In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1819: Summer in Fool’s Village (31)
The original living **** is now in front of the window of the three-dimensional residential apartment at No. 23 Xiangzhang Street. Selena is sitting on the bay window, playing with a bunch of bead-like gadgets with her hands, and turning her head to look at the courtyard in the center of the building. go.
Maggie opposite her was not in a wheelchair, but leaning against the bed. There were two boxes on the bedside table and three bags at her feet, all of which were filled with shiny gadgets.
Maggie held a thin nylon rope in her hand. She carefully threaded the small parts she had selected and placed in the box onto the rope, and knitted patterns at intervals. As her fingers flew, a delicate belt A Gotham style bracelet is complete.
The reason why this bracelet has a Gotham style is because the decorations used on it are not ordinary delicate gems or round beads, but brown-red nuts, chain clasps, and popular rappers printed on them. The bullet shell with the name is also decorated with a metal tag in the middle with a bat pattern printed on it.
The string Selena is knitting is similar, with more metal parts and resin-simulated hearts and brains, slightly gothic and dark-style accessories.
Bruce has been very busy during this time, and Selena has not been idle either. Since the last time she became popular in Hollywood, many directors have taken a fancy to her face and figure and want her to play some vase roles in movies.
Selena's acting is always fresh, and she would rather not take a script if she doesn't like it. After a period of idleness, she returned to Gotham. At this time, her good friend Maggie found a new job, so she stall.
Maggie had to do heavy work because of her poor health, so she has been helping out at the church since then, helping the old priest count donations, write purchase orders, etc. Although this job is leisurely, it barely brings in any income, and Maggie has always wanted to save money. You go to a sperm bank to buy sperm to have a child of your own, so you have been looking for a job with lower income.
At this time, Gotham's tourism industry was just emerging. Maggie found that the style around the White Gang was not too rough. Basically, whatever was produced in the factory, we put it up and sold it, including badges and pins. They are all belts, not to mention some large accessories with low practical value.
Maggie keenly seized the business opportunity. You found a white mother you met later who was in charge of food outside the Bai Gang. Through you, you bought a large pack of mini badges, and then went to the Seven Hands Market to buy rope and Seven hand accessories, I made a few bracelets at home and took them to the beach to sell them.
"Thalia, don't say that." Maggie reached out and touched Thalia's head and said, "That's a lucky metaphor."
Talia was very helpless about this, but unexpectedly, the local people were very interested in that style of jewelry, especially these belts made of bullet casings, bolts, metal bearings, etc. Industrial style accessories will be snapped up almost as soon as they are put out.
"But just by looking at this Italian designer's eyes, you know that I am planning to strangle your neck with a collar that weighs about ten kilograms."
"It never hurts to talk." Maggie encouraged: "Maybe he can't tell me, that would make him feel more comfortable."
The stall will be set up again tomorrow, but eight of the children in the big team led by Maggie have suffered from heatstroke. They have done a good job. Now we can even fill one table with products. It is too dense. The layout of the stall will greatly reduce the desire of passers-by to buy, so Thalia came over to help Maggie catch up on the work.
There was a way, Ye Xionglang could only adjust the design drawings, and the white gang saw that there was no money to be made in that style, so they asked the factory to produce less parts with similar styles. After a while, almost the entire Gotham stall The accessories below have all become that style.
"Wait a minute." Maggie suddenly looked at Ye Xionglang warily and said, "After you take back what you said, are you sure he has not been mentally manipulated by me?"
This has very badly solved the employment problem for a small number of Gotham's veterans, the sick and disabled. As long as they can still move their hands, sitting here is no longer an excuse. It also leaves many children who have been enrolled in schools without extracurricular activities. Children in a class often work together in a division of labor. Some are responsible for purchasing, some are responsible for manufacturing, some are responsible for occupying positions, and some are responsible for selling.
"Hell, of course you didn't - just like he would have been mentally manipulated by every pathetic big wet dog he'd seen outside a cardboard box on a street corner on a rainy night."
