According to Mr. Zhang, his relative's coffin shop has a history of hundreds of years in the county, legend, in the early years, a relative of the emperor went out to play when he suddenly fell ill, and died on the road not far from the county, it was the weather of the fire in July, the corpse was easy to decay, his entourage learned that there was a coffin shop not far away, he came to the coffin shop, and the owner of the coffin shop said that they wanted to order a coffin, and it was best to ensure that the body did not rot when it was transported back to the house, and then he took out two gold bars and put them in the hands of the boss.

The boss held the gold bar, like he got a hot potato, he just sold the coffin, where can he ensure that the corpse does not decompose, but the words of the entourage when he left also made him tremble, "If you can't do it, you will wait to kill the head", the boss took the gold bar and meditated, he suddenly thought that in the people, if there is a dead person on a hot day, in order to store the corpse for three days, they put ice cubes around the corpse to ensure that the corpse does not rot.

The boss hurriedly asked the guy to go to the underground ice storage in the neighboring village to buy a lot of ice, and he asked the guy to make a tightly sealed coffin overnight, and spread the quilt inside the coffin, and spread a layer of ice on top of the quilt, and another layer of quilt on top of the ice.

When the boss found the attendant and told him that the coffin was ready, and asked him to quickly put the body in, the attendant did as the boss instructed, and after the body was put in, the boss covered the corpse with another layer of quilt, and sprinkled ice cubes on the quilt, and then spread a quilt on the ice cubes.

The entourage was puzzled and asked the boss, it was already hot, and you also laid four layers of quilts on top and bottom, isn't it easier for the corpse to rot? The boss told the entourage that he couldn't tell the reason, but he just felt that with this method, he could isolate the heat outside and keep the cold in the coffin, a bit like a cellar that was warm in winter and cool in summer, and had the effect of heat preservation.

A week later, the entourage kept his promise, and sure enough, he gave the boss five gold bars, he said, the body was transported to the house, and when it was opened, the body not only did not rot, but also remained as it was, so he came to thank him.

Later, somehow, the news spread, and the business of the coffin shop became popular, and the owner rented a larger façade with seven gold bars rewarded by his entourage, purchased more good wood, and his business also drove the business of the underground ice storage in the neighboring village.

Of course, this is just a legend, but through this legend, at least it shows that the owner of the coffin shop has a brain.

Mr. Zhang took Dahu into the coffin shop and met the owner of the coffin shop.

The coffin is spread out by the boss, fifty miles away, the person looks very shrewd, the body is also hard, and he speaks happily, a bit like a master, and the first time he met the boss, he left a feeling of closeness to Dahu.

There are five guys working in the coffin shop on weekdays, and if there is a lot of work, the boss will temporarily hire a few helpers, and now these five guys are about the same age as the big tiger.

Mr. Zhang introduced Dahu's situation to the boss, and when he saw that Dahu had arranged for him, he went back to school.

A young man named Wang Dali, who was new like Dahu, called the two of them together and said to them:

"I only need a guy in this coffin shop now, Wang Dali was introduced by my apprentice, Dahu was introduced by my relatives, I am a person, I pay attention to character and technology, that is, the relationship is iron, without these two things from me, I can't pass the test, for the sake of fairness, I want to give you a month, it can be considered a trial, but you two rest assured, I will pay you expenses during the trial period, remember, you have to stay with real skills."

The boss then called Maotou and another guy over, he arranged for Maotou to take the big tiger, arranged for another guy to take the force, and told Maotou and the other guy that in this month, the craft of making coffins should be taught to two people, so that they can master the skills as soon as possible, and after a month, he will see the results of the two people.

In order for the two people not to disturb each other and concentrate on learning technology, the boss deliberately separated the two people.

The big tiger followed Maotou into the yard where they were working, and Maotou pointed to the board in the yard and said to the big tiger:

"Your job today is to plank the wood, and as for what to do next, let me think again."

