NFBE Chapter 435 Pikachu Woodcarving
Chapter 435 Pikachu Woodcarving
While waiting for the meal, Xiaoru thought of Li Liang who came two days ago. "That guy named Li Liang really hasn't come to cause trouble these days."
"Don't worry about him. If he really dares to come, let him know why the flowers are so red." Su Yunshu was thinking about how to deal with Li Liang.
Bars are already crowded with people, so it's normal to have a few people with bad intentions, but it's abnormal to collude with gangsters. When they fail to strike up a conversation, they let the gangsters intercept them. It's really tasteless and despicable.
"You are really awesome, Yunshu. I have been thinking about signing up for a class to learn some skills."
After the previous trip to the ancient city, Xiaoru had the idea of learning martial arts. Su Yunshu was so cool when fighting.
Her eyes were cold as ice, her hair fluttered in the wind, and every movement was clean and neat, showing the perfect combination of strength and beauty.
The fists were as fast as lightning, and each strike carried endless power, which made people marvel.
With a nimble posture and quick movements, he easily avoided the opponent's attacks.
Every counterattack was precise and powerful, leaving the opponent with no chance to fight back.
"Sure, but learning martial arts is very hard, you have to be mentally prepared." Su Yunshu reminded.
Su Yunshu would definitely not stop Xiaoru from learning more. As a girl, she should always protect herself when she goes out.
"I get it. I'm not afraid no matter how hard or tiring it is." Xiaoru looked determined. All she could think of was herself learning kung fu and killing everyone.
At this time, the waiter brought the food and the two ate and chatted.
"By the way, Yunshu, you just said you wanted to deal with Li Liang. How do you plan to do it?" Xiaoru asked curiously.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I will definitely not let him have an easy time." Su Yunshu was thinking about how to make Li Liang suffer.
After finishing their meal, Xiaoru and Su Yunshu left the restaurant. As they walked along the road, Xiaoru was thinking about learning martial arts, while Su Yunshu was thinking about how to deal with Li Liang.
As she was walking, Xiaoru suddenly saw a group of people gathered in front of her, seemingly watching something exciting.
She pulled Su Yunshu and squeezed in, and found that it was a wood carving stall with lifelike little animals and various cartoon characters on display.
"It's quite up-to-date." Xiaoru thought that wood carving masters could only carve gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters, but she didn't expect there would be two-dimensional characters.
"We have to keep up with the times. Not many people pay attention to these things now. If we don't keep up with the times, fewer and fewer people will mention them."
Su Yunshu felt sorry for these traditional craftsmen. These wood carvings were lifelike, and even the two-dimensional characters seemed to come alive, which showed how much hard work they put in.
Xiaoru picked up a wood sculpture and looked at it carefully. She was attracted by a wood sculpture of Pikachu. Its chubby body and round face with a cute smile made people want to touch it.
"This Pikachu is so cute!" Xiaoru exclaimed.
"Buy one if you like it." Su Yunshu said with a smile.
Xiaoru was a little hesitant, as she felt that the wood carving was a bit expensive.
The stall owner smiled and had calluses on his hands. "These wood carvings are all carved by me, not from an assembly line. If you have a favorite person or animal, I can carve it here."
Su Yunshu looked at the stall owner's gray hair and paid without saying a word, then handed the Pikachu to Xiaoru.
"No need, just this Pikachu will do. Your craftsmanship is really good, it looks so lifelike."
"Thank you Yunshu!" Xiaoru said happily.
When the stall owner heard the sound of money being credited, the smile on his face grew even bigger.
It is not easy to do business these days. Manual labor is gradually being replaced by mechanization, and the finished wood carvings on the assembly line are cheap, squeezing out craftsmen like them, leaving them with almost no room to survive.
Xiaoru held the Pikachu carefully, fearing that she might damage it. After saying goodbye to the stall owner, the two continued to move forward.
"You can't deny that the hand-carved ones are different from the mechanical ones. They look more lifelike and feel smooth, unlike the mechanically produced ones, which feel rough and can be easily scratched if you are not careful."
Xiaoru likes these cute things. Her family has also bought a lot of wood carvings, but they are all produced mechanically and lack some spirituality.
Su Yunshu didn't have any special hobbies. He didn't have enough time to study every day and rarely watched TV, let alone anime and cartoons.
