Xu San is Master Lian's apprentice and has been following Master for three years.

So, he can do a little more in-depth work, such as removing the paint and all kinds of dirt from the wood, and doing some preliminary treatment on them.

He has a total of seven children, and he is the third. His father and mother found him such a job, as long as he became a teacher, he could eat anything.

He knows this very well and has always been very serious.

On this day, he was immersed in his work, and suddenly heard the master's voice: "The third child." ”

He looked up blankly and saw that the master was frowning and looking at the other side: "You go over and see what your senior sister and the new kid are doing in the library." ”

Xu Wen answered, stood up obediently, and then slowly realized what was going on.

Of course, he knew that the new kid was the one who brought him into the door yesterday, and his surname was Xu, and it was his own family.

This kid is a bit wooden, and he didn't know how to ask Master for advice after spending a day here yesterday. Obviously Master is so easy-going, as long as you ask, he will teach you.

Since he came here today, he has been muttering to the little senior sister, looking very happy.

Xu San was still thinking at that time that his senior sister was still a child, and she could still play with her peers.

Therefore, the master did not speak, and the brothers and sisters did not pay attention to it.

Then he didn't notice. Now it sounds like the two of them went into the warehouse and didn't come out for a long time?

How can this work?

There is a difference between men and women, even if the two of them are still children, Master doesn't care too much about this, so he can't do this......

Xu San strengthened his steps, and as soon as he walked to the door of the warehouse, he heard a voice from inside.

One is giving orders, the other is constantly responding.

He paused, a little surprised.

Just these two sentences, he has already heard it, it is Xu Wen who gives orders, and it is his little sister Lian Linlin who keeps responding!

"Triangle at three o'clock in January. Xu asked.

"Okay, it's done!" Lian Linlin said briskly.

"Five stars at four o'clock in January. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"Cross at two o'clock in February. ”

"Alright. ”

The two of them should be in harmony with each other, and the speed was very fast, Xu San listened to the window for a long time, and he couldn't hear anything at all.

But I can hear that they are cooperating with something, there is nothing ambiguous, Xu San is finally relieved.

"What are you doing?" he asked, walking in.

"Senior Brother Junior!" Lian Linlin turned his head, saw that it was him, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu is so smart, he has thought of a way to re-count the goods in the warehouse, and then we won't have so much trouble delivering the goods!"

Even Lin Lin is not very old, and he has already become a senior sister when he enters the door, Xu San and they have long been used to it.

"How?" he asked curiously.

"It is to label each piece of wood with a wooden plaque and place it in the order in which it was labeled. He said that it would be better to make a wooden frame, put things on the wooden frame, and put a sign next to each shelf to make a list, so that it would be more convenient!" Lian Lin Lin did not hide it, he put it all out, and looked at Xu Wen's eyes shining.

"But he was so stupid that he asked me if I had a pen and paper at first. Hey, by the way, Xiao Xu, you mean you learned to write?"

Lian Linlin was indeed excited, giggling. Xu Wen was holding a piece of strange-shaped wood, frowning and pondering something, and turned his head when he heard the words: "I can recognize a few words, but I don't know how to write." ”

"Literacy!" At this time, maybe San's eyes lit up a little.

"I can only barely recognize it, and I don't have a lot of pen and drawing when I write, and it's not very presentable. Xu Wen emphasized a little embarrassedly.

"You're too powerful, aren't you!" even Lin Lin looked at him with admiration.

"Hmm...... Do you want to learn? I can teach you if you want to. So is Senior Brother Xu. Xu asked.

"Is it okay!" the senior sister and brother said in unison, and after receiving Xu Wen's affirmative answer, the two looked at each other and grinned at the same time.

When Xu Wen mentioned the pen and paper, even Lin Lin immediately looked at him with a strange expression, and he realized that he had made a mistake at that time.

In this era, reading and writing is the privilege of a few, and craftsmen like them cannot have such opportunities.

He studied calligraphy for two years as a child and probably knew how to hold a brush. After so many years, traditional Chinese characters can only be read and written, but in front of these young people who have never had a chance, it is enough to show off their skills.

Lian Linlin and Xu San were happy for a while, Xu San suddenly remembered something, and said a little embarrassed: "By the way, I heard that learning to read and write has to be disciplined, and I ...... it."

Xu San is still an apprentice, and the apprentice only covers food and accommodation and does not pay wages, so of course he has no money for Shu Xiu.

Xu Wen smiled and waved his hand: "The little master taught me to recognize wood and wood, and I taught you to recognize words. ”

"That's right, I'll teach you well!" Lian Lin Lin immediately relaxed and said with a smile, "But in this case, you don't have to call me little master, you can still call me little senior sister!"

After agreeing on a time to teach literacy, the atmosphere between the three of them became very relaxed.

