"Alas! There is nothing we can do about it. In this era, fewer and fewer of the old things left behind are willing to learn. And after the tossing of that special period in the past few years, not much is left.
.If we continue to cherish our own craftsmanship, we will probably take this craftsmanship to the grave and leave. That would be a true disgrace to our ancestors."
Having said this, Uncle Long paused for a moment, turned to look at Liu Dong and said solemnly: "Xiaodong, when you become a master of jade carving or wood carving, you must remember to pass on your craftsmanship. There are many traditional crafts of our nation.
Keep a little fire! If all carvings become machines in the future, then we will be sinners!"
Uncle Long's words gave Liu Dong a huge shock. Before, he had always thought about learning sculpture and making money. Even though he was rich now, he thought more about himself. He had never considered inheritance like Uncle Long.
Uncle Long does not have the responsibility to revitalize Chinese classical craftsmanship.
"Uncle Long, don't worry! I will always keep your instructions in mind. When I have the ability and the opportunity, I will definitely pass on carving and other traditional Chinese crafts!" Liu Dong promised solemnly.
road.
"Well! As long as you have this intention! It's worth my efforts in entrusting you with the foundation of Taiyi Pavilion!" Uncle Long patted Liu Dong's shoulder and said with a face full of joy.
At this moment, a large group of people ran out from the nearby factory building, and when they saw Uncle Long walking over, they all surrounded him.
"master!"
"Master, why are you here?"
"Master!"
…
The chaotic shouts were full of respect.
The smile on the old man's face at this moment was the happiest and kindest smile Liu Dong had ever seen in the nearly three years he had known him. Standing next to him, Liu Dong could feel the joy in the old man's heart at this moment.
"Haha. Okay, okay! Stop shouting! I heard you!" The old man's eyes narrowed as he laughed.
Hearing his voice, the people around him gradually calmed down.
"Master, why did you come here today without telling us in advance so that we could pick you up!" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a burly figure. A typical Shandong man.
.
"Haha, I'm not an important person. I don't need you to work hard." The old man waved his hand, "Okay, don't hang around me. It's hot outside at noon. Let's go! Let's go to eat. You must be hungry too.
Got it!"
"Okay, master, please come first!" said the middle-aged man who just started to speak.
"Why don't you invite me? I don't have many rules. Let's go together!"
After hearing what the old man said, everyone smiled. They gathered around Uncle Long and walked into a large room next to him. Liu Dong, who followed him in, discovered that this was a restaurant. However, most of the place was empty.
Less than one-tenth of the place is still used.
In fact, Liu Dong also understood when he saw this place. It was probably the canteen of the original paper factory. Later, after the factory closed down, the furniture factory people used it again.
"Master, you are here!"
Seeing the old man come in, a middle-aged woman who was carrying a pot of fried shredded potatoes came out of the kitchen at the back and greeted him with a surprised expression.
"Yeah, I have nothing to do at home, come and take a look!" the old man said with a smile.
"Huifen, the master is here. You call Xiao Hui and the others to prepare a good meal for the master. Make more chicken, duck, and fish!" the middle-aged man ordered loudly.
"I know!" The middle-aged woman agreed and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Seeing this, the old man smiled and said nothing.
"Here, master, do it!" The middle-aged man said respectfully as he walked to a table in the center of the restaurant.
"Okay, Zhiguang! This isn't the first time I've come here, so don't be so polite to me! You can sit wherever you like!" But despite saying this, everyone sat down next to the old man in turn according to their status.
But Liu Dong was the only exception. Uncle Long asked him to sit on his left hand side.
In China, the left is respected, which shows how much the old man values Liu Dong. However, people around him basically don’t know Liu Dong, so they are a little confused when they see this situation.
Everyone's expressions naturally fell into Uncle Long's eyes.
"Come, let me introduce to you. This is Liu Dong whom I have often mentioned to you before!"
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Dong. I'm meeting you for the first time today. Please take care of me!" Liu Dong said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, Brother Liu! I have heard my master praise you in front of us more than once. He said that you are very talented in carving."
"Uncle Long took care of me, otherwise I wouldn't be here today!" Liu Dong said sincerely, which made the people next to him feel good about him.
"My name is Zhao Zhiguang, and I am the master's eldest apprentice! I am very happy to meet you today!"
"Me too!" As they said, the two of them clasped their right hands.
"Haha, okay, we're going to have a nice drink later!" Zhao Zhiguang said with a cheerful smile.
"No problem!" Liu Dong agreed happily.
Although he usually doesn't drink, Liu Dong also knows that the best and fastest way to get closer to these people is at the wine table. Especially between the happy Shandong guys, who can drink
are friends.
