Chapter 28 Master's test 2
Yang Liulang saw the doubts and puzzles in the fish's eyes at a glance. He thought that the fish directly regarded "Mrs. Bamboo" as a human, so he quickly explained, "Sister, the 'Mrs. Zhu' mentioned by the sixth brother is just the name of the bamboo cage, not to which lady."
After saying that, Yang Liulang smiled hoarsely first, thinking that the fish was still young, and he might not be able to understand even if he explained it, so he no longer struggled with this point. Instead, he asked Master Nian, "Master Nian, has your little nephew wrong the name of this bamboo cage?"
Yang Liulang's ability to say the three words "Mrs. Bamboo" has shocked Master Nian, and the admiration on his face was unconcealed. He even nodded and promised, "I didn't expect you to know the name of this bamboo cage. It's really unexpected and impressive! But which shanger told you?
Yang Liulang shook his head and said, "This Mrs. Zhu's name was not told by any of his little nephew, but what his little nephew accidentally saw in an idle book. At that time, he was also attracted by this unique name, so he paid attention to look at it a few more and remembered it."
Yang Liulang recalled what he saw in the idle book that day. After recalling it clearly, he continued to say, "Mrs. Zhu has always been a favorite summer heat-repelling device for big guys, and she is also called 'green slaves' and 'bamboo slaves' by big guys. The specific method is to weave green bamboo into a long cage, or take a whole section of bamboo, and open a hole around the middle to ventilate. When it is hot, it can be placed in the bed to cool your hands and feet. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called 'Bamboo Knee' or 'Bamboo Ji', and it was renamed 'Mrs Bamboo' after our dynasty.
Yang Liulang first copied what he saw in the book. After moving it, he said modestly and truthfully: "My little nephew also happened to see a miscellaneous article that there was a bamboo-made summer appliance under the sky. My little nephew only saw a few drawings and Mrs. Zhu's production method in that book, but it was not true. I have met Mrs. Zhu, and I have never been lucky to see any master in preparation Mrs. Zhu.
Master Nian saw that although Yang Liulang had obtained some information related to Mrs. Zhu from the book, and he even knew the production method, he looked at him with some new eyes. Yang Liulang knew a lot of things, but he did not become arrogant because of this. Instead, he took the initiative and modestly showed that he only knew the paper and did not know the specific method made by Mrs. Zhu, and he did not dare to guarantee that the method in that book must make Mrs. Zhu. After all, Yang Liulang is not an experienced bamboo craftsman. Strength can be judged based on a few words.
However, Yang Liulang's ability to know so many things has surprised Master Nian! This exclamation made Master Nian take over the grass-woven sparrow in the fish's hand and carefully take it to his eyes for observation. After seeing the sparrow's weaving technique, Master Nian asked softly, "Six boy, did you make this sparrow yourself?"
Seeing Yang Liulang nodding and affirming, Master Nian's attitude finally changed a little, and he said, "You still know a little about bamboo utensils, and I won't test you anymore. Even if you pass this..."
As soon as Yuer heard Master Nian's words, he immediately clapped his hands to celebrate. Yang Dazhu and Yang Liulang's faces beside him were also full of joy, but before the three of them were happy, Master Nian suddenly turned his words and said, "But I still have to test whether you sincerely want to worship me as a teacher. My test... You are only After the first pass, there will be more you to take the exam!"
Master Nian's words immediately made the cheering fish in Master Nian's arms collapse his little face and protested indignantly: "Master Nian--"
Yuer deliberately dragged the ending long to show her resistance to pressure. After dragging enough, she muttered with a depressed face, "This has been tested twice. Haven't you tested enough? You are too strict, aren't you? Fish don't like strict masters, and fish like to release water..."
At this moment, the fish's little face smiled like a blooming flower. The previous little shame also made her throw it to the "Guala Kingdom". The little fish climbed on Master Nian's neck very "shamelessly", twisted her small body and kept acting coquettishly to the Nian master, trying to use her own must-kill skills to let Master Nian raise it. End the test before.
But even if the master has been softened by the fish this year, he is still the strange-tempered master in his bones! So this time he was very "backbone" and insisted on his position to the end, but under the soft and hard bubble of the fish, and finally made a little strange concession: "Well, well, little fish, don't be twisted. If you shake it down, not only will you turn into a twist, but also the old bone of Master Nian will be twisted and shattered by you! Can't Master Nian promise not to test your sixth brother for something too difficult?
"Really?"
