Located in the southwest inland, even in Yucheng, which is an artery of waterways, few people see this strange foreigner, and several carpenters who are working can't help but whisper, and one of them is called Wang Er, seeing that the little carpenter looks quite calm, he can't help but ask: "Brother Gan, look at you like this, have you ever seen a foreigner?" ”

The little carpenter heard Qu Menghu say a lot about what he had seen and heard in Nanyang, and he had some understanding of the world pattern and foreigners, so he didn't make a fuss like others.

At this moment, after listening to the second king, he couldn't help laughing, saying that he hadn't seen it, but speaking of which, foreigners and us are not the same? It's the same with two eyes and one mouth, and the same thing to eat and drink Lazar, it's not unusual, right?

At that time, China suffered the humiliation of Banjiazi, and the foreigners knocked on the door of the Qing government with that gun, and then all kinds of ups and downs turned, and the Chinese people have been in a state of passive beating.

The long-term repression has also given birth to an extreme sense of inferiority, and for foreigners, I hate and fear, and I have indescribable awe and even worship.

So when he heard Gan Mo's words, Wang Er couldn't help but retort: "How can that be the same? I heard my second aunt say, "That foreigner, he eats fine bread, drinks snow-white milk, and sits on a small steamer that spews black smoke. ”

Gan Mo listened, but did not respond, lowered his head, and continued to work.

When the rest of the people heard Wang Er's words, they felt a sense of freshness, and hurriedly asked, "Is it yo?" ”

Wang Er immediately became angry, and said proudly: "Of course, my second aunt's son, my cousin, he went to the school in Guangfu and knows a lot of things......

He talked eloquently, and the crowd gathered around to listen, but the little carpenter kept his head bowed and kept his head in his work.

Wang Erzheng was foaming at the mouth when the overseer came over and scolded Wang Er: "Blow, blow, don't work hard, blow a fart here?" Who doesn't know, your second aunt doesn't recognize you as a poor relative at all, otherwise, you can do hard work here? ”

Wang Er's face was flushed with scolding, and he was about to argue, but when he saw the foreign old man coming over, he was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head and was busy with the work in hand.

There was silence here, and the foreigner had already come to him.

The people who came, in addition to him, there were four or five people, the leader was a middle-aged man with a majestic face, and there was a girl in a blue student uniform next to him, and the contractor who was the boss on weekdays was at the back.

Although the little carpenter kept his head down, he couldn't help but look at the girl twice.

The girl is not very old, sixteen or seventeen years old, with ear-length student hair, a light blue top, a black long skirt, and a pair of delicate shoes, revealing white and jade-like calves, this kind of dress, the little carpenter has rarely seen, and the most special thing is that the girl's eyes are particularly bright, as if glowing, full of confidence, plus her classical beauty melon seed face, no matter how you look at it, I feel beautiful.

The group walked to the area where the little carpenter Gan Mo and the others were working, and the master craftsman Zhang Shuiyu greeted him and saluted the middle-aged man with a majestic face: "Third Master Su." ”

Su Sanye?

When the little carpenter heard this, he knew the identity of the other party, who was the big boss behind the Lake Chamber of Commerce.

I didn't expect this master to come here today.

The big boss was in a good mood, nodded towards Zhang Shuiyu, and said with a little appreciation: "Master Zhang, the construction site is good, I came here just now to see, there are many places, even Mr. Gangero in England is full of praise......

After that, he introduced Zhang Shuiyu and said that this was Mr. Gangrogang, a construction engineer from England, who graduated from the most powerful university in England and was very good at the construction industry.

Then, he turned sideways and said to the foreigner: "Mr. Gang, this is the master craftsman of the construction site, Zhang Shuiyu. ”

As he spoke, the girl next to him, dressed like a student, immediately translated.

Mr. Oka reached out, shook hands with Zhang Shuiyu warmly, and said, "Mud howl, mud howl......"

He spoke a long foreign dialect, and the female student translated: "Mr. Gangero said that he is particularly fond of Chinese architectural aesthetics and culture, and this time he came here to study it specially and asked Master Zhang to teach him a lot." ”

When the master overseer received the praise of this foreigner, his face immediately turned red, as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, which was very beautiful.

He said with a smile: "Don't say that, these are all handicrafts handed down by the older generation, and they can't be made to the hall of elegance, but these are all historical inheritance......"

He said a few words modestly, but he became more and more proud, and led the group inside, explaining those places that he was quite proud of.

