Chapter 85: Old Ancestral Mountain, Omen!
No matter what it is, seeing the big from the small is often a test of skill. Nuclear carvings, seals, fan paintings, all of them are like this. Those who can carve on bamboo pipes must be highly skilled masters.
After such a master retires, he is not willing to be idle at home, but chooses to be re-employed, which is very inspiring.
Qi Xiang had a little more respect in his heart, and he had more confidence in this trip.
At this time, the shopkeeper Wu was drinking tea and asked casually: "By the way, cousin, who came to find the old uncle and what to do?" ”
Wu's shopkeeper's cousin, his expression suddenly became a little more weird, and he said truthfully: "It's a very beautiful girl, she asked the old man to help make a pair of mahjong." ”
"Mahjong?" Shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, somewhat unexpectedly.
"That's right." The cousin nodded and said, "Bamboo mahjong, and then paint some portraits on the card, which requires very fine." The old man estimated that it would take at least one or two months to complete the task after taking this job. ”
"That's good." Shopkeeper Wu said happily: "Slow work and careful work, the longer the time, the reward must be a lot." ”
"That beautiful girl, she is very generous." The cousin smiled: "Give a deposit of 100,000 yuan first, and when the mahjong is made, pay 200,000 more, a total of 300,000!" ”
"Tsk!"
Shopkeeper Wu suddenly exclaimed: "300,000? ”
"That's right, it's 300,000, the price she took the initiative to quote." The cousin also sighed with emotion: "We also saw at the time that the girl must be Bai Fumei, who is not deeply involved in the world and has a thick net worth, and has little understanding of the price market." ”
"300,000, not to mention bamboo mahjong, even if it is inlaid with gold, it can be customized."
The cousin shook his head, but he was very happy: "This is also a windfall, there is no reason to push it out, so under our persuasion, the old man agreed." ”
"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but nodded: "Such a good thing can't be encountered once in a few years, why refuse?" Although this matter is a bit cumbersome, it is not difficult for the old uncle. ”
"Well, that's what the old man thinks too." The cousin agreed: "So I took the beautiful girl to the mountain to select materials, after all, people have given enough money, and you can't just do things perfunctory......"
"That's, that's." Shopkeeper Wu understands very well.
After a little thought, you can understand that even if the other party is not bad for money, you can't fool people because of this. Because people who are not bad for money, especially the rich second generation and the like, have been exposed to high-end things since they were young, and their vision must be very high.
If the mahjong is well-made and meets the expected standards, then the other party will definitely not skimp on money. On the other hand, it is a joke to take a pair of crudely made things and present them in the hope that the other person will be satisfied.
A penny, a penny, this is called fair and reasonable.
"Then in the next period of time, won't the old uncle be very busy."
Suddenly, Shopkeeper Wu frowned, and couldn't help but glance at Qi Xiang.
"Busy, for sure." The cousin was also clever, and said, "Big cousin, when you come here this time, is there anything for the old man to help?" ”
"This ......" Shopkeeper Wu hesitated, didn't hide it, and pointed at Qi Xiang and said, "Cousin, you're right, I did have something to do with this time." But it's not my own business, it's his ......."
"He's my friend, and he's asked to customize a pen!"
Shopkeeper Wu explained: "That pen should have some special requirements, so I brought him over." I didn't expect it to be so unfortunate......"
"Custom pens?" The cousin was stunned: "This thing is simple, you just need to find the master in the factory to do it, why bother the old man to do it?" ”
"I think so too." Shopkeeper Wu turned his head and said, "Xiao Qi, look at this matter......"
Qi Xiang's eyebrows were lightly locked, and before he could answer, he was caught off guard by a thunderous explosion.
"Boom!"
Thunder and lightning flashed, and the wind and clouds changed.
Just now it was still blue and white, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and black clouds covered the sky, and from time to time you could see the lightning like swimming snakes.
As soon as the thunder sounded, the raindrops the size of beans quietly fluttered and sprinkled.
The rain fell on the eaves and hit a banana leaf outside the door, like a general's order.
"On a June day, a child's face changes when it is said to be ......"
Shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, completely forgetting what he wanted to say, and after shuddering in the thunder, he suddenly exclaimed: "Cousin, uncle, they are still on the mountain, do you have an umbrella?" ”
"If you go out in a hurry, you will bring an umbrella." The cousin shook his head and said calmly: "It's okay, there are many bamboo forests on the mountain, and the old man has more experience than us, as long as you drill into the bamboo forest, you can't get him." ”
"You're stupid!" Shopkeeper Wu reprimanded, hating iron and steel: "If it's just the old uncle, then it doesn't matter what." But he's still bringing guests, do you want them to get drenched in the rain? ”
"Ah......" The cousin suddenly woke up: "By the way, that beautiful girl, her body and bones look very delicate, she really can't get cold in the rain, otherwise it will definitely be very troublesome." ”
"Then what are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and bring an umbrella up the mountain to find someone." Shopkeeper Wu shouted, or he doesn't know any craft, but in terms of human feelings, he definitely throws his cousin a few streets.
Under his lesson, my cousin woke up from a dream and hurriedly ran back to the house to find an umbrella.
"Big cousin, I'm out."
