Many people have heard of this guy who bought the cocoon at half price, but they have never seen a real person, and they are full of curiosity.

Master Cao naturally heard those comments, and after this time, with the help of this foreigner, the fame of their Cao Family Silk Workshop could naturally be raised to a higher level, and the reason for this was of course because the annual Cocoon City was coming soon.

Silk merchants from all over the world will gather here, although they Fengshan County is a small county, but when it comes to the distribution center of raw silk, they are the only ones.

Isn't there a folk song that says, Fengshan is born, six pans are cooked, and Jiangyang's silk armor is the world.

This shows that Fengshan's status is also very important in the silk industry.

Although the Cao family is said to be one of the best silk mills in Fengshan County, if you really talk about it, the Cao family silk workshop is only the top ten at most, and it is still the tenth at the bottom.

If Lu Jian'an's competition is used this time to push the prestige of the Cao family up, then maybe after this cocoon city, the Cao family silk workshop will be able to move forward a few steps.

This Master Cao is a side branch of the Cao family, and he also wants to make a resounding reputation for himself in this way.

As soon as I heard about the competition, someone had already come forward, and everyone liked to watch this kind of competition like smashing the field, and who in this line of work has not seen a few competitions.

The competition is to see the liveliness, everyone likes it, and the people of Fengshan County, who have no entertainment activities, are tired of this kind of liveliness.

"Okay, come on, come on, my silk shop is next to the grocery store, recently I Zhao Lao Qian will do a host, two masters to the silk workshop competition, everyone who wants to see the results are coming, and then welcome ah." Boss Zhao, a silk mill owner next to him, warmly beckoned the big guy to go over to his silk mill together.

Master Cao raised his leg and was about to leave, but was stopped by a cold voice.

"Wait, Master Cao has something to say."

"Why do you want to repent? Then admit your mistake, our Cao family silk workshop is not a vexatious person, and will not do unreasonable things, but from now on, your Lu family cannot do silk reeling business in our Fengshan County. Master Cao naturally thought that Lu Jian'an was afraid, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Jian'an couldn't lift his shoulders! The master who can't be mentioned in his hand, such a result is naturally predestined.

"Regret is not! In the next though not only! But he is also a trustworthy person, but stop Master Cao! It's because since the competition is a competition, it is natural to be fair. Lu Jian'an was stubborn, and as soon as she came, she was arched out as a bird, and she was not ready to become famous.

But the arrow has to be sent.

If she is bullied, she will not take a step back and be slapped in the face.

"Fair? Do you think it's unfair? ”

Master Cao thought that he had heard the Arabian Nights, and some people said so, he really met a thief boldly.

"That's natural, everyone, I lost in this silk reeling competition, Master Cao asked me not to engage in silk reeling trading, but what if I win?"

Since he wanted to compete, Lu Jian'an decided to maximize his benefits.

"If you lose, naturally your Lu family will reel your silk casually, and we can't control it." Master Cao's answer was straightforward, quite a bit of a tendency to swallow mountains and rivers.

"That's not fair! Master Cao, think about it yourself, I lost! I can't do silk reeling business in Fengshan anymore in this life, but if I win, I just continue to do my business, which is inevitably a little suspicious of empty gloves and white wolves! ”

Master Cao thought about it like this, and it really seemed that he was taking advantage of it, "Okay, if I lose, these five apprentices will give you the contract of sale for free, how about it, compared to me, I will exchange one for five, and you will take advantage." ”

Although he thinks that he can't lose, no matter how he says that he has been immersed in silk reeling for nearly ten years, although he doesn't dare to say that he is one of the best, he can be regarded as a capable person among the silk reeling masters.

"Since it's a competition, naturally there are wins and losses, and if I lose, I naturally won't touch the bowl of rice from now on, but if I win, Master Cao can really do it, and the deeds of these five apprentices can be given to me?" Lu Jian'an thought about it, what he lacked was people.

Apprentices are also people, the relationship between apprentices and masters in this era is similar to the relationship between father and son, once apprenticeship, it is the same as adopting a godson and daughter, there are strict institutional constraints, and the hierarchy is very strict.

A teacher for one day and a father for life.

And even their parents can not surpass the status of the master, this strict hierarchy is derived from the master's mastery of the skills passed down from generation to generation, once the craft of eating is passed on to you, you are the master's son, otherwise the master who is willing to pass on his craft to outsiders, that is not one more person who grabs the job with himself.

If you have learned other people's skills, you will naturally have to retire like a son, and the master's power of life and death is stricter than that of the father and the son, and the son has to die.

This is protected by the law, once the master goes to the yamen to sue the apprentice, then the apprentice will be exiled for 3,000 miles, and the descendants will no longer be allowed to apprentice within three generations, and since then the road of learning the craft has been cut off, either your children and grandchildren will take the imperial examination, or your children and grandchildren will take the road of martial arts, or they will be pawns, but within three generations, they will not be able to touch the silk reeling related industry, and no one will be willing to accept the descendants of such a treacherous apprentice.

Of course, the master's rights are infinitely magnified, that is to say, the apprentice is equivalent to the master's private property, and the master can dissolve the relationship with the apprentice and expel the apprentice from the master, which is allowed, but once the apprentice defects to the master, it is a very serious crime.

In other words, unilateral rights and interests are well protected.

Master Cao said with a smile, "Naturally, these five apprentices are just apprentices, but they are not the introductory disciples of our Cao Family Silk Workshop. ”

The implication is that these people are not even apprentices, at most they just walk to the threshold, step in, and if they can't get in, it's not necessarily.

The five apprentices were in a hurry, they came to the name of the Cao family silk workshop, especially three of the five people were poor, and they had some talent, so they had to sell themselves as apprentices to reduce the burden on the family.

The remaining two people are also from small silk households! It was for the craftsmanship of the Cao family's silk workshop, as an apprentice, and after boiling out to learn the skills, they could help their own silk reeling.

If they lose and follow this Lu Jian'an, then their future will not be bleak all the way, and what future will there be.

"Master Cao, I'm ......"

The two apprentices looked embarrassed, their own family was not to work as a small laborer for an unknown person.

"Don't worry! Don't you still believe in my Master Cao's ability, you can't lose. ”

Master Cao is full of confidence.
