Hearing Xiao Wang's words, everyone in the car felt inexplicably worried.
Lost it, lost it!
What’s so embarrassing!?
The traditional craftsmanship has been lost!
Lost in the long river, lost in the changes of time!
They could feel the old man's pain and loss.
Are these things really useless?
Has it really lost its value?!
If that's the case, why can a bamboo basket sell for 700,000 today?!
Just because the other party is Japanese!?
What a nonsense!!!
Xiao Wang's words caused everyone in the car to fall into silence.
And this silence lasted until the destination!
"Master, this is it."
Xiao Wang pointed to the front and said.
He hadn't been home for a long time, and the joy of returning home dispelled his previous sadness, and he became happy again.
"Master, next to the bamboo forest in front is Grandpa Wang's home."
Xiao Wang pointed to the front and said that although he really wants to go home now, this is a business trip after all, and the mission must come first.
"Okay, Xiao Wang, go home and see your family. We can go alone."
Lu Xiaobu saw Xiao Wang's situation and immediately laughed.
"Uh...this."
Xiao Wang scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
However, he also knows that pretentiousness is not popular in the Lu Group!
so.
"Okay then! Master, I'll go take a look first and then I'll find you later."
Xiao Wang agreed, opened the car door, and ran away quickly.
From a distance, you can still hear Xiao Wang excitedly shouting with his hometown accent: "Dad! Mom! I'm back!"
Everyone in the car smiled.
It seems that this child is really homesick!
"Zhang Meng, let's move on."
Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan.
"Okay, young master."
Zhang Meng continued to drive forward.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the bamboo forest.
A house that couldn't be called shabby, but was shabby enough, appeared in front of everyone.
Before I even entered, I saw bamboo residue and waste piled up everywhere in the courtyard.
Of course, there are also many finished products.
However, these things are all covered with a layer of dust.
However, occasionally you can still see that the ash is relatively thin in some places. It seems that the finished product should be sold or left behind after being sent out.
Going further inside, I saw a skinny old man with a wrinkled face, sunken eye sockets, cloudy eyes, sitting on the threshold smoking a cigarette.
He kept his eyes fixed on the pile of bamboos, took a deep breath of the dry tobacco in his hand, and then exhaled it for a long time.
The next second, the long ash fell to the ground.
This scene seemed full of inexplicable sadness.
"Grandpa Wang. Grandpa Wang."
Lu Xiaobu shouted softly, breaking the scene.
"kindness?"
The old man seemed to be waking up from a big dream. He turned to look at Lu Xiaobu and the others, his eyes full of confusion.
"Are you Grandpa Wang who knows bamboo art?"
Lu Xiaobu did not dare to speak loudly for fear of scaring the old man.
"Bamboo? Pillar?" When the old man heard this word, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up: "Are you here to buy bamboo? Do you like this?"
As he spoke, the old man stood up and walked towards the pile of finished products, holding a rag in his hand.
It looks like it needs to be wiped off.
From a small movement, you can know that the old man still has not given up on this craft.
"Grandpa Wang, we don't want to buy it," Lu Xiaobu said softly.
"Ah? Don't buy it." Grandpa Wang's hand stopped in mid-air, with a look of obvious disappointment on his face.
"We are here to learn."
The second half of Lu Xiaobu's words came out.
Suddenly!
I saw Grandpa Wang, who was already very old, suddenly burst out with a fierce light in his eyes: "Study? You want to learn?!"
As he spoke, he walked towards Lu Xiaobu.
Lu Xiaobu quickly took Grandpa Wang's hand and said, "Yes, we are here to learn."
"Okay, okay! Great!"
Grandpa Wang couldn't help but feel like he was crying.
He was already in despair and was ready to take these into the coffin!
However, who would have thought, there is another village where there is a bright future and a bright future!
"Come on, come on, let me do it for you first." Grandpa Wang tremblingly pulled Lu Xiaobu to the side.
He wanted to show it first so as not to scare the hard-won students.
Lu Xiaobu didn't stop him, but nodded, it would be nice to see him.
Grandpa Wang pulled Lu Xiaobula into the empty living room.
This is where he works.
Grandpa Wang sat down, and saw that his hand, which was originally trembling, suddenly became stable again the moment he touched the bamboo.
The bamboo began to fly in his hands, constantly weaving, mixing, and forming!
While Grandpa Wang was compiling it, he began to explain it to Lu Xiaobu.
The explanation was also mixed with stories about his past.
"This craft, I had to beg my master for a year, and then worked as a handyman for nine years before I learned it. It's a good craft!"
"In our time, there was a saying that one craft is worth three acres of fertile land."
"Actually, I can't say how much I love this craft. At first, I learned it with the idea of finding a job."
"Later, my master saw that I was patient and willing to learn, so he finally taught me slowly."
"But, after doing this for a lifetime, this thing has been integrated into my bones. You say you want to let it go, but you really can't let it go!"
"In the past, I looked directly at my superiors and thought that I had to do the same as my master did in the past, selecting disciples with good character, patience, and willingness to learn, then I would teach."
"But, it's different now. As long as you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach!"
"I really don't want to bring these things into the coffin!"
The old man said nonchalantly.
There was a sense of sadness in his words.
What does it mean to be willing to teach if you are willing to learn?
That is, even if you are a bad person, as long as you are willing to learn, you can do it!
It is conceivable what is the reason for the inheritance standards of craftsmen to drop again and again.
It has even dropped to the point where if you are willing to learn, you are willing to teach!
However, even so, no one is willing to learn!
These words made Liang Lan and the other four girls unable to hold back their tears!
The sadness of the craftsman is vividly reflected in these words!
It is conceivable that if this continues.
These skills will definitely be lost one by one!
Even if it is lost, it is not terrible. What is terrible is that when you lose it, others are having great success and even declare it as an intangible cultural heritage!
After thousands of years, who still remembers that these things belong to the Celestial Dynasty?!
Is it true that at that time, we can only carry out the so-called resistance by shouting that what you are doing is wrong?!
If a craft is really worthless, then forget it. After all, the fittest survive and people cannot always live in the past!
But, he obviously does!
Why not inherit it?!
Of course, we all know the reasons. Survive first and develop later. You can’t even survive. These are all nonsense!
That’s why Lu Xiaobu decided to set up a school so that heirs of the craft could survive!
Well, let’s let today’s so-called masters recognize their ancestors and return to their clan! Hum!
