Chapter 197: Wang Shi
In the small workshop of "Wang's Carpentry", Li Kang looked at the wood carvings placed on the wooden shelves one by one, and couldn't help but be amazed, the master is in the folk!
If these lifelike wood carvings are placed in the old world where modern assembly line handicrafts are flooded, even if they do not play the brand of pure hand-carving, not to mention the buyers flock to it, but they can definitely be sold, and it is very easy to sell, if you play the gimmick of the traditional carving master hand-made, the value will be doubled several times.
Therefore, Li Kang couldn't help but say to Wang Shi: "Have you ever wanted to find a few more apprentices or helpers, or simply spend money to hire carpenters, otherwise you alone, even if you are highly skilled, how many things can you make every day?
Wang Shi and Li Kang are old acquaintances, when Li Kang personally explored the Jinhe area, Wang Shi was one of the two carpenters accompanying him, at that time there was no shadow of Fuxi Town!
Hearing Li Kang's concerned words, Wang Shi touched the back of his head and said: "What everyone likes is that I personally beat the wooden tools, and others can't make this taste, then it's not Wang's carpentry, I can't deceive people!"
Li Kang was a little speechless, such a lovely person, almost extinct in the old world, if he is in the position of Wang Chengcheng, then why not hurry up and take advantage of the "Wang's" brand to gradually enter the hearts of the people, recruit troops, expand production capacity, anyway, as long as the quality is passed, no matter who does it, all of them are branded with "Wang's Carpentry", and consumers at every table can still recognize the author?
Although he was very "dissatisfied" with Wang Shi's honesty, Li Kang still smiled and said: "Then you teach apprentices! Apprentices are in the same vein as you, so they can't be wrong, right?"
"I..." Wang Shi was stumbling for a long time before he said: "This is my ancestral craft, and I want to pass it on to my son." ”
Li Kang Waterfall Khan, caught another feudal remnant, and "me", don't think that pretending to be old-fashioned, Li Kang will not teach him a lesson.
However, it seems that Li Kang himself can be regarded as a feudal remnant, right?
Of course, these are all details, in short, although all kinds of technical talents are not as scarce as at the beginning, and compulsory apprentices are needed, Li Kang still educated Wang Shi well, especially after hearing that he immediately dismissed the apprentices who were originally assigned to him after the policy was relaxed, he was even more angry.
Isn't this the platform for dismantling socialism? I have no political consciousness at all! Or are I not a qualified citizen of New China?
said that he was tired, mainly because he was tired, Li Kang hastily glanced around the workshop and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Li Kang's gaze swept to a tiger that had not yet been painted, and he couldn't help but be attracted by it. I saw that the tiger's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint cold light flickering in it, showing the majesty of the king of beasts, making people dare not look at it.
And Li Kang was attracted by these eyes.
If you want to say that Wang Shi's craftsmanship is not enough, it is enough to be fake, but it is still a dead thing, and its essence is just a piece of wood, with no shape and no god!
This is also the reason why Wang Shi will become a master carver in a few years, not now.
Now he's still a craftsman, not an artist.
But the appearance of this tiger made Li Kang can't help but glance at Wang Shi, although except for a pair of eyes, the rest of the part is still just a piece of wood, no vitality, no tiger might, but it is enough to show that Wang Shi has touched the threshold of the master, and one foot has been raised.
[It seems that he became a master earlier than expected!]
Li Kang glanced at Wang Shi who was scolded like a little daughter-in-law angrily, and couldn't help but kick it over, Wang Shi who kicked it was inexplicable, didn't he say that he was going to leave?
"This tiger looks good, how can you sell it?" Li Kang pointed to the tiger he fancied and asked without looking back.
Wang Shi saw that Li Kang was referring to his most proud work, and he couldn't help but feel a heart-wrenching pain in his chest, and he would rather be kicked by Li Kang again.
"How can this make the king pay for it! The king likes it and the blessing of the villain, and the villain is willing to dedicate it to the king!" Wang Shi tried to squeeze out a smiling face and said flatteringly.
"What's so embarrassing about this?" Li Kang glanced at Wang Shi with a smile, and just when the latter thought that Li Kang would be humble, Li Kang suddenly said again, stretched out his hand to take down the tigress, and said: "However, since it is a gift from an old friend, then I have no choice but to be disrespectful!"
"Uh..."Wang Shi said against his will: "This is the honor of the villain!"
A pinnacle work, in exchange for an old friend of the king, in the eyes of others, this is a lot of money, but the Wang family does not have this awareness, if he has this consciousness, with his old qualifications, he may be able to mix with the mayor now.
"Hmm!" Li Kang unceremoniously handed the woodcarved tiger to the accompanying secretary for safekeeping, and then said: "I think you also know that in a short time, my son will be born, and he will definitely want toys in the future. ”
After speaking, Li Kang didn't care about Wang Shi's pig-liver-like face, and walked out of the "Wang's carpentry".
After Li Kang left, Wang Shilu, the director of the Fuxi County Bureau of Industry and Commerce who accompanied him, couldn't hold back any longer, slapped this foolish egg who was only one word short of his name, and said very indisputably: "I said Lao Wang, how do you say hello? Such a good opportunity... Hey, but after all, the king is thinking about the old love, although he is a little angry with you, but he still helped you before leaving! You must be grateful and know that the king is good!"
"Oh!" Wang Shi responded, but from his expression, Wang Shilu could see that his mind had not yet turned, and it was estimated that he was still thinking that Jun Shangbai would take a tiger from him, and he would like to contribute a few sets of new toys before leaving, and he was sulking!
Wang Shilu couldn't help but feel envious of Wang Shi, what a fool is a fool!
Li Kang did not explain, as a courtier, he naturally had to share the worries of the king.
"Lao Wang, it will be difficult for your business to be hot in the future!" Wang Shilu sighed.
"Ah, why?" said Wang Shi in confusion.
Wang Shilu had an expression of "knowing things like a god", and said, "Do you think, did you ask you to prepare toys for the future sons before you left?"
"Yes!" As soon as he mentioned this, Wang Shi's mood was a little low.
"Then you're not happy?" Wang Shilu exclaimed in surprise.
"Why should I be happy?"
"Do you think, even the toys that your son's son plays with are made by your Wang carpenter, what will others think? They will only think that your Wang carpenter's toys are good, otherwise why would you also use your toys?" Okay, originally Wang Shilu wanted to say "What the king approves, others will approve", but he was afraid that Wang Shi would not be able to react, so he said a few more words, trying to make his meaning more straightforward.
Behold...
"Didn't you ask me to prepare toys for his son because I knew me?" Wang Shi scratched his head and said with a look of surprise.
Burst... Wang Shilu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and at the same time, he looked at Wang Shi with a gaze that looked like a god.
I'm so tired![.]
