The woman then asked, "What are they doing here?"

The village chief said: "They asked about the situation in Jinzhulin and asked if we had only been supplying the Lian family. ”

A man and a woman looked at each other again, their eyes showing a deep look of wariness.

The village chief said, "You just asked us to ship 20,000 pieces a month, and to tell you the truth, we can do this amount." But if the Qi family also wants to ask for broken gold wire, we can't do it. ”

He didn't say it thoroughly, but compared with the strength of the Qi family and Jinzhu Village, of course the two people of the Lian family knew it.

They were silent for a moment, and the woman said, "You leave the matter of communicating with the Qi family to us." You don't have to worry so much, just deliver the goods according to our requirements!"

The village chief also said very simply: "Okay, this time it will be 20,000, or will it start next time?"

The woman asked, "Are there so many?"

The village chief said: "Luckily, we have a new silkier in our village, and the number has indeed increased this month. However, he was about to go to apprenticeship as an apprentice, and it was impossible for him to stay in the village for long. ”

A man and a woman were startled at the same time, and the woman asked, "Which one is it, can you let us meet it?"

The villagers went to cut bamboo early in the morning, and when they came back, the women had already prepared their meals. Chang Ming was worried about things in his heart, and after eating, he went to the vicinity of the big tree and watched from a distance. In addition to caring about the affairs of the Qi family, he was also thinking about the belt around the woman's waist - that belt, as if it could put a lot of things, could it be that this woman was also ......

He was peeking casually when he saw the village chief beckoning to him. Chang Ming was stunned for a moment, walked over quickly, and just heard the village chief introduce: "This child's name is Chang Ming, his grandfather is an old friend of our village, and he used to come to the village often. Now that his grandfather is gone, the child remains in our village. His ambition is to be a mechanic, and after a while, he will go to the city to apprentice. ”

The woman glanced at Chang Ming deeply, Chang Ming only felt that her eyes were sharp, and they were a pair of habitually focused eyes. The woman said to Chang Ming, "Stretch out your hand and I'll take a look." ”

The village chief nodded to Chang Ming, and Chang Ming really stretched out his hand. The woman stared intently. Chang Ming's fingers are slender and his hand shape is very good-looking. However, the calluses on the joints destroy this beauty somewhat, and at first glance it looks like a pair of hands that are accustomed to work.

After a long time, the woman still didn't let Chang Ming stop his hand, and Chang Ming kept holding it like this. After about ten minutes, his hand was still immovable and very steady.

The woman nodded and said, "There is potential." But whether he has talent or not, I can't see it yet. ”

The village chief said with a little pride: "Although this child is young, the craftsmanship of the silk is not bad!"

The woman seemed very interested and said, "Can you let us see?"

Chang Ming looked at her, grinned toothily and said, "I'm honored!"

He went back to the house and got his tools, and as he walked, he thought: Sure enough, the status of the mechanic in this world is really not ordinary!

He could see the attitude of these two people towards the village chief clearly, it was a polite, but condescending attitude. In their eyes, although the old man is the head of a village, being able to talk to them head-on is already their condescension. They came to talk to the village chief, and after talking about things, they absolutely turned around and left, and they would never say a word.

But as soon as they heard that they were aspiring to become an apprentice in the agency, which had not even become a reality, their attitude changed dramatically, and they felt a little more affectionate towards themselves.

Chang Ming had a feeling that if he really became an apprentice, these two people would definitely come over immediately.

He thought so in his head, but as he sat down under the tree, the expression on his face changed as soon as he picked up the knife and the bamboo pole. At this moment, all distractions disappeared in his heart, and all he had in his eyes was the knife and bamboo pole in his hand!

Everything, one pull, two shakes, long, delicate broken gold filaments appeared from the bamboo pole, pulled to the end. The whole filament is perfect, and more importantly, Chang Ming's movements are extremely weighty, as if with a specific rhythm, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.

The woman showed a surprised expression, and Chang Ming's movements did not stop, slicing down one by one, until the piece was a complete bamboo pole.

The woman had only planned to watch the demonstration, but she didn't expect it to take a full fifteen minutes. She was so oblivious that she completely forgot to interrupt him!

It wasn't until Chang Ming finished the last one, with a bunch of filaments and a mottled bamboo meat in his hand, that the woman breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why don't you go to the city to take the exam right away?"

This means that Brother Ming can definitely pass? A touch of joy flashed across the village chief's face, but Chang Ming seriously raised the bamboo meat in his left hand: "Because my kung fu is not yet home." You see, there's a lot of bamboo scraps on it......"

