In order to divert Tong Lao's attention, Qiu Lin took out the white jade Buddha statue and said, "Tong Lao, are you looking at the Buddha statue a little different?" ”

Tong Lao's attention was immediately diverted to the white jade Buddha statue, and after looking at it twice, he said, "Boy, don't move, I'll come back immediately!" With that, he ran away like a gust of wind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them were dumbfounded, Qiu Lin shook his head for a long time, and Zhu Xiaoli said, "How can there be such a grandmaster?" It can't be fake, right? ”

Xiao Chen also said: "Well, in my impression, a grandmaster-level character should be like Zhang Sanfeng!" ”

Qiu Lin said: "I don't know how a person with such a character became a grandmaster, but the grandmaster is not exactly a character of the fairy wind and bones, and the greater the achievements of many people, the more strange their temper becomes." But Chen Lao and Wu Lao both said that Tong Lao is a grandmaster, and it won't be wrong to think about it! ”

After a pause, Qiu Lin said again: "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to buy you a gift, but now I met Tong Lao, so ......"

Xiao Chen said: "No need to apologize, we just saved money!" ”

Zhu Xiaoli said: "Then how can it be done?" When I meet such a grandmaster, I have to buy a lot of things to vent my hatred, and I have to pay for it from the class leader! Then he said gloomily: "Forget it today, it will definitely be late later." But tomorrow the squad leader, you must help us bet on two pieces of imperial green jade, they all say that you are very good! ”

Qiu Lin smiled bitterly, although he had precious eyes, he was not sure that there would be imperial green jade in Pingzhou.

Xiao Chen said: "How can the imperial green jade be so easy to bet on!" When the time comes, just buy something cut out by others as a souvenir! ”

Zhu Xiaoli said: "Big orange, you haven't married the squad leader yet, so it's protected?" Gee! ”

Xiao Chen hurriedly said: "How can there be?" ”

As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, Tong Lao came in with a pot of wind and fire, and said: "Quick, I don't know how to help the old man, uneducated guy!" ”

The latter sentence is obviously for Zhu Xiaoli to hear.

Zhu Xiaoli immediately jumped up and said, "Who is uneducated, you can make it clear?" ”

Tong Lao's eyes were glaring, and whoever answered would say whomever he answered.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Qiu Lin hurriedly gave Xiao Chen a look, Xiao Chen pulled Zhu Xiaoli, who was going to quarrel again, Qiu Lin took Tong Lao's hand and said: "Tong Lao, come and see what is going on with this Buddha statue, I just looked like it was done by someone, your old man is experienced, see if the younger generation is wrong!" ”

As soon as it came to the Buddha statue, Tong Lao immediately put aside the grievances with Zhu Xiaoli and said: "Count your kid a little eyesight, this Buddha statue has been covered up by someone on the surface!" ”

Qiu Lin's eyes lit up and said, "You mean you have a way to remove the disguise on the surface?" ”

Tong Lao said: "Carving insect skills, I only need to use a little means to catch it!" ”

Qiu Lin flattered: "You are really tall!" ”

Tong Lao said with a smile: "That's it, two stories high!" Glancing at Zhu Xiaoli and said: "Unlike some people, they don't even understand basic respect for the elderly, hum!" ”

Zhu Xiaoli became angry when he heard what he said, and said, "Dead old man, who are you talking about?" ”

Qiu Lin hurriedly grabbed the two people who wanted to be on the bar again, and said secretly in his heart: I would not have followed him if I had known, and Chen Lao had never told him that Tong Lao was a person who held grudges!

Xiao Chen said: "Then please show your skills and return the true face of this Buddha statue!" ”

Tong Lao glanced at Zhu Xiaoli proudly and said, "Hmph, I won't worry about you for the time being, and I'll talk about it when I show my skills and get this Buddha statue ready!" ”

Xiao Chen hurriedly stopped Zhu Xiaoli, who was going to continue arguing, if the two continued to quarrel, they might not be able to solve this matter if they continued to quarrel until it was dark, and then comforted Zhu Xiaoli in a low voice.

Qiu Lin watched every step of Tong Lao and kept it in his heart, and the next time he encountered this situation, if there was no such knowledgeable person around him, he could handle it himself.

Tong Lao saw that Qiu Lin had a strong desire to learn, so he explained every step very clearly, including what was used, and what was the purpose of using these to tell Qiu Lin together. In fact, according to the rules of the industry, these are only taught when the master teaches the apprentice, if others want to learn but can't learn, but the society has developed to the present, many crafts have not been inherited, so many craftsmen have met a little qualified young people, as long as he is willing to learn, the old craftsman will teach with his heart, and he doesn't want to pass on his ancestral craftsmanship.

One taught seriously and the other learned seriously, and soon more than half an hour passed. Just when Xiao Chen and Zhu Xiaoli were waiting impatiently, Tong Lao shouted softly, "Okay!" ”

The two couldn't help but lean their heads over, only to see that the white jade Buddha statue that had been treated by Tong Lao no longer had the shining jade color that it had at the beginning, but instead it was a restrained one that brought people a peaceful white, pure white, which made people feel that this was a real Buddha statue at a glance.

