Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 610
Sanshui Town, this is a remote town near the Hengduan Mountains, so remote that no courier can deliver it here.

After moving here, Zhou Qin finally realized the benefits of post and EMS, because as an online shopper, after he came here, all the familiar Shentong, Zhongtong, Yuantong, Guotong, including SF Express, etc., were all gone. .

Only the postal service operated by the state has tenaciously penetrated here.

When shopping for the first time, Zhou Qin, who didn't know what was going on, placed an order as before, and the store sent Shentong.Three days later, when the courier was about to arrive here, there was no movement that day.

The next day, there was still no movement.

On the third day, Zhou Qin inquired and saw the message: Because the buyer could not be contacted, no one answered the phone, and the delivery will be contacted next time.

Have a phone?
No, Zhou Qin checked, but there was no call.

On the fourth day, there was no phone call, let alone delivery.

Day [-].

Day [-].

On the seventh day, Zhou Qin had no choice but to take the initiative to call. He still checked the number, and then got the message: Sorry, we don’t deliver in your area, please come to the county to pick up the goods.

Is there no delivery and collection point?Zhou Qin asked.

No.The other party said lightly.

Zhou Qin collapsed, because it was more than 80 miles from here to the county seat, nearly a hundred miles!

This is not the same as usual when you can go downstairs to pick up the goods. The difference...is it too far away?

After learning about express delivery, when he was shopping again, every time he placed an order, he had to make a note: please send by post or EMS, other express delivery cannot receive the goods!
Also use the big black box to highlight the post.

Remoteness, in the first place, entered Zhou Qin's life in such a way.

The reason why he came here, and he didn't even rule out settling here in the future, was because Zhou Qin was tired of working and living in big cities. He had stayed in first-tier cities in China, and many places in second-tier cities.

In the end, he chose a Nepalese-style domestic town.

Here, there is very little hustle and bustle, and there are few cars coming and going in the town. The air is no longer filled with smoke and exhaust, but the smell of grass and trees outside the town.

In fact, it is not accurate to say outside the town.

Because the largest road in the town, there are not many grasses growing sporadically along the roadside, and it is not too far to walk along this "avenue", which is about three to five minutes away. There is no "avenue" No matter where you turn, you will turn into a real trail.

The roadside is grass.

One of the trails leads directly to the outskirts. There are mountains, rivers, and grass and trees everywhere.

Not long after coming here, Zhou Qin became familiar with this trail and the countryside outside the trail.

Every morning, after sleeping until he wakes up naturally, after taking a shower, etc., and drinking a large cup of cold boiled water, Zhou Qin will cross the trail from the avenue, walk for 5 minutes, and enter the countryside, along a small river, meandering Running on the ground, running seven or eight kilometers like this, and then running and walking, from the foot of the mountain to the top of a small hill.

Sit or lie down and rest, watch the sunrise, or just lie down.

After returning, I went to the town to eat a bowl of bean curd, which was very cheap, a large bowl cost one yuan, and then boiled side dishes cost another one yuan. Zhou Qin couldn't tell the name, so he asked someone, but he couldn't understand the name they said.

That's fine, it's delicious anyway.

Cheap and affordable, a total of two dollars, this is his breakfast.

Zhou Qin's rented place is a very spacious single courtyard. If you really want to calculate the area, let alone a thousand square meters, there are always seven or eight hundred square meters.

In addition to the detached courtyard, he lives in a long attic divided into three rooms. In front of the attic, there is a rain-deck (rain shelter)-style corridor, which is very rough and has a width of two meters.

Originally, the corridor was empty and empty. After Zhou Qin moved in, a lot of flower pots were lined up here. In fact, they were big washbasins, black pottery pots, etc., authentic flower pots, small town It cannot be bought.

Of course there are no flower sellers.

The grass, flowers, small trees and other wood plants in the flower pots were all dug by Zhou Qin himself from the mountains and fields in the suburbs.

One plant was transplanted every now and then, and slowly, the corridor and courtyard became an exquisite garden.

