Wang Lian, the youngest in the family, has read more than 300 words, which is already comparable to Wang Lizheng, and if she continues, Wang Lian is afraid that she will become a "female talent" in the village.

Xie Lanhua slowly understood that Liu Wan said that there is no need to chop wood and cut grass, and there are many other things that can be done.

She doesn't see what she likes in particular, but her desire to read is strong.

She also hopes that one day she can be like Wang Lian and be able to read the script.

The stories Liu Wan told at the end of the course every day made her feel even more eye-opening.

Xie Lanhua felt that she was really right to marry the Wang family, Wang Jing was a good husband, and the family atmosphere of the Wang family also made her happy.

After getting married, Wang Jing's artisan workshop expanded again, recruiting 20 apprentices from the village at one time.

There is no way, Wang Jing has more and more jobs, and the original 10 or so guys are no longer enough.

After the opening of "Eat North and South", many people in Gukou Town liked the decoration style of "Eat North and South", and after inquiring, they knew that Wang Jing did it, so they all named Wang Jing to decorate.

Wang Jing never expected that decoration could also become a profitable business for him.

If you don't make money, you are a bastard, so you naturally have to take the job.

Therefore, with the original abacus, water wheels, villagers' furniture orders, and the wood parts for decoration, the original manpower was simply too busy, and he could only continue to recruit a large number of apprentices.

As an apprentice in Wang Jing's craftsman's workshop, he can now have a stable income of 30 yuan a day, and he can also learn a craft, and everyone wants to learn a craft from Wang Jing.

It's just that Wang Jing has rarely recruited people before.

As soon as they heard the news that Wang Jing was going to recruit apprentices, the young people in the village were in an uproar and ran to sign up as soon as possible.

Some people were afraid that they would not be able to report their names, so they brought the elders of the family to Liu Wan, trying to compete for a place by pulling relationships and climbing relatives.

Is there any way to make money in the countryside?

In addition to farming, going up to the mountains to chop firewood, selling some grain, vegetables grown in the field, eggs, there is no other way to make money.

The largest income a villager can save in a year is to kill the pig that has been raised for a year.

Therefore, Wang Jing is here, he can earn 30 yuan a day, and he can pay it in full and on time, and he can go to work all year round, which is better than anything else.

For a while, everyone in the village took their own cubs, and almost didn't step on the threshold of the Wang family, and even Xie Tietou received many invitations because he was Wang Jing's father-in-law.

As a result, the number of applicants exceeded 40, and Wang Jing was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Recruitment has become his trouble, they are all villagers who are related to their hometowns, they don't look up and see each other, if they are all recruited, he will not be able to eat so many people for a while.

But if you recruit this or not, you will definitely offend people again.

If you close your eyes and recruit people who are close to your relatives, some people are not good in quality and are not easy to use, and if you come in, you will be a mess, and it will be a loss for him.

In the end, Wang Jing could only go to Liu Wan with a sad face.

Liu Wan also noticed this problem.

The disadvantage of a small place is that everyone knows each other, and I don't know if there are any relatives in private, and if you offend one person, you may secretly offend a large number of people.

Liu Wan thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with an idea, and said to Wang Jing:

"It's better to test them with three questions about carpentry, give them a grade, and whoever does a good job in carpentry will be admitted to the top 20 scores.

As for the people who score, you don't need to go into battle in person, just ask Wang Lizheng to score with the two respected clan elders in the village.

Choosing people based on their scores is the fairest and least offending way. ”

Wang Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately understood the benefits of this practice, so that he would not easily offend people, and he said happily:

"Mother, you still have an idea."

Pan Heng's problem for a few days was solved, and Wang Jing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Wan doesn't have much to do, this is the experience of the market, the civil service exam, this is the trick used, it is easy to come by, it is a very simple thing.

Wang Jing got Liu Wan's strategy, so he invited Wang Lizheng and two respected clan elders in the village to jointly set up a judging group.

The name of the jury was also given by Liu Wan, and the jury scored it, and the final decision was made to admit 20 apprentices on the spot.

In this way, the pressure shifted to Wang Lizheng and the two clan elders.

There are three questions in the exam given by Wang Jing, all of which are closely related to the basic work of carpentry.

The first question is: sawing a piece of wood 5 cm long, it is required to be sawn in a straight line that can pop out of the ink line, the straighter the saw, the higher the score

The second question is: Dig a square hole in a piece of wood, and also play the square with ink lines, whoever chisels more squarely, the higher the score;

The last question is: use an axe to cut a piece of wooden deed.

Wooden deeds are very important in carpenter's work, when two pieces of wood need to be spliced together, there will always be some gaps in the holes, which are not tight, and then the wooden deeds need to come to strongly intervene and fix.

A good carpenter wields an axe, like a flying kitchen knife, and can easily cut a piece of wood into a precise piece of wood to play a fixed role.

These three questions may seem simple, but they are all basic skills of carpenters, and for carpenters, it is easy.

But it is not easy for young people who have never worked as carpenters.

When they actually got started, they realized that carpentry was not as simple as they thought.

Chopping with an axe or sawing with a saw is not an easy task.

Most of the people who came to the selection were sawing wood for the first time, and the saw did not listen to the control and could not be sawed in a straight line at all.

As for the drills of square holes, many people don't know how to carry them, and when they chisel down, they directly chisel the wood to crack.

As soon as they got started, everyone understood that this job was different from what they imagined, and it was not easy to earn 30 yuan a day.

In the end, the jury led by Wang Lizheng judged the scores of 40 people, and the top 20 points were successfully selected.

Everyone was also convinced, thinking that this way of recruiting people was very interesting and fair, and no one complained and dissatisfied with Wang Jing because of this.

There are also some young men who take advantage of this judgment to find that their strength is not good, and even find that they are not interested in doing carpentry work, so they do not squeeze their heads to fight.

In this way, the results are very good, and everyone is happy.

Although the 20 people selected do not have a carpentry foundation, relatively speaking, the results are high, and they must have a certain talent and interest.

After Xie Lanhua married into the Wang family, she witnessed these scenes and felt that life in the Wang family was very interesting, which was different from the boring life of collecting pigweed, going up the mountain to chop firewood, and three points and one line at home every day.

Zhao saw that after her daughter married into the Wang family, her face was ruddy, her eyes were bright, and she was also very pleased, it seemed that her daughter did not marry the wrong person.
