Chapter 13: The Greeting Ceremony

Compared with Ning Weimin, who only fills people with good sounds, Kang Shude is much more real.

As soon as I accepted this apprentice, I gave something away, and even this thing started to raise early.

The old man took out a small reddish-brown wooden box two feet long and more than a foot wide, and placed it in front of Ning Weimin, and told him with a smile.

"This box was found with the help of an old friend from the trust store. It was meant to be for you. Coincidentally, I just got it here today. It's not expensive, more than six dollars. Now that the scene is due, I have the right to meet you as a teacher. ”

Ning Weimin didn't expect this at all, and was unexpectedly moved.

"This ...... This is for me?"

He doesn't really know much about wood.

But just by the delicate copper pieces and patterns on the wooden box, you can also know that this box will be worth a few in the future.

Why? There's nothing fake these days, and it's not bad to make a box like this.

And that's not all, just as he happily touched the box and opened it to see.

I found that there was another gadget in the box.

"By the way, and this lock is also for you. ”

Kanshud reached in, took it out, and placed it on the table.

It was a small copper lock in the shape of a carp, and it was made vividly.

But the most interesting thing about this lock is not the appearance, but the key but the keyhole cannot be found.

It wasn't until Kanshud himself demonstrated that he inserted the key from a place on the back of the carp.

Ning Weimin suddenly realized.

Then he fiddled with great interest, and he didn't even care about eating wine, meat and food.

"Old man, what kind of lock is this? It's too good, if you don't teach me, I won't be able to open it. ”

But his heartfelt applause was exchanged for the old man's disdain.

"Cut, rare and weird. It's called a Douglas lock. 'Flower fancy, flag sign', you know?"

"This kind of lock has all kinds of things, not for the wonder of lock skills, only for the beauty of Seiko, folk playthings. Won't you play it once?"

"As for why I gave you this carp, just for good luck, I hope you can one day leap into the dragon gate and live a better life than me......

Ning Weimin hurriedly said something nice.

"Thank you, Master, I will definitely fight for you and not fall into your fame. ”

But the old man is not so easy to fool.

What's more, the words just now were not said for no reason.

"Don't just talk about it, just have fun. Tell you, give you these two things, the lock is not important, the focus is still on the box. Take a good look and know what kind of wood this box is made of?"

Ning Weimin realized that the old man had something to say, and quickly observed it carefully.

But after fiddling with it inside and out, he couldn't see why it was and shook his head.

Kanshud added, "Sniff." ”

Ning Weimin sniffed it carefully.

This time, I did find something abnormal, and there was a special fragrance in the box.

And just when he was surprised what it was, Master had already taken the initiative to give the answer.

"Remember, this smell is the smell of camphor wood. The advantage of this kind of wood box is that its taste can prevent insect damage and rat bites, and it can also repel mildew and moisture. ”

"So in the past, it was mostly used by women to collect dowries, also called daughter boxes. That's why I'm giving it to you. ”

"Listen, as Master, I'll teach you the first thing today. That is, don't just care about collecting things, but also pay attention to the way of preservation. ”

Ning Weimin couldn't help but be stunned.

Originally, he thought that the master wanted him to remember the camphor wood, but he didn't expect it to be still not the point.

"You mean ......"

"You don't get it yet? ”

The old man snorted a little impatiently.

"Although I can't look down on that thing, after all, you got it back with your hard-earned money, and you treat yourself as a baby pimple. So you should put it away in the most appropriate way. ”

"But what about yourself? It's so worry-free, just stuff the drawer and you're done. ”

"I said you don't want to look at the house we live in. The walls love to regurgitate, there are spiders everywhere, rats on the roof, and water drips on rainy days. "Hey, I'm waiting for the day when you'll take out your stamps from the drawer. But I found out that it was hairy, sticky scraps of paper, I see how you cry. ”

Not to mention, really.

Kang Shude's few words made Ning Weimin blush.

He hurriedly poured wine and food for the old man, which was not only a reminder from the old man Xie, but also a thoughtful thought of the old man Xie for himself.

But it didn't work.

Conjude's lesson didn't stop there.

"I don't want you to thank me, and I don't want you to be submissive, I want you to really go to your heart. ”

"I'll tell you the truth. Back then, a customer once bought a piece of Wang Shimin's landscape from me. This gentleman loves the landscape of the 'Four Kings' the most, and he is very happy, and he is in a hurry to go home when he goes out and calls a foreign car. ”

Unfortunately, because the pipe was lit in the car and he was not careful, the burning tobacco fell on the cloth that wrapped the painting scroll, and the painting was burned. ”

"Three hundred oceans, enough to buy a small courtyard at that time. On the way home, it was only three or four streets away, and a careless negligence was all over! ”

"Therefore, if you want to be my apprentice, you must remember the painful lessons of your predecessors, and never make such a low-level mistake again. Otherwise, you will say that you are my apprentice, and I will not have the face to recognize you. ”

What do you mean by a teachable child?

