Monkey King in Marvel
Chapter 14 Mahogany and Wood Carving
"That house in front is it."
Sun Wukong looked in the direction pointed by the old man. No. 15 Crowley Street was a two-story single-family building.Such a coincidence, it turned out to be the residence of the person who sold all the peach wood from the old Bush lumber shop.
Along the way, he already knew that the old man's surname was Huang and his first name was Youwei.He has a son who is a policeman and works for the 101st branch of the New York Police Department. He married a white girl and has two sons.
The year before last, he and his wife came from Huaguo to visit their son. Unexpectedly, his wife died of illness not long after.Originally, he wanted to return to China, but his son was worried that he would stay in the country alone, so he stayed in the United States.
Both son and daughter-in-law have their own jobs, and they can only be at home at night, and the two grandsons are at a rebellious age, and they are not close to his grandfather at all, so he often stays alone home.
If you stay alone for a long time, you will inevitably think about a lot of things. In order to let yourself have something to do and not think wildly, you pick up the wood carving skills that have been left behind for many years.I sculpt some things every day when I have free time. At first, they were cats, cats, dogs, and small animals like the Chinese zodiac.
By the end of last year, the woodcarving techniques had returned to pure and even more exquisite, so I carved some more difficult and complicated things, such as carving a nine-story Linglong Pagoda with a piece of peach pit.
For this wood carving, he was just using it to pass the time, but later he found out that if the carved things were more delicate, some people seemed to buy them.The carved wood carvings can be sold to help the family, so I spent a little more thought.
Among all woodcarving handicrafts, peach charms carved out of peach wood are the most popular among buyers.
He went around to inquire about buying peach wood and came back, specializing in carving peach charms, such as Zhongkui peach charms, Yuncai boy peach charms, Guanyin peach charms, Pengzu peach charms, etc., or to ward off evil spirits, or to attract wealth, or to receive blessings, or to pray for longevity. A peach charm of good omen.
Gradually, the handicrafts he carved gained a certain reputation in Chinatown and the neighborhoods near Chinatown, and more and more people came to him to buy woodcarving handicrafts, and his income was endless, comparable to the son of a policeman. Let more.
By this time of year, he had saved $[-].Of course, being able to save so much money has a lot to do with his frugal nature.
He planned to save the one hundred thousand dollars for his grandson to go to college in the future.Because the cost of living and studying in the better private universities in the United States is very high, if you can’t get a full scholarship, ordinary families will be under a lot of pressure to support a college student.Especially for Uncle Huang's son, a family with no savings.
Although his son insisted on not wanting his money, instead he advised him to work hard all his life and now that he has money, he should eat better and dress better by himself, instead of staying at home all day doing woodcarving, but to take advantage of his legs and feet. He went to play around, but he has worked hard all his life, and he is used to this busy life, and there is no way to change it.
Entering the house, there is a dazzling array of wood carvings of all kinds, either finished or semi-finished, or just carved out some simple outlines.
"Did you carve these all by yourself?" Monkey King asked, pointing to one of the monkeys that was scratching its ears and scratching its cheeks.This monkey wood carving is so similar to some of his monkey soldiers in Huaguo Mountain.
"When people are old, they are useless. When they are idle and bored, they can only do these things that don't require much thought or effort." The old man's tone was a little light, and he was not proud of the fact that he carved so many and vivid wood carvings , "Just put me on the sofa over there."
After Sun Wukong put him down, he gently rubbed his sprained right ankle, then with the help of Sun Wukong, he brought the medicine box, wiped off the blood on his body, and applied medicine to the bruised and sprained parts.
After dealing with the injury, the old man also planned to call his family, but he looked for a cane next to him, supported himself and stood up: "My son bought this last year. I didn't expect it to be handed in so soon. Useful. You sit for a while, and I will make you a pot of tea. Oh, I forgot, you young people generally like to drink some more exciting drinks."
