"Teacher, what's the matter?" Seeing Old Tao's excitement, the freckled girl and the tall young man asked.
Old Tao did not answer, but under the astonished eyes of the freckled girl and the tall young man, he suddenly stood up and ran quickly into the kitchen and rushed to Sue.
In front of him, he eagerly said: "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, what kind of bamboo is this?"
Su Zhenhong, Zhao Mengxiang, and Liu Shu were all stunned. How could this elegant old man be so excited?
Sue was also stunned.
He was also stunned, but he quickly understood. As a bamboo carving master, Old Tao must be very concerned about this bamboo.
"My family cultivates it, I don't know what kind of bamboo it is." Sue
He said that these bamboos were grown from the bamboo from Zither Emperor Universe. Originally, Sue
Thinking that this may be the bamboo from Ye Yinzhu's hometown, Blue Sky Sea, 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 green like jade. They are definitely good bamboo.
So, Sue has been planting them.
He kept planting them, and even sometimes poured some Spirit Soil slag to make them grow better.
This time, he wants to make Mandarin Duck Holding Bamboo. It says that he needs to use fragrant bamboo. Sue
The first thing he thought of was the fragrant bamboo used for making bamboo rice, but he soon thought of the bamboo from Zither Emperor Universe planted on the third floor. Compared with these bamboos, the fragrant bamboo is weak.
Therefore, he deliberately went home to cut one and made the Mandarin Duck Holding Bamboo, which has a very good effect.
"Home-cultivated, you don't know the name?" Old Tao was stunned.
"Teacher, this bamboo seems to be very good."
At this time, the freckled girl and the tall young man also rushed in. They finished eating the dish of Mandarin Duck Holding Bamboo and saw their teacher so excited, so they also observed the bamboo and were surprised.
Although they are not as experienced as Old Tao, they also learn bamboo carving from Old Tao, and they naturally know it.
The materials of bamboo carving are naturally fastidious. Bamboo carving must first choose good bamboo materials.
For example, they like to choose Anhui Dongzhu.
Every December, they go to Huangshan and Jing County in Anhui to buy bamboo. The bamboo age is very particular. It must grow for more than 5 years.
The hardness and color were just right.
Before the official bamboo carving, the big bamboo had to be boiled in water for three hours to prevent it from being eaten by insects. However, this was not enough. It had to be dried in the sun for another two months until the surface of the bamboo changed from green to amber yellow.
Only then could he carve.
For a master sculptor, the requirements for materials were higher and more meticulous. They were all carefully selected. A good material played a vital role in the exquisiteness, beauty, value, and preservation of the sculpture.
The Mandarin Duck Holding Bamboo Dish used such a hard, strong, and jade-like bamboo, which was the material that all bamboo carvers dreamed of. If it was announced, it was believed that all bamboo carving masters in the future would use this kind of bamboo.
They find it hard to believe.
Such a top-grade bamboo should be famous all over the world. It should be ranked at the top of all bamboos and labeled as the 'King of Ten Thousand Bamboos'. How could it be so unknown?
If he hadn't seen it here today, he wouldn't have known.
"You two foodies, did you just realize it?" Elder Tao was both angry and amused.
"This dish is so delicious that I didn't notice it for a moment." The freckled girl and the tall young man both scratched their heads in embarrassment.
"Mr. Su, do you still have this kind of bamboo?" Elder Tao asked again.
"I still have some at home." Sue said.
Elder Tao said.
"I'm preparing a new bamboo carving work. I don't know if I can buy a few of this bamboo from you?" Elder Tao said.
After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Sue wouldn't agree.
He quickly added, "I'll help you repair a few broken chairs and sofas that you mentioned.
I will try my best to help you perfect it for free. "
"Oh?" Sue was stunned.
He didn't expect the blessing to come so suddenly. It seemed that Elder Tao really liked this kind of bamboo, but for him, this kind of bamboo was not precious.
He said, "Well, since you help me repair it for free, then I'll give you a few pieces of bamboo for free."
"Haha, deal."
Elder Tao suddenly smiled and turned to say, "I'm really curious, so I'll ask again. Since these bamboos are cultivated by your family, there must be some source. Where did they come from?"
The freckled girl and the tall young man pricked up their ears and they also wanted to know the source of this bamboo. If they knew, they must get some back and try to carve it themselves. Such a good bamboo, they really want to use it to carve a few works.
Moreover, if this kind of bamboo is sold, it should sell very well.
"I bought it from an old mountain village resident who set up a stall on the street. He said that he saw a bamboo on the mountain that was very special, so he dug it down and came to the market to sell fruit tree seedlings, so he brought this bamboo with him.
I liked it very much, so I bought it and planted it. "Sue lied.
After all, he can't tell them that this is a bamboo from a different time and space that fell from the Garbage Station.
"There's such a thing." Elder Tao looked surprised.
"Mr. Su, can you take us to see the bamboo you planted?" The freckled girl said.
"Sorry, my bamboo is planted upstairs, and there are many dangerous animals such as snakes and scorpions in it, so it's not convenient for you to see it." Sue said.
There are many things on the third floor that are not suitable for outsiders to see. Except for Shi Qing and his family, no one has been allowed to enter.
Hearing that there were snakes and scorpions, the freckled girl was a little scared, Old Tao and the tall young man were also a little scared, so they didn't ask to see it again.
"Old Tao, why don't you come to my house and sit down? I'll show you those broken chairs and sofas and cut some bamboo for you by the way." Sue said.
Now that he has finished the customers' orders, he doesn't plan to continue cooking.
"Okay." Old Tao couldn't wait to get the bamboo, so he agreed. Sue
Then he took Old Tao, the freckled girl, and the tall young man home, but as soon as he left the door of the store, the customers in the store were unhappy.
"Young God of Cooking, why are you leaving?
I'm going to add more dishes. "
"I just came and haven't ordered yet. I heard that the three new dishes are great. Everyone said they were delicious."
"Sorry, I have to go first." Sue
Hurry up and leave.
Those customers who were going to add more dishes felt sorry for them. Those who just came and didn't eat it had a black face and their intestines were a little green with regret. If they had known earlier, they would have come earlier.
"Third Uncle, do you want to take this dish back to Sister Yan?" The thin young man looked at the packed Mandarin Duck Holding Bamboo and swallowed his saliva.
"Why, haven't you eaten enough yet?
Don't forget that our main purpose of coming here is to bring your Sister Yan a dish made by Qingyun Town Young God of Cooking. "The chunky middle-aged man glanced at the thin young man who swallowed his saliva and laughed.
