Chapter 36: The Apprentice
At noon, Grandpa took the family to the restaurant.
"I'm sorry Ruize, I was supposed to entertain you at home, but Yuchuan didn't say it in advance, and I didn't go shopping in advance, so I didn't have time to do it at home, so let's go out for a meal today, don't you mind."
"Of course I don't mind my uncle."
When the group walked to the door, the grandfather suddenly remembered something, turned back again, and shouted in the direction of the studio: "Yi Kun!" Yi Kun! ”
The studio window was pushed open, and a man in a plaid shirt poked his head out.
The man's name is Chu Yikun, the apprentice of his grandfather Chen Changsheng, who has been learning nuclear carving from his grandfather for almost eight years. Chen Qingwu remembered that when Chu Yikun first came to Chen's house, she had just entered elementary school, and Chu Yikun was only eighteen or nineteen years old, quite tall, but she was a little shriveled and looked malnourished.
He said that he was from the mountains and was introduced to Master Chen, and wanted to learn the art of eating from Master Chen.
The old man had brought an apprentice for more than a year to change careers, and when he was lost, Chu Yikun suddenly appeared, and his grandfather felt that maybe it was fate, so he left him behind, and after taking it for a few days, the old man found that Chu Yikun was not only simple and calm, but also had very skillful hands, so he made up his mind to train him well and inherit the skill of nuclear carving.
This teaching is eight years.
Chu Yikun is also competitive, these years, he stayed with his grandfather, not only learned the craft, nuclear carving works frequently won awards, but also assisted his grandfather to set up the "nuclear carving school", for novices who want to learn nuclear carving to provide a platform for teaching and solving doubts, and accepted several of his own apprentices.
In the past few days, because his grandfather's nuclear carving exhibition is about to start, he has come over to help his grandfather complete some preliminary publicity work.
"What's wrong, master?" Chu Yikun asked.
Chen Changsheng beckoned to him: "We're going to Gangji on the other side to eat, let's go, you go with us." ”
Chu Yikun glanced at Han Ruize beside Chen Yuchuan: "I won't go to the master, there is still some work to be done in the morning." ”
"Don't be in a hurry at work, it's important not to go hungry."
Chu Yikun was a little hesitant.
At this time, Chen Yuchuan raised his head: "Ah Kun, come down quickly, don't grind!" ”
Chu Yikun was obedient and went downstairs obediently.
Gangji is just across the street, a ten-minute walk away, but Han Ruize had to drive everyone there, so everyone sat on his Cayenne.
When grandpa went out, he called in advance to book a place, and originally there was to be a long queue at this point, but the boss was a senior nuclear carving player and a loyal fan of grandpa, so grandpa made a phone call and said that he wanted to entertain his future son-in-law, and he immediately arranged a private room.
The dishes of Hong Kong Kee are very distinctive, and even Han Ruize, who is engaged in catering himself, is full of praise.
"If you like it, let Yuchuan often bring you over in the future, and come to the house by the way." Grandpa said.
"Uncle, you are not right, you must have asked Tamagawa to take me back to see you, and then come over to enjoy the food by the way. If I only think about food and don't think about you, then such a son-in-law, don't do it. ”
"Yes, yes, Ruize is right, 100 good filial piety is the first, 100 good filial piety is the first."
Han Ruize has a very high emotional intelligence, and he is humorous and funny, which makes the old man laugh from time to time, and the two of them talk happily, and even the aunt Chen Yuchuan is not very talkative.
This is probably the most successful case of meeting parents.
