Beichen doesn't know if he can get out of Chapter 3, but there is no great sage, so the Spring Festival Gala will not be seen. , Happiness and fortune!

There are many kinds of paving shops on the commercial street of Chujiazhai. Although it is not as formal as the county and city, the scale is not small, as if there is a big fair in the town.

On this commercial street, almost half of them are selling food, some selling pancakes, steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, fruits, rice dumplings, boiled corn, eggs, etc. , some you haven't even seen, but it's edible, and it's delicious.

So it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a snack street. After all, most of the street sells food.Later, as the number of tourists increased, some business-minded people started other businesses on this street leading to the mountain road.

For example, the woodcarving master in front of me, the aunt who is selling bunnies not far away, and the older brothers and uncles who are selling artificial amber, etc., because they are the only ones who sell this kind of thing, so almost formed a monopoly.

If you want to buy this thing, you have to go to them, because there is no other place for sale.

Especially the aunt who sells rabbits, it can be said that she is making a lot of money every day. Some young women see such a cute little animal, and their love is overflowing, and they want to buy one to keep them. The woman pestered her boyfriend and asked him to buy one for herself, otherwise she would not leave, and the aunt would watch happily from the side. At this time, the boyfriend would obediently take out his wallet because of face.

Chu Yunqiu nodded when he heard what the uncle said, and sat aside, "Master, you are busy with your work, I will watch from the side." Chu Yunqiu took the uncle's water glass, poured hot tea for the uncle, and opened it. With the convenience bag in his hand, take out the fruit inside, put it in the fruit plate beside him, and put it next to the old man.

At this time, the old man was busy with the carving in his hands, and he didn't notice Chu Yunqiu's movements at all. The old man didn't notice, but some customers on the opposite side saw Chu Yunqiu's movements, and couldn't help but secretly praised Chu Yunqiu in his heart. : "This child is really filial and knows how to love grandpa."

If Chu Yunqiu knew what everyone was thinking, I wonder if he would cry, "He is not my grandfather."

In front of the old man’s booth, there are basically young people, or some middle-aged people in fashionable clothes. The young people are mainly couples, while the middle-aged people are mainly families. They bring their children, Dress stylishly and have more room in your hands.

Chu Yunqiu sat beside him, watching the old man sculpting there.

After the old man finished carving the woman in his hand, he looked up at the man, then lowered his head again, the carving knife in his hand kept flying, and sawdust fell like snowflakes.

After a while, a slightly green side surface appeared on the wood.

Chu Yunqiu looked at the woodcarving in the hands of the old man. Although the woodcarving was not yet finished, it showed extraordinary skills.

The women in the wood carvings are no different from living people, no, it should be said that they are much more beautiful than living people. They look forward to each other, smile sweetly, the corners of their mouths are slightly curved, they have small noses, big eyes, and curved faces. Curved eyebrows, a cherry-like mouth, delicate cheeks, long hair draped over her shoulders, with a butterfly-shaped hairpin on her hair.

The women wear a long one-piece dress. The long skirt gives people a feeling of a breeze blowing, which is very vivid, and the high heels added are also very "realistically" sculpted by the old man.

Why do you say that the woodcarving is much more beautiful than me? Because there are no freckles on the woodcarving. Although the old man is real, he will not foolishly put the freckles on the customer's face, otherwise it will not be real, but stupid. .

Moreover, the height of women was artificially raised by the old man, which seemed to be very well-proportioned. Originally, the height of women reached the shoulders of men, and they seemed a bit short, but under the carving knife of the old man, women's heights were artificially pulled up to The male's forehead is of a very suitable height. For a kiss, the male can touch it by lowering his head slightly.

The most important thing is that the wood carving will not show the difference in skin. As far as this man and woman are concerned, the skin of the man is white, and the skin of the woman is slightly dark, but in the wood carving, it does not exist at all. What color is the wood? , what color are you.

The woman looked at herself in the wood carving, with a sweet smile on her face, she seemed to be very happy, she looked at the old man with a different look, and seemed to say: "Master, you still understand my heart".

Chu Yunqiu paid attention to the old man's technique. Fortunately, he had practiced "Zhenwu Xuanjing", Chu Yunqiu felt that his mind was very clear, and the old man's technique seemed to slow down in his eyes, flashing in his mind step by step .

Chu Yunqiu just started to learn, so he just watched and didn't talk. When he saw something similar, he practiced it by himself, and then asked the old man for advice without knowing it. After he practiced to a certain level, Chu Yunqiu started to innovate. Forge your own path and incorporate your own ideas and New Age elements into your sculptures.
But this step is still too far away for him. A tall building begins with a foundation. What he has to do now is to lay a good foundation.

The old man's wrists fluttered up and down, and after a while, a man appeared on the wood carving. The two held hands and looked at each other with affection in their eyes.

When the last knife fell, the old man put the carving knife on the table, then took out something like sandpaper, wiped off the burrs on the edges, and then put the wood carving on the table.

"Old man, you drink water." Chu Yunqiu hurriedly put the water cup in front of the old man. He wanted to learn from his master, but he had to show his sincerity.

"Grandpa, your grandson is so filial. He brings you tea and water," a middle-aged man said to the old man.

The old man took a look at Chu Yunqiu and smiled, "You are wrong, I am not related to him, not because of him."

"It's not because of your relatives? No way", not only the middle-aged men don't believe it, but also the people around you don't believe that they will treat you so well without relatives or reasons.

The couple picked up the wood carving on the table and looked at it carefully. They were very happy. They liked it very much. The man also took out his wallet very readily and took out money from it.

The old man smiled at the money handed over by the other party, without explaining too much.

For Chu Yunqiu, he has great expectations. He hopes that the other party can inherit his mantle, and more importantly, he does not want his craft to be lost, so that this craft will never be seen again.

Although in his grandfather's time, he was adhering to the old idea of ​​"inheriting males and not females", but now it is different. He does not want to bring this craft into the coffin after he dies of old age. He hopes that future generations can carry forward the family craft , but it is a pity that none of his three children have any ambitions here. One likes to do business, and follows others into business before he is full. Although he has a small fortune, he doesn't bother with his little craftsmanship.Not to mention the second son, he is a famous college student and has been admitted to the civil service. Even if the other party wants to learn, he won't hand it in. He doesn't want to ruin his son's future.

Not to mention the youngest daughter, who was spoiled by her parents and two elder brothers since she was a child, and she is beautiful and eloquent. She is married to a college classmate, let alone learning her own craft. I couldn't be happier.

I thought decades of craftsmanship would be so useless, but I didn't expect God to give me a chance to show off my talents.I thought that the craftsmanship of my ancestors would be lost, but I didn't expect to meet Chu Yunqiu, a young man who has a strong interest in Chinese sculpture art, and more importantly, he respects me very much.

He doesn't have any views on the family. As for the woodcarving craftsmanship that has been passed down for hundreds of years, he would rather pass it on to someone with a foreign surname than cut off and lose the craftsmanship of his ancestors!
Therefore, the other party, Chu Yunqiu, the old man did not cherish himself, and even spoke ill of Chu Yunqiu.

Chu Yunqiu really likes carving. To be precise, he likes to create by himself. Seeing the rotten wood turning waste into treasure in his hands, he is very excited and proud. This is an indescribable feeling!
