Chapter 32: Tribute

Because he was going to the banquet, Yun Yi got up early today.

I mainly want to see if my customized frames have been made. After all, it is a temporary workload. Even if Mr. Chen has good skills, he is afraid that it will be too late.

After breakfast, I wandered to Chen Jimu workshop and saw a bunch of people gathered at the door from afar.

The voices of Uncle Chen and several apprentices came from far and near.

"Pay attention to the details and never use too much force. Look at this leaf..."

"There are also the characteristics of the characters' faces. If you have nothing to do, you should observe more often and don't know how to doze off."

"Master, why is there such a large piece of empty in the middle of this screen?"

"Don't worry about this, this screen is still the most critical component."

"The master and the senior brothers are so amazing. In just one night, he carved out such a lifelike picture of King Wen going westward!"

"Okay, okay, I've taught all the things I need to teach. Let's practice each piece of scraps, don't gather together."

"yes."

Uncle Chen had already seen Yun Yi, bowed to Yun Yi, and signaled his disciples to work hard, then pointed to the big screen beside him and said, "Look at it, Brother Yi, this carving work is still satisfactory."

Yun Yi has put all his attention on the screen. The best rosewood is carefully carved. Although it is spliced ​​with three pieces of wood, Chen Bo’s craftsmanship is extraordinary and looks like a whole piece of wood carved.

"Just polished, just apply paint."

Yun Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Fortunately it's time, thank you so much for Uncle Chen."

"What's the hard work? The main reason is that Brother Yi'er's mirror moved me. If I don't take action when I encounter such a rare treasure, I'm afraid I will never have a chance in my life, hahaha..."

Yun Yi smiled, pointed to the lower right corner of the screen, and said, "According to the agreement, Uncle Chen can leave his name here. Of course, the wages and wood costs still have to be settled."

Uncle Chen declined, "Forget the wages, I don't have many works that I can produce in my life. This is one. Although it's a bit urgent, with Brother Yi'er's mirror as the core, this screen is worthy of a rare name. I'm very satisfied if I can use it to show my face."

Life is nothing more than fame and fortune. Uncle Chen cannot avoid the vulgarity. Since seeing Yun Yi's huge half-body mirror, he took Yun Yi's commission without thinking and called more than a dozen of the most proud disciples overnight. It took a night to drive out such a screen, with the best Huanghuali wood, and the dozen carpenters with the best craftsmanship in Bianjing City at the same time, which can be said to be striving for excellence.

But this is just a foil. In Chen Bo's opinion, Yun Yi's mirror is the soul of this screen.

Yun Yi then took a polite moment and asked with a smile: "Uncle Chen should be here too tonight, why don't we both go together?"

Uncle Chen knew that he was talking about going to the Li Mansion to have a banquet. He heard this and waved his hand: "No, no, no, I won't be with you. As soon as you take action on this screen, my string of Thousand Buddhas beads became a supporting role, so I won't be with you."

"Well……"

Seeing Yun Yi being amused and crying, Chen Bo kindly reminded: "Your screen is destined to be the protagonist tonight. When singing the ceremony, let the big bull take care of it, so don't let people touch it and fall."

Yun Yi smiled and said casually: "It's just a mirror, it's not that exaggerated."

"Is it exaggerating?" Uncle Chen smiled bitterly, "You don't know the value of your mirror."

"Oh, by the way, this afternoon, you can't go to the ball game in Tianshuixiang, right?"

Yun Yi shook his head: "Let's not go, so as not to put too much pressure on them. What about you, don't go and see?"

Uncle Chen pointed to the screen beside him: "I can't go anywhere. I can't assemble it for you. I will polish some details. My old Chen will definitely be a good product when I take action, and I dare not smash my own sign."

Yun Yi nodded thoughtfully, paused, and said, "It's not good not to go. Please help me greet me. If anyone has free time, go. The round-trip car fee and tickets can be found for me to reimburse. Someone has to cheer them on."

"Really or not?"

As soon as Yun Yi finished speaking, several apprentices next to him immediately became interested.

Yun Yi nodded slightly and said, "Of course it's true, otherwise, you can rent a few big carriages and pull up the people you want to go. I remember that the tickets in the first floor lobby are not expensive. One person has five cents, this is for you..."

As he said that, Yun Yi took out a five-liang of silver from his arms and came: "When you arrive at the scene, cheer for Yang Zhi and the others. After all, he is the representative of our Tianshui Lane. No matter whether you win or lose, he is our hero!"

Don’t think that Yun Yi is a waste of money. In fact, there is a reason for him to do this. On the one hand, it is to integrate into this era faster. On the other hand, it is because he once read a report that made him want to do this.

It was an exclusive interview with Wang Liping, the champion of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. When Wang Liping broke through the finish line, there was no camera, no cheers, and no national flag sent by the coaching staff.

Because no one thought she could win the championship, the coaching staff didn't even go in the venue, but just watched the game through the big screen outside the court, so that after Wang Liping crossed the finish line, the expression on her face was indescribable grievance and stubbornness.

She won the championship and added a gold medal to the motherland on the track and field sports field, but at that moment she wanted to cry because there was no Chinese around except for an interpreter who was with her.

She was the only athlete who won the gold medal but could not hold up the national flag to circle around the field for a week, but she still stubbornly held back her tears and circled around the field for a week under the unknown gaze of a group of foreigners.

It was not until she finally stood on the podium that the bright five-star red flag slowly rose into the air that she cried. However, at this moment, she should not cry with joy, but that she really felt wronged.

After reading this report, Yun Yi was unable to calm down for a long time. When a hero cannot enjoy the treatment she deserves, will all her efforts become a joke?

Therefore, Yun Yi didn't want such a tragedy to happen again. Yang Zhi and his team's efforts on the Cuju field and the joys, sorrows and sorrows, he could see the efforts of the work. The sweat of a few little guys getting up before dawn every morning and training wet the entire glutinous field.

If Yang Zhi and Yang Xiaoliu were participating in the competition with a purpose, then which of the others wanted to gain recognition from their families?

"Go, call everyone up. If you don't have enough money, you can make up for it first. Go back and ask me for reimbursement." Yun Yi said with a smile.

Several carpenter apprentices looked at each other and looked at Uncle Chen with anticipation.

Uncle Chen glared at them angrily and said, "Go, go, go, close the door in the afternoon. I just happened to have something to go out. You little guys went to Fanlou according to Brother Yi'er's arrangement and shouted hard. Do you know!"
