Lin Yue nodded and said: "I used to study art design, and I am very interested in things rich in beauty and spirituality, I think carving is very magical, in the hands of the carver anything can become an incomparably beautiful thing in the world, especially when it is spiritualized by people, it is even more moving." I think it's a wonderful thing that something like wood, jadeite, and stone can be turned into a beautiful person or thing in your own hands. ”

Chang Tai nodded when he heard this, interest is the motivation for learning, but he doesn't know how long this interest can last. Many people are interested in the moment, and when they know that there is an extremely boring process in it, they will retreat, and he has seen a lot of such people.

He Changhe listened to the conversation between the old and the young on the side, and didn't know how to interject, the other party's choice of apprentices was not something he could meddle in, whether he accepted it or not was the other party's business, he could only play the role of threading the needle.

"Yes. It seems that you are quite interested in carving, have you studied carving before?" asked Chang Tai again.

Lin Yue shook his head with a little regret on his face and said: "No, after graduating from college, I wanted to learn but no one taught, and then I entered a jadeite processing workshop, which made jadeite jewelry not by hand but with a machine, at that time I felt very awkward, jadeite was originally a spiritual thing but they made it into a dead thing." ”

"What did you do before?"

"The calcite workers in the processing workshop are now working in Rong Lexuan, He Lao. ”

At this time, He Changhe appropriately interjected: "Although Lin Yue is young, he has the best calcite technology in our factory. ”

"Oh, so you have a good grasp of the saw blade in your eyes?" At this time, Chang Tai's eyes finally brought a little interest.

"It's okay, He Lao said that there is still a big gap between me and the real calcite master. Lin Yue said with some embarrassment, he didn't dare to say anything big in front of two master-level people.

Chang Tai nodded when he heard this, very satisfied with Lin Yue's modest attitude, and then said, "Can I see your hand?"

"Hands?" Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Chang Tai meant for a while, but he still stood up and walked in front of Chang Tai, deep in his hands.

Lin Yue's hands are very slender and extremely white, and they don't look like the hands that a man should have, and he doesn't know how many girls he envy with these hands. Many girls sighed loudly after seeing him with his hands, "These hands gave birth to the wrong person", which made Lin Yue very embarrassed.

After Chang Tai saw Lin Yue's slender hands, he couldn't help but have a bright color flashing in his eyes. Then he moved Lin Yue's fingers, and then smiled and motioned for Lin Yue to sit back.

After that, Chang Tai decided not to mention the carving, and kept chatting with He Changhe and Lin Yue, the three of them chatted until the morning, and then Chang Tai's family had lunch together, Li Qingmeng was on the side, although there were two elders, but there was still no smile on her face, only occasionally a warm color flashed in her eyes, just like an ice sculpture that has not been painted for thousands of years, it just brought a little human emotion.

Chang Tai is like an ordinary and kind old man, drinking and chatting with He Changhe, and from time to time telling Lin Yue and Li Qingmeng some of his own experience in life and life, and eating a meal is very happy, but Lin Yue's psychology is very bitter.

Chang Tai's attitude made Lin Yue's mood very low, is his own hands not suitable for carving, why has he never mentioned carving since he saw his own hands?

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon when they were about to say goodbye that Lin Yue felt a little hope in his heart, because he was called to the study alone by Chang Tai.

Chang Tai didn't talk nonsense, and said: "Learning to carve is not a day's work, can you endure this pain?"

"Yes!" Lin Yue nodded very affirmatively, with a faint hint of expectation in his heart.

"Don't say it so much, the pain in it is not something that ordinary people can experience, only those who have experienced it can know. Since you want to learn carving, it means that you like this, you have to know that carving is first and foremost an art, and secondly a means of making a living, if you put the cart before the horse, even if you enter the door of carving, you will not be able to really enter the house. Chang Tai's tone has become very stern when he said that.

