Chapter 48: A Thinking Wood Carving
After taking a look, Xiao Zhi found that Zhu Zizhang was right, the dragon whiskers on the dragon carving were really misplaced, and they looked very deformed.
Xiao Zhi inadvertently snatched the dragon eagle too much, making Zhu Zizhang think it was a robbery, seeing that his hands were still full of grease, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and his face sank outside the house.
When he came back after a while, Bamboo Zhang's hands were already clean, and like Han Chong, he was even more careful to take care of Ash's younger brother sometimes.
Ash sighed, squatting on the floor like a child making a mistake and drooping his face, and Zhu Zizhang saw the oil stains on the dragon's beard, which was very unpleasant.
Zhu Zizhang: "Otherwise, I'll take it to wash it for you, maybe it's not so dirty in the sun?" ”
Ash didn't respond.
Zhu Zizhang was a little anxious: "Why don't I buy you wood again, this wood is Nanmu, hey, the monthly salary......"
Zhu Zizhang felt uncomfortable that he was not cautious, and Ash raised his head.
Ash: "Brother, do you think it's really useful for me to make this thing?" I'm so unconfident now......"
I see, Bamboo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Ash was not uncomfortable because of the dragon carving stains on his own oil, but seeing Ash like this, Bamboo Zhang didn't have many ideas, and then squatted next to Ash.
Zhu Zizhang: "Xing Xu...... As soon as the dragon's whiskers are pried, it will be better to stick it to the back? ”
"It's not a dragon's beard, even if I put it on."
"Which one?"
"Do you think the unlucky thing can be sold? I've been doing it for so long, and I'm not like four. ”
For ordinary people, it is not easy to insist on having perseverance to do something, Zhu Zizhang carefully looked at the dragon carving, and found that there are still some merits. For example, the scales of Longbei Mountain are very delicate, partial and lumpy, with different shades and obvious layers. The finishing touch is really on the eyes, so that the dragon is not angry but mighty, and it is bright.
If you can continue to process, it will not be an ordinary product! Even if Zhu Zizhang doesn't understand a trace of art, he can see Ash's talent and ability in carving.
Zhu Zizhang: "There's nothing wrong with that...... If you want me to say, I promise! Someone must be willing to keep it in good hands. ”
Ash pursed his lips and smiled.
Ash: "If that's the case, it looks like it's the end of the road." ”
Mu Ne's expression appeared on Zhuzizhang's face, and Xiao Zhi's mind was really unpredictable, one out and one out.
Ash: "Our identity, how can we have any chance to contact the landlord of the collection, at most it is the same as us, can you like this thing?" ”
Bamboo jumped to his feet and stood up directly, with a lot of movement.
Ash was puzzled: "What's the situation?" ”
Thinking of his low status, Zhu Zizhang finally got the status and praise in the back kitchen, and this spirit was extinguished for the first time, which made him very uncomfortable.
But Zhu Zizhang didn't know how to hide this emotion, so he had to hide his mood.
Zhu Zizhang: "How can there be...... How can anyone belittle themselves so much, how much gold have you taken, rich man! ”
Talking and talking, there was a sour smell in Zhu Zizhang's words, and last time Luo Gan brought Xiao Zhi and Han Chong to participate in the competition, but Zhu Zi Zhang was missing.
In fact, the number of applicants is indeed three, and it is very appropriate to come and go, plus the bamboo is sandwiched in the middle, and it is not the same thing in my heart. loves his brother, but when he meets Rogan, things are not so pleasant.
Xiao Zhi spread his hands, took the wood one by one and put it in front of Zhu Zizhang, who didn't quite understand what he meant.
Ash: "This is worth one tael of gold, and that costs two taels of gold...... The money is here. ”
Zhu Zizhang took the wood in surprise, and his expression changed from puzzled to angry: "Ash, you said that all the money is ...... Spent on this? ”
Ash nodded in frustration.
"What do you think? Fail...... Ay! Bamboo Zhang was stunned to retract the "loser thing" back into his throat, he knew that it was not something he could say, and he was even more afraid of hurting Ash's self-esteem.
