Chapter 888 The Dish I Heard About
Just when Yuan Zhou was carefully looking for the carpenter Zhou Shijie was talking about, a clear sound of curses came from the noisy environment.
"You are a pig. How many times have you told me this is not how it is done? Go back and do it again." The curse was loud and clearly audible.
"Go away, all your food for so many years has gone into the dog's belly."
"Get away from me, I'll get annoyed when I see you."
"It's impossible to expect you to inherit my skills."
Before Yuan Zhou could react, he heard a series of scoldings, the sound was so loud that Yuan Zhou couldn't help but look over.
Because the distance was still a bit far, Yuan Zhou took two steps forward and realized that the sound was coming from the store called "Musheng".
This store is very unique. The shops next to it have either antique decoration or modern decoration. They are essentially cement-painted buildings, with occasional decorations of wood at most. This "Musheng" store is quite good. The door frame, lintel, lift, and wooden lions on both sides of the door are all decorated with wood from inside to outside.
Just like a wealthy family from a long time ago, the building is made of pure wood. With Yuanzhou's eyesight, he can still see that the furniture and decorations inside are also made of wood, and they are good wood, with beautiful wood grains.
"Are you stupid or have mold grown on your brain? Did you make the table like this?"
While Yuan Zhou was observing, a man inside wearing black trousers with his back to Yuan Zhou excitedly pointed at the man in front of him and yelled and cursed loudly. The table he mentioned was the Eight Immortals Table. According to Yuan Zhou’s layman’s perspective, Very good, I don’t understand what the criticism is.
"It looks like it's him." Yuan Zhou finally understood why Zhou Shijie said he could recognize him as soon as he saw him. It was indeed easy to recognize him. It turned out to be this, the one with the loudest temper and loudest voice.
Just then, the scolding person turned around. He was wearing black clothes and long trousers made of stain-resistant fabrics. His hair was a little gray, and he was carrying a load on his back. His fingers were very thick, his eyes were lowered, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he looked at each other. They seem harsh and difficult to get along with.
To be honest, his expression was still mean, but at a glance, one could tell that he was the carpenter Zhou Shijie was talking about.
Because he had a stern look on the person just now, as if he were across a mountain. From a distance, Yuan Zhou thought that the table looked good regardless of its appearance or stability.
But the person scolded him was useless, and the person being scolded also lowered his head and listened carefully, even though the man's voice was very harsh. Don't think it's painful to be scolded so badly, but the scariest thing is that no one scolds you. If you really follow the disciple's etiquette and learn a craft, it's impossible not to get scolded.
The man turned around and saw Yuan Zhou. His expression did not change. He angrily found a seat and sat down. He didn't care that his irritable appearance affected the store's business, and he didn't care about Yuan Zhou, a suspected customer.
"Hello, are you Master Lian, Carpenter Lian?" Yuan Zhou took the initiative to ask.
The old man who had just sat down now raised his head and stared at Yuan Zhou. The old man's eyes were a little different from ordinary ones. The pupils were very round, but the whites of the eyes were yellow and bloodshot. He stared at people, and paired with him The mean look on his face is really revealing.
Yuan Zhou was not timid at all. The two looked at each other for a while before the old man spoke.
"You are Yuan Zhou." The old man's tone was very firm, and he obviously knew Yuan Zhou.
"Yes, hello Carpenter Lian." Yuan Zhou greeted politely.
"What are you looking for me for?" Old Man Lian sat in his seat without moving, looking at Yuan Zhou and asked directly.
"I want to make a cabinet, which is quite special. It is used to store things. The room is small, but I want to store a lot of things. I would like to ask you to help me." Yuan Zhou said this very politely. Although the description was messy, it was clear.
"Old man, I won't take action for a long time." Lian Carpenter muttered.
Lian Carpenter raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Zhou. He didn't speak loudly, but was silent, seeming to be thinking about something.
Although Yuanzhou heard Lian Carpenter talking to himself, because Yuanzhou knew that he was not talking to him, he did not speak to him and just waited for his answer quietly.
"Young man, were you called here by Zhou Shijie?" Lian Carpenter asked.
"It was Chairman Zhou who told me that there is a master carpenter like you in the Jinfa Market." Yuanzhou had a rare insight and did not directly say no, but changed his way of speaking.
"Zhou Keng, please do something to embarrass me." Lian Carpenter continued to mutter, the expression on his face was obviously very dissatisfied, and he heard that he was called Zhou Keng. There must be a story in it, but Yuan Zhou couldn't ask. .
But fortunately, Lian Carpenter didn't get angry at Yuan Zhou.
The store became quiet, and no outsiders came for a while. Even the man who seemed to be the boss saw that Yuan Zhou and Lian Carpenter were talking. This tall and thin man huddled behind the hollow door. coming.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou and Carpenter Lian were suddenly the only ones left in the shop. Yuan Zhou stood casually and Carpenter Lian sat.
"To tell you the truth, I haven't done anything for a long time, and my hands are raw." Lian Carpenter spoke in a very stern tone.
"I believe in your craftsmanship, Master Lian." Yuan Zhou said immediately: "And President Zhou said that you are the top carpenter in the country."
Regarding Zhou Shijie's praise from Yuan Zhou, Lian Carpenter held his tongue indifferently. It was obvious that he did not believe that Zhou Shijie would praise him behind his back.
In fact, Zhou Shijie did not praise it much, but directly took a picture of his daughter's dressing table. To be honest, it is really beautiful. Even those expensive dressing tables outside are completely incomparable, let alone the mortise and tenon joints. There are too few people who know this skill now, and of course those provided by the system do not count.
It is not easy to meet such a craftsman, and the things that need to be placed on the cabinet are very precious. Naturally, Yuanzhou really wants a piece of furniture like this.
Being praised so uprightly by Yuan Zhou, even the carpenter choked for a moment, and then said after a pause: "It's not impossible to make a cabinet, but I have a condition."
When Lian Carpenter said this, he looked at Yuan Zhou's expression specifically and saw that Yuan Zhou looked calm, then he was a little dissatisfied, and paused to wait for Yuan Zhou to speak first.
"What are the conditions?" Yuan Zhou looked at Lian Carpenter's appearance and felt blessed for a moment, so he asked.
"Aren't you a famous chef, young man? I have heard of a dish that I have never seen or eaten. If you can make it, I will make a cabinet for you for free." Lian Carpenter had a very serious expression when he said this. confidence.
"The cabinet guarantees your satisfaction, but this dish must satisfy me."
It was as if Yuan Zhou was sure that he couldn't do it.
"What dish?" Yuan Zhou asked easily and naturally, already prepared in his heart.
With Yuan Zhou's current skills and knowledge, although there are many dishes that he can't cook, he can cook more dishes, so he is not afraid of this kind of challenge in cooking.
"Three-color beans, have you heard of it?" Lian Carpenter said.
