"Teacher, what's wrong?" Seeing Mr. Tao's extremely excited look, the freckled girl and the tall young man asked.
Mr. Tao did not answer, but under the astonished gazes of the freckled girl and the tall young man, he suddenly stood up, ran into the kitchen quickly, rushed in front of Su Jing, and said eagerly: "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, what is this?" What bamboo?”
Su Zhenhong, Zhao Mengxiang, and Liu Shu all looked stunned. How could this elegant old man be so excited? Su Jing was also stunned, but soon understood that as a bamboo carving master, Tao Lao must care about this bamboo.
"I don't know what kind of bamboo I cultivated at home." Su Jing said. These bamboos were grown from the bamboo from Qin Emperor's time and space. Originally, Su Jing thought that this might be the bamboo from Ye Yinzhu's hometown of Bi Konghai. , maybe it can grow into purple bamboo and forge the legendary purple bamboo needle. Unfortunately, they did not grow into purple bamboo, but they are fragrant, hard, and as green as jade. They are definitely good bamboos. Therefore, Su Jing kept planting, and even poured some spirit stone slag from time to time to make them grow better.
This time, we want to make mandarin ducks holding bamboo in their mouths. As mentioned above, we need to use fragrant bamboo. The first thing Su Jing thought of was the fragrant bamboo used to make bamboo tube rice, but she soon thought of the bamboo grown on the third floor that came from Qin Emperor's time and space. Compared with these bamboos, fragrant bamboo is extremely weak. That's why he went home and chopped one. The mandarin ducks holding bamboo in their hands were very good.
"You raised it at home and you don't know its name?" Mr. Tao was stunned.
"Teacher, teacher, this bamboo seems to be amazing." At this time, the freckled girl and the tall young man also rushed in. They finished eating the dish of mandarin ducks holding bamboo and saw the teacher so excited, so they also observed the bamboo. Was shocked. Although they are not as experienced as Mr. Tao, they have learned bamboo carving from Mr. Tao after all, so they are naturally knowledgeable.
The materials used for bamboo carving are naturally particular. For bamboo carving, you must first choose the bamboo material. For example, they like to choose winter bamboo from Anhui. Every December, I go to Huangshan and Jing County in Anhui Province to buy bamboo. The age of the bamboo is very particular. It must be a large moso bamboo with a growth period of more than 5 years. Such bamboo has the right hardness and color. Before formal bamboo carving, the moso bamboo must be boiled in boiling water for three hours to prevent it from being eaten by insects in the future; but this is not enough, and it must be dried for another two months until the skin of the moso bamboo changes from green to amber yellow before carving can be carried out.
For master carvers, the requirements for materials are higher and more detailed, and they are all carefully selected. A good material plays a vital role in the delicacy, beauty, value, and preservation of the carved work.
The hard, strong and jade-like bamboo used in the dish of Mandarin Ducks Holding Bamboo is simply the dream material of all bamboo carvers. If it is announced, I believe that all bamboo carving masters will specify this kind of bamboo in the future.
It is even hard for them to believe that such a top-quality bamboo should be famous all over the world, ranking first among all bamboos, and should be labeled "King of Ten Thousand Bamboos". How could it be so unknown? If I hadn’t seen it here today, I wouldn’t have known about it.
"You two foodies, have you just discovered it now?" Tao Lao was angry and funny.
"This dish is so delicious that I didn't notice it for a moment." Both the freckled girl and the tall young man scratched their heads in embarrassment.
"Mr. Su, do you still have this kind of bamboo?" Mr. Tao asked again.
"I also grow some at home." Su Jing said.
"I'm preparing a new bamboo carving work. I wonder if I can buy a few of these bamboos from you?" Mr. Tao said. After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Su Jing would not agree, so he quickly added, "You mentioned a few tattered chairs. I will help you repair the sofa, and I will try my best to repair it to perfection, and it will be free of charge."
"Oh?" Su Jing was stunned. She didn't expect sexual happiness to come so suddenly. It seems that Mr. Tao really likes this kind of bamboo, but to herself, this kind of bamboo is not that precious. She said, "Okay , since you helped me repair it for free, then I will also give you a few bamboos for free."
"Haha, it's a deal." Mr. Tao suddenly smiled and said, "I'm really curious, so I'd like to ask again, since these bamboos are cultivated by your family, there must be some source, where do they come from? "
The freckled girls and the tall young man pricked up their ears. They also wanted to know the origin of this bamboo. If they knew it, they would definitely get some and try carving it themselves. Looking at such a good bamboo, they wanted to use it to carve a few pieces. A piece of work comes out. Moreover, if this kind of bamboo is sold, it should sell well.
"I bought it from a resident of an old mountain village who was setting up a stall on the street. He said that he saw a very special bamboo on the mountain, so he dug it up and went to the market to sell fruit tree seedlings, so he brought this bamboo with him. I I liked it very much, so I bought it and planted it." Su Jing lied, after all, she couldn't tell them that these were extra-dimensional bamboos that fell from the super-dimensional garbage station.
"There is such a thing." Tao Lao looked surprised.
"Mr. Su, can you take us to see the bamboo you planted?" the freckled girl said.
"Sorry, my bamboos are planted upstairs, and there are many dangerous animals such as snakes and scorpions inside, so it's not convenient for you to see them." Su Jing said, there are many things on the third floor that are not suitable for outsiders to see, except Apart from Shi Qing and her family, no one else has been allowed in. Hearing that there were snakes and scorpions, the freckled girl suddenly became a little scared. Mr. Tao and the tall young man were also a little scared, so they didn't ask to see them again.
"Mr. Tao, why don't you come and sit at my house? I'll show you those broken chairs and sofas, and chop some bamboo for you by the way." Su Jing said. Now that the customers' orders have been taken, she doesn't plan to continue placing orders. Cooked.
"Okay." Mr. Tao was eager to get the bamboo as soon as possible, so he agreed. Su Jing took Mr. Tao, the freckled girl, and the tall young man home. However, as soon as they left the store, the customers in the store were not happy.
"Little Chef God, why are you leaving now? I was just about to add more dishes."
"I just came here and haven't ordered yet. I heard that the three new dishes are great. Everyone said they are delicious."
"Sorry, I have to leave beforehand." Su Jing hurriedly walked away. Those customers who were preparing to add extra dishes felt regretful for a while, while those who had just arrived and had not eaten had their faces turn dark and their intestines turned green. If they had known better, they would have come earlier.
"Third uncle, take this dish back to Sister Yan to eat?" the thin young man said while looking at the packaged mandarin ducks holding bamboo in their mouths.
"Why, haven't you eaten enough? Don't forget that the main purpose of our coming is to bring you Sister Yan a dish cooked by the little chef in Qingyun Town." The short, fat middle-aged man glanced at the thin young man who swallowed his saliva. Very funny.
"Okay then." The thin young man was a little reluctant as he hadn't eaten enough yet, but he couldn't forget about business. They left in the car, and then the thin young man took the mandarin ducks and bamboos in their hands alone and sent them to "Sister Yan".