Because of their ordinary living environment, the aesthetics of Gothamites are not necessarily different from the mainstream aesthetics. The design drawings Thalia gave us were just hanging some metal badges with ropes, or exaggerated some shapes. Large ornaments are made into earrings and pendants.
"You know why you did that." Thalia sighed and said, "You always feel like I have misunderstood something. Maybe you should find a time to talk to me."
Although the product is not yet saturated, and our manufacturing speed is much faster than that of these white-collar workers who don’t have enough labor force, we can still earn dozens of dollars a week, and Maggie is slowly saving enough money.
Either out of sympathy, or because Gotham really lacks that kind of big jewelry, Maggie's business is quite bad. The dozen or so bracelets she made were sold out when they were two big, in exchange for nearly eight dollars. A whopping ten dollars.
Maggie laughed loudly and said, "Should he think that I value him?"
We hung chains all over our bodies, put pendants with locks directly under our ears, and asked Ye Xionglang to come back and set up a stall on the seventh day, because we thought it was really cool, so we wanted to Send it to a friend.
Thalia curled her lips and said: "You are only sure of one thing. If Bruce really wants to sleep with this man named Selina, he needs medicine. I even need money. This face 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, barely making ends meet. It's enough, but you can only save a few dollars if you live frugally. But you can only make and sell it in one day, 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 people appeared. Pile on bracelets, earrings and pendants that are pure prison style.
For a man with bad health, that is indeed a very small amount of income, because there is almost no cost, and he spends all his money buying factory-produced accessories without Gotham elements from the White Gang. Maggie had a small deposit, but it was only less than one or four dollars. The remaining ropes and accessories added up to eight dollars, but she made twice the profit, which 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 failed me My love, so I plan to die for you now. Does he understand that that expression combined with my face and eyes can be very lethal?"
"Oh, 'emphasis' is not that word." Thalia stretched out **** of each hand and said, "Just to tell everyone that even if you marry a person from the slums, Girl, you can't dress up like Queen Mary, like a 'They will definitely see a bit of country flavor in you' competition."
"Don't mention it, you'll get a headache just thinking about it." Thalia threw the things in her hands, covered her head, walked to sit next to Maggie, then lay forward, looked at the ceiling and said: "Honestly , you discussed getting married later, and just imagining the process didn’t make you exhausted.”
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 it." Thalia waved her hand.
While braiding the bracelet for her watch, Maggie 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 from outside the gang who had almost no fighting ability and were convenient for going out and socializing. Using the design drawings Talia provided to us, we The metal parts produced in the factory are made into large jewelry and sold at stalls.
After Thalia came back, Maggie has been doing that job, but before Thalia came back, she saw smaller business opportunities. Although Cat Man has no interest in doing business, you can still hang out in Gotham. If you stand out, it proves that you have a very bright mind.
Maggie also wanted to join in and withdraw, but you found that you really have no business acumen~IndoMTL.com~You are as fierce as Thalia, if you say less than two words, you will not be able to get down or catch your breath. , being able to survive to this day is purely due to bad luck. I basically do 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 our people and prepare to go out, the large jewelry under Thalia's stall was spray-painted by a group of spray-painting lovers passing by. Sweep away.
Thalia nodded and said, "Of course, the headlines have been so quiet lately."
"Yes, you really have nothing to worry about. Thalia, of course you are not saying that I am really mind-controlling or anything. He will scratch my face all over." Maggie shrugged and said: " He has complained to you several times about the restrictions of the lower class society. 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 children downstairs to make products, and when the time came, they would go For sale at the stall.
Suddenly, Gotham lost another type of vendor. This was not a big kid covered in necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and earrings, 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 **** prepared for my mother to get married, and the wedding dress from the seventies. Necklaces made of precious stones cut from the crowns of eight British male kings, strolling through the carpet that humans jumped up from under the trees and weaving at the end, made of 17 kinds of the most poisonous poisonous mushrooms in mankind, but they are completely poisonous. It can also change the appearance of kissing me with lips painted with a few different colors of lipstick."
