Chapter 100: Craftsmanship is expensive

Gu Siwei was not interested, but Zheng Youcai was very interested in it, and when everyone finished talking about tomorrow and went to work, he took advantage of Tao Yisheng's rest and drinking water.

"Old Tao Tou!"

Zheng Youcai took a bowl of water for himself, added white sugar to the water and the sweetness was quite enough, and after a mouthful, Zheng Youcai wiped his mouth.

"I have a nephew who has a very good personality and is not very old, about fourteen years old, ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Tao Yisheng replied to him directly: "No!" ”

"You see it, if it doesn't work out, forget it" Zheng Youcai was a little unwilling.

Tao Yisheng didn't have that heart at all, originally he was waiting for Gu Siwei to bow down with a letter, who knew that Gu Siwei was not interested at all, he had always been proud of his ability, if he hadn't been driven out of the view, he had changed the day, and in the past, the Qipin county officials were not qualified to put on a shelf when they saw him.

Now he wants to accept someone as an apprentice to pass on the mantle, but he was actually scared.

The mood was originally not good, but now Zheng Youcai came up, isn't it unpleasant, if it was another time, Tao Yisheng would be in a good mood and would go to meet the child, but now he is not in the mood to see it at all, so he directly refutes it.

"I won't accept anyone who has parents."

Saying this, Zheng Youcai was speechless, he couldn't slaughter his own Lao Tzu Niang because his nephew and grandson wanted to apprentice.

So, Zheng Youcai drank the sugar water stupidly and continued to do his job.

Tao Yisheng rested for about five minutes, then picked up the hoe again, returned to the field, and began to gather the soil and pile up the ridges for planting sweet potatoes.

Guo Shengshou saw this scene in his eyes, came to Gu Siwei's side and said with a smile: "Old man Zheng has suffered a dumb loss here."

Gu Siwei glanced up, a little incomprehensible.

Guo Shengshou said it, and Gu Siwei understood.

"Hey, it's true, my own craft is good, how can I still learn any craft from others, isn't it holding a golden bowl and asking for food" Gu Siwei was a little incomprehensible.

Guo Shengshou directly snorted and laughed: "Siwei, do you really not know or are you talking about cool words?" ”

"How can I say anything cool, what I said is the truth, Old Man Zheng's craftsmanship can be used as a bowl of rice in the future," Gu Siwei said.

It is not easy to mix the general bamboo weaving skills, but such a craft as Zheng Youcai, it is not a matter of mixing rice and eating, when he came, it was called a bamboo weaving master, and weaving a thing was directly charged according to the size, a chair can be tens of thousands of yuan, you will not think that this thing is made up by the master himself, the master draws a draft, and the apprentices sweat and contribute.

Which master has a little brain, doesn't earn millions a year, and uses it to learn other crafts?

"Can a craftsman be considered a good craftsman to make a living? There are also expensive splashes in craftsmanship, no matter how good the contempt craftsman is, it can't be compared to a random doctor, and there is a recipe in his hand that can not get sick than the contempt craftsman, which is much better," Guo Shengshou said.

Gu Siwei smiled bitterly, how could he explain this, saying that in a few decades, if Old Man Zheng lived to that age, he would be able to cover the income of an ordinary worker if he got something?

Even if Gu Siwei dares to say it, Guo Shengshou must be believed.

What else to say, nothing to say, this matter is not clear.

"That'...... I'm still looking for something bad for Uncle Fulin? "Gu Siwei is a bit of an afterthought.

"That's not it, it's a good thing for Dezhu to learn the craft, I have the heart to help Uncle Fulin here, I only have gratitude in my heart, there is no other thought, we are close to each other, as soon as I mention that you came to Uncle Fulin, I praised it, saying that it was his fate to meet you like this...... Our family is also fateful, otherwise it is difficult to say whether we will eat enough or not."

Guo Shengshou directly praised Gu Siwei and was embarrassed.

"It's nothing, don't mention it in the future" Gu Siwei didn't want Guo Shengshou to mention this again.

Guo Shengshou smiled.

The two rested for a while and went their separate jobs.

When the sun set, everyone carried the hoe back to the old camphor tree in front of the house, and the old people took out the smoke pot, or directly rolled the cigarette with paper and smoked it.

Now the work in the field is easier than planting seedlings, mainly because the body has been arched when planting seedlings, and now at least the waist is not bent to 90 degrees, and the feeling is much better.

In a rare easy time, everyone began to talk about idle things, but they talked about the ground as they talked.

"If these fields are bumper this year, it will be terrible, Siwei, your family has to build a special house to put these grains."

Zheng Youcai took out a piece of paper from his pocket, folded it, tore it about five or six centimeters wide and ten centimeters long, and then took out a small cloth bag containing tobacco leaves from his pocket, pinched out a small piece of tobacco from it with his fingers, and sprinkled it evenly on the paper.

Rub the two ends and bite them, put them in their mouths, take out a match and light it.

"Where can we ask for so much, the villagers are all sweating when they come to work, it is impossible for me to treat all the food produced as my own, when the time comes, see how much it is down, and each family who comes to help will give some appropriately, it will be regarded as a hardship for everyone," Gu Siwei said.

Gu Siwei is not stupid, if he has so much food at home to produce insects, and the villagers in the village over there are hungry, once or twice, it is nothing, if it keeps like this, it will be terrible.

