Chapter 106: This Stone Brick Can Also Be a Secret Book
Yu Chao was going to secretly say hello to Lao Tan for a while, and asked him to buy the old man's stone carvings at a large price instead of himself, and then give him the money later.
Anyway, with the broken car that Yu Chao drove, other community workers wouldn't believe that he could be a rich man.
As for what to call Boss Yu in his mouth, it's someone else who can speak, just go shopping, and the boss will call a handsome guy and a beautiful woman when he sees it, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
In this way, when the things are really bought, the community staff will naturally explain the situation to the elderly in private, and the elderly will not feel indebted or anything.
It didn't take long for Yu Chao and the others to return to the place of leisure and entertainment, park the car in the parking lot, and then get out of the car and prepare to go up the mountain.
God bless you can see, the hillside road is not afraid to drive up, it is too steep, not to mention, it is still a small road.
When the people from the emergency center came, they deliberately carried the old man down on a stretcher.
That's it, it's all the neighbors around who help, and those medical personnel have been replaced, and it is difficult to walk, and then carry people?
Who would dare to take that risk?
After Lao Tan saw the car coming, he didn't say much, and after a few words of greeting, he directly pulled Yu Chao and the others to prevent them from leaving, saying that it was not too late to go up to see things after lunch first.
Uncle Fang was embarrassed, and was about to say that he would go back and wait first, but he was stiffened by Yu Chao, and asked the community staff to accompany him, and it took a lot of words to stay.
Anyway, there are a lot of people, and they can't sit at two tables, so they just open another table.
As for the people who accompany them, Lao Tan's drivers Xiao Li, Yu Chao, Cai Youliang, community workers, plus Uncle Fang and the young men of the two drivers, the table of seven people is almost full.
Big fish and big meat are indispensable, and there are several large plates of mountain delicacies and wild vegetables, which look quite hearty.
Yu Chao didn't like to drink, and Cai Youliang and others didn't dare to drink, so everyone just drank some drinks.
Yu Chaocai didn't care what others thought, anyway, he sat next to the old man, and didn't help with the dishes or anything, but only occasionally introduced which dish tasted good, and asked him and others to try it.
Speaking of which, this is also the result of empathy.
If you change Yu Chao's perspective to the old man, and inexplicably participate in other people's dinners, I'm sorry, that's for sure.
If you let the host diligently help with the dishes or something, this meal is really not much to eat, it's not good to be too enthusiastic, it will make others very restrained, at least Yu Chao thinks so.
Just think it's a guest, no, just add a pair of chopsticks, don't be too enthusiastic, don't be cold, everyone focus on eating and drinking, hello, hello, hello, everyone.
Eating and drinking and not drinking, those are two different things, at least in terms of meal time, it is definitely different.
Yu Chao and the others have eaten with round stomachs, and the other two tables are still lively, I'm afraid it won't be over for a while.
Seeing that the old man seemed to be a little uncomfortable with this scene, Yu Chao said hello to the other two tables and asked Cai Youliang to stay, and he accompanied the old man back first.
As for the community workers, they barely managed to mix up a meal, so they couldn't stay with them all the time. There are a lot of locals here, and with what he has seen and heard along the way, he is also relieved that Yu Chao is a person, thanked him and went back to work.
Yu Chao had already quietly explained the matter to Lao Tan, and Lao Tan had also told the old man in general, but he still needed to wait for the workers he arranged to come over and take a look, otherwise how would those stone carvings be taken away?
Anyway, when the workers came, they had finished eating, and Cai Youliang was there, so they were naturally not afraid of finding a place.
The old man nodded vigorously, in his opinion, as long as he could sell it for money, he would be lucky.
Originally, I was going to give it to Yu Chao, which would be able to leave some money, no matter how much, I was very satisfied.
So the old man looked like he could arrange whatever you wanted, and walked home with Yu Chao with a smile on his face.
