Chapter 687: Visiting the Workshop
The carpentry workshop recommended by Sikong Yu is located in a compound outside the imperial city, and it is a long way to go out of the city.
The area of this carpentry workshop is quite large, and although it is not comparable to the Yilanlou and the like, it is said to be one of the best craft shops.
The carriage was still some distance away from the carpentry workshop, and the sound of work in the courtyard was quite rhythmic.
Walking to the door of the carpentry workshop, there was a small worker in charge of reception, seeing that the business was busy, and he was pulling the reins and passing the word inside, and the door was lively for a while.
Hua Mian observed for a while, and saw that the young men who came out to receive them were basically young people dressed as small workers, and guessed that they were apprentices in the workshop, so they entered the workshop under the guidance of several people.
Facing a middle-aged craftsman who was cutting wooden boards, the young man ran over to explain to him the intention of several people in Huamian, and after listening to the explanation, the middle-aged man walked over to Huamian and said with an impatient expression on his face: "A few people are unlucky, we just took two big jobs here, and I am afraid that we will not have time to pick up the third one in the near future."
"You see that our work here is quite urgent, can you bother the master to give us a queue?" Hua Mian said and took out a small silver ingot from the small bag on his waist and put it in the palm of the middle-aged man's hand, and whispered at the same time: "Please help, take this point, it will be my little heart, buy some snacks for the children to eat......"
I've been in the palace for a long time, and I've seen this little bit of Huamian when I ask someone to do something, in fact, there were often work dinners between colleagues in the world in the past, but Huamian had a single interpersonal relationship at that time, and no one went to her to do things.
The middle-aged man slapped the silver back into Hua Mian's palm with his backhand, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "What do you mean by this?" Don't bring the corrupt style of your businessmen into this door."
Hua Mian was stunned by the other party's roar, are the people who do carpentry here so angry? Don't want it, don't do it, yell at something.
"Senior brother, be quiet, beware of being heard by the master and whipping you with a leather rope again", from the courtyard at the back, a young man who looked much more gentle, holding a knife for carving, thinking that he was doing fine work in furniture carving.
Compared with middle-aged people, young people have much kinder faces, and Hua Mian guesses that this personality difference may be due to the different types of work of the two people.
"A few of them are here to find the master, this is not a coincidence, the master's recent work has been full, and now you need to make an appointment to wait"
The young man's unhurried tone made Hua Mian relax the excitement that had been mentioned before, and replied: "That's right, my name is Xia Hua Mian, I am a chef, I just opened a shop in the middle of the city recently, and I heard someone introduce me to ask the master of your workshop to help me repair the store."
"It's introduced again, and now the local tyrants in the city have taken the introduction of our store as a show off", the middle-aged man complained, and Hua Mian heard the boredom in his tone, so he was ready to shout again at any time.
"Senior brother, don't be angry first, listen to what they have to say", the young man stopped, turned his head and asked Hua Mian: "May I ask which nobleman introduced you here?" ”
