Chapter 27 The test of the master 1
However, Yang Liulang has not left his hometown since he was born. As seen by the land boundary and age, his understanding of bamboo art can only stay for a certain extent.
Strictly speaking, in addition to seeing the goodsman who sells gadgets on the streets and alleys, Yang Liulang has compiled one or two things on the spot, and the rest of his understanding of bamboo art is from some books. But Yang Liulang's book is not good, so there are only a few miscellaneous essays that he can understand. Even if he can understand the words above, he doesn't understand the meaning.
But now that Master Nian intends to take the exam for Yang Liulang, Yang Liulang has to answer those things that he knows seriously and well, right?
I think the master will also know that Yang Liulang doesn't know much about this year. At best, he just wants to test whether Yang Liulang has such a convenient talent. Otherwise, if the master takes a stupid apprentice who can't teach, isn't it okay to ask for trouble?
So Master Nian looked straight at Yang Liulang as soon as he asked, as if he didn't want to miss any slight look on his face. Yang Liulang chose the simplest bamboo thing for safety. He pointed to the bamboo brush hanging in the corner of the wall and said cautiously: "My little nephew to bamboo I don't know much about art, or I don't have to come to pay a New Year's call as a teacher, but although my little nephew is clumsy, she can still see the quality of this thing, such as the bamboo brush hanging in the corner of the wall..."
Yuer followed Yang Liulang's eyes and looked at the corner of the wall and recognized the "bamboo brush" in Yang Liulang's mouth. It was actually a bamboo brush commonly used in modern countryside. Yuer had seen this bamboo brush in the countryside before, so he could recognize it at a glance. Yuer knew that most rural people in modern society used it to shabu. The bowl is just that the fish don't know what the people of the Northern Song Dynasty use the bamboo brush for.
Yang Liulang solved the fish's doubts in time, and saw him slowly say, "My little nephew has seen the man who often come to the village weave this kind of bamboo brush on the spot. The man usually takes a small piece of bamboo that has been cut in advance and tie the bamboo piece tightly with a red rope into a solid circle, and the place where it is tied can be As a place to hold, such a simple bamboo brush is ready.
Yang Liulang said and went to the corner and took down the bamboo brush that Master Nian hung on the wall. He pointed to the part of the hand and said, "But after seeing the bamboo brush made by Master Nian, he found that he could use a simpler and more convenient way to make this bamboo brush, and compared the two methods, the method of goods Lang was obviously better."
Master Nian reached out and touched the chin and asked with interest, "Oh? Then why can you say that my method can be called superior? If my method is better than that guy's method, what's the better?
Master Nian's two problems did not make Yang Liulang difficult at all, but he said confidently, "Forgive my little nephew boldly guessed how to brush the bamboo -- Master Nian, you should have taken about two knots of bamboo directly, leaving a small section enough to hold it, and then use the blade to the rest. A few knife marks were deeply engraved on the bamboo. After carving, take the stone and break the part of the knife carving. As soon as the bamboo in this section and a half was broken, the bamboo brushed.
Yang Liulang first told Master Nian's method of making bamboo brush, and then compared it with the man's method of brushing bamboo: "And we don't say anything else about the method of making bamboo brushing, that he said that he had to cut two sections of bamboo long into bamboo pieces of about the same size in advance, this It takes more effort than Master Nian's clever method, and the bamboo brush made may not be as good as Master Nian.
After listening to Yang Liulang's words, Master Nian secretly praised Yang Liulang's delicate mind and small bamboo brush for observing so carefully, but he obviously did not plan to simply test Yang Liulang like this. Therefore, after Yang Liulang finished talking about the beauty of bamboo brush, the look on Master Nian's face was still impenetrable. It will be difficult to speak again...
"Six boy, there are more than ten kinds of bamboo things in this room. Isn't it too far-fetched to take the smallest bamboo brush? You really seem to be very familiar with its practice, but I don't know if you can pick out the other things in this room and say it again?
Master Nian's words that obviously deepen the difficulty of the test made Yuer very depressed. She couldn't help poking and complain, "Master Nian, it's good for you to test my sixth brother once. My sixth brother is stupid and can't stand your many tests, so you reluctantly accept him as a stupid apprentice. Don't test him again, okay?"
Master Nian pinched the fish's little face with tears and laughing, and joked with her, "I understand that you dare to come to me today, not come to me as a happy fruit, but to your sixth brother as a lobbyist..."
Master Nian said this, and the fish was anxious at the moment. He actually blushed like a child and explained seriously: "Master Nian, you deliberately made fun of the fish! Yuer really came to be a pistachio for Master Nian, but he really couldn't bear to see the sixth brother continue to be stupid, so he said a few good words for him, and Yu'er only said two and a half good words for him!"
