Perhaps because of cultural differences, the ordinary apprentices in this world are not what Xin Yu thought. One day is a teacher and a father for life, and the apprentice is attached to the master's feudal master-apprentice relationship. It's not like going to the master's house to study, as an apprentice of the owner of the Eun Zilou, after completing his studies, he almost sold himself to the Chen Mansion and belonged to the servant's class. Rather, it is a simple teaching relationship, more like a teacher or tutor in a previous life, which belongs to an employment or trading relationship.

Figuring out the meaning of apprenticeship, Xin Yu bowed to Huan Zilou without the slightest psychological barrier, which can be regarded as preemptively setting this teacher. After all, Huan Zilou's first impression of him was that he was an old bookworm with a good head and a poor experience. Well, even if you like to read miscellaneous books, you are definitely more knowledgeable than Xin Zhiran.

Huan Zilou also recognized this relationship because it was indispensable, anyway, this kind of master-apprentice relationship is not binding on the apprentice, and it is even less binding on the teacher. If Chen Moru finally looked down on Xin Yu's ability, he wouldn't have to fulfill any obligations. If it was the master-apprentice relationship that Xin Yu was worried about before, he might not be willing to accept it.

Although it seems that the apprentice suffers a lot and loses his personal freedom, the main purpose of being a master is to inherit his knowledge, and even if he exploits the apprentice, he must ensure the survival of the apprentice. You must know that the astral world is not a harmonious society, although Huan Zilou focuses on his own cultivation and does not wander around, he also knows the dangers outside. Even so, it was thanks to the fact that he joined the Chen Mansion from the beginning, and he could be regarded as having a backer. If he was an ordinary casual cultivator, with his qualifications and realm, hehe, I'm afraid he would have turned into ashes a long time ago. And the other kind of apprenticeship relationship is not something that Eun Zilou can call the shots, and it needs to be approved by the head of the family. The Chen Mansion is different from other families, even recruiting servants requires strict selection. Don't you see a huge Chen Mansion, but there are only six subordinates? It's not that the master of the Chen Mansion doesn't need to enjoy and pomp, it's really that the astral wizard is a profession that desperately needs to be quiet, and once the population is large, it will inevitably become noisy. Only those who are faithful, who can strictly follow the rules, and who also have some knowledge of astrologers can be hired.

At this time, the two sides reached a preliminary agreement, which can be regarded as a great joy. Since it was already dark, it was agreed that after Xin Yu came to the interview on the second day, Huan Zilou drove back to his house in a carriage.

But the Chen Mansion was a little lively. The reason is the two ship models sold by Xin Yu.

Chen Moru intuitively thought that the shape of the lucky ship could withstand the wind and waves, but the shipbuilding industry in this world was relatively backward, and he was not sure if he felt right. Therefore, after weighing for a long time, I was really not sure whether it would work or not, so I spoke with facts without a teacher.

When Chen Moru came to the pond with the boat model and prepared for the simulation test, he saw his granddaughter having a good time.

Although girls are not as violent as boys playing with toys, they are not necessarily so gentle. I saw the chief steward Ding Shisheng running around on the shore and on the bridge porch, resisting a large pu fan more than two meters long in his hand, and fanning vigorously while walking, creating a "hurricane at sea" from all directions. Another middle-aged manservant grabbed a huge wooden board like a door panel with both hands, and leaned into the water to stir around while running, setting off a ** "monstrous wave". Although these two people are not powerful astromagicians, in the astronomical mansion, they either actively or passively exercise their bodies to be very strong. Otherwise, Ding Shisheng's old arms and legs, even if he lost the rare opportunity to please the little lady, he would not work so hard.

Looking at the small boat that was exactly the same as the one in hand, it was bumped and undulated under the invasion of "strong winds and waves", but it never sank, and even the shaking amplitude was not very violent. Chen Moru's interest in small boats was even stronger, so much so that he dismantled the ship model in his hand on the spot to investigate whether the internal structure was suitable for enlargement into a sea boat, what the knot looked like, and also to see if it could be improved. After all, enlargement of a small boat is not a simple matter, and according to Huan Zilou, the maker of the boat model does not look much like a boatman or a fisherman. Although this type of ship that has never appeared before looks good, it also needs to be evaluated intuitively by himself.

It's a pity that the ship model made by Xin Yu in an emergency depends on the mortise and tenon structure of the outer plate, and there is no internal structure such as keel and watertight cabin. Chen Moru was disappointed as soon as he opened it, this kind of empty bottom structure was no different from the fishing boats of ordinary Tan people, so it was naturally not suitable for enlargement. Unrelentingly, he coaxed his granddaughter for a long time, trying to dismantle the other small boat that had just "entered the port", in the hope of making a new discovery.

Needless to say, in the end, there was still nothing. So, Chen Moru had to comfort himself: the maker didn't take into account the reason why it should be used as a toy because it was enlarged into a sea boat. However, since such a reasonable external structure can be designed, it should be possible to design a suitable and excellent internal structure, right?

I have to say that Chen Moru's logical reasoning is still very correct, at least Xin Yu does have the knowledge to build a sea ship in theory. However, his side was half-letting go of the worries in his heart, but his granddaughter was not happy.

