"Are you doing this inside kung fu?"

Xu Wen finished a set of punches, a faint white gas appeared on the surface of his body, he took a long breath, gathered his momentum, and heard a question behind him.

Xu Wen turned his head to look and called out unexpectedly, "Master Lu." ”

An old man stood at the door of the moon cave with his arms crossed, looking at him. Xu Wen recognized it when he saw it, it was Lu Qingyuan, his on-the-spot master in the second round of exams.

He suddenly realized: "You lent us the house for a while?"

"Empty is empty, what does it matter. Your set of internal kung fu was taught to you by your master?" Lu Qingyuan asked.

"Yes, it's called Zhan Wu Fowl, which is said to have evolved from Hua Tuo's Five Fowl Opera. Master said that practicing this can help control the body and help with the handicraft. Xu Wen didn't hide it, and said very calmly.

"Zhan Wu Fowl, I seem to have heard ...... somewhere" Lu Qingyuan frowned and pondered, but this memory was too long, and the impression was too faint to remember.

"Listening to this name, it should also be used for self-defense. Lu Qingyuan gave up and continued to think about it and asked.

"It should be. Xu asked.

"In the future, when you are outside, you still have to guard against others, this kind of thing should be your master's unique secret skill, don't say it to anyone easily. Lu Qingyuan suddenly admonished him.

Xu Wen smiled, although even Tianqing said that it was okay for outsiders to know, he still replied very seriously: "Yes." ”

Lu Qingyuan paced into the courtyard, swept his eyes around, and asked, "What do you think of my courtyard?"

Xu Wen followed him and looked around.

Yesterday I came too late and didn't pay attention, but now the morning light is getting brighter, and the scenery in the courtyard is getting clearer and clearer.

This yard is not big, surrounded by black tiles and white walls, a few bushes of bamboo on the side of the wall, there are stones under the bamboo, there are orchids on the side of the stones, the whole environment is random but not scattered, elegant and abnormal.

"Very beautiful. Xu Wen praised sincerely.

"Where is the beauty?" Lu Qingyuan asked.

"Ugh. Xu Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter where you go or where you face, the scenery you see is like a painting." ”

"Do you know how to draw?" Lu Qingyuan asked.

"Uh...... I don't really understand. Xu Wen hesitated again.

"What kind of painting do you think is a good painting?" Lu Qingyuan continued to ask.

Xu Wen didn't know how to speak.

Not to mention that he really doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting, Lu Qingyuan's proposition is too big and too general, and he doesn't know where to start. But now that Lu Qingyuan was staring at him with eager eyes, Xu Wen felt that it was not appropriate not to answer.

He thought about some of the things he had learned in class before, some of the things he had read when he read books, and some of the things that Lian Tianqing had talked about in the past year, and said slowly: "I have excellent techniques, the painter's views and pursuits of beauty, and the depiction of the heart......

Lu Qingyuan didn't seem to expect him to say this, and he was stunned for a while. His eyes became very complicated, and after a while he asked, "Then what do you think is the most important of these?"

Xu Wen couldn't say it at all.

It was getting a little brighter again.

The brothers got up one after another, yawned and went out, and greeted him as they normally would.

"Xu asked, why did you get up so early yesterday so late. Lu Cheng was wiping his eyes, and when he saw Xu Wen dressed neatly, he said unexpectedly.

"Get used to it. At this time, Lu Qingyuan had already left, Xu Wen withdrew from his thoughts and said with a smile.

"Why are your clothes all sweaty, what are you doing?"

"Exercise early. ”

“？？？”

Lu Cheng looked at him inexplicably, just at this time Zhou Zhicheng came in from outside, and when he saw that they had all gotten up, he immediately laughed: "It's just right, I've got the money back for you, take it." ”

Even Lin Lin is not there, Xu San is everyone's housekeeper. He thanked Zhou Zhicheng, took the money, and was thinking about how to divide it, Zhou Zhicheng said with a smile: "By the way, Boss Xu thinks that you have cultivated well, and I want to introduce business to you again, which is also a similar job, do you want to do it?"

Xu Wen went to look at the others and found that everyone's faces were all lit up together.

This is not only a matter of making more money, the key is that this is Boss Xu's recognition of their craftsmanship!

For the first time in their lives, they were recognized outside the workshop!

"Do!" Xu San asked for the opinions of the others and said without hesitation.

"But I'd like to go to the county government gate first...... someone hesitated.

"I want to too!"

"Hmm!"

Everyone responded.

Yesterday until the end, the bucket made by Xu Wen did not leak, and Zhu Gantang let it be displayed at the entrance of the county government until water stains appeared on the surface.