"Okay, I'll ask you if you have any questions." Big Tiger said.

Dahu knows that today's first step is a little difficult, originally the boss arranged for Maotou to teach the skills of making coffins, and Maotou promised to do it well in front of the boss, but his face changed in a blink of an eye, and there was only one month, if in this month's time, he could not make a coffin that satisfied the boss, then he would lose this opportunity.

It stands to reason that with the current craftsmanship of the big tiger, it is not difficult to make a coffin, but the key is that the coffin shop here is different, it is the largest coffin shop in the county, some of the dignitaries in the county after a hundred years, their families will come here to select or customize the coffin, people don't care about the amount of money, they want to care about the quality of wood and exquisite style, the scenery when they are alive, and they are superior to those over there, so the carpenter's craftsmanship is required to be more exquisite in order to meet the requirements of customers.

Compared with the coffins that Dahu had done before, they were all too ordinary styles, so Dahu was lacking in this regard, he was eager to learn from Maotou, but seeing Maotou's ignorance of him, Dahu still chose to accept it.

Although Maotou's age is a few years younger than Dahu, Dahu still calls Maotou his senior brother, because this is the rule in the industry, no matter how old he is, whoever knows the master earlier is the senior brother.

In order to master the skills of making high-quality coffins as soon as possible, Dahu tried to put his posture very low, humbly asked Maotou for advice when encountering problems, and always rushed to do tiring and dirty work.

Originally, the boss arranged Maotou and Dahu, the two of them cooperated to do the work, but Maotou hid in a cool place to drink tea, only Dahu did it alone in the yard, this is not counted, in order to show the identity of his brother, Maotou deliberately picked bones in the egg, once, it was obvious that he drew the wrong line, and the board that Dahu planed out would have problems, but he accused Dahu of disrespecting his brother and not working according to the line he drew.

Dahu didn't take Maotou's groundless accusations to heart, but laughed it off, because in Dahu's view, these are just problems that must be encountered in apprentices, not to mention that he is new to the school, and he still focuses on learning art.

That day, the big tiger asked Maotou, saying that he wanted to ask his brother to guide him to draw the drawings of the coffin, Maotou listened, a face of reluctance, he said, "Rice to eat bite by bite", I haven't learned how to plank the board, I want to learn to draw, I am not afraid of choking, or start from the low level, slowly master it.

Seeing that ten days have passed, Dahu has not learned anything, in the yard planboard, in order to master the skills of making coffins as soon as possible, Dahu began to observe the coffin in the yard of the molding, Dahu carefully measured the size of the coffin and the thickness of the coffin board, he drafted a drawing of the coffin himself, for fear that the hairy head would see the extraneous branches, the big tiger hid the drawings on his body, when the hairy head was not there, he took it out and pondered.

Mao Tou thought, 'I taught the apprentice and starved the master to death', although he is only the senior brother of the big tiger, but he also wants to let the big tiger understand that he will not easily teach the craft to the big tiger, even if he doesn't get this errand in the end, it is unlucky and has nothing to do with him.

However, the boss is not a vegetarian, all the performances of the big tiger and the hairy head have been observed by the boss in the dark, the yard where the big tiger works and the yard where the boss lives, there is only a wall apart, the boss will come to the yard where the big tiger works from time to time to take a turn, you don't underestimate this circle, the boss can really see the problem.

That day, the boss came to walk around again, he saw the big tiger alone in the yard to study the drawings, the boss did not bother the big tiger, but walked around and left, the big tiger did not know what the boss's intentions were, he as a probationary worker is not good to ask, in fact, the boss is to check what Maotou and the big tiger have done.

The time for the boss to ask for the work is getting closer and closer, the big tiger has not yet made a coffin, this time he really can't hold his breath, at night, he found Maotou, told Maotou his anxious mood, Maotou said, "How can you beg people to use their mouths?" Maotou's words reminded Dahu, Dahu ran to the store across the street, bought two bottles of liquor and snacks, and filled Maotou with a snack box, when Dahu put these things in front of Maotou, Maotou pretended not to care and said, this is the outside, but still accept all the orders.

