Chapter 106 The Japanese Arrived

Chapter [-] The Japanese Arrived

Early the next morning, Li Junge took Liang Huili and Ah Yinyu, the bamboo strip maker uncle, to the county town to pick up the guests.

Liu Sanwa rushed over early, and said to Li Junge: "Oh Erpi, why don't you ask the master to come out? You asked me to receive foreign guests, I'm really a little scared!"

Li Junge said: "What are you afraid of? They are human too! Besides, I heard that the Japanese like mushrooms the most, especially matsutake and chicken fir. I asked my uncle to prepare them for you. You know how to make these? "

Liu Sanwa said: "Hey! It's that simple? That's no problem. If I'm an apprentice for four years, I can't be a mushroom. I don't need to be beaten to death by the master. I can jump into this river by myself."

Li Junge turned to Liang Huili and Ayin and said, "You don't have to be nervous, just look at the bamboo strip maker."

A few young people had never received foreign guests before, and they were all a little nervous, but Uncle Bamboo Carpenter didn't take it seriously.

A Yin quietly asked Li Junge: "Why is Uncle Bamboo Carpenter so calm?"

Li Junge said to A Yin with a smirk: "I didn't tell Uncle Bale Craftsman what level the person came, I just told Uncle Bale Craftsman that he was also a Bamboo Craftsman."

Li Junge turned on the phone, and showed A Yin the information sent by the wandering little fish.

A Yin took it over and read: "Masao Ikeda, male, 52 years old, chairman of the Kishu Pole Making Association in Hashimoto City, Japan, a master of Kishu and pole craftsmen, and the "Thirty Craftsmen of the New Century" announced by the Ministry of Labor of Japan in 2000 The only person selected for making Master's Zhonghe pole, and his works have been selected as national gifts for visitors to Japan many times."

After finishing speaking, he slapped Li Junge, and said angrily, "You must be bad! He is a Japanese national treasure-level craftsman. You tell Uncle Bamboo Craftsman that such a person is a Japanese bamboo craftsman?"

Li Junge said: "Don't look down on yourself, okay? Making poles is only one of the bamboo craftsmen's bamboo craftsman, and in this aspect, he is absolutely no worse than Master Ikeda. Old man Chitian can only make poles, saying that he is bamboo Carpenter, this is all flattery."

Ayin burst out laughing, rolled her beautiful eyes and said, "You are changing the concept secretly. He is a Japanese national treasure. What is Uncle Bamboo Carpenter?"

Li Junge said: "I have confidence in Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, and I believe he will be a national treasure sooner or later."

After speaking, he sighed and said: "Japanese culture is different from Chinese culture. Their culture doesn't pay attention to pure theoretical research, they pay attention to 'type', that is, the sense of structure and the sense of reality, so the status of the top craftsmen in their country So high. Oh, here it is, it should be those three cars."

Call Uncle Bamboo Carpenter to come over and pat him on his clothes. Uncle Bapper Carpenter still wears Erbu shirt and green cloth trousers, the only difference is that there is no sleeve and apron.

He was the main character, and Li Junge didn't have the nerve to dress more neatly than him, so he wore a second-cloth shirt and big-cloth trousers, similar to the one painted on the ceiling of Wuxi No. [-].

Several people got on and off the three black cars. The first one was a black Audi A6. The people who got off looked like government officials. They wore leather shoes, trousers, white shirts, and black-rimmed glasses. The two people next to them also wore similar clothes.

The second and third cars are Mercedes-Benz, and the people on and off are more casually dressed.

One is a man with gray hair, wearing a home kimono, with wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes, and thick silkworms on his lower eyelids.

Beside him was a beautiful woman in her twenties, not tall but with a curvaceous figure, wearing a thin silk pullover and linen skirt, snuggling beside the man.

Among the three who followed, one was a thin young man with a small bag on his back. He waved his hands violently when he saw Li Junge. He must be a wandering little fish.

One of the other two was a middle-aged man who was about the same size as Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, with a well-proportioned physique, wearing casual shirts, and looked respectful towards the gray-haired man.

There was another young man in his twenties, who was curiously looking at the paintings on Wuxi No. [-] on the river below the pier, and took pictures with his camera card.

Li Junge and his party hurried up to meet them.

One of the three officials greeted Liang Huili with a smile: "Xiao Liang, you are hiding in a ravine to release satellites! Ayin, you are not bad, you have made such a big commotion when you just took office! Come on, come on." , let me introduce you.”

This is Gu Changchuan, director of Jiachuan County Cultural Bureau, and two officials next to him are Huang Yu, deputy mayor of Manzhou City in charge of culture and education, and Zhang Kaiping, deputy director of Shudu Provincial Department of Culture.

Among the Japanese, the gray-haired man is of course Ikeda Masao, the lady next to him is his daughter Ikeda Yoshiko, and the respectful ones beside him are Masao Ikeda's senior disciple Kudosaku and his young disciple Ichiro Yamamoto.

The remaining one is a wandering little fish working in Japan, whose real name is Zhang Lixin.

Liang Huili said: "Director Gu, you praised us too much. In fact, Master Huang's bamboo art was discovered by this person."

After speaking, I introduced Uncle Bamboo Carpenter and Li Junge to everyone.

Uncle Bamboo Craftsman and Masao Ikeda laughed when they saw each other's hands, and shook hands together with a haha.

The wandering little fish hurried forward to translate for the two of them.

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said: "It's really a senior in the same industry! This hand is unambiguous when you touch it."

