Chapter 1080 Does koi bring blessing or disaster (32)
There was a war disaster more than ten years ago, involving An County. Weishan Village was also affected to some extent. Half of the mountain temple in Weishan was destroyed, but it was later briefly repaired.
The damaged mountain temple fell into disrepair very quickly. After more than ten years, the mountain temple was in disrepair. The statue of the mountain god inside had lost most of its paint. Someone had long proposed to rebuild it, but the first problem was the money;
The difference lies in the reconstructed address.
After the story of the mountain god's apparition spread, someone proposed rebuilding the mountain temple. Villagers in each village responded, and each family donated some money.
Weishan Village is closest to the Shanshen Temple, and Jiao Lizheng became the main leader in rebuilding the Shanshen Temple.
Jiao Qizhong circled the newly built pavilion in the yard, clasping his hands behind his back with satisfaction and saying "not bad" and "not bad".
This made it clear in his mind.
Luo Genshan's carpenters are very skilled, but Luo Genshan only participated in the construction of the county's Chenghuang Temple twenty or thirty years ago, and also built wooden pavilions for some wealthy families. In recent years, most of them have made some furniture and appliances.
He has never made any big objects, so he is not very practical.
"Brother Luo's craftsmanship is still as good as before." Jiao Qizhong praised.
The pavilion is a four-cornered pavilion. It is not big, only five steps wide, but it gives people a sense of grandeur and grandeur.
The foundation pillars are solid and the brackets are overlapping and complex. A layman like Jiao Qizhong can tell that there is profound skill involved.
There are various patterns carved on the pavilion, and the paint colors are colorful and bright, which is no worse than the carvings and paintings in the Chenghuang Temple.
"Jiao Lizheng is one less person to praise." Luo Genshan smiled and his beard raised, "This pavilion has half of the credit of my apprentice Rouwazi."
He couldn't be more satisfied with his apprentice Zi Hua. He learned everything quickly and could make objects by himself within a month. The carvings on the cabinets were more delicate than his and he couldn't find any faults.
After he got the pattern given by Ju Hua, he couldn't help but feel itchy, so he built this four-cornered pavilion as a practice, using the structure of the pattern.
Seeing that Zihua learned quickly, he asked her to participate. This pavilion was built by their master and apprentice.
Jiao Qizhong was surprised. He knew that Hua Yuerou was learning crafts from Luo Genshan and Hua Qiuniang, but she had only been learning for a few months? Or were she learning both crafts together?
Having lived in the same village for decades, he knew that Mount Logan would never lie about his carpentry skills, so this was the truth.
"Congratulations to Brother Luo, a great teacher has given birth to a great disciple."
Luo Genshan was modest and said, "Everywhere, Rouwazi is talented."
Jiao Qizhong brought up business again, "Brother Luo, do you agree?"
Luo Genshan is from Weishan Village, and Luo Genshan takes the lead so that he can convince the leaders of other villages to rebuild on the original site.
As soon as the apparition of the mountain god came out, people in other villages wanted to build mountain temples near their villages. How could this work?
Six months ago, Luo Genshan would not have dared to take it, but with the drawings given to him by Zi Hua and having practiced building the four-cornered pavilion, he felt somewhat confident and accepted the offer.
When he participated in the construction of the Chenghuang Temple, he thought that if one day he could take the lead in building such a temple, he would not regret it even if he died.
But after that, he had very few opportunities to participate, let alone take a leading role.
He originally thought that this wish would never come true, but as he grew old, a great thing happened to him.
Jiao Lizheng said "Okay, okay" twice, "I'll leave it to you two, master and apprentice, to take the lead. You can do the math and see how many people are needed. Do the math and I'll discuss it with Li Zheng from other villages.
Depending on how many people are needed in a village, we will decide to start construction after the new year."
…
When Zihua and Hua Qiuniang came back from town, they heard what Luo Genshan said.
"Old man, you've got your wish now." Hua Qiuniang knew Luo Genshan's thoughts best, and changed her words, "It's all the blessing brought by Rouwazi.
Look, after Rouwazi came, we got whatever we wanted. Just say that yesterday, the big wild boar was frightened and didn't run away from anyone. It ran straight into our house. What a blessing."
Luo Genshan agreed, "That's what Qiuniang said."
The two of them accidentally got the truth right. After observing it, the Luo family's fortune became stronger and the house became a prosperous one.
A large part of this is due to Chen Caiyu. She allowed Chen Caiyu to use her abilities, and many blessings fell on the Luo family. Luo Genshan and Hua Qiuniang's luck was already good, and with Chen Caiyu's bonus,
Better luck.
She just knew it and didn't think of saying it.
"Master, it just so happened that I went shopping in town today and found a pattern of a wooden building." Yuhua gave the pattern to Luo Genshan.
Hua Qiuniang asked, "Did you buy this at that secondhand stall?" She had gone into the cloth shop to look at the cloth, and she didn't know what Zihua had bought.
"Yeah." In fact, it was Yuhua who made it herself. There happened to be some books for sale at the secondhand stall, so she followed suit.
She originally planned to give it to Mount Luogan during the Chinese New Year, but now she took it out in advance.
When Luo Genshan took a look, he was so sleepy that he felt like he was sleeping on the pillow. He was two points more confident.
"There's another good thing." Hua Qiuniang took out five ingots of silver from her basket and showed them to Luo Genshan, "Look what this is. I went to town today to sell dowry boxes, and I met a passing official's family member who was buying them.
I went and gave him ten taels of silver."
Luo Genshan laughed, "Qiuniang's craftsmanship should be worth so much."
Hua Qiuniang took out two ingots of silver and gave them to Zihua, "Rouwazi, you deserve this. Take it, if you hadn't dared to raise the price, you wouldn't have been able to sell it for ten taels. I only sold the last one for two taels."
Zi Hua confiscated it, "Master would be polite to me if he gave me money. Then should I give it to Master for food? I also sold one, so I have money to use."
In fact, if she had to tell her, the twelve zodiac signs of the dossier box was sold for less than ten taels of silver. The dossier box took Hua Qiuniang half a month. The twelve zodiac signs are three-dimensional and made of bamboo strips as thin as hair.
They are all made up, each one is lifelike, with a festive atmosphere.
There are no flaws or burrs inside or outside the box, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite.
What Hua Qiuniang lacks is fame. With fame, she can naturally sell for a higher price.
Seeing that Zihua refused to accept her offer, Hua Qiuniang gave up.
…
"Brother, many people have witnessed the apparition of the Mountain God. What are we doing with our vote...?" Liuzi looked at Boss Tu who was sitting in the seat with a sad face.
"Hmph." Wan San, who was sitting aside, snorted disdainfully, "The mountain god showing up is just a fabrication made up by some stupid people. If there really is a mountain god who hates evil, we, Longfeng Village, can still be here.
Standing?"
Liuzi argued, "Third brother, those people say they have noses and eyes. I found out clearly that the legs of Wang Gouzi from Gujia Village and Wang Gaozi from Wangjialou are too broken to be connected, and both of them are paralyzed and half dead."
Wan San curled his lips, "I think he's a guy who knows how to punch and kick, and he's just using the name of the Mountain God to bring trouble to those two people."
"Brother?"
Boss Tu slapped the table with his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan, "That's it, let's do it."
