Dinner was really simple. A wooden bowl containing a dozen wild fruits.

When this bowl of wild fruit was placed in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing. "Hahaha, filling your hunger with wild fruits made Gu think of Wangmei to quench her thirst. It was a nostalgic time! ”

Dian Wei didn't speak, he knew what Cao Cao was talking about. Those who followed Cao Cao early knew that Cao Cao suffered no less than others. He can get to this day step by step, in addition to luck, strategy, and family background, it is inseparable from his ability to endure hardships.

A knock on the door sounded, and Luban No. 7 jumped in.

"Uncle Cao, Dad wants to see you. Come with me! There's a secret for the sake of the two of us being friends, I'll tell you first. If you can make Daddy happy, Daddy might treat you to dinner! ”

"Thanks, I'll work hard." Cao Cao stood up, picked up the wild fruit on the table, and handed one to Luban No. 7.

"I don't eat this, I don't digest this." Luban No. 7 shook his head like a rattle.

"Then you can help me hold this bowl of wild fruits, and it will be regarded as a welcome gift for me to visit Grandmaster Luban." Cao Cao said very sincerely.

"Well, well! Fruit is Dad's usual favorite. ”

Cao Cao followed behind Luban No. 7 and passed many houses along the way. Here you can see the family having endless fun, and you can also see the elderly lying on the chair, basking in the afterglow of the sunset.

Either way, there is one thing they have in common, and that is that they are not real people. Rather, like Luban 7, it is a moving body assembled from wooden parts.

Coming to the door of the courtyard where Lu Ban lived, Cao Cao stopped and stood, patted the dust on his body, and tidied up his makeup.

"Uncle Cao, don't be like this, Dad doesn't pay attention to this."

"Nope! Gifts must not be abolished. The one who wants to visit is a grandmaster. Not only to be sincere, but also to show respect for him in appearance. ”

"Alright! Whatever you want. Luban No. 7 continued to lead the way, and even though he didn't have a real heart, he was still happy with Cao Cao's actions.

The sound of "squeak, squeak...", sounded in Cao Cao's ears, it was the sound of a saw sawing wood.

Cao Cao took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and walked in the direction where the voice came from.

Seeing this, Luban No. 7 did not stop him, but was looking forward to his behavior. He wanted to see what Cao Cao would do next, and he didn't believe that Cao Cao would also do this kind of carpentry work.

A pair of calloused craftsman's hands, a body full of powerful curved muscles. Although the temples are white, a pair of eyes full of wisdom perfectly overshadow everything.

"Hand me the ink fountain." Lu Ban's voice makes people feel that he is a person with great perseverance and great wisdom after listening to him.

"Give!" Cao Cao picked up the ink fountain in the toolbox and handed it over carefully.

"Will it work? Help me pull it. Instead of looking up, Luban picked up the chalk on his ear and drew a mark on the work.

"Yes!" Cao Cao was not ambiguous, handed him the end of the ink fountain, and slowly stepped back.

"Okay, just stand here and play it."

With a "snap", a straight light black line is clearly imprinted on the surface of the work.

"Take the drill and hit an inch of the eye along the spot I marked. Remember, as long as it is an inch, it is not enough to have more or less. If you can't get it right, use a curved ruler to measure it before starting. ”

"Good!" Cao Cao didn't say anything, picked out the ruler from the toolbox, and carefully measured the size in the marked place.

In order not to deviate from the measured size, he measured it three times each time, and finally used chalk to point a little bit at the position of one inch.

The sound of "ding ding ding" sounded in the courtyard, and Cao Cao drilled the wooden eye with his heart. At this time, he forgot his identity, and only knew that he had to complete the task assigned by Lu Ban with his heart.

After the first wooden eye was drilled, Cao Cao exhaled and wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead. Without much rest, the second wooden eye continued to begin in his hand.

Eighteen wooden eyes were drilled in a row. When Cao Cao put down the drill in his hand, he found that his fingers twitched a little unwillingly. The muscles in the forearm also become sore.

"Well, you're doing a great job. Cao Cao is Cao Cao, if you don't have this perseverance, it will be difficult for you to achieve what you have today. After inspecting Cao Cao's wooden eye, Lu Ban praised him pertinently.

"Grandmaster Lu has won the award, but I don't dare to get an axe in front of you." Cao Cao bowed to Lu Ban's formal salute.

"Do you know what we just made together?"

Cao Cao did not answer immediately, but after taking a closer look at the work, he replied with certainty: "This should be a cloud ladder for siege." ”

"That's right, you should be the most familiar with this siege machine. Conquering cities and conquering the world, its help is indispensable. Today, you and I have completed this work with your own hands, how does it feel? ”

"To be honest, I don't feel lonely in this work, but I feel very grateful that you are lonely." Cao Cao did not compliment Lu Ban's craftsmanship, but was straightforward and said what he was thinking at the moment.

"Oh? Let's hear it. Lu Ban was very interested in Cao Cao's answer, picked up a tea bowl, and took a sip of water.

"You are a Grandmaster-level Champion, and it stands to reason that you shouldn't be doing such a small job as making a ladder. But this piece is in your hand.

When you made this piece, you didn't take it lightly because it was a ladder. From your gaze, I read professional, rigorous, serious, and meticulous. Under your gaze, this work is no longer an ordinary work, but a work full of life.

Grandmaster Lu, today you have taught Gu a profound lesson in this way. You have made Gu understand that the glory of the past represents the past, and the glory of the present will also become a thing of the past in the near future.

If you want to keep the glory, you must have a heart that does not forget the past and a sense of responsibility to take everything seriously.

No matter how big or small, they must be treated as the same level and cannot be treated differently. Of course, it is possible to treat problems differently in the way they are handled, but they must be treated equally from the starting point of the problem.

Grandmaster Lu, please be alone. Cao Cao saluted Lu Ban again.

"Cao Cao, this is something you realized yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. I'm just a carpenter, and making wood implements is my job and hobby.

You're good, did you have dinner? If you don't have any food, just have a light meal at my place! ”

"The elders don't dare to resign, so it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

The conversation between the two made Lu Ban No. 7, who was standing on the side, blink. He still doesn't understand what happened to them. Why did Dad show him an appreciative gaze all of a sudden?
