After dealing with it casually, Zhou Chen glanced at the surrounding lawn and said: "This place is good, with mountains and water. In addition to horse riding, it is also a good place for an outing."
Xie Zhiyao said: "We have many places suitable for outings here. If you need them, I can recommend a few to you."
After chatting with Xie Zhiyao for a while, Zhou Chen left the racecourse. When he returned to the village, it was almost noon. He found a Gesanghua restaurant in the village and drank the famous local water-based Yanghua soup.
The food in the hotel tastes good. Although it is just ordinary home-cooked food, it can be seen that the chef is good and the cooking is delicious.
After lunch, Zhou Chen did not go back to Youfeng Xiaoyuan, but came to the wood carving workshop in the village.
He is actually quite interested in wood carving. After traveling through so many worlds, he has mastered many skills. As a traditional craft, this wood carving craft is very rare nowadays and he has not been exposed to it a few times before.
Anyway, in Yunmiao Village, Xu Hongdou hasn't come yet, and he doesn't have much to do. It's not much fun to play alone. It's also a good time to learn a craft at this time.
According to the TV series, Xie Heshun, the master of the woodcarving workshop, is the inheritor of woodcarving craftsmanship and a state-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor. His craftsmanship is incredible and he is willing to teach his disciples. I just don’t know why he is a tourist from out of town.
Willing to teach.
He decided to give it a try, but if it didn't work, he was familiar with using money to clear the way.
The location of the wood carving workshop was easy to find. Zhou Chen arrived at the wood carving workshop quickly. The wood carving workshop is for sale to outsiders and allows people to come in for viewing, so no one stopped Zhou Chen from entering.
After looking around, I found that there was only one person in the huge wood carving workshop. A young man was sitting there absentmindedly carving on his mobile phone.
He recognized at a glance that this boy was the boy he saw in the tavern in the morning, so he guessed that this boy should be Xie Xiaochun's younger brother, Xie Xiaoxia.
Xie Xiaochun heard the footsteps and said reflexively: "You can look around and tell me if you need anything."
But when he looked up and saw Zhou Chen, his expression suddenly changed. He also recognized Zhou Chen, so he put down the tools in his hands and stared at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen started wandering around the wood carving workshop. The wood carvings here were all kinds of strange and various types, including animals and birds, tables, chairs, furniture, Buddha statues, and so on.
He is not very familiar with the wood carving industry, but based on his own observation, he can tell that there are many wood carvings here, which are very good.
After walking around, he nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Xie Heshun, the state-level intangible cultural heritage heir, was quite capable. If he studied with him, he should be able to learn something.
"Sir, do you need anything?"
Seeing Zhou Chen approaching, Xie Xiaoxia asked.
Zhou Chen asked: "Are you an apprentice here? Where is your master here?"
"My master has gone back to have dinner. Do you have anything to do with my master?"
"I would like to ask if your master is willing to teach wood carving skills. I can pay the tuition."
"You want to learn wood carving?"
Xie Xiaoxia's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.
He himself was a woodcarving apprentice, but after studying for several years, he gradually lost his enthusiasm and confidence in this industry.
Zhou Chen was a tourist from outside, and he actually said that he wanted to learn wood carving skills. This was something he had never thought about.
"Yes, I am quite interested in your wood carving. When will your master come back? I will wait for him here."
Xie Xiaoxia said: "My master has to take a lunch break after dinner, so he should have to wait for a while."
"It's okay, I'll just wait here. You go about your business and I'll take a look."
"Uh, okay."
Xie Xiaoxia was not a person who was good at words. He found it strange that Zhou Chen was thinking about learning wood carving when a city man came to visit them. He couldn't make much money from this now.
Zhou Chen started to look at it again in the wood carving workshop, touching it with his hands from time to time. This was a wood carving and it was relatively strong, so there was no need to worry about it breaking if touched.
About an hour later, a man about fifty years old walked into the woodcarving workshop. When Xie Xiaoxia saw the master coming back, she immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Master."
"What's wrong?"
Xie Heshun asked strangely.
Xie Xiaoxia pointed to the house: "Master, there is a guest here. He is a foreigner living in the small courtyard. He said he wants to learn wood carving skills. He has been waiting for you here for more than an hour."
"A foreigner, want to learn wood carving?"
Xie Heshun also had a look of astonishment on his face. This was his first time encountering foreign tourists who came to learn wood carving.
"Yes, Master, he also said that he can pay the tuition. It seems that he really wants to learn."
Xie Heshun said: "I'm afraid it's just a whim. Learning wood carving is a hard job, and people in the city can't persist at all. I'll go in and have a look."
He is very aware of how hard it is to learn wood carving, and the artificial wood carving industry is in decline now. Machine carvings are everywhere. Even rural people are not willing to learn wood carving. He does not believe that a city person would be willing to come here to study hard.
Wood carving technology.
What's more, wood carving cannot be learned in a year or two, and he doesn't think city people are willing to spend this time.