After a while, my cousin came out with seven or eight large umbrellas under his arms and a raincoat. He said hello and was about to rush into the rain, but was stopped by Shopkeeper Wu.
"Wait, I'll go too." Shopkeeper Wu said: "You take so many things, it's easy to fall, I'll help you ......"
"Oh." The cousin hurriedly divided half of the umbrella in his hand to the shopkeeper Wu, which was much easier.
"Let's go......" Shopkeeper Wu held an umbrella and walked directly into the rain, then he thought of Qi Xiang, his footsteps stopped, and he turned around and hesitated: "Xiao Qi, otherwise, you will also go with us?" Everyone has a response. ”
Leaving an outsider at home is somewhat unsafe.
Qi Xiang also understood Wu's concerns, smiled calmly at the moment, and did not refuse: "Okay." ”
After a few moments, the three of them left the house with umbrellas.
At this time, the heavy rain is pouring and the white mist is filled, and it is connected up and down the mountain. Between the smoke and rain, the green mountains and green waters loom, very ethereal, like a fairyland on earth.
Qi Xiang followed behind the two of them, following in the same direction, shuttling through a sparse bamboo forest.
The continuous heavy rain, under the shelter of the bamboo forest, slowed down and turned into a dripping elephant. The three of them walked all the way, except for the clothes that were wet with rain and dew at the corners of their pants, their clothes had no effect, and they were still dry and tidy.
On the mountain, the shopkeeper Wu asked, "Cousin, where did the old uncle go?" ”
Around the village, there are vast mountains and a sea of bamboos. Outsiders come here, and if they are not familiar with the terrain, it is easy to get lost. Shopkeeper Wu had suffered such a loss, and he would definitely not dare to go around commanding.
The cousin thought about it for a while, and then smiled: "I think the old man should have taken someone to the Old Ancestral Mountain." ”
"Old Ancestral Mountain?" Shopkeeper Wu blinked his eyes and nodded suddenly: "It makes sense, the quality of the bamboo on Lao Zu Mountain is the best among the hundreds of miles of bamboo in the sea of bamboo." ”
"yes." The cousin sighed: "It's a pity that most of the bamboos on the ancestral mountain are old bamboos that are not of great use, but there are relatively few new bamboos that have become mature. ”
"It's okay to say, if you find Hsinchu, I'm afraid you will cut it down as soon as possible." Shopkeeper Wu squinted and said: "You guys are killing chickens to get eggs, and you blame chickens for not laying eggs." ”
"Hehe......" The cousin didn't say much, and immediately led the way.
After walking through several undulating hills, at the suggestion of his cousin, Qi Xiang also saw the so-called Old Ancestral Mountain.
The mountain of Laozu Mountain is not high, and it rises slightly in the flat land, and it looks like a big bun from a distance. On the mountain, large swaths of bamboo crisscross each other, and the branches are like mountain vines, entangled and coiled with each other, intricately intertwined.
Getting closer, Qi Xiang also noticed that the bamboos on the mountain, the bamboo stems, bamboo branches and leaves, are all dark yellow, and the distance between the bamboo knots and the bamboo knots is very close, all of them are rough and clumsy forms, and they are really old bamboos that are not of great use.
The bamboo quality of old bamboo is relatively semi-dry and dry, lacks sufficient flexibility, and is easy to explode and crack, so it is not suitable for making handicrafts. However, when the old bamboo draws new branches, the quality of the new branches is better than that of ordinary bamboo.
That's why the old uncle of the shopkeeper Wu will bring people here to select materials.
However, the old ancestral mountain is relatively vast, and the old bamboos with interlaced teeth cover the entire mountain. The three of them were outside the mountain, and it was difficult to determine where the group was hiding from the rain.
The cousin suddenly opened his voice and shouted, "Old man......"
"Boom!"
The people did not respond, but there was a huge lightning in the sky, and the nine heavens thundered, and there was an explosion, as if the heavens and the earth were shaken, which made everyone's hearts tremble, and their bodies couldn't help shrinking.
The cousin was so frightened that he didn't dare to scream, his face turned pale, and when the thunder and lightning passed, he whispered, "Otherwise, let's go into the mountains to find out?" ”
"Then look for it." Shopkeeper Wu has no opinion, and Qi Xiang will not object.
The three of them went up the mountain and stepped into the lush bamboo sea.
At this moment, Qi Xiang's eyebrows moved, and he suddenly noticed some unusual aura. He looked around and saw that in the bamboo sea, the dense branches and roots were connected together, intertwined like hemp, like a natural labyrinth, and there was no way out in sight.
However, my cousin was very familiar with the situation here, and he led the two of them along a narrow sheep intestine path and slowly went deep into the interior of Zhuhai......
The deeper you go, the more intense the obscure atmosphere becomes.
Qi Xiang observed intently, but felt that the obscure breath was floating and looming, like the trajectory of the wind and the flow marks of water, which was difficult to grasp accurately.
"Is that feeling?"
Qi Xiang Lingsheng flutters, spreading in the air, wanting to blend into the environment and discover the mysteries within.
At this moment, his heart contracted violently, as if sensing some kind of sign, so that the tendons on his forehead burst out, cold sweat poured out like rain, and he was panicked......
