Chapter 216: The Old Carpenter's Request (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
Two days later.
In Langmohu Park, the old men and aunts who were about to come to the park for morning exercise suddenly found that there were security guards at the entrance of the park to prevent them from entering.
"I'm sorry, but the park is closed to the public today. ”
These uncles and aunts are all human spirits, where will they believe this set of statements, Mohu Park has only been built for a few years, where there will be a need to rest, even if there is, it is impossible to close the whole park.
"I see which big guy came to play. ”
"Perhaps, didn't there be a report last time that a leader was coming over recently?"
These uncles and aunts are idle and bored on weekdays, and many of them are retired from public office, and their favorite thing is to discuss some national political affairs, as if they are underground organization ministers.
"But generally big people will remember to follow the report when they come, don't you pay attention to democratization now, and those leaders are also very close to the people. ”
"Silly, it was just deliberately filmed, the itinerary of those big leaders was arranged a few months ago or even earlier, and the people who could get close to the leaders were investigated for several generations. ”
"Yes, when I was the village head, there was a provincial leader who wanted to come down, and the county asked us to prepare for the work a month in advance. ”
……
So, in the mouths of these uncles and aunts, the news that a big leader came to Ruili and came to Langmo Lake spread at a rapid speed, attracting many curious onlookers at the gate of the park.
"Fang Ming, when I first came in from the park, I found that these old men were discussing, saying that there was a big leader here, and it was a big leader. ”
Hua Ming was bored and walked around the gate of the park, and when he heard the discussions of those old men and aunts, he almost laughed.
Where is there any big leader, but the Chen family donated 100 million yuan to the local government at once, and then said that if they want to build a pavilion in Langmo Lake, they need to borrow a day from Langmo Lake.
For the local government, they naturally will not refuse, 100 million to buy the right to use Mohu Lake for one day, no matter how you buy and sell, you will not lose money, and it is difficult for the Chen family to dare to demolish the building of Mohu?
Fang Ming smiled after hearing Hua Mingming's words, the Chinese people, what they like the most is all kinds of speculation, let them guess The reason why the park is blocked is also because they are afraid that some visions will leak out at that time.
"Master Fang, those workers are asking when they can pave the road. ”
"Is it already built?"
Looking at Chen Yang's father who came over, Fang Ming was a little surprised, in more than a day, these stonemason masters were so fast?
"Well, it's almost. ”
"Let's go, I'll go over and have a look. ”
There was a small island in the center of Nongmo Lake, which had not yet been developed, and there was no bridge built to reach it directly, so Fang Ming went up by boat.
In the very center of the island, a brand new pavilion stood, but the roof of the pavilion had not yet been sealed, but only framed.
With the pavilion as the center, there are two freshly dug earthen ditches of about 50 centimeters in front and back, which zigzag and stretch to the boundary of the island.
"Master Fang, what should these workers do now?"
"Is it done with the carpenter?"
"It's already ready, and it's going to be shipped over now. ”
"Good. ”
Just as Fang Ming was talking to the Chen family, another ferry boat came over, and in addition to Chen Million, there were also many masters carrying logs on board.
"Fang Xiaoyou, this is Wang Shengli, a famous carpenter master in our city. ”
Chen Million led an old man in his sixties over, the old man was not tall, and the whole person was thin, but the green tendons on his hands protruded, especially a pair of eyes were extremely bright.
"Is Boss Fang a gentleman?" Wang Shengli looked at Fang Ming and asked directly.
"Why did the master say this?"
Fang Ming looked at Wang Shengli with a smile, because he believed that Chen Million would not tell others his identity.
"It's very simple, although the wooden pillars that President Chen asked me to build look simple, the patterns on them are not simple at all, and both the specifications and the quantity meet the requirements of Feng Shui. ”
Wang Shengli had a fine light in his eyes, and said frankly: "To tell the truth, I have been a carpenter for so many years, and it is not the first time I have encountered such a situation, and I have also cooperated with several feng shui gentlemen before, Mr. Fang is going to arrange a feng shui bureau?"
Even the Feng Shui Bureau knew, Fang Ming smiled, sure enough, since ancient times, Yin and Yang carpenters have not been separated, in fact, there are many carpenter masters who understand some Yin and Yang skills.
After all, among the many immortals worshipped by Mr. Feng Shui, the carpenter patriarch Lu Ban is in the top ten.