Grievances, sadness, and confusion suddenly poured into Ash's thoughts, hugging his head and crying.
Ash: "I thought ...... I thought...... If you do well, you can sell it and make more money......"
The voice choked up many times, it seemed that what he said was true, but he was just confused, Zhu Zizhang began to feel sorry for Xiao Zhi, hugged Xiao Zhi's shrunken body, and was in a daze.
After crying for a while, Zhu Zizhang considered all aspects of wood carving and his various ways to help Ash.
Zhu Zizhang: "Hey, wood carving is a very delicate wood carving, Xiao Zhi, your craftsmanship is only a little missing." ”
Crying swollen eye circles as if they had been beaten, those who don't know will definitely think that Ash has been taught a lesson, Ash raised his head and looked at Zhu Zizhang.
Zhu Zizhang picked up the dragon carving and looked at it, and said while watching: "It's just not practical enough, and it can't be used." ”
Ash woke up like a dream.
The whimpering sound in the man's room was gone, there was not even a single animal sound in the winter night, and the lights in the room went out, plunging the night into a deep silence.
The next day, it was the day when the Tiger Pavilion gave the guys a holiday. Xiao Zhi rushed to Liu Chengyu's house, knocked on the door of Liu's house, and happened to meet Liu Chengyu returning from walking birds outside.
Ash is very clever this time, and understands that if he asks for a book on wood carving, he will definitely be rejected, so he claims to help Rogan collect some information about the rat monster and medical books to see if he can resolve the strange things in the city.
Liu Chengyu happily took Ash to the Library Pavilion, and asked Ash to look for it by himself, explaining that he was sent by Lord Liu to help sort out the files.
Xiao Zhi turned left and right in it, there are not too many books on wood carving technology, most of them are real genealogies, case files and other books, and there are indeed a lot of medical "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", "Shennong's Materia Medica", as well as "Han Book", "Book of Songs", and "Luban Book" This kind of Xiao Zhi has heard a little, and I only saw some miscellaneous articles that have something to do with wood carving, and Xiao Zhi still read it tirelessly.
After studying for a day, Ash hurried to the evening market, searched all the stalls, and finally found some things, such as small pieces of stone, blades, etc., and finally saw a black stone and found it interesting and picked it up.
As soon as he returned home, Xiao Zhi operated with all his hands and feet, and installed a small piece of stone on the wood carving, so that there was a square wheel next to the wood carving that could be rotated. But the trouble with Ash is that the square wheels are extremely difficult to move, and it is very difficult to move the wood carving, let alone make it move on its own.
Then there are the blades, which are attached to large pieces of wood, so that the dragon carving and farming tools are cleverly combined into a delicate handicraft. Ash is very serious, and finally repairs the dragon carving into a cultivator that fits the blade perfectly!
That's it! Ash was in a good mood and rushed to the market with his baby before the end of the evening market.
A small stall shopkeeper looked at it, and was amazed, and Ash was triumphant.
Ash: "How's it going?" I'm good enough for this baby! Do you want to buy it? ”
The stall shopkeeper: "It's really good-looking, the wood carving is very exquisite, but it's bad that it has become a farm tool." ”
Ash was puzzled: "Why?" Isn't it a clever combination of art and practicality? ”
The stall shopkeeper shook his head again and again in denial: "You said that it is practical, why do you need to pay attention to good-looking work in the field?" The wood carving looks good, the wood looks good, which farmer can afford it? Ay...... Get it, get it back. ”
After receiving his own efforts, Ash was frustrated again. I went back with the wood carving ploughing tool, and put it on the ground in a daze.
Zhuzizhang came back from outside, in a good mood, and when he saw Ash's sad face again, he didn't know what to say.
Right now! The dragon carving ploughing tool vibrated on its own, swaying and flying towards the bamboo zhang.
This scene shocked both people in the room!
Zhu Zizhang: "Yo! What kind of ecstasy did you give the dragon carving? Thoughtful all! ”
Zhu Zizhang caught the dragon carving ploughing tool, and Ash checked that Zhu Zizhang had a kitchen knife pinned to his body, and then laughed heartily.
Ash: "God help me!" Now it's done! ”
