Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 428 People Are Iron, Food Is Steel

Here, after Qin Hao hung up the phone, he found tools in the utility room, so he set off for the woodcarving shop. These days, he walked around Yunmiao Village in his free time, and arrived at the door of the woodcarving shop with ease. When I entered the door, I heard someone being scolded.

"Look at you, you know how to play with your mobile phone all day long, and you are impetuous. Look at what kind of mess you carve. It's strange that you can learn skills like you."

Needless to say, it must be Xie Heshun who scolded people. This is a typical veteran craftsman. It only takes a few minutes for mechanical engraving and half a month for manual engraving, so the natural cost is also very different.

Nowadays, people are very impetuous. People who buy wood carvings are basically used for decoration, or as small ornaments. Who cares about artistry?The decline of hand-carving is an indisputable fact, but Xie Heshun has not seen the changes of the times, and blindly blames the young people for their lack of patience.

Take ancient times as an example, why did the apprentices willingly work for the master for free, and even show filial piety during the festivals?That's because your craftsmanship can fill the stomachs of apprentices. To put it bluntly, Xie Heshun is the inheritor of the state-level intangible cultural heritage. He is famous and naturally has no worries about orders, but what about his apprentices?How can people settle down to learn from him when they can't even eat enough?
"Hey, Teacher Xie is training his apprentices again."

The appearance of Qin Hao made Xie Xiaoxia and another apprentice secretly relieved.

Xie Heshun glared at the two apprentices: "Let me see you playing with your mobile phones later, and see how I deal with you. Hurry up and go to work."

The two returned to the workshop in despair.

"Why do you have time to come to my place today?" Xie Heshun didn't like Qin Hao very much. In his opinion, Qin Hao didn't work hard to make money at a good age, and went to Yunmiao Village to idle all day, so he was not a serious person.

Qin Hao didn't care either: "Mr. Xie, I'm going to make a recliner chair. I plan to get some wood from you. I don't need any good wood. As long as it's strong enough, scraps will do."

"Can you still work as a carpenter?" Xie Heshun was very surprised.

"It can be regarded as carpentry, but not a carpenter."

"Okay, come with me." Xie Heshun was very satisfied with Qin Hao's precise words. In his opinion, his talent is called a carpenter, and those who help people build houses and make furniture can only be regarded as carpenters. .

Opening the warehouse door, Xie Heshun pointed to a pile of discarded wood with different rules: "These are all of them, but we don't have a saw table here. If you want to use it, you have to use a manual saw."

"Okay, Mr. Xie, I will lend you some tools to use."

"As long as you know what you have here, you can use it as you like."

Qin Hao laughed secretly, this was to test whether he could use those traditional carpentry tools, back then in the romantic world of blood, all he used were traditional tools, this was not a problem for him.

Taking a scrapped tree root, Qin Hao measured the size with a tape measure, marked it, and then began to cut the root with a manual saw.

The creaking sound spread to the workshop of the woodcarving shop. Xie Xiaoxia and Xie Xiaoxia looked at each other, then hid outside the door and peeked in quietly.

Qin Hao's movements were very fast. In about 15 minutes, he sawed several tree roots into long strips of wood. Then he put a piece of wood on the table, fixed both ends with nails, and put the other wood on the bottom. Then find a net planer from the pile of carpenter's tools, and start to smooth the surface of the wood.

Xie Heshun saw that Qin Hao's hands and feet were quick and skillful, and his eyes almost popped out. At first, he thought that Qin Hao could only put together a small bench, but he didn't expect that this kid was really good at it.

For about an hour, a curved recliner that could rock back and forth gradually took shape in Qin Hao's hands.

Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Qin Hao stood up and stretched, only to find Xie Heshun staring blankly at the recliner.

"Mr. Xie, do you have paint here?"

Only then did Xie Heshun come back to his senses, pretending not to care, and pointed to the corner of the wall: "The wood carvings here are never painted, only wax."

"The wax is just right, so as not to lose the smell."

Xie Heshun twitched the corners of Qin Hao's mouth for Qin Hao's behavior of not treating himself as an outsider at all. He was embarrassed to say anything, so he turned around and walked out, only to run into two apprentices who were lying on their backs and peeping through the crack of the door.

Now Xie Heshun was depressed and scolded the two apprentices until they left.

Qin Hao was mixing the wax, and Xie Xiaoxia sneaked in sneakily, saying with admiration.

"Brother Hao, I think your craftsmanship is better than those carpenters in our village. Aren't you from the city? How can you do this?"