"Hello, my name is Zu Ping, and I am the master's third apprentice!"
…
Then everyone stood up one by one to introduce themselves to Liu Dong, and with his excellent memory, Liu Dong also remembered them one by one.
In the middle, Uncle Long kept watching from the side with a smile, but didn't say anything.
After more than ten minutes, everyone was introduced, and the dishes to be tested were brought out one by one.
"Huifen, bring me all the wine in the kitchen. Today our brothers and sisters are going to have a drink with Xiaodong!" Although Liu Dong is ordinary, he has a natural affinity for people with straightforward tempers.
Yes, he has already become familiar with these disciples of Uncle Long.
"Okay, you wait!" After hearing this, she put down the fried meat and shredded potatoes in her hand, and walked towards the back.
Soon, they took out a dozen middle-aged women with a dozen bottles of Erguotou sorghum wine.
"Here you drink first! I'll cook for you!"
"Hurry up!" Zhao Zhiguang ordered.
At this time, Liu Dong also understood from their language and the altar that the two were husband and wife.
"Come on, Xiaodong!" As he said that, Zhao Zhiguang pulled off the bottle cap, and then gave Liu Dong a full glass with a "gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp!"
As the saying goes, 'Wine should be filled full and tea should be half filled'! To pour wine dissatisfied is disrespectful to others. Liu Dong also knew this, so he didn't stop him in the process.
"Brother Zhao, I can pour the wine myself!"
"Haha, it's okay!" After filling Liu Dong's bowl, Zhao Zhiguang filled it for himself.
"Second brother, third child, and everyone else who can drink, please pour the wine. Xiaodong is here for the first time today, so we can't neglect him!" Zhao Zhiguang greeted.
"good!"
"Don't worry, brother!"
…
"Master, since you are old, we won't let you drink anymore!" Zhao Zhiguang said.
"Haha, it's okay! Just drink with Xiaodong! Don't worry about me!" Uncle Long smiled and waved his hand.
"Okay, let's raise a toast to Xiaodong!"
"Cheers!" everyone shouted together.
Seeing this, although Liu Dong had no love for liquor, he still had to drink it. Therefore, after seeing Zhao Zhiguang drink nearly two taels of liquor in the cup as if he wanted to drink boiled water, Liu Dong couldn't help but swallowed. He knew that he
Today I will probably go in straight and then go out lying down.
"Drink!" He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, raised his hands and raised his head, and drank all the contents of the cup.
After eating Erliang 56 Degree Red Star Erguotou, his mouth was full of spicy food. At the same time, Liu Dong seemed to feel a fire dragon rushing into his stomach, which was burning and uncomfortable.
Almost subconsciously, he used the nameless internal energy he had practiced since he was a child. Then the discomfort in his body disappeared little by little. His mind, which was a little dizzy due to drinking too much, gradually became sober. Then all the feelings were gone.
Disappeared.
"Hey, why didn't you know before that this unknown internal energy can also resolve the effects of alcoholism?" Liu Dong thought to himself.
Seeing that Liu Dong's face was not red, he was not out of breath, and his eyes were still clear, Uncle Long couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face.
"Haha, Xiaodong really has a good drinker!"
Zhao Zhiguang also had some surprise on his face. Liu Dong didn't expect to be able to drink so much at such a young age. Even he felt a little bit drunk after eating two or two Guotou, but Liu Dong didn't have anything wrong with him.
"It's okay!" This was cheating, so Liu Dong didn't say much.
"Haha, come and eat some food and try out my family's cooking skills!" Zhao Zhiguang said after serving Liu Dongman first.
Nodding, Liu Dong picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Many people came to toast Liu Dong, but Liu Dong himself drank until his glass was dry. Seeing how good he was at drinking, the people who originally clinked glasses with each other finally focused all their fire on Liu Dong. But this time
They were destined to hit an iron wall. There were hundreds of people drinking there, but in the end they were all beaten down by Liu Dong alone.
All Liu Dong paid was four trips to the toilet.
When most of the people got under the table and fell asleep, a group of young people next to them, probably in their teens, all looked at them with admiration, eating fried peanuts, and then
Liu Dong takes a sip of wine.
"Xiao...Xiaodong, uh, you...you are really good at drinking. I...I...I, Zhao Zhiguang, have never served anyone except my master...in my life. You...you are the second...
!" Zhao Zhiguang's face turned red, and he pointed his tongue toward Liu Dong. After extending his thumb, he rolled his eyes, and then with a 'bang' sound, he lay down on the table and fell asleep. (To be continued.)
