“What is ‘craftsman’s heart’?”

Long Mingyi seemed not to be talking to Lu Qian in front of him, but to have an exchange of ideas with Lu Qian's late father.

Lu Qian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if this is the 'craftsman's heart' that Mr. Long was referring to. When I was a child, I made dumplings with my father once, and he had a very serious conversation with me."

During the Spring Festival of that year, Lu Qian and his father were making dumplings together. As his father listened to the sound of firecrackers outside, he may have suddenly realized that it was the right time to tell Lu Qian something.

His father picked up a dumpling and told Lu Qian: Our ancestors have been making this dumpling for almost two thousand years. Some people like to eat it, some don't like it, some say it is good, some say it is bad, but dumplings are dumplings, and since they continue

There must be a reason. What we make are dumplings, and what we serve to our guests are dumplings. If we make them in a down-to-earth manner, and the guests eat them in a down-to-earth manner, the dumplings will not disappear.

Lu Qian's father sighed: "Maybe one day, dumplings will no longer be popular, and fashionable bread will be everywhere. We can no longer make a living by selling dumplings. Son, you must also remember that if you don't make them, you still have to make them. Pass it on to your son.

, pass it on to your grandson. This craft cannot be lost."

Lu Qian came out of his memories and said: "My father didn't have a secret recipe when making dumplings. The Lu family's secret recipe was gradually thought of by my father while making dumplings. Why is it only my father who thought of it? Because my father makes a lot of dumplings every day.

.His skills must be superb. Every piece of skin he rolls out, every filling he puts in, and every dumpling is almost the same size."

"Is this because of the '10,000 hours rule'?" Long Mingyi said: "Your father was right about the name 'Dumpling Emperor'."

"I think the 'craftsmanship' that Mr. Long mentioned should be the state of my father making dumplings." Lu Qian said yearningly: "There are no distracting thoughts in the mind. Just like martial arts novels, there are no 'dumplings' in the hands and there is no 'dumplings' in the heart."

.If there is nothing, does the dumpling still have defects?"

Long Ming was shocked.

If you don't want to do many things, you will definitely not be able to do them well. Sometimes you really want to do them, but often you won't be able to do them well.

Mr. Lu has a normal heart! Every dumpling is made with a normal heart. No more, no less, no light, no heavy, no big, no small. He treats every dumpling impartially. How can it not be delicious?

"I've learned a lesson." Long Ming raised the tea in front of him and paid tribute to the old man of the Lu family.

If a person only does one thing in his life, then he must be a master at it.

If a person only does one thing in his life and can maintain a normal mind, without laughing, getting annoyed, being happy, or feeling sad, then he is a master.

Because he only has love for this matter.

………………

The Shen sisters and Xu Chen came to the Japanese food shop that Xu Chen mentioned.

Is it expensive? After all, Xu Chen has a high income and she can afford to eat every day.

What she likes more is the chef here.

But it's not a love between men and women, but more of admiration.

After Shen Yixin and Shen Yixin tasted the sushi, they kept praising it.

"It's expensive for its own reason." Xu Chen put one in his mouth, "This chef has been learning for a long time to do this. The learning of each skill is calculated on a yearly basis. A sushi needs to be kneaded repeatedly, how can the ingredients be fully utilized?

To the extreme.”

Shen Yiren nodded, "It's indeed great."

"Every time he makes sushi, he is making a work of art." Xu Chen said, "This should be a craftsman."

Shen Yiren said: "Then I think Zeng Yang can be regarded as a craftsman. Because even if she is not feeling well, she is never idle. She has to practice every day. If she really can't get up, she will watch dance videos with her eyes. .Every move she makes looks beautiful, and behind it is the result of her hard training day and night and constant correction."

"One minute of Spring and Autumn Painting on stage, ten years of hard work off stage." Xu Chen nodded, "Having become a monk halfway, it is indeed not easy for her to achieve this level."

Shen Yixin smiled, "Me too, right? I'm so cute..."

"If you don't make people angry, you are helping." Shen Yiren sneered at her.

"Every time I go to a place, I record the local customs, anecdotes and allusions." Shen Yixin said: "Xiao Xixi said that I should publish it online so that everyone can have a reference."

Xu Chen said: "I support you very much on this point."

Xu Chen often gets ripped off when she goes out. This happens when she goes home and abroad. She spends 100 yuan to buy shells for Shen Yiren, buy high imitation commemorative coins, and takes a detour to play with things that are not fun. This is what she often does. .

"Then you do a good job." Shen Yiren said: "You are already a famous VLOG blogger! Maybe one day, you will also become famous."

Shen Yixin is happy to think about it, "Everywhere I go, people will invite me. I will stay in hotels for free, fly on planes for free, and play for free."

Shen Yiren was helpless, "I'm still playing in my mind. 'Playing with the Master'."

………………

At Lu Qian's house, he made dumplings for Long Mingyi again.

Lu Qian brought the dumplings up and said, "I have been imitating, but never surpassed."

Long Mingyi said: "You have adhered to your father's legacy very well. As long as you keep it up, you can't surpass it, and there will be your children and their children's children."

"Mr. Long is right." Lu Qian said: "In the inheritance of hundreds of years and thousands of years, there must be a master-level craftsman who has made this skill better. But the skill is not passed down only by him, but by others. There are thousands of disciples and descendants, and it depends on everyone adhering to the legacy of their ancestors and constantly honing their skills. This is the spirit of craftsmanship and the style that a great country should have."

Long Mingyi felt that there was something in Lu Qian's words.

"Mr. Long." Lu Qian said, "What do you think of me announcing the formula?"

"You want..." Long Ming had not yet turned around to Lu Qian's proposal.

"Announce the recipe." Lu Qian said: "The Dumpling King's dumplings have truly entered thousands of households."

"But..." Long Mingyi didn't know what would happen after the announcement.

Lu Qian said: "In fact, the problem is not big. People will not be able to make it just because they know the recipe. The preparation of this filling takes time and effort. Modern people are so fast-paced, they may not really be able to take the time to do it. "

"But the Dumpling King's dumplings have been passed down." Long Mingyi said, "Is that what you mean?"

"Yes." Lu Qian said: "None of my brother's or my children like to do this. Think about it, I don't blame the children. In fact, Lu Rang doesn't know how to do it, so how can we expect the children? I don't want the dumpling emperor to be lost. It cannot be carried forward even if it is of a lower level. You told me about your ingenuity today, and I was deeply impressed by it.”

Lu Qian interrupted Long Mingyi's attempt to persuade him. "When I was young, I loved watching martial arts movies. There is a saying in "Huo Yuanjia" that says, 'Throw aside the sect'. Now maybe it's time to put aside this 'secrecy' 'Yes."

Long Mingyi said: "I advise you to communicate with your family more before making a decision."

"That's what I have in mind." Lu Qian said, "Mr. Long is right, you still need to ask your family for their opinions."

Long Mingyi said: "There are many issues involved here. Because of interests, the people in Dumpling Emperor will bear the brunt of it, and your family will also oppose it."

"Mr. Long is right." Lu Qian said, "This really can't be done just by slapping your head on the head."

Long Mingyi said with admiration: "But I want to say, Mr. Lu, you have a 'selfless heart'. This is also ingenuity."
