Zi Baifeng would not do this kind of work, he was not diligent and did not divide the grains, and everyone would not let him do it. In addition to collecting money every day, he is also busy tinkering with the fine prints.

The mill really began to be used, and many problems were exposed, and some small things were easy to solve, but the problem of damage to the mill was not easy to solve. The villagers used the mill around the clock, and the intensity of use was too great, and the mill was particularly vulnerable to damage. There is one carpenter and one stonemason in the village, the carpenter has a problem to find Zijian, and the grinding disc has a problem to find Shi San, so they can't be repaired for free, so there is also a problem of repair and remuneration, Zi Baifeng discussed with the old man, quoted a price, and the remuneration came out of the village's funds, and everyone had no objection.

With the increase in the frequency of use of the mill, all kinds of things that are matched with it have also been consumed more, such as noodle bags and noodle sieves, some people have made noodle bags and noodle sieves to sell next to the mill, most of these people are old men and old women, and they are very happy to sell one or two in a day. And both of these need cloth, which by the way has led to the textile industry in Xiayan Village - maybe only a small part of the income of a family, but as long as there is income, it is good.

After that, the villagers often worked in the mill all night, and in the morning they had to rush to the city of Mengcheng, and many people were reluctant to go home for a meal, so some people set up small stalls there to provide some simple food.

And so on and so forth.

Zi Baifeng sometimes thinks about it a little, it will feel very magical, just a small mill, the whole village is alive, no longer see the sunrise in the past and make the tranquility of the day, in the middle of the night, there will be torches shining back and forth, and people running back and forth on the mountain road.

On this day, Zi Baifeng was still asleep, when he heard someone knocking on the door, Zi Baifeng got up, and saw the pillar and his father standing in the yard, and saw Zi Baifeng getting up, and his father said: "It's okay, there is a broken tooth on the shelf, I'll change it, you continue to sleep." ”

Zhuzi also smiled at Zi Baifeng, he was still shy, embarrassed to face Zi Baifeng, and he was not very easy to talk, so he didn't dare to be the first to come to Zi Baifeng last time.

It was a full hour before Daddy came back, wet and wet. Zi Baifeng hurriedly took a towel to help his father wipe it, and his father took it himself, wiped his hair, and didn't care about his body, he was now at this age, he was in the prime of life, and now it was hot, so he should take a bath.

But Zi Baifeng was distressed, he said: "Dad, you have to find a way to do it, it's always like this, running out of the middle of the night to repair the mill, how tired and dangerous!"

Zijian was happy instead, and said: "What's the danger, I don't get tired after a few days, and I still have money to make, how good." ”

Zibai was so angry that he didn't want to speak, he didn't want his father to suffer like this, and he wanted to hire a craftsman from elsewhere to guard the mill. But don't say that Daddy can't get through here, Yan Lao Wu will also say that he is a loser.

Zi Baifeng can't look down on this little money, but some people see it, and in the past two days, several people have come to the door to sell their children, saying that they are apprentices to Zijian, but Zijian has politely refused.

Zi Baifeng is a little puzzled, he knows the carpentry master and apprentice system, as the so-called one day is a teacher and a father for life, many times the master and parents are on the same footing. And the master to the apprentice, is to beat and scold, and the apprentice enters the door, the master only has to eat and not pay, to the teacher, when he is to make a living, the master will give a set of tools to the apprentice, this is to give the other party a handicraft to make a living, it is a great grace. Before leaving school, it was like a free worker in the family.

But even so, the master is still very cautious in accepting apprentices.

As the saying goes, after teaching the apprentices to starve the master to death, the masters have to accept the apprentices, and they also have to consider their own future, if it is an apprentice with poor character, it is not for nothing that the master will be squeezed to beg for food after leaving the master.

It is actually very simple for these people in Xiayan Village to accept it, if there was an apprentice in Xiayan Village who Zijian looked at, he would have accepted it a long time ago. Besides, Xiayan Village is so big that it can't accommodate two carpenters. Shi San They are passed down from father to son, and they have been working as stonemasons for generations, and there is no second family, which is also the reason. Xiayan Village can't support the second stonemason.

However, Zijian did have the intention of accepting apprentices, these days, he has more and more work, and he is indeed a little too busy, and Zi Baifeng's worried eyes and strong opposition, he also sees it in his eyes.

Zi Baifeng seems that Zijian is a young man in the prime of life, and his worries are only out of concern for his relatives. But Zijian felt that he was already middle-aged, what if there were really three long and two short, leaving Zi Baifeng alone.

On this day, Zijian said that he had something to deal with in Mengcheng, so he followed the people who sold noodles to Mengcheng.

