The Situation of Merchant Killing

Chapter 156 Ingenuity
"What is the 'craftsman's heart'?"

It seemed that Long Mingyi was not talking to Lu Qian in front of him, but was exchanging ideas with Lu Qian's late father.

Lu Qian thought for a while and said, "I don't know if this is the 'craftsman's heart' that Mr. Long refers to. When I was young, I once made dumplings with my father, and he spoke to me very seriously."

The Spring Festival of that year.Lu Qian and his father were making dumplings together. Hearing the sound of firecrackers outside, his father might have had a sudden realization, or maybe it was just the right time to tell Lu Qian something.

Father picked up a dumpling and told Lu Qian: Our ancestors have been making this dumpling for almost 2000 years.Some people love it, some don't, some say it's good and some say it's bad, but dumplings are just dumplings, and since it has survived, there must be a reason.We make dumplings, and we also serve dumplings to our guests.We do it in a down-to-earth manner, and if the guests eat it in a down-to-earth manner, this dumpling will not disappear.

Lu Qian's father sighed: "Maybe one day, dumplings will no longer be popular, and fashionable bread will be everywhere. We can no longer make a living by selling dumplings. Son, you should also remember that if you don't make it, you have to know how to make it. Pass it on to your son. , Pass it on to your grandson. This craft can’t be lost.”

Lu Qian came out of his memory and said: "When my father made dumplings, there was no secret recipe. The Lu family's secret recipe was gradually thought of by my father during the process of making dumplings. Why did only my father think of it? Because my father makes a lot of dumplings every day. .His skills should have reached perfection. The size of every piece of skin he rolls, every filling, and every dumpling is almost the same.”

"Is this because of the '[-]-hour law'?" Long Mingyi said, "Your father was rightly named 'Dumpling Emperor'."

"I think the 'ingenuity' mentioned by Mr. Long should be the state of my father making dumplings." Lu Qian said yearningly: "There are no distracting thoughts in my heart. Like a martial arts novel, there are no 'dumplings' in my hands and no 'dumplings' in my heart." .If there is nothing, is there any defect in the dumpling?"

Long Ming was shocked.

If you don't want to do many things, you can't do them well.Sometimes I really want to do it, but often I can't do it well.

Mr. Lu, this is normal heart!Every dumpling is normal, not too many, not too little, not light, not heavy, not big, not small, treat each dumpling impartially, how can there be any reason why it is not delicious?

"Taught." Long Ming held up the tea in front of him, respecting the old man of the Lu family.

If a person only does one thing in his life, he must be a master of it.

A person who only does one thing in his life and can maintain a normal mind, not laughing, not annoyed, not happy, not sad, then he is a master.

Because he has nothing but love for this matter.

………………

The Shen sisters and Xu Chen came to the Japanese grocery store that Xu Chen mentioned.

Is it expensive?After all, Xu Chen has a high income, so she can afford to eat every day.

What she prefers is the chef.

But it is not the liking between men and women, but more admiration.

After Shen Yiren and Shen Yixin tasted the sushi, they kept admiring it.

"It's expensive for his own reasons." Xu Chen put one in his mouth, "This chef has learned to make this for a long time. The learning of every skill is calculated on a yearly basis. A piece of sushi needs to be kneaded repeatedly, how can the ingredients be brought into full play? to the extreme."

Shen Yiren nodded, "It's really great."

"When he makes every sushi, he is making a work of art." Xu Chen said: "This should be a craftsman."

Shen Yiren said: "Then I think Zeng Yang is also a craftsman. Because even if she is not feeling well, she never has idle time. She has to practice every day. If she really can't get up, she will watch the dance video with her eyes. Every movement of her looks beautiful, and behind it is her hard work day and night and continuous correction."

"On the stage, one share of spring and autumn paintings, and off stage, ten years of cold and summer skills." Xu Chen nodded, "Having become a monk halfway, it is really not easy for her to achieve this level."

Shen Yixin smiled, "Me too? I'm so cute..."

"If you don't get angry, it's considered a help." Shen Yiren sneered at her.

"Everywhere I go, the customs, customs, anecdotes and allusions are all recorded." Shen Yixin said: "Xiao Xixi said that I should publish it on the Internet so that everyone can have a reference."

Xu Chen said, "I support you very much on this point."

Xu Chen is often slaughtered when she goes out, both at home and abroad. 100 yuan to buy shells for Shen Yiren, to buy a high imitation commemorative coin, to detour, to play with things that are not fun, this is what she often does.

"Then do it well." Shen Yiren said: "You are already a well-known VLOG blogger! Maybe one day, you will become popular too."

Shen Yixin thinks about it beautifully, "Wherever I go at that time, I will be invited by others. I will stay in the hotel for free, ride the plane for free, and play for free."

Shen Yiren was helpless, "I'm still playing in my mind. 'Playing like a master'."

………………

At Lu Qian's house, he made dumplings for Long Mingyi again.

Lu Qian brought up the dumplings and said, "I've been imitating, but I've never surpassed."

Long Mingyi said: "Your father's will, you have adhered to it very well. As long as you keep at it, you can't surpass it, and there are still your children, and your children's children."

"Mr. Long is right." Lu Qian said: "In the century-old and thousand-year inheritance, there must be a master-level craftsman who has made this skill better. But the skill is not only passed down by him, but by him." It is thousands of disciples and grandchildren, relying on everyone inheriting the legacy of their ancestors and constantly honing their skills, this is the spirit of craftsmanship, and it is the demeanor that a great country should have."

Long Ming felt that there was something in Lu Qian's words.

"Mr. Long." Lu Qian said, "What do you think of me announcing the formula?"

"You want..." Long Ming didn't turn the corner on Lu Qian's proposal.

"Announce the recipe." Lu Qian said, "Jiaohuang's dumplings have really entered thousands of households."

"But..." Long Mingyi didn't know what would happen after the announcement.

Lu Qian said: "Actually, it's not a big problem. People won't be able to make it just because they know the recipe. The configuration of this stuffing takes time and effort. Modern people's pace is so fast, it may not really be able to take the time to do it. "

"However, the Dumpling Emperor's dumplings will be passed on." Long Mingyi said, "Is that what you mean?"

"Yes." Lu Qian said: "No one of my brother's children likes to do this. Think about it and don't blame the children. In fact, Lu Rang can't do it. How can I expect the children? I don't want the dumpling emperor to be lost. I You can’t carry forward your level. You told me about your ingenuity today, and I have a deep feeling for it.”

Lu Qian interrupted what Long Ming wanted to persuade him. "When I was young, I loved to watch martial arts movies. There is a good saying in "Fearless", 'Leave secrecy behind'. Now maybe it's time to let go of this 'secrecy'."

Long Mingyi said: "I advise you to communicate with your family more before making a decision."

"That's what I have in mind." Lu Qian said, "Mr. Long is right, we still need to ask his family members for their opinions."

Long Mingyi said: "There are many issues involved in this. Because of interests, the first to bear the brunt, people in Dumpling Emperor will oppose it, and your family will also oppose it."

"Boss Long is right." Lu Qian said, "This matter really can't be done with a slap on the head."

Long Mingyi said with admiration: "But I want to say, Mr. Lu, you have a 'selfless heart'. This is also ingenuity."

"Thank you." Lu Qian had never been so happy.He smiled very brightly.
