If the master doesn’t come to the table, how can Zhang Junping, a junior, dare to come to the table?
This is the rule!
Yang Mingde comes from a traditional craftsman family and is very particular about inheritance.
It didn't matter in the past, but now that he is a serious apprentice, Zhang Junping can no longer be unruly.
"Master, what exactly is the shame you are talking about?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile as he pulled out a chair for Master.
"Alas! Xiao Pingzi, if you eat this crab of shame, you will remember the shame of today!
The majestic capital, the birthplace of Jingzhou Furniture, the origin of Jingzhou Furniture, which is known to represent the highest level of furniture!
To customize a canopy bed, you actually have to go to Suzhou! Isn't this a shame?" Yang Mingde said, slamming the table with some excitement.
"Didn't you say crab? Why is it related to the canopy bed again?" Zhang Junping was a little confused.
"well!
Chen Zengzhou took over the task of designing a bed for the presidential suite of the State Guesthouse!
He designed a canopy bed!
As a result, this old guy handed over the task of making canopy beds to Suzhou Woodware Factory!
Isn’t this looking down upon Jingzhou Furniture?
Are all the craftsmen who make furniture in Beijing dead? Can’t even make a decent canopy bed?” Yang Mingde slapped the table again, “This old guy gave the task to Suzhou and even humiliated him with a few crabs.
I!"
Zhang Junping finally understood that the crab was just the fuse.
The cause is still factionalism.
Master Yang Mingde can be said to be one of the representatives of Beijing furniture.
Making a canopy bed for the presidential suite of the State Guesthouse, such a glorious political task, actually went to Suzhou to find craftsmen from Suzhou instead of Beijing.
Even Zhang Junping felt a little disappointed after hearing this, and felt like he was being looked down upon.
After all, he can now be regarded as a descendant of Beijing-style craftsmen.
"Master, how about we get this crab and I'll buy you a roast duck!"
"Why don't you eat it? Not only do I eat it, I also eat it with rice wine! I also add shredded ginger to the rice wine!
I just want to eat this crab of shame into my stomach today!
Xiao Pingzi, you also ate it today! Remember this shame and earn back this face for Master!" Yang Mingde picked up a crab and patted it in front of Zhang Junping, saying in a deep voice.
Looking at Master's red eyes, Zhang Junping felt very uncomfortable.
I also have some opinions about Professor Chen.
There is no such thing as bullying, you just go to Suzhou to customize a canopy bed, quietly, you insist on irritating people with crabs.
"Yes! Master, don't worry, I will definitely earn back the dignity of our Beijing craftsmen from now on!
Let the whole world know that Jingzhou Furniture is the top representative of traditional furniture!" Zhang Junping solemnly promised.
"good!
eat!
Eat hard!
Remember, what you eat today is a disgrace to our Beijing-style craftsmen!
Eat it until it’s in your stomach and you won’t forget it!”
Facing the sad and angry master, what can Zhang Junping do?
Just start eating!
Follow Master's instructions and eat hard!
Hairy crabs don’t require any superb cooking skills.
Wash it clean, steam it in a pot, and it's a delicious dish.
Authentic!
Two masters and apprentices, Zhang Junping and Yang Mingde, each held a hairy crab and ate it quite boldly.
Break off the leg, put it in your mouth, crack the shell on the leg and eat the meat inside.
Lift the crab shell, tear off the crab gills, then take the belly and break it in half to reveal the crab roe inside. You don’t need any tools, just eat it directly.
While Yang Mingde was eating, he would take a sip of Huadiao from time to time.
Compared to Zhang Junping's master and apprentice's bold eating style, the master's wife is much more elegant.
Taking eight pieces of crab, first use crab scissors to cut off the eight crab legs and two large claws from back to front.
Then use tweezers to remove the meat from the crab legs.
The wife tasted the crab meat and took a sip of Huadiao.
Crab is cold in nature, so it is a perfect match when paired with Huadiao wine with shredded ginger, which warms the stomach and enhances the flavor.
There were three people at a table, two of them ate boldly and one person ate elegantly, and the scene was strangely harmonious.
However, seeing his master and his wife clinking glasses from time to time and smiling at each other, Zhang Junping felt a little redundant.
After dinner, Zhang Junping wanted to help his wife clear the dishes, but was kicked out.
I can only chat with Master.
"How is your furniture store? Is there any business today?" Only then did Yang Mingde ask about Zhang Junping's furniture store.
"Not bad, I took five orders today!"
“Invite them to your home another day!
During my years in Jiahe Village, I received a lot of care from them!" Yang Mingde didn't care much about Zhang Junping's opening of a furniture store, and just mentioned it before not continuing.
"Okay, I'll take them to your home later!" Zhang Junping nodded.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Junping said goodbye and left.
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Junping came to the furniture store again.
As for skipping classes, counselors are already used to it.
Anyway, there are three assignments per week, and as long as Zhang Junping turns them in on time, he doesn't care.
"Pingzi is here! Shall we still eat noodles?" The eldest sister was sitting in front of the furniture store, doing needlework. When she saw Zhang Junping coming, she stood up and asked.
Two little girls, Niuniu and Nini, sat obediently next to their eldest sister, holding their chins in their hands, staring blankly at the road outside.
"Yeah!" Zhang Junping nodded, then squatted down and pinched the faces of the two little girls, "Niuniu, Nini, what are you doing? Are you ignoring your uncle when he comes?"
"Uncle, we are looking at big cars!"
"Uncle, have you ever made a big car?"
"My uncle has made a big car. How about I take you to make a big car another day?"
"Okay! Uncle is so kind!"
"Hello, uncle!"
"Haha!" Zhang Junping ruffled the hair of the two little girls and reached out to pick them up. "Come on, can uncle make a big car for each of you?"
The eldest sister went in to cook for him, but he didn't feel comfortable letting the two little girls sit at the door.
The year 1982 was not a peaceful era. Even in the capital, there were many cases of child abduction and trafficking.
"Is Pingzi here?"
"Hingzi, let's start assembling the workbench now?"
Seeing Zhang Junping come in, Third Brother and the others greeted Zhang Junping one after another.
"You two, come down quickly and don't pester uncle!"
"First soak the bone glue in hot water, and we'll start after I finish eating!"
"I've already soaked it!"
Bone glue is a very traditional and widely used glue. Even in rural areas, carpenters still use bone glue.
The eldest brother-in-law and the others are no strangers to the use of bone glue.
"Okay, you can assemble it yourself!
I'm watching from the side. If you don't understand anything, I'll tell you again!" After Zhang Junping finished speaking, he put Niuniu Nini down.
"Niuniu Nini, go over there and sit down, okay? Uncle will make a big car for you?"
"good!"
"Thank you uncle!"
"So good!"
"Pingzi, let's assemble the workbench ourselves?" The third brother was a little unsure.
"Yes! I think you probably studied it a lot yesterday, right?
Try it, it doesn’t matter if you are wrong, now is New China!
If you make a mistake, you won't be beheaded!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
