The next day is the New Year.

Before noon, Qin Lanzhou, who was hammering, smelled the smell of rice wafting from the kitchen, and instantly lost his mind to work.

She sat up straight and stretched widely, then got up from her chair and walked straight to the kitchen.

The weather is still very cold, but on this day of the new year, it is still a rare sunny day.

Qin Lanzhou walked into the warm kitchen, and saw Du Caiyu wearing an apron and waving a rice spoon busy in the kitchen, the kitchen was full of all kinds of pots and pans, and the jubilant atmosphere was like a New Year, which made Qin Lanzhou's fatigue in the past few days suddenly swept away.

Qin Lanzhou walked over and probed, just as Du Caiyu put a bowl of fragrant bacon out of the pot, and the fragrant aroma of bacon poured into her nose, prompting her to reach out and twist a piece and put it in her mouth......

Du Caiyu saw that she couldn't change the gluttony she had when she was a child, so she slapped her hand and said with a smile:

"Don't steal food, your senior brother will come back in a while, saying that he will bring a guest back."

"Bringing guests? Who is it? ”

Qin Lanzhou suddenly became suspicious.

"He didn't say anything on the phone, we'll find out later. Your dad pushed your grandma to go shopping in the old street, I'm almost all right here, you go and call them back for dinner-"

Du Caiyu was busy and said to Qin Lanzhou.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Qin Lanzhou responded quickly, but as soon as she walked out of the door of the Molan Workshop, she saw Situ Mo pushing her grandmother and walking side by side with Qin Yi and a middle-aged man.

They were chatting about something while walking, Qin Lanzhou saw this situation, and estimated that Situ Mo happened to bump into Qin Yi and his grandmother on the street, so he immediately greeted him with a smile and shouted:

"Grandma, Dad, Senior Brother, how did you meet?"

"I just met at the antique market, and it happened that Xiaomo brought this guest over-"

When grandma saw Qin Lanzhou going out to look for her, she immediately waved at Qin Lanzhou with a smile and said with a smile.

Qin Lanzhou hurriedly stepped forward, took the wheelchair from Qin Yi's hand and pushed his grandmother, and at the same time looked at Situ Mo with a happy smile on his face.

"This is Master Sun Yun, his filigree inlay skills are very good, and he is also an old acquaintance with the master, today I specially invited him to our Molan Workshop for dinner——"

Situ Mo then introduced to Qin Lanzhou with a smile.

As soon as Situ Mo said this, the master Sun Yun beside him immediately waved his hand a little restrainedly:

"I don't dare to take it, I just make a small fuss, I can't compare to Brother Qin, and I can't compare to you. I just heard Xiaomo say, you just won the first prize in Yancheng, you have this level at a young age, Brother Qin's ability to cultivate apprentices should not be underestimated——"

Compared with Master Gao Yuan, who they personally invited but ate "closed-door soup" before, this Master Sun Yun gave people the feeling that he was much more low-key and humble.

When Qin Lanzhou saw this, she instantly understood that Situ Mo was also secretly paying attention to the matter of finding a master for her.

"Hello Master Sun, I am a junior, and it is a fluke to win the award, I am really happy to meet you."

Qin Lanzhou immediately smiled and stretched out his hand to Sun Yun in a friendly manner.

Sun Yun's body has the simplicity and restraint unique to a veteran craftsman, and before shaking hands with Qin Lanzhou, he deliberately wiped his hands clean on his clothes, and then shook hands with Qin Lanzhou.

Sun Yun's small action made Qin Lanzhou notice the somewhat faded coat on his body, seeing that this kind of old-timer with noble art and simple style seemed to have a bad life, Qin Lanzhou couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart.

"My mother has already cooked the meal, and invited Master Sun to our house for a light meal at noon, and there was a pot of peach blossom stuffed at home, let's have a good chat while eating at noon——"

Qin Lanzhou immediately greeted Sun Yundao warmly, and his thoughtful words made Sun Yun even more grateful:

"You're so polite, Xiaomo had already invited me to dinner, and I went to your house for dinner again, and I didn't bring anything, I'm so embarrassed——"

"Lao Sun, don't be polite to us, we haven't seen each other for so many years, let's talk about the old days today, our family doesn't need to prepare any false gifts, we don't use this set."

Qin Yi saw that Sun Yun had always been very restrained, so he said to Sun Yun with a smile.

They exchanged pleasantries all the way, and soon came to the side door of the Meran workshop.

After Situ Mo helped Qin Lanzhou push his grandmother into the courtyard together, Du Caiyu saw that everyone had returned, so he immediately greeted him with a smile and hurriedly invited Sun Yun into the house.

On the large square table in the kitchen, a table full of dishes has been placed at this moment, and the flavor of the New Year is instantly revealed through this colorful and fragrant meal.

After a period of hesitation, Sun Yun was greeted by everyone at the head of the table, and Qin Lanzhou and Situ Mo also sat down around the table.

