There is nothing good to make a living in the village, and there are more than enough people like carpenters, masons, etc., barely skilled work, and they will also accept apprentices, and after learning the craft well, they don't have to look at the sky to eat, and the better ones are limited.

On top of this, those who will accept apprentices, and those who seem to be more advanced in technical work, are to learn some knowledge from the shopkeeper, and upgrade step by step from primary school apprentices, maybe they can also become a shopkeeper in the future. There are many such shops, crude medicine shops, jewelry shops, tailor shops, money and silver buildings... Being an apprentice inside, the wind doesn't blow or the rain doesn't get wet, and it's better than the ones who sell their crafts outside.

If you are lucky, you will have some ability in literacy and arithmetic, and maybe there will be some great blessings that countrymen can't understand in the future.

The old woman was a typical country thinker, and felt that the apprentice in this kind of shop was much better than some mason or carpenter, and after making sure that Si'er did not change his mind and must learn something, she gritted her teeth and found a relationship and sent him to a tea shop as an apprentice.

The old woman didn't think of "reading", Si'er thought, it should be too big, there are not many peasant children who are good at reading, and it seems that the education industry is not too developed here, so it is too demanding for an ignorant village woman to let her children know how to read and progress.

Being able to be an apprentice is, in their opinion, a very promising path.

Thinking about it this way, Si'er didn't resist being an apprentice, and finally he was able to come out and take a look, although it was not very far, but the town and the village, the people who came and went were different, and it could be regarded as a long insight.

It is a shame to say that so far his knowledge of the world has been limited to a corner, he knows very little, and he does not know if there are people like the old woman outside, which makes him more and more afraid to act rashly.

"What's so good about being an apprentice, he suffers hardships, and when he gets tired of it, I'll take people away, during this time, you can take care of it, don't let people bully you. ”

The old woman is not so popular in the village, but outside, there are still some old girlfriends who can talk, and the mother-in-law she got rid of is one, Mrs. Li is a matchmaker, walking the streets and alleys all the year round, and will also work part-time to deliver babies and other things, and she is quite famous in the town.

She stepped forward to help with an apprentice's errand, that is, a matter of touching up and down.

Mrs. Li looked at the kind eyebrows, and when she heard such words, the smile on the corner of her mouth was not deformed, and she responded: "I know, I know, I will not let your grandson be bullied, who doesn't know you, just such a baby bump, where can I be willing to let it out, now that the child is older, just come out to see and see, and it's not that I can't afford to raise it, what to do is to be tortured." ”

Apprenticeship is not a good business, this year to be an apprentice is to worship the master, this worship really has to give half of his life, beaten and scolded, do not give money to work in vain, it is all right, who let you learn the craft of other people's eating?

You can get out of the teacher in three years, but you can't get out of the teacher for many years, and you have to suffer under the hands of others, and the advantage of being better than your subordinates is that your life is worth more, and you won't be killed casually, and the rest is not much better.

"Isn't it, that's what I said, this kid, when he grows up, he will know that there is no good thing for him, and he will know that there is no better way to treat him, I have arranged it for him, and he will not worry about it in this life. ”

The old woman patted her thigh, talking happily, but there was a little bit of "wine to meet a confidant", and the conversation with Mrs. Li became more and more speculative, and her voice became uncontrollably louder.

Si'er was in the house, he recognized a master just now, and the other party was still next to guide everyone to recognize tea, and when he heard the noise outside, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything.

"If someone wants to say this, I don't believe it, that is, you, you have great ability, and you can arrange everything properly. It's rare to come once, go, go to my place for a drink or two, I have become a thing, and the happy wine given by others also makes you happy. ”

"That's it in the past, it's really time to drink some now, I found a child daughter-in-law for Si'er, and I want you to help me become a gift in the future." ”

The old woman responded, followed Mrs. Li, and the two of them left with a smile and a smile.

The voice was far away, and I didn't know who in the room took a breath, Si'er looked at Master Zheng, and the other party stroked the two strands of beard under his chin, coughed lightly and said, "Do you remember everything?"

There were five apprentices in total, and Silly Lala said "Remember".

There were two hesitant faces, and at this time they also opened their mouths, and they didn't dare to say that they didn't remember.

Master Zheng is not so easy to fool, one by one, pointing to the same kind of tea in the package to ask the name of the origin and asking the year, he is fast, and the person who answered subconsciously became nervous, and the unreliable knowledge was immediately revealed, and he was knocked a few times on the ass by the small bamboo board.

Two of the five people were punished, but there was no four, he answered correctly, Master Zheng was still a little surprised by this, he was going to turn a blind eye, and asked a simple question, okay, everyone was so confused.

Apprentices are not paid, and some of them have to send money here in order to be apprentices, Si'er does not belong to this kind of apprentice, so he is naturally excluded, and when he is idle, no one talks to him.

