Chapter 108 Li Mu Becomes a Hot Toy
A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
Wood carving is a traditional folk craft industry in Longguo. This industry has a long history, but it is not easy to find skilled craftsmen because this industry requires a lot of talent.
Hard work and perseverance are just the foundation; talent is the most important thing.
Without talent, one may be able to carve beautiful works through hard study and practice, but the vivid and lifelike state pursued by woodcarvers can never be achieved without talent.
This young man was able to figure out the mortise and tenon structure on his own just by reading a book. Although his technique in processing wood was rough, his stability and precision were very strong, much better than the students he had taught for several years.
This made him excited, and he quickly typed in the barrage:
[My dear, since you like to read books on this subject and can figure out how to make mortise and tenon joints by yourself, you must like working with wood, right? ]
"I like it, after all, it is the traditional skill of our Dragon Country." Li Mu said after seeing Wu Jinsheng's barrage.
[That's great. From the way you processed the wood just now, I can tell that you are very suitable for the wood carving industry.]
[I happen to have been dealing with wood all my life, and I have some skills. If you are willing, how about I teach you? ]
Li Mu was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and felt that this sentence sounded very familiar.
[Oh my god! Are you trying to take the anchor as your apprentice? ]
[What's going on? I'm just processing wood, but the woodcarving masters are here, and they want to recruit apprentices? ? ]
[Didn’t you hear the big guys say that the anchor is very talented? As the saying goes, experts know the ins and outs, but we just don’t understand. ]
[Hiss! I heard that the woodcarving industry attaches great importance to fame, teacher-student relationship and reputation. The president of the Longguo Woodcarving Association personally accepted an apprentice. It can be said that the anchor is going to rise to the top in the woodcarving industry in one step! ]
[President, look at me. I can endure any hardship! (Lemon)]
“I don’t think I have any talent.”
Li Mu scratched his head and said:
"This time it was because the cubs had grown up and the original nest was not big enough for them, so I wanted to build a new one for them. I was just doing it casually, but I didn't expect to attract you."
[Not only is he talented at such a young age, but he is also so humble. The young are indeed to be feared (smile)]
[You didn't realize it because you haven't been in this business and haven't thought about it in this way. I watched you process the wood the whole time, so I wouldn't be wrong.]
[I have taught many students, and I can tell at a glance whether someone has talent or not. Your talent is stronger than most of the students I have taught.]
[I have been passing down this little bit of technology for half my life, and no one has yet been able to learn it all, but I think you should be able to. ]
Li Mu pursed his lips and said nothing.
He was confused by what this master of wood carving said all of a sudden.
He obviously just wanted to build a new nest for the cubs.
He is a forest ranger, and his main job is to patrol the forests. After the patrol, he just wants to chat with yogurt, play with animals, and live a leisurely life in the mountains.
Suddenly asked him to learn wood carving, Li Mu was very
【Why is the anchor silent? 】
[Why does the host look a little reluctant? (Surprised)]
[Ah? This is the master Wu Jinsheng! The number one in Longguo woodcarving, any of his works can be sold for hundreds of thousands, but the anchor is unwilling? ]
[I am willing! President, look at me, I am willing to be your slave! ]
[People who are favored are fearless (tears)]
[The anchor is really good, so he is favored and fearless. Let’s forget about it. We can’t even see the big guys normally (sour)]
"Mr. Wu, I usually have to patrol the forest. Wood carving requires time and concentration to practice. I don't have enough time, and I'm afraid it will waste your energy."
Li Mu spoke carefully. Even without considering Wu Jinsheng's identity and title, he was still an elder and he couldn't refuse him too abruptly.
[Those who spend a lot of time practicing are those who are not talented. People with good talents like you don't need to do that. Just practice the basic skills well. ]
".I have been staying in the mountains, so it is not convenient for you to teach or something."
[It doesn't matter. I have written a few booklets about what I have learned and felt. You can just take a look at them. I will apply to the Forestry Bureau and go to your place for a few days to teach you the techniques. If you don't understand anything else, I can just watch the video to solve it.]
[Old Wu, why are you in the live studio? He doesn't have time to learn your woodcut technique.]
