Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 57 What spot?

"How can you tease Mr. Zhang?"

"You are not welcome here!"

Zaiyu and Zigong were kicked out of the workshop and were never allowed to enter again.

Zigong was standing outside the workshop door, under the direct sunlight of noon, forcing him to sigh.

"The sun is so dazzling."

He also paid the deposit and found a relationship, and finally got on the line of Mr. Zhang, but because of such a small change, he lost everything.

Now not only the money has been deducted, but also the bow and arrow are gone. What is he trying so hard for?
Zi Gong turned his head to look at Jai Yu. He thought that this guy would be as frustrated as himself, but Jai Yu was holding his chin as if he was thinking about something.

Zigong stepped forward angrily and amusedly, and said, "What are you doing standing there? Let's go back. Mr. Zhang's road is definitely not going to work."

Unexpectedly, Zai Yu replied in a serious manner: "Don't worry, things may have a turning point."

"Turn around? How can he turn around when he is so angry?"

Zai Yu snorted disdainfully: "There are several rules for lobbying others.

Don't impose on others what others don't want.

Don't teach others what others don't understand.

If the other party has a certain hobby, it is necessary to learn related things to cater to his interest.

If the other party dislikes something, it should be taboo, so as not to cause resentment. "

Zi Gong has a very high level of comprehension, he carefully read Zai Yu's words, and felt that there was a lot of truth in them.

"You mean to say that Mr. Zhang's attitude towards us improved before because we answered his questions correctly and made him feel that we have common hobbies, so he showed closeness to us.

And the reason why we will be driven out is because Mr. Zhang hates the new bow-making skills you provide, he doesn't like to make big changes, and he doesn't understand these new things, so he hates us. "

Jae Yu shook his head: "You're only half right."

"Then which half am I wrong?"

Zai Yu said: "Just now I recalled Mr. Zhang's speech when he was furious, he should not hate the new bow-making skills, otherwise he would not agree to see us.

And, if he really hates new things, why would he ask me for paper?It can be seen that he is by no means a conservative person. "

After hearing this, Zi Gong thought about it based on his memories.

"Hey, that seems to be the case. If you put it this way... the reason why Mr. Zhang is angry is probably because of... that shock absorber!"

"It's not just the shock absorber." Jae Yu said, "It's all new parts."

Zigong frowned and said, "Could it be that Mr. Zhang thinks our plan is not feasible?"

"I think, if our plan is not feasible, then Mr. Zhang won't be angry."

"how do I say this?"

Jae Yu gave an example and said: "Would a normal person care about an unreasonable child?

For Mr. Zhang, we are like children in the bow making industry.

If what we bring up is extremely funny, Mr. Zhang just laughs it off.

But if our plan is feasible, what do you think is the face of a child who has been immersed in the bow-making industry for many years, and what he puts forward out of hand is far superior to him? "

After hearing this, Zigong frowned suddenly: "My son, don't you think Mr. Zhang's tolerance is too narrow?"

Zaiyu said indifferently: "This has nothing to do with temperament, it's human nature.

The Master said: Restraining oneself and returning to propriety is benevolence.A day of self-denial and ritual, the world will be benevolent.

Restrain oneself, do everything according to the requirements of propriety, this is benevolence.Once you do this, people all over the world will praise you for your benevolence.

Therefore, the reason why a gentleman of benevolence and morality is magnificent is not because a gentleman is not jealous of others, but because a gentleman knows how to restrain himself.

We took out such ingenious blueprints, and Mr. Zhang would react in that way, everything is reasonable. "

"Then what shall we do now?"

Zai Yu muttered: "If my words are really true, then I plan to find another way, and continue to lobby Mr. Zhang in another way, so that he will agree to help us make bows."

Zigong asked suspiciously: "Then if Mr. Zhang is not what you imagined, won't you continue to piss him off if you continue to lobby?"

Zai Yu laughed: "So what? Anyway, he is already angry. Judging by his furious appearance today, the situation cannot be worse than this.

If I guess right, he'll make bows for us.If I guess wrong, then guess wrong. "

"So where are you going to start?"

"I heard that for those who are close on the outside but alienated on the inside, you should lobby from the heart and move with sincerity.

And for those who are close on the inside but alienated on the outside, lobbying should be done from the outside in order to keep the outside and the inside the same.

So, do you see that kid up front? "

Zaiyu raised his finger forward, and Zigong looked along.

