The people on the pier are all head-to-head.Craftsmen rely on their hands, and they must have unique skills.Those with unique skills eat meat, stand brightly, and stand in the middle of the street; those who are incompetent, eat vegetarian, become listless, and stand aside.This set is not decided by anyone, it is a way of life on the dock.Those who come to sing big dramas all pay attention to breaking into Tianjin Wharf.People from Tianjin also know how to play, they have sharp eyes and sharp ears, and they can distinguish between praise and criticism.If the opera is sung well, the audience will applaud and support it, as if seeing the emperor, many famous actors will play in Tianjin to sing popular songs and become famous; It's not easy to get the tea bowl on the cradle; the tea leaves are all over the gown and beard.There is no place in Tianjin to watch operas all over the world, but it is better to shout loudly.Don't say it's not good, this will train a lot of capable people.In all walks of life, there are several living gods who are as capable as heaven.Carved Brick Liu, Clay Figurine Zhang, Kite Wei, Machine King, Brush Li and many more.People in Tianjin like to call this kind of people by their surnames together with the professions they are good at.The name is long, but no one knows the name.Only this one nickname, bang and bang on the pier.

Brush Li is a master at a construction factory in Hebei Street.Specialize in painting one line, nothing else.If he cleans up a room for you, don't put anything in the room, just sitting alone, it will be as beautiful as ascending to heaven.The most amazing thing is that he will wear all black when he brushes the mortar, and he will never have a white spot on his body after finishing his work.Don't believe it!He also set a rule for himself, as long as there are white spots on his body, no money will be charged for white spots.If he didn't have this ability, wouldn't he be starving?

But this is legend.People don't believe everything.Those outside the industry who have never seen it don't believe it, and those in the industry are angry and say they don't believe it. One day a year, Brush Li took in an apprentice named Cao Xiaosan.The beginning of being an apprentice is to serve tea, light cigarettes, and follow behind to carry things.Of course, Cao Xiaosan had heard of the master's unique skills long ago, and had always been half-believing and dubious. This time he insisted on seeing it with his own eyes. That day, I went out to work with my master for the first time, and went to Zhennan Road in the British Concession to paint Li Shanren's newly built bungalow.When he got there, Brush Li talked with the person in charge, and then he realized that the master was very powerful.According to his rule, he only paints one room a day.There are nine rooms in this western-style building, and it takes nine days to paint them.Before going to work, he unpacked a small boxy bag that he carried with him, and he was indeed dressed in black clothes and trousers, and a pair of black cloth shoes.Putting on this black body, he competed with a bucket of white pulp on the ground.

A house, a roof and four walls, paint the roof first and then the walls.The top is especially difficult to brush. With a brush dipped in yogurt, who can not drop a drop?If you drop it, it will fall on you.But when Brush Li swiped the brush, he didn't dip it in the paste.But when the brush brushes across the roof, a streak of white is immediately uniform, translucent and refreshing.Some people say that the arm dipped in pulp is swinging leisurely, leisurely swinging, accompanied by drumbeats, and the sound of the piano. Every time the brush is swung, the long brush with pulp will "snap" on the wall. , very pleasant to hear.In the crackling sound, one after another, the paste is seamlessly connected. The wall that has been brushed is really like opening a snow-white barrier evenly.But Cao Xiaosan was most concerned about whether there were any white spots on Brush Li?

There is also a rule of Brush Li Ganjo. After painting a wall, he must sit on a stool for a long time, smoke a bag of cigarettes, drink a bowl of tea, and then paint the next wall.At this moment, Cao Xiaosan took the opportunity of pouring water for the master to light a cigarette, and carefully searched the whole body of Brush Li with his eyes.After every wall was painted, he searched again, but he didn't even find a single powder spot the size of a sesame seed.He really felt that the black clothes had a kind of sacred and inviolable majesty. However, when Brush Li finished painting the last wall and sat down, Cao Xiaosan lit his cigarette, and saw a white spot the size of a soybean appearing on Brush Li's trousers.Black in white is more eye-catching than white in black.It's over!The master has revealed his secrets, he is not a god, and the mountain-like image in the legends of the past suddenly collapsed.But he was afraid of embarrassing his master, so he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to look at it, but he couldn't help but take a look.

At this time, Brush Li suddenly spoke to him: "Little San, you have seen the white spots on my trousers. You think the master's ability is fake and his reputation is deceitful, don't you? Silly boy, take a closer look—— " As he spoke, Brush Li pinched his trousers with his fingers and gently lifted them up, the white spots disappeared instantly, and when he let go, the white spots appeared again, strange!He leaned his face closer and looked again, the white dot turned out to be a small hole!I accidentally burned it while smoking.The white underpants inside were poked out with small holes, which looked exactly like the white spots from the powder slurry!

Brush Li looked at Cao Xiaosan's dazed look, and said with a smile, "You think his reputation is all vain? Then you're lying to yourself. Learn your skills!" On the first day of Cao Xiaosan's apprenticeship, what he saw and heard and learned, I am afraid that others will not understand it in his whole life!
