Chapter 77 Cultural Ambassadors
When the rough billet was all completed, it was noon on the sixth day.
Lu Zi'an put down the carving knife and stretched, and the joints crackled.
Shen Mange, who was guarding on the side, hurriedly said: "Brother Zi'an, why don't you eat first, and then do it after eating, and don't rush at this time." β
"Good. Lu Zi'an patted the sawdust on his body and got up.
So Qu Duoduo said hello to everyone in the live broadcast room: "Okay, see you in the afternoon." β
[What will you do when the rough blank is done?]
[Yes, spoilers!]
Qu Duoduo looked back at Lu Zi'an: "Master Lu, everyone is asking what you are going to do in the afternoon." β
"Afternoon?" Lu Zi'an, who walked to the door, turned around and smiled slightly: "Prepare materials and rub threads." β
γWhat kind of ingredients?γ
[What kind of thread is rubbed? Isn't it wood carving? Do you wrap it with wool?]
But Qu Dodo will not reply to these questions.
In order to keep Lu Zi'an physically active, Shen Mange made him a lot of nourishment.
"Come, Brother Zi'an, eat more. Shen Mange scooped him a bowl of thick chicken soup.
"This ......" Lu Zi'an was a little frightened: "Will it be too much to make up?"
In the past five days, he has basically made up all kinds of supplements every day, and he had a nosebleed last night......
Shen Mange's expression was indifferent: "Well, just these few days, I won't make it up when you're done." β
If it weren't for the fact that the craftsmanship of "......" must be fine, he would have wanted to complete it directly.
Just after eating, Lu Zi'an was preparing materials when someone suddenly visited.
Qu Duo was washing the dishes, so it was Shen Mange who went to open the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she was stunned: "Mr. Zhuo......"
Zhuo Peng led the way, followed by a long list of people, looking in with bright eyes.
"Uh, Miss Shen, is Master Lu here?" Zhuo Peng tried to make his smile more gentle and friendly, he glanced behind him, and said with some embarrassment: "There are several leaders who have important matters to discuss......
Shen Mange nodded: "Yes, please come in." β
Lu Zi'an took a general look around and found that except for Liu Zining, who came last time, no one else knew anyone.
"Ah, let me introduce you. Zhuo Peng saw that he was not carving, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the deputy mayor of Changyan City, and this is the president of the Quanzhou Wood Carving Association......"
Lu Zi'an didn't expect these people to be so big, and when he shook hands, he was at a loss: what did he do? Why did the deputy mayor come out......
As a result, everyone praised him for having the style of a master, indifferent and calm, which is really rare.
"......" Shen Mange could only say that this was really your illusion......
Because there were more than a dozen people here, they couldn't sit on the sofa, and a few of them had to carry a chair to sit.
Vice Mayor Dong is about fifty years old, smiling, amiable, and his eyes are bright and spirited: "Master Lu, we all know that you are very busy, so let's get straight to the point." β
Lu Zi'an smiled and nodded: "Please speak." β
"Our city is ready to create a brand-new, humanities-based city image, focusing on the promotion of our Changyan long-standing traditional culture, after many discussions, I feel that Mr. Lu is very in line with the theme of our spiritual civilization, so this time, on behalf of the mayor, I specially invite you to serve as the cultural communication ambassador of Changyan City, and work hard to build a better Changyan!" Vice Mayor Dong was stunned, his words were very passionate, and he looked at Lu Zi'an encouragingly: "I don't know what Master Lu wants?"
Sure enough, the big guy is the big guy, and the official language is one after another.
Lu Zi'an smiled and nodded: "I'm honored." β
He is still thinking about how to expand his popularity, it is just that someone will send a pillow when he is sleepy, he doesn't have to worry about it, and there is official support, it can't be more wonderful.
The few people he brought hurriedly finalized the approximate details with Lu Zi'an, and after making sure that the matter was done, Vice Mayor Dong left satisfied.
