Old Cobbler Repair Shoes Shop To Shoes "See A Doctor" Need To Register Branch.

"This store is really weird.

"Master, would you please have a look?"

"Not too sick," internal medicine, surgery, Department of Dermatology...

There's something wrong with it. "

Don't think this is a dialogue between the patient and the doctor in the hospital.

Such a dialogue often occurs in a leather repair shop in the three village of Jiulongpo District.

This is "not too sick" is not a person, but a pair of leather shoes.

Zhang Shangyong, a 39 year old shop owner, has been looking at shoes for 3 years like this.

The shop sign of Zhang master shop has 5 branches to repair leather shoes.

"They've put all my stores on the Internet."

Master Zhang looked at the video playing on the computer and showed a pleasant surprise.

This is more than half a month ago, several network "patron" in Zhang master shop in DV.

More than 5 minutes of video recording Zhang master to leather shoes to see the "disease" of the general steps.

Master Zhang's shop area is not large. In less than 10 square meters of room, there is a shoe rack with a height of more than 2 meters, which is full of fifty or sixty pairs of shoes.

In addition to the shop name on the signboard of the shop, Zhang also classified them into five departments, including surgery, Department of orthopedics, internal medicine, facial features, Department of Dermatology and so on, according to various procedures of leather shoes refurbishment.

The price list of each department is attached to the store. The price of the above items is almost the same as that of other leather repair shops.

When a customer comes to repair with his leather shoes, let his wife Peng Huiming take a look first.

The shoes were first registered and divided into 5 departments.

Master Zhang treats the leather shoes in the shop.

Master Zhang and his wife Peng Huiming are both from Hechuan. When they were 17 years old, Zhang came to Chongqing to work on construction sites.

Later, when he was chatting with a shoemaker on the roadside, he found that the shoe repair business was not bad.

So, he taught a shoemaker as a teacher and studied shoes for more than two months.

Then he came to the shop near the shop and set up a roadside stall for repairing shoes.

"In the first few years, business has been bad."

Mr. Zhang said that, in the first few years, his monthly income could only maintain the basic life of a family, but he persisted.

Later, the business of Zhang Shifu shoe stall was gradually improving.

In 2007, he rented a place near the shop and set up a 7 square meter repair shoe shed.

A year later, Zhang suddenly fired an idea to see "sickness" for his shoes.

"Leather shoes are mostly animal skins. Animals and people need to see a doctor. Why can't they see shoes?" {page_break}

At the end of 2008, Master Zhang made the billboard which was hanging at the door of the shop, and placed it in the most striking position of the shoe stand.

"A lot of customers feel strange and attractive."

Business is getting better and better. Master Zhang is really busy. His wife Peng Huiming resigned from the factory to help him.

At the end of 2009, Master Zhang rented the shop and moved the shoe stall here.

Master Zhang is a straightforward person. He said that he had to renovate thirty or forty pairs of shoes every day.

When the reporter asked him about his monthly income, Master Zhang smiled, conservatively, at least 6000 yuan.

Give shoes "see a doctor", creativity brings business.

"My family will have a real doctor right away."

Master Zhang smiles and says that his daughter has just been admitted to Medical University Of Chongqing this year. He hopes his daughter will become a doctor in the future.

"In this way, I see" sickness "for my shoes, and it is very interesting for my daughter to see a doctor.

Master Zhang laughed more happily.

Master Zhang's biggest regret is that he never received a good apprentice.

"Young people are not willing to come to mend shoes."

Master Zhang shook his head and said there were also some people who came to worship their teachers, but most of them were middle-aged. They were all declined by Zhang Shifu. "These months, there are no wages and tuition fees, and they have to pay five thousand yuan for them. It is not easy for them to support a family."

Therefore, Master Zhang always wanted to receive a younger apprentice, but after several times, they left school in less than a month.

"They all say that learning to repair shoes is easy to be looked down upon by others, and can not find a girlfriend."

Master Zhang said that if there are young people willing to learn this craft, he is willing to teach his skills over the past 20 years to him.

Zhang said, first of all, to choose a suitable shoe leather texture of shoe polish, the price of general shoe polish is about 20 yuan to 30 yuan.

Before the oil is added, thoroughly clean the shoes once.

Then add the oil evenly and heat the shoes to the right temperature.

"So shoe polish can be absorbed by leather shoes and play the role of protecting leather shoes."

"This glue will corrode the leather material."
