During the break, Xu Yang asked Zhao Xiangdong as he turned the screws,""Master, do you know where I can find hemp walnuts?”
Zhao Xiangdong shook his head." I heard that the rich men of the Manchu people liked to play this game. Don't touch it."”
"I just want to get two walnuts to exercise the flexibility of my fingers, but my goal is different from those rich playboys.”Xu Yang said.
"I see. Unfortunately, I don't know about this either. I'll ask you when I get back.”Zhao Xiangdong said.
"Xu Yang, I know a little about this. There's an old fellow in our courtyard. I heard that he was the stubborn master of the old city in the past. He liked to play with bottles and jars and squandered his family fortune. The Siheyuan that we used to live in was his family's property, and it all became someone else's. Fortunately, he had squandered all his assets. Otherwise, with their family's previous situation, at least one of them would be a tycoon. In the end, he became a farmer. In the past, those who cheated him of his family property, especially his old house, was a large house with seven or eight rows! The houses were all built with high-quality wood, just like the royal palace. That person was beaten into a local tyrant and had even forced someone to die. After liberation, his family's property was confiscated. This person was also stubborn and burned the house down. He was taken away and shot. In the end, when he was dragged to be executed, he recognized this old fellow and pointed at him without saying a word for a long time.”Guo Dapie said.
"His family was defeated in the right way." Xu Yang smiled.
"That's right. It's a blessing in disguise. After he lost his family, he had no fixed residence. The servant girl that his family had dismissed took him in. Later, the two of them got married. The old man stopped fiddling with bottles and jars. He had some skills and later found a job in Liulichang. Now that he had many children and grandchildren, he would stay at home to take care of his grandchildren after retirement.”Guo Dapezi.
"He knows about the matter of the hemp walnuts?" Xu Yang asked.
"I remember that when I was young, there were still mountains around here. We picked a lot of walnuts from the mountains and wanted to take them back to eat, but there was no meat in the walnuts at all. The old man said that these were walnuts. In the past, these walnuts were very popular in 49 cities. It was common to exchange a pair of good-looking walnuts for a small courtyard house. In this new society, no one played this anymore. This feudal culture should be banned. It's really a waste of time." Guo Dapezi quickly criticized him in case others heard him and said that he was promoting feudal culture.
"I just want to get two hemp heads to practice the flexibility of my fingers. Our fitter's work is heavy physical work. The longer we work, the less flexible our fingers will be. When he went to process those high-level artifacts, he would find that the flexibility of his fingers was too poor, and some very precise artifacts were difficult to process.”Xu Yang had no choice but to make this excuse more perfect.
"I see. I was just saying that when I touch some complicated parts, my hands always shake easily, and I can't control those details well. If he was not careful, he would make a mistake and cause him to fail.”Guo Dapie really believed it. It sounded like what Xu Yang said did make sense. The plate walnuts could indeed improve the flexibility of his fingers.
"It's best not to tell anyone about this matter with the hemp walnut. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives heard it, there might be trouble.”Zhao Xiangdong said worriedly. After all, Wenwan Walnut was related to the remnants of feudal culture.
Xu Yang didn't want to cause trouble. He had originally wanted to improve his antique appraisal skills. If the walnut was determined by others, it would be really troublesome. Therefore, he was prepared to secretly upgrade his skills in the future.
As for Walnut, even if Guo Dapezi couldn't solve it, he was going to hunt in the mountains this weekend. He wanted to see if he could touch the walnut. This kind of thing should be easy to find in the mountains.
After talking about the walnuts, Xu Yang focused on tightening the screw. Skill proficiency points increased bit by bit. The fitter's comprehension also surged into his mind bit by bit.
He didn't deliberately seek to enter a state of enlightenment. Instead, he unknowingly entered a mysterious state that he hadn't entered for many days.
The knowledge of bench work in the two books seemed to come alive in his mind and slowly merged with the bench work experience in his mind. The experience of processing high-level artifacts these days also constantly washed over Xu Yang's mind.
"What is Xu Yang doing?" Guo Dapezi saw that Xu Yang was in a daze and asked curiously.
"Maybe I'm a little tired. Don't disturb him. Let him rest.”Zhao Xiangdong was familiar with this situation.
"Alright, let's go outside and smoke a cigarette.”Guo Dapie took out his cigarette and gave one to Zhao Xiangdong.
"How can I keep smoking your cigarettes?”Zhao Xiangdong said.
"It's just a cigarette. We're a sixth-grade fitter, can't we afford one or two cigarettes?”Guo Dapeizi deliberately tried to get closer to Zhao Xiangdong.
"Forget it. If it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to get close to my disciple, I wouldn't have been able to smoke your cigarette.”Zhao Xiangdong did not stand on ceremony. In any case, this guy had 'bad intents'.
"Old Zhao, you're really lucky." Back then, you were the closest to Xu Yang's father. Otherwise, you might not have been willing to bring Xu Yang along. Even if he did, he might not have put in so much effort. Who would have thought that this kid's talent was so good! If I had known earlier, I would have accepted this disciple back then. I'm a level six fitter. The atmosphere in our workshop has been ruined by Yi Zhonghai. They were all unwilling to take on disciples. You always hold back when teaching craftsmanship."
"It seems that you didn't hold back when you taught your disciple.”Zhao Xiangdong said disdainfully.
"I really didn't hold back. Aren't the few people I brought out all at least third-level locksmith? If I didn't teach them diligently, would they have risen so quickly?”Guo Dapie said.
Xu Yang exited his state of enlightenment. He looked at the virtual interface and was instantly stunned.
[Mechanic Skill: Level 9 Mechanic (512/1000)]
The fitter skill was actually at level nine!
Xu Yang had always thought that his fitter skills were completely on par with the level eight fitter in the factory, but his fitter skills had risen to level nine! It was unknown whether this level nine fitter skill was stronger or weaker than a level eight fitter skill.
"Xu Yang, are you done resting? We saw that you were still resting, so we didn't wait for you to go over for dinner. I've brought you food. Hurry up and eat.”Guo Dapie handed Xu Yang's lunch box over.
There was a sumptuous meal inside. There were four steamed buns, two dishes, and even meat.
"There are meat dishes in the canteen today. It seemed that everyone's recent complaints to the factory that they had no money and no energy to work had worked.”Guo Dapie laughed.
"I'll give you the tickets." Xu Yang prepared to rummage through the meal tickets and food tickets in his pocket.
"Why are you being so polite? The few of us gathered together. You can selflessly teach us how to cook, but if we even ask you for tickets for lunch boxes, are we still human?”Guo Dapie hurriedly stopped him.
"Thank you. I accidentally fell asleep just now." Xu Yang said.