"Hahaha..."
Yuer's shy and annoying cute appearance suddenly changed to the master's cheerful laughter, but after Master Nian was amused by Yuer, he did not take the opportunity to let Yang Liulang go, and still insisted on his position and said, "Little Yuer, I can't really accept a stupid apprentice and make trouble for myself, can I? Besides, being a teacher and father for life, how can I choose a good choice if I am my son's apprentice? My test of the six children has just begun. If he can't stand it, it's better to take your father's house quickly..."
This time, without waiting for the fish to plead for him, Yang Liulang took the initiative to take the words of the master last year: "Master Nian, you don't have to pay attention to Yuer's childish words. Although it is the little nephew, the little nephew is willing to let Master Nian take the exam a few more times."
Master Nian bowed his head to Yuer and showed a rare smile and said, "Yuer, did you hear that? This time, I didn't deliberately want to embarrass your sixth brother. He volunteered to let me take the exam a few more times. You can't blame me!"
As soon as Yuer heard Master Nian's words, he immediately said, "I hate iron but not steel": "Sixth brother! You are such a stupid piece of wood! The fish ignores you!"
Yang Liulang looked at the fish with a doting face and coaxed softly, "Good sister, I know that you want to help Brother Six, but Brother Six wants Master Nian willingly accept Brother VI as an apprentice. Brother 6 will definitely be a good apprentice and hope that Master Nian can be a responsible good master."
Yang Liulang suddenly felt a little ashamed when he said this, and felt that he was a little shameless to always use the trick of "sing and selling good people" to achieve his goal, so he no longer quarreled with Yang Liulang and directly buried his head in the arms of Master Nian to repent...
After listening to Yang Liulang's words to coax the fish, a rare look of appreciation appeared on his face, and he slapped the case on the spot and said, "Okay, since you have such backbone, I will test you again, but I won't deliberately embarrass you, a half-year-old boy. You can choose another one in this room. Let's talk about the things made by bamboo at will!"
After listening to Master Nian's words, Yang Liulang began to slowly sweep through the bamboo utensils in the room, and quietly thought about which thing to choose to pass Master Nian's test. Yang Liulang looked at a bamboo mat beside the wall. In addition to bamboo pillows and bamboo fans, there was also a handful of bamboo on the bamboo mat. These are small things like bamboo brushing, so Yang Liulang did not intend to talk about them in detail, so Yang Liulang immediately decided to divert his eyes...
But just when Yang Liulang was about to divert his eyes, a thing on the bamboo mat suddenly attracted Yang Liulang's attention. In this way, Yang Liulang did not notice it because he only looked at the things on the bamboo mat. At present, he noticed that it immediately decided to talk about it, hoping to use this unusual thing. Things have passed the test of the master!
Yang Liulang strode to the bamboo mat by the wall, pointed to the bamboo cage on the bamboo mat and said, "Master Nian had previously said that the bamboo brush was too small, so the little nephew changed to talk about the big bamboo cage."
"Do you want to talk about this bamboo cage? I'm afraid that the whole Quanzhou government can't find a few bamboo craftsmen who can make bamboo cages, and the goodsmen you know are even more unlikely to make such bamboo things... Do you have the courage to pick it?
Master Nian was obviously surprised by Yang Liulang's choice, but he soon put away his unexpected look and unexpectedly relaxed the requirements of testing Yang Liulang: "If you want to say that this bamboo cage is also okay, but this bamboo cage is not a good thing because of its large size, so it is far smaller than that. Bamboo brushing is much more complicated. You don't have to talk about the practice of this bamboo cage, just pick some simple things and talk about it.
Master Nian's words can be said to be a big release of "opening one eye and closing the other", which made Yang Liulang feel more happy. After slightly clearing his thoughts, he took the lead in starting from the name of the bamboo cage: "The bamboo cage on the chairman seems ordinary, but it has a little-known good name."
The little fish first asked curiously, "Sixth brother, tell me what's the good name of this bamboo cage!"
"Outsiders will probably only vulgarly call it 'Bamboo Cage', but insiders will call it 'Mrs Bamboo'." Yang Liulang explained to the fish with a smile.
"Mrs. Zhu?"
As soon as the fish heard this, she immediately thought of a mythical story she had seen before - Tianluo girl! Could this bamboo cage, like the snail girl, become a beauty during the day and quietly prepare the food for the host?! Otherwise, why should it be called "Mrs. Bamboo"? This is obviously the name of a beautiful lady!