You say how this thing is so coincidental, just when the big tiger ran to the opposite side to buy something, was found by the boss, it turned out that the boss had a habit of walking after dinner at night, the boss thinks, as a probationary worker of the big tiger, will not be willing to spend money to buy wine and vegetables for himself, there must be a hidden secret, the boss quietly followed him back to the yard, when he saw the big tiger put things into the house of the hairy head, he understood.

With the sincerity of the big tiger, Mao Tou began to arrange the big tiger production, he drew the pattern, handed it to the big tiger, let him start cutting according to the size marked in the pattern, because the big tiger had done this homework before, he found that the size marked in the picture of the hair head did not match the actual one, when he opened his mouth to ask the head again, the head of the hair said, which so many words, according to my drawings on the line.

Dahu ostensibly agreed to Maotou, but still ordered according to the actual size.

In order to test the craftsmanship of the big tiger and vigorously, the boss several times after they finished work, to the yard where they worked quietly observed, through the observation of the boss found that the board that was planed by the hand of the big tiger, the feel is delicate and smooth, the eyes look flat and straight without concave and convex, the thin thickness of the plate is not different, with such a plate to make coffins customers must be satisfied, the boss sighed, young people can have such a good craft is not much.

At the same time, another master brought Dali, also doing the same work as the big tiger, of course he also wants to stay in the coffin shop, it is said that this kind of thinking is normal, understandable, but there is a saying called 'a gentleman loves money, take it in the right way', and by extension, the big tiger and vigorous competition should be changed to 'gentleman competition, take it in the right way', want to stay in the coffin shop, through hard work and study, to make the boss satisfied with the wooden work to achieve, and Dali is a little eager for quick success, he went to the front.

Dali was originally working in another yard, but he always wanted to know what the big tiger's craftsmanship was, one night, he came to the yard where the big tiger worked, and saw the big tiger planed into the board, which is indeed stronger than him, and Dali is thinking, with technology alone, he is not advantageous, after the expiration of a month, the boss is likely to leave the big tiger, and he will lose this opportunity, if he doesn't want to lose this opportunity, he can only do something in other aspects, such as slandering the character of the big tiger, because the boss said, Those who can stay must look at their character and craftsmanship.

For the next whole day, he was thinking about anything to defeat the big tiger, of course, he didn't have the heart to work, not to mention, he also found a way to defeat the big tiger.

He learned that the elder brother of the big tiger liked to drink, so he went to the commissary and bought two bottles of wine, and while Maotou was resting in the house, he came to Maotou's house, he put the wine on the table, and said to Maotou:

"Senior brother, I should have come to see you a long time ago, but it's inconvenient to have a big tiger."

"No, you should give the wine to your brother." Mao Tou was puzzled.

"That's right, I've heard a long time ago that your craftsmanship is first-class among the guys, but the boss arranged for you to take the big tiger, and I didn't dare to tell the boss that I wanted you to take me, in fact, I was very disappointed." Vigorously said.

Mao Tou loves to listen to compliments, he has been a senior brother to Dahu for more than 20 days, and he has never heard such a compliment from Dahu, he is thinking in his heart, he is also a probationary worker, how people talk vigorously attracts people to listen, seeing a smile on Maotou's face, Dali continued:

"Senior brother, I'm not stirring up trouble, I'm a little upset for you."

"Dali, what do you mean by that?" Maotou was confused by the words of the force.

"If I do, don't tell the big tiger that I said it, the big tiger came to the yard where I worked that day, do you know what he said to me?" Dali pretended to be mysterious.

"Don't sell it, tell me, what did he tell you?" Maotou was anxious to ask vigorously.

