Chapter 1211 Become Your Teacher
Carpenter Lian was determined to use his superb craftsmanship to deceive him. No, he was here to open Yuan Zhou's eyes.
"Then it will be troublesome for even the carpenter." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
After finishing speaking, Yuanzhou took two steps back and found a good view to watch Lian Carpenter's craftsmanship.
Yuan Zhou wandered around the empty room for a while, being careful not to step on the wood and tools placed randomly on the ground. He carefully looked for a good view and then watched Lian Carpenter stop moving.
Yuan Zhou cherishes being able to watch Carpenter Lian working at close range. After all, the two of them are not related and this is a craft job. Yuan Zhou is naturally grateful to Carpenter Lian.
Even the carpenter rarely had the patience and good temper to wait for Yuan Zhou to find a good position before he started to demonstrate his skills.
It's just for display, because Lian Carpenter has a very bold idea in his heart.
Even the carpenter didn't speak when he was doing the work. In other words, he couldn't speak like Yuan Zhou when he was doing the work.
Even the carpenter's preliminary work has almost been done, and now it's basically debugging and assembling, which is how you can see the magic of mortise and tenon joints.
It doesn’t require a single nail or adhesive to create a beautiful, delicate yet durable chair.
Even the carpenter was quite young, with gray hair and a slight stoop, but when he looked at the wood in front of him, his eyes were extremely focused and bright, and he was very serious.
The fingers were rough, and with Yuan Zhou's eyesight he could still see the many wooden thorn wounds and old skin on the hands, but the arms were strong and strong, and the muscles swelled with Lian Carpenter's exertion.
Even the hand holding the wood did not shake at all due to age, but was very stable.
"Click!" The carpenter tapped the wood lightly, then held the wood on both sides firmly with his hands and joined them together at once.
The installation speed was very fast and the eyesight was accurate, even the carpenter's hands were not stopping. After a while, the armchair appeared completely in front of Yuan Zhou.
But Lian Carpenter did not stop, but continued to demonstrate the skills he just mentioned.
Of course, Carpenter Lian only showed some of the skills of mortise and tenon joints, which are like mechanism fitting, but didn't show much at all. After all, he didn't have much time and didn't make preparations in advance.
"Papa" Lian Carpenter stood up and dusted himself off, then asked.
"You are very powerful. You just used two lost carpentry skills." Yuan Zhou said immediately.
"Yes, I looked at it very carefully." Lian Carpenter felt more and more satisfied and nodded gently on his face.
"This is a rare opportunity, so of course you have to be careful." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"It is indeed a rare opportunity. Applying this skill to the bowl you just made should make the mechanism more perfect." Lian Carpenter pointed out.
"That's natural." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Want to learn?" Lian Carpenter looked calm and relaxed, but his heart was secretly tense.
"If you want to learn, you have to become your teacher." Lian Carpenter continued without waiting for Yuan Zhou to answer.
"Ah?" Yuan Zhou was a little confused and didn't understand why it suddenly developed to this point.
"I said that if you want to learn my skills, you have to become my teacher." Lian Carpenter repeated patiently.
I had no choice but to be impressed by Yuan Zhou's attitude towards cooking from the first time I met him. Then I went to the store to install the cabinets, and then this time the bowls and decorations.
That was such a talented person who was learning to be a carpenter that even a carpenter couldn't refuse. Not even the apprentices he accepted were so satisfactory.
Because those who are talented are not as hard-working as Yuan Zhou, and those who are hard-working are not as talented as Yuan Zhou. Those who are talented but work harder do not have the same mentality as Yuan Zhou, who is humble and willing to learn.
Therefore, Lian Carpenter came up with the idea of showing off his unique skills and then seducing Yuan Zhou into becoming his disciple.
Lian Carpenter was a little nervous, but he couldn't show it on his face. He just looked a little more serious.
"Okay, as long as you are willing, I am naturally willing." Yuan Zhou nodded in agreement without thinking much.
Yuan Zhou never hesitated to learn crafts from his master, just like learning from a rooster. Yuan Zhou also recognized Mr. Ma as his master.
"Ahem, as long as you agree, just come according to the normal apprenticeship ceremony. As for Zhou Shijie, we can discuss it separately." Lian Carpenter suppressed his smile and then explained.
"When do you think the ceremony is appropriate?" Yuan Zhou asked politely.
"I think it will be a good day in three days. There is no need to make a big deal. Just cook me a table of food yourself." Lian Carpenter's tone was much more approachable.
"Yes, master." Yuan Zhou shouted immediately.
"Well, you are so quick to see opportunities." Lian Carpenter said with a smile.
"Thank you, master, for being willing to teach me." Yuan Zhou said this very seriously.
"You are born with excellent qualifications. Even if I don't teach you personally or become an apprentice, you can always learn it." Even the carpenter said seriously.
"No, a master is a teacher. I'm far from good at carpentry." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"You don't need to say this. Even if you don't want to be a teacher today, I'm willing to teach you because of the ornaments and bowls you make." Carpenter Lian said.
Even the carpenter does think so. Even if Yuan Zhou doesn't become a disciple in the end, he still wants to teach Yuan Zhou these carpentry skills.
In this way, the skills will not be lost. Anyway, when he gets old, he won't need these unique skills to make a living. Even for the apprentices he accepts, he will teach them as long as they meet the requirements of being able to learn.
It's just that now only Yuan Zhou has met such a requirement.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou bent down and said seriously.
"If you didn't just say that a master is a teacher, you don't need to thank him." Lian Carpenter directly grabbed Yuan Zhou's arm and helped him up.
"Let's go, let's go. This is good news. Let's take people out to identify them first. There are two of my apprentices here." Carpenter Lian grabbed Yuan Zhou and walked out.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"By the way, you don't need to call them senior brother. Those bastards who have been studying for so long are not as good as you, a master of art. Let them call you senior brother." Lian Carpenter instructed.
"You all listen to Master." Yuan Zhou said with a smile.
"Are you so obedient that I won't let you learn to cook?" Lian Carpenter couldn't help teasing him when he saw Yuan Zhou's well-behaved look.
"You don't know how." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"How do you know, kid? If you didn't learn cooking, you wouldn't be able to concentrate on learning carpentry." Lian Carpenter curled his lips and said dissatisfied.
"Because I think my talent in cooking is higher than my talent in carpentry, and you don't want me to waste it." Yuanzhou said firmly.
"Well, you brat, you're still boasting. You're as shameless as that old man Zhou." Lian Carpenter scolded with a smile.
"I'm telling the truth. Thank you for your compliment." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"Gungun, you're the only serious person." Lian Carpenter said angrily.
This time Yuan Zhou didn't say anything and just smiled.
The carpenter paused for a moment before he said, "I won't stop you from learning to cook, otherwise the old man will kill me, but the carpenter can't delay it. You can learn my unique skills in one year."
"Don't learn too fast, otherwise there won't be much to teach you." Lian Carpenter added without waiting for Yuan Zhou to answer.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded in agreement.
"Tell me why your kid is so talented, eh." Lian Carpenter looked at Yuan Zhou and couldn't help but sigh.
"Maybe it's because I'm naturally talented." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said.
Lian Carpenter laughed angrily at Yuan Zhou's words, pointed at Yuan Zhou and took a step forward.
But Lian Carpenter took two steps and saw that Yuan Zhou hadn't moved, so he said angrily: "Follow me quickly, we still have to meet your junior brothers."
