Zhang Lin looked at the black ink, so he had to put down the brush, it seemed that the reader couldn't put it down, so he had to dip his fingers in the ink and write two words "chief" on the paper.

"You let those three try it, and if it's okay, it's all right."

Zhang Lin looked very satisfied, the word "chief" is a necessary skill for the volunteers, as a volunteer, you can have no merit, you can also be stupid, but you must write down the word "chief", otherwise you will get out.

The volunteers who came in with them were a little amused when they saw the platoon commander writing with a brush, and it was a happy thing to see the platoon commander make a fool of himself.

The grip of a brush and a pencil is different, and the strength of the use is also different, so let's put it this way, if you are proficient in using a brush, you will definitely be able to use a pencil, but the reverse is not possible.

Although Wu Cai despised it in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, and he despised the guests, didn't he push the guests out! But these two words, the word "head" is still known, but is that "long" a word? The "long" in traditional Chinese characters is different from the "long" in simplified characters, so it is normal for Wu to be recognized.

"Master Jun, do you see if this word is wrong." Pointing to the "long" question.

Zhang Lin: "That's right, the chief taught us to be like this, you guys, let's talk about it!" ”

The volunteers all shook their heads, indicating that it was right, the chief had taught these two words at present, which were engraved in his heart, and the platoon commander did not make a mistake.

What kind of words do guests want to carve, then what kind of carving, as for the wrong problem, people are right, what is this Wu Cai, anyway, it has been reminded.

This is a small collision of simple and traditional cultures, which is of far-reaching significance!

The three apprentices came out and saluted Zhang Lin in turn, and then they took the tools and jingled them to carve the word "chief", using a small stone, a little bigger than a fist.

After waiting for a long time, I don't know if the apprentice was not skilled, or was too nervous, or for other reasons, in short, an apprentice "dang" and broke a few stones.

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, and let the other two apprentices continue.

The matter was not over, and after a short time, I didn't know what was wrong there, and one of the two remaining apprentices, when he carved the "long", used too much force, and knocked out a small gap in the stone, but this gap destroyed the integrity of the whole year, and it was no longer visible.

Not long after, one of the remaining apprentices successfully carved the word "chief" on the stone slab, Zhang Lin was very satisfied, not why, because the words carved on the stone were much better than the ink he wrote.

"Okay, I'm going to ask for this little brother, that's a good word."

Wu Cai spoke next to him, "He is a distant relative of mine, named Wu Niu, and the military master will take it away if he likes it." ”

Zhang Lin: "Wu Niu, yes, come with us, and give you five taels of silver every month in the future." ”

The other two apprentices listened to it and almost had their eyes coming out, what happened, to return the silver? If that's the case, didn't they lose their advantage by thinking about it just now?

Zhang Lin: "The shopkeeper, I won't take advantage of you, this Wu Niu will do things with us in the future, and give you ten taels of silver as a salary to help us train him." ”

The shopkeeper took the money and exclaimed, "Polite, polite." ”

But I smiled in my heart, so that there is such a big income, and there is no one left, isn't this pie in the sky! Wu Cai swore that he didn't have the heart to ask these people for money at all, and they took the initiative to give it.

After Zhang Lin took people away, he looked at the two distant nephews who were remorseful, Wu Cai snorted, the small actions of the two just now can be hidden from outsiders, but it is not enough in front of an "expert" like him.

Among the three people, Wu Niu belongs to the kind of naïve character, what is the shopkeeper called, just do it according to the meaning of the shopkeeper, the other two belong to a little smart people, and they are relatively quick to learn things, and the two of them have the best skills, but they just carved the words badly?

A group of strangers wanted to take away the apprentice who could carve words, and the two did not dare to follow the stranger away, so when carving, they deliberately carved the words.

The words are all broken, which means that their skills are not good, my skills have not been learned well, what use do you want me to have, this is the mind of the two apprentices, Wu Niu carved out the words honestly and seriously, and was really selected.

Just when the two apprentices secretly said good luck, the next Zhang Lin's words, let them be like a lightning strike, people are taken away, but people are paid, and it is five taels of silver, yes, there are five taels of silver a month, they are apprentices are not paid, not a single copper coin, mainly depends on the mood of the store, if the business is good, reward a few copper plates.

Apprentices still want to have a fixed salary, don't think too much, it's already good to have a full meal, or it depends on the relatives, so let them come over as apprentices and teach a craft, outsiders don't even think about it.

The opportunity was in front of them, but unfortunately they didn't seize it, Wu Niu's carving skills were worse than theirs, and they had a salary of five taels of silver, and just now they gave three taels of silver as a settlement fee, and even gave the shopkeeper ten taels of silver, saying what kind of training fee, seeing them so happy, they did not doubt that Wu Niu would really have five taels of silver in the future.

If people really lie, they won't give the shopkeeper silver, and they can't just take people away, and they waste the silver.

What is the concept of five taels of silver, usually the business in the store is good, and it is only a few dozen taels of silver in a month, but you have to deduct all kinds of expenses, and what really goes to your pocket is less than five taels of silver, Wu Niu's skills are not as good as them, but he has five taels of silver, which is more than the silver earned in the store, how not to make the two apprentices jealous and crazy.

The opportunities of life are like a rainstorm rushing towards them, but the two of them either hit the umbrella or dodged them one by one.

Wu Niu's opportunity is not so simple, Wu Niu is called Master Wu by the people of the later generations of the empire.

A work that can be called a master, has an amazing performance in a certain field, or is praised by the world.

Wu Niu, originally a tombstone carving apprentice, supported an important work, which is a work that is admired by the world, although it is not very spectacular, and there is nothing outstanding about it, but this work created for the volunteers represents an extraordinary meaning.

So much so that the Chinese people who later took root all over the world came back to see with their own eyes that it represented the beginning of a new era.

No matter how remorseful the two apprentices were, Zhang Lin left with someone, and the chief said that as long as there is a craftsman who can carve words, it doesn't matter how high or low the skill is, Wu Niu's carving he saw, in his opinion it is very good, that is enough.

If you let a professional craftsman come to see Wu Niu's carving, you must shake your head, this technology, you can't go out of the school, but the volunteers don't pay so much attention to it, and they are all this big and rough, where to tell if it's good or not, the standard of the volunteers is that it can be carved out, who cares if his skills are good or bad.

Isn't it funny to expect a group of volunteers who have just begun to learn to appreciate the art of carving?

Zhang Lin patted Wu Niu's shoulder, "Wu Niu, where is your family, and how many people are there?" ”

Wu Niu was recruited by Zhang Lin, so he naturally wanted to ask about his situation, which also showed his importance to him.

Wu Niu is an apprentice who has not yet graduated, and there is nothing arrogant, so he said respectfully, "My lord, the small home is in the county seat, can you let me go back and say goodbye to my father." ”

Zhang Lin: "No problem, after half an hour, I will wait for you at the city gate." I'll give you ten taels of silver. "Zhang Lin's 20,000 taels of silver was obtained for nothing, and he didn't feel distressed about spending other people's money.

"Thank you, then I'll go first."

Wu Niu has a simple temperament, he wants to leave the house and say hello to his father, but he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing, which has a silver income, I really don't know what to say, but I already agree with these people in my heart.
