696: Is that called talent?
The next day, Lu Ze got up early.
The rising sun rises above the eastern horizon.
Lu Ze pushed open the door, and the air contained a fresh smell.
After washing, he stretched comfortably in the corridor on the second floor, the sky at this point in time showed a dark dark blue, and the color of the morning sun was yellow-orange-orange, and the shining place was smudged golden yellow.
Lu Ze looked under the parasol downstairs.
I saw that Ma Ye, who was suffering from practice clothes, had already begun to meditate at this time.
Lu Ze smiled slightly.
That is, in Yunmiao Village, if you stay in a northern city and meditate at this point, it is estimated that you will be frozen into an ice and snow man.
"Master Ma."
"Morning."
I saw that Ma Qiushan below slowly opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at Lu Ze in the corridor, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect Lu Ze, who had just arrived, to get up so early: "Xiao Lu, it's early." ”
"I'm used to waking up early."
The two men then spoke a few words, and then went their separate ways.
Lu Ze noticed that there was no movement in room No. 6 next door, thinking that Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing were still immersed in sleep, and rushed to Yunmiao Village in Dali after a tiring journey, and played in the village for a long time after eating yesterday.
When Lu Ze was about to go downstairs, the door of room No. 4 next door suddenly opened.
I saw a girl with a disheveled hair coming out of it yawning, her pink pajamas were wrinkled, and her face was full of exhaustion, looking like she had just finished the night.
Damai, who couldn't open his eyes, had a confused look on his face after seeing Lu Ze.
Only then did I remember that Sister Xiaochun seemed to have said in the group yesterday that there were newcomers moving in.
Lu Ze also recognized the identity of this girl, she was the big writer in Lin Na's mouth, everyone called her Damai, and her real name was Zhou Qingtian.
"Hello."
"My name is Lu Ze, and I live next door to you."
Big Mac nodded quickly: "Just call me Big Mac." ”
After speaking, do not wait for greetings.
Big Mac quickly ran in the direction of the kitchen, hoping to get something to eat and stabilize the temple, and hurry back to sleep.
The writer's biological clock is abnormal.
Like those esports pros, it's a night owl's routine.
Barley usually sleeps during the day and finds inspiration to write at night.
Lu Ze walked out of the small courtyard, planning to find a place to eat simply, although the price here is not expensive, but you can't come out to eat every day, although you know the layout of Yunmiao Village from Xie Xiaochun and Lin Na yesterday, you still have to go by yourself It is best to go by yourself.
Today's breakfast is a bowl of vegetarian rice noodles.
Inside the steaming rice noodles, sprinkle with sesame oil and chili oil, and eat it in a daze, you should go to school, go to work.
Lu Ze now... You don't have to go to school, you don't have to go to work.
Well... That's the beauty of life!
Early in the morning, sitting on the small mazaar on the side of the street, eating this hot breakfast, it feels very good.
After eating, Lu Ze leisurely walked around the whole village, and yesterday Lin Na gave Lu Ze a travel guide to Yunmiao Village, which has a very detailed introduction to the village.
"Wood carving workshop..."
When Lu Ze passed by, a middle-aged man happened to open the door inside.
"It's a new guest from Yunmiao Village, right?"
"Would you like to come in and have a walk?"
The woodcarver's name is Xie Heshun, who looks like he is in his fifties, with a kind face and a sincere smile on his face.
At this time, after seeing Lu Ze, he warmly invited him to enter the door.
Lu Ze smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”
Stepping through the threshold and entering, the smell of various woods came to the pavement, and there were various wooden carvings on display on the outhouse booth, Xie Heshun and Lu Ze introduced the types of wood carvings and the production process in detail.
Lu Ze listened quietly, occasionally asking a few small questions.
Of course, Lu Ze knew the past of this master Xie on the other side, Xie Heshun was the best wood carver in the village, and he had to wait in line for a long time to make a wood carving, so many young people were willing to follow him to learn wood carving skills in those years.
But in just over a decade, the wood carving business has plummeted.
Compared with Xie Heshun's meticulous wood carvings, people are more willing to buy cheaper and faster machine carvings.
At least they all look the same.
Even the machine-carved works should be displayed more perfectly.
Xie Heshun carved a lot of works, but these works were placed in his own home and could not be sold at all.
It's just that occasionally when there are foreign tourists in Yunmiao Village, they will patronize his wood carving works.