In Qiu Lin's opinion, the Buddha statue that Tong Lao handled was reborn as if the Buddha had been reborn, lifelike, and now it can be determined whether the jade of this Buddha statue is a real mutton fat white jade or the top one, with high oily density, and it is an object with a wide door at a glance.

But Xiao Chen and Zhu Xiaoli couldn't see any doorways, but they just felt that it was much better than the previous bright white.

Zhu Xiaoli looked at Tong Lao and said, "Can't you think that you are a bad old man and have two brushes!" ”

Tong Lao said proudly: "How is it? Shocked by the old man's ability to turn decay into magic, right? Do you want to learn? ”

Zhu Xiaoli showed a look of hope, but Tong Lao continued: "It's a pity that I won't teach you, hahahaha!" ”

Zhu Xiaoli looked at the proud Tong Lao and said: "If you don't teach, you won't teach, what's so rare, this thing can't be eaten and can't find a good job, this aunt and grandmother are not rare!" ”

After listening to Zhu Xiaoli's words, Tong Lao's originally happy mood disappeared all of a sudden, and he sat in his seat in a daze, even the white jade Buddha statue that he had just made hadn't been properly admired!

Tong Lao is already in his sixties and almost seventy, and people should be very open to everything at this age, but some things are becoming more and more unbearable. Tong Lao already has four disciples, and his grades are not bad, the best disciple already has his seven-point ability, you must know that with the seven-point ability of a grandmaster-level figure like Tong Lao, he can also be regarded as a master in the jade carving world, but such a disciple still can't satisfy Tong Lao, because he hasn't found a disciple who can inherit his mantle until now. There are many things that the master can learn if he wants to teach the apprentice, and it is very important to inherit the master in the jade carving world, but the apprentice is even more important. After all, the master is there, and there is still an apprentice, but the apprentice is not something that can be found casually.

Nowadays, the social development is too fast, not many people can calm down and learn a craft from an early age, more is to choose emerging technologies close to social development, like this old craft needs to understand and need to learn from an early age, which is a very harsh condition for modern people, and after twenty or thirty years of study, others have already started a family and started a business, you are still an apprentice, so there is basically no choice to learn the old craft.

Learning jade carving requires a certain amount of understanding, but also ingenuity, in line with these two things are not many but not difficult to find. However, it is difficult to find someone who is willing to learn and can get the consent of his family, and some masters cannot find such an apprentice in their lifetime.

Tong Lao is like this, and even more so, he has a strange temper that few people can stand it, so finding an apprentice who can inherit the mantle has always been a pain in his heart.

On the one hand, it is difficult to find apprentices with high understanding, and on the other hand, Chen Lao's identity is destined to make the disciples he is looking for must pass all aspects of his personality and character. Therefore, although Chen Lao was very satisfied with Qiu Lin, he still did not let him apprentice, but kept testing him.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Lin understood the reason for Tong Lao's situation, but Qiu Lin really couldn't help with this kind of thing. Zhu Xiaoli saw that Tong Lao was depressed, and he was also blaming himself for not going too far, treating an old man like this.

Zhu Xiaoli said cautiously: "Old man Tong, are you angry?" Actually, I didn't mean to, okay, I apologize to you, it's my fault, don't you get angry, okay? ”

Tong Lao sighed and said, "Female doll, it has nothing to do with you!" ”

Qiu Lin explained to Xiao Chen and Zhu Xiaoli in a low voice the reason for Xia Tonglao's low mood. After listening to Qiu Lin's explanation, Xiao Chen asked, "Is there no solution?" ”

Qiu Lin said: "In terms of the current trend of social development, there is none, and more and more old crafts in our country will be lost, so that they can only be found on pieces of paper." Speaking of which, Qiu Lin was also a little disappointed, but after all, Qiu Lin had only come into contact with this industry, so he didn't feel very deeply.

Xiao Chen said: "Then can't you be a disciple of Tong Lao and pass on this craft?" ”

Qiu Lin smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid not, first, I am ready to worship Chen Lao as a teacher, you know that the relationship between teachers and teachers in this industry is very important; The second is that even if we don't mind this kind of behavior of worshipping the second teacher, I myself am past the age of studying, and I am afraid that I will not learn much if I go to study now; The third is that it is only possible if I can reach the level of ingenuity and understanding! ”

Knowing the complexity of this matter, Xiao Chen didn't ask any more. But a seed was planted in Xiao Chen's heart.

Instead, Zhu Xiaoli said: "Hey, old man Tong, if you really can't find someone to inherit your mantle, it's better to hand over your skills to me, and my aunt and grandmother will definitely carry her forward!" ”

Hearing Zhu Xiaoli's words, Tong Lao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that the old man doesn't want to teach you, just now you also heard that kid's words, you should be able to understand the harshness, and the boredom of learning jade carving is not something that ordinary people can bear!" ”

Zhu Xiaoli said: "Isn't it just to suffer a little, what's so great, my aunt and grandmother can eat any hardship!" ”

Tong Lao still shook his head, Qiu Lin heard Zhu Xiaoli's words, but his heart moved, and he glanced at Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen nodded.

Qiu Lin said: "Tong Lao, maybe you can let Xiao Li give it a try!" ”
