Zhang Laohan's craftsmanship is really satisfying to Xia Hongsheng, and the things made are very meticulous, which can be called perfect, such a good carpenter, in the future generations, it will be a master, with a group of apprentices to do the work, which one is not rich. However, Zhang Laohan's family is not rich, and it is only slightly better than Xia Hongsheng's family. Now, I'm afraid it's not as good as Xia Hongsheng's family. This is due to many reasons, firstly, the social status of the craftsman is not high, and it is slightly better than the businessman, and secondly, Zhang Laohan is just a carpenter in this remote Luanzhou city, there is no way, and he is not known, so naturally no one is looking for him to work. In the final analysis, it is still the propaganda effect that is not in place. Xia Hongsheng felt that this old man was really good, and he was a neighbor, and he used to be good at Xia Hongsheng's family, and he would also help with the five people across the mountain, and he heard his sister-in-law say that something in the house was broken and repaired, and most of them were repaired by Zhang Laohan or his eldest son, and they all took the initiative to help, and they didn't ask for anything in return. Therefore, Xia Hongsheng felt that he could also help Zhang Laohan, which could be regarded as a return.

Outside Zhang Laohan's house, Xia Hongsheng took a bamboo basket of scallion pancakes, and a few big vegetable buns that he used the pork bone soup he boiled that day to fry a few dishes and made them into stuffing, Xia Hongsheng himself doesn't know how to make buns, this is a real work, and if it's good, let his sister-in-law put a mud stove and a few steamers on the snack car, and sell the dog and ignore it. Since it is in the real yàn, the package is very unsightly, but the taste is still good, and there are a few left, so I simply gave it to Zhang Laohan to taste it.

"Xia boy, don't you always carry things like this, the two little ones in the family are all used to your mouths, clean mouths! Alas, in the past few years, I can still eat a mouthful of food in my mouth, a few years ago, the war was raging, and the bark in Laojun Mountain was almost finished! Those two little ones even dared to pick their mouths and let the old man beat them up! Zhang Laohan looked at the bamboo basket Xia Hongsheng was carrying, walked out, held a few fan bones in his hand, handed them to Xia Hongsheng, and said: "Here, you want something, this thing is a little slow to make, and the ones you play with in your hands need to be ground carefully, and it's not good to prick your hands." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Xia Hongsheng took the fan bone, walked into the courtyard with Zhang Laohan, and said while putting down the bamboo basket: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, life will be better." Not to mention anything else, but the boy knows that my sister-in-law is selling food in the market these days, and many people have asked about the snack cart, as well as the folding table and the mazah, which craftsman made it. ”

It was originally a good word, but who knows, Zhang Laohan's face immediately pulled down, a pair of small eyes glared, and said: "Xia family boy, although the old man is a rough man, he doesn't know the ink in your literati's stomach, but he also worships the ancestor every day, and he doesn't dare to forget the rules!" This thing was designed by you, and the old man just made it, and he definitely wouldn't steal it privately! Xia boy, Hugh is going to ruin the old man's innocence! ”

Xia Hongsheng was so frightened that he almost turned around and ran away, ruining your innocence, are you the big girl of Huanghua?! Seeing Zhang Laohan's cold face, Xia Hongsheng knew that he had misunderstood, thinking that he was beating him and not letting him leak this thing.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xia Hongsheng said, "Uncle Zhang, I misunderstood. The kid is saying, this kind of thing is not expensive, I have already told my sister-in-law, if anyone asks again, just say that it is made here in your old place, it is estimated that someone will come to the door to order it in the next few days, it is estimated that most of the folding tables and maza are made, and you always have some materials. Your craftsmanship is very good, take this opportunity to let people know that these people have bought things from your old place, go back and see, heh, the craftsmanship is really good, then you will have to do other things, isn't it the first thing to think of you when you are old, so that your family will have a better business in the future. By the way, I still have a lot of use for this bone, now no one has seen it except you and me, your old man must not leak the news in advance, the kid is counting on this thing to build a new house and marry a daughter-in-law! ”

Zhang Laohan's eyes widened, the expression on his face looked as if he didn't believe it, and he exaggeratedly plucked his ears, and asked a little tremblingly: "You mean, the snack cart, and those folding tables and horses, can be made and sold by the old man as he pleases?" ”

"Yes, no matter who you do it for, no matter how much it sells, it's your old business, and it has nothing to do with the kid anymore. The kid just wanted to make it easier for my sister-in-law to go out to sell food without having to work so hard, and now that the goal has been achieved, it's okay. Xia Hongsheng nodded and said as a matter of course.

"Plop!" Before Xia Hongsheng could react, Zhang Laohan knelt down as soon as his legs bent, with tears in his eyes and a trembling voice: "Master......"