"It was precisely because I saw that Mr. Fang might want these wooden pillars to arrange the Feng Shui Bureau, so this time it was Lao Yu who did it himself, and Mr. Fang was still not satisfied when he saw it. ”
Chen Million on the side also explained: "Fang Xiaoyou, you may not know that Master Wang has not taken over the work himself for a long time, and most of the cases are handled by his apprentices. ”
During the period of speaking, those master carpenters also carried the wooden pillars over, seeing these wooden pillars and the patterns on them, Fang Ming's eyes lit up, and the next moment he hugged his fist towards Wang Shengli, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Wang." ”
"Haha, Mr. Fang is satisfied. ”
Wang Shengli also had a trace of confidence in his eyes, he was still confident in his craft, but then his face also showed a look of loss.
"Now the carpenter industry has been adjusted to zero, I originally had thirteen apprentices, but now there are only four left in the carpenter industry, and who else can build a house out of wood, all of them are reinforced concrete. ”
Hearing Wang Shengli's words, Fang Ming also knew that this was the truth, there were fewer and fewer wooden houses, except for some tourist attractions to attract tourists, and the wooden houses in many places were about to disappear.
Yunnan is quite good, one is the tourism industry is strong, the other is that the economy is not particularly developed, the southern coastal side is full of high-rise commercial buildings, and there are few wooden houses.
In fact, the emergence of industrialization has led to the decline of not only the carpenter industry, but also many traditional industries.
After all, this is a skill that can feed a family.
In ancient times, there was a saying that it is better to have a skill than a thousand family wealth, because even if there is a war or natural or man-made disasters with skills, you will not starve to death if you have skills.
Therefore, in ancient times, apprenticeship was a very serious matter, and it was this strict test system that gave rise to the saying that one day is a teacher and a father for life.
But it doesn't work now, after all, now that society is stable, just ask a person, whether you want a lot of money or a skill, I'm afraid you don't hesitate to choose the former.
The reason is very simple, it is enough to have a large amount of money just deposited in the bank to eat interest, as long as it is not a bottomless squander, life is still very comfortable.
"Mr. Fang, the old man has a feeling of not asking for it, and I hope that Mr. Fang can agree. ”
Wang Shengli's expression became solemn, Fang Ming had probably guessed it in his heart, but he still nodded and motioned for the other party to say it.
"The decline of the carpenter's profession is the general trend, and it cannot be reversed by old decay, but the decay hopes that my apprentices can continue to stay in this profession, so I want to give them a little confidence and let them know that carpenters have other uses besides cutting wood. ”
"Master Wang means to let your apprentice stay here to watch the final completion of the Feng Shui Bureau?"
"That's right. Wang Shengli nodded, "Although I have told them some feng shui knowledge on weekdays, but my apprentices have not seen it and don't believe it in my heart, and today I also want to take this opportunity to make them more confident in going on in the carpenter industry, and I also hope that Mr. Fang will succeed." ”
Wang Shengli hugged his fist towards Fang Ming, Fang Ming hurriedly waved his hand, "Master Wang's words are serious, the carpenter's line is equivalent to the left arm and right arm for our feng shui master, I naturally don't want to see the decline of the carpenter's line, but if I can do my part, I will definitely not shirk it." ”
Fang Ming agreed, and what he said was not a lie.
Feng Shui master and carpenter are originally dependent on each other, in the past, whether it was a house or a burial in a house, it was generally Mr. Feng Shui and the carpenter master present at the same time, especially when the house moved, the carpenter master was responsible for cheering on the beam, if there was a custom of throwing steamed buns, it was the carpenter master who read Lu Ban's congratulatory message.
Take the wood that Fang Ming wants this time as an example, the traditional carpenter master uses a wood planer tool to plane it out one by one, and what kind of wood is used and what size of planer is used for what kind of wood is particular.
Wang Shengli brought four apprentices this time, all of them are about forty years old, all of them are honest people, for them will not leave the carpenter industry in this life, because they are old and have no other skills, and they can make a living by doing some short-term work for others.
But this is not Wang Shengli's purpose, Wang Shengli wants to let his apprentices know the importance of the carpenter's line, and hopes that after he leaves, his apprentices can accept apprentices to pass on his skills.
The frame of the pavilion was ready, and now it was almost time to get the wooden pillars up, but Fang Ming was not in a hurry to let Wang Shengli take his apprentice to get it done.
Now, all that outsiders can do is pretty much it, and what is missing is his arrangement.
"Chen Yang, follow me. ”
Fang Ming held a bag in his hand and motioned for Chen Yang to follow him, as for the others, they were all arranged by Fang Ming to leave the island and return to the park at this time.
If the law is not passed on to the six ears, the next arrangement will be the focus, and it must not be revealed, even if he knows that the people present are not bad people, but he must have a sense of precaution.