"You sit down, don't worry about it, your feet are not healed yet. If you want to drink tea, I can make it for you. For making tea, my skills may be much better than yours." Monkey King said to the so-called young people Like the stimulant of drinking, drinks like Coke are not interested.Because I tried a little bit before, but it just smothered my stomach, and it didn't do any good to the body.
So compared to those drinks, he prefers tea a little more.
In the past, he always liked to make friends. No matter what kind of god he was, he would go up and ask for a cup of tea when he met him. Old gods like the Antarctic fairy, the old man under the moon, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea are all good tea people.Over time, I have gained some experience in tasting and making tea.
Of course, those who can enter the eyes of the old gods are the best fairy teas, which cannot be found in the mortal world.
"It turns out that you are also proficient in tea ceremony. I didn't expect that you can calm down and study tea ceremony at such a young age." Although the time of contact with this young man is still very short, by listening to his words and watching his actions, the old man has a good understanding of Monkey King's calm style. Already very satisfied.Correspondingly, it is natural to believe what he said.
Under the guidance of the old man, Sun Wukong took out a set of tea sets for making tea, and then lightly brewed a pot of good tea that was full of fragrance and pleasing to the senses.
"By the way, I heard that you came to Crowley Street for business. I wonder if I can help you?" While tasting tea and discussing Taoism, the old man asked about Monkey King's visit to Crowley Street.
"Speaking of which, it's a bit of a coincidence." Sun Wukong explained the matter of buying peach trees.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen, which means that these peach trees are destined for you." The smile on the old man's face became more and more, he was worried about how to repay the young man in front of him, "Since you need these peach trees, Then just take it and put it here, and just carve some dead things like cats and dogs that don’t have much use.”
"You can't say that, let's just say a price, and I'll see how much I can buy." The old man's place has a lot of mahogany trees, worth at least a few thousand dollars, and Monkey King has limited money in his pocket, so he can only do what he can.
"What are you talking about? Is the friendship between you and me not worth such a piece of wood?" The old man was very dissatisfied with Monkey King's attitude. You, if you don’t talk about the one hundred thousand dollars, I’m afraid my life will be gone.”
"It's not easy for you to make some money, not to mention that you bought so many peach trees with money. I help you only because I want to help you, not for your peach trees. One thing is one thing, and it cannot be confused." Monkey King shook his head, Answered very seriously.
"In this way, take as much as you need, and give it later when you have money." The old man was unmoved when he saw Monkey King, knowing that this young man was very determined, and he decided that one thing would not be a foreign object. Changed, heart relieved at the same time could not help but sighed, had to change a different attitude.
"I don't need too much for the time being. I'll buy some and go back and try it out to see if it works." As for re-engraving the meridian disk with mahogany wood, although Sun Wukong thought it might be useful after a bold guess, he actually didn't think so. After all, he had never set up this magic circle before.Not even real, let alone fake.
After deciding on the peach wood, Monkey King suddenly remembered the meridian disk, and carving it out of peach wood required wood carving skills, and he knew nothing about wood carving.There happened to be a woodcarving master in front of him, so he proposed to learn woodcarving from the old man.
"I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just woodcarving. Have you ever heard the story of the oil seller? This craft is actually a handicraft. As long as you can calm down and spend more time, it is easy to do it." Get started." The old man said with a smile, "Are you in a hurry to leave? If you are not in a hurry, I can teach you some basic wood carving techniques now."
Sun Wukong looked at an old-fashioned wall clock hanging in the hall, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and he just had to go back before seven o'clock in the evening: "It's still early."
(Today’s two updates, please ask for some recommendation tickets. Wan Fang also knows that the book is still very thin, but there are hundreds of collections. Hundreds of collections, corresponding to the daily recommendation tickets, but only a few dozen or so votes, could it be that almost all of them have been collected? Are all my classmates waiting to get fat? But we have to know that if you want to make a book fat, it’s very difficult to make it fat without a fertilizer like a recommendation ticket!)