Qin Lanzhou suddenly remembered that in the notebook that Situ Mo sorted out for her, the second page was the name of Master Sun Yun, Master Sun Yun and her father Qin Yi were the same generation, since the age of 10, they began to learn filigree inlay technology, and they have more than 30 years of experience in this industry, and Zhao De is a relatively senior senior in the industry.

"Master Sun, as a junior, I will toast you first, where are you working now?"

Thinking of this, Qin Lanzhou immediately eagerly picked up his wine glass and gave Sun Yun a glass of wine.

"Shopkeeper Qin is polite, our industry has slowly declined over the years, I ...... I changed careers a few years ago and worked my cousin's construction site, barely ...... Barely making ends meet. ”

Sun Yun saw Qin Lanzhou asking about this, so he said with some hesitation, and he hurriedly picked up his wine glass and had a drink with Qin Lanzhou.

"Since more than ten years ago, we gradually replaced manual work with machines, and our industry has become more and more withered. Lao Sun, it's really condescending to suffer in a place like the construction site, but he is pitiful with good craftsmanship...... Come, I'll toast you too! ”

Qin Yi couldn't help but sigh when he heard Sun Yun say this.

As early as 20 years ago, he was also in the limelight, but since the beginning of mechanized production, the scenery of craftsmen has long been gone...... The gold industry has a high threshold, a long learning time, a fine and complex degree of craftsmanship, and it is common to be a teacher in ten or eight years, and those who are not talented enough will have a longer time to hone their skills.

Like Sun Yun, who finally learned it, but had to change careers to become other masters because of lack of access, in fact, there are not a few generations in Yancheng and Sucheng.

After Qin Yi had a drink with Sun Yun very regretfully, he then asked Situ Mo:

"I haven't been in touch with Lao Sun for many years, Xiaomo, how did you find Lao Sun?"

"I was repairing cultural relics in the museum these days, and I turned to Master Sun's information and saw that he had a unique skill in filigree inlay, so I made a special trip to his house to ask for advice. Master Sun is a very good person, and as soon as I went, he concentrated on guiding me. Isn't it that our Molan Workshop is short of masters, so I took a look at the thatched cottage and invited Master Sun over. ”

Situ Mo was also very happy to be able to invite Sun Yun, and he immediately toasted Sun Yun with a glass of wine.

After three glasses of wine, the restraint on Sun Yun's face gradually dissipated, and he said with a smile:

"As soon as Xiaomo said that he was your apprentice, I counted it. I think that when everyone fought for a bite to eat, it was thanks to you and everyone that we could still have a salary to maintain our family in that era. Lao Qin, since Shopkeeper Qin and Xiaomo are both your juniors, they are also my juniors. If you need help in the Molan Workshop, just say that I can do it! ”

Although Sun Yun was restrained at first, after the topic was opened, he was also a cheerful person, and he said directly on the spot.

Qin Lanzhou saw that Sun Yun agreed so happily, so he immediately filled him with wine and gave Sun Yun another glass:

"Master Sun, you can call me Xiao Qin or Uncle, and I, from today onwards, I will also call you uncle. We're all cheerful people, so I won't go around in circles, I think you can quit your job on the construction site and come to work in the Moran Workshop. As for the salary, you say—"

Although Qin Lanzhou is a woman, she is born with a refreshing energy in her bones, so she respectfully gave Sun Yun another cup, opened the skylight and said something bright.

"Okay, then I'll call you just like you did when you were a child. As for the salary, you can just look at it. I'm old, to be honest, I can't do the work on the construction site, I dream of one day to sit down and touch the gold thread again, I didn't expect that I am so old, you are still willing to want me, I really ......"

Compared with Gao Yuan's arrogance, Sun Yun, who is a skilled person, is extremely humble and humble, hearing Qin Lanzhou's words, Sun Yun was full of emotion, and couldn't help but reddened his eyes on the spot...... Sun Yun's devotion to the filigree inlay process made everyone present red-eyed for a while.

"Old Sun, these years, it has not been easy for you, and it is not easy for everyone...... It's okay, at present, the ancient gold is getting hotter and hotter year by year, and there are more and more people who like handmade objects, and our next way out will be better and better. You're okay, not like me, look at me, since my arm is gone, I'm really finished! ”

Sun Yun's words also evoked Qin Yi's sad past, Qin Yi couldn't help but sigh heavily, looking at his empty right hand, his face instantly became solemn.

"Dad, look at you, have a good childhood, and you begin to sigh again - your craftsmanship, didn't my senior brother and I pick it up for you? Don't think about it before, let's look back, I will also toast you today, our Molan Workshop will be better and better with Uncle Sun joining in the future! ”

The abolition of his right arm due to a car accident is the most difficult hurdle for Qin Yi to pass in his life, after all, the craftsman values his hands to almost as much as his life.

Qin Lanzhou was afraid that Qin Yi would fall into the deep pit of memories again and not be able to get out, so he immediately pretended to be relaxed and said to Qin Yi.

Being teased by his daughter like this, Qin Yi's gloomy face gradually softened, and he soon had a smile on his face, and while clinking glasses with Qin Lanzhou, he couldn't help but scold Qin Lanzhou:

"Girls' families, drink less—"
