Qi Maoshun original text and reading questions

Qi Maoshun Wang Zengqi Qi Maoshun pedaling tricycle in the Wumen Museum of History.

He was not originally a pedicab, he has a craft: paste burning work, framing the roof.

A single piece of burning work, take three sedan chair, a person drumming a day, can finish the work. When he was gluing the burnt work, there were always a bunch of children around to see. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the work, and then you have to pay for it. Not only children, is passing adults also want to stop to see, and even exclaimed: "Road! Qi Maoshun heart fine hand tricky!"

If it is into the hall of the big job: three halls, pavilions, garden rockery ...... one person is too busy, you have to about two or three peers a piece of work. The rules of ordering burnt work, not to pay a fixed amount of money beforehand, by the work of the first to come up with a sum of money to advance, handing over the work of the time and then collect the money. Earlier order burned work, are old-fashioned house furniture, and then there are to paste the house, to paste the car, motorcycle ...... what people want, they can paste out. Later on, the order to burn work less and less, are emerging cremation. Who will also get a hall "car boat sedan chair" to Babaoshan to go?

The main work of Qi Maoshun is left to frame the roof. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and then you'll be able to get a new one. Beijing's bungalows pay attention to the "gray roof, flower brick floor", paper mache roof is rare - easy to break, and attract cockroaches, attract rats. The reinforced concrete buildings are even less likely to have a paper roof.

Qi Maoshun had to change his profession.

The original establishment of the Museum of the History of the Wulumuqi is very small, there are not a few staff, I do not know why, but the curator is equipped with a tricycle, to walk. Introduced, Qi Maoshun to the Museum of History to pedal tricycle. Curator surnamed Han. Han curator is a square and law-abiding people, in addition to commuting to work, to where the meeting, usually do not use the car for private matters, so Qi Maoshun's work is very easy.

Qi Maoshun love this tricycle, always scrubbed clean. At night to pedal the car home, lock, do not allow the children in the yard pedal play.

However, when neighbors ask him for something, he is always ready to help. Next door, Chen Auntie came to Qi Maoshun. "Maoshun big brother, your big brother is sick, high fever, want to trouble you to send him to the hospital, I do not know your car is not available at this moment?"

"All right, leave it to me!" Qi Maoshun sent the patient to the hospital. The first time I saw the car, I was able to see the car, and I was able to see the car, and I was able to see the car, and I was able to see the car.

Qi Maoshun is very good.

Not far from Qi Maoshun's home, there is a family surnamed Jin. He is the flag people of the royal family, is "hereditary" Baylor, line four. Neighborhood is called "gold four masters". After the Xinhai Revolution, the flag people can no longer eat royal food. Luckily, he has a good background in ancient languages, and studied Chinese medicine, Concordia Medical College asked him to proofread Chinese medicine books, he has a stable income.

Baylor House was originally a very large courtyard, and then most of them were sold to the Tongrentang Lejia when the stacking of medicinal herbs of the building, only retained the three north room. The first is that the first is the one that has been used for the first time in the past, and the second is the one that has been used for the second. He didn't like the "gray roof and brick floor", love to step on the square brick, the head is a paper roof, four white floor. Last month it rained, the roof leaked wet, collapsed a large area. Jin four master found Qi Maoshun, said: "Maoshun, you give me the roof framed."

Qi Maoshun said, "OK! Sunday."

Qi Maoshun came early Sunday morning, with his full set of tools: brown brush, brown broom, a basin of thin glue, a pile of large white paper. This large white paper is cut in the paper store, four sides, each one is the same size, not to use now cut.

Jin four masters watched Qi Maoshun do work.

He used a brown brush to miso two brushes on the large white paper, gently flicked up, with a brown broom, wrist a force, large white paper on the "hanging" on the roof. Brown broom wiped two, large white paper on the roof to stay. One by one, a large white paper pressed leek leaf width of the edge, flat and spread, square, neat and tidy. Corner with the paper are also measured with the eyes, not wide and not narrow, just right, brown broom a wipe, even a little folds are not. Moreover, the white paper used was just enough, not more than one, not less than one. Even the glue is just right to make the end, not a little spoiled. Jin four master watched Qi Maoshun's "performance", see silly, said: "Maoshun, you two really not simple, eyes, hands, how can have so accurate?"

"It is a familiar."

"Without a three years and five years, can not get to this kung fu!"

"That's true."

Jin fourth master to Qi Maoshun poured a cup of hot tea steeped two open, Qi Maoshun tasted a mouthful: "Good tea! Or Ye and Yuan's double cellar incense piece?"

"Drink used to."

Qi Maoshun took his leave.

"Maoshun, don't go, let's go to the big wine jar to drink two."

"Big wine tank? Now where to find a big wine jar to go?"

"Isn't there one in the Eight-Face Trough? They make good crispy fish."

"Master Jin Si, you are really old! The big wine tanks in Ba Mian Trough are long gone. Now it's a new storefront, selling watches and cameras. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products in the world. But Beijing, now probably can not find a dish of crispy fish!"

"The big wine jar is gone?"

"No."

Master Jin Si sipped his tea and said several times, "The big wine jar is gone. The big wine jar is no more."

It's hard to tell what his words mean.
