The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

When the female makeup artist heard that it was so valuable, she screamed inwardly.

"You idiot, you idiot, what kind of wrench do you want? What kind of engine do you want? Isn't engraving more promising?"

Director He nodded seriously when he heard Li Yuan's words.

"Li Yuan, you are a good comrade. Our country is currently lacking people like you who are down-to-earth in design.

Art is important, but national development is more important.

It’s incredible that you have such an idea, please keep working hard.”

Director He studied history. Even though he is a government employee, some of his ideas are more like those of an engineering student.

In his mind, all those engaged in art are food worms, and only those engaged in industry are contributors to the country.

He sneered at the talk of spiritual nourishment.

So he was very pleased to hear that the young comrade in front of him did not lose his way despite the temptation of US dollars.

He has already memorized the name Li Yuan deeply, and will definitely get to know it better when he returns.

He looked at Li Yuan's face and frowned. He hated makeup, especially men's makeup.

"It's somewhat feminine. Of course I'm not discriminating against women. I just think men should be more sunny."

Since Director He said this, the female makeup artist only dared to complain in her heart and did not dare to object again.

Li Yuan smiled, went to the basin, and used soap to wash off all the makeup on his face.

When he stood up, Director He's eyes immediately lit up with his sunny and handsome face.

I thought this is what a man should look like.

"Well, that's good. We are all working class, so it's better to be simple."

After speaking, he nodded to everyone, turned around and left.

Li Yuan asked the staff, came to the cubicle, and changed into his performance clothes.

It's still the same style as last year, a white robe, but with a dragon embroidered on the chest.

The material also appears thicker and more three-dimensional.

Li Yuan put on his robe and stood there, looking handsome and elegant.

The staff nodded secretly. Compared with the makeup before, Li Yuan looked even more handsome without makeup.

When it was time to appear, Li Yuan came to the small stage in a simple and elegant outfit and sat down in front of the workbench.

Today's workbench is only over 60 centimeters high. It was probably designed by a special person. Except for the words "Canton Fair" on the front, it looks stable and majestic overall.

Li Yuan was busy with the movements in his hands and did not look back at the piano girl behind him.

He had a hunch that today would not go well. He didn't know what the little girl would play later.

He didn't know if he could find that rhythm and charm.

In his superficial understanding, only classical musical instruments can trigger his inspiration.

At this time, the staff came to him.

"Master Li, how many carvings can you make in a day?"

"One and a half at most, these patterns are too complicated."

"Okay, it doesn't matter, don't worry, the key is performance and presentation."

"Understood," Li Yuan knew as soon as the other party said it, it was a hint that he should not carve too much, and wanted to achieve the effect of making things more valuable when they are scarce.

With his current ability, he can carve one of each of the three types of wood carvings a day without any problem.

Originally, he thought of slowing down to avoid being too tired.

Since the organizing committee thinks so, they can carve one in one day.

The girl behind him has been secretly sizing up Li Yuan. At first, he just thought he was a bit handsome, but now he looks radiant.

Looking from the back, she thought of her mentor and her senior brothers, all of whom were talented, handsome and unrestrained.

From time to time, a Cockney accent would pop out of their mouths, which made her feel the pulse of the times.

She thought of Dachang, the boss of Magic City.

The sorbet, curry beef dumplings, Napoleon, Bessige, butter and puffs on the first floor are her favorites.

And Hadou, the hard-shell chocolate outer layer, I still miss it all the time.

She missed the magic city, she wanted to take the boy in front of her back to the magic city.

In the future, this boy will definitely be able to take her to Xiangjiang, America, Yidali, and many, many places.

She wants to tightly grasp the throat of fate and control her own destiny.

Thinking of this, she used her hands hard, the piano roared, and the "Symphony of Destiny" poured out.

In her eyes, the boy was shocked. His body was shaking just now.

Back in time when Li Yuan sat down, he could feel the eyes of the girl behind him.

From the change in her attitude before and after, he knew that this was a girl who advocated Western freedom.

When you have no money, be arrogant; when you know you have money, be enthusiastic.

He didn't bother to answer, and arranged the carving knives neatly one by one from his bag.

Spread a piece of rough canvas over the knees and cover it with a piece of cowhide.

Put on the white sleeves, take out a suitable piece of sandalwood from under the workbench, and carefully examine the grain.

Soon, the wood was modeled in my mind, and I began to conceive of the angle of the knife according to the model of the flying dragon in the sky.

When the customer came in, he picked up a straight knife and began to prepare the blank.

Just as he was about to drop the knife, the sound of the piano "thump thump thump thump, thump thump thump thump" entered his ears.

Destiny was caught in an instant, and the carving knife suddenly stopped his hand, and "stab", a deep scratch appeared on the sandalwood.

He knew that the work he had just done was in vain.

As a last resort, I picked up the wood again and began to observe and think about how to remedy it.

But the little brother of fate is always held tightly, flying like a petrel in the stormy wind and waves.

He seemed to see a little black man reciting:

On the vast sea, a gust of wind gathers dark clouds.

Between the dark clouds and the sea, petrels are flying proudly like black lightning.

. . . . . .

Liangyuan couldn't help but shout in his heart: Haiyan! You can have some fun!

Li Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Suddenly I realized that there were some guests standing in front of the small stage watching.

I mumbled something in my heart, and had to force my hearing to turn off.

start working.

Next, a very awkward performance appeared on the stage.

A girl is tinkering with her destiny intoxicatedly, leaning forward and backward, very involved.

The boy in front lowered his head and was carving to himself.

No matter how the piano beats, Li Yuan is carving according to a rhythm.

This made the guests who had attended the Canton Fair last time frown, and finally turned around and left.

The staff who observed the reactions of the guests around the small stage saw something was wrong and quickly ran to find the leader.

Director He hurried over, observed for a while, and whispered a few words to the staff.

The staff member nodded and walked to the piano, waiting for the fate to come to an end.

When the song ended, there was sparse applause from the surrounding area, and the little girl stood up and returned the greeting.

At this time, the staff hurriedly walked up and whispered a few words to the little girl.

The girl who had just mastered her destiny frowned slightly when she heard the request, but saw Director He's serious expression.

The little girl immediately let go of the little wings of fate and agreed softly.

Next, she chose a soothing track called "Fur Elise."

She hoped to give this piano music to the boy in front of her, and a melodious and melodious piano sound slowly rippled out.

She stared at the boy's back, expecting him to look back at her.

It's a pity that now Li Yuan keeps his head down and can't hear her melody at all.

Director He observed for a while, shook his head helplessly, and whispered a few words to the staff again.

The staff member whispered a few words to other staff members and hurriedly left the venue.