A child was squatting at the foot of the wall outside the workshop, playing around with a few pieces of wood in his hands. Seeing his concentration and meticulous appearance, he looked like a master carpenter who had been working for 20 years.

But Zi Gong didn't care what the child was doing. What caught his attention was that the child looked somewhat similar to Mr. Zhang.

Considering that he can move freely inside and outside Mr. Zhang's workshop, then the identity of this child is self-evident.

Zi Gong said in surprise, "This is Mr. Zhang's grandson, right?"

Zai Yu nodded approvingly: "It's probably true."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled in unison, then they turned into the market around the workshop together as if they had made an appointment.

It was not long before they came back with an earthenware bowl full of caramel.

Zigong was still a little hesitant: "Tricking children with caramel, isn't it too despicable for us to do this?"

Zaiyu said calmly: "The bending of the inchworm is for trust. The sting of the dragon and snake is for shelter. The inchworm bends its body as much as possible to stretch forward. The hibernation of the dragon and snake is to preserve life.

A man can bend and stretch, how can he stick to small details in doing things? "

After speaking, Jai Yu was the first to rush up with caramel.

He leaned in front of the child, knelt down and watched him fiddle with the small wooden piece in his hand.

It has to be said that as expected of Mr. Zhang's grandchildren and Zhang Hui's descendants, even if they are still young, they have already mastered carpentry work to perfection.

The child didn't notice Jae Yu's arrival, all his attention was focused on the wooden piece in front of him.

Holding a carving knife in his hand, he cut off the excess part of the wood block bit by bit. Judging from the shape of the whole block, he seems to want to carve the image of a bird.

After a while, the child finally carved the bird's body into shape, and then pressed the wooden piece of wings on it.

Afterwards, he fiddled with the two wings with his hands, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the wings could swing flexibly.

Under Jae Yu's gaze, the child picked up the flat bird-shaped wood carving and weighed it in his hands.

Then hold its tail, with a little force on the wrist, throw it forward.

Zai Yu thought that the wood carving would fall to the ground in a short time, but the truth was beyond his imagination.

A gust of wind blew by, and the wings of the bird sculpture swayed with the wind, riding the air current to fly high, and it flew a full 400 meters before landing.

"This this……"

This time, not only Zaiyu was dumbfounded, but Zi Gong who was beside him was also dumbfounded.

"What is this? It's amazing!"

The child has a thin skin, and when Zaiyu and Zigong praised him so much, his pink face immediately turned red.

He bowed his head shyly, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I call it Wooden Yuan."

"You call it wooden kite?" Zaiyu said in surprise, "Could it be that you invented this thing?"

The child just nodded: "It's the first time I did it, and I didn't do it well."

Zigong flattered without hesitation: "Isn't that good? If it's not good, then what else can we call it good?"

Zai Yu took out caramel at the right time, taking the opportunity to reward this little inventor.

"You are amazing. You are indeed a descendant of Mr. Zhang, a descendant of Zhang Hui. You can make wooden kites at a young age. If you are older, you will be fine. Come, eat some caramel."

The child couldn't stand being praised by them, so he could only keep giggling and eating caramel.

Jae Yu asked: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet. What's your name?"

"Me?" The child smiled happily with caramel in his mouth, "My name is Ban."

Jae Yu squatted aside and laughed with him: "Oh! I see, your name is Zhang Ban, right?"

Unexpectedly, the child shook his head: "I'm not Zhang."

"Eh?"

Zaiyu's brain was short-circuited for a while.

what happened?

Praise the wrong child?

He hurriedly asked: "Aren't you the grandson of Mr. Zhang?"

The child sucked the caramel and replied: "He is my grandfather, so I am not Zhang."

Zi Gong heaved a sigh of relief: "Grandpa is also fine."

Zaiyu smiled and asked again: "Oh, so that's the case, I was wrong. Then your name is not Zhang Ban, what is your name? It can't be Uchiha Madara, right?"

The child took another piece of caramel, and answered Jae Yu's questions.

"My Gongshu is called Gongshu Ban!"

Ok?
Zai Yu was taken aback.

Gongshuban?
"Sigh~~~"

Zai Yu gasped: "This is even more ruthless than Uchiha Madara!"

　All the nasty referrals are thrown on my plate,

　　you little capricious,
　　It has become my great happiness.
