"Okay! I won't say much else!

This is the peace sign I carved with my own hands. It’s a small gadget. You can play with it!” After Zhang Junping finished his lecture, he took out four jade pendants and gave them to the four people as meeting gifts.

These four peace cards are the regular 461 jade cards.

461 refers to 4cm wide, 6cm high and 1cm thick. This is the most common size of jade tablets and is also divided according to the golden ratio.

In addition, there are 58 cards and random cards.

461 is the most beautiful jade card and the most precious jade card.

Jade will inevitably have cracks, but the perfect 461 jade plaque is no less valuable than mutton-fat jade.

The safety sign carved by Zhang Junping has a relief on one side, with the words "safe and sound" engraved on it, and on the other side is a poem and painting. The painting is also a relief, showing a man in a raincoat walking forward in the wind and rain, and beside him

There is a saying: You can live your whole life under the mist and rain.

Under the four big characters "Peace and Sound", there are two small characters, Li Wenjuan's is Xian Yue, Xia Guoxiang's is Xian Yun, and the Huaizhi brothers' are Xian Jin and Xian Yu respectively.

These two little characters are the characters Zhang Junping gave them. Li Wenjuan’s character is taken from Chanjuan, which means thousands of miles apart. Chanjuan refers to the moon, and Xian is the character Zhang Junping chose from his own family. The character below him is Xiansheng.

Inherit the ancestral merits.

Zhang Junping was too lazy to think about his generation, so he simply took out the virtuous characters of his next generation.

The combination is quite good, except for Zhou Mingzhi, because he considered it to be consistent with the two brothers' Huai Zhi, so he chose the word Jin Yu.

As a result, Zhou Mingzhi's nickname became Xianyu.

Yu is right, but the wrong thing is that when the two words are combined, it is easy to be confused with salted fish.

However, Zhang Junping was too lazy to change again, hoping that this young apprentice would not really become a salty fish in the future.

After the gifts were given, the apprenticeship ceremony was over. After all, this was a new era and it was the late 1970s, so it was not suitable for a large-scale apprenticeship ceremony.

At noon, Zhang Junping entertained guests at Zhiweizhai.

Zhiweizhai is the restaurant opened by Zhang Junping outside Guang'anmen.

The plaque of the restaurant was naturally inscribed and carved by Zhang Junping himself.

It is better to see the skill than to write the words and let the craftsmen carve them.

"This restaurant is my family's property, and today you are the first guests of the restaurant." Zhang Junping said to everyone with a smile.

Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang's parents were already stunned. Today's apprenticeship gave them too much shock.

First there was a courtyard with three entrances, and then there was such a big restaurant.

What kind of divine master has my daughter/son worshiped?

Originally, Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang's parents were somewhat resistant to becoming apprentices. After all, it was a new era, and they were still following the old society's ways, and they felt a little disgusted.

However, I couldn't bear my daughter/son's plea, so I had to agree.

Now, they are somewhat lucky that their daughter/son is really good at finding such a powerful master.

Compared to them, Uncle Liu was even more shocked, with mixed feelings in his heart. Who would have thought that a young man who was usually very kind to everyone and smiled all day long could actually build such a big industry quietly.

Mrs. Zhou and Tian Shumei were relatively calm. After all, they had known Zhang Junping's abilities for a long time.

People who can make tens of thousands of dollars with just a casual explanation, will their wealth be small?

"Tong Fei, are you the one who mentioned the calligraphy on this plaque? It's very good. It shows your skill. Each stroke is penetrating into the wood. The calligraphy is well written and the carving was done by a famous artist." Standing outside the restaurant, Wu Xinping looked at the plaque and commented.

road.

"Master commended me, I made this plaque myself!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, what kind of word is this!

In terms of cultural literacy, he is really in the same line as his master, Mr. Shiraishi. At that time, Qi Gong was because Mr. Shiraishi wrote random poems. He felt really embarrassed, so he gradually alienated and finally left the master and called himself a sect.

"Oh? You can also carve?" Wu Xinping asked in surprise.

"I know a little bit. I used to learn a little bit about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry, boxing, medical skills, jade carving, porcelain art, and wood art." Zhang Junping said modestly.

"I didn't expect you to be an all-rounder!" Wu Xinping was stunned for a moment before he spoke.

Wu Xinping comforted himself in his heart: This apprentice is good at everything, he just likes to brag, but his flaws do not hide his flaws.