Xia Hongsheng jumped up in fright, screamed strangely, and hurriedly ran over to grab Zhang Laohan and dragged him up from the ground, but Zhang Laohan fell down with all his might, Xia Hongsheng dragged him and didn't let him, the two looked like they were fighting, and Zhang Laohan's sons and grandsons all ran out of the noisy room.

"Brother Zhang, hurry up and help, Uncle Zhang is crazy!" Xia Hongsheng shouted, and Zhang Laohan's burly eldest son immediately stepped over in two steps, and grabbed Zhang Laohan who was about to slip to the ground with one arm. Xia Hongsheng took the opportunity to quickly let go of his hand, and immediately ran away as soon as he turned around. Just kidding, how did you not know that the Tang people had the bad problem of kowtowing casually? What a long life! Isn't it just a few novelty gadgets, not rather! It's too exaggerated, that old man must be stunned, it must be!

I didn't go to the academy in the morning, but I went back to the house and carefully glued the tough paper that had been prepared a long time ago, and let it dry in the sun all morning, and a few folding fans were ready.

Xia Hongsheng picked up the folding fan, used a little force with his two fingers, unfolded the folding fan with a brush, and gently fanned it a few times, and suddenly felt that the wind was incomparable, and the force was increased several times. Good things, such sassy things, naturally let the same sassy people promote it. Xia Hongsheng casually grabbed two scallion pancakes into the stove and gnawed them in his stomach, wrapped the paper fans that had been formed in a pack, and ran to the academy.

In the academy, it is the middle of the day, and the students from other places who come here have their own rooms, but the conditions are not very good, the Chase Shop, today's colleges are all equipped with this kind of equipment, and it is uncomfortable to sleep, and few people will go to rest at noon. Xia Hong was promoted to the academy and went straight to the chair Mr. Liu to fry tea for him, and this reward should also be returned. When he got there, just in time for Mr. Liu to return to the house, Xia Hongsheng took out two folding fans and respectfully placed them in front of Mr. Liu.

"Huh? What kind of novelty is this, how come the old man has never seen it? Mr. Liu looked at the things on the table: "This is a fan?" But how can a fan grow like this? ”

"Mr. Haojiao knows, this thing is made out by the students themselves, with bamboo as the bone, with paper silk as the face, the student named the folding fan, or the paper fan is also made, today the student takes the liberty to disturb, just want to work Mr. Lao, please give Mr. two words, and write on this paper fan." Xia Hongsheng hurriedly replied, the calligrapher cherished the words, afraid that Mr. Liu would not agree, so he hurriedly added: "The tea leaves you gave have been fried, because the new tea has fire, and it needs to be put for a few days to disperse the fire, so I can't bring it with me today." ”

As soon as he said this, Mr. Liu laughed and scolded with a smile: "Yellow-haired boy, since the old man promised to send you two characters as a reward for roasting tea, he will not repay the debt, he is young, and his heart is a lot!" ”

Xia Hongsheng suddenly blushed, smiled wryly, and hurriedly helped Mr. Liu get the pen and ink, Mr. Liu dipped the pen in the ink, thought about it for a while, and then put down the pen like flying, like flowing water, a few lines of cursive on the paper, flying white and uneven, so that Xia Hongsheng almost applauded. The words were quickly written on the two folding fans, and Mr. Liu took out his own seal letter, pressed it hard at the back, and left his name.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Xia Hongsheng excitedly picked up the folding fan, carefully dried the ink, then closed it, opened it again, and swayed it lightly a few times, and saw Mr. Liu's eyes squinted suddenly. Xia Hongsheng hurriedly closed the folding fan, picked up the other hand and presented it to Mr. Liu: "Sir, the student only needs to keep one, this folding fan is specially for Mr. Xiao, please accept it." ”

"Hehe, this folding fan is also a coincidence, but this is caused by your hard work, and the old man is not easy to take away." Mr. Liu said. Xia Hongsheng rolled his eyes in his heart, he wanted to do it, he couldn't move his eyes, and when he heard that it was given to you, the wrinkles on his brows were obviously expanded.

"It's rude for the student to bother Mr. to give the word, and please don't shirk the gentleman, otherwise, the student will really be ashamed." Xia Hongsheng hurriedly put on a respectful attitude.

"Then ......" Mr. Liu looked at the folding fan: "Well, since that's the case, the old man will accept it with shame!" ”

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly thanked him, and then took his leave. This gave out the first handful, and there are other gentlemen left, and one is exactly what it is. Xia Hongsheng concocted the same method, went to several other gentlemen and asked for words, and every time he went to think that Mr. was there, he would leave a handful and take a handful himself. It can be seen that this folding fan is quite suitable for their appetite, and it specially reminds them that they can be decorated with tassels to make them look more personable.

After a circle, Xia Hongsheng still had six folding fans left in his hand, all of which had the inscriptions and inscriptions of Mr. Academy. Don't you dare let them know that you are going to sell their inscriptions for money, otherwise, these old fellows who value their reputation more than their lives will not be looking for me to fight hard.