"The back room is messy, there are a lot of wooden embryos on display, if guests want to customize, they can choose wooden embryos, as well as the type of wood carving they want to carve."
Lu Ze is a little interested in this kind of wood carving.
Every boy is accompanied by a long wooden stick when he is young, and he imagines himself as a heroic swordsman.
"Then you can trouble me... Make a wooden sword? ”
Xie Heshun was stunned for a moment: "Wood... Wooden swords? ”
Lu Ze nodded, and then said his specific request, which was the appearance of Tianwen Sword in Lu Ze's mind.
Xie Heshun frowned, thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem." ”
Although this kind of wooden sword production is only required for the material, the specific production difficulty is obviously not as difficult as the general carving works, Xie Heshun is a very high-spirited, very proud producer, originally wanted to make some more difficult works, but today's first business, after all, is still to make some money.
"You live in a windy courtyard, right?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll have someone bring it to you."
Lu Ze shook his head and pointed in the direction of the back room: "No, I don't have anything to do, I just want to see your craftsmanship." ”
Xie Heshun smiled and nodded: "That's okay." ”
Not long after, Master Xie also carefully handed Lu Ze an unopened disposable mask.
Originally, Xie Heshun wanted to wait for the only apprentice in the store to come before he started.
It's just that as the sun rises higher and higher, and the bastard boy is not seen for a long time, Xie Heshun suppressed the anger in his heart and began to act alone.
The apprentice Xie Xiaoxia has been inattentive recently, always attracted by external things, a work has not been completed for several days, Xie Heshun can be said to hate him iron.
In the back room, Xie Heshun, who was focused, seemed to be a different person.
In accordance with Lu Ze's requirements, he quickly started construction, and Lu Ze's handwriting exceeded Xie Heshun's expectations.
There are a lot of ready-made wood in the store, and Lu Ze fell in love with the best large piece of golden silk nanmu at a glance, and carved a wooden sword with such wood, even Xie Heshun felt the slightest pain.
Lu Ze watched Xie Heshun quietly beside him.
All the steps were seen by Lu Ze, and the craft of carving really had to depend on the master, Xie Heshun's level was definitely not low, each step looked very pleasing to the eye, and the embryo of the wooden sword gradually emerged with the passage of time.
The process of carving shows Xie Heshun's craftsmanship.
Two and a half hours, hurried by.
The apprentice named Xie Xiaoxia tiptoed when he walked into the house, expecting to receive a scolding from Master Xie, but he didn't expect the sound of carvings and conversations coming from the back room.
"Today... Are there really customers coming to your door? ”
Xie Heshun in the house noticed the arrival of the apprentice.
But at this time, he didn't have the heart to teach this stinky boy a lesson, the carved wooden sword in his hand had come to an end at this time, and the remaining details of the polishing were more tests of the craftsman's skills, and he must keep his heart calm when carving.
Another half hour passed.
Xie Heshun breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead with a towel.
Lu Ze applauded lightly beside him: "Master Xie's craftsmanship is indeed amazing." ”
Lu Ze took over the wooden sword, which was almost exactly the same as the Tianwen sword in his mind, the hilt, the handle, the blade...
Xie Heshun first glared at Xie Xiaoxia, who was late for a long time, and then smiled at Lu Ze: "Mr. Lu, you are the first customer of the small shop today, and you have watched my carving process the whole way, so I will give you a matching scabbard later." ”
"That's a good dare." Lu Ze became interested in carving, and asked if he could pick a piece of wood and try his hand on his own, "Of course, Master Xie can charge as much as he wants." ”
Xie Heshun was a little hesitant.
It's not that there are no customers who want to try carving in the store, but this kind of wood carving is completely different from clay carving.
But looking at Lu Ze in front of him, he didn't look like a frizzy person.
It took so long to carve just now, Xie Heshun knew that the other party had no extra movements, except for glancing at his phone halfway, the rest of the time was carefully observed by the side.
This is a patient man.
Xie Heshun gritted his teeth and finally nodded: "Okay, then you just pay for the raw materials." ”
Then, Xie He explained the general techniques of carving to Lu Ze in detail by the way.
At Xie Heshun's suggestion, Lu Ze picked a piece of boxwood about the size of a children's washbasin, Xie Heshun helped cut the wood into the shape that Lu Ze needed, and two palm-sized boxwood embryos appeared in front of Lu Ze.
