Chapter 216: Old carpenter's request (monthly pass plus more)

Two days later.
In Nong Mo Park, those old and aunts who were going to the park for morning exercises suddenly discovered that a security guard stopped them from entering the park.
"Sorry, the park is closed today and not open to the public."
These uncles and aunts are elites. Where would you believe this statement? It took only a few years for the construction of Mohu Park to take place, and where there will be rest, it is impossible to close the whole park.
"I think which big man came to play."
"Maybe yes, wasn't there a report last time that there was a leader coming recently?"
These uncles and aunts are idle and boring on weekdays, and many of them are retired from public office. The most favorite thing is to discuss some state affairs and just like to organize ministers underground.
"But most big people come here and remember to follow the report. Isn't it emphasizing democratization? Those leaders are very close to the people."
"Stupid, that was just a deliberate filming. Those big leaders' schedules were arranged a few months ago or even earlier. Those who can get close to the leaders have investigated for generations."
"Yeah, when I was the head of the village, there was a provincial leader who was coming down. The county asked us to make preparations one month in advance. The original dirt road was built in half a month. Those petitioners Households also have village cadres to do ideological work. In short, they are happy above, but at ease below, they are all happy."
...
So, in the mouth of these uncles and aunts, the news that a big leader came to Ruili and Nongmo Lake spread at a rapid speed, which attracted many people to watch around the park.
"Fang Ming, when I first came in from the park, I found these old men talking, saying that there is a big leader here, and it is still a big leader."
Hua Mingming just got bored and walked around the park gate. He almost laughed when he heard the comments of the old and grandmothers.
Where is there any big leader, but the Chen family donated 100 million yuan to the local government all at once, and then said that to build a pavilion in Nong Mo Lake, it would take one day to borrow Nong Mo Lake.
For the local government, they will not refuse. One million yuan will get Mohu’s right to use it for one day, no matter how it is bought or sold, there will be no loss, and Chen’s family will dare to demolish the building of Mohu. ?
Fang Ming smiled when he heard Hua Mingming's words. Well, the Chinese people like their guesses the most. The reason why they guessed it was to block the park. They were also afraid that some vision might leak out.
"Master Fang, the workers asked when they could pave the way."
"Has it been built yet?"
Looking at Chen Yang's father who came over, Fang Ming was a little surprised. Over a day, the speed of these stone masters is so fast?
"Well, it's almost the same."
"Go, let me go and see first."
There is a small island in the center of Nong Mo Lake. The island has not yet been developed, and no bridge has been built to reach it directly. Fang Ming took the boat.
At the very center of the small island, a brand-new pavilion stands there, but the roof of the pavilion has not been sealed, just a frame is made.
With the pavilion as the center, there are two newly excavated earth canals about 50 cm long, which meander to the boundary of the island.
"Master Fang, what should these workers do now?"
"Is the carpenter ready?"
"It's already done, and it's fast to come now."
"it is good."
Just as Fang Ming spoke with Chen's family, another ferryboat drove over. In addition to Chen million, many masters came carrying a piece of wood.
"Fang Xiaoyou, this is the famous carpenter teacher Wang Shengli in our city."
Chen million led an old man in his sixties. The old man was not tall, and the whole person was also thin, but his hands were protruding, especially his eyes.
"Boss Fang is a gentleman?" Wang Shengli looked at Fang Ming and asked directly.
"Why did the teacher say this?"
Fang Ming smiled and looked at Wang Shengli, because he believed that Chen million would not tell others his identity.
"It's very simple. Although the wooden post that President Chen made me look simple, the pattern on it is not simple at all, and both the specifications and the quantity meet the requirements of Feng Shui."
Mr. Wang Shengli had a brilliant look in his eyes and said frankly: "It is true, I have been a carpenter for so many years. This is not the first time I have encountered such a situation. I have also cooperated with several Feng Shui before. Mr. Fang is planning to arrange the Feng Shui Bureau? "
Even the Feng Shui Bureau knows that Fang Ming smiled. Sure enough, since ancient times, Yin and Yang carpenters have not been separated. In fact, many carpenter masters also know some Yin and Yang skills.
After all, among the many gods worshipped by Mr. Feng Shui, the carpenter ancestor Lu Ban was in the top ten.
"It is obvious that Mr. Fang might have asked these wooden posts to decorate the Feng Shui Bureau, so this time it was the old man who personally worked on it. Mr. Fang was not satisfied."
Chen million beside the side also explained: "Fang Xiaoyou, you may not know that Master Wang has not taken over for a long time, most of the time it is handled by his apprentices."
