Chapter 204 Shi Gandang
Yu Hui glanced at Xiao Tao, who was eating with a satisfied expression while holding a bowl, and knew that this person's cooking skills were really good. He asked curiously, "Then why did you change careers later?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Mao sighed, recalling his youthful days with a touch of sadness: "Back then, I was young and naive, and I disliked the fact that there were too few girls at the culinary school."
I thought learning beauty and hairdressing would mean interacting with pretty girls every day, but I ended up working in construction, and there are even fewer women now! If I'd known this would happen, I would have been better off just being a chef.
Yan Shuyi laughed and scolded, "You're spineless."
Zhang Mo: "Come, come, you've come at the right time today. Let Master Yu and Teacher Jiu'er give you an expert consultation and see when you'll find a partner?"
The blond-haired guy let out a piercing scream: "Aaaaaaah! I'm a pure love fan, I won't accept spoilers!!!"
Red Hair, mouse in one hand and a bottle of Coke in the other, said calmly, "I can predict his marriage without even needing two masters—"
He'll be single for at least 99 years.
Enraged, the blond-haired man brandished a string of half-cooked chicken feet and shouted, "If you've got the guts, don't run away after get off work!"
Red Hair: "Hehehehehehehehe."
Everyone burst into laughter.
The monsters, who had been busy for a while, were also attracted by the fragrance and came over one after another.
Li Yue casually used bricks and planks on the ground to build a 1m x 3m table in a minute.
There weren't enough plates, so I laid out two layers of disposable tablecloths, and then two layers of aluminum foil on top.
The grilled barbecue is left there for everyone to help themselves.
Zhang Mo picked up the megaphone: "Remember to wash your hands before eating."
So the employees obediently lined up to wash their hands.
After washing them, they dared to pick up the skewers, take a bite, and their eyes lit up instantly. They all gave a thumbs up and exclaimed indistinctly, "The human's cooking skills are amazing! It's so delicious!"
Huang Lanzhi was the only one who didn't eat anything. Jiu Xuan said that she only needed sunshine and water, and didn't need anything else.
This is true detachment from desires and a tranquil, serene life!
During that time, the stone ate the most, stuffing one skewer after another into his mouth, and soon a tall pile of bamboo skewers was stacked in front of him.
Seeing this, the other demons frowned and began to criticize, "Stone, you eat too much! Leave some for everyone!"
Stone scratched his head, a little embarrassed, put down the string of pearls he had just picked up, and said reluctantly, "Then... I'll go do some more work and come back to eat later."
Zhang Mo held a bottle of Wahaha AD calcium milk in her hand and asked Yu Hui next to her in a low voice, "What's the background of that guy called Shi Tou?"
Yu Hui said unhurriedly, "Him? Shi Gandang."
Red Hair, now quite knowledgeable, simply opened his browser in front of everyone and typed "Shi Gandang" into the encyclopedia.
Shi Gandang is a traditional Chinese folk belief item widely regarded as capable of warding off evil spirits, dispelling negative energy, and bringing good fortune.
This kind of religious object originated from the ancient worship of sacred stones and is closely linked to the culture of Mount Tai. In the hearts of the ancients, Mount Tai was a sacred mountain, regarded as a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged, and there was a saying that "if Mount Tai is safe, the whole world is safe."
Ancient people believed that Taishan stones possessed magical power, capable of warding off evil spirits and protecting peace. They carved the three characters "Shi Gandang" on them, which strengthened this function of warding off evil and gradually evolved into a unique folk symbol.
The most common image of Shigandang is a stone tablet. The tablet is usually rectangular and made of bluestone or granite. The tablet is engraved with the words "Shigandang" or "Taishan Shigandang". Some tablets are also decorated with Bagua patterns, lion heads holding swords and other patterns around the words to enhance their meaning of warding off evil spirits and protecting the home.
The earliest written record is found in the "Jijiuzhang" by Shi You of the Western Han Dynasty: "The master is fierce as a tiger, and Shi Gandang is invincible. The dragon is not afraid of anything."
Yan Shuyi, the inner thoughts of the red-haired and yellow-haired men—
Wow, another legendary one!
Zhang Mo thought for a moment: "If I'm not mistaken, he must be very skilled in stone carving, right?" He just sculpted a Peppa Pig that looked so much like him in one go, which shows his skill.
Yu Hui: "Of course, and the stone carvings he makes also have the function of warding off evil spirits and protecting the home."
Before Zhang Mo could speak, Yan Shuyi already understood: "Come on, let President Zhang take another look at the rendering of that stone gate."
To match the overall Chinese style, they designed a three-arched stone gate for the park. The gate is about eight meters high and twelve meters wide, making it grand and imposing.
Zhang Mo: "What was the quote the third party gave you?"
Yan Shuyi: "800,000 yuan. They said they would give away two pairs of white marble lions. But we haven't finalized the deal yet, and I also think the price is a bit too expensive."
Red Hair: "That company is indeed expensive, but there's a reason for the high price. They have the best technology in the industry, and they're fast too."
Zhang Mo thought for a moment and said, "Let's cut this out and make it ourselves."
Yan Shuyi: "Okay."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Yan Shuyi hesitated again: "But if there is only one worker, won't the construction period be extended? I'm afraid that it won't be able to coordinate with the surrounding projects."
Red Hair: "Even if 10 sculptors work together, it will still take a month to finish."
Zhang Mo wasn't sure either, so he had to call the stone back.
Zhang Mo pointed to the rendering on Hong Mao's computer screen and asked him, "Can you make this?"
Stone said confidently, "Of course."
Zhang Mo: "How long would it take you to finish if you did it alone?"
"What's the size?" Stone asked.
Red Hair: "Eight meters x twelve meters."
"I've never done this before, let me do the math." Shi Tou counted on his fingers for a while, then tentatively asked, "Three...three days?"
Zhang Mo: "......"
Yan Shuyi, Red-haired and Yellow-haired: "..."
Seeing that they were all silent, Shi Tou thought they were complaining about his low efficiency. He was eager to improve his image with his boss, so he quickly added, "Actually, it doesn't need to take that long. If you're quick, you can finish it in two days."
