Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 68 Master
Sister Cha smiled sweetly.

"Then have you ever watched "The Moon and Sixpence"? On the street full of sixpence, you looked up and saw the moonlight."

This is the classic work of the British writer Somerset Maugham.

Qin Luo couldn't help laughing softly.

This... I really haven't seen it.

However, suddenly there was a feeling of turning from poetry to philosophy of life, took a sip, waved his fan, and said: "The moon on the sea is the moon on the sky."

This is an uplink.

The second line is: the person in front of you is the person in your heart.

Sister Cha obviously understood.

But she didn't say the second couplet, she just said: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Qin Luo laughed again.

This sentence looks ordinary, but in fact it is also particular, it is a stalk.

Originated from the island nation.

Someone asked Natsume Soseki, a well-known writer in the island country, how to express "I love you" in Japanese. Natsume Soseki said, how can the people of his country be so unreserved. One sentence, the moonlight is beautiful tonight, is enough.

"We two... this can be regarded as the combination of Chinese and Western."

Qin Luo couldn't help sighing.

She blinked her eyes: "I won't do it anymore... Hahahaha... I'm better at expressing it with actions, okay?"

……

The two are flirting here...

The dark and quiet village was suddenly broken by the sound of the van's engine and lights. A van that Li Congcong usually drove slowly approached and stopped in front of the open space in front of his house.

He jumped down from the driver's seat, carrying two plastic bags in his hands, and walked quickly towards Qin Luo's side, where there was light.

"Luo Ge..."

He has said these two words very clearly now, and he never stutters.

Qin Luo was stunned for a moment.

I glanced at the time, it was 01:30 in the morning.

"You don't sleep well, what are you doing here?"

Qin Luo asked lightly.

In fact, I also have guesses in my heart.

He put the two plastic bags in his hand on the table, took out his mobile phone, and typed quickly: "I went to bed early when I went back. I woke up after seven o'clock. Come and have a look..."

"You sleep……"

"I brought grapes, grown in grandma's yard, and watermelons, chilled in well water."

The message was sent face to face, he looked at Qin Luo, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly.

Actively open the bag.

The purple grapes are round and big, freshly washed and still dripping with water.

The watermelon wasn't cut open, but when I touched it, my heart felt cold.

Sister Cha couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and looked at him with a smile.

This kid... is really caring.

"I'm going to get a fruit knife."

"Great, Cong Cong, thank you."

She said something as if she was praising a child, then got up and walked towards the courtyard.

Li Congcong smiled shyly again.

Standing in front of Qin Luo, he called again: "Brother Luo..."

Qin Luo nodded.

Staring at him for a few seconds: "Do you want to formally worship me as a teacher? Learn wood carving? Just nod if you think about it, and shake your head if you don't want to."

Li Congcong was stunned for a long time, his eyes were red all of a sudden, and there were crystal tears falling down, but there was a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"okokokok……"

Qin Luo smiled, stood up, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Apprenticeship tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter if I give you a piece of glory and wealth, at least I will give you a job that will last you a lifetime."

"Call your father over tomorrow, um, good day, ask him to be a witness."

……

After eating two pieces of watermelon, the heat of the whole body disappeared. Qin Luo explained the heat, took Sister Cha's hand, returned to the yard, and went upstairs.

Li Congcong looked at this figure, until Qin Luo completely disappeared from his sight, finally couldn't help it, and jumped up on the spot.

Like a child who gets a favorite toy.

It's really... an extremely pleasant surprise!
Originally, I just wanted to come and take a look, but I didn't expect that Brother Luo would promote himself so much.

After being happy for a while, he ran to the side of the kiln, carefully checked the heat and temperature, and after confirming that there was no problem, he sat back on the stool, took the folding fan Qin Luo left just now, and shook it by himself.

As if thinking of something, he quickly began to practice pronunciation.

"Master..."

He practiced these two characters over and over again until he was completely proficient, like "Luo Ge", and he no longer stuttered.

……

the next day.

At 10:30 noon, the Xi Shi pot comes out of the kiln.

In the morning, the whole family was busy in the yard, like a wedding or a funeral, preparing the water mat.

At the factory, there is no food in the cafeteria at noon today.

Everyone came to Qin Luo's house for dinner.

The reason for this banquet is, of course,... the apprentice banquet.

Even the banquet was prepared by the master himself.

In front of the main entrance of the living room on the first floor, there is now a chair, the Taishi chair, which is upright.

There is also a red carpet underneath.

Until noon...everyone arrived, and the six tables were full.

The incense-making apprentices in the factory have long known the reason for today's meal, and now they are quite excited.

Teacher Qin said before...

The best performer can worship him as a teacher, a real master!Not like the current teacher!

But I didn't expect that the first person to have this honor was actually the delivery boy who stuttered.

Just him.

How could it be him?

It's hard to speak.

However, thinking about it the other way around, Qin Luo is willing to accept even him, which is obviously because he is down-to-earth and obedient, and everyone else has a chance.

……

No particular time was chosen.

Feeling that it was almost time for people to arrive, Qin Luo asked his uncle to put a whip outside.

Qin Luo stood in front of the steps of the Taishi chair, cleared his throat, and spoke slowly.

"I invite everyone to dinner today. What's the reason? I want to take in an apprentice, the one standing in front of me, Li Congcong."

"I'm not a few years older than him. However, I have learned the truth first, and I have specialization in art. I know a few more crafts. From today on, my woodcarving crafts, the first apprentice I accept is Li Congcong."

"He's the first, but he won't be the last."

"I'm not ashamed to say that I have earned some money by relying on my craftsmanship. I can't guarantee that they will be rich if I accept apprentices, but as long as you follow me, you will definitely not starve to death."

"The ancients said that the teacher ranks fifth in the world. Now, of course, we don't pay attention to these things. However, we still follow the tradition of traditional craftsmanship. Of course, it is not so traditional, but we still try our best."

"Xiao Cong, three cups of tea, the first cup is for your father, the second cup is for me, and the third cup is for yourself."

Qin Luo talked a lot and explained to Li Congcong.

He understood immediately, took the first cup of tea respectfully with both hands, and presented it to his father Li Guoxu, then the second cup, and the third cup...

Drink tea.

Exhausted.

Qin Luocong took the box of carving knives handed over by Sister Cha: "This is the first set of wood carving knives I used, and I will give it to you now."

"Hey... don't kowtow, we don't want to kowtow, ah, take it."

"Go and eat."

Seeing that he even wanted to kowtow, Qin Luo helped him up, patted his shoulder and smiled.

In the yard, some students started to applaud, whoever took the lead.

Then the applause grew louder and louder.

Brother Luo, take an apprentice...

Think about it, what does it feel like for a boss who earns a million dollars a month to take you with him?
Many students' eyes became more and more eager.