A good toy for you to dismantle, although you are my grandfather, but you have to act to promise to restore me?

For Chen Moru, who is in his nineties, the daughter of this once favorite youngest daughter is far closer than his grandchildren who have grown up. Although it is rare for everyone to see each other because of the long days of cultivation, it is not to the extent that he is spoiled to the extent that he responds to requests, but compared to other great-grandchildren, he will still try his best to meet the requirements of this granddaughter.

Therefore, not to mention that the little girl has a little temper, even being silent and tearful can make him very uncomfortable. So Chen Moru had no choice but to try to memorize the model of the Fu ship, and find ideas for assembling it among the parts scattered all over the place.

The so-called art industry has a specialization, and the grandfather and grandson may be talented in astrology, but they are not talented enough to assemble toys without drawings. They were busy for more than two hours, and they couldn't finish it. made Chen Moru very faceless, and in the end, the eldest man simply ordered the little Luo Luo in the family to go into battle together, and the carrot and stick demanded that they must complete it within a time limit to eliminate the anger of the little lady.

When Xin Yu followed his father to the door the next day, there were nine men and women from all over the Chen Mansion, all of whom were looking forward to him, the legendary "toy maker". Because although the two small boats have been successfully spliced and can barely float after launching, the center of gravity has shifted too much, not to mention the wind and waves, even the rippling microwave can't withstand it.

Looking at the two ship models that were wet as if they had been baptized by shipwreck, Xin Yu didn't know what to say. Master Chen, I understand if you want to see the internal structure, but you don't need to dismantle it, right? Wouldn't it be okay to just disassemble the deck? And it was not enough to dismantle only one, and dismantle both.

Although it is "machined" out of the parts, but after all, the machinery is the Stone Age craft cottage out, the processed parts will naturally have a lot of error, the parts of the two ship models have been mixed by you, and even different positions are mixed and matched This assembly, can be installed without leakage, you are already skilled. Moreover, look at so many parts that have been shortened or cut short by you, such a situation is a fairy...... Maybe there is a way, but mortals certainly can't.

Looking at the tearful appearance of the little Lori sister named Lan Keer, Xin Yu somehow suddenly had the idea that she didn't want to make her sad.

"Why am I so uncomfortable for Mao? Is it because he is a beauty?" As a former adult, Xin Yu didn't believe that he had any dirty thoughts about the immature girl. In his previous life, he had admired countless pictures of beautiful women, natural or artificial, and he would not admit that he had no resistance to beauty. Especially after experiencing the cycle of life and death, he has been a human being for two lifetimes, and his biggest task at present is to live well, and it is impossible and will not be able to think about that desire without being full. Besides, his body is not old enough to produce male hormones.

Although he resisted this involuntary thought in his heart, Xin Yu still made a judgment very rationally. Little Lori seems to have a lot of status in the Chen Mansion and can please her, even if she can't add points to the interview, she should be able to get off to a good start.

Moreover, last night, in order to improve the chances of being hired, he took out a previously made ship model and added internal facilities such as keels. This will come out at the right time, which can not only satisfy the wishes of the little beauty, but also not delay his interview, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

It's still the cartoon cute whale backpack, which is also loaded with a box to protect the ship model. When Xin Yu opened the box and took out the ship model, Lan Ke'er immediately screamed excitedly.

Despite his mental preparations, Xin Yu was still infected by Little Lori's emotions, but this time the impact on his mind was smaller, so he followed the steps he had rehearsed and said to Chen Moru: "Master Chen, this is a complete version of the ship model, which has more keels and watertight cabins than the original ship model. ”

Xin Yu said very calmly, as if he had revealed all his hole cards. Actually, it's not, although there is not much social experience, but in the previous life, since the era of information explosion, even if it is an otaku, there will be a set of cleverness in the world. Therefore, he did not mention the rudder control system at all, nor did he say anything about the sail lifting system, let alone explain in detail the various materials needed to build a sea ship, and even the low-tech things such as anchors were not reflected in the ship model.

"Oh, can you open it and take a look?" Chen Moru asked very calmly.

"No!" This was not Xin Yu's voice, but Lan Keer's answer.

Xin Yu shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands, saying that he didn't know who to listen to, but he didn't want to smash the play, and after a few rounds of eye exchange, he immediately said, "You can take it apart." Of course, I can also restore it after taking it apart. ”

For the maker, disassembly is more technical than the layman's. Small stone chips were inserted into the joints on the deck, and then a slight circle was made on all four sides, and the deck, along with the buildings and cabins above, separated into a gap. called the father who came with him to the interview to help, and the two of them lifted it so gently, and the internal organization was revealed in front of everyone.

Chen Moru looked at it carefully for a while, then nodded and said, "It looks very good, you can put it back." ”

Xin Yu and Daddy closed the two parts of the components as they said, and Lan Ke'er, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately commanded someone to carry the boat out to play.

Chen Moru also took the opportunity to wave his hand to let the other subordinates disperse, leaving only the Xin family's father and son and his daughter. After a moment of silence, he asked Xin Daqiang very solemnly: "Mr. Xin, I take the liberty of asking, I heard the housekeeper say that your family is just an ordinary tenant farmer, and you have never been to the sea, how can you make such an exquisite and reasonable boat?
