    Chronicles of Qingshi Street: The Cognition of Silversmiths, Embroiderers and Spice Shops The bluestones on Qingshi Street are always stained with morning dew, like expectations that have never been broken in the eyes of the world. The old silversmith Mr. Zhou on the east end of the street only has a faded wooden sign on the lintel of his shop with the word "Zhou Ji" written on it. It is a bit more deserted than the "Jinxiu Pavilion" of embroiderer Liu Auntie on the west end of the street - Auntie Liu's shop always has brand new ones. The embroidery includes peacocks in full bloom and mandarin ducks playing in the water. Women passing by will stop and Aunt Liu will greet her with a smile: "Look at this thread, it is brocade thread from Suzhou and Hangzhou. It is embroidered into a handkerchief and given to my husband. I guarantee he will wear it every day." One time I went back to town to hold a birthday party for a big family, and I wanted to order a hundred yuan handkerchief embroidered with "Songs and Cranes Prolong the Year" as a souvenir. Aunt Liu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she changed the embroidery pattern overnight, adding three layers of gold thread to the crane's feathers, and promised to deliver the goods three days faster than others. She thought: "The order is done, and all the work for big families will have to come to me from now on." Aunt Liu didn't even sleep enough in those days, and her fingers were pricked with small holes. But the day before delivery, the gold thread was not enough. In order to reduce costs, she only bought 80% of the goods, thinking that she could save a little, but unexpectedly, the color of the gold thread was lighter than expected, and the repurchase could not catch up. When Zhang Dahu saw the half-finished product, his face became as dark as a rainy day, and he turned around and ordered embroidery from a neighboring town. Aunt Liu looked at the table full of unfinished embroidered handkerchiefs, and her tears fell on the embroidery fabric: "I thought that if I calculated the abacus more carefully, I would be able to succeed, but I didn't know..." Chen Er, a salesman in the middle of the street, always likes to follow the trend. In the spring, I saw that the peach blossom cake seller had made money, so I immediately stocked up ten kilograms of peach blossom petals. As a result, the weather was so hot that the petals were all rotten. In the autumn, I heard that the neighboring county was short of umbrellas, so I brought another cart of oil-paper umbrellas. However, there was no rain that month, and the handles were moldy. Someone advised him: "Don't always focus on how much others earn, think about how much loss you can bear." But Chen Er didn't care: "What are you afraid of? You can always win the bet!" Later, a "stock lottery" seller came from Qingshi Street, saying that if you win the "up" lottery, you can double the amount of food you buy. Chen Er took half a year's savings and went to smoke. Three times in a row, the results were "falling". In the end, he ran out of food and his savings were all gone. He squatted on the street corner and cried: "Why can others make money, but I can't?" Old man Zhou passed by and handed him a bowl of hot tea: "Look at me making silver bracelets, I never make more than one - I prepare as many ingredients as the customer orders. I never think about 'maybe I can sell a few more bracelets,' nor wonder 'whether the customer will change his mind.' You, you always want to become fat in one bite, but you have never calculated that fat people have to take it one step at a time." Old man Zhou's shop never purchases much silver. When a customer comes to order a bracelet, he will ask about the size and style, and then calculate the amount of silver. He will not buy any more. One time, Aunt Li, a regular customer, came to pick up the bracelet and said that her daughter suddenly wanted to make the ring smaller. Others advised Old Man Zhou: "You have to add more money, otherwise you will lose money." But Old Man Zhou said with a smile: "Just change it, it's a big deal." Aunt Li felt sorry for it, and later introduced her relatives and friends. Someone asked Old Man Zhou: "Aren't you afraid that others will take advantage of you?" He pointed to the word "Shou Zhuo" on the wall of the shop: "To be suspicious of others is actually because you don't believe in yourself - you don't believe that your craftsmanship can retain people, so you have to rely on calculations to guard against it. I just tie the bracelet well, and the rest will come naturally to those who are willing. This is not fate, but people's hearts change people's hearts." The most special thing on the west end of the street is the proprietress Su of the spice shop. Her shop never hangs a disguise, and the door curtain is made of plain cotton and linen, but no one who goes in comes out empty-handed. One