"I want to carve two wooden pendants."
"After the carving is completed, I may have to thank the master for polishing."
Xie Heshun's brows furrowed.
Carving this thing is not the smaller the better the carving, the type of wooden pendant is undoubtedly an extremely test of skill.
The apprentice Xie Xiaoxia sat down with a small horse with great interest, it is rare that there are guests who are willing to be interested in this kind of thing, Xie Xiaoxia has not learned much for many years, and the carving skills have always been at the level of half-hanging.
Lu Ze quickly began to move.
On this day, he went out and wore a long-sleeved shirt, the cuffs were lifted to his upper arm at the moment, and the muscles on Lu Ze's arm were occasionally revealed when carving, Xie Xiaoxia noticed that this guest turned out to be a strong man.
Time ticks by.
Xie Heshun, who was watching from the sidelines, had a look of surprise in his eyes from time to time.
Mr. Lu...
Have you ever been exposed to engraving before?
How does this look like it?
When Lu Ze was carving carefully, the sound of conversation came from outside the store.
"Red Bean, it should be here, right?"
"Lu Ze, this guy hasn't seen anyone all morning, why do you want to come and see someone carving wood carvings?"
Chen Nanxing held the arm of the red bean, and the two girlfriends talked and laughed, and walked into the store.
Xie Heshun walked out after hearing the voice, and after asking, he learned that he was looking for Lu Ze, so he said: "Mr. Lu is carving in the inner room now, you want to go in..."
Before the words fell, the two of them entered the back room.
The young man Xie Xiaoxia turned his head to look at the two young ladies who were extremely good-looking in temperament, and instantly froze in place.
These two young ladies... It seems to be better looking than Sister Na in the small courtyard.
After Xu Hongdou entered the door, he was attracted by Lu Ze over there.
People often say that men are the most handsome when they are serious, so now Lu Ze is obviously more handsome than when he was doing surgery, because this is the first time he has carved with his hands, and the long-lost spiritual attributes in his mind have been mobilized.
Xu Hongdou blinked his eyes and looked at Lu Ze silently.
At this time, Chen Nanxing was also very knowledgeable and chose to keep his mouth shut.
About ten minutes later, Lu Ze finally finished it.
I saw two exquisitely crafted wooden pendants appear in his hand, and the carved shapes of these two pendants are completely different, if you squint at it, you can vaguely see two different words emerging in the pendants.
Taking the pendant, Xie Heshun's lips were a little dry: "Lu... Mr. Lu, have you ever been exposed to engraving before? ”
Lu Ze shook his head and said truthfully: "No." ”
But I have been the most complicated in heart surgery.
He silently added in his heart.
Xie Heshun's face turned pale.
Lu Ze then smiled and said, "Please take it to polish Master Xie, you should also have a long rope here, right?" Please tie it up for me."
Xie Heshun walked away in a daze.
He couldn't understand why someone could do this for the first time.
No way.
This is not scientific!
Xu Hongdou stepped forward at this time, glanced at Lu Ze angrily, and snorted softly: "You don't send a message to the two of us when you go out, I have been looking for you for a long time after Nanxing and I woke up, and I thought something happened to you... Lu Ze, have you been here all morning? ”
Lu Ze put down the cuffs and nodded happily: "Yes, this wood carving workshop is very interesting." ”
Soon, Xie He came back with two wooden pendants tied with ropes.
Lu Ze directly gave the things to Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing: "Here, give it to the two of you, don't ask how much, this is exactly what I gave you, we need to distinguish clearly, but some things are really unnecessary." ”
Lu Zele paid the bill to Master Xie, took his wooden sword, and left the wood carving workshop.
"Master Xie, don't forget my scabbard."
......
In the store, Xie Heshun was silent.
Xie Xiaoxia over there was also hit with no skin, I wanted to see what strange things this guest finally typed, but I didn't expect that the other party really had something, the temperament when carving, and the master in front of him... It's a lot like.
Xie Heshun muttered, "Is this called talent?" ”
......
On the way back.
Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing were very happy.
"Lu Ze."
"Haven't you really learned to carve? But this pendant really looks like that! ”
Xu Hongdou gently stroked the pendant that had just been polished, the shape in the middle was strange, but there was a unique taste in it.
Lu Ze said lazily: "I haven't learned." But this thing... For me, it's not that hard. ”
