Chapter 408 A piece of mind(2/5)

Even if it was Li Xuewu who did it and talked about it in an outline and to the point, he still talked for more than an hour.

None of the leaders on the stage, including Gao Zhen, found it boring. Instead, they listened, took notes, and thought about what Li Xuewu shared.

The people below all take notes when they see the branch leaders. What are they so awesome about?

At the beginning, it was inevitable that some people would look down upon Li Xuewu's youth.

Although no one dared to embarrass Li Xuewu in public after what happened at the enamel factory, he did not prevent small talk in private.

But today I actually sat down and started listening, but the more I listened, the more frightened I became.

This guy definitely didn't live up to his reputation, he really has two brushes in his hands.

Not only Li Xuewu but also Zhao Youkuan had two brushes in his hand.

Yesterday when I got home, the old man was bored in his room repeating the craft he had been doing all his life.

Even his great-grandson didn't look at it. When his grandson Zhao Zi came to ask, he didn't dare to say anything. He only said that he had a big job.

This is definitely a big job, and he might not be able to send him away on his own.

Last night, I pondered over and over again in my mind how to program that wording.

When Lao Biaozi picked him up this morning, Zhao Youkuan was still frowning.

The look of bitterness and hatred made Lao Biaozi think how big this old guy was.

It turned out that Pu'er was quite big, but after being dug into the trap by Li Xuewu, it became useless.

Lao Biaozi obeyed Li Xuewu's instructions not to ask what he shouldn't ask and not to say what he shouldn't say.

At this moment, Master Zhao asked him to move whatever he wanted, and it turned into a gourd with its mouth cut off.

Zhao Youkuan looked at the driver, and when he thought of Li Xuewu's identity, he felt that people with such an identity were not usually strict with their mouths.

Okay, these two people also guessed at each other, and they both guessed wrong.

When the car entered the west courtyard, Lao Biaozi followed the second master and Yu Li to bring this whole thing to the backyard.

People in the courtyard thought that Li Xuewu's family had hired a paper decorator to paste the ceiling.

No one cared. At most, they muttered Li Xuewu and Jingui a few times in their hearts.

This paper-pasting craftsman is an old trader. He is a craftsman who paints roofs, window lattice, door lintels, etc. for others every spring and autumn.

It is not seen in the south, but is more popular in Beijing, Tianjin, northern Hebei, Northeast and other regions.

Most of the private houses in the Beijing area are old-fashioned courtyard houses with tiled roofs. The indoor ceilings need to be tied with straw and pasted with plain paper or colored paper.

Of course, if the wall is not plastered with whitewash, you can also plaster it.

As a side note, these craftsmen also work part-time making paper horses and paper, just for free.

However, superstition is not allowed at this time, so no one dares to do this.

The aunt was standing in the yard, holding a broom and sweeping the door, when she saw a few people moving things behind.

She is not annoying and won't ask anything if she sees it.

But he was muttering in his heart, Li Xuewu in this backyard is really good at finding people.

Nowadays, who can do the work without a young man who can do the job quickly?

I found an old man here, who can climb up the ladder!

Zhao Youkuan still behaves like a master, but he didn't expect that in this courtyard, he would just touch the ceiling.

The master entered the backyard and saw the driver wink and go out. Only the second master and the young woman he met yesterday were left.

"Come on, work will start today"

Zhao Youkuan was led by Yu Li to wash his hands, and then he used the tools he brought to help Yu Li get some clean water.

"Second Master, we have made an agreement."

Zhao Youkuan told Mr. Ye seriously: "Don't reach out when I'm working. Just look at it and forget about it. This is a craft that is passed down from male to female."

"hehe"

Second Master Ye curled his lips and said: "Don't take advantage of me, just do what you have to do."

"You think it's rare for me to learn from you? I'll show you my skills later."

"Hey!"

Although Zhao Youkuan has good craftsmanship, he does not have the demeanor of a master at all.

It is impossible to live till now.

"In those days, our craftsmanship was popular in Liulichang from one end to the other. Whose shopkeeper didn't beg for us?"

"A good man should never mention his former bravery"

Mr. Ye moved the armchair aside and raised his hand to indicate the prepared table.

"Our era has passed. It's God's mercy that you can take another bite of this bowl of rice."

"Oh~ too!"

Zhao Youkuan also knew his own family affairs.

He sighed and said: "If you kick me out, I will know that I am a useless snack, haha."

Ye Erye glanced at this old acquaintance, motioned to Yu Li to get the calligraphy, and then told Yu Li to make tea.

This was the earlier etiquette for asking craftsmen to work.

Even if the Liu Yong family hires people to garden, they always need good tea bowls and good tea leaves.

After the explanation, the second master said to Zhao Youkuan: "I have lived for most of my life, and there are still a few days where I can jump around, so live well."

“Haha, I’m not willing to give in.”

Zhao Youkuan motioned to Yu Li to put the calligraphy on the table, then picked up the calligraphy and looked at it again.

"I learned art when I was twelve years old, and the master was my uncle. It can be said that he taught me everything he had."

Thinking of the past, Zhao Youkuan was filled with emotion.

"This was something you couldn't learn even by kowtowing to your godfather at that time. It's my skill of raising a whole family!"

"Haha, at this age, I have become useless and useless!"

Zhao Youkuan shook his hands, measured the size of the words in his hands, and began to prepare the materials.

According to what Li Xuewu said, all the good materials he collected were used.

He originally planned to make it a family heirloom.

"That's it, my grandson doesn't want to learn anymore, let alone his great-grandson. It's up to me!"

The second master squinted his eyes and basked in the sun, listening to Zhao Youkuan's chatter without saying a word.

He knew that Zhao Youkuan had more than one son, and some of them had learned this craft.

But now that there is only one grandson around, something must have happened.

Who didn’t have any changes in that era?

Not asking is the best comfort.

Zhao Youkuan talked to the second master for a while and felt much better, and the knife in his hand became more stable.

He is also nervous and talks easily when he is nervous.

It was an early rule to say that a man should pass on a man but not a daughter. There is no such thing anymore. It's just a joke with the second master.

So now Yu Li stood by the kang and looked at Zhao Youkuan without saying anything.

Yu Li, on the other hand, watched Zhao Youkuan do the experiment while soaking the paper with water and did not say anything. Li Xuewu said that professional matters should be left to professionals.

Just like Gao Zhen and Zheng Fuhua trust Li Xuewu.

At this time, Li Xuewu finished speaking, and Gao Zhen made his final concluding remarks.

After emphasizing Zheng Fuhua's views and commenting on Li Xuewu's lecture, Gao Zhen reported the branch's application to superiors for the establishment of a security brigade.

There were rumors before that the branch was going to make big moves, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Especially when Gao Zhen announced that General Li Xuewu would be the first captain of the Public Security Brigade, the eyes of the cadres below jumped even more.

It was a deputy division-level unit when it was first established. If it grows up and achieves actual results, then...

No one in the audience was concerned about Li Xuewu's youth anymore, especially when they thought about Li Xuewu's previous publicity.

After the meeting, Li Xuewu did not stand still and followed Gao Zhen and Zheng Fuhua to receive the visit led by Captain Qi.

Both sides were accompanied by relevant persons in charge. Li Xuewu saw that Deputy Political Commissar Zhao Zhenhua and Staff Officer Zhang Chenggong, who were meeting with him that day, were also there.

The bureau office arranged the meeting in the conference room on the third floor. People on both sides shook hands and exchanged greetings before getting straight to the topic.

When introducing each other, Zheng Fuhua introduced the head of the security brigade to Captain Qi.

Li Xuewu nodded politely and smiled.