time, Aunt Liu's embroidery was infested with insects, and she was so anxious that Mrs. Su gave her a small packet of "insect-repelling incense" and said, "It'll be good if you smoke it for three days. It's free." Aunt Liu felt sorry for herself, and later helped Mrs. Su embroider a new door curtain. Some people say that Mrs. Su is stupid, but Mrs. Su laughs: "I sell spices. What I sell is not the fragrance, but the people's hearts - knowing who needs what is more important than calculating how much to make." Last summer, Qingshi Street was hit by heavy rains, and the street was flooded. Aunt Liu's embroidery was soaked in water, and Chen Er's cargo boxes disappeared. Only Old Man Zhou's shop was fine - he had already placed the silver on the wooden shelf on the second floor and prepared sandbags to block the door; Boss Su opened the door of the shop to let the neighbors in to take shelter from the rain, and made ginger tea to ward off the cold. After the rain stopped, Aunt Liu looked at the soaked embroidery and suddenly understood: "I always wanted to seize all the benefits in my hands, but I didn't calculate that there would be unforeseen circumstances. This is because all the calculations will always come up empty." Chen Er also blushed: "I always thought I could win by taking a gamble, but it turns out that I didn't even calculate that 'rain will flood the streets'. I am not a gambler, I am just a fool." Boss Su's wife spoke at this time: "Look at the cat in the corner, it never jumps too high to reach the pigeons, but it can always catch the mice nearby - this is not because it is incompetent, but because it knows how to 'don't have high expectations'. In my shop, I never stock too much goods. , I don't compete with others for business, this is called 'reducing my coquettishness' – I don't show off enough to make people stare, so I won't be taken advantage of; but I know who needs what, and I can help the neighbors out, this is called 'living like a monster' – only by understanding human nature can I control the situation." Old man Zhou also nodded: "I have been playing silverware for forty years, and I have come to realize this: high-ranking people are not good at calculations, but understand human nature. Just like Chen Er, when you buy grain, you only look at what others say will "go up", but don't look at whether the sky will be dry or whether the land will be flooded. This is a cognitive stop at 1.0; Those who can really do things must understand Strategies - for example, I prepare sandbags to prevent heavy rains; know tactics - for example, Boss Su gives Aunt Liu insect repellent incense to build a good relationship; and more importantly, know discipline - I never buy too much money, just because I am not greedy. Finally, I have to "combine knowledge with action". When I know that a rainstorm is coming, I really prepare sandbags instead of just talking about it. " Later, Qingshi Street gradually became lively again. Aunt Liu changed her temper and stopped being greedy. She only took jobs that she could complete, and the shop became more prosperous than before. Chen Er found Old Man Zhou as an apprentice, learned how to beat silverware, and gradually understood the word "discipline." Boss Su's spice shop still had a plain curtain, but it became the "reassurance" of Qingshi Street-anyone who had troubles at home was willing to talk to her. Someone asked Mrs. Su: "Are you considered a 'big queen' now?" Mrs. Su smiled and pointed to the street: "There is no such thing as a queen. She just understands 'not to be a prisoner' - not trapped in the circle of 'how much you must earn', and does not worry about 'will others harm me?'" In doubt, I was naturally relieved. Look at the bluestone, which has been stepped on for hundreds of years. It is not that it is hard, but that it knows not to have expectations - it does not expect others to step on it lightly, and it does not complain about the pain of being stepped on. It just lays there safely, and it has become the root of Qingshi Street. " Yes, people in the world always like to talk about expectations and hide calculations in their hearts, but they forget: too much expectations are like sand that is held too tightly in the hand, and it leaks faster; too many calculations are like a rope that is wrapped too tightly around the feet, and the walking becomes slower. Only by letting go of excessive expectations, putting away the flamboyant "show", and living a transparent "demon" - understanding human nature, observing discipline, and integrating knowledge and action can we not be a prisoner of fate, but become the helmsman of life. Just like Old Man Zhou's silver bracelet, which has no fancy patterns, but can be worn for a lifetime; Boss Su's spices, which have no flamboyant fragrance, can warm people's hearts - this is the real "high cognition": don't gamble with life, just talk to yourself.
