How long has it been since you have felt this kind of accomplishment that requires you to try again and again, and that you have not felt it all by yourself?

Gu Zheng didn't know.

He only knew that he was inexplicably satisfied now, and that satisfaction gushed out, filling his lonely heart, warming his whole body, and inspiring him to keep moving forward and forward.

Good days are ahead, and on the first day, he earned thirty dollars.

And one day, he will use his hands to earn thirty, three hundred, or even thousands of dollars.

It's not enough, he can still earn more with these hands, and he will earn a future for him and Chen Sanbao after the salted fish turns over.

Gu Zheng, who was full of hope, infected Chen Sanbao on the sickbed.

And the days passed in a flash in the process of supporting each other.

When this sensible baby staggered off the bed and got off the ground, and was already able to carry a small wooden few children to sit in front of the bunk while playing and helping the overly busy Gu Zheng to greet guests, it was time to deliver the goods in the workshop of the government office.

On this day, Gu Zheng got up early in the morning, and deliberately put on their neatest clothes for Chen Sanbao and himself, the blacksmith shop outside had not been opened, and his own cooking fire had not been opened, and the two of them did nothing, just carrying a burden that seemed to be not light, and waited early at the west end of the county and county office, at the gate of the workshop of the imperial court office.

I thought that the two of them were so active, they should have rushed here early to hand in the work, right?

No, by the time Gu Zheng arrived with Sanbao in his arms, there were already people around the door of this workshop.

This group of people can be seen from their physical characteristics alone, they are the same as Master Gu Zheng, they are all old craftsmen, think about it carefully, they can take the official word "official office", how can they have the courage to come here to beg for a life without two brushes under their hands.

And these people are different from Gu Zheng and Chen Sanbao, they don't have the apprehension of these two young and somewhat excessive children, but with a little slippery to deal with errands, they ate and drank at the breakfast shop next to the gate when the workshop had not yet opened.

There were a few craftsmen who liked Zhang **tian, and when they saw Gu Zheng, the eldest and the youngest, also appearing here, they were first surprised and then thought of something, so they beckoned in the direction of the two of them, and pointed to the empty table next to them to greet them.

"Aren't you the apprentices and sons of the Chen blacksmith family? Hey, this person's life is really unpredictable. ”

"It's really hard for you two to come out and make a life on your own at such a young age. ”

"Don't worry, come and sit. Although the workshop is open after half a minute, it actually takes half an hour to wait. ”

"Come over and eat hot, he can't bear this cold day. ”

Gu Zheng's kind reminder naturally responded from kindness.

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, let's eat some too. ”

I just don't know what this shop with a lot of business philosophy sells.

What can you eat these years? Gu Zheng can read it all out with his eyes closed.

Steamed cakes, soup cakes, wheat rice, corn porridge, and nothing else.

Eating and grilling in the morning is not pleasant for yourself, and high-end food such as meat soup and fish stew is not something that Gu Zheng's current income level can consume.

Gu Zheng, who entered the store, glanced at the food that had been placed on the table next to him, and asked for a bowl of bean porridge for Chen Sanbao and him.

In these days, there is no unique taste and traditional recipe in the food business, and the competition between their stores is economic and small profits.

Rice alone and cooking cakes are not a tasteless type that will not attract repeat customers.

Naturally, the store sells these foods in the form of a set meal with their own pickled side dishes or sauces made in large vats.

When it comes up like this, just the plates and bowls can be full, so that people who come to eat in the shop, regardless of the taste, feel a lot more comfortable.

For the food in this period, Gu Zheng didn't have much hope.

But after eating the food packed by Gu Zheng these days, Chen Sanbao, whose mouth has been raised a little picky, puffed his mouth with disgust.

Even so, this sensible child is trying his best to let himself eat, he knows that it is not easy to be alone with his brother now, and he lives as willfully as before...... Gone are the things that never go back.

He's a big kid, and he can still stand this bit of suffering.

It's just that the group of uncles around them who are not young really haven't seen anything.

Such rotten rice is also what they call 'delicious food'?

Then they are too pitiful to live in this life.

The group of uncles and uncles on the side were unaware of what Chen Sanbao was thinking.

On the contrary, they were quite interested in Gu Zheng's daring to inherit the livelihood of the Chen family's iron shop.

Many people want to see if this posterior is really out of school, or just rampage with his blood, and in the end, he hit himself on the head and broke the bloodstream.

It's a pity that the child in front of him is not very old, but he is sophisticated and sleek.

Behind that honest smile was a silent response, until the meal was finished and the four doors of the workshop were wide open to prepare for the receipt and inventory, they did not be able to witness the real chapter wrapped in the child's baggage in advance.

Forget it, it's not bad for this little effort, and when Huang Jian makes the receipt and registration, everyone will be able to see it.

"Queue up, start issuing number plates! Consciously point yourself, according to the morning and evening of arrival, you first line up in order!"

It was the clerk in charge of registration in the government-run workshop who said this, and after saying this, he walked to the half-open space on the side of the inspection workshop and sat down.

There is a case there, a number of bamboo slips and bamboo sticks, three carving knives in hand, a plate of pine smoke and ink, and a silk silk document handed over, and nothing else.

And the location of his office is also very clever, it is a long distance from the acceptance of the forge, and it is a leeward position, which makes people feel that the scorching furnace heat wave cannot affect here.

Corresponding to the comfortable office atmosphere of the knife and pen clerk is the harsh environment of the furnace where Huang Dahe, the superintendent, is located.

But this is the case in these years, even if it is a clerk, after getting involved with Wen, he is much more noble than these coolie craftsmen.

But Huang Dahe, who was in it, was not half dissatisfied.

On the contrary, he is very satisfied with his current job.

As long as he completes the hard indicators assigned by the imperial court every month, he urges his craftsmen to complete the tasks according to quality and quantity, and he doesn't even need to touch the hammer again.

It's just that the working environment is more difficult, and compared with the work he did before, it's like heaven, what is he not satisfied with?

He wanted to do this job for a long time, and never return to that sparkling forge again.

Therefore, when Huang Dahe checked the products of his private workshop, he was extremely serious.

He was afraid that the quota he handed in would be found out, and he would lose this hard-won livelihood again.

This is also why he didn't think about pulling Gu Zheng in the first place.

He is a person who can't stand up, if he walks through the back door and barely helps, he will drag his feet in the end, maybe even he will be pulled into the water, why bother?

Therefore, the serious Huang Dahe checked very slowly, in order to be foolproof, he also deliberately grew a heart and set a rule that only this workshop has.

However, all the shares handed over to his private workshop in the hands of Huang Dahe, one of them had to be marked with the mark belonging to their respective blacksmith shop on the iron ingots cast by themselves.

Huang Dahe will create a separate book based on these marks for special registration.

If there is any flaw that he has not discovered, he can also follow this record and follow the map to find the real culprit and go straight to the source.

And his trick is not insignificant.

In disguise, the careful thinking of these private workshop owners who plan to fool the test is extinguished.

The workshop that also made Huang Dahe in charge of has a good reputation in the general workshop of the imperial court office.

Even the chief governor of the imperial court has specially named and praised him.