Qin Hao casually made up a reason: "My grandfather was a carpenter, and I helped him when I was a child. I learned a little bit after watching a lot."

"Is this still called fur?" Xie Xiaoxia smacked her lips: "Brother Hao, do you think being a carpenter has a better future than woodcarving?"

Qin Hao laughed: "How do you know that carpenters have a better future than woodcarvers?"

Xie Xiaoxia said with a sad face: "You see that you have finished a reclining chair so quickly. Our master carved a piece of wood for half a month. This reclining chair can at least sit on it. What about the wooden carving? Just hang it there, not suitable for eating. Inappropriate."

Another woodcarving apprentice also nodded approvingly.

Qin Hao couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You guys are still pragmatists."

"Fortunately, you are always surfing the Internet. Look at the price of a chair on the Internet. It takes only a few minutes to produce it on the assembly line of the factory. I am tired from working here for more than an hour. They sell a chair for more than ten and twenty yuan. I Can you compete with others?"

"Industrialization is the first to eliminate the handicraft workshops of the small peasant economy. Wood carving still has some artistic value that cannot be replaced by machine carving. Learn from me as a carpenter? Learn to drink the northwest wind?"

Both of Xie Xiaoxia were disillusioned when they heard the words.

"But, Brother Hao, look at my master's woodcarving shop. Many of the works of the woodcarving masters in the village have been placed here for many years, and they can't be sold at all. It will take us many years to reach their level. How do we support ourselves these years? ah?"

This is indeed a problem. It is said that the cultural heritage of the ancestors must be passed on and cannot be broken in the hands of this generation, but the actual problem is that these cultural heritages are difficult to learn and do not make money. People always have to live in the real world .

"The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Now it is the age of mobile Internet. No one knows about the best things, so how can anyone buy them? I saw Mr. Xie's craftsmanship, it is really great. People who like woodcarving, They should still be willing to spend money to buy it, but the crux of the problem is how to let those people see it and still buy it.”

Qin Hao asked Xie Xiaoxia to help carry the recliner back to the windy courtyard. The courtyard is well ventilated, so waxing there is easier to dry.

In the small courtyard, Master Ma was still meditating. He was still unmoved by the arrival of Qin Hao and Xie Xiaoxia, but when they turned around to wax the recliner, they quietly opened their eyes and took a look.

"I also thought about live broadcasting to bring goods, but no one watched it, and my master refused to let me, saying that I was not doing my job properly." Xie Xiaoxia said dejectedly.

For Xie Xiaoxia, there are only two words to describe her: honesty.

Honest people often have one characteristic: the axis, such an honest person let him work hard, he is a good hand, but let him deal with people, that is to use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, and later Xie Xiaoxia was cheated of money , It is also the reason why he is not good at communicating with people and easily trusts others.

Don’t look at many anchors who don’t have much talent. It seems that a person sits in front of the camera and brags to others. It seems that the live broadcast industry can be done by anyone. In fact, the anchor is actually a bit similar to the host. You have to clearly grasp the audience in the live broadcast room It is a technical task to mobilize their emotions, and it is basically impossible to expect Xie Xiaoxia to understand this.

Qin Hao thought for a while: "Xiaoxia, let me give you a suggestion. Instead of doing live broadcasts, you might as well make short videos. As for the content, don't carve those big pieces, just carve those relatively easy small ones. , Grasshopper and other gadgets, don’t do it in a woodcarving shop. You can practice your craft while recording at home at night. You can go chat with Xie Zhiyao and see if he can help you find someone to edit. Or you can learn how to do it yourself, and then open an online store or something, and hand over the operation to him, anyway, he has opened so many online stores, you are not bad, just give him a certain amount of profit."

Xie Xiaoxia's eyes lit up, and she patted her thigh: "That's right, Brother Hao, you're smart, why didn't I think of that, I'll go find Big Brother right away."

"This kid..." Qin Hao looked at Xie Xiaoxia's back and smiled.

"It's finally clean."

Turning around, Master Ma had already opened his eyes, and put down his crossed legs. It seemed that he was numb from sitting, and was shaking all the time.

Qin Hao laughed: "Hey, Master Ma, I thought you had entered the state of forgetting things and me when you were meditating, and you couldn't hear what was said outside."

Master Ma straightened his back and stood up while suppressing the discomfort in his legs: "I am also a monk halfway through, and I haven't reached that level yet, but this meditation is still very effective. I calm my mind and put all my troubles behind me." Do you want to try that feeling?"