"Then I'll just say it, Dahu told me, don't look at my senior brother and senior brother screaming all day long, in fact, his craftsmanship can't catch up with me, I'm just a newcomer, I have to respect him." Energetically began to compile.

"Dali, what you said is true?" The hairy face was flushed with anger.

"Of course, can I say that casually? Dahu also told me that after a month, the boss will definitely keep him, senior brother, Dahu didn't take you in his eyes at all, if he stayed, your life will not be easy in the future, I don't think you can fight him. "Spice it up.

"Okay, it's a guy with a ghost behind a person in front of you, look at how I clean you up, and I still want to stay in the coffin shop, let's dream!" Maotou gritted his teeth and said.

"Senior brother, don't be angry with your body, it's not worth it for this kind of person." Vigorously said.

How can Mao Tou still have the energy to continue to work in vain, he has been so angry that his eyes are on fire, his hands and feet are trembling, assuming that the big tiger is in front of him, he will wave his fist and hit the big tiger.

Seeing that the concocted lies were working, he returned to the yard where he worked.

After Dali finished talking and left, Mao Tou began to have luck, and he swore that he would not keep the big tiger if he was in the coffin shop for a day.

But Maotou also knows that he is just a guy in the coffin shop, and he doesn't care who he doesn't leave behind, only the boss has the right to make a decision, so if you want to prevent the big tiger from staying, you must first prick the big tiger at the boss, so that the boss has a bad impression of the big tiger.

It happened that day, the boss was idle, so he called Maotou and another guy in charge of Dali to his yard, the boss opened his mouth and mentioned the performance of the two people in the probationary period, and the other guy was very objective to point out the problems that exist in the technology one by one, it was Maotou's turn, Maotou cleared his throat, and began to judge the big tiger in character and technology, the boss just listened and did not express any opinions, after the two guys finished speaking, the boss explained that the two guys continued to observe the two people, Wait until the probationary period expires to make a decision.

Another guy left, Maotou stayed, he said he had something to say to the boss, the boss quietly listened to Maotou said that there was no one in the eyes of the big tiger, the work was not practical, and he said bad things about him behind his back, and the boss just listened and still didn't make any judgments, which made Maotou bottomless, is the boss really fancy the big tiger? Otherwise, how could he be indifferent to his own reflection of the situation of the big tiger? No, he must show his witness so that the boss can see the face of the big tiger.

Maotou found Dali, let him go with him to see the boss, and tell the boss what the big tiger said in front of him, Maotou also said to Dali, this is also an opportunity to show you, if you don't tell the real situation, you will lose the opportunity to retain this time, listen to Maotou's words, vigorously embarrassed, originally he said that the big tiger said the words, he made up his own blind fabrication, if the boss called the truth, let the big tiger come to confront him, then his lie was exposed, the only chance to stay is gone.

Maotou saw that Dali was a little hesitant and anxious, he said: "If you made up this matter, otherwise you will go with me to see the boss now", it was difficult to ride the tiger vigorously, he had no way out, so he had to follow Maotou to see the boss.

The boss saw that the two people came at the same time, and he understood a little bit in his heart, Maotou stabbed it vigorously with his hand, and vigorously said what he said to Maotou to the boss, and the boss listened to it and told them that the time of a month is coming soon, and you still put your mind on the craft, and you will see you in a month.

Since listening to the vigorous instigation, Mao Tou has not been right to look at Da Hu, let alone guide Da Hu technically, but due to the urgency of time, he has no time to worry about these with Mao Tou, but ******** make coffins.

Maotou gave the big tiger a pattern, he told the big tiger, the original pattern is invalid, now according to the account pattern production, the size can not be bad at all, the big tiger took the pattern to see, the size of the cover plate is smaller than the general specifications of the cover plate, if according to the account pattern production, the size of the coffin and the cover plate is inconsistent, the coffin cover is not tight, this coffin must be scrapped, then it really becomes' Cover the coffin', his big tiger will be eliminated 100%, and Dali will stay in the coffin shop safely, to say that Maotou's trick is enough damage, he deliberately drew the wrong one, embarrassing the big tiger.

