Body 064 First job
As soon as they heard Xu Wen's proposal, all the apprentices in Yao's Wooden Workshop cheered up.
This group of poor children who have not been out of school, are not afraid of work, but are afraid that they will not have the opportunity to make money.
Besides, it's rare to come to Yushui County once, and if they can make more money, they can bring more things back. There are still five days, it's not that they don't want to go shopping, but they don't have the money to go shopping!
Being eagerly stared at by this group of half-sized children, the noodle shop owner muttered a little uncomfortably: "You can't do it......"
"No, don't take money, if you break something good, we lose money. ”
Xu Wen put a purse on the table and poured out the copper plate inside. It was the pocket money that Lian Tianqing gave them.
Then, one by one, the other apprentices also took out their purses and put them on the table. All brand new and new, at a glance, you know that it is carefully kept, for fear of losing and soiling.
The owner of the noodle shop looked back at them, and finally slapped the table: "Okay, anyway, I have to find someone, so I'll fix it for you! ”
Zhou Zhicheng looked at Xu Wen's actions in surprise, and did not speak or stop. At this time, he suddenly laughed and took the initiative to negotiate the price with the boss.
There are three main types of wooden furniture in the store, benches, single square stools, and tables.
In the end, it was agreed that the table had five copper plates, a bench with three copper plates, and a square bench with two five copper plates.
If you don't repair it well, you don't need money, but if you break it, you will lose money.
The deliberations were all done, and the noodles were all ready.
The apprentices picked up their bowls, ate as fast as they could, took out the tools they had with them, and began to examine the stools under their buttocks.
They were still yawning before eating, but now they are in good spirits and not sleepy at all.
It didn't take long for them to check and count, and most of the tables and stools in the store were defective, along with the spare ones in the back, there were five tables to be repaired, eight benches, and twelve square stools.
The owner of the noodle shop followed up and confirmed it, and waved his hand very simply: "Okay, it's decided!"
"The boss is atmospheric!" Lu Cheng's mouth was sweet and flattering.
The boss was amused by him, yawned and said, "You guys fix it first, I'll go to sleep for a while, and I'll get it ready before tomorrow morning, and I'll open a store!"
"Don't worry, we understand!" Lu Cheng nodded and sent the boss away, and when he came back, everyone laughed, "Sycophant." ”
"You don't understand, if you serve the master's family well, the master's family will be happy, and there will be a steady stream of life in the future!" Lu Cheng said confidently.
"Makes sense. Xu Wen wanted to laugh a little, but he was also a little surprised. If Lu Cheng can think like this, he has the potential to be a successful businessman.
With Xu Wen's support, Lu Cheng immediately swelled and glanced at them triumphantly.
The apprentices of the old woodyard worked all night.
Repairing an old table and stool is not the same as making a new one.
To make something new is to make something out of nothing, and all ideas are your own.
This is not the case with repairs.
This table and stool was made by someone else, what techniques he used, where the damage was, and what methods should be used to solve it, all of which need to be investigated in advance and conclusions drawn in advance.
However, whether you are new or repaired, you need to understand the structure of the object being repaired and know how it was made.
This is also the main reason why Lian Tianqing is obviously good at restoration, but he has to teach Xu Wen to make it from scratch.
It's just a small noodle restaurant, and of course the things in it are the simplest and cheapest.
There are no complicated structures or patterns in these tables and stools, and the materials used to repair them are nothing more than the remains of other tables and stools......
The noodle restaurant consumes these things very much, and there are a lot of discarded tables and stools piled up behind the owner's store, which are basically the kind that cannot be repaired, and can be disassembled and used casually.
Xu Wen and the apprentices in the old wooden yard quickly found out the cause of the damage to these tables and stools, and began to repair them one by one.
There were a total of twenty-two of them here, and as soon as the results came out, some people rushed to do it, so that Xu Wen didn't have a chance to do it.
This is the first time these apprentices have been offered a job opportunity, and they can still earn some money, which they cherish very much, and they are not sleepy at all. Moreover, watching the tattered tables and stools become strong and firm again under their hands, their hearts are full of a sense of accomplishment, and after repairing these more than 20 tables and stools, they checked the other ones that are not broken.