While speaking, the carpenter masters also lifted up the wooden pillars. When they saw the wooden pillars and the patterns on them, Fang Ming's eyes lit up, and next time he clenched his fists towards Wang Shengli, he was grateful: "Thank you, Master Wang. "
"Haha, Mr. Fang is satisfied."
In Wang Shengli's eyes, there is also a ray of self-confidence. He still has confidence in his craftsmanship, but then his face also shows a loss of color.
"Now the carpenter industry has been adjusted to zero. I originally had 13 apprentices, but now there are only four left in the carpenter industry. Who else will use wood to build a house? It's all reinforced concrete."
Hearing Wang Shengli’s words, Fang Ming also knew that this was the truth. There were fewer and fewer wooden houses. Except for some tourist attractions to attract tourists, wooden houses in many places were about to disappear.
Yunnan is fairly good. First, the tourism industry is strong, and second, the economy is not particularly developed. The southern coast is full of high-rise building commercial houses, and there are few wooden houses.
In fact, the emergence of industrialization has caused not only the decline of the carpenter industry, but also many traditional industries. In these traditional traditional industries, those young people who want to apprentice must give gifts first, and then give the master a year or two. After work, the master will only be satisfied if he is satisfied.
After all, this is a skill that can feed a family.
In ancient times, there was a saying that it is better to have a family wealth than a skill, because even with the skills, even if there is war or natural disasters, there is no skill to starve to death.
Therefore, it is a very serious matter to study art in ancient times. It is precisely this kind of strict test system that has one day to be a teacher for life and a father.
But this is not going to work now. After all, the society is stable now. Just ask someone if you want to make money or have a skill. I'm afraid you didn't hesitate to choose the former.
The reason is very simple. There is a lot of money just for the bank to eat interest. As long as it is not a bottomless squander, the life is still very comfortable.
"Mr. Fang, the old man has an unsympathetic feeling, and he hopes that Mr. Fang can agree."
Wang Shengli's expression became solemn. Fang Ming actually probably guessed it in his heart, but he nodded and signaled the other party to say it.
"The decline of the carpenter's line is the general trend, not the old age can be reversed, but the old age hopes that my apprentices can continue to stay in this line, so I want to give them a little confidence and let them know that the carpenter has other uses besides planing the wood. "
"Master Wang means to let your apprentice stay here to watch the final completion of the Feng Shui Bureau?"
"Yes." Wang Shengli nodded. "Although I have told them some feng shui knowledge on weekdays, but my apprentices have not seen it and I don't believe it. I want to take this opportunity to make them more determined to continue in the carpentry industry. Confidence, I also hope that Fang will fulfill first."
Wang Shengli clenched his fists towards Fang Ming, and Fang Ming quickly waved his hand, "Master Wang said seriously, for our Feng Shui master, the carpenter's line is equivalent to his left arm and right arm. I naturally do not want to see the decline of the carpenter's line, but I can do everything It is certain that one’s own strength will not be pushed away.
Fang Ming agreed, and what he said was not false.
Feng Shui masters and carpenters are inherently interdependent. In the past, regardless of whether the house was grounded or buried in a shady house, Mr. Feng Shui and the carpenter master were generally present at the same time, especially when the house was moved. The carpenter master was responsible for cheering. There is a custom of tossing buns, but even the carpenter master read the congratulatory message of Lu Ban.
Take the wood that Fang Ming wants this time, traditional carpenter masters use wood planer tools to cut out one knife at a time. What kind of wood and what size of wood are used for each plan are particular. .
This time, Wang Shengli brought all four apprentices, all around 40 years old, all honest people. For them, they will not leave the carpenter's life in this life because they are older and have no other craftsmanship. You can also live a life by doing short work for others.
But this is not the purpose of Wang Shengli. Wang Shengli wants to let his apprentices know the importance of the carpenter's line. It is hoped that after he leaves, his apprentice will be able to accept his apprentice and pass on his craft.
The frame of the pavilion was completed, and now it was almost time to get the wooden post up, but Fang Ming was not in a hurry to get Wang Shengli to take his apprentice.
Now, what the outsider can do is almost the same, what is missing is his layout.
"Chen Yang, come with me."
Fang Ming carried a bag and motioned to Chen Yang to follow him. As for the others, Fang Ming had arranged to leave the island and return to the park.
The law does not pass the six ears, the next layout will be the focus, and it cannot be revealed, even if he knows that the people present are not bad people, but the heart of precautions must be there.
