God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 203 Life and Death
"In the end I went to Shichahai Martial Arts School as a sparring partner, and Lao Ding went to a construction site to work as a worker, but we each had a chance. I worshiped a good master, and Lao Ding also met a good teacher, and I learned how to live and work. "It's a pity that the other two were short-lived, one had an accident on the construction site, and the other died of illness more than 20 years ago."

Xu Jingxing was silent for a moment, "Life and death are fate."

"Yes, life and death are fate, but success or failure is up to me. Those of us who practice martial arts must take our own destiny into our own hands, and we must not leave it to God to deal with it," said old man Zhu, waving his fist forcefully.

"Uh, that's the reason." What else could Xu Jingxing say, but if a martial arts practitioner doesn't have this aura, he won't be able to train well. It's not unreasonable for old man Zhu to be able to maintain such fighting power at this age .

"Haha, you know the truth better than me, so I won't talk nonsense, let's go, practice?" Old man Zhu laughed, pulling Xu Jingxing to be a training partner.

Xu Jingxing hastily raised his hand in surrender, "Master, just let me rest, and this carving is finished, I should go home and prepare for opening a shop."

"Okay," Old Man Zhu was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. He went back to the house and handed him a check, "Hey, this is the wage we negotiated."

There was nothing embarrassing about my salary. Xu Jingxing took it over and looked at the figure, but it was not the 15 that was negotiated before, but [-]. He hesitated and asked, "Did you get the wrong check?"

"That's right, it's yours. I made it for you specially. Otherwise, who else has nothing to do with checks at home?" Old man Zhu smiled and waved his hands, "Put it away."

"However, that's not the number we were talking about before. You gave me an extra 5 yuan for no reason. I don't feel at ease with it."

"If you want to hold it, you can hold it. If nothing else, the base alone is worth a lot of money. Although I don't know much about the market of wood, I also know that the market price of red sandalwood is not cheap," Zhu said. But he didn't allow him to refuse and waved his hand.

After hearing this, Xu Jingxing also fell silent.

When he was doing the design, he really didn't consider the issue of the base, because at that time he thought that he could just find a piece of wood to make it, even if he used Ketan material, it would only cost a thousand dollars.But when the project was about to be completed, he suddenly found that Zhu's house had no wood for carving, so he had to take it from his own house. So I picked a piece of the best small-leaf red sandalwood material to make the base.

When he made it, he didn't make any noise, let alone the value of this material, and old man Zhu didn't care at that time.

But the fire cannot be contained in the paper, old man Zhu doesn't know the goods, and some are people who know the goods. If you say something about this, say something about that, old man Zhu will know it no matter how stupid he is.

It's just that he didn't expect that old man Zhu would make up for this in salary, and he subconsciously wanted to decline, but then he thought about it, how can a mere piece of red sandalwood offset old man Zhu's life-saving grace?I have owed such a big favor, and still care about this mere 5 yuan?It's better to accept it happily, and return these favors from other aspects in the future.

Thinking of this, he put away the check and said with a wry smile: "Master, you are, hey, when will I repay this favor? I guess this life will last forever."

"Hahaha, don't pay it back if it's not over yet, at worst, come and become my apprentice, that will not only pay back my favor, but turn it over and make me owe you a big favor, how about it?" Old man Zhu said with a hearty smile .

Xu Jingxing smiled wryly, but after thinking about it, anyway, the relationship with Mr. Zhu's family has become indistinguishable. It seems that it's nothing to be his apprentice, and it's pretty good to learn some boxing skills. Even Mr. Yunhai is also a trainer ?
When he was thinking about it, the old man Zhu laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously, our relationship is not bad at that level, why don't you become my apprentice, and you won't come to see me in the future Me?"

"of course not."

"That's right, I'll be very happy to come and accompany me to move my legs and feet when I have time, haha."

This old man, is this a plan to retreat?
Xu Jingxing returned to the house with the check, spoke to Grandma Liu, and then left with peace of mind under the watchful eyes of the old couple.

In the car, An Xin asked excitedly: "Master, do you really want to participate in that competition?"

"I can't decide this, it depends on Mr. Ding, and in the final analysis, I'm just a layman. I just carve the components according to Mr. Ding's requirements. I don't have any role in other things. And If I want to intervene, I don't know where to intervene, because your master and I know nothing but sculpture," Xu Jingxing shook his head with emotion.

"Hehe, master, you are being humble again, don't think I don't know, you actually understand architecture, right?" An Xin smiled, revealing his old background.

"How did you know?"

"Master, the small components you have been busy working on these days are not mortise and tenon structures, but they have been reduced many times, like miniature models."

"You have good eyesight, you actually know what I'm doing. It seems that Master didn't teach you in vain, keep working hard," Xu Jingxing said with a smile, which was considered to be acknowledgment of An Xin's statement.He does understand some buildings. How can someone who understands tenon and tenon structures not understand ancient buildings?In ancient times, most of the buildings were mortise and tenon structure. The structure used in furniture is slightly different from that used in architecture, but the principle is the same. If you really understand the principle, there is no difference between the two.

But to make furniture, you can do it yourself, but to do architecture, you not only need to understand technology, but also direct workers, because your design needs construction workers to complete, and one person cannot build a building.

So he said that he understands ancient buildings, and it is true, but if he is asked to be responsible for building an ancient building, then he is really not that capable.

As for the miniature models of ancient buildings mentioned by An Xin, there is indeed such a thing. He has been trying to make a set of miniature ancient buildings for a while, but this task is too complicated, and it also tests patience and carefulness, so he is still in the In the constant attempts, it will take a while to assemble and shape.

An Xin laughed and said: "Master, are you really planning to win an award? No. 1100 million, No. 250 million, No. 320 million, wow, if you get No. 1, you will be well-off, Master."

"Is it so easy for you to be No. 1? I didn't hear what Mr. Ding said. This competition is very high-standard, and there are many professionals from all over the country participating. For an amateur like me, if I can show my face, I will be burned." It smells great."
