Chapter 25: Learning the Craft

In the afternoon, Ye Chen went to Huailing Mountain to sit and took Ye Zixiang back!

"Dad, I just saw Uncle Li's expression wrong, did you quarrel with him?" Ye Chen asked.

"It's fine. Ye Zixiang said indifferently.

Then, his heart moved, and he asked Ye Chen casually: "Xiaochen, seeing that the college entrance examination is coming soon, you should also graduate from high school, what are your plans after graduation?"

"Go to college!" Ye Chen said casually.

There is so much luck in the whole high school, if you go to college, what kind of luck should you have, especially the kind of century-old university, which is closely related to the fortune of the country!

The luck of undertaking will be unprecedented!

"Hehe......" Ye Zixiang laughed.

"Xiaochen, Dad didn't joke with you, I want to ask you what you really think. ”

"Dad, I'm not kidding you, I'm really going to college. However, you don't have to worry about my college tuition. When the time comes, I will come back with a top score in the college entrance examination, and I believe that there will be a lot of bonuses in the county and the city. Ye Chen said seriously.

Ye Zixiang's expression was already crying and laughing.

"Xiaochen, have you ever passed an exam since you were a child?"

"Uh. ”

"Well, since you don't want to say it, Dad won't force you. ”

When I got home, Feng Guizhi had already bought a mention of fruit!

"Let's go, let's go find Old Chen. Ye Zixiang said to Ye Chen.

"Do you really want to learn this craft?" Ye Chen asked.

"Learn. Even if you don't rely on this to eat in the future, you can always master one more craft. Ye Zixiang said.

"Hey, alas, you learned too late. You should have learned it sooner. The children of the old Liu family in the suburbs, when they were in junior high school, have been studying with Chen Lao, and now they have made a small achievement, not long ago, a wealthy businessman in QZ City fell in love with a jade he carved, and it was sold for 88888 at that time. ”

"Don't be discouraged, this thing generally relies half on understanding and half on hard work.

If you're smart enough to learn now, you might be able to catch up with him in a year. Ye Zixiang said.

After walking for half an hour, Ye Chen pushed Ye Zixiang to the front of a small building.

This is a very classic small building, which has been around for some years, but it does not look dilapidated.

The walls are in simple tones, engraved with stone carvings of the bridge, which looks quite ancient, and on the dilapidated wooden railing, there are dragons flying in it, which has a unique charm.

"It's a bit of an artist. Ye Chen couldn't help but nodded.

"Chen Lao was originally an artist, and he has a lot of fame in Qingyun Province. Xiaochen, I went to Chen Lao for a while, be obedient, but don't be afraid, although Chen Lao has a bad temper, but at that time, in the process of passing on the art, he was usually a good person. Ye Zixiang commanded at Ye Chen.

"Well, got it. Dad!"

Entering the building, there is a plaque on the front door with a plaque of Zangbao Zhai, and on the first floor is a shop with a simple decoration and a lot of things in the store.

"These are all Chen Lao's works, there are clay sculptures, stone carvings, and bamboo carvings. Ye Zixiang introduced his son, wanting to stimulate his interest.

When Ye Chen saw these delicate things, he was indeed interested.

Especially when I saw a nuclear carving, I was even more surprised.

It was originally a small walnut, but now it has been carved into a canopy boat, on which there are not only canopies, coffee tables, but also people drinking on it, and if you look closely, on the door of the canopy boat, there are also carved door couplets.

"Ingenious!" Ye Chen couldn't help but admire.

"I carved it 10 years ago, when I had the ability to keep up with my eyesight, physical energy, and energy to complete this piece. Now, when I'm old, I can't do it, even if I imitate it, I can't do it, my physical strength is exhausted, and my eyes are spent. The old man said.

When Ye Zixiang saw the old man coming, he hurriedly commanded Ye Chen.

"It's called Old Chen!"

"Old Chen. Ye Chen said respectfully.

"Hmm. Old Chen nodded, then glanced at Ye Chen up and down and said, "The young man is just too delicate." It may not be appropriate to learn this line of work. However, you can try it first. ”

Is it also a sin to be handsome? Ye Chen was a little speechless.

Ye Chen walked through the store, and there was a larger space at the back of the store, like a classroom.

There were already more than a dozen people studying in the classroom.

There are men, women and children.

In the past two years, with the improvement of living standards, everyone has paid more and more attention to this art, and many more people have learned it.

A couple of girls are there to draw girls. Seeing Ye Chen walk in, his eyes lit up.

However, when he saw Old Chen next to him, there was some fear in his eyes.

"Where do you look, you have to be quiet in doing crafts, and you can't be half-hearted. Do you understand?" Old Chen shouted at the girl who was looking at Ye Chen just now.

Then, Chen Lao walked to the front and sat on a Taishi chair.

Looking at Ye Chen's side, his expression was a little unkind, obviously, the girls just now were distracted, which made Chen Lao feel that his previous intuition was right.

In this regard, Ye Chen said that he was very helpless, and his first impression was ruined like this?

Chen Lao was playing with two walnuts, picked up a delicate small purple clay pot, took a sip of tea, glanced at Ye Chen, and then asked, "Do you want to learn these crafts?"

"Hmm. Ye Chen nodded.

He knew that this was the opportunity that his father had finally begged for him, and his hard work could not be in vain.

"Have you ever studied painting before?"

Ye Chen shook his head.

"Zixiang, he followed you, and you didn't teach him a little?"

"Nope. He used to be in school, and now he is about to graduate from school, so he has the heart to learn. ”

"That's troublesome, and I haven't studied painting, which means I don't have any foundation at all. The child's merit is zero, and it is difficult to go far in the future. Chen Lao said.

"Old Chen, you try your best to teach first, whatever you learn, even if you are anything. Ye Zixiang said.

"Okay, in that case, let's learn first. Chen Lao said.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Ye Zixiang said gratefully.

Then he explained to Ye Chen and went to the second floor.

He went to the fairy seat to sell things during the day, and at night he came here to do odd jobs to make handicrafts, and the handicrafts he did were taken away by Chen Lao and sold to the big city.

"Let's learn to draw with them first. Chen Lao handed him painting tools and books. After saying that, close your eyes again and recuperate.

Seeing this situation, Ye Chen regretted it a little.

If I had known, I wouldn't have come.

"Isn't this a waste of time? I just learned about incurable diseases, and I haven't gotten back to my roots. I have to go out and post small advertisements, and now it's okay, and I'm going to spend it here. ”

However, if you come to it, you will be safe, and you can only sit in the seat honestly.

"Let's paint red first. Practice your penmanship. Ye Chen followed what he said, and found a vacant seat to sit down.

"It's just that I don't know if I can absorb the skills taught in it after I eat this book?" Ye Chen thought in his heart.

In the middle of his distraction, a voice sounded next to him.

"Handsome guy, hello, my name is Yu Xiaohong. A girl with long hair smiled at Ye Chen.

"Hello! My name is Ye Chen. Ye Chen also said with a smile.

"Are you just starting out?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then you're a little late. If you want to learn, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Yu Xiaohong said sincerely.

"......" Ye Chen was speechless! I had never seen anything like this, and as soon as I came up, I began to hit people's confidence!
