Chapter 67: The Craftsman Dominated by Fame and Fortune
Work in a quiet environment and do more with less.
In front of the shadow wall were all kinds of tools and herringbone ladders, and he could repair any position at any time he wanted.
In this brick carving, four of the nine cranes have damaged crane eyes, some of the eyeballs are drooping and broken, and some of the eyeballs will simply fall at any time.
Every time the carving knife is raised and swung, a crane's eye is gouged out.
As expected, all of them have the same needle eye in the same part, and what Xiao Zining has to do is to repeat the connection and installation.
But even so, he didn't dare to take anything lightly.
Because he understands better than anyone else that if he accidentally drops his crane eye, he will lose everything. If the crane eye is damaged, what else is going on?
Minutes and seconds passed.
The crane's eyes become dazzling in the crumbling and falling, and the eyes are the windows of the soul, which is perfectly displayed in the crane.
Even the crane's wings and crane neck are still full of cracks, but with the agility of the crane's eyes, the signs of decadence and decay of the Yuanbei miraculously disappear, replaced by a vigorous vitality.
When the last crane eye was repaired, Xiao Zining was finally able to exhale heavily, jumped down from the herringbone ladder, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said to Gu Dongjia who was full of joy.
"Grandpa Gu, your family's cranes are now back from the dead, and all that remains to do is to make them all come alive. ”
"It's amazing!"
Seeing the smart eyes of these cranes, Gu Dongjia could still hold back the joy in his heart, stepped forward excitedly, couldn't help but touch the shadow wall, and said quite excitedly: "Zining, you really have a hand, you really brought them all to life! Okay, don't say anything, let's go to lunch first, the world is big, and the meal is the biggest!"
……
In a teahouse outside the Gu family's compound.
Chen Liubei was like an ant on a hot pot, constantly walking back and forth, his face full of anxiety.
He never dreamed that a young man who seemed to be milky and undried would really be able to repair the pine crane longevity map.
What made him even more anxious was that there was no way to observe Xiao Zining's repair technique now.
This is absolute suppression in the professional field.
With this repression comes a worrying future.
As a well-known restorer in Baique City, although Chen Liubei can also restore other antique objects, the source of real profit is the Gu family compound.
For example, as we all know, whether it is a gable or a gatehouse in the Gu family compound, there are cracks in those brick carvings, which need to be repaired routinely.
This is only the periphery, there are also many brick carvings in the Gu family compound, which need to be maintained regularly.
If Xiao Zining repaired the Songhe longevity chart, wouldn't it mean that his fixed income source would be in vain!
Losing this business, Chen Liubei lost not only money, but also social status.
A restorer who can't use the Gu family as a capital when he is bragging about it outside will not be valued by the celebrities of Baique City.
Money is lost, reputation is ruined!
Fame and fortune turn into fame and fortune!
Just thinking about that kind of picture, Chen Liubei was anxious and upset.
At this moment, he suddenly slapped his head and said with a face full of remorse: "Hey, I'm really a fan of the authorities, why was I blindfolded by that guy!
"What about crane wings, crane necks, green pines, and waterfalls? Do they all have brick needles? No, absolutely impossible. If he didn't have these parts, how could he repair them? He must have made a false shot there, trying to compete with me for the Gu family's compound to repair the qualifications. Nima, who has played with eagles all her life, was almost pecked blind by an eagle. ”
As if sobering up from his anxiety, Chen Liubei asked himself to find a solution to the problem, and the previous anxiety began to dissipate, and his face became normal and peaceful.
His eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth raised and sneered: "The Gu family is not something I can offend, but the Gu family can't offend all the restorers either." So Gu Lao, if I take all the restorers to the Gu family compound to expose that guy's hypocritical face, you can't blame me, right?"
"As the saying goes, the law doesn't blame the public! Besides, you have to rely on us to repair the brick carvings for you. That's right, just do it!"
In order to avoid the possible defeat of fame and fortune, Chen Liubei took out his mobile phone and began to call friends.
……
Gu family compound.
Unlike Chen's meticulous thinking, lunch here is simple but grand.
Whether it's a welcome luncheon or a thank-you luncheon, in short, the meal is a joy for both the guests and the host.
After lunch, Xiao Zining was ready to repair the shadow wall, but in the past, he suddenly said to Gu Dongjia: "Grandpa Gu, before coming over, my grandfather once said that if he could, he would like to record the whole restoration process, I don't know if it is convenient for you here?"
"Oh, no problem, shoot if you want. ”
Gu Dongjia took a sip of hot tea and said gently: "Although this shadow wall is said to be owned by my Gu family's compound, there are many people in Baique City who have seen it with their own eyes, and when it comes to filming video materials for publicity, it is even more commonplace. So it's not a secret that you can shoot a video of this brick carving. ”
"Okay, then I'll thank you. Xiao Zining said and beckoned Chen Yiwen and Su Wanqing, he had to repair, and the filming work would be handed over to the two of them.
"You go first, I'll be there in a minute. Gu Dongjia smiled kindly.
When only the Gu family was left in the restaurant, Gu Xileng frowned a little puzzled, "Dad, are you too polite to this Xiao Zining?
"Shut up!"
When Gu Dongjia heard this kind of brainless words, he immediately scolded in a fierce voice: "I am kind to Xiao Zining because he is my old friend and my junior, shouldn't it be like this?"
"Compare your heart to your heart, if you go to my old friend and get leftovers, will you feel comfortable? Not to mention that people are coming here to repair the shadow wall of our Gu family, and they are here to help us, what's wrong with being polite and kind? Is it a shame?"
Gu Xi was trembling and didn't dare to speak.
"You!"
Gu Dongjia shook his head with hatred that iron is not steel, and said with a sigh: "I have told you more than once that the brick carving of the shadow wall is mysterious, and it is related to the luck of our Gu family. ”
"You can choose not to believe, but learn to respect. If you don't respect the shadow wall, you will desecrate the luck of the Gu family, and it will bring disaster to the Gu family. ”
"Do you understand these truths? Do you understand what it means to the Gu family if the shadow wall is damaged, if it is destroyed? What does Xiao Zining, who can repair the pine crane longevity map, mean to the Gu family?"
