Chapter 105 Grand Piano and Lin Mu'an (13)

Move here, it's almost this location! Yang Yi instructed the workers to move the black lacquered piano to the side of the bar in the store. A few days ago, a space was vacated here for Xixi's birthday party. Now, Yang Yi bought a piano directly to fill the space.

At the birthday party, Yang Yi showed a small hand, and Murphy's reaction was not too violent, which made Yang Yi more confident in his plan.

Now, Yang Yi can finally buy a piano in the store and enjoy it secretly!

After all, guitar is nothing, piano and violin are his true loves!

The pianos in this world are the same as those in Yang Yi's previous life, but the brand name is different, and Yang Yi can't figure out which one is better. So, he used the stupidest but also the most direct method, buying expensive ones!

The Theodore grand piano from the River Rhine, valued at 860,000 yuan, is already the best small grand piano that Yang Yi can buy at the piano shop in Jiangcheng. The concert-level kind is too big to fit.

Of course, there are also more expensive grand pianos with more than one million Swiss-made grand pianos. However, Yang Yi tried it out, and still felt that the timbre was not as good as Theodore!

But for the 860,000 spent, Yang Yi almost emptied his savings. Fortunately, it was Chen Yijie's new album that went platinum, and Yang Yi made a fortune. The income from royalties, after paying the investment to Sahara Online Bookstore, has no money left at all.

Of course, Tianxiang did not regret the gambling contract that Yang Yi signed with Tianxiang, because with the song Long Time No See, Chen Yijie's new album has also sold many copies in the mainland, which made his sales Not only has it reached the platinum standard for a Cantonese album, it has far exceeded that number!

More than 800,000 pianos in a coffee shop are indeed a bit expensive, but a thousand dollars is hard to buy a good heart, isn't it?

Xixi was very curious about this behemoth. When the workers were installing and debugging, she walked around her father, and couldn't help but pulled her father's hand, made him bow his head, and whispered in his father's ear: Baba, I know what this is!

What is it? Yang Yi asked with a smile.

It's Qin! I've seen it where Mama works! But Mama's is not that big. Xixi tried to use her little hand to gesture to her father, It's just so long, so big, and then Mama will meet Play! Mama is amazing!

Yang Yi glanced at her daughter's description and could probably understand what she was talking about, so she smiled and said, No, the one from your mother should be called an electronic organ, and the one my father bought today is called a piano!

Xixi looked at her father ignorantly, unable to understand the difference.

Why is Ma Ma called the shopkeeper Qin? What is the shopkeeper Qin? Xixi started the 10,000 Whys mode again.

Uh, it's an electronic organ. Yang Yi corrected his daughter's pronunciation, he said, You can only play with electricity, so it's called an electronic organ!

Xixi knows electricity, because her father repeatedly told her not to touch those sockets, because electricity is terrible, and electricity will eat Xixi!

Xixi understands! the little girl said innocently, Is it because the piano can play the sound because it is made of steel?

Steel has become the same power term as electricity?

Eh, Yang Yi was confused by her daughter's brain hole and didn't know how to answer. He really doesn't know why the piano is called the piano! You know, although this thing is made of steel, most of it is wood!

Yang Yi had an idea and explained: No, because the piano is made of wood and steel, but because there is already a xylophone, it is called a piano. (Note 1)

Oh! Xixi nodded half-understood, and then she asked, Isn't that Mama's Qin more powerful?

Xixi's thinking, I'm afraid Yang Yi can't figure it out even if she wants to break her head. She thinks that the electronic organ uses electricity, and all the things that use electricity are amazing and powerful, such as TV... So, the electronic organ should also be very powerful. That's right!

Of course, Yang Yi's evaluation criteria were different. He corrected: No, the sound quality of the electronic organ is basically impossible to compare with the piano, because the piano is the most authentic keyboard instrument sound!

At this moment, the tuner sent by the piano shop also helped to tune the tone. He sat on the leather stool and tried to play a tune, using his ears to judge the pitch.