After leaving the leisure village, Yu Chao obviously felt that the old man was relaxed, and even his walking pace seemed to be much brisker.
Well, it's really a "person of the same kind", didn't I use it before?
Well, speaking of which, it hasn't changed yet!
This party completely disappointed Lao Tan's hard work, and he didn't communicate much with everyone, so he just cared about playing by himself.
Well, they're not familiar with it anyway, and they may not have the opportunity to deal with it in the future, so whatever they think.
We are such a person, if we can get along, we can get along, we can't and we don't force it, anyway, we don't have many opportunities to get along.
The old man seemed to feel familiar with each other, or as the host, he chatted with Yu Chao along the way.
First he laughed at himself, then he said don't dislike it, and then talked about his craft.
According to the old man, when he took over the carving craft from his father, he could have made some small stone mills for people nearby, and there were some tombstones, pig trough stone mills and other things.
I don't make much money, but I have a craft, as long as I am willing to work hard, someone is willing to hire me, and it is nothing to run a little farther.
It's just that the general environment didn't allow it, the business was bleak, and after a few years, he was old again, and his energy and physical strength were insufficient, and no one was willing to hire him.
It's because of the poverty of the family, so I'm still single, and I can only barely live by growing some food and side dishes on weekdays.
Occasionally, when I was interested, or bored, I went to the mountains to find a random place and carve something out with ancestral craftsmanship. I'm not in a hurry, I'll do it when I'm free, I'm idle, I'm idle, I don't want to waste this craft.
It's just that in recent years, I feel more and more tired, and I am "lazy" by relying on that meager minimum security fund.
If it was changed to the time when he was in good health, the old man would have personally customized and carved a good thing for Yu Chao, for which the old man still had regrets, and felt a little sorry for Yu Chao's kindness.
Yu Chao was naturally relieved to the old man, although he couldn't say anything in his mouth, but he was right in the old man's eyes.
After asking Yu Chao to sit down in the courtyard, he was busy boiling water to make tea or something, as for the tea, it was the wild tea tree on the mountain, and it was made by himself, it was very bitter, but it had a different flavor.
Yu Chao can't just sit still, let the old man do the work, it's okay to help add some firewood to the earthen stove or something.
Dirty?
Inexistent!
Yu Chao didn't grow up in a big city, he grew up in the countryside since he was a child. In the past, the conditions at home were not good, and it was not like I had never lived in such a situation, and I had long been used to it.
The old man may have really looked at Yu Chao, and suddenly ran back to the bedroom while he was making tea.
It was dark inside, and Yu Chao didn't look at it much, let alone follow it, so he waited outside.
When the old man came out again, he was holding a stone brick in his hand, similar to a slab brick, only a little thicker and wider.
It looks like it should have been left for a long time, and the stone bricks were rubbed very brightly, and there were some wet marks.
Yu Chao thought to himself, could this stone brick be hidden underground, or simply paved on the ground?
What are you going to do with this thing? You can't use it to build a wall, right?
Yu Chao has seen some old buildings, and there are stone piers under the wooden pillars, and the stone piers are affected by moisture because they are close to the ground, and they feel so wet.
Strange to say, those stone things that are quite high from the ground are exposed to the wind and sun, and the molting phenomenon is very heavy, and some of them are even weathered.
On the contrary, it was a stone pier close to the ground, and there were very few cases of shell cracking, and Yu Chao couldn't understand what was going on. I can only think of it as a relationship between stone materials, and I don't know if it's right.
The old man handed the stone brick to Yu Chao and said: "The old man doesn't have any good things at home, and he is a lonely person, this is something passed down from my ancestors, and I also learned this craft from it."
But the old man can't understand it, give it to you, don't dislike it, just treat it as if we have a fate, leave a memory!"
Stone brick craftsmanship?
Is there any carving cheats or something like that?
It seems that this is very similar to the scene in the book, but then again, this stone brick can also be a cheat?
