Chapter 242: Master of Wood Carving

……………………

"Hmm!"

By the time Wang Qiang opened her eyes, the sky outside had already brightened.

Turning his head and looking at Liu Dong, who was still asleep while holding him, Wang Qiang's face showed a gentle smile.

Because he slept a little late last night, Liu Dong got up late again in the morning.

After lying on the bed and waiting for herself to be fully awake, Wang Qiang gently took Liu Dong's arm away from herself, and then, put on her pajamas, stood up, and covered the stall for Liu Dong, tiptoed out of the bedroom, gently closed the door, and after washing, Wang Qiang began to go into the kitchen and make breakfast.

Half an hour later, after the omelette, bread, and milk were all placed on the table, Wang Qiang walked into the bedroom, climbed into bed, and gently patted Liu Dong on the shoulder, "Xiaodong, get up and eat!"

"Yike......!"

In Wang Qiang's exclamation, Liu Dong reached out and pulled her into his arms, and then pressed her under him.

"What are you doing? It's almost time to eat, woo......!"

After a long time, Liu Dong let go of his mouth, looking at Wang Qiang, whose delicate cheeks were covered with peach, and his eyes were misty, the bath-fire in Liu Dong's heart slowly jumped up, and his palm began to go along the seam of his clothes, reaching in, and grabbing the towering that was as smooth as clotted cream.

But before he could continue, he was held down by Wang Qiang.

"Don't make it bad, get up quickly! Otherwise, breakfast should be cold!" Wang Qiang said with a coquettish expression.

"Hehe, it's delicious, I'll eat you first!" Immediately, Liu Dong's body pressed, and the two of them groaned with satisfaction at the same time. Then a fragrant-glamorous show was staged in the morning.

An hour later. I saw that Wang Qiang was extremely tired. Liu Dongcai sprayed the seeds of life.

The clouds and rain stopped, feeling the still strong storage in the body, looking at Liu Dong's still enthusiastic appearance, Wang Qiang sighed helplessly, this one next to him was too strong.

Subsequently, the two took a shower together, and after breakfast, Wang Qiang was left at home. Liu Dong drove her car to the antique city.

When he walked into the gate of Uncle Long's Taiyi Pavilion, the time was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

"Xiaodong, after Uncle Long asked you to come over, go to the second floor to find him!" Seeing Liu Dong coming in, Mu Gang, who happened to be cleaning with an oversized broom, came over.

"I know, Brother Mu, you get busy first, I'll go up!"

After seeing Mu Gang nodding, Liu Dong walked up the stairs upward.

At this moment, in the space on the second floor, in front of the eight round tables, it was already full of people. And when Liu Dong walked up. I happened to see Uncle Long sitting at the round table in the middle at the moment.

Liu Dong's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention because of his age. Compared to the people here, the youngest ones are in their thirties, which is too young.

"Xiaodong, you're here, come here!" At this time, Uncle Long, who was sitting north and facing south, also happened to see Liu Dong coming up from the staircase.

Hearing this, Liu Dong naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked over.

"Uncle Long!"

"Hmm!" After nodding, Old Man Long stood up, and with his movements, the other forty or so people also stood up.

"Everyone, this person next to me is Liu Dong, the successor of Taiyi Pavilion in the future!"

As soon as Old Man Long's voice fell, there was a burst of discussion around him.

Immediately, beside the old man, an old man of about sixty years old, with gray hair but strong spirits and a white face, asked, "Shopkeeper Long, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to retire?"

"Xiaodong, this is Wu Chengqing, Wu Lao, is a famous master of wood carving in our Dongshan Province!"

"Hello Old Wu!"

"Hmm!" the old man simply nodded to Liu Dong, obviously more concerned about the answer to his question.

"Alas, Lao Wu! After so many years, I don't hide it from you, every time I look at your children and grandchildren, Cheng Huan knees, to be honest, I really envy you!"

"I'm also old, and I can see it! No matter how much money I make, I can't bring it with me in life or death, so it's better to take advantage of the last bit of time to enjoy life! So, I don't want to do this Taiyi Pavilion anymore. From now on, I plan to officially hand over the Taiyi Pavilion to Xiaodong in charge!"

"So, Shopkeeper Long, are you planning to go abroad?" Wu Chengqing asked with a frown.

As an old partner who has cooperated with Uncle Long and Taiyi Pavilion for many years, he is also clear about the situation in Uncle Long's family and knows about Uncle Long's son abroad.

"Yes, I'm leaving on the fifteenth of this month, and I don't think I will come back a few times in the future, so I want to arrange the affairs of Taiyi Pavilion during this time!"

"Don't worry, although I'm gone, the Taiyi Pavilion controlled by Xiaodong will be the same as before, or even better than before, you can rest assured!"

