"The Great Dyeing Workshop" is a domestic drama with profound thoughts, showing the social style of that era through delicate character portrayals. Among the many impressive figures, there is an inconspicuous character that impresses the author, that is, the senior shopkeeper of the Bohai Hotel.
The role of the shopkeeper Gao is not much in the whole drama, and there are only a dozen lines, and the shots are even more limited. However, it is such a seemingly marginal character who shows his wisdom and quality. His calmness, politeness, and insight into things when he appeared on the field made people impress him.
In the plot, although the shopkeeper Gao is just the shopkeeper of a hotel, his attitude towards guests and his insights into things show his deep connotation. In his dealings with Chen Shouting, he showed wisdom and open-mindedness, which made people empathize.
The main plot is that Sun Li jumped into the sea and was discovered by Chen Shouting, who called a rickshaw to send her to the Bohai Hotel for placement. Chen Shouting drew an ocean on the paper and gave it to the coachman as a fare, but the coachman said he didn't believe it. At this time, the high shopkeeper spoke:
"The shopkeeper Chen is reluctant to write, and drawing a circle is money. ”
"Why, don't you believe it? ”
"I can't get the money, I'll give it, really...
In just a few words, he helped Chen Shouting out of the siege, and took care of Chen Shouting's face, not saying that he was illiterate, but "unwilling to write", and "I will give it if I can't get money" shows absolute trust in Chen Shouting's reputation. If you were Chen Shouting, would you take a look at Shopkeeper Gao when you heard these two sentences?
The next day,Sun Li said goodbye, and also borrowed 20 oceans in the name of Chen Shouting at the high shopkeeper and left a letter, the high shopkeeper found Chen Shouting with the letter, Chen Shouting understood what happened, first instructed the high shopkeeper to settle the bill, and then asked the high shopkeeper:
"I let you take care of food and housing, but I didn't ask you to give her money. If I don't admit it, what do you say you should do? ”
Although Chen Shouting's question was just a joke, how to deal with it appropriately is still a test of people's adaptability. Seeing this, the author can't help but think about how to deal with it, but after reading the answer of the shopkeeper Gao, the shopkeeper is definitely a character.
The shopkeeper replied unhurriedly:
"I thought so at the time, but then I thought about it, if you don't admit it, I'll be able to thank twenty oceans at most. If I don't give it to that young lady, won't this ruin your reputation as a shopkeeper Chen? So, ah, I gave it. ”
Seeing this, I can't help but sigh, the high shopkeeper is not a loss is surnamed Gao, it is really high.
In "The Great Dyeing Workshop", although the role of the shopkeeper is inconspicuous, his image is unforgettable. This is the charm of the drama "The Great Dyeing Workshop", which not only focuses on the growth of the protagonist, but also shows the social situation of that era through every little person.