Ning Weimin is doing very well at the moment.

He could feel Kangshude's good intentions.

Therefore, I am not the slightest disgusted by such an admonition, and I am simply very humble.

He said again and again that the old man had taught him.

And solemnly assured the master again and again that he would never do it again.

In this way, Kangshude felt that his spit was not in vain, so he was willing to mention a few more words.

He drank the wine that Ning Weimin had just given him, and ate the dishes that Ning Weimin had put in the bowl, and then pouted with satisfaction.

"If I tell you something, it may be even more unheard, so you have to listen too. It's that there is something wrong with your words and deeds, and you have to change it. ”

"First of all, you speak in a market tone that is too heavy, it is a standard Beijing oil flavor, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. In the past, only eunuchs spoke like this. Those who really have status are disgusted and numb when they hear it. As soon as you open your mouth, it is revealed that you are from the bottom of society. ”

"The real Beijing dialect is actually Jingbai, also called official dialect. It is a kind of Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme, and it is a Chinese language that is upright and generous. You don't necessarily have to chew the words, the exit is an idiom allusion. But it should never be impoverished, ruffian, and oily. ”

"Secondly, you are too sarcastic, and there are too many witticisms. It's good to chat on a daily basis, but when you talk about business, you seem to have a lot of eyes and are frivolous. ”

"Do you know what it means to be shrewd and outward, and to be too shrewd? Honest people will not want to deal with you. People are worried about their own losses. Then everyone else is walking around you, what kind of business are you still doing?"

"You are called, the smart and exposed are thin, and the words are too prosperous. ”

It should be said that these words were never thought of by Ning Weimin.

But when he thought about it, it seemed to be the same thing again.

In his previous life, no one had taught him how to speak.

Due to the influence of the TV series, he mistakenly thought that eating and collecting this bowl of rice, the more he flickered and pretended to be Uncle Jing, the better.

As a result, the people who ate it were all flat-headed ordinary people, or young people who had just entered the industry.

There are also a few owners who are dissatisfied with one bottle and half a bottle can be frightened by him.

But there are really few high-grade characters in his social circle.

So much so that he later changed from a merchant to a businessman, and finally had his own shop in the coin card market.

The turnover is always not as good as that of a few merchants next to them.

He thought that it was because he still owed his Taoism, and big customers and old customers still needed time and luck to accumulate.

Thinking about it at this time, if he can't get it right, he is really limited by his own problems......

“...... And your demeanor, the same reason......"

Kang Shude's words are not over yet, even when Ning Weimin is pondering, they are still continuing.

"You kid, where to catch on weekdays, sit on stilts, and love to shiver when you have nothing to do. Isn't that right? It's comfortable to look at, but it's just as annoying. ”

"As the saying goes, if you don't hold the bowl with your hands, you will be poor for a lifetime, and you will shake your legs and shrug your shoulders for three generations. If you go on like this, you won't make any noble friends in this life, and you have to be shaken away by yourself. ”

"In short, when others meet you for the first time, they won't know what kind of person is in you. That's why the way you feel to others on the outside is very important. You have to pretend to be like that to make people feel that you can be relied on and willing to deal with you. ”

This is what makes people like and things in groups. If you're just content with a little fight, just mess around, that's fine, I didn't say it. But if you want to go to the top of society in the future, you can toss a little color. You have to speak well, and become standing and sitting. ”

There is no doubt that these are words that poke straight into the lung tubes.

Even Ning Weimin, who has a thick face, feels like a fire on his face.

But I have to say that these words are an enlightenment for him.

It will be of great benefit to him in the future.

Ning Weimin is really convinced, and he is convinced from the heart.

To put it bluntly, he is a fan of the authorities.

If it weren't for the old man's outstanding vision, he would have poked his faults to the bottom.

Where did he go to understand?

So after being trained to be so embarrassed, he still raised his glass on the spot and sincerely thanked the master again.

"Thank you, old man. I have taken your words to heart. I don't dare to say that this cup is for you, even if the apprentice admits punishment. I'll do another one, whatever you want. From now on, please continue to teach me bluntly. ”

"Okay, your kid's attitude is really on my mind. ”

Kang Shude liked Ning Weimin's energy very much, so he also happily picked up his wine glass.

In this way, the old and the young chatted about themselves for most of the night through a slightly humble apprenticeship banquet.

Kangshude is full of food and drink, and the conversation is unprecedentedly strong.

Ning Weimin is also feasting, and he has followed the long knowledge.

In short, the hearts of the master and apprentice are getting closer and closer.

As for what movie "Return to the Heart Like an Arrow" to watch, Ning Weimin couldn't care about it at all.