Xu San finally picked up a wooden plaque and looked carefully at what was engraved on it.

The old wood yard has wood, this piece is pine, two inches long, five minutes wide, originally piled up in the corner, but was used by Lian Linlin for waste.

The wood was cut so flat that Lin Lin carved some marks on it, a triangle with a curved moon and two small dots next to it.

"The triangle is ironwood. The more moons, the bigger the wood. The dots refer to the first few items in the same shipment. Lian Linlin explained to him.

Xu San thought about it a little and knew the benefits of such a classification.

By arranging the wood in this order, they not only know better, but it is also easy to find.

"If you have pen and paper, you can also make an account book, so that it will be clearer. Xu Wen said with some regret.

"You still make account books? I thought only the account office could do these things, you are amazing. Xu San said admiringly.

This is the biggest difference between ancient and modern times.

They were able to discern the tattered wood without the aid of any tools, relying solely on their own experience and a pair of naked eyes, and they were extremely sophisticated in their profession.

But in terms of the breadth of knowledge, they are far inferior to modern people who have been baptized by massive amounts of information.

Xu Wen had only been exposed to a little bit of warehousing knowledge in his previous work, and now he only took out a part of it, which was enough to make Xu San surprised and envious.

"It's okay, I'll go to my dad and ask him to help! Such a big warehouse, we'll tidy it all up!" Lian Linlin said with a lot of ambition.

I don't know what Lian Linlin said to Master Lian, and even the master looked at him with a wonderful and unpredictable gaze for the rest of the day.

However, he didn't call Xu Wen over for questioning, and Xu Wen acted as if he hadn't seen it, and did his own thing.

Xu San's mouth was very tight, and only the four people of the Lian family, Xu San and Xu Wen knew about this matter, so that Senior Brother Zhou inquired about Xu Wen's situation as usual, and shook his head helplessly at Master Yao after going back.

"Maybe I'm really looking away. This kid ...... stayed with the two of them all day, and didn't do anything serious.

Master Yao's expression was indifferent, and he also said with some regret: "After the evaluation is over in two days, let's send him back." ”

"Yes. Senior Brother Zhou sighed and nodded.

That night, Lu Cheng didn't know what he heard, so he came to look for him after eating.

"I heard a message, I don't know if you've heard it. He pretended to be unfathomable, but he was too young, and this gesture only felt a little funny in Xu Wen's eyes.

"What?"

"At the end of every month, Yao's Wood Mill will have an evaluation summary. There are also yellow character shops, and each wood yard competes with each other, and finally ranks. Those who are at the bottom of the rankings will have to give way to salute if they meet the top on the road in the next month!"

"Every month?"

"Yes!"

Xu Wen did hear about this for the first time, he was a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he was a little admired.

Give way and salute, which is equivalent to raising status in dignity. Such a rule does not cost anything, but it is also a good way to mobilize the enthusiasm of craftsmen.

"End of ...... month"

"It's two days away! How's that, are you Kiba ready?"

"There was no movement at all. ”

"I know, master, brother is not in a hurry, you can't help but take it to heart. If you perform well in the evaluation, maybe the master will take a fancy to you!"

Lu Cheng hated the appearance of iron not being steel, Xu Wen listened, but raised his head and asked, "Why did you come to tell me?

Lu Cheng didn't seem to expect him to ask this sentence, his eyes drifted for a while, and finally said: "Everyone is a fellow disciple who came in together, how could I step on you up?" I saw that you were careless, remind you!"

With a feigned indignation, he turned to leave.

Whatever his intentions, the information he provided was certainly helpful. Xu Wen grabbed him and said a few good words, Lu Cheng was finally satisfied, and told Xu Wen a few more words, and turned around to leave.

At this time, a delicate and crisp voice sounded not far from them: "Xu Xiaowen?"

"Little Senior Sister, why are you here?" Xu Wen looked up, saw Lian Linlin, and said with some surprise.

"Have you forgotten what we agreed upon?" Lian Linlin pouted dissatisfiedly and glared at Xu Qian.

In the twilight, the girl's cheeks were reflected in the afterglow, as delicate as a bud that had not yet bloomed.

"How could I forget, but I didn't expect it to start today. Xu Wen said with a smile.

"Of course, the sooner the better!" said Lian Linlin.

"Alright then, you wait for me to prepare. Xu asked.

He turned around and was about to go back to the house, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Cheng's dull face, staring at Lian Linlin tightly.

After being called out by Xu Wen, he came back to his senses, grabbed him and asked, "Who is this?"

"Miss Lian is the daughter of Master Lian of the old Kiba, and now she is my senior sister. Xu Wen introduced it slightly.

"It turned out to be her...... Lu Cheng's expression was very unkind, he glared at Xu Wen fiercely, and said angrily, "When I didn't come today!"