Lin Yue nodded solemnly, he would never let the copper smell let us be an art, anyway, he will rely on his ability to gamble on stones in the future, and he will have money, and he doesn't need to use carving to make money at all.

"Okay, everything that should be said has been said, I will give a way, after returning home, there is a lit ordinary incense in your room at night, you take a knife, no matter what kind of knife it is, don't turn on the light, in the case of complete darkness only incense lit, you use a knife to split that incense, give you a month's time, you must at least six out of ten knives to split the incense, otherwise the two of us are fateful, a month later today you come to my house and I will test your results. ”

Cutting ordinary incense with a knife in the dark at night?

Must there be at least six splits out of ten?

Give a month of time?

Lin Yue looked at Chang Tai in disbelief, this is a test for him, isn't this difficult for a strong man?

It is simply impossible for anyone to do it in such a short period of time in a month!

Lin Yue suddenly felt that his dream was getting farther and farther away from him, was it so difficult to learn carving by himself?

But soon, Lin Yue recovered from his frustration, it's a big deal, since the other party said so, someone must be able to practice within a month, otherwise this means that the other party doesn't want to take him as an apprentice at all. Since I don't want to make such a big detour, the second possibility is not true, then there is only one possibility.

Since someone can succeed, Lin Yue is confident that he can also succeed.

He nodded heavily at Chang Tai and said, "Okay, I'll come back in a month." ”

Chang Tai glanced at Lin Yue in some surprise, puzzled by Lin Yue's promise so refreshingly, and then said lightly:

"Don't tell He Chang and that dead old man about this, if he knows about it, you won't have a chance at all!"

Listening to what Chang Tai said seriously, Lin Yue nodded.

Soon, Lin Yue left Changtai's home with He Changhe.

On the way, He Changhe saw Lin Yue's expression faintly depressed, so he asked, "Did that dead old man tell you something in the study?"

"Didn't say anything, just chatted casually. Lin Yue clearly remembered the agreement between him and Chang Tai.

"Just a casual chat?" He Changhe glanced at Lin Yue with deep meaning, smiled slightly, and then stopped asking.

After He Changhe and Lin Yue left, Chang Tai was reading in the study alone, and at this time, Li Qingmeng walked in from outside with a cup of tea.

"Teacher, drink some water. ”

Li Qingmeng put the tea on the side of the desk and was about to retreat, but heard Chang Tai ask, "Qingmeng, do you know what Old Man He and that young man are doing?"

Li Qingmeng shook his head, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Hehe, I'm here to apprentice, but whether I accept him or not depends on his performance in a month. ”

Chang Tai took a sip of the teacup gently, and the eyes outside the window showed a meaningful look.

Li Qingmeng next to him still looked unwavering, just nodded lightly.

Along the way, Lin Yue was always thinking about Chang Tai's words, putting a burning incense stick in the dark and holding a knife to chop, at least six of the ten knives, can he really do it?

Lin Yue rehearsed in his mind to split incense with a knife, and the more he wanted to split it, the more he couldn't hit it, which made his hope like a candle in the wind on the verge of extinguishing at any time.

Lin Yue sighed heavily, forget it, it's a big deal to go to Chang Tai's house in a month to explain the situation, but before that, he has to do his best and do his best.

Soon arrived at the intersection where Lin Yue got into the car, Lin Yue slowly walked out of the car, and just as he was about to say goodbye to He Changhe, He Changhe shook down the glass on the car. He said meaningfully to Lin Yue: "No matter what you do, just do your best, if you really don't have a fate with Lao Chang, it won't mean anything, it's a big deal to change another master, there are thousands of capable people in China, there is always a master who is suitable for teaching you." Another point, the master leads the door to practice in the individual, no matter how good the teacher is not to rely on your own study and study, the most important thing to learn some carving is not in the old but in yourself. ”

He Changhe's words were like an initiation, waking up the confused Lin Yue.

Starting tomorrow, this book will change from the original two more a day to three more a day, and remember to vote for the children's shoes that are powerful!