The group was about to leave, but the foreigner stopped beside Ganmo.

He looked at the carved wooden window made by the little carpenter, couldn't help but reach over, picked up a finished product, and exclaimed, "Crooked ...... Good."

Gan Mo listened to his shouting, and could not help stopping what he was doing, while the schoolgirl smiled at the little carpenter, and said Hello, Mr. Gangero let me tell you, this window you carved is a work of art, and he praised your craftsmanship very much, and thought that with these carved windows, you can go to Paris and participate in the exhibition of the nations......

The little carpenter was a little confused, and he didn't understand the nouns that the female student said, but he also knew that the other party was praising him, so he couldn't help but say modestly: "My craftsmanship is average, it's nothing." ”

These are all normal carved wooden windows, and the little carpenter didn't use the skills of the Luban axe, so I really don't think this big foreigner has any fuss.

It's also a foreigner, and it looks like I've never seen the world.

The female student translated Ganmo's words, and Mr. Nagang couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and exclaimed, "Even buy Ka, sell chickens and dogs......"

Gan Mo was not happy, why did he still curse?

The female student couldn't help laughing, showing two rows of white teeth, and said to him: "It's not to scold you, it's a foreign language, it's amazing, it's really amazing." ”

Gan Mo listened, so he didn't have a seizure.

The foreigners looked at the carpentry here for a while, and they were amazed, and Zhang Shuiyu intended to behave in front of the big boss, and walked forward with people, so the team did not stay longer and continued to move forward.

When they left, Wang Er, who was originally wilting, couldn't help but say to Gan Mo: "Wow, Brother Gan, you are now developed, even foreigners are amazed at your work, if he has a heart and takes you abroad, wouldn't it be rich?" ”

When Gan Mo heard this, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, after all, after listening to Qu Menghu's story, he still longed for a place like Europa.

But thinking about it, Qu Menghu asked him to wait for him in Yucheng, how could he leave?

So he smiled and said: "Foreigners have never seen the craftsmanship of our countrymen, it's just a fuss, and if you see more, you won't feel unusual." ”

Brother Luo, an older carpenter next to him, couldn't help but say: "I've been doing this for so long, I've never seen your brother work so skillfully, and he can get praise from the big boss in many places, isn't it your brother's credit?" Zhang Tou'er didn't talk about it at all, which is really a little unkind......"

He looked at each other, and others talked one after another, gossiping, holding grievances for Ganmo, but Ganmo didn't feel it, and said with a smile that it was okay.

He works here to earn money, but he doesn't need to break into that head.

Everyone said a few words, and Wang Er couldn't help but say, "By the way, did you see it just now, that female student?" Oh, after all, she reads, you look at her little legs, they're white, like putty powder, if you can touch them, I'll have to reminisce about them for a whole year......"

When he said this, everyone else laughed.

A small-eyed carpenter mocked him, saying that Wang Er, you are a hapi, if you have money, you know how to build it in the kiln, if you save the money for your mother, maybe you will marry a daughter-in-law and let it go.

Wang Er said disdainfully: "That rough village girl, where is the amorous kiln sister fun?" And this schoolgirl ......"

He kept talking about yellow words, but Second Brother Na Luo hurriedly stopped him and said in a low voice: "You can stop, that little sister, but the daughter of the big boss Su Sanye, if you hear this, you will definitely be beaten out directly, and you won't even be paid......

Hearing this, Wang Er couldn't help but gasp, and said no, right? Second Brother Luo, how do you know?

He will be suspicious, Second Brother Luo pouted, and said Do you believe it or not.

Wang Er opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and at this time, the female student who had been talked about by everyone just now actually returned here under the leadership of the contractor.

After being frightened by Second Brother Luo, Wang Ertou was about to be buried in the ground, and the others didn't dare to say much.

The schoolgirl ignored the others, but walked straight up to the little carpenter, looked at him, and asked, "Your name is Ganmo?" ”

The little carpenter looked up and said yes.

The female student asked again: "The tiger-skinned orange cat lying on the wall over there, I heard that you raised it?" ”

The little carpenter nodded and said yes.

He pondered what trouble the little beast had caused again, and the female student breathed a sigh of relief, waved her hand, and the foreman handed over two pieces of ocean, and the female student smiled and said, "Mr. Gangero has taken a fancy to your cat, and he likes it very much, and wants to bring it back, these two pieces of ocean are for you......"

After saying that, she didn't pay any more attention to Gan Mo, turned around and left.

Little Carpenter: "??? ”