Dahu is not stupid, he did not make it according to the pattern size of Maotou, seeing him work until late at night every day, Maotou was very proud to drink a little wine in the house, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, you just don't sleep for 24 hours, and you will have to be eliminated when the time comes.

And vigorously here, because he spent all his energy on calculating the big tiger, the more he did the work in his hands, the more he did it, the more he took him, reminded him that if it went on like this, he was likely to go, and he was not afraid, he had Maotou's staring, he thought that the boss would not ignore Maotou's feelings, so he didn't pay attention to the reminder of the guy with him at all, and for insurance, he gave Maotou a gift again.

The one-month probationary period finally arrived, and the boss ordered the two coffins made by Dahu and Dali to be carried to the middle of the yard, but the boss did not explain the owner of the coffin.

The boss sat in front of the two coffins of the coffin, and on either side stood the guys, and the boss shouted:

"Acceptance begins!"

The boss got up and walked to the coffin made vigorously, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, from the front to the back of the boy carefully observed, and then he walked to the coffin made by the big tiger, the same steps went again, after looking at the coffin made by the two people, the boss did not express any opinions, but let each guy follow his own way, carefully observe the coffin made by the two people, and express his opinions.

After the guys finished observing, they began to express their opinions, and four of the five guys said that the coffin on the left was finely workmanship and almost flawless, but Maotou, who was the senior brother of the big tiger, expressed a different opinion, he pointed to the coffin and said to everyone:

"I don't know if you have just carefully observed, the coffin on the right, although the workmanship is not as fine as the left, but the size is exactly the same, this is the minimum requirement for making a coffin, and the coffin made on the left is fine and flawless on the surface, but he committed the taboo of making a coffin, the cover plate and the coffin can not fit tightly, the size is a little bit worse, we all know that even a little difference in size, it is contrary to the reputation of the coffin shop, so I have reason to say that the person who makes the coffin on the left cannot stay in the coffin shop."

"No? I just looked at it very closely. ”

"Poor size of cover and coffin? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Why don't we take another look?"

A few guys began to whisper, and at this time the boss stood up, and he walked up to Maotou and said to Maotou:

"You don't even have to look closely, how do you know that the coffin on the left is the wrong size?"

"I just found out, too." Mao Tou said weakly.

"Well, since I just found out that I don't blame you, then you point out the difference in size of the cover in front of everyone, anyway, the coffin is there, and speaking with facts will also convince everyone, if the left cover is really bad in size, I am talking here, and the person who does the left coffin must not stay." The boss spoke mildly, but the tone was a bit harsh.

The boss's words put the hair on the head, and he had to take everyone back to the coffin made by the big tiger, and when he touched the cover with his hand, his heart suddenly cooled half, right? Obviously, the size I gave him is not right, but the current cover plate is not the same, is it because I drew the right size in the first place? It's impossible, I repeatedly compared the coffin many times before I deliberately drew it wrong, what went wrong?

Just when Mao's mind was a little insufficient, the boss spoke:

"The reason why I asked you to judge the coffin made by two people today is because I want to tell you that it is very important to be a person in terms of being and doing things, why do you say that? I also tell you a secret, after the two people of the big tiger finished the work, I will quietly check the work of the two of them, one day, I was working in the big tiger where I worked, and accidentally found the size of the hair head for the big tiger, a few millimeters less than the actual one, just these few millimeters, if it is a carpenter who is sloppy in carpentry, maybe he can't find it, at first I also thought that the big tiger can't find it, but at night, I went to inspect the board sawed by the big tiger, and found that the size of the hair head is not the same, I thought, Big Tiger is a carpenter with a brain who is willing to study, but I have never told Big Tiger about this. ”

"The boss is the boss, and you, like Bao Gong, still engage in 'micro-service private visits'?" One of the guys said.

