"I remember that you're the husband of the First Master of this courtyard, right?”
Wang Gang smiled at the auntie and said straightforwardly,
"Auntie, I didn't get it wrong. This is for Chen Qi. This kid is so successful now. I couldn't believe his craftsmanship when I heard about it today!”
Wang Gang sighed.
"What craftsmanship?"
Everyone was stunned.
Just as she was about to ask for more details, Chen Qi pulled Du Rou out of the house.
"Uncle Wang, it's really you. I didn't expect you to deliver goods for me!”
Chen Qi pulled Du Rou to Wang Gang with a smile on his face. At the same time, he said to Du Rou,
"Go, get some water for the masters. Seriously, I haven't had guests in a long time, so I forgot to buy some things to entertain them!”
As he spoke, Chen Qi said to Wang Gang,
"Uncle Wang, please don't mind me!"
"It's okay, it's okay. We don't need water. We'll leave immediately. There's a woman waiting outside. Her son and mother-in-law are injured.”
Wang Gang smiled and waved his hand.
"So that's how it is!"
Everyone guessed that the person waiting outside was Qin Huairu.
However, everyone was more curious about Chen Qi.
Therefore, they ignored them and pricked up their ears to listen to what the two were talking about.
"You, on the other hand, have grown stronger after two years. I heard some shocking news today!”
Wang Gang sized up Chen Qi, as if he was ready to get to know Chen Qi again.
"Did you hear it from Uncle Zhao?"
Chen Qi raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Old Zhao told me. Good lord, he said that you are at least a Level 9 Carpenter, or even a Level 10 Carpenter that no one has ever reached!”
Wang Gang said in shock and excitement. At the end, he added,
"I'm talking about a real Level 10 Carpenter!”
As soon as Wang Gang said this, the surroundings fell silent.
Even Du Rou, who was beside Chen Qi, trembled.
The others looked at Chen Qi in disbelief.
"Level 10 Carpenter? Uncle Wang must be joking. There was no such thing as a Level 10 Carpenter. That was just a joke in the Carpenter industry, right?”
Chen Qi was also stunned, then he chuckled.
In this era, carpentry was the same as other jobs. It was divided into nine simple and crude grades.
Those fitter, welders, mechanics, and other types of work that came later could continue to study after Level 9.
After all, those top jobs in the country could not compare to those in the international market.
However, carpenters were definitely things passed down from their ancestors.
A Level 9 Carpenter represented the world's top Carpenter.
There was also a saying in the industry.
To say that a person's carpentry skills were very good meant that the person was a Level 10 Carpenter.
Although it was a joke, it proved that the person's craftsmanship was indeed widely recognized by everyone.
(I searched online for half an hour. Some said that the highest level was 9, while others said that it was 10. However, there was this joke!) This was the standard for the country to reach the maximum level of 9!）
In Chen Qi's current world, there were Level 9 Masters in the country, but there were very few.
No more than a single digit.
"It's true. Didn't you show off in front of Old Zhao today? He immediately showed it to his Level 9 Carpenter Master!”
"Although the old master is old, his eyes are still sharp. The old master has admitted that your skills are higher than his. You are at least a Level 9 carpenter, and you have even surpassed the evaluation standard of a Level 9 carpenter!”
"Moreover, the old master also said that your technique seems to be lacking, which means that you don't seem to have used your full strength. Is that true?”
Wang Gang stared at Chen Qi.
When he first heard the news, he was also shocked and could not believe it.
Old Zhao was a Level 8 Carpenter.
How could someone who could forge wooden tools for big shots in Beijing be bad?
There were only a few Level 9 Carpenters in the entire country, and they were scattered all over the country.
Old Zhao's small factory might seem small.
The things produced were for the chiefs and some important people.
Among the group of old carpenters that Chen Qi had met today, the weakest was level 6, and most of them had reached level 7.
"Is that true?"
Chen Qi was stunned.
He didn't expect that someone would be able to see through his concealment.
It seemed that he could not underestimate the capable people in the world.
When Wang Gang saw Chen Qi's expression, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that this kid was probably really hiding his strength.
At this moment, the others were already stunned.
All of them looked at Chen Qi in disbelief. The word 'disbelief' was written all over their faces.
"Kid, you're so young, but you actually have such ability? How did you do it? Although your father is also very powerful, he is only a Level 7 Carpenter!”
Seeing this, Wang Gang didn't mention it anymore and asked instead.
"Old man? I casually learned from him for two years and surpassed him. This kind of thing depends on talent!”
Chen Qi revealed a disdainful expression. His acting skills were still very solid.
"Hua ~~"
Hearing Chen Qi indirectly admitting his carpentry skills, everyone in the courtyard instantly exploded.
"It can't be true, right?"
"Level 9 Carpenter? Oh my god!"
"What kind of god-level craftsmanship is that?”
"Didn't you hear? Chen Qi had already surpassed the standard of a Level 9 carpenter!”
"I knew it. Old Chen is such a good cook. Why didn't he pass it on to Chen Qi?”
"So it turns out that Chen Qi had learned it long ago and surpassed his master!!”
"Not only did our academy produce a Level 8 fitter, but it also produced a Level 9 carpenter?”
"You don't understand. The level of a carpenter is completely different from that of a fitter. This is something left behind by our ancestors!”
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Chen Qi differently.
Even Chen Qi, Wang Gang, and the others could feel the fervor in his eyes.
"Yo, looks like your neighbors don't know?”
Wang Gang was even more surprised.
"Um, Uncle Wang, I gave up on myself for two years because my parents passed away suddenly. I just woke up and prepared to start over!”
When Chen Qi said this, he clearly felt Du Rou's hand tremble.
Chen Qi tightened his grip on Du Rou's hand and turned to Du Rou with a gentle smile.
"Is that so? Looks like you've found a wife who knows how to live. Look at you!”
Wang Gang took in their actions and expressions.
With his experience, it was not difficult for him to guess that Chen Qi's wife must have suffered a lot because of Chen Qi's self-abandonment.
"Alright, I've brought you the two second-class wood you exchanged for today! Tsk tsk, these two pieces of wood add up to 30 yuan. Your craftsmanship is too popular!”
Wang Gang praised.
"What is it? These two pieces of wood cost 30 yuan? And someone gave it to Chen Qi?"
"It must be a good piece of wood! Chen Qi, this kid, had made a name for himself. The Chen family was really going to be rich!”
"Du Rou, that girl, has also made a name for herself!”
"Yeah, he was so pitiful before. He was even beaten up by Chen Qi every day. At that time, Chen Qi must have been devastated by the death of his parents!”
"A prodigal son returning to his old ways is worth more than gold. Look, Du Rou's good days are coming!”
"Isn't that so? Look at how much better she looked since she poisoned Chen Qi!”
"Shh, don't spout nonsense!"
Other than shock, the people around them were also envious.