Besides, to be honest, so much food is really useless for Gu Siwei, if he wasn't so happy and liked everything, the entire three or five acres would be enough to eat and chew with him and the Sicui people, even if he has a family and children, he can't be hungry.

Hearing Gu Siwei say this, everyone quieted down, and after thinking about it for a while, they felt that Gu Siwei did this thing really beautifully.

I don't talk about help, I only say that everyone's wages are paid, so the people who collect grain like this are also happy, and they have to get the inside and get face, and everyone is naturally not easy to say, otherwise, if the 20 acres of land are harvested, how many people will be red-eyed.

Even if you are afraid, you will inevitably have some thoughts.

That is, this terrain, if it is around the village, it is really difficult to say what is going on.

"Yes, this idea is good, if so many fields are harvested all of a sudden, plus the original fields, I am afraid that the whole village will not starve" Liu Fulin looked at the fields and said leisurely.

Hearing this, Gu Siwei moved slightly, originally he was thinking about adding some materials to the field and getting a bumper harvest or something, but now when he heard Liu Fulin say this, he pondered it again, and suddenly felt that it was better to look at the sky and eat, don't add this material, when the yield is much worse, don't find trouble for yourself when the harvest comes.

At this time, Gu Siwei felt that he was doing this thing a little too ostentatious, but at this point, don't say anything, what should I do, anyway, he is not afraid of others doing it, if he doesn't have the ability, he really can't come up.

It's okay for Old Man Tao to arrive, but in these ten miles and eight villages, there are a few people with such skills as Old Man Tao.

If it was someone else, even if the boat could get to the bottom of the cliff, how could it climb up, helicopter? You really dare to think about it, it is estimated that there are not many helicopters in the country now, which are used to deal with Gu Siwei, is it a bit too much to look at Gu Siwei.

Thinking about things in his heart, Gu Siwei began to wander again.

Until Guo Shengshou patted Gu Siwei on the shoulder: "Siwei, what are you thinking?" ”

"Oh, I'm thinking about how to plow it," Gu Siwei said casually.

Zheng Youcai said: "The whole plough is not simple, if you have a plow face, then it is easy to say anything, if you don't have it, it will be troublesome, you have to buy a plow face."

Plough face refers to the plough shovel and plough wall, some places also call the plow wall plow mirror, some plough two accessories combined into one, oblique on an angle more saving ox force, now the plough of Shimo Village is this inclined plane of the plow.

"I have this, I found someone to fight one last time, but the wooden shelf was not made," Gu Siwei said.

The last time I bought a knife with someone, Gu Siwei asked someone to make an inclined plough mirror, but it was never used, so it was not installed.

In fact, Gu Siwei didn't remember that at that time, all his thoughts were on building a house, where he had time to plant what land and how he wanted, and when he ordered a plow, it was just a whim.

"Have it at home? Take it out and take a look".

As soon as a group of old men heard that Gu Siwei's family had a plough mirror, they immediately came to their senses.

Gu Siwei naturally got up, went into the house and touched it, and when he came out again, he was carrying a heavy plow in his hand.

Bang!

Throwing the ploughshare mirror on the ground can make these old guys feel distressed to death.

"Be careful, be careful! Don't throw it away."

If you don't know, you think it's theirs.

"Don't worry, it's not bad, if this land can be thrown away, then I don't want it," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"Good stuff."

Everyone knew that it was made of stainless steel as soon as they saw the plough, and the plough in their village was made of cast iron, not to mention anything else, only durable and corrosion-resistant, and the plough in Gu Siwei's hand was top-notch.

Tao Yisheng stretched out his hand and knocked on the plough mirror, and he heard a clear sound from the plow mirror, and there was still an aftersound when his fingers were removed.

"It's really a good steel mouth, it's a pity to make a plow mirror, it's a treasure knife before you put a steel knife" Tao Yisheng was a little embarrassed.

"No matter how good the knife is, it is something else, and no matter how wasteful the plow is, it is also your own," Liu Fulin said.

Tao Yisheng curled the corners of his mouth: "This is right."

"Okay, with this thing, the rest is not a problem, Siwei, you can go tomorrow with confidence, and when it is evening, we will get you a plow" Zheng Youcai said lightly.

Tao Yisheng said: "Don't play this package of tickets, it's okay to say otherwise, it's not easy to find a suitable plow, the plough mirror has only sixty percent, and the remaining forty percent is on this plow."

"What's so difficult about this, there are trees around here, let's see which one to cut tomorrow, and there's a pile of materials piled up behind the four-dimensional house, I think there are small ones, let's find a suitable one to stop the roasting with fire, it's just a little more effort." But well, this plow is done, and we will have to borrow it in the future, and the plough of the two of them is as if they have directly inserted a stake, and it is not slippery at all in the field," Zheng Youcai said.

Zheng Youcai is now considered to have entered Liu Fulin's household, and he is with his apprentice Liu Dezhu, so he naturally has to help with the work. The plough used for ploughing the land was divided into villages by Liu Fulin's family and Guo Shengshou's family, and it was not a good one, and it was not the turn of the two of them to plough the field, so this plow was naturally not so smooth when plowing the field.

Farm work is like this, the tools are easy to hand are in a good mood, and if the tools are not smooth, then the mood is bad and tiring, and the senses will feel more tired.
