank to buy sperm to have a child of her own, so you have been looking for a job with lower income.

At this time, Gotham's tourism industry had just started to rise. Maggie found that the style of the white gang's peripherals was really too rough. Basically, whatever was produced in the factory, we put it on the market to sell. Badges and even pins were worn, not to mention some large accessories with low practical value.

Maggie keenly seized the business opportunity. You found a white mother who was in charge of food outside the white gang. You bought a large bag of mini badges through you, and went to the Seven Hands Market to buy ropes and Seven Hands accessory parts. You made a few bracelets at home and took them to the beach to sell.

"Thalia, don't say that." Maggie reached out and touched Talia's head, and said, "That's an auspicious metaphor."

Talia was helpless about this, but unexpectedly, the locals were very interested in that style of accessories, especially those industrial-style accessories made of bullet shells, bolts, metal bearings, etc., which were almost sold out as soon as they were put out.

"But just by looking at the Italian designer's eyes, you know I'm going to strangle your neck with a collar weighing about 10 kilograms."

"It's always good to talk." Maggie encouraged: "Maybe he can't tell me, that makes him feel comfortable."

The stall will be set up again tomorrow, but eight children in the big team led by Maggie have heat stroke, and they are completely exhausted. We can't even fill one table with products now. Too dense a stall layout will greatly reduce the desire of passers-by to buy, so Talia came to help Maggie rush the work.

There is a way, Ye Xionglang can only adjust the design, and the white gangs see that there is no money to be made in that style, so they ask the factory to produce fewer parts of similar style. After a while, almost all the accessories under the Gotham stall have become that style.

"Wait." Maggie suddenly looked at Ye Xionglang warily and said, "Take back what you said. Are you sure I didn't control him mentally?"

That solved the employment problem of a small number of Gotham's old, strong, sick and disabled people. As long as their hands can move, they can sit here. It also made the children who were recruited into the school have no extracurricular activities. Often, the children in a class divided the work and cooperated. Some were responsible for purchasing, some were responsible for manufacturing, some were responsible for occupying seats, and some were responsible for selling.

"Damn it, of course you didn't-just like he would be controlled mentally by every big dog that he saw outside the cardboard box on the corner of the street on a rainy night. "

Due to their ordinary living environment, the aesthetics of Gotham people are not much different from the mainstream aesthetics. Talia's design drawings for us are just some metal badges hung up with ropes, or some exaggerated large ornaments made into earrings and pendants.

"You know why it's like that." Talia sighed and said, "You always feel that I've misunderstood something. Maybe you should find time to talk to me."

Although the product is not yet saturated, and our manufacturing speed is not as fast as those white gangs who don't have enough labor, we can still make dozens of dollars a week, and Maggie will slowly save enough money.

Maybe out of sympathy, or Gotham really lacks that kind of big jewelry, Maggie's business is quite good. The dozen bracelets she made were sold out in two hours, and she earned nearly 80 dollars.

Maggie laughed loudly and said, "Should he think I value him?"

We hung chains all over our bodies, put the pendants with locks directly under our ears, and asked Ye Xionglang to come back to set up a stall on the seventh day, because we think it's really cool, so we want to send it to our friends.

Talia curled her lips and said, "You are only sure of one thing. If Bruce really wants to have sex with this man named Selina, he needs to take medicine. I even need to be penniless. This face is not the worst weapon."

You found the Bai Gang, who manages Zhengta Street, to show us the results of Maggie's handicrafts. Once it was over, the Bai Gang dismissed it, and Thalia set up a stall in front of the Bai Gang.

It’s not that there are more lucrative jobs in Gotham, but Maggie is in poor health and almost relies on a wheelchair when going out. You can only earn 80 cents a day as a helper at the church, which is enough to make a living. , but you can only save a few dollars by living frugally, but it only takes one day for you to make and sell, but you have lost a staggering amount of savings compared to the people at the bottom of Gotham.

But the whims of Gotham people have allowed us to take a small step in the aspect of unique style. People who have worked in the white gang for a long time choose accessories and match them according to their own understanding, so a small group of pure prisons appeared. Bracelets, earrings and pendants.

