Chapter 36

The kid who was stopped was already doing these errand jobs, and he had nothing to do with the steward's orders.

He made a careful note and hurried towards the back kitchen of the outer courtyard.

When he saw that the little guy was gone, the steward Sun copied his hand and leaned back again.

Hearing this, Steward Li, who was sitting and drinking tea, shook his head: "These workers work hard, and you will send it away with a lunch?"

"The reason why these people work so hard is all due to that kid. ”

"I look like a good boy, don't you plan to give it a boost?"

Hearing what his old friend on the side said, Steward Sun turned his gaze back to Shao Manchu.

He looked at the thin and thin figure of the young man, and slowly shook his head: "Don't worry, let's see." ”

Seeing this, Li was in charge of affairs and said no more.

When it comes to looking at people and employing people, he is much worse than this somewhat eccentric old friend.

He just saw the young man, young but polite, and he had some thoughts of helping.

As for what will happen next, it will depend on his creation.

The old man didn't speak, and Steward Sun didn't say anything.

He paused here for a moment and went about his business.

After the craftsmen who arrived at the venue had finished processing the two large ingredients, the day had reached its highest, and it was time for the master to take a breath.

Although they work hard in order to fight for a breath.

But as they deserve, these old craftsmen will never give up.

It's just that after a morning's work, one or two people who can take the lead automatically appear in this group.

As soon as the leader was guided, the big guys all returned to the shed on the edge of the material yard, untied their blankets, fanned the wind, squatted on the spot, and began to rest.

When the carpenters lined up and sat down on the spot, they forgot to greet someone, and the youngest young man was left in the room.

Everyone looked at each other, slightly embarrassed, but the person who took the lead faintly shouted towards the workshop: "That boy, come, the morning's work time is up, come to the shed to rest." ”

Shao Manchu, who was calling, stopped his hand, raised his head, grinned his big white teeth, and smiled: "Thank you, uncle, I'm coming." ”

After speaking, he put away the animal skins that he had used to polish in his hands, carried a bag of tools, and ran to the shed.

Shao Manchu, who entered the shed, was not polite, he looked at the uncle who greeted him, there happened to be a small position beside him, so he shrank and squatted next to the leader.

Surprised, a few craftsmen next to him subconsciously moved their buttocks, and actually gave Shao Manchu a big gap.

Is this kid really stupid or fake?

How they squeezed him in the early days had all been forgotten by this time.

But some people who sat next to them and understood clearly understood that they sighed twice, picked up the bowl of catechu on the small table, and walked leisurely to the kitchen in the inner courtyard where the steward went to eat.

This kid has a good heart and a smart brain, so I don't need to worry about him.

No, when the stewards in the field were scattered, and the backyard handymen carried the workers' food to the bottom of the sheds built in various places in the garden, Shao Manchu, who would be clever and clever, had already mingled with this group of old carpenters.

"Where, where, how can our craftsmanship be as amazing as you say......"

"I see that your basic skills are also good. ”

"By the way, which master are you following? Tell me and listen, all the carpenters who have worked hard in these ten miles and eight towns are here, maybe they are people we know. ”

Hearing this, the smile on Shao Manchu's face gradually disappeared, and a sad atmosphere enveloped him, and he lowered his eyes and returned slowly.

"I learned the craft from my father, my father's surname is Shao, and he was originally a carpenter in Qiu Village. ”

As soon as he said this, most of the craftsmen in this group showed a sudden expression.

It turned out to be the Shao family, because when the craftsmen were doing a lot of work, they had some contact, and several carpenters who lived around Qiu Village had heard about the Shao family.

It turned out that this was the son of Carpenter Shao who was once full of praise.

If he is still alive, just look at the work under this child's hands, and it will not be long before he can work.

This Shao family can also be regarded as a successor.

Thinking of this, there were a few kind-hearted people who were not too forbearing, and took the initiative to speak with relief: "Look at your current work, you only need to guide for another month, teach how to deal with the details, and you will be able to become a teacher." ”

"It's better for you to find another master and worship under his door, and it won't be in vain that you have spent three years learning from your father. ”

"yes, yes!"

Everyone thought that this idea was good and responded one after another, but Shao Manchu shook his head and rejected everyone's kindness.

"No, it's not that I don't like to learn, it's that I really don't have time. ”

He pointed to the location of the inner courtyard of the first family and said: "My father signed a three-year work contract with the owner, and I still have two and a half years to pay it off." ”

"Therefore, if this work is not done by the carpenter today, it will be done in other places. ”

"I'm different from you skilled craftsmen, my salary is paid daily. ”

"I'm not going to go with the money contracted for this project. ”

What he said made the craftsmen around Shao Manchu stunned.

Hearing that this kid was actually working with their group in vain, he didn't even have the last bit of awkwardness in his heart, only ironing remained.

Working and not paying for it, how can such a child not be painful?

Just when everyone softened, the lunch was also carried over.

To say that the master of this Chu family is a particular person, even if he pays money and hires people, he does a decent job in the details that he shouldn't worry about.

In this small garden, there are the servants of the family themselves, the long-term workers of the master's family, and the craftsmen who should be responsible for their own food.

But no matter who it is, the first master said when he hired the person at the beginning that the lunch meal was taken care of by the first family.

This alone can reap a lot of gratitude.

Those who are grateful to the first master are all craftsmen who take out the handles.

When they left the Chu Mansion and walked the streets and alleys, as soon as they publicized it, wouldn't the good name of the Chu family follow far away?

Everyone looked at the food box, praised the words of thanks, and saw the two little guys put two large wooden barrels in the middle of the shed, so they spontaneously surrounded them.

But the two miscellaneous servants put the barrel down, but they were not in a hurry to open the lid, but only spoke eloquently to the group of craftsmen, reporting today's recipe.

"The dough is an inch-thick pot cake, not steamed but burned, absolutely porcelain. ”

"Two tickets per person will be issued per person. ”

"If it's not enough, come here to replenish it when you run out, and you can always keep your stomach full. ”

"As for the dishes, because there were no fresh vegetables in the winter, but some meat and vegetables left over from the host's house during the New Year's Festival were mixed with radishes and boiled into a pot of stew. ”

"It's not much, but each person can get a bowl. ”

"As for clearing your mouth after eating, it is the tofu ground in your own workshop, and if you like it, scoop it with a spoonful, and if you don't like it, you can only rinse your mouth with the soup on the side, which is also good. ”

The carpenters had never seen what the first family's rice looked like, but just by listening, saliva was secreted from the corners of their mouths.

When everyone stared at the two vats again, their eyes changed a little.
