Chapter 330: The King of Ten Thousand Bamboos
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Seeing Tao Lao's excited appearance, the freckled girl and the tall young man asked.
Tao Lao did not answer, but under the stunned gaze of the freckled girl and the tall young man, he suddenly stood up, ran into the kitchen quickly, rushed to Su Jing, and said eagerly: "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, what kind of bamboo is this?"
Su Zhenhong, Zhao Mengxiang, and Liu Shu were all stunned, how could this old man with an elegant temperament be excited like this? Su Jing was also stunned, but soon understood, Tao Lao, who is a master of bamboo carving, must be very concerned about this bamboo.
"I don't know what kind of bamboo I grow at home. Su Jing said, these bamboos were grown from the bamboo from the time and space of Emperor Qin, originally Su Jing thought that this could be the bamboo of Ye Yinzhu's hometown of the blue sky sea, maybe it can grow into purple bamboo and forge the legendary purple bamboo needle. However, it is a pity that they did not grow into purple bamboo, but they are fragrant, hard, and emerald green like jade, which is definitely a good bamboo. Therefore, Su Jing has been planting, and even poured some spirit stone slag down from time to time to make them grow better.
This time I want to make mandarin duck bamboo, it is mentioned that I want to use fragrant bamboo, Su Jing first thought of the fragrant bamboo used to make bamboo rice, but soon thought of the bamboo planted on the third floor from the time and space of Emperor Qin, compared to these bamboos, the fragrant bamboo is weak. Therefore, he deliberately went home and cut one, and the mandarin duck bamboo he made was very good.
"Cultivated at home, you don't know the name?" Tao Lao was stunned.
"Teacher, this bamboo seems to be amazing. At this time, the freckled girl and the tall young man also rushed in, and they finished eating the dish of mandarin duck and bamboo. Seeing the teacher so excited again, I also observed the bamboo. I was also shocked. Although they are not as experienced as Tao Lao, they also learned bamboo carving from Tao Lao after all. Naturally, he also knows how to do it.
The material of bamboo carving is naturally exquisite, and bamboo carving must first choose good bamboo materials, such as they like to choose winter bamboo in Anhui. In December every year, I go to Huangshan and Jing County in Anhui Province to buy, the age of the bamboo is very particular, and the growth period must reach more than 5 years of bamboo, such bamboo, hardness, color and luster are just right. Before the formal bamboo carving, the bamboo is boiled in boiling water for 3 hours. But this is not enough, and it has to be dried for another two months until the skin of the bamboo turns from blue to amber yellow, and then it can be carved.
For the carving master, the material requirements are higher and more detailed, are carefully selected, a good material, for the carving of the exquisite, beautiful, value, preservation, play a vital role.
Mandarin duck bamboo is such a hard, strong and jade-like bamboo dish used in this dish. It is simply the material that all bamboo carvers dream of, and if it is announced, I believe that all bamboo carving masters will specify this kind of bamboo in the future.
They even have a hard time believing it. Such a superb bamboo should be well-known in the whole world and rank first among all bamboos. It's just marked "King of Ten Thousand Bamboos", how could it be so obscure? If it weren't for the fact that I saw it here today. I don't know yet.
"You two foodies, did you just find out?" Tao Lao was angry and funny.
"This dish is so delicious. I didn't pay attention for a while. Both the freckled girl and the tall young man scratched their heads in embarrassment.
"Mr. Su, do you still have this kind of bamboo?" asked Tao Lao again.
"I also grow some at home. Su Jing said.
"I'm preparing a new work of bamboo carving, I don't know if I can buy a few of these bamboos from you?" Tao Lao said, after finishing speaking, he seemed afraid that Su Jing would not agree, so he hurriedly added, "I will help you repair the few broken chairs and sofas you said, and I will try to help you repair them to perfection, and it is free." ”
"Oh?" Su Jing was stunned, he didn't expect the sexual blessing to come so suddenly, it seems that Tao Lao really likes this kind of bamboo, but for himself, this kind of bamboo is not very precious, and said, "Okay, since you help me repair it for free, then the bamboo will also give you a few for free." ”
"Haha, deal. Tao Lao suddenly smiled, and then said, "I'm really curious, so I take the liberty to ask, since these bamboos are cultivated by your family, then there must be some source, where did they come from?"
Freckled girls and tall young men pricked up their ears, and they also wanted to know the source of this bamboo, if they knew, they must go and get some back, and try to carve it themselves. Moreover, if this kind of bamboo is sold, it should sell very well.
"I bought it from a resident of an old mountain village who set up a stall on the street, and he said that he saw a very special bamboo tree on the mountain, so he dug it up and came to the market to sell fruit tree seedlings, so he brought it with him. I saw that I liked it very much, so I bought it and planted it. Su Jing lied, after all, he couldn't tell them that this was a different time and space bamboo that fell from the Chrono Garbage Station.
"There is such a thing. Tao Lao looked surprised.
"Mr. Su, can you take us to see the bamboo you planted?" said the freckled girl.
"I'm sorry, but my bamboo is planted upstairs, and there are many dangerous animals such as snakes and scorpions in it, so it's inconvenient to show you. Su Jing said that there are many things on the third floor that are not suitable for outsiders to see, except for Shi Qing and his family, no one else has been allowed to enter. Hearing that there were snakes and scorpions, the freckled girls were suddenly a little scared, and Tao Lao and the tall young man were also a little scared, so they didn't ask to see them again.
"Tao Lao, why don't you go to my house to sit down, I'll show you those broken chairs and sofas, and cut a few bamboos for you by the way. Su Jing said that now that he has finished the customer's order, he does not plan to continue cooking.
"Good. Tao Lao couldn't wait to get the bamboo quickly, so he agreed, and Su Jing took Tao Lao, the freckled girl, and the tall young man home, but as soon as he left the store, the customers in the store were not happy.
"Little chef, why are you leaving? I'm about to add some food. ”
"I just came here and haven't ordered yet, but I heard that the three new dishes are all good, and everyone says they are delicious. ”
"Sorry, I had to leave beforehand. Su Jing hurriedly quickened his pace and left. Those customers who were ready to add vegetables regretted for a while, and those who didn't eat it when they first came turned their faces darkened, and their intestines were a little remorseful.
"Third uncle, take this dish back to Sister Yan to eat?" The thin young man looked at the packed mandarin duck and swallowed his saliva.
"Why, haven't you eaten enough? Don't forget that the main purpose of our visit is to bring you Sister Yan a dish made by the little chef god of Qingyun Town. The short and fat middle-aged man glanced at the thin young man who swallowed his saliva and said funny.
"Oh well. The thin young man was a little reluctant, he hadn't eaten enough, but he couldn't forget the business. They left in the car, and then the thin young man took the mandarin duck and bamboo alone and sent it to "Sister Yan". (To be continued.) )
