Chapter 523, the family heirloom

"Benefactor, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Zhao Xiaoning fall to the ground, Guan Yunpeng hurriedly helped him up.

"I... I'm fine. Zhao Xiaoning smiled awkwardly, but his heart was furious, Lao Tzu can do it? Come on, if I can do it, why come here to beg you?

"Old man, are you sure Master Zhao can do it?" Zhao Xiaoning couldn't help but ask, he wanted to know what kind of medicine this old guy was selling in his gourd.

Old Man Guan snorted: "Master Zhao's wood carving has already reached the point where there is no one before and no one after him, and with his ability, he can easily build those precision parts." ”

"I guess there should be one over here, right?" Zhao Xiaoning smiled.

Old Man Guan said: "Yes, it's a pity that Master Zhao has sealed the knife, even if he can do it, he won't help you." ”

"Father-in-law, isn't it the same as not saying it?" Hu Na complained softly.

Old Man Guan shook his head: "Although Master Zhao has sealed the knife, it is not without a chance." As the so-called sincerity to the golden stone is open, if this grace... Benefactor, what's your name?"

Hearing this, Guan Yunpeng and his wife also looked at Zhao Xiaoning, and they were extremely embarrassed in their hearts, because they didn't know Zhao Xiaoning's name after chatting for so long.

"Me?" Zhao Xiaoning coughed lightly: "My name is Zhao Xiaoning." ”

"It's a familiar name. Guan Yunpeng suddenly snorted: "Your name is Zhao Xiaoning, which Zhao Xiaoning, is it the master carver Zhao Xiaoning?"

Old Man Guan was a little surprised, and then chuckled: "Son, Zhao Xiaoning has gone too much, even if the benefactor is called Zhao Xiaoning, he is definitely not that master, how can there be such a coincidental thing in this world?"

Guan Yunpeng shook his head, his face full of shock: "Dad, why is there no such coincidence? Yesterday the benefactor saved your daughter-in-law and your grandson on the plane, but today they met in this compound in Jiangnan, can you explain this coincidence?"

Hu Na looked at Zhao Xiaoning with interest: "Father-in-law, with my understanding of his benefactor, he should be a very stable person, but when you said those words before, he fell to the ground, so it can be inferred that he has suffered a huge shock in his heart, otherwise this kind of thing would definitely not have happened." Combined with his name... The daughter-in-law can be sure that the benefactor is the legendary carving master Zhao Xiaoning. ”

"Little sister, can you not bring the word 'legend'?" Zhao Xiaoning wanted to cry, generally speaking, the person who became a legend had already died.

Hu Na smiled and shrugged: "Look, he has already admitted it himself." ”

"Little sister, can you take the liberty of asking, what kind of work are you engaged in?" Zhao Xiaoning couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Professor of Psychology. Hu Na's face was full of pride.

"No wonder. Zhao Xiaoning took it, Hu Na not only had a poisonous mouth, but even the ability to observe words and emotions was not something that ordinary people could have, so it was not okay to accept it. In addition to a senior professor of psychology, how many people can compare to her?

"Benefactor, are you really Master Zhao?" It wasn't until this moment that Old Man Guan reacted, his face full of excitement.

The housekeeper has been a carpenter for generations, and he has a lot of relationship with Lu Ban. I think that in the early days of the Warring States Period, when Lu Ban had not yet become famous, he entered the housekeeper by chance to do carpentry, because he was very close to the owner of the housekeeper, and stayed in the housekeeper after the carpentry was over, and then devoted himself to research, and finally invented the curved ruler, ink fountain, and planer, so he became famous.

In order to thank the housekeeper for his kindness and help, Lu Ban wrote a book of his experience and sent it to the housekeeper, and the two families also formed a family of 'Lu Guan'. That's why the housekeeper is where he is today.

Carpenters play with wood, and wood carvings play with wood. Therefore, the old man still knows a lot about what is happening in the woodcarving world. It's just that he didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be the famous number one golden knife.

Zhao Xiaoning said modestly: "Old man, the master doesn't dare to be, it's just a good name given by people in the industry, it's not worth mentioning." ”

"Wow~~~"

At this time, the heavenly gift in Hu Na's arms let out a high-pitched cry.

"Dad, benefactor, you talk, I'll send them back to the room first. Guan Yunpeng said politely, and said as he walked: "Benefactor, you can't leave today, I have to give you a few glasses of wine later." ”

"Done. Zhao Xiaoning smiled and agreed.

"Master Zhao, you wait a while, I'll go get something. The old man said, then walked out of the living room, and walked about five minutes later with a boxy box made of rosewood.

"What is this?" Zhao Xiaoning asked curiously.

Old Man Guan opened the wooden box, and then a yellowed ancient book appeared in Zhao Xiaoning's eyes, although he didn't know how long it had existed, but it exuded a sense of history.

"Don't hide it from Master Zhao, this is the treasure of my housekeeper, it records every detail and step of building a dragon boat, as long as you are familiar with the above information, you can build a dragon ship by yourself." Old man Guan introduced.

"Old man, it's inconvenient for me as an outsider to watch your family heirlooms, right?" Zhao Xiaoning spoke, although he was very excited, he also knew that this kind of thing could not be easily passed on to others.

The old man said disappreciatively: "It's different now than before, how can there be so many feudal ideas." Besides, you are the savior of our family, if you hadn't saved my grandson, my family's vein would have been interrupted, and I would have no regrets even if I gave the entire housekeeper to you. Furthermore, inheritance is not passed on to one's own family, as long as it can be continued in this world, it is already a kind of inheritance. ”

Zhao Xiaoning didn't expect the old man Guan to be so reasonable, this is different from before, and smiled: "Since the old man has spoken, then I'll take a look." As he spoke, he picked up the white gloves in the wooden box and put them on his hands.

You must know that the palm of the human hand will secrete sweat, which has a certain corrosiveness, and ancient books are not easy to preserve, and the best protection for it is to wear gloves when reading.

Flipping through the ancient books, Zhao Xiaoning saw some traditional characters, which clearly stated the steps to build a dragon boat and the amount of wood needed. It's definitely a huge number, and in addition, what makes Zhao Xiaoning most curious is the hub structure of the dragon ship in the old man's mouth. Inside there is an intricate hub that controls eighty large oars on either side of the hull. Those oars are not manually shaken, you know, those oars are so big that it is difficult for even five people to shake.

This is the meaning of the existence of that hub, the principle of that hub is very exquisite, borrowing the principle of the pivot, more like a bicycle, fifty people are enough to make a huge dragon ship move.

The ingenuity of the ancients is shocking, but there is one thing that Zhao Xiaoning has to deny, some things are destined to be eliminated by the times, such as the hub, fifty people don't seem to be much, but now, what can be done with a high-power motor, why do you have to work so hard to design and produce?

It is an iron law that some things are obsolete by the times.

Despite this, Zhao Xiaoning found something that shocked him...