"Yes, yes, give the main family a little bit of a head, the main family is happy, and the business will last for a long time!"
Lu Cheng talked about the business experience he had deduced by himself again, Xu Wen smiled, and the other apprentices around him also laughed.
More than 20 people work together, but it doesn't take too long. Before twelve o'clock, the tables and chairs of the entire noodle restaurant took on a new look and completely changed.
"It's a pity, but if you put it on again, it will look even better. Lu Cheng smacked his mouth and said with some regret.
"If the paint is dry, this table and stool will not be able to be used immediately, delaying business. And the color of the log is also very beautiful, which is interesting. Zhou Zhicheng said while touching the desktop lovingly, as if he was feeling the texture of the wood.
When everyone was busy going out just now, he also followed for a long time, and he didn't have a senior brother's frame at all.
At this time, his eyes were very focused on the wooden table, full of different feelings.
Xu Wen lowered his eyelashes and glanced at his hand. He habitually pinned his hand inside, unable to see the mutilation. But the mutilation is always there, never going away.
Zhou Zhicheng looked away and looked at these little junior brothers: "It's not too early, go back to sleep first, and I'll leave the matter here." ”
The apprentices were accustomed to being obedient, and when they heard Zhou Zhicheng say this, they all agreed, and turned around to go out.
Xu Wen didn't move, but asked, "Senior brother, are you going to wait here?"
"I'll send you back first, where you'll be staying for the next five days, and then I'll come back. Zhou Zhicheng said.
"Senior brother, aren't you sleeping?" the other apprentices also felt that something was wrong.
"Haha, you guys took the test for a day, and I played outside for a day, and I was in good spirits. Go and rest, and I'll do the rest. The events of this day made Zhou Zhicheng feel very good, he said with a smile.
The juniors couldn't resist him, and he forcibly took him out of here.
Zhou Zhicheng took them to a small courtyard in the west of the city, and lowered his voice before he got close: "It's too late, be quiet." This is the residence of a master, and when he heard that we had nowhere to stay, he promised us to stay at his house for a few days. The master has good intentions, you must remember, be careful not to damage other people's things, and come forward to help if you have a job. ”
He earnestly taught the teenagers how to behave outside, and the juniors nodded nervously. Zhou Zhicheng was a little funny when he saw them like this, and comforted them and said, "Don't be afraid, the master is very kind." ”
A group of people crept in from the corner door, Zhou Zhicheng knocked on the door, and the middle-aged porter came out yawning and glanced at them.
Zhou Zhicheng was about to explain why they came back so late when the uncle opened the door and let them in.
"I'm tired, come in and rest!" the uncle said with a smile.
The apprentices' hearts fell back to their original places at once, and they whispered thanks as they walked in quickly.
The master craftsman's house is not very large, more than 20 people live in two rooms, all of which are large bunks, which is a bit crowded to live in.
But everyone knows that it is not easy to have such a place to settle in the water, not to mention the words of the uncle just now that everyone is warm in their hearts.
They whispered a few words, then became sleepy again, and fell asleep after a while.
Zhou Zhicheng watched them fall asleep and tiptoed out.
Although he slept late on the first day, Xu Wen's body had already developed a habit, and he opened his eyes as soon as the chicken in the distance crowed.
He wiped his face and sat up, and the brothers around him were still sleeping soundly, and the snoring sounds were mixed together.
Xu Wen cautiously got out of bed, walked to the courtyard outside, and stretched.
The sky has just been covered with a line of fish belly white, and the wind with the moisture of autumn dew blows on the skin, which is very pleasant.
"Autumn is coming. ”
Xu Wen remembered that when he first came here, it was also such an autumn, and in a blink of an eye, a serious year had passed.
A year wasn't long, but it was enough for him to get to know some people and remember what it was like to be in the air.
Xu Wen took a deep breath and slowly spit it out again.
Then, he began to play a particularly strange set of punches.