As soon as the fish heard this, he immediately stopped all his movements, turned his watery eyes, stretched out his little finger and hooked the little finger of Master Nian, hooked it, and then printed his little finger heavily on Master Nian's thumb. After printing, the thief said with a smile, "Okay, we have pulled the hook and stamped it. Master Nian, you can't regret it. ! You must keep your word and test my sixth brother casually!"
Yuer's words suddenly made Master Nian feel a little embarrassed. He just promised to test Yang Liulang for something that was not difficult. Did he promise to test Yang Liulang casually? Looking at the extremely bright smile of the fish, Master Nian suddenly felt like falling into a trap...
However, Master Nian's next test for Yang Liulang is really not difficult and completely a physical job, so he did not expose Xiao Jiujiu in the fish's heart, and only said to Yang Liulang depressingly, "Since the little fish frequently pleas for your brother, I will no longer make things difficult for you..."
"Didn't you say that you were willing to help me with all the work at home so that I could only spend my time making up all kinds of things? Well, then you can go to the back of the house now and help me chop down the pile of firewood piled up there.
Chosting wood?!
Well, Yuer admitted that this test was not difficult for Yang Liulang. After all, Yang Liulang usually helped Liu chop firewood and carry water at home. As soon as Master Nian spoke, Yang Liulang took a firewood knife and went straight to the back of the house without saying a word. It seemed that he wanted to chop the firewood as soon as possible so that he could kowtow to the teacher.
Sure enough, this year's master and Yang Dazhu only chatted for a while. Yang Liulang returned to the house with a firewood knife and wiped his head full of sweat and said, "Master Nian, I have chop the firewood behind the house. Can I officially kowtow to the teacher?"
Master Nian habitually touched the beard scum on his chin and asked, "Is it all done?"
"Well, it's all split!"
"Well, let's not be in a hurry to kowtow to the teacher first. Let's go to the house and see the wood you cut."
After saying that, Master Nian took the lead out of the door and walked behind the house. Soon, he took the fish to a vacant lot behind the house. As soon as the fish stretched out his head, he saw a neat pile of firewood in the open space, and there were still some scattered sawdust on the ground, which were obviously left by Yang Liulang when he had previously chop wood.
Yuer thought that Yang Liulang not only split all the firewood, but also laid them neatly. Shouldn't the master be satisfied this year? Well, you have to say a few more good words for Yang Liulang while the iron is hot!
But just as the fish was thinking about what to say to Yang Liulang, Master Nian had taken the lead and said slowly, "This firewood is not good. You have to chop it again."
Yang Liulang was dumbfounded when he heard this. Isn't this firewood just a piece of fine wood that is easy to stuff into the stove? How well can it be? Is it possible that the master wants him to chop out the firewood this year?
Thinking of this, Yang Liulang couldn't help sweating a few drops. He didn't have time to wipe his sweat, but looked at Master Nian with a helpless face. However, Master Nian was wandering around with the fish in his arms and seemed to have no meaning at all, so Yang Liulang had to ask, "Master Nian, this How can I split the wood so that I can pass the test?
Master Nian did not answer. He only pointed to a pile of firewood not far away. The fish looked along his finger and found a pile of previously chopped firewood in the corner not far away. The pile of firewood was no different from Yang Liulang's. When Master Nian held the fish in his arms and slowly let the fish take it When looking at the pile of firewood carefully, the fish immediately subconsciously took a breath of cold air - in that pile of firewood, each thin firewood was almost equal in size!
How hard it is and how accurate the measurement vision is to chop out such a well-proportioned firewood?!
To split firewood and rice into the same size, you have to not only rely on your eyesight, but also grasp the strength of each knife to make the strength of each knife the same! After Yuer figured this out, he couldn't wait to open his mouth to bite the master - this year's test is really "simple"! How could Yang Liulang split such a well-proportioned firewood for a while?
The master holding the fish seemed to feel the fish's "gloomy" murderous intention, so he immediately ran to Yang Dazhu and gave the fish back to Yang Dazhu. After stuffing, he added with some guilty: "Six children can come to me every day to chop wood, or practice cleaping with firewood at home. OK, when can he split me like this, it will be counted as him passing..."
Master Nian saw that the fish's eyes were still not good, so he quickly added another flattering sentence: "If I don't set a deadline, the six kids can slowly explore how to chop wood."
The fish sounded good, so she raised her little chin and gave Master Nian a "this is almost" look. After giving her eyes, she did not forget to raise her little finger and remind Master Nian not to eat his word and get fat! And the various "threats" of the little elf ghost made Master Nian sweat helplessly... He was really afraid that the little fish would ignore him in the future!