"You can't be a generalist, you're just a mixed bag but not an expert." Zhang Junping didn't explain much and invited everyone into the restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, Zhang Junping smiled and said to everyone: "The restaurant has not officially opened to the public yet, so we are the only table today.

There are no waiters, so you four little guys can act as waiters!"

"I understand, Master!"

"Take good care of your junior brother!" Zhang Junping warned again.

"Don't worry, Master!" Li Wenjuan agreed with a smile.

After the apprenticeship was over, the next day came the seventh day of the first lunar month, the day to go to work.

Zhang Junping got up from his home early in the morning, washed up, and went out to buy breakfast.

I had breakfast with Qiu Wenyan before riding my bicycle out to work.

Art shops, commercial shops like this, are not supposed to have holidays.

This has always been the case in the past. Just like Xinhua Bookstore, there are always people on duty even during the Chinese New Year.

However, now the art shop is no longer under the jurisdiction of Xinhua Bookstore, but under the jurisdiction of the News Publishing House.

When I met Zhang Junping, a person who doesn't play by the rules, it was natural for me to take a vacation.

Not only did I have a holiday, I also took several more days off than others.

In addition, they were given so many benefits a year ago, which made them look good in front of their relatives and neighbors.

There is a saying that the Manchu and Qing aristocrats in the Forty-nine Cities often say: What makes you alive is your face.

The old BJ people were greatly influenced by the Manchu aristocrats. Many people have this concept: life is just a face.

In just one month, Zhang Junping has established a firm foothold in the painting store, and his prestige is second only to that of the old store manager Wu Xinping.

However, Wu Xinping is his master now, so it is almost as if he is telling the truth in the painting shop.

Zhang Junping received a warm welcome as soon as he arrived at the painting shop.

The ladies in the business office were so enthusiastic towards him.

Store manager Zhang shouted one by one.

"Sisters, it's your first day at work today, and we all have only one task.

That is to clean up the place and clean it well so that we can open for business." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Chief Lu went to buy the cleaning guy's business.

The painting shop was never closed before, there wasn't so much dust, and there weren't that many rags and mops." Chen Lijun reported with a smile.

"Well, not bad! Being proactive and proactive is worthy of praise." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

If you want to buy a few rags and mops, you have to wait for approval, so Zhang Junping doesn't have to do anything else.

When they got to the office on the second floor, Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang had arrived early, cleaned Zhang Junping's office, and made Zhang Junping his favorite jasmine tea.

Zhang Junping sat down on his office chair and took a sip from his tea cup. It felt so good!

In the morning, after a meal, I have a cup of strong tea. The aroma of tea fills my mouth, and my whole body feels refreshed.

"Master, what are you doing today?"

"You go down first, help with the cleaning, and establish a good relationship with them.

There probably won't be anything important in the first month of the year, so you should focus more on your homework.

I give you one year to read all the books here.

It’s not just about reading the book, you need to understand the ideas in the book and have your own opinions.” Zhang Junping casually assigned homework to the two apprentices.

As for the other two apprentices, they are just practicing calligraphy for the time being. Each of them has a regular script copybook and lets Tian Shumei and Mrs. Zhou supervise the practice.

Furthermore, Mabu needs to lay the foundation from an early age.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, nothing happened.

In addition to Zhang Junping's first day at work, he went to the art shop to report in, and then went to the Press and Publication Bureau to pay New Year's greetings to the leader.

Then he went to the Materials Bureau to pay New Year greetings to the former leaders.

The next day, I hid in the Dashilar courtyard and concentrated on making furniture.

He doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window and only concentrates on making furniture.

In fact, it's not that they really don't listen to what's going on outside the window. Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang will come over every day and report to Zhang Junping what happened in the painting shop that day.

The seventh day of the lunar month was relatively quiet.

Since the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the painting shop has been bustling with activity.

People kept coming to visit Wu Xinping all day long, and the purpose was naturally for the world tour exhibition.

At the same time, people come to the art shop every day with a lot of calligraphy and painting works for sale.

At this time, the art shop's purchase price for celebrity calligraphy and paintings had been increased a hundred times in accordance with Zhang Junping's request.

The purchase price of calligraphy and painting that originally cost a few cents or a few dollars has turned into tens or hundreds of dollars.

This gave many artists who came to sell their paintings a little more peace of mind.

Although the price is not high, it is more or less worthy of their hard work.

After all, the domestic economic situation is like this. Well-known artists can sell a painting for one hundred to several hundred yuan, which is higher than their monthly salary.
