The leader of that group was a big man with a beard, probably afraid of the sun, and he had a red cloth scarf wrapped around his head, which made him a little more delicate.

His face, which was incompatible with the red cloth scarf, raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, and he took a step forward and roared: "Who are you, our Young Master Yang's forest dare to cut it casually?" ”

Meng Xun did not show weakness, and pointed forward with a firewood knife: "You don't bully people, we have all asked, this bamboo forest is wild, how did it become what Young Master Yang is?" ”

"Hmph, don't care about it, the bamboo within a radius of ten miles in Weiyuan County is Young Master Yang's, use bamboo to buy it at Yang's house, and if you want to cut it yourself, no way!"

"You guys are buying and selling!" Lu Ling couldn't hear it, he straightened his clothes and stood up, "The way of doing business pays attention to the letter of the word, and it is not a gentleman to monopolize the needs of the people for his own interests, although we are weak, but how can we promote such an unhealthy trend, you are all the people who eat grains, how can you be with the profiteer, Lu Mou is here to advise, don't connive at the untrustworthy businessmen, go against morality, they must not survive for a long time!" ”

The red-turbaned man opened his eyes wide, blinked a confused light, looked behind him, and saw that his colleagues were all looking at him, he was relieved, and glared at these people: "What a mess, less nonsense, hurry up, otherwise, hum ......" He raised his firewood knife to show off his might.

"Why are you obsessed...... Lu Ling wanted to say more, this time even the people next to him couldn't stand it, Yue Lan glanced at Meng Xun, Meng Xun understood, and as soon as the two stretched out their hands, they pulled the chattering person behind, and then stepped forward at the same time.

The red turban and his party were dazzled for a while, and before they could react, they suddenly saw that their hands were empty, and the firewood knife had reached the ground without knowing what was going on.

They looked forward in amazement, obviously not having enough confidence, the big man swallowed a mouthful of spit, his body trembled a little, but his mouth shouted without reducing his momentum: "You guys...... Wait, Young Master Yang will definitely not let you go, next time we will fight! ”

With that, they ran away without dragging their feet in the slightest.

A few people shook their heads, and continued to collect materials by themselves, the so-called Young Master Yang, no matter who he is, let's talk about it when he comes!

It took an afternoon, and the bamboo materials needed were basically enough, these things were not too physically demanding for them, but they were suffering a lot today, just because of this small half a day, Lu Ling was always complaining to the two people around him: "Your fists and feet are to punish evil and promote good, not to bully the people, they are just ordered by others......"

He was still talking about the matter of Fang Cai, chattering for a long time like a teacher, Yue Lan could stand it, but Meng Xun was an anxious person, he covered his ears and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Ah Ling, my good second senior brother, sooner or later you will be ruined by this benevolence that does not ask right or wrong." ”

In order to block Lu Ling's words, he was anxious to find someone who agreed, and immediately said to Yue Lan after speaking: "Senior brother, did you say?" ”

Yue Lan stopped the movement in his hand, slowly raised his head, and said seriously: "Benevolence is not a shortcoming, if you can do this for the rest of your life, you will be famous." ”

Meng Xun stuck out his tongue and wanted to ask the master to come out to discern it, but Luo Changqing was raising his head at this time to see two paper kites flying in the sky.

One feature is obvious, the swallow's beak is painted on it, and the double tail is sheared, which is the hard-winged sand swallow of the Chen family, but the other is strangely shaped, with red and willow green flowers, and the provenance cannot be detected.

The two paper kites were so close that they seemed to be intent on contesting, one flew high, and the other caught up, and from time to time they pounced on each other.

It didn't take long for the paper kite to fall down, and the silk surface was knocked out of the crack, flying unsteadily, tilting to the left, and having a tendency to fall, and the young man holding the line below it was laughed at by the winner next to him, who was frivolous and his words were not inferior to the ear.

Luo Changqing saw that the young man's face was flushed, and his clear eyes were full of dissatisfaction, but looking at the crumbling paper kite, he could only sigh helplessly. She walked over, listened to the rustling of the leaves in her ears, looked at the pattern of the paper kite, and said to the young man kindly: "The wind is stronger than before, it is a good time for you paper kite." ”

The boy looked at her distressedly: "But my paper kite is broken." ”

As he spoke, the paper kite had already landed, and he picked it up and muttered, "This is what I spent several days doing." ”

"You did it yourself?" This made Luo Changqing curious, she took the paper kite, although it looked like it was not flattering, but the binding and pasting process was like that, basically in accordance with the professional method, she couldn't help but look at the young man a few more times, guessing which paper kite workshop he should be the apprentice of the paper kite.

Looking at the cracks on the silk surface, but not completely cracked, the driving force and exhaust force will not be greatly affected, she reached out and gently twisted the upper thread on the left side of the paper kite, and handed it back to the young man: "Okay, you try again." ”

The other party was surprised: "That's good?" ”

The boy didn't believe it, and with a worried heart, he released the paper kite again.

The wind in the forest drove the bamboo leaves, and in the astonished gaze, the paper kite rose in his hand, and quickly caught up with the height of the winner next to him, and with some provocation swept around his sand swallow, and then went straight up against the wind, so that the sand swallow could not catch up again.

Just turned defeat into victory in a moment, and the young man was happy and stunned, and threw an admiring look at Luo Changqing.

The owner of Shayan over there is also a young man with strong blood, and he wants to scold when he wins, but now that he loses, he wants to scold, and after scolding, he threatens by the way: "You ...... Wait, I won't let you go, next time we'll compare! ”

After speaking, he took back the paper kite and left with a curse.

