The two cages and three large bags were wiped out cleanly.

After burping and taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Xia Changjiang opened his mouth and said, "Xiaojie, I have already conceived of that folding crossbow, and I am going to start making it today." ”

"Grandpa, why don't you rest and rest today, and combine work and rest. ”

Xia Jie said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Hehe, I do this job, it's the best rest. ”

Xia Changjiang said happily.

"Okay, then I'll record a video for you. ”

Xia Jie said, summoned the drone, and continued to start the whole recording mode.

Of course, he was not idle, the abalone in the kitchen had been soaked overnight to collect the juice, and the soup stock had been boiled.

So Xia Jie is going to go to the vegetable market to take a turn and buy some fresh Chinese cabbage or something, but he can't just eat abalone and boiling water cabbage at noon.

Before the person reached the vegetable field, he heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Master, Master!"

Xia Jie turned his head to look, only to see Dayong running over panting, and couldn't help laughing: "Dayong, what's wrong." ”

"Master, I'm taking a job and want to discuss it with you. ”

Dayong ran in front of him, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Oh, what's the job?"

Xia Jie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.

"The last time there was a cultural exhibition in the city, didn't my carving be bought, and the buyer called me yesterday and said that he wanted me to carve a few more things. ”

Zhu Dayong said excitedly.

"Hehe, it's a good thing, someone is looking for you to make a private order, Dayong, it seems that your root carving skills have been able to come out. ”

Xia Jie patted Zhu Dayong's shoulder and said.

It is also very gratifying to see that this former bastard has now become a root carver with a small achievement.

"Hehe, Master, it's not because you taught me well. ”

Zhu Dayong rubbed his bald head and said happily.

"Okay, tell me, what do people ask you to carve?"

Xia Jie asked.

"He said let me carve a few things with auspicious meanings, and I was a little at a loss. ”

When it came to business, Zhou Dayong frowned and said.

"Hehe, Dayong, engaging in root carving is not simply talented, beautiful, but also a little culture, it's okay, it's okay, just a little more heritage. ”

In this way, you can make your work reach a certain artistic conception and even give it a soul. ”

Xia Jie said earnestly.

"Yes, yes, Master, what you said is true, but I'm a little big, and I can only look at the books you gave me on root carving skills, which is better. ”

Zhu Dayong said honestly.

"You guy, tell me, what do you think those things have auspicious meanings?"

Xia Jie pointed at Dayong and said with a smile.

"This ...... Master, I ...... Am I saying what I want to say?"

Zhu Dayong asked hesitantly.

"yes, just talk about your own opinion. ”

Xia Jie nodded and said as a matter of course.

"I think money means the best, get rich!"

Zhu Dayong rubbed his fingers and said with a smile.

"Well, let's talk about money, so is there anything that can represent money?"

Xia Jie asked.

"Gold, ingots or something, you can represent it!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Dayong replied.

"Besides, is there an animal that can represent the meaning of wealth?"

Xia Jie continued to ask.

"Animals...... Animals!"

After muttering a few sentences, Zhu Dayong patted his bald head, and said in hindsight: "By the way, Master, I see that people often put a golden toad in their store, Master, does this thing matter?" ”

"Of course, isn't there one?"

Xia Jie nodded.

"If you think about it, what else has a good omen?"

"Sheep, Sanyang Kaitai!"

"Horse, horse to success!"

"Cow, bull is angry!"

"Rooster, rooster dawn!"

was pushed by Xia Jie like this, Zhu Dayong seemed to have opened his mind, and said four or five animals in one breath.

"Well, these are animals, and there are also plants, such as the 'Four Gentlemen'!"

Xia Jie smiled and said.

"Four gentlemen, Master, what is that?"

Zhu Dayong was dumbfounded again.

"Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, those are all auspicious, can be used as root carving vegetarian dishes. ”

Xia Jie raised his hand and pointed to the bamboo next to him and said.

"Yes, yes, Master, you are so right, I know. ”

Zhu Dayong's face was suddenly full of joy.

I thought hard all night to no avail, and when I got to the master's side, I got it done in a few words.

It seems that I still have to run to the master's side more if I have nothing to do, and it is right to listen to him.

"Master, then I'll go back and carve it first, and I'll have to ask you for more guidance when I go back." ”

"Since people can trust me and order it, I must go all out, otherwise it is a trivial matter for me to lose face, and I am afraid that I will lose your face. ”

Zhu Dayong couldn't help but say.

These days, the old man often uses this to spur himself.

In his opinion, he has some face to care about, but the master's face must not be lost.

"Okay, carve it well, go back and carve it, I'll help you take a look at it again." ”

Xia Jie nodded and cheered for Zhu Dayong.

"Well, Master, you can take a good look!"

Nodding heavily, Zhu Dayong turned around and ran back.

After this episode, Xia Jie continued to walk to the vegetable market.

On the vegetable field, the villagers are still very enthusiastic, and they almost want to give it away for nothing.

Xia Jie naturally can't be greedy for this cheapness, he can do as much as he wants, and he can't lose a single point.

After purchasing fresh ingredients, Xia Jie did not rush back to his grandfather, but returned home and moved out the jar of liquor soaked in wild ginseng.

"I've soaked it for so long, it should have an effect, so I'll give my grandfather a taste today. ”

Xia Jie muttered, then took an empty wine bottle and filled it with a full bottle.

"Wang...... Wow!"

Master, where are you going?

In the yard, seeing that Xia Jie was going out again, Qiuqiu couldn't help but come up and call vigorously.

"Hehe, let's go, grandpa has a birthday, take you to eat good. ”

Xia Jie waved at the dog and said.

Now the small courtyard has been specially placed with a video surveillance probe by the town police station, so there is no need to worry about thieves coming to the door.

You can go out with you with you.

"Wang...... Wow!"

Okay, it's time to go to the waves again!

The ball waged its tail vigorously with excitement.

Although there are many new and old partners in the courtyard now, there are temptations from the dogs in the village!

Of course, when setting off, Xia Jie specially took some apples and carrots to see the national treasure.

When he arrived at the bamboo forest, Xia Jie looked left and right.

Hey, this thing didn't sleep in the bamboo house, where did it go?

Have you gone back to the mountains?

Dangdang!

Xia Jie patted the basin in his hand and roared.

"Niu Niu, come out and eat fruit!"
