Chapter 1073

Yu Zhouzhou looked at the three cellos standing quietly on the display stand,

her eyes clearly showing some hesitation,

because just from their appearance,

one could clearly see some flaws of domestic cellos,

uneven glaze, imperfect curves, and other defects; for a cello, these are fatal flaws that easily lead to incorrect tone.

Compared to high-quality imported models, there is still a huge difference,

so Yu Zhouzhou was still somewhat hesitant.

At this moment,

Zhu Yun, standing beside Yu Zhouzhou, reached out and pulled Yu Zhouzhou, then said in a low voice: "Zhouzhou, how about we look at imported ones instead? Even I, an outsider, can spot some faults in these instruments; you can imagine, the quality must be terrible."

"Zhouzhou, I still have tens of thousands of yuan here; I can lend it to you. If the money isn't enough, we can actually ask Qin Feng Gang for help."

Hearing this, Yu Zhouzhou smiled, then looked at Zhu Yun and said: "Zhu Yun, I don't want to ask Qin Feng Gang for help. Although I know this money means nothing to him, I still want to rely on myself."

"I also don't want to borrow your money, because in the short term, I probably won't be able to pay you back. So, just let me think of a way on my own for now; I'll try the tone of these domestic instruments first."

After Yu Zhouzhou finished speaking, she turned and asked the female shop owner: "Hello, boss, may I try these instruments?"

"Sure."

The female shop owner agreed very readily.

Seeing the female shop owner nod in agreement,

Yu Zhouzhou took an instrument from the display stand, adjusted the tightness of the strings, then drew the bow across the strings,

then,

the female shop owner's eyebrows immediately knitted tightly,

Yu Zhouzhou herself found it somewhat unacceptable,

and Zhu Yun was left speechless, able only to look at Yu Zhouzhou.

After casually drawing the bow a couple of times,

Yu Zhouzhou knew this instrument was beyond saving,

so she forced a helpless smile and, with Zhu Yun's help, placed the instrument back on the display stand,

then,

Yu Zhouzhou took down the cello in the middle of the display stand again,

at this moment,

the female shop owner had completely given up hope,

because she knew

that all three instruments on the display stand were made by the same person.

If one couldn't be used, then the other two couldn't be any better.

Thinking of her classmate who had switched careers to make instruments,

the female shop owner shook her head wordlessly.

Damn it, if he can't play the cello well, that's one thing, but making instruments this badly? How does he have the nerve to ask me to display them outside the school gate?

He really isn't afraid of being discovered by teachers and other students. Sigh...

While the female shop owner was cursing inwardly,

Yu Zhouzhou still drew the bow across the second instrument,

but this time,

the tone quality was obviously better,

which made Yu Zhouzhou's eyes light up.

The female shop owner listened carefully to the tone and felt somewhat surprised.

Instruments made by the same person; how can some really be good and others bad?

This instrument is clearly much better than the previous one, and it's not inferior compared to international brands.

The outstanding performance of the second instrument

gave both Yu Zhouzhou and the female shop owner great confidence.

When she saw Yu Zhouzhou take down the third cello from the display stand,

a hint of expectation appeared in the female shop owner's eyes.

According to the female shop owner's own classmate,

this instrument was the one he had worked on the longest and considered his best work.

If his instrument-making career could break through its niche and gradually grow, it would surely begin with this instrument.

So,

the female shop owner adjusted her breathing slightly, then waited quietly.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhouzhou drew the bow across the strings once again,

"Screech—"

the sound was like a steel saw dragging across a porcelain bowl;

that sound was as unpleasant as could be, simply ear-piercing!

The female shop owner's eyebrows immediately knitted tightly, then she let out a long, speechless sigh.

Damn it, the instrument he worked on the longest turned out to be the worst one.

With this, he still wants to expand and grow big? Your sister, just go dream on!
