Chapter Ninety-Six: Apprenticeship
It's not easy to learn a craft these days. The craftsman will generally only teach the craft to relatives and friends, or the child's parents have a good relationship with the craftsman, then the craftsman will also accept the child as an apprentice.
If you worship the master, you will not learn the craft immediately, but you will have to work for the master for three years, and after three years, it is possible to get a few cents of wages.
And in the past three years, if you live in the master's house, you have to pay your own rations.
In addition, during the New Year's holidays, the master should be treated with the highest standard, or given gifts, or invited home for dinner.
The reason why Gao Mingcheng dared to come to the door to say this was because he saw that Gao Shouwang had a good impression of him, and often said good things about himself in the village.
As for Dong Feixia, Gao Mingcheng asked her to make clothes several times, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Gao Shouwang responded for Dong Feixia, which caused Dong Feixia to glare at him, but he didn't refute and refuse, and said gently: "That's okay, you will call her over tomorrow morning." ”
Dong Feixia personally agreed, and Gao Mingcheng was completely relieved, but he put forward another idea: "Auntie, being an apprentice for three years is too long, see if you can teach faster, a year later, I want Duomei to go to the county clothing store to work." ”
This time, even Gao Shouwang felt that Gao Mingcheng had made inches.
Who hasn't been able to learn the skills of the master for three years without being able to learn the craft?
Seeing Gao Shouwang and Dong Feixia's displeasure, Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Uncle, aunt, I can pay the tuition!" As long as you can get Duomei out of the school quickly, money is not a problem. ”
In later generations, if you want to learn a craft and only learn a superficial one, then just look for tutorials on the Internet; If you want to study systematically, then go to a technical school and enroll in a three-month crash course, which will allow you to learn simple cooking skills, tailoring, etc.
Gao Mingcheng didn't want to let many aesthetic artists for three years because he didn't think there was a need to waste time like this. In the context of rapid economic development, how many opportunities do you have to miss to spend three years learning a craft and then opening a clothing store or garment workshop?
Dong Feixia is still displeased, she learned the craft from her aunt, because she was young, she was apprenticed at her aunt's house for five years before she graduated.
In the past five years, I have naturally not been learning crafts, but doing chores, doing housework, and even helping my aunt's family take care of the children.
It was not easy to learn, and then I became a tailor myself, taking orders from several nearby villages, and slowly making some money.
But now Gao Mingcheng has let many beauties only learn for one year, which means that in this year, they are basically learning crafts, rather than doing odd jobs for the master's family.
Anyone else who said this, Dong Feixia would scold people away.
Gao Shouwang was also embarrassed, he looked at Gao Mingcheng and was willing to help him, but now if he wants to teach the craft, he has to listen to his daughter-in-law.
Dong Feixia pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, but the first thing she said was that it had nothing to do with apprenticeship.
"Are there many clothing stores in the county? Is business good? ”
Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not much, but the business is very good." There is a clothing store that takes the goods from Yangcheng, which are not available in our county, and sells very well, and a coat costs three months' wages for a worker. ”
Gao Shouwang's eyes widened instantly, and he said in disbelief: "Three months' salary? Can anyone buy this? ”
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "No rich person is bad anywhere!" There are fewer people who spend three months' salary to buy a piece of clothing, but there are more people who are willing to spend a month's salary to buy clothes! ”
Never underestimate a woman's beauty-loving nature!
There is a saying - a woman's wardrobe is never one less piece of clothing!
"It's still the people in the county who have money." Dong Feixia said with envy, she is a tailor, and naturally she has a certain understanding of the clothing market.
When she went to the county to get the fabric before, she found that there were some fresh styles in the county, and she originally wanted to buy one and come back and dismantle it, take it to make a board, and then do it, but in the end she didn't do it.
Mainly, the people in the county are fashionable, but the people in the village are fashionable.
Which fabric is worn and durable, which fabric is worn, and which cutting method saves fabric, then use which cutting method.
"Okay, you give eighty-eight yuan for tuition, and give her another gift during the New Year's holidays, and I will teach her for a year." In the end, Dong Feixia relented.
"Hey, thank you so much, auntie, you're so nice!" Gao Mingcheng happily blew a rainbow fart at her.
Dong Feixia only charges eighty-eight yuan, which is not much, which can be regarded as auspicious.
The tuition fee for Gao Mingli to study in junior high school costs 17 yuan for a semester and 102 yuan for three years, but after you finish junior high school, the school will not guarantee that you have a job.
But if you learn the craft of tailoring, it is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl.
"Then I'll bring Tomei over tomorrow for a formal apprenticeship." Gao Mingcheng said happily, sent the hare he brought, and said, "Uncle, if you want to eat hare and pheasant in the future, just talk to me!" ”
"Hey, good!" Gao Shouwang also smiled happily.
He knew that Gao Mingcheng had a special skill in making hares and pheasants, and he didn't eat less on weekdays.
Now that Dong Feixia has accepted many beauties as apprentices, he can also eat meat with him.
After Gao Mingcheng left, Gao Shouwang didn't forget to praise Dong Feixia: "Your apprentice has received it well!" In the future, there will be no shortage of meat to eat at home. ”
Dong Feixia pursed her lips and smiled, and the only trace of mustard in her heart was gone.
Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng brought a lot of beauty to learn from him.
In addition to the tuition fee of eighty-eight yuan, Gao Mingcheng also gave a ginseng and a pheasant, which can be said to be very high.
Many beauties were a little nervous throughout the whole process, although they were in the same village and knew each other, but after learning art, the relationship between the two was different.
Again, she didn't expect Gao Mingcheng to spend so much money in order to let her apprentice learn art!
This made her both moved and anxious.
She was afraid that she would not be able to learn well and let Gao Mingcheng's money be spent in vain.
From this day on, many beauties officially became Dong Feixia's apprentices and followed Dong Feixia to do things. This made many people in the village particularly envious, and some people asked why Dong Feixia accepted many beauties as apprentices, and what many beauties gave them.
Fortunately, Gao Shouwang and his family were very tight-lipped, and when others asked, they didn't say much.
But there are no secrets in the village, many beautiful families are poor like that, she definitely doesn't have the ability to apprentice herself, which must be Gao Mingcheng's strength.
And Gao Mingcheng put this matter behind him after helping many Mei successfully learn art, because he had more things to do.
