"Grandpa!"
"Little Jie, what are you busy with?"
"Oh, I'm buying something in town. I'll go back later.”
"Oh, then come back to my side. I've thought about something. Come and see if it works!”
"Okay, okay. I'll come over later.”
Xia Jie put down his phone and shouted at Song Xiaodong, who was chatting with the girl selling milk tea.
"Xiao Dong, let's go. I'll go back first. The old man is looking for me!”
"Oh, oh, I'm coming!"
Picking up the milk tea, Song Xiaodong quickly jumped onto the three-wheeled motorcycle.
"Brother Jie, what are you doing in the afternoon?”
Song Xiaodong asked cheerfully on the way back after tasting the sweetness last time.
"Are you addicted to fighting? Take it easy."
Xia Jie smiled." What's wrong? Don't you need to work on the orchard at home recently?"”
"Yeah, basically all of them have been sold out. The market is doing well this year. The old man said that he would buy me a Wuling Light at the end of the year and go straight to a well-off life!”
Song Xiaodong grinned.
"Yo, then you've changed your shotgun to a cannon.”
Xia Jie teased.
"Hehe, Brother Jie, if you need anything, just say the word and I'll be there!”
Song Xiaodong raised his head and said in high spirits.
……
"Grandpa, I'm here!"
As soon as he entered, he saw the old man sitting at the carpenter's table. He was holding a ruler and pen, drawing something on a thick wooden board.
"Grandpa, what are you planning to do?”
Xia Jie walked up to him and couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you say that everyone liked the Luban stool last time? So I'm going to make a Luban lock this time!”
Xia Changjiang said cheerfully.
"Grandpa, the Luban lock doesn't look like this, right?”
Xia Jie, who had played with the old man's Luban lock when he was young, asked curiously.
"Yes, it was common in the past. This time, I'm going to change it and make a pumpkin Luban lock. What do you think?”
Xia Changjiang picked up the wooden board and asked,
After pondering for the past few days, he already knew what to do.
"Sure, it just so happens that the video is also playing on Pumpkin Platform. It's quite interesting!”
Xia Jie was looking forward to the pumpkin Luban lock that his grandfather had mentioned.
"Then it's settled."
With that, the old man picked up the saw and prepared to start work.
"Grandpa, wait. I'll record a video for you.”
Xia Jie quickly summoned the drone and turned on the recording function.
"Today, Grandpa is going to make a Luban lock. Everyone commonly sees toys made from six rice sticks, but today, Grandpa is going to make a pumpkin Luban lock. It's very worth looking forward to.”
The old man pressed the wooden block that had already been drawn on the carpenter's table and sawed it meticulously.
"Grandpa, I'm going to cook!"
Seeing that he could not help much, Xia Jie found a job for himself.
He had brought the remaining half of the white truffle for the old man to try.
"Yes!"
Xia Changjiang snorted, completely immersed in the joy of carpentry.
After working as a carpenter for most of his life, he was still able to make use of his remaining skills. It was enough for him to make many people like this traditional Chinese craft.
……
The progress of making the pumpkin Luban lock was very smooth, and the prototype was completed before dinner.
Xia Changjiang did not ask Xia Jie to intervene. He continued to polish the parts.
After the wax was done, he arranged all the components on the table and began to assemble them.
Under the old man's rough and agile hands, a lifelike pumpkin Luban lock was successfully made.
There was no drawing or model reference. Everything was conceived in his mind and formed in his hands.
The traditional mortise and tenon structure was just so magical!
"Little Jie, what do you think of this Pumpkin Luban Lock?”
The old man asked as he held the wooden pumpkin with both hands.
"There's nothing to say. Grandpa, your craftsmanship is really amazing!”
"I'll make it tonight and send it up. Let everyone see our original Luban bricks. It's much better than those Lego bricks!”
Xia Jie gave him a thumbs up and said impatiently.
"Lego bricks? What are those?”
Xia Changjiang blinked and asked.
The old man, who lived in the mountain village and did not go online, really did not know about these new things.
"Oh, it's a type of building block toy from overseas. It's quite popular in China.”
Xia Jie explained as he picked up his phone, searched it, and handed it over.
"Then, that's it. Grandpa, take a look.”
Xia Changjiang took the phone and looked at it for a while before saying thoughtfully.
"I see. I can try it later.”
"Yes, yes. Let's take a look at the effects of this video first. There's no hurry.”
Seeing his grandfather stand up and shake his arm, Xia Jie quickly went up to help him massage his shoulders and said.
"By the way, Grandpa, I ordered a massage chair for you today. It will probably be delivered tomorrow. In the future, you don't have to go to the blind man at the village entrance to enjoy the massage.”
"Child, you should save your money. Why did you buy a massage chair for no reason? That thing isn't cheap, right?”
The old man frowned and asked.
"Hai, it's not much. Grandpa, don't ask. I've already bought it.”
"Let's go, the dishes are cold. Let's hurry up and eat!”
Xia Jie smiled and pulled the old man into the house.
……
"Boss, Grandpa Xiamu's author just updated a new video. The effect is very good!”
In Pumpkin Company's operations department, an employee saw the skyrocketing broadcast data and quickly called Manager Ma Dakang.
"What? What did you say? Louder!”
Ma Dakang, who was drinking at the dinner table, walked outside and asked.
"Grandpa Natsume just updated a video about making a pumpkin Luban Lock. In less than half an hour, it has already exceeded 100,000 views!”
the employee said excitedly.
This was definitely a phenomenal work.
Moreover, the Pumpkin Luban Lock corresponded to the Pumpkin Video, which could be considered as an invisible advertisement for the company.
"Alright, alright, immediately promote them and see how the 24-hour data is!”
After giving his instructions, Ma Da Kang opened the platform and clicked on the ID of " Grandpa Xiamu ". As expected, there was a new video: Pumpkin Luban Lock.
Ma Dakang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he saw that the old man was able to piece together a realistic little pumpkin from the wood strips of different lengths.
"The Luban lock can actually be played like this. Old Master's craftsmanship is simply too godly!”
He immediately forwarded the video to the big boss of the company.
"Boss, the master carpenter I mentioned to you last time made another pumpkin Luban chair. I think it's quite meaningful. Do you think we can buy it?”
After a moment, the big boss replied concisely, Good!
Seeing that the big boss was quite interested, Ma Da Kang was no longer in the mood to drink. He quickly called Xia Jie.
