The sturdy man was still a little confused about his current sitting posture, so when faced with this question, he instinctively answered yes.
The next moment, when the other party stretched out his hand, as if to pull him up, he suddenly realized that he had just tried to grab the other party and question him, but ended up being knocked down for no reason! At that moment, the young man in front of him seemed to have a mysterious face, so that he not only did not respond to the other party's hand, but was alert.
As soon as Zhang Shou saw the strong and sturdy appearance of this man, he knew that Ah Liu had scared him badly.
He glanced at Ah Liu helplessly, and seeing his innocent face, he pointed at Lu Sanlang next to him with his index finger and said with a smile: "Uncle, the person who invited you here is the son of Minister Lu of the Ministry of War, this Lu Sanlang, but he invited you because of me as his teacher. I didn't have time before, and I kept you waiting for several days. I'm really sorry."
The big man looked up at the fat boy next to Zhang Shou, who had an obviously unnatural expression on his face but still managed a smile. Then he looked at Zhang Shou, who smiled gently and generously, and made people feel trustworthy at first sight. He couldn't help but blurt out, "I'm not well educated, young man, don't lie to me. You look younger than this fat guy, how could you be his teacher?"
Who are you calling the fat guy
Lu Sanlang was so angry that he was fuming. But when Zhang Shou turned his head to look at him, he remembered that he had not yet passed the test of setting up a small dark room privately, so he could only quickly explain with a smile on his face: "Uncle is Carpenter Sun, right? Doctor Zhang is indeed my teacher. Don't look at his young age, he is the doctor of the Imperial College appointed by the emperor. Many young masters older than me are his students!"
The sturdy man called Carpenter Sun was skeptical, but when he saw Zhang Shou reaching out to support him again, the hand had round joints, long fingers, and fair skin, which looked extremely handsome at first glance. He looked at his own hand with calluses, suspicious black spots between fingers, and protruding knuckles, and felt a little embarrassed until Zhang Shou took the initiative to hold his hand and pulled him up.
"Ahem, I was just a little impulsive because I was delayed for several days. Don't mind it, Dr. Zhang." Carpenter Sun stood up straight, laughed awkwardly, and then asked in confusion, "Why did Dr. Zhang invite me? By the way, it's not just me. The ironworker Zhang, the house builder Li Er, and the ship repairman Zhao Da were also invited."
Zhang Shou looked at Lu Sanlang again, and this time he was finally convinced that they had indeed hired more than one craftsman. In order to dilute the influence of the small black room, Lu Sanlang hurriedly said flatteringly: "Young sir, compared to the masters in the Military Equipment Bureau, they are the best we can find outside..."
However, before he could finish his words, Carpenter Sun suddenly refused to accept his request: "What Arms Bureau? The ironworkers in the Arms Bureau may be better than Lao Zhang, but there is absolutely no better carpenter in the Arms Bureau than me! No matter if it is coarse or fine wood, as long as it is related to carpentry, I have never lost to others. The Arms Bureau does not want the best carpenters, they just want craftsmen who are willing to work hard!"
Seeing Carpenter Sun shouting loudly and refusing to admit defeat, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile, and then hurriedly comforted him, "Uncle Sun, don't argue with Lu Sanlang. How could he know what the spirit of craftsmanship is! Dedication, leanness, focus, innovation, this spirit has been passed down from generation to generation, and this is why you have such a unique skill now, isn't it?"