Long Lao's words did not completely eliminate everyone's concerns, and Liu Dong's youth also made it impossible to be completely relieved.

And at this time, Liu Dong also realized that he had to say something. After all, although Uncle Long can help him, he can only help him for a while, and he can't help for a lifetime, from today onwards, this Taiyi Pavilion is estimated to need him to control it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Liu Dong, although I will become the shopkeeper of Taiyi Pavilion in the future, but I was also a wood carver like everyone before, and I know the difficulties and difficulties of our industry. Therefore, everyone can rest assured that even if Uncle Long is gone, the share of everyone's works sent to Taiyi Pavilion for sale will not only not be a penny, but from now on, all the wood for everyone to do carving will be provided by Taiyi Pavilion free of charge!"

Hearing this, the discussion of the crowd became louder.

In the past, they used to buy wood from the market by themselves, make finished wood carvings, and then send them to Taiyi Pavilion to sell! Now Liu Dong's new policy will undoubtedly make them not only more trouble-free, but also make more money!

No one will have trouble with money, so as soon as Liu Dong's words fell, he was immediately supported by everyone. For this new shopkeeper, everyone began to slowly accept it.

In fact, even if Liu Dong still maintains the rules of Taiyi Pavilion as before, others will not say anything, after all, although there are many audiences for wood carving now, the price is affected by machine carving works, except for those truly master-level works, the price of other people's works is not too high.

Therefore, they needed the sign of Taiyi Pavilion, a boutique wood carving shop, to make their works sell at a higher price. If there is no Taiyi Pavilion, their income will definitely be affected.

At this time, after Liu Dong's new policy was finished, Uncle Long's face also became a little surprised, it was obvious that he had not thought of Liu Dong's decision in advance.

However, Uncle Long didn't say much, after all, Taiyi Pavilion still needs Liu Dong to control it himself in the future, and this decision, although Taiyi Pavilion's income has been affected to a certain extent, but the impact is not too big, and it is also a good way to disperse part of the profits and gather people's hearts.

"Shopkeeper Long, it seems that the person you are looking for is not bad, he is a good hand at doing business!" The person who said this was the old man who was standing next to Wu Chengqing, who was about the same age as him, and his face was slightly red.

"Hehe, Old Tang, it's not easy to get your compliment!"

"Come to Xiaodong, let me introduce you, this is Tang He Tang, like Old Man Wu, he is a famous wood carving master in our Dongshan Province!"

"Young man, your name is Liu Dong, right?"

"Yes, hello Donald!" the two shook hands.

"You're welcome, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to share their wealth these days! What's even more rare is that you have such a mind at a young age, which is very good!"

"As long as you don't dislike it, I'll follow you in the future, old man!"

Listening to Old Man Tang's words, Liu Dong's face showed a hint of joy, "Old Tang, thank you very much!"

Hearing this, Uncle Long also had a smile on his face, seeing that Liu Dong was recognized by everyone, Uncle Long was also honored!

"Come, Xiaodong! Let me introduce you, this is Kang Junli, Old Man Kang! And this one next to him is Lu Chengen, Old Man Lu! The two of them, like Lao Wu and Lao Tang, are the most famous wood carving masters in our province, and they are also the best wood carving masters in our Taiyi Pavilion! You can't be lazy!"

At this time, Uncle Long pointed to a short and fat old man wearing a white cardigan with a bald head, and an old man next to him who was wearing a very ordinary gray vest, with a short beard on his chin and a thin face.

"Hello Kang Lao!"

"Hello Lu Lao!"

Everyone likes respectful and polite juniors, and several old men are no exception, Liu Dong's just right etiquette makes them feel very comfortable.

So at this moment, the eyes they looked at Liu Dong were not as indifferent as they were at the beginning.

"I heard you say just now that you are also doing wood carving, I don't know what the level is, when you have time, let's have a look!" said the bald Kang Junli at this time.

"Kang Lao, you are too high for me, how can my level of wood carving not be as good as you!

For his own wood carving skills, Liu Dong is deeply confident, compared to the jade carving that is purely groping for his own progress, under the guidance of Uncle Long, Liu Dong's wood carving skills have progressed very quickly, and after gaining the ability during this time, his eyesight and control of the strength are more pure and pure, and the wood carving skills have reached a higher level. I believe that even if it is not as good as these old craftsmen who have been immersed in wood carving all their lives, the difference is not too much.

Moreover, the reason why Liu Dong agreed to consult with Mr. Kang was that he understood that compared to other woodcarving masters who were more attracted in terms of money, if they wanted to truly convince these four top woodcarving masters, they must show enough woodcarving skills, even if they are not as good as them, they must have the potential to surpass them, and only in this way can they truly recognize themselves.
