Chapter 59: The Eighth Master

Yesterday, Ye Jingting chatted with Sister Lin for more than three hours. When Li Chen got up the next day, his mind was still buzzing, which was very powerful.

At nine o'clock, Li Chen went directly to the eighth master, he had a new house there that had been empty, and Li Chen planned to rent it with him for Brother Zhang and them to live in.

Li Chen's eighth master is a hunter who moved over from other places more than 30 years ago, his name is Zhang Changhong, and he has the same surname as Brother Zhang. At that time, he walked to Dingzhu Village with a child in his arms, and the villagers looked pitiful and left him behind.

Later, I don't know how to deal with it, his household registration entered Dingzhu Village and became a member of the village, and the village gave him a few acres of farmland, but he also lived with peace of mind.

However, a few years ago, he was hit by a wild boar because of hunting, and his right foot was lame, and the hound was also trampled to death. Ever since he was lame, he has been taking pleasure in carving.

As for this new house, Zhang Xueliang, the son of the eighth master, went home to build it after breaking out a small piece of the world outside! I originally wanted to take the eighth master out to live, but the eighth master refused, and even the built house did not live, and he has been living in the old house. According to what he said, people are old and not used to living in these houses, but they are still accustomed to living in old houses.

His son knew his temper, so he followed him, and brought his daughter-in-law back to see the eighth master every year during the New Year's holiday.

Zhang Xueliang originally wanted to give back to the village, but his company had just started and his working capital was not rich, so he had to retreat and recruit some unemployed young people from the village to come over and assign them some easy and unskilled jobs to do.

When he came to the eighth house, he found that he was carefully carving a camphor tree with a diameter of more than one meter in the yard.

Li Chen didn't speak after entering, just watched quietly from the side, so as not to disturb the carving of the eighth master.

It is said that this big trunk was specially purchased by the eighth master at the request of his son Zhang Xueliang.

This is the first time that the old man has taken the initiative to ask him to do something, and Zhang Xueliang naturally does not dare to take it lightly and goes to find it in person.

However, the trees requested by the eighth master were too difficult to find, and they couldn't find it after looking for half a month.

Fortunately, once looking for information on the Internet, I happened to see someone posting a dead camphor tree, Zhang Xueliang was naturally ecstatic, and contacted the owner of the camphor tree as soon as possible.

When I rushed over, there was another person who also wanted to buy this century-old camphor tree, which was originally only worth 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, but Zhang Xueliang bid for 100,000 yuan before buying it.

Maybe you will be treated as a fool and wronged, but I'm glad that money is hard to buy, isn't it!

After buying it back, he was praised by the eighth master on the shoulder, Zhang Xueliang's nose was sour at that time, and he almost cried, you must know that since elementary school, he has not been praised by his father! Moreover, isn't it right for a son to be filial to Lao Tzu!

The eighth master carved the whole picture of Dingzhu Village, and now the general whole has been carved, and the rest is the fine work! That is the carving details, in order to carve the details of a place, and even go to that place to observe over and over again.

Li Chen didn't feel impatient, but looked at it with interest.

To be honest, the fourth uncle's carving skills are not very good, judging from the things he carved before, you can feel it. But as long as you carve it carefully, the work can be expressive!

After more than ten minutes passed, the eighth master put down the carving knife, turned to look at Li Chen, who was quietly waiting next to him, and said:

"It's Xiao Chen, what kind of wind is blowing over today!"

"Eighth master, it's still your old man's discernment, and you know at a glance that I have something to do with you. Li Chen picked up the water cup placed next to him and handed it to the eighth master.

The eighth master said while drinking water: "Come on, since you grew up, you rarely come to beg for candy to eat." What's more, now that you're the village chief, it's okay, will you come over?"

Li Chen was said with embarrassment, although it is true, but you can't be so straightforward!

Fortunately, Li Chen knew that this was not the Eighth Master deliberately demolishing the stage, but that other people's personalities were like this, straightforward, and he couldn't listen to other people's words in twists and turns.

Li Chen remembered that when he was a child, he often came to the eighth master with his friends in the village to beg for candy, and the eighth master was also prepared, every time he came, he could grab a handful of candy from his clothes pocket!

The eighth master's words made Li Chen automatically make up for it, and a person in his twenties jumped up and down in front of the eighth master, stretched out his hand and said sweetly: "Eighth master, I want sugar candy", and there was a chill all over his body.

"Eighth master, isn't this growing up, and I still come to ask you for sugar, which is unreasonable. ”

"Come on, what's wrong with growing up, I think it's because I've been in the flower world outside for a long time, and I can't look down on these little candies in our family. "After the eighth master heard Li Chen's words, he said with a look of 'contempt' for you.

"How is that possible! The eighth master is the best for me. Li Chen took the cup from which the eighth master drank the water and said.

Li Chen felt that this topic could not be talked about anymore, and the more he talked, the more heartwarming he became. So, change the subject:

"Eighth Master, I really came to you today to find something that I need your help with, so you can say whether you can help or not. ”

"What are you being polite to me, tell me, what's the matter. ”

"That's right, don't you always have an empty house that has been empty, you didn't want to run a homestay when you first set up a homestay, you see if you can rent it to me. Li Chen even said and spit out his intentions with a gesture.

"I don't lack that money now, and I'm still worried about running a homestay, so I'm looking for guilt. The eighth master glanced at Li Chen.

"But then again, why do you want to rent that house? If you want to live, just go and tell me to rent? ”

"That's right, I recognized a younger sister, her name is Zhang Xiyi。。。。。 That's why I want to rent a house with you. Li Chen explained the matter roughly.

"Well, if you want to live, you can live, anyway, the house is empty and you are raising mosquitoes! However, I don't care about the problem of food and shelter to solve it by myself. The eighth master waved his hand and agreed, he was still very relieved about Li Chen's character.

"Well, you see, how about two thousand a month in rent. This is the price that Li Chen gave after careful consideration before he came.

"Come on, you're still polite to me, aren't you?

How could Li Chen agree, "No, Eighth Master, I know that you are good to me, but this matter is one yard to the next, if you don't want the rent, I will be even more troubled." ”

The eighth master looked at Li Chen's firm eyes, and said directly: "Whatever you want, I know that you are not short of that money, I heard that you also raised a pond 'golden pimple', I have to take a look when I have time." ”

"Old man, do you want me to fish a few for you to raise!"

The eighth master glanced at him when he heard Li Chen's words, "Come on, old man, I can't afford to raise this thing, thieves are expensive, and I don't have a hobby of raising fish." ”

"Well, when do you want to raise, say it, and I promise to catch a few of the most spiritual ones for you. ”

"I'm not interested in fish, but those dozen or so dogs of yours are good!"

Li Chen knew that the eighth master, as a hunter, valued dogs the most!