Qin Hao scoffed at Master Ma's Amway, this is not an era of revival of spiritual energy, do you still want to live forever by meditating?

"Master Ma, you still have troubles. If you don't tell me, I'll help you solve them."

In an instant, the smile on Master Ma's face froze, and then he crossed his legs again, closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

Qin Hao ignored him. After waxing the recliner, he went back to the house and found a piece of paper. He wrote on it: Don't touch it when it's dry. He stuck it with a branch, and inserted the branch into the gap between the bricks.

After finishing the work, I went to the small kitchen to wash my hands. Seeing that it was time for dinner, I simply went to the market to buy some food and came back.

Ma Ye, who was meditating, suddenly smelled a strong smell of meat, and his stomach began to growl in disbelief.

"What is this kid doing? Why is it so fragrant? Stewed meat?"

Upstairs, Barley, who had just woken up, was also attracted by the scent, and poked his head out from the balcony to look down.

"Wow, it smells so good."

Attracted by the delicious food, Damai plucked up the courage to go downstairs, came to the middle of the small courtyard, saw the reclining chair, and subconsciously came up with an idea.

"This chair should be very comfortable to lie on, right?"

However, in the next second, he saw the vertical note next to him.

"Did he write this word? What a chic word."

At this time, Qin Hao just came out of the pot, turned around and saw Damai staring straight at the reclining chair, he couldn't help being a little funny.

"I haven't done it yet. I have to wait until tomorrow afternoon."

Damai was taken aback, and suddenly had an urge to run away.

"The great writer hasn't eaten yet, right? I happen to have done too much, let's eat some together."

The temptation of delicious food caused Damai's brain to lose the authority to control her legs. Even though her social fear made her resist contact with strangers, her body still approached the small kitchen honestly.

"Wow, braised pork, bacon and garlic sprouts, and hot and sour potato shreds are all my favorites."

Da Mai felt that liquid was constantly being secreted in his mouth, and he barely let it flow out by closing his mouth tightly.

"Don't be dazed, this is a dish and not a work of art, you can't get enough just looking at it."

Seeing Damai's cute look, Qin Hao couldn't help being amused, and gave her a piece of braised pork.

Now the barley completely surrendered, this braised pork is too tempting, go to the social fear it is aiming at!She wants to eat!

"Wow~~~ It's great, this fat and thin taste is simply too delicious."

Qin Hao laughed: "Eat more if it tastes good. You are always upside down day and night, and your diet is irregular. You need to eat some nutritious supplements."

"thanks."

"You can call me Lao Qin or Brother Hao."

"Thank you Brother Hao."

The two of them here were having a good time eating, but the horse master was too greedy, and he was too embarrassed to spoil his image of a master, but seeing that the dishes on the plate were getting less and less, the horse master couldn't bear it any longer, so hurry up He stood up, but his legs were still paralyzed, and he fell directly on the meditation table. The pain made him grit his teeth, but he got up immediately, afraid that Qin Hao and Damai would see his distressed appearance.

"Ahem, are you eating?" Master Ma greeted tentatively.

Damai didn't understand Ma Ye's meaning at all, he nodded blankly, and then continued to dig into the rice.

Then, with a "grunt", Barley stopped what he was doing, looked at Qin Hao, who was eating, ruled out that it must not be him, then there was only one person, and turned to look at Master Ma.

Embarrassment was written all over Ma Ye's face.

Seeing this, Qin Hao waved at Master Ma: "Master Ma hasn't eaten yet, let's go together."

"That's good."

"I'm sorry then."

Seeing that half of the dishes on the plate had been wiped out, Master Ma couldn't hold back anymore, and hurriedly served himself a meal.

"Oh~~~Xiao Qin, your craftsmanship is simply amazing. If you open a restaurant, I will eat at your place every day."

Damai looked at Ma Ye, who had always been detached from the outside world, like a starved ghost reincarnated. She didn't realize it for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she found that the food was about to be snatched up by this starving ghost, bah, by Ma Ye , and quickly started to join the food grabbing session.

"Hi~~~ I'm so full."

"Huh, Shu Tan, it's so comfortable."

Qin Hao couldn't help but joked: "Master Ma, I thought you had already reached the realm of bigu, but you still have to eat whole grains."

Lord Ma: .
Seeing Ma Ye's awkward yet polite smile, Damai looked at Qin Hao and smiled.
