"Young Master, are we going to draw that copper plate today? How long will it take? Xiaoqing raised her head and said a little pitifully.

Not only Xiaoqing, but also Ah Zhong and Ah Yi, their faces have become bitter gourd faces, if they weren't slaves, they would probably have rebelled early in the morning.

Liu Yuan's so-called teaching is to buy a few copper plates, each person has a long thorn and a small shovel the size of a fingernail, and every day they are required to carve a straight line on it, the kind that can't stop when a line is drawn, don't look at it as simple as drawing a straight line, it is required to draw naturally and straightly, and then use a small shovel to gently shovel it down.

It is this shoveling, it is also very demanding, to shovel thin, thin layer, shovel to be smooth, neat, best like a mirror, full of shoveling, shoveling and then drawing, over and over again, a copper plate is consumed, and then replaced.

1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 10 days....... It's hard to imagine, it's like this every day, simple and tedious work is repeated again and again, how boring it is, now Xiaoqing, as soon as she picks up the copper plate or hears the sound of metal colliding, she has a feeling of wanting to collapse,

Sometimes I'd rather do heavy work than do it.

If you don't do it, you can't do it, although the young master doesn't fight, that is, the treatment is graded, and the best ones are done, there are fish and meat when eating, medium and average, green vegetables send rice, and those who don't do well can drink water porridge, and now they are half the size, eat poor old men, don't eat for a day, their eyes are shining, and when they were trained in the slave market before, they didn't feel anything when they ate those coarse rice and rotten vegetables, but they ate good ones, and then let them eat poor, and they really can't eat them......

Liu Yuan looked at the three poor children, and secretly laughed in his heart, the sins he suffered before were now reflected in these three little guys.

Thinking back then, when I first learned to apprentice, I also scraped this every day, and on the fifth day, I couldn't help but ask the same question as Xiaoqing, and before I finished speaking, my ass kicked the master and yelled: Do whatever you want, and if you don't do it, you will roll it to Lao Tzu, at that time I was so aggrieved that I almost cried, but Liu Yuan later realized the deep meaning of Lu Dao's doing.

Eyes, hearts, hands, eyes should be fast and sharp; Be patient and careful; To be skillful and steady, an excellent jewelry worker, these are the most basic three points, of course, to achieve Liu Yuan's level, there are also keen fashion antennae and wind direction, grasp the center of gravity of the trend.

"Why, you all feel bored, annoyed, and think it's useless and a waste of time, right?" Liu Yuan asked the three children with a smile on his face.

Ah Zhong, Ah Yi and Xiao Qing heard this, and nodded their little heads desperately.

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "I want to tell you in two days, but now that I see you like this, I'll say it in advance." ”

The three pairs of curious eyes stared at Liu Yuan's to see what this capable and caring master, who was not much older than himself, had to say.

Liu Yuan picked up a piece of model jewelry casually, and said with a serious face: "A piece of jewelry, in addition to its own precious materials, such as gold, silver, gemstones and other materials, also includes the value of art, in the case of this simplest purple hairpin, it includes hammering, casting, welding, cutting, polishing, riveting, plating, engraving, and other processes, in addition, young master I have also developed inlay, micro carving, hollowing and other new processes, do so much, not chopping wood, you can cut with a knife, make jewelry, to achieve clear eyes, calm heart, hand steady, Feel free to move your hands so that you can make the perfect piece of jewelry. ”

"Let you do the copper plate of the shovel, this is an important condition for exercising your patience, hand strength, wrist strength, vision and so on, if these are not the most basic, then you will not achieve anything, you will not be able to learn, then you can only be the lowest slave forever." Liu Yuan raised his right hand, raised his five fingers, turned his head and asked the three little friends: "Can you see the difference between my hand and your hand?" ”

"Young master, your hands are big."

"Yes, young master, your hands are so white."

"Yours is the hand of an adult, the hand of our child."

Liu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Wrong, mine is a pair of skillful hands, my hands can make the most exquisite jewelry in the whole Tang Dynasty, my hands can make me eat well and dress well, and you are just a pair of clumsy hands, except for washing rice, sweeping the floor and chopping wood, you can't do anything." ”

Seeing the confusion on the faces of the three little guys, Liu Yuan shook his head and smiled secretly in his heart, they are still young, and for them, they don't understand what these words mean, so they just use their actions to demonstrate to them.