Masao Ikeda was also very happy to point the other finger at himself, and at the uncle of the bamboo strip maker, and introduced to everyone: "Huang Sang is too polite. In terms of the age of this hand, we are the most equals."

Turning to the uncle craftsman again, he said, "How old was Huang Sang when he became an artist?"

Uncle Bamboo Craftsman said: "I was taken in by an old bamboo craftsman in the village when I was seven years old, and I have been learning crafts from him."

Masao Ikeda gave a thumbs up: "29 years! Two years more than me!"

The two of them were full of friendship there, comparing wounds, what's going on with you, what's going on with me, and they just left a group of people aside.

It was Ryoko Ikeda who muttered something to Masao Ikeda, and Masao Ikeda slapped his forehead and said, "Haha, I'm so happy to see Huang Sang, I'm sorry." After speaking, he bowed to everyone.

Li Junge said: "Then let's get on the boat quickly and chat while blowing the river wind."

After everyone boarded the boat, Ichiro Yamamoto jumped in front of Li Junge and said, "Li Sang, the manga on the top of your boat is so interesting! Did you design it?"

Everyone knows that Japanese kids like cartoons, Li Junge explained: "No, it was drawn by a little girl in our village."

Ichiro Yamamoto said: "Yoxi, first-class! Your Lijiagou is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"

Li Junge had a black line on his forehead, thinking that you would not say that if you knew that Qiu girl was scolded by her father even after being admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts.

Only then did Zhang Zhengxin come over and say to Li Junge: "Master is just a master. You see, Master Huang is not at all stage frightened in dealing with this situation."

Li Junge quietly said to Zhang Zhengxin: "That's because I told Uncle Bamboo Craftsman that there is only a bamboo craftsman from Japan. Why don't you go and translate?"

Zhang Zhengxin said: "Didn't Liangzi take over over there? Some of their craftsmen's things are professional terms, and I can't translate them."

Li Junge said: "Hey, this little Japanese girl can also speak Chinese!"

Zhang Zhengxin said: "What little girl, she is already thirty."

Li Junge said: "This Japanese girl really doesn't look old, and this sister-in-law Fanmei is also thirty."

Zhang Zhengxin said: "Japanese women spend a lot of money on skin care and cosmetics a year."

A group of people were divided into several circles, Uncle Bamboo Craftsman and Ikeda and his daughter were discussing craftsmanship, Kudo Tsukuru and Mimoto Ichiro were discussing scenery, officials were discussing work with Liang Huili and A Yinyu, Li Junge and Zhang Zhengxin were, uh, chatting about gossip .

While speaking, the boat arrived at the bottom of Nongjiale. Li Junge got on the gangplank and invited everyone to get off the boat.

The fourth grandfather, uncle, father, mother, and others were also waiting on the river bank. When they saw the boat coming, they all came down to greet them.

Zhang Kaiping and Huang Yu saw the regulations of the farmhouse, and they both praised: "This house is well-made! There is no way out after mountains and rivers, and there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright."

As soon as he entered the door and saw the Qingming stone screen wall, Zhang Kaiping exclaimed: "What kind of stone is this? There is a lot of water, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal. It's a bit small to see the big."

Turning around the stone wall, Huang Yu couldn't move his eyes when he saw the stone pillar in the middle: "Absolutely! This is as high as Guanyun Peak! The holes are clear, and the eddy current is still turning. It really has a bit of that taste. .”

Guanyunfeng is the famous Taihu stone in Suzhou Lingering Garden, one of the three famous stones in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Junge said: "It can be regarded as meeting an expert, I just think it looks good, so I got it out of the mountain ditch."

"Director Zhang, Mayor Huang, you don't know. I was almost scolded to death by my parents when I erected these two stones at the door. No one in the village thinks they look good."

Zhang Kaiping and Huang Yu laughed, and Zhang Kaiping said: "Now the living standard has improved a lot, but the appreciation level of the villagers still needs to be improved!"

Li Junge said: "That's it, that's why there is a reading room in the village now. Mr. Wu from the Agricultural Technology Station also bought us a few obsolete computers from the Forestry Bureau, and now all of them can access the Internet. The villagers love to read it even if they have nothing to do. "

Gu Changchuan said: "Then your village's cultural undertakings are doing well! By the way, I heard that your township has sorted out a lot of intangible cultural heritage items for declaration."

"It's quite powerful. Other towns can't beat a fart with three sticks. Fortunately, you have reported a dozen items casually! Even Japanese guests have been recruited!"

"You have to support Liang Yatou and A Yin in this matter. This year, Jiachuan County will put a David satellite!"

Huang Yu said: "You see, this is the advantage of having a few college students in the village. They have broad horizons and are aware of their positions. The villagers can see the difference in the things that seem ordinary to them."

Zhang Kaiping said to Li Junge: "We couldn't believe it when we talked about it. You see, you didn't even bring a reporter with you this time, just because you were afraid of messing up."

"The Japanese Kishu and Kanna have been passed down for hundreds of years. Suddenly a bamboo craftsman appeared in the valley and said that he could compete with Japanese handicrafts. No one has any idea."

Li Junge said: "Director Zhang, please rest assured. The craftsman uncle and I have been groping for ten years. It was only announced recently after the craft matured. As a result, the Japanese were recruited as soon as it was announced."

"In fact, I didn't show them anything, just the strength of the fishing rod and the craftsmanship of the tip. What does this mean? It shows that Uncle Bamboo Carpenter's craftsmanship is definitely unique!"
