Alice visits the company again and asks Lin Liu to take her on a tour of the Temple of Literature. The visit was mainly for commercial purposes, and as the influence of Confucian culture in the world grew, the chairman of an American company planned to fund the construction of a temple of literature out of worship of Confucius, and commissioned Alice to inspect and contract the construction business. At first, Alice didn't dare to take on this business, after all, she was not very familiar with China's ancient buildings, but she had confidence after communicating with Linliu on the phone. Alice was accompanied by an architectural designer who is said to be highly accomplished and well-known in the American industry.

Lin Liu likes traditional culture, has also dabbled in the knowledge of ancient architecture, and has a full understanding of the local Confucian Temple in advance, and the preparation of classes is very sufficient.

Under the leadership of the person in charge of the Confucian Temple, Lin Liu and Alice visited the Confucian Temple. Lin Liu introduced the relevant knowledge of the Temple of Literature:

This Confucian Temple, built in the Song and Jin dynasties, the original site in the north of the city, because of the flood, Ming Hongwu fifteen years, the county Cheng Lu let choose the site to move to build, the successive dynasties expanded, the Qing Dynasty Kangxi forty-one years, the county order Zhang Hong renovated the main hall, built the ancestral hall, covers an area of more than 30 acres, built a hall, hall, pavilion, Zhai, Xu, pavilion, nearly 100 rooms. The main building is Dacheng Palace, the base of the hall is brick, stone mixed building, the main hall is the heavy eaves nine ridges rest mountain style building, the green tile Zhu Yong, the wing angle is flying, the carved beam is painted in the building. Eight stone pillars are carved in high relief with two dragons playing with pearls, floating clouds and waves, and the carving is delicate. Dacheng Hall is the most complete existing ancient building in southwest Lu and the highest artistic value.

Originally, the middle-aged American male designer heard Alice say that he went to the remote southwest town of Lu to show disdain and reluctance, because of Alice's face to come here reluctantly, when he saw the beautiful ancient buildings, and then heard the fluent and vivid English introduction of the Oriental beauty, he excitedly shook his curled yellow beard, gave a thumbs up and kept saying "OK".

This Confucian Temple is more in line with the requirements of the owner than the Qufu Confucian Temple, and the designer reported the situation to the chairman of the United States, and the other party determined that this Confucian Temple was basically copied. After obtaining the consent of the cultural management department, the designer will take comprehensive photos and measurements in order to draw drawings.

Compared with a gourd, the drawings are easy to draw, but the traditional Chinese style architect is difficult to find in the United States, and the matter of finding an architect falls on Lin Liu's shoulders.

As for masonry, Lin Liu first consulted his father, who said that he and his co-workers were fully capable of the job. In this way, my father found ten skilled masters for backup. But it is difficult to find a carpenter who can carve carefully. Lin Liu took the photo and looked for several high-level carpentry masters, all of whom said that it was difficult to do this job, and that it could only be done well under the guidance of a master who was proficient in this work. Where to find such a master? Lin Liu went to Qufu to ask the carpentry masters who were all over the ancient buildings, but they didn't dare to lead the way. Back in the county, Lin Liu went to inquire about experts who studied local literature and history. The expert told her that it had been built once in 1982, and that many masters had been sought at that time, but they could not do it, and finally found a master carpenter in a small village in the north of the city, who was a skilled craftsman and could do this work.

Lin Liu drove to visit the master, and in a small village of only two or three hundred people, he inquired about the master's home. Lin Liu knocked on the door, and it was an old man with a hunched back who opened the door. Lin Liu explained his intentions, and the old man invited Lin Liu into the house.

Lin Liu saw that the house was full of relief ancient furniture, and there was a relief of Lin Feng Chengxiang, which was lifelike, Lin Liu asked, "Is this what you carved?" The old man replied, "I made the furniture, and I carved it." Lin Liu highly praised.

Linliu officially invited the old man to the United States to be a leading carpenter. The old man said: "I'm old, and I don't lack money to spend, so I don't want to go so far to work." ”

Lin Liu said: "Old man, if you don't go out of the mountain, we won't be able to take this job, we can't let foreigners look down on us and no one in China." ”

This stimulated the Fa Zhen worked, the master said: "In the Ming Dynasty, the county order Zhang Hong built the Dacheng Palace, which was invited to do the carpentry work done by my ancestors back then, and the county order beat the gongs and drums to invite, at that time a painter painted the lively scene, and I still have this painting in my collection." Up to now, my family has passed down the carpentry skills for more than 20 generations. ”

Lin Liu said: "Your family skills have been passed down for hundreds of years, which is admirable. In this way, I choose the ninth day of the first month and lead the suona team to invite your old man out of the mountain. ”

Lin Liu reported the situation to Alice, and Alice signed the letter of appointment. On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, gongs and drums were beaten, suona was played, firecrackers were set off, and Lin Liu came next to Alice to give the old gentleman a letter of appointment, which was very lively. The old master promised to go out of the mountain.

Linliu reached an agreement with a foreign-related labor export agency to handle labor export procedures for the hired personnel in the name of the labor export company.

These hired migrant workers are very responsible and do a good job, and Lin Liu keeps receiving praise calls from Alice. After more than half a year, a Temple of Literature was completed in the United States.

Lin Liu went to the United States to participate in the opening ceremony of the Confucian Temple, and at the ceremony attended by five or six hundred people, Lin Liu delivered a speech, expounding the essence of the Confucian spirit and the relationship between Qilin culture and Confucian culture, and publicizing China's excellent traditional culture. The news and photos of Lin Liu's speech were published in major American newspapers, and Lin Liu shocked tens of millions of readers in the United States with the elegant image of an oriental beauty.

Lin Liu did not deduct a single piece of wages from it. The chairman of the United States rewarded Linliu with $100,000 for his worries.