The young man raised his eyebrows and turned around to express his gratitude, and Luo Changqing smiled and raised his hand.

And Meng Xun said: "Why do the people in Weiyuan County speak the same caliber? ”

After finishing his work, he went home, and he took those words as a deaf ear, but unexpectedly, the people of Weiyuan County still have one thing in common: the cruel words released will be fulfilled.

Shayan's owner's name is He Xiaofei, and he heard from the guests in the tea house that people are bandits' nests in the mountains outside the city, and robbing houses is a serious matter, and they belong to the frequent visitors in the county government prison.

Although he is not very old, he has a "good character" that does what he says, and within a few days, he came over with a brand new paper kite to challenge.

He spent a lot of money to buy this paper kite from Hongyuanfang, there is an apprentice in Hongyuanfang who has a good relationship with him, I heard about the last time, and made a special trip to ask the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper of the Chen family is also curious, and he is arrogant, so he specially picked out their most representative traditional blue pot bottom hard-winged thin swallow and handed it to He Xiaofei.

Coincidentally, the young man who passed Luo Changqing's guidance was actually the old man of the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting workshop "Spring Breeze Gu" next door, named Lu Fengming.

As for why the son of the shopkeeper Gu is surnamed Lu, the shopkeeper Gu only said: "Others called me the shopkeeper Gu because of the name of 'Spring Breeze Gu', and it was passed out in ten ways, and I am not my real surname Gu." ”

Lu Fengming already admired Luo Changqing, and after accepting He Xiaofei's challenge, he came to Changqing Zhai to ask for paper kites, although he was not Luo Changqing's apprentice in the paper kite workshop that he guessed before, but because of his love, he mixed in the vicinity of Hongyuan Fang all the year round, and he still knew a little.

When he first heard that the other party was coming to challenge, Luo Changqing wondered: "That day was just for you to have fun, and I didn't want to really have a competition, what did you compare?" ”

Lu Fengming frowned and thought about it: "Actually, there are no rules, first of all, you must compare which one is better, and then you must fly higher and fly steadily." After he finished speaking, he said to Luo Changqing flatteringly, "Sister Luo, if I win, it's not just me, it's actually your paper kite here who won Hongyuanfang, can you win the Chen family, and are you worried that no one will patronize the business?" ”

This makes sense, Luo Changqing secretly thought that she should also meet the Chen family for a while.

The paper kite at the bottom of the Chen family pot is painted in a single color, and the bottom of the blue pot is covered with blueprint patterns on the white silk surface, which was originally the simplest style, but in their hands it is very varied, whether it is a swallow's mouth, a group of flowers and auspicious clouds, they are all outlined, and they are actually elegant with blue and white jade porcelain.

The sand swallow is still a two-tailed swallow, but the shape is slender and long, and this paper kite is more dexterous and lightweight than other sand swallow types, and the edges and corners are more aggressive.

The Chen family chose this blue-bottomed hard-winged thin swallow to He Xiaofei, the purpose is obvious, one is to show off, the other is to demonstrate, and when it comes to one place, there is only one sentence: let them know who the paper kite market in Weiyuan County is.

Luo Changqing is gentle on the surface, but in her heart she has the strength not to hit the south wall and not look back, since she has come to Weiyuan County, she is bound to get a piece of the pie from them.

As long as the paper kite handed over to Lu Fengming has no effect on outsiders, it becomes very important for Changqingzhai.

It is not difficult to beat the Chen family's sand swallow in terms of form and flight, change the type, the board paper kite can be, and the string type is also OK, but the type is different, and the ability to ride the wind is different, in fact, it is not very comparable.

Luo Changqing hesitated for a while, and made a decision: "We also make hard-winged sand swallows." ”

The three people on the other side were surprised: "This is the Chen family's specialty." ”

"It's their specialty, but they don't necessarily do it to the extreme, there are always mountains outside the world in this world." She narrowed her eyes, "I just want to use what they are good at to win, otherwise, the Lu family's Xiaofeng side will win, at most it will be a game between two children, who cares?" ”

When Yue Lan heard this, he immediately nodded: "Well, listen to you." ”

The other two chimed in: "Listen to you." ”

The sand swallow paper kite was originally in the shape of a swallow, the size of the body has basic specifications, the wind is a light wind, and the slight sound of the leaves is the best wind to fly.

Luo Changqing first drew the outline drawing, and then drew the skeleton structure based on the position and material of the wind, which is the core of a paper kite, and the mask can be used ordinary silk, but the skeleton should be carefully polished.

The bamboo cut back last time has been dried, planed off the bamboo yellow only to take the bamboo green, and then cut into bamboo strips to heat and bend to shape, the skeleton is there, but Luo Changqing painted the structure of the paper kite is different from the past, she wandered for a while, put forward the idea: "The bamboo alone is not enough, I also need other bamboo." ”

Facing the puzzled looks of the three people, she said: "Nanzhu is used for contour support, and I want to use thinner and tougher water bamboo to make the skeleton, so that it is more stable and lighter." ”

Yue Lan immediately nodded again: "Listen to you." ”

This time, the other two didn't immediately agree, they looked at Yue Lan, only to feel that this senior brother "listen to you" in front of the master has become a mantra, and the response is so fast, I don't know if I heard what the master said.

The master brother blindly worships the master, but Meng Xun can't, he is also well-informed and well-informed, and said with a sad face: "You don't know, the bamboo in Weiyuan County has been rounded up by that young master Yang, if we want to buy bamboo, we have to buy it from his Yang family...... Aren't you still waiting to trouble us? ”
