There are three hardships in life, supporting the boat, striking iron, and selling tofu.

After the divine punishment, the craftsman profession in the Zhongyuan world could not develop at first, largely because the forging and manufacturing industry was too tiring and hard, working in front of the high-temperature furnace every day, being roasted, sweating like rain, breathing the poisonous gas of various mineral incineration, even if the threshold was low, there were not enough apprentices to learn forging.

It was only later that high-level craftsmen forged high-grade weapons, and a large number of them were purchased by the military, that the high-level craftsmen had surplus food in their hands, and gradually summarized a set of craftsmen's quick manuals, which greatly increased the proportion of craftsmen getting started, improved the working environment, and improved the treatment, and the poor people rushed to send their children as apprentices.

Enough low-level apprentices provided surplus labor, and high-level craftsmen were no longer confined by manual labor, their creativity was liberated, and then they created richer, more beautiful, more powerful, and more useful equipment, and the status of craftsmen was unprecedentedly improved, which in turn drove the determination of ordinary people to become craftsmen.

This is a virtuous circle, the craftsman profession has developed rapidly in a hundred years, and now there are still ninth-level masters, and it is said that there are still several ninth-level masters who plan to impact the tenth-level gods and become contemporary gods comparable to Luban Mozi's ancestors!

Look at the self-cherished literati again, how miserable they are......

"Well, I'm an apprentice craftsman now, don't mention any literati or not!"

Yue Heng cleaned up his mood, and after finishing today's preparations, he lined up with the other apprentices to accept the second senior brother's lecture.

The second senior brother standing in front of the crowd had a high-pitched voice, raised his fist high, and the spit stars flew straight away. The rhetoric of military training inspired these low-level apprentices.

The people standing in the second row couldn't see it at all. Yue Heng is the same. Hearing the voice, he didn't see anyone, so he simply pulled a kid next to him and asked: "Xiao Dunzi, I've been here for two days, and I haven't even seen the master once, you introduce me in advance, so as not to meet me and not know each other." ”

Xiao Dunzi saw that no one noticed the two of them, and explained in a low voice: "There are two masters in our Seigong Workshop, one of whom is your uncle Luo Cangtian. The other is Chen Haibao. ”

"Haibao is here, hehe, this name is really earthy!" Yue Heng almost blurted out, almost laughing, scaring Xiao Dunzi into a cold sweat.

Xiaodunzi is like him, short and stocky, kind-hearted and honest, timid and afraid.

As soon as he heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately covered Yue Heng's mouth, and peeked left and right to see if anyone had noticed this: "Luo Yimei, be quiet! The second senior brother's name is Li Qing, and he is Master Chen's proud disciple." He's a cautious fellow, if you let him hear that. Beware of him deliberately making things difficult for you! And Master Chen is the same, he is the most mean to people, and he can't listen to others say bad things about him, and he will definitely retaliate!"

In addition, there is another sentence that Xiao Dunzi didn't say, in fact, he really wanted to say, you laugh at other people's names, in fact, Luo Yimei's name is not very good!

Yue Heng smiled and didn't refute, Xiao Dunzi thought that he didn't pay attention to it, and whispered a reminder not to say this kind of thing in the future, and continued to introduce.

There are two masters in the Seiko workshop, Luo Cangtian and Chen Haibao usually don't obey each other, Luo Cangtian is a fourth-level military craftsman, mainly attacking Luban skills, good at forging offensive weapons, and has served in the military unit of Luohui Island for four years, has rich combat experience, was won over by the Dust and Smoke Pavilion five years ago, and the salary is extremely high.

And Chen Haibao is a craftsman who has been promoted within the Dust and Smoke Pavilion, and the above three generations have been sold to the owner of the Dust and Smoke Pavilion as laborers, this Chen Haibao showed his talent as a craftsman when he was a child, but he was poor and unable to support it, he also sold himself to the pavilion master as a slave, and he stayed in the low-level apprentice position for more than ten years before he was noticed by the above, discovered his craftsman talent, and finally cultivated.

is also a fourth-level craftsman level, Chen Haibao is good at Mozi skills, good at defensive shield armor and forging of large-scale city-defending weapons, because of different majors, the relationship with Luo Cangtian is very general, the two are quite harmonious on the surface, but they look down on each other in private, and often make some small trips.

"It seems that Uncle I am an outsider, not liked by some people, and some people are not as good as others, but the background is very big?" Yue Heng laughed in a low voice.

Xiao Dunzi snorted and scratched the back of his head, as if it was so reasonable, but why did it sound so awkward?

"Li Qing is the second senior brother, who is the senior brother?" Yue Heng asked again.

Xiao Dunzi rolled his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Master Luo didn't mention it to you?"

Yue Heng's face remained unchanged: "I've been in the countryside all the time, and my uncle really hasn't said anything about here." ”

Xiao Dunzi said: "Master Luo's apprentice is the senior brother, called Yue Wanli, but some time ago, Master Luo took the senior brother out and hasn't come back yet, so the second senior brother took the lead in the past few days. ”

Yue Heng understood, at that time, besieging the fish baby beast, Luo Cangtian seemed to hear someone shouting master when he fell into the sea, it should be this Yue Wanli, but unfortunately he also died!

Just after the Li Qing encouragement meeting was held, the apprentices started work in turn, step by step.

"Luo Yimei! Come here!" shouted in a rough voice in front of him, Yue Heng watched for a long time, and when the apprentices were gone, he saw the second apprentice Li Qing staring at him.

Yue Heng trotted over and asked, "What is the matter with the second senior brother looking for me?"

Li Qing looked Yue Heng up and down, his eyes seemed to be able to cut people, he walked around Yue Heng, and pinched Yue Heng's arms and legs a few times halfway.

"How many days have you been here? Do you know the rules here? Little dunzi, you dare to be lazy, why don't you get out of here and get to work!"

Li Qing scolded Xiao Dunzi who was eavesdropping on the side, Xiao Dunzi ran away, and looked back at Yue Heng sympathetically, he knew that the second senior brother Li Qing was coming to teach the newcomer a lesson, or a sworn enemy, wouldn't this be rectified to death?

Yue Heng replied, "Second Senior Brother, I've been here for two days. ”

Li Qing raised his head and his nostrils turned to the sky: "It's been two days, and no one has told you the rules here?"

Yue Heng pretended to be stupid and said, "No one really told me to pinch, what are the rules?"

Li Qing sneered: "Okay, no one told you, then I'll tell you about it!First, the newcomer has to wash the toilet for a month, second, pick a month's water, third, chop firewood for a month, and fourth, ......."

What is the fourth? Li Qing sighed, as if he had forgotten, and stopped.

Yue Heng didn't even have to think about it, just by looking at the other party's expression, he knew that these bullshit rules were all made up casually by the other party, just to make it difficult for him, to embarrass him, and to force him to get out.

“...... What are you glaring at me trying to do? Luo Yimei, I won't talk about the fourth, if you have done the first three satisfactorily, then the fourth and fifth I can be the master and let you go, and give it to the next newcomer!"

Li Qing was triumphant, pinched Yue Heng's arm again, and said: "Not bad, yo, it's very strong, it's most suitable for carrying water and chopping wood, aren't you a fisherman in the countryside, why are you stunned? Don't you go to work yet!" )