Xixi also watched intently, the clear and soft piano sound fascinated the little girl. Yang Yi glanced at her daughter absentmindedly. She didn't know whether she knew how to appreciate it or not, but it seemed that she liked it very much when she saw her intoxicated expression!

At the end of the song, Xixi came back to her senses and agreed with her father: Well, Baba's piano is still amazing!

...

After the piano was placed and adjusted, Yang Yi sent the people from the piano shop out. At this time, Uncle Lu from the bicycle repair shop next to him said in a loud voice, Yang Yi, what big things did you buy again?

Added a piano to the store. Yang Yi smiled.

piano? A tall, thin, tall boy with shawl-long hair who was waiting for his bicycle to be repaired at Uncle Lu raised his head in surprise and looked at Yang Yi thoughtfully.

Hey, I don't think you have many customers in your store. Why do you still spend so much money on such expensive things? Uncle Lu was nagging and worried for Yang Yi.

These neighbors are very ordinary local people, their mouths are broken, and they like to talk about family members and family members. .

After Yang Yi said a few words to Uncle Lu, he returned to the store. He cleaned the footprints and dust left when he moved the piano just now.

On the other hand, Xixi was so curious that she climbed onto the small leather stool, first looked at the black and white keys, and then stretched out a small hand and pressed it.

Dong dong dong... duo du du...

Different keys are pressed, and there are different sounds!

Xixi seemed to have found a brand new good toy, and began to grope with joy.

At this time, a person appeared outside the door. He poked his head into the store, and then called out softly, Hello, boss!

Yang Yi walked over from behind with a mop and said from a distance, I'm sorry, but today the store is not open for business. You can see that the signboard has not been hung up!

But when he got closer, Yang Yi only saw that it was the long-haired young man at Uncle Lu's car shop just now.

Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't want to drink coffee and disturb you for a few minutes. The long-haired young man looked a little embarrassed at Yang Yi, who was as tall as a black tower, but he still mustered up his courage and said, My name is Lin Mu'an, yes A freelance musician...

Lin Mu'an, um, listening to the very ordinary Mandarin pronunciation, Yang Yi can probably tell that the other party should be from Guangdong Province. Of course not from Hong Kong City. Young people from Hong Kong City will not come to the mainland to make a living.

Yang Yi looked at Lin Mu'an, he felt that the other party looked a little embarrassed, and he didn't look like a star. There were many kinds of musicians, such as the tall, the star, the unhappy one who hung out in the bar, and the one under the overpass. Singers, those who like music and regard music as their life can actually be called musicians!

Lin Mu'an should be the third type. In his subsequent introduction, he also explained that he is now a resident singer in a bar.

What do you want? Yang Yi asked in confusion.

I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask, do you need a pianist here? It's just to play tunes for customers. Coffee shops usually have them, which makes the atmosphere of the shop more intense. I can play the piano, and I can also sing... ... Lin Mu'an tried to sell himself.

However, Yang Yi had no intention of recruiting a pianist. He bought a piano for his own amusement.

So, he smiled apologetically and said, You heard the owner of the bicycle repair shop say just now that in my coffee shop, there are only a few customers a day, so there is no need to hire another pianist.

Okay then... Lin Mu'an was disappointed, but still bowed to Yang Yi gracefully, and said, I'm sorry to bother you.

Looking at the back of Lin Mu'an leaving, Yang Yi was a little dazed.

Seems like you forgot something?

Oh yes, forgot that sentence: Please tell your story...

Well, just kidding, Yang Yi really has no idea of ​​hiring a pianist in the store.

(Note 1: Xiaohan checked the origin of the name of the piano, and there are two theories, one is what Yang Yi said, and the other may be that in the Republic of China, the piano was originally called yangqin, but the education department wanted to unify it. One name, I want to start with the materials of the piano, but I feel that the xylophone is too earthy, so I call it a piano...)

Many book friends have suggested that Xiaohan should not add (PS) to the text, it will affect reading, it is true, Xiaohan will move it to the end of the text