Returning to the residence after breakfast, Zhou Qin will slowly inspect these potted plants, watering those that need to be watered, pruning those that need to be pruned, and treating these as digestion after meals.

After digesting, Zhou Qin officially started working.

He is a sculptor, specifically, a woodcarver, who carves both large and small pieces, mostly small ones, such as chopsticks, spoons, pen holders, portraits and so on.

Ordinary chopsticks, if the unused end is a little special, it can be a pair of orchid chopsticks, and of course the same is true for spoons.

As for the pen holders, there are even more decorations, and there are all kinds of strange shapes. Zhou Qin has been engaged in carving for seven or eight years, and he has never carved two identical pen holders.

Portraits are custom made.

The buyer sends a photo, and Zhou Qin carves out a lifelike portable pendant of different sizes based on the photo. The price of these pendants is not expensive, and one piece is usually only 200 yuan. It is popular among young people, especially young couples. among quite popular.

Whether it is a man to a woman or a woman to a man, it is a pretty good little gift.

Many customers will become repeat customers or old customers after getting one item, and then want more, for themselves, for their lover, for their parents, and for their children.

This item alone accounted for nearly half of Zhou Qin's income.

In fact, if he specialized in carving this, not only would he save worry and trouble, but his income would increase a lot. But for Zhou Qin, casually earning tens of thousands of yuan a month was enough to meet his psychological expectations.

His pursuit did not focus on higher and better income, but devoted himself to the world of woodcarving.

Wood carving, combined with miniature carving, made him mesmerized.

The world is so strange. Under his study, the woodcarving skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, but the income is also increasing day by day without the intention of chasing it.

In this way, Zhou Qin didn't care much about his income. He hadn't checked how much money was in his bank card for almost a year, even if he just opened the app on his mobile phone.

Freed from the shackles of money, Zhou Qin slowly moved closer to the "beauty" he pursued in woodcarving skills, and his own life also slowly moved closer to simplicity and purity.

Everything is calm and fulfilling.

If I had to say regrets, there are, that is, until now, Zhou Qin has not found a suitable partner, well, this is a small regret.

Carving generally starts in the morning and ends around four in the afternoon.

After work is over, Zhou Qin will go out for a walk. He has already visited all the small towns. He even turned the group portraits of the town into wood carvings.

Outside the town, there is a small pier.

In fact, it is not a pier, but some townspeople will go fishing in the wild river, and then sell it on this small pier, or sell it in the town, but it is usually the next day, and it is leftovers. of.

After seeing this small pier during a roaming in the countryside, Zhou Qin would often come here after work in the afternoon to buy some fish and shrimp to go back.

There are big fish, but they are generally not big. Half a catty is considered very big, and there are more fish, which are about one or two taels.

There are often small fish, as small as the size of a little finger, because it is purely wild, and the water and soil here may be quite good, the small fish is stewed with flour, and it is very fragrant.

There are also some fresh shrimps and loach, which Zhou Qin bought.

Loach, tofu, and loofah are Zhou Qin's favorite combinations. Even if his cooking skills can only be said to be average, the soup is fresh and fragrant. Can't live.

On this day, he did it by himself again. After eating delicious food and a full meal, Zhou Qin ate the food and read the books. There were professional books on wood carving and micro-carving, as well as general books on art and culture. After that, he went online again. After strolling around some frequently visited websites and forums, I fell asleep on time at ten o'clock.

After coming here, Zhou Qin slept soundly every night.

It seems that this piece of water and soil is especially suitable for him, and it seems that this piece of water and soil can support people. Every morning when he wakes up, Zhou Qin feels that he is full of energy, and his body and mind are extremely peaceful and full of passion.

I wake up naturally every day.

But there are almost no more than six o'clock, usually in the early five o'clock, and sometimes wake up after four o'clock.

On this day, when Zhou Qin woke up, it was still in the early five o'clock. Because of Xia Tian, ​​the sky was already bright, but when he came to the courtyard with hazy eyes, Zhou Qin was stunned.
