Chapter 41 Learning
After doing this, Shao Manchu yawned big, rubbed his eyes, fell into the kang at hand, and fell asleep in an instant.
The days that followed were plain and fulfilling.
The project of the Water Pavilion is still so busy, but the manager Zhang who once recruited Shao Manchu ...... but never again appeared before him.
Shao Manchu didn't care, because just learning from the craftsmen and stewards in the garden made him too busy.
It was probably on the first day that Shao Manchu left too much impression on the big guys, whether it was the servants of the first family in the garden or the masters who worked with him, everyone was a little soft on him.
Because of this sensible child, there is a lot of kindness to take care of.
Those craftsmen who are strict with their apprentices on weekdays are willing to give advice when Shao Manchu asks them.
Those servants who looked approachable but were actually arrogant were also willing to help a little when they saw Shao Manchu coming over to inquire about something.
The people working in the park next to it are intrigued, and they are alone in the carpenter's circle, but they are happy.
The carpenters didn't care why they were so smooth and frank now, but the onlookers saw the reason.
It's another day of work.
After the large materials in the yard are processed, the carpenters only need to cooperate with the workers of other classifications to make some fine materials.
For example, the engraving of the window frame, and the painting on the cornice.
As a result, the carpenters who worked in the courtyard of the first family could work early.
Shao Manchu, who has been scattered and has nothing to do, has a lot more time to learn words.
It was still early in the morning, and everyone was clean, but Shao Manchu was alone with a wooden stick made by himself and walked towards the shack in the garden.
There, Steward Li waited there as usual, choosing a few words that Shao Manchu commonly used on weekdays to teach this young man who was eager to learn.
"Sir, I'm here. ”
After so many days of study, Shao Manchu has already called the steward in his mouth...... A very natural shift became what he considered to be the more respected gentleman.
Strangely, the steward, who didn't seem to like to cause trouble much, acquiesced.
Seeing Shao Man's figure in the shed, Steward Li just nodded, let him sit on the stool beside him, and talked about the vocabulary to be explained today.
"Jin, one catty and two catties, that's how it is written......"
Hearing that Mr. Li began to teach, Shao Manchu hurriedly put all his attention on the piece of paper that Mr. Li had picked up in his hand.
These papers, which are thicker than ordinary rice paper, are called bamboo letterheads.
It is a kind of paper with a slightly smooth surface and the ink is not easy to smudge, which is suitable for writing letters.
Because the material of this paper is relatively thick, it was cut into a palm-sized size by Steward Li.
In the process of display, it can stand upright.
This provides a lot of convenience for Shao Manchu's study, and with just a small detail, you can understand how seriously the gentleman you recognize is teaching yourself.
Just because of this child's heart, Shao Manchu also has to learn more seriously.
Because Shao Manchu knows that he is just a little clever in some aspects, and in the field of literacy and hyphenation, he definitely does not belong to the top-notch group of people.
Therefore, he can only work harder, study repeatedly, and strive to keep what he has learned firmly in his heart every day.
As for the side, he didn't dare to ask for more.
It is precisely because of Shao Manchu's down-to-earth learning attitude and clear self-awareness of himself that he pleases Steward Li, who seems to be a little inker than Steward Zhang.
The old man, in his own way, found a suitable learning path for Shao Manchu.
In the process of traveling this road, Steward Li also felt the joy of educating students.
After all, it's fun to keep squeezing a person's potential and seeing where their limits are.
"Well, that's good!"
Steward Li smiled and watched Shao Manchu write the word 'jin' on the sand table on the side with a wooden stick, so he nodded and took out the practice card next to him to learn today.
"Boom la la ......"
There are twenty cards, five more than yesterday.
Shao Manchu, who raised his head when he heard the sound, sniffled, and the wooden stick shaped like a fountain pen also fell on the table.
"No, sir, didn't you say that you only need to learn, catty, two, and money...... Are those words fine?"
"That's not all you have in your hand, right?"
Hearing Shao Manchu's protest, Steward Li said to Shao Manchu in a serious tone: "Manchu, is the purpose of your learning these words to serve your future business?"
Shao Manchu nodded subconsciously, expressing considerable surprise at his husband's acuity.
Steward Li spread out the character cards in his hand one by one, like a gentleman who is kind and persuasive, and carefully analyzed them for the young man: "Look, the expression of the weight you want to know is not just as simple as catties and two. ”
"As a savvy businessman, the first thing is to learn to calculate. ”
"If you want to calculate, you have to be proficient in some basic numbers, as well as basic weights and measures. ”
"See those words?"
"I was selected according to the unified Republic of China weights and measures manual issued by the Great Presidential Office in the early years of the Republic of China...... Common words for general measurement. ”
"You must not only memorize these words, but also remember the meaning of these words, the corresponding catties and sizes. ”
"When you make a big deal with people in the future, when others use these obscure words to negotiate with you, you will not be taken advantage of by others because you don't understand and don't know well. ”
This little long-term worker doesn't even have a business of his own, and Steward Li has already planned the big business for him.
said that it was not Steward Li's bad taste, and no one believed it.
But it's ...... Shao Man hoarded it.
Not only was he convinced of this, but he was also full of gratitude to Steward Li.
Mr. Lee was the only one he had met who believed that he could achieve his ideals.
A learned person has a much higher vision than others.
was interpreted by Manager Li like this, and when Shao Manchu looked at the many more words in front of him, he was not so difficult.
Isn't it just to write a few more times and get less sleepy at night?
He gritted his teeth and carried it over.