They would love to see if the bucket is still there, and if so, for how long.

"Then go first. Xu San nodded immediately.

The barrels, of course, are still there.

After the night, the barrel was still as clean as it had been before the night, with no wet marks at all.

Two sergeants stood guard next to him, not touching him, but there was still a crowd of people around.

Of course, a wooden barrel is nothing to look at, and the ordinary people came over curiously to look at it and left. But for carpenters, without a bucket hoop, the waterproofing of the barrel can be achieved to this extent by mortise and tenon joints alone, this craftsmanship is simply amazing!

The master can do this without worrying about not having a big business, and the place where it appears is still an apprentice test, which is made by an apprentice doll who has not been a teacher!

"It's really amazing, and I don't know which Kiba came from. ”

"Needless to say, it must be Okiba. ”

"Yuemuxuan, Yichengfang, and Dongdu Mufang, not one of these three families, I will kneel down and call you Dad!"

A group of carpenters frothed at the mouth to discuss their origins, and the apprentices of the old woodyard behind them all wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh.

"It's kind of cool. ”

"Turn around and come out, you must know that Xu Wen came out of the fifth-level workshop, does that person really have to call others Dad?"

"I really want to see it hahaha. ”

Lu Cheng didn't laugh in the crowd, his mood was a little complicated.

The small workshop is the face of the master.

But who can know that Xu Wen's grades have nothing to do with the master of Yao's Wood Workshop, he is trained by a helper......

At the same time, he always had a sentence that he wanted to say but didn't say.

No water tenon, isn't that Master Yao's unique skill?

The brothers watched it for a while and then left.

They went back to the noodle shop last night, and the owner was busy, and when he saw them, he greeted them and looked them up and down.

"I can't see it, at such a young age, it's really old-fashioned. ”

He complimented, and everyone's faces were smiling at the same time, even a little excited.

Xu Wen saw their expressions and suddenly recalled the scene when he had just started working. Salary is important, of course, but even more important is the recognition you get in the process of working.

Throughout the ages, no matter what world you are in, everyone's mood is the same......

"It's just a little, a little bit not very good, it's good-looking. Xu San said a little ashamedly.

I was too excited to work last night, and I felt that the chairs I repaired were all good, but now when I look back, I find that several tables and stools are not very detailed, and the tenons are exposed in some places.

"That's nothing. And the table and stool, it's just sturdy!I've tried it, it's so sturdy, it's stronger than before!" The boss smiled, very satisfied.

Then, he really introduced them to a few more jobs, which were basically his peers, not too big but not too small noodle restaurants or restaurants, located in different locations in the county, so the competition was not too strong.

In such a restaurant, almost every house has tables and chairs to be repaired. Xu asked them to charge cheaply, the craftsmanship is really good, and the boss recommends it to be very face-saving.

The repairs were made at different locations in the water, and the apprentices of the old woodyard were divided into teams.

Xu Wen pinched the purse in his arms and asked, "Which one is closest to the calligraphy and painting shop?"

"Brother Gantang, you are narrow-minded. ”

The middle-aged man's expression was extremely gentle even when he frowned, and he shook his head at Zhu Gantang, looking very disapproving.

At this time, they were standing next to the beech begonia step-down bed, Zhu Gantang had just told him about the causes and consequences of the production of this bed, and finally said some of his comments and opinions on it, but he didn't expect to attract such a middle-aged man.

Zhu Gantang was not angry, and said to the middle-aged man: "Brother Qiu taught me." ”

"According to you, this bed was completed in one day, and with this, why force anything else?" the middle-aged man continued to shake his head.

"How can you not force it? Superb calligraphy and painting, there should be higher requirements!" Zhu Gantang was a little excited.

"But it's not calligraphy and painting. "Middle-aged people are still gentle.

"But ......"

"Calligraphy and painting are for appreciation, and beds are for sleeping. ”

The middle-aged man said as he lifted the hem of his robe, sat down on the bed, and lay down again.

"Sturdy, silent, the right size, a good bed. The middle-aged man was lying flat on the bed, even with his eyes closed. But after only a while, he rolled over, "It's just that there is no futon, and it is a little hard." ”

Zhu Gantang looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.

The middle-aged man looked up at him, his eyebrows were gentle, and he asked, "Brother Gantang, are you going to lie down and watch?"

Zhu Gantang was quiet for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Of course." ”

He also lay down and closed his eyes.

The light of the sky shines through the begonia lattice, casting a ghostly pattern on his face.

"It was a good bed. Zhu Gantang admitted.