When it was dark, Zi Baifeng was reading and writing at home, when he heard Zijian's voice outside: "Baifeng, open the door." ”

The men who went to the city came in, and when they saw that Zi Baifeng was not in the private school, they came directly. After paying the money, everyone left, but a black and strong young man remained.

"Bai Feng. Zijian Zhengse introduced: "This is your second black brother, whose big name is Liu Erhei, and he is the eldest apprentice I received." ”

"Dad, have you accepted an apprentice?" Zi Baifeng's eyes widened, looking up and down at this black and strong young man.

The age seems to be about the same as himself, and since Dad lets him call him brother, he is older than himself. The rough hands and feet are obviously people who are used to work, with honest faces and bright eyes, and they don't look like treacherous and slippery people. He was wearing coarse cloth clothes and trousers, all of which were washed and white, and patched.

Zi Baifeng's eyesight has improved a lot now, and he can already see the subtle difference in aura, he looks at it intently, the aura on his body is quite full, and his body foundation is also good. It's the name Liu Erhei, which doesn't sound like a big name.

However, the people in the village are all like this, big black and two black, three dogs and four dogs, and they are cheap and easy to feed.

Seeing Zi Baifeng looking at him, Liu Erhei stood up straight crampedly, and smiled, Zi Baifeng's set of green clothes that can only be worn by a scholar made him very stressed. And he had already heard a lot of things about Zi Baifeng, and when he saw a real person at this time, he only felt more pressure.

"Erhei is the child of one of my former co-workers, he has been working with us since he was twelve years old, and his skills are very good......" Seeing Zi Baifeng staring at Erhei, knowing what his son's temperament was, Zijian advised: "Don't bully him!"

Zi Baifeng said innocently: "When have I ever bullied someone?"

He looked at Erhei, just because he had guessed probly. Since Erhei's father and Zijian are co-workers, there is no need to give his children to others as apprentices, there must be something wrong with his father.

Zijian thought about it carefully, indeed, his son didn't seem to bully people much, except for letting the heavenly soldiers capture the four dogs, insulting Hu Caijun in the court, and insulting the immortals head-on.

Anyway, Zijian just can't trust his son.

When Xiao Shi heard that Zijian was back, he jumped in and shouted, "Uncle, where is the osmanthus cake you brought me?"

"Little stone!" Erhei was also happy to see the little stone, in the unfamiliar environment, familiar people can give him more security, he picked up the little stone with both hands and begged to hug, and put his head on the head of the little stone.

"Brother, this is Brother Erhei, Brother Erhei is good, he often gives me delicious food. "Little Stone Road.

Erhei Han smiled and touched his head, a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Erhei likes small stones, and small stones also like Erhei, Zi Baifeng put some heart. After all, my father's apprentice wanted to join his own family and become a part of his own family.

"Welcome, come in and get some water. Zi Baifeng nodded and greeted.

Seeing his son nodding, Zijian was also relieved, he was really worried that his son would not agree.

"Little stone, you go to your fifth master and tell him that tomorrow I will accept your second black brother as an apprentice. Zijian instructed Xiao Shi Dao, and Xiao Shi hit a pier from Er Hei's arms, slid down, turned around and ran.

"Erhei, you sleep in my room first at night. Zijian said, "Tomorrow we will clean up the miscellaneous room, you will go down first, and then we will find time to build another house." ”

"Uncle Zi, you don't have to bother. "Erhedao, "I just live in a miscellaneous room......"

Today, he hasn't officially apprenticed yet, so he is still called Uncle Zijianzi.

"Your father and I are good brothers, and you are half my son. Zijian said, "If I wronged you, I wouldn't have the face to see Brother Liu in the future." ”

Hearing Zijian mention his father, Erhei's eyes turned red, and he quickly turned his face away.

This is a new funeral, Zi Baifeng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it, he and his father depended on each other, he couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he didn't have his father.

"Erhei, come in and sit. Zi Baifeng greeted, and Zijian scolded with a smile: "You kid, you have to call Brother Erhei." ”

"Erhei is older than me, but according to the time he entered the door, he still calls me senior brother. Zibai said, "So we will top, no one is bigger than the other." ”

"You are still a showman, how can you be counted like this?" Zijian was dissatisfied.

Listening to the quarrel between the father and son, Er Heihan smiled, but there was a strong envy in his heart.

"Erhei, don't be afraid, I don't bully you, you treat this place as your home. Zi Baifeng turned around and saw that Erhei was still standing in place, and comforted with a smile.

Erhei's heart warmed, nodded, and didn't speak. But he always felt that he didn't have the courage to go into the hall.

Little Stone ran in from outside and shouted, "Uncle, the fifth master said that he knows what he said! Brother Erhei, come in quickly, I'll show you the puppy." ”

The little stone dragged Erhei into the house.