[Old Xu? How do you know he doesn't have time to learn? ]
[He is my apprentice. He needs to learn my medical skills. He doesn't have time to play with you carving wood.]
[Ah? Whose ID is this above? ]
[It seems like he knows Mr. Wu, another great expert? ]
[Xu Huajun, one of the leading figures in Longguo’s veterinary field, vice president of the Provincial Veterinary Association, and member of the Council of the World Organization for Animal Health. The above is the information found! ]
[I have made some progress. I met two great experts in the anchor’s live broadcast room (crying)]
[No wonder the host’s medical skills are so amazing! ]
Li Mu: “.”
Why are you still thinking of taking him as your apprentice?
[Nonsense, didn’t you say you would never accept any disciples in this life? ]
[I accepted it again, what's wrong? ]
[My dear, are you really Lao Xu's apprentice? ]
[Haha, Old Wu, you don't even know his name? You still want to take him as your apprentice?] "Old Xu came to me last time and said he wanted me to learn his medical skills." Li Mu thought and said, "But like I said just now, my main job is a forest ranger, so I don't have that much time."
[Old Xu, you look thicker after not seeing you for a few years? My friend didn't agree to your request, but you said you were his disciple.]
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Xu, please calm down." Li Mu saw the two masters arguing in the live broadcast room and hurried to persuade them to stop fighting.
"My phone is out of battery, so I'm going to stop now. I'll definitely come visit you two when I have the chance."
After saying that, he quickly turned off the live broadcast.
Two leading figures in their respective fields almost cursed at each other in his live broadcast room in order to accept him as their apprentice. It had a very bad impact.
There are so many people watching the live broadcast.
Li Mu sat on the wooden board and suddenly felt a headache.
"Lao Li, come and have dinner."
Brother Nan came out of the house holding two bowls, put them on the dining table in the yard and waved to him.
"coming."
Li Mu walked to the faucet to wash his hands, shook off the water droplets on his hands and walked to the dining table. Eating was the most important thing.
"Instant noodles?"
"Yeah, there's also fried eggs and ham. Turn it over. They're under the noodles."
"There's meat in the refrigerator and plenty of vegetables in the fields."
"Stop talking so much. Do you want to eat or not?" Brother Nan clenched his fists.
"I haven't eaten instant noodles for a long time. It tastes so good when I eat it suddenly." Li Mu picked up the bowl and took a big bite.
"Tsk!" Brother Nan loosened his fist and put a piece of dried mouse in the kitten's bowl.
"Buzz-"
Li Mu took out his mobile phone and saw a WeChat message from Mr. Xu.
"Who?"
"Old Xu."
"Mr. Xu? What did you say?"
Li Mu told Brother Nan what had just happened.
"Hey, that's normal." Brother Nan grinned after hearing this, "These two old men have a personal grudge."
"personal enmity?"
"Want to hear it?"
"Ah."
"Please, Brother Ben Nan."
"Don't talk about knocking me down."
"Oh!"
Li Mu lowered his head and ate noodles in silence.
Finally, Brother Nan couldn't help but tell him a piece of gossip: "I also heard that Mr. Wu and Mr. Xu knew each other when they were young and were good brothers. Then, they met a woman."
Li Mu was stunned after hearing this, and finally understood where the tension between the two came from.
After eating the instant noodles, Brother Nan was still not full, so he took out a few packs of snacks.
Li Mu picked a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips.
"By the way." Li Mu wiped his hands, took something out of his trouser pocket and handed it to Brother Nan, "This is for you."
"Wooden flowers?"
"I just carved it."
"What do you mean?"
".Isn't today Chinese Valentine's Day? You must have received a lot of flowers when you were out there?"
“No one dares to send it now.”
"?"
"These idiots, I treat them as my little brothers, but they actually gave me flowers!"
Brother Nan frowned and said, "After I gave them a few scoldings and threw flowers in front of them a few times, no one dared to send them flowers anymore."
"."
Li Mu remained silent.
"Try this, mine tastes like crayfish."
Brother Nan handed his potato chips to Li Mu and casually stuffed the wood flowers into his pocket with his other hand.
