At this moment, in front of the door of the Wen family, there are many old masters with old clothes and a lot of sawdust and dust coming in and out with some tools, or literati dressed in long robes and Confucian scholars chatting and laughing and entering the gate together.

This scene made Wen Chong, the young master of the Wen family, a little inexplicable, and when he asked, he realized that his father had specially sent someone to invite him. Because of the current famine, after the offer of food as payment, there was an endless stream of applicants, and even rushed to be the first.

The Wen family agreed to hire these craftsmen after a simple assessment, and it is even more strange that many people who are not skilled in the arts can be complacent about fishing in troubled waters here.

In just a few moments, he could already hear several people talking about it.

What is said is nothing more than why the Wen family wants to recruit so many craftsmen with great fanfare.

"Carving the idol...... Or a fairy statue, what is the Wen family going to do? ”

"What do you care about them? We just have enough to eat! Now in this world, apart from this Wen family, where is there anyone who has spare money to invite us to work......"

Glancing back at the two carpenters in their slightly shabby clothes, he frowned even more as he walked by.

After Wen Chong observed for a while, he went straight to find his father, who was discussing with an old craftsman in the study, and asked with some doubts: "Dad, what are you doing with so many people coming to our Wen family?" ”

"What? Naturally, it is to promote the fairy name of the Jade Yuan Fairy! Wen Gonghu looked surprised, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice, "Chong'er, you are not a child now, you must be steady in everything, don't always make such a fuss." ”

"But...... Dad, do you need so many people? And some people's craftsmanship is not good, and they can't carve the charm of the fairy at all. Wen Chong reminded in a low voice.

"Big brother, this is the method that my father has just thought about carefully."

At this moment, the little sister behind her Wen Bingyan slowly walked in with a few thick account books and explained softly.

"Yes, this time the stakes are very high, so we naturally need to put more thought into it." Wen Gonghu nodded and said, "For example, those swaggering gods outside, although the immortals they believe in are fake, but those methods may be able to learn from them." ”

"Dad, do you mean to learn those indiscriminate things?" Wen Chong was stunned, a little incredulous.

"If it is useful, it is natural to learn it, as long as these methods are used on the right path, you will have a clear conscience." Wen Gonghu said with a straight face, and then looked at the old craftsman in front of him, "Master Liu, I don't know if you think the things I just told you are feasible?" ”

The master replied with some trepidation: "Sir, you can rest assured, this wooden work is the work of our people to eat, and since you have promised to pay for the grain, then we will not let you down!" But if you want to carve it exactly the same, I'm afraid it will take some work......"

These carpenters' fellows have been getting more and more difficult to do business with the severity of the famine recently, and they are living a life of fear without a meal, but they are very sad. Now there are people who are willing to pack food and pay for it just to carve some statues of gods, and they are naturally happy!

Anyway, they don't do less in normal times, and wood carvings like fairies make perfect with practice. Although this sculpture of the Wen family seems to be quite peculiar, if it is just to imitate a few similar shapes, it can still be done with their techniques.

But what about the time......

Wen Gonghu shook his head slightly and said: "It's okay, these wood carvings can be made a little simpler, as long as the general shape remains the same, so that people can recognize it at a glance as the Jade Yuan Fairy." The important thing is to be able to supply it in large quantities......"

Now the most important thing is how to quickly spread the fairy name of the Jade Yuan Fairy, only a large number of statue stores can make a deep impression.

Master Liu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If that's just the case, maybe I can cooperate with those other carpenter masters and the speed can be faster......

"Then there is Master Lao Liu......" Wen Gonghu arched his hand.

"You're welcome, sir!"

After sending this master out, Wen Chong couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are these wood carvings all sent out?" ”

Wen Gonghu nodded: "You guessed right, it's not even just about sending it out, I have another consideration." ”

"Although it is true that our Wen family can distribute food for free, there are several other conditions. First, each person can only receive it once a day, after all, at present, this batch of food is still very limited, and it is impossible to supply it in unlimited quantities. Second, it is necessary to require that everyone who comes to receive food must hold these wood carvings or portraits of the Jade Fairy, and they must also thank the Jade Fairy. ”

"Only in this way can we truly keep the immortal name of the Jade Yuan Fairy in their hearts, and let them understand that these grains were given to them by the immortals."

"Besides, it's a story about immortals."

"Story?" Wen Chong was even more puzzled.

"Yes, when the charlatans outside are swaggering and deceiving under the guise of immortals, they will give the immortals a name, or subdue demons or purify sentient beings, which also attracts the favor of the people. Although we still don't know the experience of this jade fairy, it does not prevent us from tailoring a few "stories" for her, so that it is easier to attract others. ”

Wen Gonghu's appearance, which was analyzed in such an orderly manner, fell into the eyes of Wen Chong on the side, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, although he felt a little strange, but he unexpectedly felt very reasonable: "Dad, you are really amazing!" ”

"This second point was not conceived by the Father." Wen Gonghu didn't take any chances, shook his head and said, "It's the idea that Bingyan brought back." ”

Wen Bingyan smiled and said, "To be precise, the idea proposed by that great king, it seems that the great king has already seen through the methods of our mortals." ”

"So Dad, you also invited those literati and scholars to come over?" Wen Chong was suddenly a little stunned.

"That's right, if you talk about dancing and writing, after all, these literati who rely on the pen to eat are the best at it." Wen Gonghu nodded and said, "Chong'er, there is nothing you need to be busy with in the house for the time being, you go to the shop to help tidy up first, so as not to wait until tomorrow to be in a hurry." ”

"Okay!" Wen Chong nodded excitedly, turned around and couldn't wait to turn around and walk out the door, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
