Chapter 079: The Apprentice Arrives
After Zhao De and Sun Yun finalized the two masters, Qin Yi took his grandmother and Du Caiyu back to his hometown in Sucheng.
Situ Mo's museum has taken annual leave, Situ Mo stayed in the Molan Workshop to help Qin Lanzhou deal with all kinds of trivial things in the store at the end of the year, and the two set off back to their hometown in the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve to welcome the arrival of the New Year as in previous years......
At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed.
When I returned to Beixun Ancient Street, it was already the seventh day of the first month of the following year.
The Molan Workshop, like all the merchants in Beixun Ancient Street, was ready to officially open on the eighth day of the first lunar month, so Qin Lanzhou and Situ Mo returned to the Molan Workshop a day early, and after tidying up from the inside out, like other merchants, they hung red lanterns high at the gate of the Molan Workshop.
Xiao Sheng and Xiao Mo have not yet come to report, and all the work in the courtyard of the store is personally sorted out by her and Situ Mo.
Qin Lanzhou took great pains to put on a paper hat made of newspaper to cover the dust, tied a black leather apron that he used for work on weekdays, put on a pair of black velvet sleeves, put on a dust mask, and was fully armed, and then he was working in full swing in the Molan Workshop...... This day is probably the most active day for her to do chores in the whole year.
Situ Mo was still sweeping in the yard, Qin Lanzhou had already carried the ladder to the store by herself, she took a clean white rag, climbed to the top of the ladder with a vigorous posture, and wiped the lights on the ceiling with a rag.
Just as she was concentrating on the dust falling in the corners of the lamp, a man's voice suddenly came from the shop:
"Auntie, is this the Molan Workshop?"
Who is so blind that they actually call her "aunt"?
Qin Lanzhou instantly felt a strong dissatisfaction rise in her heart, she immediately leaned over to see who the person who came, but who knew that because she was moving too fast, her head inadvertently hit the corner of the lamp, and the severe pain hit her and made her lose her balance.
After the ladder swayed back and forth twice, her people swayed forward with the ladder.
Qin Lanzhou was so frightened that his face turned pale and he let out an exclamation.
Seeing that he was about to smash the ladder to the counter opposite, Qin Lanzhou immediately closed his eyes in fear, not daring to face the upcoming cups......
Fortunately, at this critical moment, Song Jinyu appeared in the Molan Workshop in time, and Situ Mo also happened to walk into the store through the secret door.
When they saw Qin Lanzhou falling forward, they both shouted in unison:
"Be careful!"
While shouting, the two rushed to the direction where the ladder had fallen without hesitation, and as soon as it was too late, one of them held on to the side of the ladder.
The ladder, which had been tilted at an angle of nearly 45 degrees, was finally re-established under the timely support of Song Jinyu and Situ Mo, and Qin Lanzhou standing on the ladder was like a roller coaster, obviously feeling that he was about to fall to the bottom, but in an instant, he stood at the top again.
The moment the ladder was held back firm, Qin Lanzhou patted his chest with palpitations, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
The strong psychological shadow forced her to stay on the stairs any longer, and she hurriedly went down and down the stairs until her feet touched the ground, and her nervous mood relaxed slightly......
"Are you alright?"
Song Jinyu and Situ Mo hurriedly rushed forward and asked.
"I'm fine, but what about the guy who just looked for me?"
After confirming that he was safe and sound, Qin Lanzhou, who had always been eager to report, turned his head without saying a word and began to look for the "initiator".
Qin Lanzhou didn't care about greeting them more, she directly ripped off the paper hat on her head, her black hair poured down like a waterfall in an instant, and the mask on her face was immediately torn off by her......
The young man at the door, who had a slightly green face and was about 20 years old, was so shocked that his eyes widened instantly, and he was shocked by Qin Lanzhou's momentum at that moment and retreated.
"Yes...... It's me. ”
Although the young man was a little afraid of this beautiful sister, he still hung his head and said in a low voice.
Qin Lanzhou tore off the two sleeves on his hands and the black leather apron on his body, revealing the rainbow-colored bat-sleeved sweater and dark gray denim shorts and black boat shoes hidden inside, and his tall figure was immediately revealed in front of everyone, which was far from the nondescript image of the aunt just now.
For a while, not to mention this young man, even Song Jinyu, who hadn't seen Qin Lanzhou for more than half a month, was once again amazed.
Although Qin Lanzhou has always said that she has never cared much about her appearance, there is no woman who doesn't care about her age, not to mention that she is so young and unmarried, and as a result, she was called "aunt" by a young man who is only a few years younger than herself, plus she almost hung up the lottery in the first month just now, Qin Lanzhou naturally couldn't easily spare this young man.
