In a small courtyard near Zuojiazhuang, Chu Heng looked at a red sandalwood cabinet with inlaid enamel cloud and dragon patterns in front of him with a smile on his face. This is a typical Cantonese style furniture. It combines inlaid enamel, filigree enamel, copper hollow flowers, and chiseled copper.
The integration of various craftsmanship into one, the craftsmanship level can be said to be extremely exquisite, even among the many Ming and Qing furniture he collected, it can be ranked first-class.
"Good stuff, good stuff!"
He gently stroked the tangled branches on the cabinet and couldn't help but sigh again.
Then he took out a big bag of rat poison from the warehouse and sprinkled it carefully throughout the house to prevent his treasures from being damaged by rats. Then he raised his head and checked the roof to see if there was any leakage.
, and then walked out of the room.
He quickly walked out of the yard and went next door to find the two men looking after the house.
"Oh, you're done, Mr. Chu."
The two brothers were sitting on the kang having a pleasant drink at this time. When they saw him coming in, they hurriedly put down their wine glasses, handed over a cigarette, and invited: "Let's have a drink together? I went to the guest house of your unit to buy a vegetarian lion head.
Very fragrant!"
"You guys drink." Chu Heng took the cigarette casually, waited for a man to light it for him, and then snorted and said, "But don't drink too much, stay awake day and night.
Don't let anyone steal my furniture!"
"It can't be done, it can't be done. We both understand this, so we just drink two taels each."
The two brothers hurriedly promised.
"Just understand." Chu Heng nodded and warned: "Also, go find Du San later and ask him to arrange for two more people to come over. You will take turns watching here and get a few more dogs to raise.
This way you can feel more relaxed."
"Besides, don't forget to check the roofs of those houses before spring starts. Make sure they don't leak! If the rain soaks my things, I won't be done with you!"
"clear."
"Remember."
The two of them responded.
"Okay, just drink, I'll leave first."
"We will send you off."
"Don't send me away. I don't want anyone else to leave."
Chu Heng waved his hand, raised his buttocks and walked out of the house, driving back to Banchang Hutong.
So far.
He was finally at leisure.
Every day he either spends time with his wife and children or wanders around the city. Today he plays two games of chess with Old Man Lian, and tomorrow he meets someone for a drink. Life is leisurely and boring.
In this way, a week passed by in a hurry.
During this week, many things happened in the city, but not many were related to Chu Heng. Those that were worth mentioning, and those who were barely above him, were Du San, An Rongyuan and the others.
That's the matter over there.
Chu Heng's sudden suspension caused many stubborn leaders in the city to misunderstand this signal and thought that Chu Heng had fallen. So they showed up one after another and caused trouble for Du San'er and the others.
But it's not a big problem.
After all, Chu Heng didn't really fall. So far, with his secret support, the trouble has been basically eliminated by Du San and others.
Everything started to become quiet again.
Well, at least that's the case for Chu Heng and a series of characters under his name.
You can continue playing music and dancing!
This day.
Just after breakfast, Chu Zhecheng came to his father, pulled down his pants, raised his head, and said eagerly: "Dad, didn't you say you would do it for me yesterday? When will you do it?"
"
"Do it now, let's go." Chu Heng happily bent down and picked up his son, walked out of the main room and walked to the front yard warehouse.
The meaning of "尜尜" is spinning top. Many people have traces of it in their childhood. One end is pointed and the other is flat. It is officially called a top, but in some places it is also called Zhuanniu, "尜尜", "binggyo", etc.
The gameplay is a flat, clean and relatively smooth field. First, wrap the whip rope tightly around the whip, hold the whip in one hand, and hold the pointed downward whip in the other hand, or place the whip on the ground, and then pull the whip quickly
, the 尜尜 will spin upright on the ground, and then use a whip to continuously whip the 尜尜 to keep it stable and rotate at a high speed. When its rotation speed slows down, just whip it a few more times.
There are several ways to make 尜尜. Some people just look for a screw knot, put coal in the stove and heat it up, then smash an iron bead or glass bead into it. The more sophisticated ones will also pour some colored wax oil into the screw knot.
It will look better when turned.
Another method is to use wood, sharpen it with a knife, cut it flat, round it, and then insert an iron bead or something like that into the sharp end.
What Chu Heng wanted to make was made of wood, but people in large households are very particular about it, so the wood they used could not be common pine, willow or the like.
After Ya brought his son to the warehouse, he dug out a few iron beads, and found a hammer, a knife, a hand saw and other items. Then, while Chu Zhecheng wasn't paying attention, he took out a round red sandalwood ball from the warehouse he carried with him.
Shaped table legs.
The legs of the table are thick at the top and thin at the bottom. They feel great in the hand and are moderately heavy. He used this thing to beat a sap several times in the early days. Later, when he got a higher status, he never used it again and kept lying in the warehouse gathering ashes.
It wasn't until today when I was about to make a 尜尰 for my son that I remembered it. I planned to destroy it and make a few 尜尰 for the children to play with.
"Let's go!"
Carrying a pile of things, the father and son returned to the backyard.
Because he was worried about dirtying the house, Chu Heng did not enter the house. When he came to the backyard patio, he put all the things on the stone table in the pavilion. Then he took the table legs, put them on the stone bench and stepped on them with his feet, and then used a hand saw.
After a few gestures, I prepared to cut a few sections and make a few more for the children. One for Chu Zhecheng, one for Huniu, one for Xu Jingshu, one for Xu Jingshu, one for Xu Jingshu, and one for Liu Hong...Eh? This stupid girl hasn't been here for a while.
?
Chu Heng, who was painting, suddenly thought of that little annoying guy. He hadn't seen it for a long time, but he still thought about it.
"Hey, are you going to use this to make a baby's nest?"
At this time, Yang Guizhi, who had just finished his work, came to the backyard. When he saw the table legs in his hand, his eyes lit up and he said: "This wood is very good. It would be a pity to saw it. How about keeping it to make a rolling pin? I just have the one at home."
It fell to the ground a few days ago and broke."
"Hey, it's okay. There are plenty of these. I'll touch one for you later." Chu Heng said with a smile.
"Then don't forget it."
When Yang Guizhi heard this, she didn't stop her and went into the deaf old lady's house.
Immediately, Chu Heng started to saw, and sawed for a long time before sawing the table legs into several sections. The red sandalwood was hard and difficult to saw.
After it was done, he took the piece of wood into the main room, sat at the dining table and whittled the wood bit by bit with a knife. Chu Zhecheng stood watching with unblinking eyes, full of expectation.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Chu Heng did not move. He was still concentrating on whittling wood. After a while, Yang Guizhi led the guest in.
It was Xiao Wenjing, the red soldier mother with the huge millstone whom I had not seen since my visit that day.