There were only a few people from the Quanzhou Wood Carving Association left on the sofa, and President Chu cleared his throat: "Well, Master Lu, that's the case, we've been watching your live broadcast for the past few days, I want to take the liberty of asking, do you want to do lacquer line carving?"
After seeing the video, they rushed to Donglin City, but they were attracted by the agarwood carving and stayed in Donglin City for a few days.
Then as soon as I arrived in Changyan City today, I saw Lu Zi'an saying that he wanted to prepare materials and rub threads, others couldn't understand it, but they knew what it meant, and they didn't even go to the hotel, so they rushed over directly.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zi'an understood their intentions to come, and he didn't think about hiding it from others, so he nodded generously: "Yes, this work is most suitable for lacquer line carving." β
Everyone glanced at each other, and President Chu leaned forward with some eagerness, staring at Lu Zi'an with blazing eyes: "Then I want to ask Mr. Lu who learned lacquer line carving from?"
He himself is the successor of Quanzhou wood carving, naturally knows how difficult lacquer line carving is, he has been stuck in the bottleneck for ten years, and the works he has made are still ingenious, and he has never understood the fine elegance of lacquer line carving.
Lu Zi'an obviously preferred Dongyang wood carving in his previous works, why did he suddenly learn Quanzhou lacquer line carving?
This must be someone who can guide them! If this person can also guide them......
"Well, to be precise, I didn't learn it from people. Lu Zi'an's voice was calm and calm: "It was Master Zhuo and everyone Han who gave me a chance to comprehend on my own." β
How is this possible?
President Chu couldn't believe his ears, and his expression was a little distorted: "Comprehend it yourself?" β
This Lu Zi'an really can make up any lies! How old is he? Can he comprehend lacquer line carving?
Calm down.
He took a sip of tea from his cup, trying to make his tone sound less aggressive: "Mr. Lu, to be honest, we have been to Donglin City before coming, and your agarwood carving is indeed exquisite, but we can all see that the skills of Quanzhou wood carving are used!"
Chairman Chu put the cup on the coffee table lightly, suppressed his anger and said, "We don't mean anything else, we just hope to ask this person to give us some guidance, is this request too much?"
Not excessive.
From their point of view, few of their own family members have fully mastered their own stunts, and as a result, outsiders are more proficient than them, and they must be depressed in their hearts.
"You can say whatever you want, and it's easy to discuss, but it's not good to fool us like this. β
But Lu Zi'an was also helpless: "It's really not someone else who taught me ......"
Seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, President Chu was a little annoyed, but in the end, he still experienced a big event, he didn't get angry, but controlled his emotions and said as gently as possible: "If it's really inconvenient, we won't force it, but I want to know, Master Lu, are you going to broadcast the process of lacquer line carving live?"
After speaking, he glanced at Zou Kai and added: "Will you also record and make videos?"
Lu Zi'an nodded: "Under normal circumstances, this is the case. β
"How can this work?"
The crowd who had been still calm immediately exploded, saying that this would not work, absolutely not.
I don't know who raised his voice and said: "You are generous to others! This is our Quanzhou skill, of course you don't care, otherwise why don't you broadcast your Lu family's skills?"
Lu Zi'an raised his eyebrows: "I've been broadcasting live, and I've been broadcasting for two years." β
"......" everyone was dumbfounded.
Lu Zi'an said earnestly: "I know what you mean, lacquer line carving has existed for so many years, it is extremely difficult to pass it down, and there are only a few dozen people who are really proficient in it today, not only because it is difficult, but also because it takes years of accumulation to fully grasp its essence." β
Everyone nodded again and again, that's the reason.
As a result, Lu Zi'an's words changed: "So what does it matter if I live broadcast? Even if someone wants to learn secretly, they may not necessarily learn, don't you have one who has learned from the master for a long time and hasn't learned it?"
Everyone's eyes were vaguely aimed at someone, and Elder Chu's face turned red.