"Ah Zhong, give me a piece of silver."

"Yes, young master."

Ah Zhong hurried to the storage cabinet and took a piece of silver representing high purity and purification and sent it to the young master.

"Look at it."

Liu Yuan said together, picked up a small hammer and pounded it against the silver, only to see the hammer flying up and down in Liu Yuan's hand, while beating, while quickly flipping the silver, as if there was no need to look, no need to think, less than a quarter of an hour, when the hammer in Liu Yuan's hand stopped, the mouths of the three little guys couldn't close.

It turned out to be just a piece of silver, Liu Yuan only used a hammer, less than a quarter of a needle, forced out an equilateral five-pointed star, each side, every corner, is very symmetrical, it is like a mold, with the naked eye can not see the error, all of a sudden the eyes of a little guy are valued.

It's like a trick, it's amazing.

Liu Yuan picked up the shiny silver five-pointed star and tempted the three little guys and said, "How is it?" Is it pretty? ”

"Beautiful," Ah Zhong, Ah Yi and Xiao Qing said in unison.

"Do you want it?"

"Yes."

"Think?" The corner of Liu Yuan's mouth showed a wicked smile: "Don't give it, if you want it, learn the skills well and go to it yourself after surgery, your young master, you are also shoveling small copper pieces, if you want to become a master, you have to suffer hardship." ”

The three little guys seemed to understand this sentence, and the three people and the six eyes were all shining.

"What are you doing, hurry up, eat beef fried cucumbers, braised pig's trotters and mutton soup tonight, who doesn't do it well, don't talk about meat, hum, I don't have to drink rice soup tonight." After finishing speaking, Liu Yuan snorted solemnly, and the three little guys were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads and worked.

The wonderful longing and the sumptuous dinner, especially the meat, is absolutely tempting.

After seeing the three little guys obediently practicing their basic skills, Liu Yuan put his hands behind his back and walked away triumphantly.

Finally, there is a "rookie" to train himself and clean up, which feels really good.

"Senior brother, you're tired, come, drink ginseng tea to moisten your throat." As soon as the little lady saw Liu Yuan walking out of the studio, she immediately sent the ginseng tea that had been prepared in the morning.

It's been really hard for Liu Yuan recently, and he has to make jewelry, and he has to prepare Cui Mengyao's exquisite jewelry, and he has to take the time to train the three little guys who started from scratch, which is not ordinary tired.

Fortunately, they are still young, the joints of their fingers have not become clumsy, flexible and easy to teach, and Liu Yuan has also taught them with all his heart.

Before you become a big man, you have to train them.

"Really good" Liu Yuan gently scratched the little lady's nose, and then took the ginseng tea and took two sips, neither hot nor cold, just right, so comfortable that he exhaled.

"By the way, what about Elder An?"

An Lao is talking about the housekeeper Zhao An, after he came to the Jinyu family, he was conscientious, sometimes he couldn't give up the leftovers, and secretly kept the second meal for himself to eat, it was like this was home, so Liu Yuan and Xiaoniang respected him as An Lao.

Xiaoniang said happily: "I'm looking at the store, it's really amazing, that eloquence is good, even better than you." ”

"Of course, An Lao used to be in charge of the operation of the shops under the name of the Zhao Mansion, so naturally we are much more sophisticated."

Zhao An can not only write and calculate, take care of the inside and outside, but also replace Liu Yuan to do the job of managing the shopkeeper, and help train Ah Zhong and Ah Yi in his spare time, which liberates Liu Yuan and allows him to concentrate on what he wants to do.

"Young Master, Young Master~~" Unexpectedly, as soon as Cao Cao was said, Cao Cao arrived, and just when he talked about Zhao An, this guy ran in happily with small steps: "Young Master, Young Master, there is a happy event." ”

"What are you so happy about?" Liu Yuan said strangely.

Zhao An handed an invitation to Liu Yuan's hand, and said excitedly: "Great joy, young master, the literati of Yangzhou are going to enjoy the moon on a boat in Slender West Lake tomorrow night, and by the way, I will meet friends with poetry, Mr. Su specially recommended you and invited you to participate in the poetry meeting tomorrow night." ”
