Chapter 1, Again
The 20s was an era of economic boom.
Especially in the south, visitors from Hong Kong and Taiwan and migrant workers are shoulder to shoulder. It feels like there are people and money everywhere. People and money are like crazy.
Mad people tire easily.
In addition to sleep, massage has naturally become the most popular way to relieve fatigue.
Pengcheng, a special economic zone adjacent to the port city, has many factories and foot massage shops.
'Big Foot' is the largest of the many foot massage shops, with three floors.
The front section of the first floor is the front desk and lobby, the middle section is the hairdressing department (under the stairs), and the back section is the waiting room and bathroom.
The second floor is the foot massage hall, which is furnished with dozens of single-person sofa chairs with reclining backs. The west and south walls are lined with large windows, making the foot massage hall very bright and clean.
The third floor has 9 massage rooms, 4 large foot massage rooms and a training room.
It costs 40 yuan per hour, and the technician and the boss split the profit % to %.
Working 12 hours a day, even if you work non-stop, you only get about yuan.
Tips are an important source of income for technicians. Whether or not a technician can receive tips depends on his or her skills.
Of course, some people also look at appearance.
Jiang Yu is a "Big Foot" technician, a technician who was called up right after his shift was scheduled.
She is 173cm tall, with an oval face, a straight and pretty nose, willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of sparkling eyes, and Wang Zuxian's standard lips.
Not stunningly beautiful, but pure and moving.
She was not called in because of her appearance. After she passed the assessment after two days of study, she asked to wear a mask and glasses to work, and the boss agreed.
The reason why I was called was because a regular customer of Big Foot - the truck driver saw the new number on the clock board.
Drivers are one of the consumer groups of foot massage shops and are also one of the groups that give tips.
Truck drivers often hold the steering wheel, their muscles are very stiff, and pressing them is like pressing a wall.
Many technicians are afraid of them.
They also know this, so they disperse to various foot massage shops.
The one who is stationed at 'Big Foot', his surname is Jin, and he is used to ordering two technicians for a threesome.
Lao Jin also has a habit. Whenever a new technician comes to Big Foot, he will order one.
At this moment, Jiang Yu was in the foot massage bag, and the one having a threesome with her was No. 32.
The sofas in the private rooms are reclining, so guests need to turn around and sit on the footstool to get massages on their heads, shoulders, necks and backs.
Lao Jin is a customer that Jiang Yu must win over. As long as she wins Lao Jin over, she will become famous and make money quickly.
It is popular to have mistresses here. Many technicians who are proud of their good looks are kept as mistresses, but being a mistress does not end well.
Lao Jin asked No. 32 and Jiang Yu to skip the head and press the shoulders and neck directly.
Jiang Yu said sorry to No. 32 in his heart and put in a lot of effort.
Lao Jin was delighted and waved to No. 32, "No. 32, don't press it. Let 110 press it alone."
110 is Jiang Yu's number in "Big Foot", which she chose specially.
The boss and technicians all knew about her great strength and big appetite, and the boss even added meal expenses for three more people in the canteen.
All recruits for "Big Foot" are retrained and all use the store's techniques, which are quite different from the Jiang family's tendon-regulating techniques.
The art of tendon regulation is characterized by lightness and softness. If one wants to learn this art, one must become an apprentice and adopt the method of oral transmission and mental instruction. Therefore, there are not many people who can truly master all of its routines and mental methods.
Grandpa Jiang is one of the few.
But Grandpa Jiang only taught Jiang Yu the routine techniques, not the mentality.
After Jiang's ancestor was falsely accused of learning the art of tendon regulation and was driven out of the capital, he vowed to pass on the art and not use it, in order to avoid bringing disaster upon himself.
Jiang Yu was born strong and had a bad temper. She would fight whenever she disagreed with someone. Grandpa Jiang didn't dare to teach her the secret method. The family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. Jiang Yu got angry and opened the pot, and then she entered this colorful world.