She raised her eyebrows, walked in the direction of the young man step by step, pinched the old waist and stood in front of the young man:
"What did you just call me? You shout again! ”
Qin Lanzhou's voice was cold, and her arrogant appearance in one go showed her beautiful face, which was even more of a sharp beauty.
The young man was shocked by her aura, and was so frightened that he took two steps back, and his face immediately showed a little timidity, and he immediately changed his words with a strong desire to survive:
"Sister...... Hello sister. ”
Qin Lanzhou saw that the young man was quite witty, and the anger in her heart dropped slightly, she glanced at the young man in front of her, and found that she was not impressed, so she took her sister's posture and immediately reprimanded the young man:
"Don't call others aunt casually in the future, aunt is a very rude title, and besides, am I that old? I'm probably only two or three years older than you! Tell me, what do you want to do when you come to the Moran Workshop? ”
Qin Lanzhou's reprimand crackled like a firecracker, startling the young man and nodding his head again and again, but he made Song Jinyu laugh on the side.
Jinyi will also open the door tomorrow, so after hearing that Qin Lanzhou and Situ Mo will return to Yancheng today, he will also drive back immediately.
He brought a lot of New Year's gifts from others to his family from home, many of which are precious snacks from all over the world, and he is well versed in the foodie attributes of Qin Lanzhou's little gluttonous cat, so he specially sent it today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came, he bumped into the thrilling scene just now, when he learned that Qin Lanzhou almost fell off the ladder because the young man called her "aunt" out of nowhere, Song Jinyu laughed very unreservedly, causing Qin Lanzhou to immediately throw him a roll of his eyes.
"I ...... I was recommended by Master Sun and wanted to ...... Apprentices from the Moran Workshop. ”
The young man was already a fledgling and timid, but he thought that this beautiful sister was so imposing, and he was even more frightened for a while to say a few words, and his face was also crimson.
"Master Sun recommended you to be an apprentice?"
Qin Lanzhou didn't expect him to come to the door for this reason, and he was very surprised for a while.
"Well, they'll be here soon, let me wait here first. I...... My name is Lin Jiao, and my sister calls me dumplings. You...... You're Sister Qin Lanzhou, right? ”
Although the young man was frightened, he was quite clever and knew how to report his home.
Qin Lanzhou then understood what was going on, Sun Yun did call her a few days ago, saying that one of his distant nephews had dropped out of school and only liked to stay at home and play games every day, and wanted to take him to learn art in the Molan Workshop this year, so as not to become a waste person at a young age.
"Yes, I am Qin Lanzhou, and you are Master Sun's nephew, right? I didn't scare you, did I? ”
After Qin Lanzhou understood the situation, her face instantly softened, and she asked.
"Well, I ...... I'm 19 years old, studying art secondary school, and just graduated last year. Sister, I was blind just now, I'm sorry, I won't call other people's aunts casually in the future! ”
Seeing that Qin Lanzhou's complexion softened, the words of dumplings gradually became neat.
He introduced his own situation, Qin Lanzhou heard that he was studying an art secondary school, and then he understood Master Sun's intention to let him learn this industry, after all, if you want to do a good job in this industry, you must have a certain art foundation and aesthetic concepts.
"Okay, then you wait here for a while, Master Sun and Master Zhao will come over later, and when they arrive, I will make specific arrangements for you."
Qin Lanzhou nodded, she pointed to the sofa area on the side of the store, and motioned for the dumplings to sit there and wait for a while.
Dumplings heard Qin Lanzhou say this, as if relieved, immediately walked in the direction of the sofa, as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and start playing online games......
The children of the present ...... Qin Lanzhou looked at this scene and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"It's only been half a month, and the Molan Workshop has already found two masters and an apprentice? It seems that this year, the Molan Workshop has a lot to offer! ”
After hearing the words, Song Jinyu suddenly said happily.
Originally, during the Chinese New Year, he went to several old friends of his father Song Zhihuan to persuade them to join the Molan Workshop.
But his father's old friends now have a certain prestige in Sioux City, and either the conditions are too high, or they are unwilling to move from Sioux City.
He didn't find a suitable master for Qin Lanzhou, but he didn't expect that it was just a New Year's job, and the Molan Workshop actually got two masters......
"Song Jinyu, didn't you open the door tomorrow? Why are you here today? ”
Qin Lanzhou had the leisure to pay attention to Song Jinyu, seeing that Song Jinyu was wearing a black casual suit, still graceful and handsome, her heart moved slightly, and her cold eyes instantly revealed a little bit of expectation......
However, I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and Qin Lanzhou suddenly realized that the more she looked at Song Jinyu, the more she felt that he was pleasing to the eye?