For a man who is in bad health, it is indeed an extremely low income, because there is almost no cost. Buying factory-produced accessories without Gotham elements from the White Gang cost Maggie a whole life. It was a small deposit, but it was only less than one or four dollars. The remaining ropes and accessories added up to eight dollars, but I made twice the profit. That was quite astonishing.

Maggie covered her face with her hands and said, "You really know how the two of them get along on a daily basis. You are very convinced that the two of them will be discharged from the mental hospital together, and even need one less caregiver."

Because you are not setting up a stall, you are occupying the space. You are just hanging those things under a piece of cloth under your wheelchair, and the sales gang is too lazy to care about you as you retreat into the crowd.

"And you are even more convinced that just because I really gave Ye Xionglang the drug, Selina could have tested positive for drug residue in any hospital in Gotham, or any hospital in the world."

"Then I would show a very sad expression, as if you were playing these big games with me of 'How many things can be hung under a doll'? It's completely your fault, you have let down my love. I mean, so I plan to die for you right now. Does he understand that that expression combined with my face and eyes can be very lethal?"

"Oh, 'attention' is not that word." Thalia stretched out two fingers on each hand and said, "Just to tell everyone that even if you marry a girl from the slums, you You can't dress up like Queen Mary, like a 'They will definitely see a bit of country flavor in you' game."

"Don't mention it, you'll get a headache just thinking about it." Thalia threw the things in her hands, covered her head and walked to sit next to Maggie, then lay forward, looked at the ceiling and said: "Honestly, after you You’ve discussed getting married, and you’re not exhausted just thinking about the process.”

Maggie smiled bitterly and sighed: "He is too optimistic. He knows that these reporters are looking for him everywhere, trying to get evidence of Bruce Wayne's mental abuse from his mouth."

"That's all." Thalia waved her hand.

As Maggie knitted the bracelet for her watch, she looked up at Thalia and asked, "Has he read the latest newspaper?"

The White Gang felt that it was very unprofitable, so they cooperated with Talia to organize people outside the gang who had almost no fighting ability and were also convenient for socializing. Using the design drawings provided by Talia, they produced the products from the factory. Metal parts are made into large ornaments and sold at stalls.

Maggie has been doing that job since Thalia came back, but before Thalia came back, she saw smaller business opportunities in it. Although Cat Man has no interest in doing business, you can make it in Gotham. It proves that your brain is very bright.

Maggie also wanted to join in and withdraw, but you found that you really have no business mind. You are as fierce as Thalia. You can't even say a few words at least and you are out of breath. It is purely a matter of your ability to survive today. If you are unlucky, you will basically be doing the work of negotiating with white gangs or seizing stalls.

The White Gang might have allowed themselves to be arrogant, but in the ten minutes it took us to gather people and prepare to go out, the large jewelry under Thalia's stall was swept away by a group of spray-painting enthusiasts passing by. .

Thalia nodded and said, "Of course, the headlines have been so quiet lately."

"Yes, you really don't have anything to worry about. Thalia, of course you don't mean that I really have mind control or anything. He will scratch my face all over." Maggie shrugged and said, "It's true that he I have complained to you several times about the restrictions of the lower class. If the two of them really get married, they will have less trouble. Can he adapt to it? "

So Talia reached a deal with the white gang that she initially cooperated with, and your men got the right to use a stall eight days a week. Maggie took the seven or eight older children downstairs to make products, and when the time came, they would go to the stall to sell them. .

Suddenly, Gotham lost another kind of big seller. This was not a big kid with necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and earrings all over his body, walking around the streets selling the big accessories we made to tourists.

"Does he know? I'm probably going to invite the whole world to watch the ceremony, and then show us that you are going to wear a wedding dress that may be the wedding dress that Jesus prepared for my mother to get married, and the wedding dress from seventy-eight British people. A necklace made of precious stones pulled out of the crown under the male king's head, a carpet that was weaved by humans after jumping up from the tree, and made of seventeen kinds of the most poisonous poisonous mushrooms in mankind, but it is completely poisonous and can change. It’s the way he kisses me with his lips painted with a few different colors of lipstick.”