In the eyes of women, his ability is already very strong, but I didn't expect Chang Ming to be dissatisfied!

She looked at Chang Ming deeply, and suddenly introduced herself: "My name is Lian Yingxue, and I am an intermediate mechanic. ”

Chang Ming's eyes lit up - sure enough, he guessed correctly, this woman is indeed a mechanic!

The village chief was a little shocked, first, after dealing with this woman so many times, he didn't know her real name, but he didn't expect that she simply told Chang Ming like this;

Lian Yingxue said: "Your ability has basically reached the standard of an apprentice. But if you want to take the exam further, I don't think you need to force it. But when the time comes, you've passed the test, and I hope you'll come to our house. Upgrading from an apprentice to a junior master, or even higher, requires a lot of money and materials, and it is difficult to do it on your own! If you are willing to join the Lianjia, the Lianjia can provide all kinds of help according to your ability and contribution!"

There are several meanings in her words.

According to her judgment, Chang Ming's ability basically meets the standard of an apprentice, but whether he can pass the test or not, Lian Yingxue is still uncertain. Otherwise, she wouldn't let Chang Ming go to Lian's house after the test was over and became an apprentice.

In addition, as the village chief said, it takes a lot of money for the apprentice to continue to be promoted, and a family may be able to support it, but it is difficult for a single person. However, even if you go to Lianjia, you don't have an iron job bowl, whether you can get what you want, you still have to work hard and even work hard.

But this is normal, so Chang Ming also agreed very cheerfully: "Well, I'll think about it." Let's wait until I pass the test!"

Just thinking about it, Lian Yingxue was a little dissatisfied. However, a person who has not even reached the level of an apprentice and only has potential is not worth pestering her too much. So she just nodded and said, "Well, you can think about it." ”

As she spoke, she turned to the village chief and said, "Please count the number of broken gold wires again, how many you have this time, and we will collect as much as we want!"

Obviously, her attitude was two points more polite, obviously for Chang Ming's sake.

Tsk, the mechanic is really amazing......

The flying wings flew away again, and the village chief looked at the winged shadows in the distance, and muttered: "Why did you suddenly increase the number of goods received, could it be that something is going to happen to Zihuai City?"

He thought for a moment and shook his head: "Don't worry about these for now, everyone, hurry up, get started! Hurry up and do a little more and make more money!"

"Hey!" Voices came from all sides of the village, and the villagers shouted yes together.

Chang Ming has slipped a total of more than 1,200 pieces of new bamboo silk in the past few days, in exchange for more than 12,000 copper, that is, twelve silver coins. The income of these few days alone is enough for a month's income of a family of five in the village.

With the goal of apprenticeship and the promotion of money, Chang Ming worked harder.

He began to weave the filaments day and night, and the broken gold threads flowed out of his hands like water, and into the hands of every household. Under his leadership, the speed of processing bamboo silk has also increased further.

The speed of wiping silk is limited, and the amount of bamboo silk that can be stirred at each time is also limited. Everyone starts to spin in a row, otherwise there will be a rare situation where the processing speed is not as fast as the filament.

Chang Ming is extremely focused, in fact, although he works day and night, it is not continuous. After each piece of bamboo stick, he would stop and stare at the remaining bamboo meat carefully.

Every time, there will be some mottled bamboo skin left on the bamboo meat, which in his opinion, is a sign of craftsmanship.

How can we be finer, faster, and with less residue?

He kept thinking about what he could improve on his movements, and continued to improve the next time.

Now, he still maintains the speed of fifteen per piece, but the number of bamboo wires that can be slipped has increased to forty-five, which has completely surpassed Lao Ping's decades of craftsmanship.

Three days later, when he stopped again, he suddenly screamed.

He only felt that his wrist was like a pinprick in a needle, and the pain was terrible, not only his wrist, but also his neck and waist hurt together, and even his thighs looked like they were about to cramp.

Working day and night, one movement was maintained for too long, and fatigue accumulated on him bit by bit, and finally turned into pain.

He still lives in the village chief's house, and the village chief was anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly called Lao Ping over.

Lao Ping was silent, pressed his knee against Chang Ming's waist, and pulled his arm back. Chang Ming screamed in shock, and then, with his other arm, two legs, and neck, Chang Ming screamed five times in succession, and suddenly felt that his body was much looser. Although there was still a faint tingling, compared to just now, it was already like heaven and hell.

Lao Ping let go of his hand, straightened up, looked at him condescendingly, and suddenly said, "You can't be a mechanic!"

Chang Ming was startled, and glared at Lao Ping suddenly, with doubt in his eyes!
