As soon as Su Yongchang and Su Chan went to the mountain to dig out the root carving buried in the soil, they received a call from Master Zhou, who was also a master of root carving, inviting him to Yipinju in the county seat to have a small gathering with a few friends.

As an industry insider in the root carving industry, the size of the name can prove the level of this person's root carving skills on the one hand.

Although Su Yongchang is the vice president, he and Master Zhou, who is the president, have always fought openly and secretly, and no one obeys anyone!

He glanced at the root carving work in his hand, put it away, and took Su Chan up the mountain to a Mercedes-Benz and drove towards the county seat.

After a while, the car stopped at the gate of Yipinju in the county seat, and the two walked in and went straight to a private room on the second floor.

Wearing a Long Qingxiang gown and combing his big back, a middle-aged man with a square face saw Su Yongchang coming in, smiled, arched his hand and said:

"Master Su, it's been a long journey, and the dust and dust have rushed over, you see the two dishes on the table, the Imperial Snow Feather Chicken and the Supreme Kunyu, but they are both local famous dishes, sit down and taste them!"

"Master Zhou is polite!"

Su Yongchang arched his hand at the middle-aged man, walked to the table, and sat down.

There are no rules, and all walks of life have rules that belong to their circles.

Su Chan belongs to the younger generation, so naturally she has no right to sit, so she can only stand aside.

Master Zhou is the president of the National Root Carving Association, and throughout the year, he always comes up with one or two works that he thinks are perfect to suppress others, so as to consolidate his prestige and status in the association.

This time, of course, he lifted the red cloth covering an ornament on the table, and said loudly:

"Before eating, Master Su, please taste my horse-stepping Guan Gong!"

Su Yongchang looked at the one in front of him, dressed in a red robe, majestic, the carving is beautiful, very exquisite, people at first glance, with a kind of murderous atmosphere, carved from boxwood, evenly painted with red lacquer, stepped on the horse Guan Gong, and said from the heart, "Not bad!"

"Zhou feels honored to be praised by Master Su!"

Master Zhou carved his own meticulous statue, which can be called the most pinnacle work in his life, stepped on the horse Guan Gong, with a proud look on his face, and spoke.

Su Chan on the side saw that her grandfather was being suppressed, and when she thought of the root carving that He Chang was in, and then looked at the root carving in front of her, her face showed a trace of disdain.

In society, the people who send charcoal in the snow, after all, are a minority, and people often like to put icing on the cake.

Master Wu and Master Zhao, who were present, saw that the president had carved a terrifying root carving work, and they opened their mouths and complimented.

"Boxwood has always been regarded as a hundred poisons in the folk inviolation, evil and evil spirits, peaceful and auspicious sacred wood, Brother Zhou carved Guan Erye with boxwood, and soaked in rooster blood, painted, I dare to say that with this thing town house, ordinary demons and monsters, have to retreat!"

"Brother Zhou, this stepping horse Guan Gong, whether it is carving or using the effect, it is a must!"

Master Zhou listened to the praise of the two, and felt quite useful, with a smug look on his face, he looked at Su Yongchang and said:

"I don't know if Master Su has any new works recently, let me and Master Wu and Master Zhao appreciate it!"

Su Yongchang has carved a few new works recently, but he thinks that these things are not as good as the carving of Master Zhou's stepping horse Guan Gong, his face is a little embarrassed, and he said:

"I've been carving recently, and I've hit a bottleneck, and I don't have any work to do!"

Master Zhou thought to himself that the vice president could only be the vice president forever, and it was impossible for the salted fish to turn over and ride on my head.

He covered the carving of Guan Gonggen with a red cloth, smiled with satisfaction, picked up chopsticks, and pointed a few times to the table.

"Eat vegetables, everyone eats vegetables!"

Su Chan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, he didn't want his grandfather to lose face, so he said coldly:

"Grandpa, you're too modest, obviously you recently carved out a national style work with the artistic conception of the moon lotus hoe, but you didn't take it out, it's really!"

Hearing this, Master Zhou's hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, but he was very confident in his work, looked at Su Yongchang and smiled, and said:

"Brother Su, everyone is an old man in the circle, you are clumsy, it's wrong...... Quickly take out your work and show it to all of you!"

Su Yongchang has always been self-contained, so naturally he can't hold other people's works, and lie that it is his own work, glared at Su Chan, with a straight face, and explained:

"Here's the thing, I went into the mountains with my granddaughter Chan'er to find good root carving wood...... As a result, I met a master carpenter, and this work with a moon lotus hoe was carved by him!"

Generally, those who play root carving will be more or less a carpenter.

However, they have a disdainful attitude towards the carpenter industry.

In my heart, I think that the carpenter's work is not fine enough compared to the root carving.

Everyone here is a little curious, so that an arrogant person like Su Yongchang can change his opinion of carpenters.

The so-called master carpenter, how good the carved things are.

Master Zhou tapped the table with his hand, his eyes were deep, and he looked at Su Chan and said:

"Go and bring the work with the moon lotus hoe, let's take a look!"

"Okay!"

Su Chan wanted to kill Master Zhou's majesty, so she answered and ran out of the room quickly to get He Changzai's root carving work.

After a while, she took the things and put them in front of everyone, and said with a look of anger:

"Look, isn't this thing very well carved!"

The layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway!

The people present, except for Su Yongchang, all looked shocked, staring at the root carving work, their bodies stiffened, standing in place, motionless.

People are more popular than dead people, goods are compared with goods, and goods have to be thrown!

Master Zhou glanced at his horse-stepping Guan Gong root carving, and suddenly felt that the two were comparable.

On top of the carving and charm, they all fell into success, and said with a ashamed face:

"In vain, I am still the president of the National Root Carving Association, in front of other people's root carvings, the more I look at this thing, the more I can't beat it!"

Master Wu and Master Zhao, both of them looked at the root carving, both of them showed admiration, and they spoke one after another.

"This is the lightning strike old elm, I see that it is almost black, this elm is hard, it is not easy to carve, can carve a piece of waste into such a natural, perfect work, Wu really admires!"

"Morningside is desolate, with the moon and lotus hoe, this character's demeanor reveals a sense of free and easy pleasure, very infectious, people who can carve such a work full of charm, it is really amazing!"

......

The group was full of praise for this work, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and ate and drank.

Master Zhou looked at Su Yongchang and took the lead in speaking: Brother Su, can you take us to meet this strange man in the mountains!"

Master Wu and Master Zhao chimed in.

"I'm going too!"

"Such a strange person, if you can give some guidance, our carving skills will definitely go further!"

"Good, good...... When I'm done with this meal, I'll take you there!"

Su Yongchang was full of enthusiasm for the art of root carving, with a smile on his face, and agreed to the matter.