Si'er thought to herself, I'm afraid this is not the reason why the old woman deliberately said those words outside the door. If you are excluded like this, if you are a child, you really can't hold on.

Apprentices can't go home casually, they live here, they are assigned to do all kinds of chores like their buddies every day, and Si'er has been taken care of, and he doesn't do much, so he becomes more and more unpopular, and special treatment or something is always a bit hated.

That Mrs. Li really did what she said, and came to see how Si'er was doing, but she wanted to go home or something, and Si'er found that the old woman was nearby, and she hid and didn't see him, probably because she wanted to make him regret it or something.

Si'er just didn't know, after conveying his miss to his grandmother through Mrs. Li, he learned something honestly, each new world will be a little different, even if it looks at the two worlds with a high degree of similarity, some of the products are different, it is this tea, and some of it is something he has never heard of.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, this world is really a little strange, and the old woman is not alone.

That tea, there is a Taoist essential cloud tea, Master Zheng himself privately hid some, when brewing was seen by Si'er, it is indeed miraculous, the hot water slowly washed down, made of green needle-like tea leaves like a fish in the water churning, and then the steam will be like clouds and mist condensed for a moment before slowly dissipating.

The whole process is like looking at a miniature waterfall landscape, which makes people think of the sentence "Purple smoke from the sunshine incense burner" at a glance, which is really like a waterfall entering the pond and the fog becomes a cloud.

It is said that the top cloud tea will also come in a variety of colors, the best is purple, the medium one has orange and red colors, the lower one also has flying green and blue colors, and the second grade is the unequal white that Master Zheng can occasionally take out to taste.

Si'er didn't have the blessing to drink such tea, but he was fortunate to feel some differences from the fragrance of the tea, which is indeed the kind that makes people feel relaxed and happy when they smell it, not psychological comfort.

If you have such an object, and then you hear the rumors of "evil spirits" and other things in the market, you don't think it's all superstition.

Compared with the countryside, there are more rumors in the town, and the merchants passing through the town will leave some experiences on the road, and there are smart people who specialize in selling these unknown sources of knowledge and hearsay, and publicize them widely, so as to mix up some money, which can be regarded as the prototype of storytelling.

Si'er insisted on being an apprentice for half a year, and said that he could become a teacher, and he also wanted to go to the big city to see, which is called "study tour".

In the past six months, Si'er could only come back once a month, and the old woman was angry with him at first, but then she was rare with him, took the initiative to look for him, and asked Wuya to bring him something.

Wuya has gained a little weight, and she looks much more beautiful, and she is very shrewd when she follows the old man out to run business, and is praised by the old woman as a "good housekeeper", and she personally took it out a few times, and now although she is still young, she can also take charge of herself.

"What is a study tour?" Wuya was a little puzzled.

"Swim your mother's legs!" the old woman gritted her teeth with hatred, "It's really an ancestor, you caught my heart and liver, and then An Sheng came back, I don't ask you to be filial to your family, I don't ask you to glorify your ancestors, just An Ansheng is in front of my eyes, my old wife can still watch you for a few years, and this is going to run out, it really hurts my heart!"

The old woman's slap was raised several times, and she was stopped by the five girls, and then looked at Si'er, a pair of eyes stared, her face was wrinkled, and she made an angry expression at this time, it was really like a hideous Buddha statue in the temple, scared to death.

The words are rough, but the reason is there.

In ancient times, the transportation was not developed, and if one was not good, it was really a child who wanted to raise but did not wait. No matter how bad the old woman's business is, she is not sorry for the original owner at all.

"Grandma, don't be angry, I just want us to change places to live, but the number hasn't been decided yet, so I thought I would go and see first, if I can, how good it would be for us to settle down in the city, everything in the city is good, I made money, take you to the city to eat and drink, it's not better than here?—— I'm tired of eating the chickens of Wang Laowu's family." ”

When Si'er said the last sentence, she peeked at the old woman, and Wuya stood beside the old woman, still holding her arm in her hand, and when she heard this, she suddenly smiled: "I'm tired of eating, if I can taste it differently." ”

"What is greasy, it's really a good day to burn too much, his chicken is the best to eat!"

The old woman said this, and her anger eased in the end, yes, it's not that the grandson ran away alone, but that she wanted to take the whole family with her, this, it's still negotiable.

The old man, who had been watching the play for a long time on the sidelines, knocked on the cigarette pot and said: "If you want to go out, go out for a walk, don't we love to run outside when we are young, children, we are like this when we grow up, you don't worry, let's just follow, it's not that we can't move, why are you so angry?"

When the old woman heard this, she immediately became angry, but this time she was facing the old man, "You know, why didn't you say it just now?

Let the old woman scold, the old man didn't reply, and after a while, he stopped, but he could talk about how to get to the city.
