Chapter 25, Learning Crafts
In the afternoon, Ye Chen went to Huailing Mountain to sit with the immortals, and brought Ye Zixiang back!
Dad! I just saw that Uncle Li's expression was wrong. Did you argue with him? Ye Chen asked.
It's okay. Ye Zixiang said indifferently.
Then, with a heartbeat, he asked Ye Chen casually: Xiaochen, the college entrance examination is about to come, and you should graduate from high school. What are your plans after graduation?
Go to college! Ye Chen said casually.
There is so much luck in the whole high school, what kind of luck should you have after you go to university, especially the kind of century-old university that is closely related to the fate of the country!
The luck to be undertaken will be unprecedented!
Hehe... Ye Zixiang laughed.
Xiaochen, Dad didn't joke with you, I want to ask you what you really think.
Dad, I'm not kidding you. I really want to go to college. But you don't have to worry about my college tuition. At that time, I will come back with a top score in the college entrance examination. I believe there will be many in the county and the city. Bonus. Ye Chen said solemnly.
Ye Zixiang's expression was already dumbfounded.
Xiaochen, have you ever passed an exam since you were a child?
Forehead.
Okay, since you don't want to say it, Dad won't force you.
When I got home, Feng Guizhi had already bought some fruit!
Let's go! Let's go find Mr. Chen. Ye Zixiang said to Ye Chen.
Do you really want to learn this skill? Ye Chen asked.
Learn. Why don't you learn? Even if you don't rely on this for food in the future and master one more skill, you will never go wrong. Ye Zixiang said.
Hey, it's a pity, you learned it too late. You should have been taught earlier. The children of the old Liu family in the outskirts of the city had already studied with Mr. Chen when they were in junior high school, and now they have made some achievements. A wealthy businessman inside took a fancy to a piece of jade carved by him, and sold it for 88888 at that time.
Don't be discouraged, this thing usually depends half on understanding and half on hard work.
If you are smart enough to learn now, you may be able to catch up with him quickly in a year. Ye Zixiang said.
After walking for half an hour, Ye Chen pushed Ye Zixiang to the front of a small building.
This is a very classical small building, which has been around for some years, but it doesn't look dilapidated.
The walls are painted in quaint tones, and the stone carvings engraved on the bridge's entrance shoes look quite ancient, and on the dilapidated wooden railings, there are also dragons flying among them, which has a special charm.
It looks like an artist. Ye Chen couldn't help but nodded.
Mr. Chen was originally an artist, and he is well-known in Qingyun Province. Xiaochen, I will go to Mr. Chen's place in a while. Be obedient, but don't be afraid. Although Mr. Chen has a bad temper, he was in the process of passing on art at that time. Among them, people are usually pretty good. Ye Zixiang instructed Ye Chen.
Yeah, got it. Dad!
Entering the building, there is a plaque of Zangbaozhai hanging on the door. The first floor is a shop with simple decoration. There are many things in the shop.
These are all works of Mr. Chen, including clay sculptures, stone carvings, and bamboo carvings. Ye Zixiang introduced to his son, wanting to arouse his interest.
When Ye Chen saw these exquisite things, he was really interested.
Especially when I saw a nuclear carving, I was even more surprised.
It was originally a small walnut, but now it has been carved into a black canopy boat. There are not only a canopy on the boat, but also a coffee table, and people drink wine on it. Carved door couplets.
Ingenious workmanship! Ye Chen couldn't help admiring.
I sculpted this ten years ago. At that time, I had to keep up with my eyesight, physical strength and energy to complete this work. Now, I am old and can't do it anymore.
Even if it is imitation, I can't do it anymore, my physical strength is exhausted, and my eyes are blurred. said the old man.
Seeing the old man coming, Ye Zixiang quickly gave Ye Chen instructions.
Call it Old Chen!
Old Chen. Ye Chen said respectfully.
Yeah. Mr. Chen nodded, then looked Ye Chen up and down and said: Young man is just too delicate. It may not be suitable for you to learn this line of work. But you can try it first.
Forehead? Is it a sin to be handsome? Ye Chen was a little speechless.
Ye Chen walked through the shop, and there was a larger space behind the shop, like a classroom.
There are already a dozen people studying in the classroom.
There are men, women and children.
In the past two years, with the improvement of living standards, people have paid more and more attention to this art, and many people have learned it.
A couple of girls were there drawing the girls. Seeing Ye Chen walk in, his eyes lit up.
However, when he saw Old Chen next to him, there was some fear in his eyes.
Where are you going to look? You have to be calm and not half-hearted about crafting. Do you understand? Old Chen yelled at the girl who was looking towards Ye Chen just now.
Afterwards, Mr. Chen walked to the front and sat on a grand teacher's chair.
Looking towards Ye Chen, his expression was a bit unfriendly. Obviously, those girls were distracted just now, which made Mr. Chen feel that his previous intuition was correct.
Regarding this, Ye Chen expressed helplessness, the first impression was ruined like this?
While playing with two Wenwan walnuts, Mr. Chen picked up a delicate small purple sand pot, took a sip of tea, glanced at Ye Chen, and asked, You want to learn these skills?
Yeah. Ye Chen nodded.
He knew that this was an opportunity his father had finally begged for for him, and his painstaking efforts could not be wasted.
Have you ever learned painting before?
Ye Chen shook his head.
Zixiang, he followed you, but you didn't teach him a little?
No. He was in school before, and now he is about to graduate, so he started to study.
That's troublesome, and I haven't learned painting, which means I don't have the foundation at all. The boy's skill is zero, and it will be difficult to go far in the future. Chen Lao said.
Mr. Chen, you should try your best to teach first. Whatever you learn, you can do whatever you want. Ye Zixiang said.
Okay, since that's the case, let's learn it first. Old Chen said.
Thank you, Mr. Chen. Ye Zixiang said gratefully.
Then he explained to Ye Chen and went to the second floor.
During the day, he went to the fairy sit to sell things, and at night he came here to do odd jobs to make handicrafts. The handicrafts he made were taken away by Mr. Chen and sold to big cities.
Let's learn painting from them first. Mr. Chen handed him painting tools and books. After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and meditated again.
Seeing this situation, Ye Chen felt a little regretful.
If I had known earlier, I would not have come.
Isn't this a waste of time? I just learned about difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and I haven't paid back my money yet. I still have to go out and post small advertisements. Now that's all right, I have to waste time here.
But if it comes, it will be safe, there is no other way, but to sit on the seat honestly.
Let's draw red first. Practice your brushwork. Ye Chen found an empty seat and sat down as said.
I just don't know if I can absorb the skills in it after eating this book? Ye Chen thought in his heart.
While distracted, a voice sounded from the side.
Hello guy, my name is Yu Xiaohong. A girl with long hair smiled at Ye Chen.
Hello! My name is Ye Chen. Ye Chen also said with a smile.
Are you just starting out?
Ok.
Then you are a bit late in learning. It may be difficult to learn. Yu Xiaohong said sincerely.
... Ye Chen was speechless! I've never seen anything like this, and it starts to hit people's confidence as soon as they come up!
