Twenty-five years ago, I went to work in Xiangning, and opened a Gaoping barber shop opposite the unit. The store number was "Shaving King". Both husband and wife have good craftsmanship, good attitude and prosperous business. I naturally became a frequent visitor here. Every time you have a haircut, the guests first sit in the chair in front of the shampoo pool. The proprietress gently pressed the guest's head, turned on the tap, and water sprayed into her hair.
She gently rubbed the guest's hair, then put on shampoo and rubbed it repeatedly. The pink hand moves back and forth gently on the guest's head, which makes people be elated and ecstatic. After washing her hair, she wiped the guest's face with a towel, then dried her hair, and then asked the guest to sit in the barber chair, put the gown on the guest's chest and tucked the collar. She inserted the comb flat into the guest's hair with her left hand and cut it with scissors with her right hand. The scissors in her hand are like a light swallow knitting on the guest's head, skilled, sophisticated and charming!
After cutting, she picked up the scissors to trim them. Hair clipper makes a buzzing sound, just like a bee working hard, which sounds euphemistic. After the haircut, blow off the hair residue with a hair dryer, blow dry with your fingers, and spray glue for setting. The whole process was neat and neat, and it was amazing at one go. At this time, the guests became relaxed. She bared her teeth and started again: "Do you shave?" The guest replied, "scrape." She pulled down the mechanism under the barber chair, and it became a recliner, and the guests lay down on their backs.
She rubbed soap bubbles on the guest's face, lips and chin and applied them with a hot towel. Then he wiped the razor on the shiny sharpening cloth, took off his towel and began to shave the guests. The guests closed their eyes slightly, half asleep and enjoying all this. She gently pressed the guest's face with her tender fingers and scraped it off her forehead. The shaver makes a brushing sound, just like a pianist humming on the piano. Trim the guest's eyebrows with a razor, and then shave his cheeks and chin to his neck.
Finally, rub the guest's face up and down with a gentle palm, and then scrape it if it is not clean. After shaving your face, bad nose and ears, insert the handle end of the razor into the ear hole of the guest and turn it gently, and the dirt will come out. Then apply moisturizing oil on your face, gently massage with delicate hands, and gently hit your head with your hands folded, making a rhythmic "snapping" sound.
The guest was enjoying this meticulous service with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard a soft voice: "All right, sir, get up." The guest breathed a sigh of relief and stood in front of the mirror He saw that his hair was short and neat, his face was white, smooth and radiant, and he had a unique spirit, as if he were several years younger. Hairdressing and shaving is not only a kind of leisure enjoyment, but also a kind of self-liberation. Afterwards, you will feel refreshed, put all your troubles and worries behind you, and have dandruff.
Eight years ago, when the old city was rebuilt, my unit moved to the new city, and I also bought a new house in Zi Rong Square. Coincidentally, Shaving King's shop has just moved to Zi Rong Winery, 50 meters away from home, and it is very convenient to enjoy its thoughtful and meticulous service every once in a while. Now, nearly 50 years have passed. Isn't this half-life fate with Gao Ping barber enough to be called strange fate?
