Fengshan County.

Every year in the spring, people from all over the country who want to learn the craft of silk reeling come from various villages with their children, and a famous street in Fengshan County is called Mingshi Street.

This street was created specifically for apprentices.

At this time of the year, each silk mill naturally only needs to set up a table here, and post a notice to recruit apprentices at the back, even if it is an enrollment profile, this is all alive.

The adults who came to apprentice led the children here to be picked and picked by the masters of the silk mills, looking at the fingers, looking at the body, and looking at the face, just like the selection of livestock in the mule and horse market over there.

Of course, there are also people who have a heart, and they will take a look at it one by one with their children, and those famous silk mills are naturally more popular.

Of course, whether their own children can be selected or not, of course, is beating the drum in their hearts, but if they are selected, it is their only chance to jump out of the farm.

If you can't choose, you can go to see it one by one, maybe there are those small workshops that take a fancy to it.

In the end, there is no loss.

When Lu Jian'an and the others arrived, there were already many stalls recruiting apprentices on the street.

Fengshan County only has such an opportunity to recruit apprentices in March of the year, and after this opportunity, we can only wait for next year.

Both the silk mill and these families also saw this opportunity and worked hard to find the right person.

Lu Jian'an took a look, there is a special shop, which is set up to recruit apprentices, and people can rent you a table, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are also ready.

They didn't bring it anyway.

rented a table, and Li Zhilin and Xu Mengshan carried it out.

Lu Jian'an borrowed the store's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a notice for the recruitment of apprentices in the Lu Family Silk Workshop.

The young man was very eye-catching, and directly made a paste and pasted it on the wall outside.

Xu Mengshan paid 20 yuan.

I secretly said in my heart, this store is really good at doing business, which is 20 yuan a day casually.

It's a book of profits.

At the end of this day, they really accepted more than 20 apprentices, and Lu Jian'an looked at them carefully one by one, they had to be delicate, neat and smart.

The twenty apprentices asked for ten boys and ten girls.

The main reason is that he has considerations, in order to plan for the balance of men and women in the future, whether it is silk reeling or brocade, it is easy to cultivate mature hands in the future.

And she also asked about the situation in every family.

All you want is a clean family, and the family is a child born in a poor family.

On the contrary, Lu Jian'an didn't ask for the children of the Little Silk Fang family, mainly because these families sent their children for an impure purpose.

Although the apprentices have signed a contract, it is equivalent to selling themselves to the master.

But this gift of birth and nurturing can never be abandoned.

After that, when I came to the door, it was not my disciples who were embarrassed.

Rather than that, it is better to find these poor people.

Relatively content.

And in order for his family to have a long-term income, he didn't dare to come to the door and have anything to do with the children.

To put it bluntly, these people have no way to recruit children, and those big silk shops in Fengshan County recruit people, and the amount is limited, after all, they recruit every year, and they recruit three or five a year.

It's like their family, one trick is so much.

Those who can't find a way out of the way are cheaper for him.

The children recruited enough, went to the yamen to set up a contract, and saved the file.

Xu Mengshan took his newly acquired juniors and sisters to wait at the ox cart.

Lu Jian'an and Li Zhilin went to Luoma City, and now they have the money in their hands.

He pondered the idea of buying a carriage.

After all, the speed of the horse-drawn cart is fast, and it is convenient to do things, which is better than the slow and leisurely ox cart.

I've been thinking about changing shotguns for a long time.

Business needs speed, ox carts are either bad, or slow, in an emergency, isn't it necessary to stop cooking.

Although the carriage is not so fast.

But compared to the ox cart, it is heaven and earth.

Lu Jian'an thought of the future development! A carriage must.

Li Zhilin accompanied him to the mule and horse market.

Last time he found Xu Yuan in the oxcart market, this time Li Zhilin himself is a veteran, when he used to dart, the carriage was served by himself, and he took care of the horses for a long time, which is very skillful.

After walking around the mule and horse market, Lu Jian'an didn't understand, and he felt good about which horse he saw.

Li Zhilin later came to see a dark and gloomy high-headed horse, with a smooth and slippery back, looking energetically is spirit, snorting from time to time, or digging the ground with his hooves, it looks very unruly like that.

Lu Jian'an asked suspiciously, "This one?" I feel that the temperament is too wild to train! ”

His carriage must be safety first, and there is no reason why he will die before he enjoys the glory and wealth.

Li Zhilin apologized, "Sir, this horse looks like a wild one, but it is a grassland horse, this kind of horse has good endurance and few illnesses, the important thing is that once this horse is tamed, it is very easy to use, you can rest assured!" The villain promises to tame the horse and can't let you worry about it, and besides.

This carriage villain has just seen it, it should have been used by the rich and noble, although it looks old, but the wood of the car is good wood, that is, it is not easy to find wood for money, this material is strong and durable, as long as it is polished, put on some tung oil, it is guaranteed to be the same as new. ”

Li Zhilin is sharp-eyed.

Lu Jian'an nodded, he was a layman, so he naturally listened to others.

"Okay, ask the price!"

Li Zhilin has already gone up to inquire about the price.

There was no one in front of the carriage, and Lu Jian'an was strange.

As a result, Li Zhilin screamed, and a man came out of the back of the car, looking at his early twenties, he was very young, and he was too young, and there was an obvious scar on his face.

When he saw Li Zhilin and Lu Jian'an, he didn't smile, and asked angrily, "You want to buy a car?" Three hundred taels of silver, no two prices. ”

The stiff tone made Lu Jian'an laugh.

This man is in business.

I'm not afraid of scaring away customers.

"No two prices? I looked at your carriage and no one asked, but I was scared by your price? ”

How can this year be a different price! Not making a counteroffer is not something that a fool can do.

The man glared.

"I said that the price is not two, if you want to buy it sincerely, if my carriage is not short of money to treat my eldest brother, I will not sell it, my horse is brought from outside the plug, originally four horses, along the way, my brother is sick.

I have sold three horses for medical treatment, and the last one is with a car, and if there is a way, I will not sell it. ”

This man's mouth is an authentic official dialect, but it is also interpolated with a local accent.

"Oh, since your brother is sick, why is this disease that sells so many horses, and he still can't look good?"

Lu Jian'an was strange, 300 taels of silver was too much, but he was still a little suspicious of the horse's origin.

Can this horse, especially such a good one, be sold casually?

There are not many horses on the market.

Buying a horse is naturally possible, but she doesn't want to cause trouble.