When she first came here, she saw food on a roadside stall and just took it and ate it. The stall owner caught her and wanted to call the police. It was Sister Xiu who paid for her and took her to the cafeteria to eat. That meal "amazed" everyone.
Sister Xiu took her back to her residence, taught her how to use the water heater, changed her clothes and hairstyle, and told her about the world.
She was fascinated and envious of what she heard. She wanted to earn money with Sister Xiu to buy medicine and food for her grandfather and brother.
Sister Xiu took her into "Big Foot".
If you want truck drivers to give you tips willingly, it takes more than just great strength.
She couldn't achieve the lightness, softness, penetration and dexterity of the tendon-regulating technique, but she could add some skills to the regular techniques of 'Big Foot'.
To supplement and drain is a technique that is very easy to integrate.
Supplement the light and drain the heavy.
The ups and downs of the pressing method brought Lao Jin a refreshing feeling.
In addition, Jiang Yu's strength, which was three points greater than that of a force that could penetrate into wood, was directly poured into the deep of Lao Jin's muscles.
Lao Jin grimaced, feeling pain, soreness and swelling.
Cool!
The indescribable comfort made Lao Jin unable to stop. He waved his hand and said, "110, do it again."
Jiang Yu started massaging him from the beginning.
Lao Jin closed his eyes comfortably, letting Jiang Yu's slender fingers slide from the Yingxiang points on both sides of his nose to the Zanzhu points on his eyebrows, the Yuyao points and the temples...
After massaging his back, Lao Jin took the initiative to sit back on the sofa and put his feet on the footstool.
Pushing open the wooden foot massage basin, pulling out the small stool under the footstool and sitting down, Jiang Yu scraped a piece of massage cream from the massage cream box, rubbed it into a paste and applied it on Lao Jin's calves.
Rub and pat at the same time.
Under the strong vibration, Lao Jin's calf muscles, which were as hard as a wall, relaxed a little.
Jiang Yu quickly pressed the Yin Valley point on the inside of Lao Jin's left leg.
From the Yin Valley point down to the Fuliu point, Jiang Yu's fingers directly pressed and scraped down...
Jiang Yu continued to exert great effort on the reflex area of the sole of the foot. As long as Lao Jin didn't cry out in pain, she would give it her all.
Lao Jin grimaced in pain, but he didn't cry out in pain...
Taking two hot towels from the disinfection cabinet in the hallway, Jiang Yu wiped the massage cream off Lao Jin's legs. She looked up at the clock on the wall.
"Sir, the foot massage is over in exactly two hours."
Lao Jin waved his hand and said, "Go get a massage."
Jiang Yu wanted to tidy up the foot massage room first, but Lao Jin disagreed, "No. 32, if you tidy up the room and then leave, it will count as your two foot massage hours."
As he said this, he picked up the bag and was the first to walk out of the foot massage room.
Jiang Yu said "thank you" to No. 32, left the private room and took a hot towel from the disinfection cabinet to wipe her hands.
For full body massage, you still have to start from the head.
There are twelve meridians on each side, and each one is pressed vigorously.
Shaking arms, rubbing palms, adjusting fingers, pulling arms, and stretching muscles, all done meticulously.
Through the big towel, Jiang Yu secretly used the muscle-regulating technique, and Jiang Yu pushed the blood and tendons throughout Lao Jin's body, making him feel extremely comfortable.
The three steps to end the massage: straight folding and pressing, cross folding and pressing, and stepping on the waist.
The straight folding press is to press the customer's instep as far as possible to the buttocks.
The cross-fold press is to press the heel of the crossed foot underneath to the buttocks.
Stepping on the waist means putting one foot on the client's lower back with the heel on the client's Yaoyangguan acupoint. Grab the client's two ankles and lift them up. When you hear a slight "click" sound, stepping on the waist is correct and the massage is over.
The article originally stated that it was the end of the century and the spring of 1998. After many revisions, this statement should have been changed.
A reader asked about this, and I wanted to add something later, but there was no place to add it, so I'll explain it here.