"You're right,' Micro service private interview' to find the real problem, the previous month of the big tiger in the probation period, both of them want to stay in the coffin shop, which makes me very happy, because the coffin shop has successors, but to rely on real skills, don't engage in conspiracy behind the tricks, I observe the big tiger in the daytime work, no matter whether there is someone around or not, are the same hard work, unlike individual people, pull the relationship to create rumors to deceive the sympathy of others, such a person is no matter how good the technology is, I will not stay, not to mention that it is not the case at all, I believe that through a one-month probationary period, everyone can learn from it, what to feel。 ”

"Boss, why don't you hurry up and announce who of the two of them can stay?" One of the guys urged the boss.

"Do you still need me to announce it? The person who made the coffin on the left, please come forward. The boss focused his eyes on the big tiger.

Dahu looked at everyone and stood in front of the boss.

"We still want to hear the name of the big tiger from your mouth." Guy proposed.

"Well, I declare, it's the big tiger who stays." The boss's voice rose an octave in one fell swoop.

Hearing what the boss said at the scene, Mao Tou and Dali lowered their heads, they thought that they had done that behind their backs, and the boss would not find out, but they didn't expect that in front of the boss who was discerning, they still missed the trap, and when Dali turned around to leave, the boss stopped him and said to Dali seriously:

"For the sake of you being young, I want to give you another two months of probationary period, we all have times when we make mistakes, but we have to correct them when we realize it, I understand that the essence of your child is not bad, it is because I was carried away by the idea of staying in the coffin shop, said things that should not be said, and did things that should not be done, you are still young, and the road ahead is still very long, you must first learn to be a person and then learn to do things, I hope you can become good friends with the big tiger, learn from each other's strengths, and in this way, my coffin shop will be full of talents and prosperous business."

The boss's words gave the desperate Dali a chance to start over, and he told the boss that he would definitely get rid of his bad habits, not only during the probation period but at any time, and strive to become the right-hand man of the coffin shop.

Why did the boss give Dali another chance at the critical moment.

It turned out that the boss had long had doubts about Dali's actions, so he found the guy who introduced him to learn about Dali's situation, and the guy told the boss that Dali's life experience was very tragic, his father died when he was very young, and his mother cried because she missed her father, to rely on craftsmanship to support the mother, no longer let the mother live a wandering life.

But the reality is not as vigorously imagined, they have more carpenters, and the competition is also very fierce, sometimes, he can't do a job for three or two months, and the life of the family has become a problem, and the mother is worried that his body can't survive for a few years, he must see his son start a family when he can still move, a few days ago, the neighborhood aunt told him a family, the two of them met, and they both expressed a good impression, but the cost of the dowry and marriage bothered him, after understanding the situation of the force, The guy who knew his coffin shop introduced him to the trial.

When the boss learned about Dali's situation, he had more understanding of him, especially when he heard that Dali had filial piety to his blind old mother, the boss thought, ' Filial piety first', a child who honors his parents, in essence, should not have much of a problem, the reason why he will frame the big tiger, to a large extent, is to get this opportunity, people will inevitably make mistakes in a hurry, at this time, you push him out, he may go to another road in life, you pull him, he will reflect on himself, re-behave, this pull is likely to determine his fate, the boss decided to pull him, give him a chance, and the boss's decision moved him to tears。

Subsequently, Dali found Dahu, sincerely apologized for his behavior, Dahu forgave Dali, he told Dali, it is not easy to come out to work, to treat people with a generous heart, vigorously nodded in agreement, since then, the two of them have really become friends, Dali will also consult Dahu when he encounters incomprehensible problems, Dahu is the same, see young people can unite as one, great achievements, the boss is sincerely gratified.

However, things always have ups and downs, the relationship between Dahu and Dali has just been straightened out, and a new situation has emerged in the relationship with Maotou.
