The little Taoist priest looked at Xiao Dajiang again. Xiao Dajiang said angrily: "Just do it. Do you want to see what I do?"
Xiao Dajiang thought to himself: If I tell you not to do it, my mother-in-law will make me bow to the foot of the bed again.
This time, the Taoist priest was much more skilled. He quickly selected the raw materials and then operated various saws, axes, ink fountains, and ink pens without any sloppiness.
Seeing how fast the little Taoist master was doing, Luo Chunhua chuckled and said, "Xiao Dajiang, it seems like your apprentice is going to take your job. Sure enough, you taught the apprentice and starved the master to death."
Xiao Dajiang rolled his eyes, he dared not speak out in anger, and said in his heart: This stupid woman is really brainless. If I starve to death, how can you get any benefits?
"Master's wife, I will be filial to my master, my wife, and my master from now on," the little Taoist priest said.
Xiao Dajiang and Luo Chunhua naturally knew that one of the two masters in the long story of Xiaodao refers to Xiao Dajiang and the other refers to the old Taoist. When Luo Chunhua heard this, she couldn't help but feel sad. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands and said to Xiao Dajiang:
"Look at how filial your apprentice is. How lucky you are to have such a good apprentice."
Xiao Dajiang was obviously very moved, but he still said: "If you are capable, consider yourself capable. There is no other carpenter in Xianji Bridge, and I haven't seen anyone starving to death."
"You are so stubborn. Chang Xing, don't pay attention to your master. Make a bench for your wife. Your master has been a carpenter all his life, and he doesn't even have a good bench at home. You don't want to drink wine while making a bench for me. I
Baking a few jars of wine a year is like feeding the dogs." Luo Chunhua said.
For the second bench, although the speed was accelerated, the trail leader was more attentive. He was not lazy at all in his work. The surface of the bench was smoothed with a plane, as if it had been polished.
When the Taoist Master finished the bench, Luo Chunhua couldn't put it down, and the smile on her face kept blooming.
Xiao Dajiang was very satisfied, but did not say a word of praise: "This bench is so-so, but the bench is the most basic and simplest in carpentry work. Any piece of furniture is more complicated than a bench. If you want to learn the craft well,
If you want to become a master, there are still many things to do. Even if you can make a bench, don't rush, you have to learn the craft slowly."
The little Taoist did not refute Xiao Dajiang's words at all, and kept nodding. From the moment he made this bench, the little Taoist already felt that carpentry work was indeed not simple. If it weren't for his powerful spiritual mind, he could separate the benches.
The details of the parts were very clearly inspected, and maybe it was impossible for him to make the bench in one go. In the final analysis, he took a shortcut. But, even so, if he is asked to make a more complex piece of furniture now, Xiao Daochang will definitely
Don't do well.
Although Xiao Dajiang was reluctant to say a good word, from that day on, every time he went to build furniture for others, he would always take this apprentice with him. Everyone in Xianji Bridge knew the little Taoist, and knew that the little Taoist did evil, and the little Taoist
Although the elders always go to school and then go there, they always stay in the lane to have a meal.
Although I went to the trail leader late, I have been doing it non-stop since I went there.
Xiao Dajiang always asked the Taoist Master to stop and rest for a while. The Taoist Master always said that he was not tired and still kept working. Xiao Dajiang looked anxious. You silly boy, Master told you to rest because he would not let you be so diligent.
There are rules for how many hours of work there are on furniture. If you are so diligent, you can finish the furniture for two workers in one job. When the time comes, I will ask others how much labor does it cost?
Xiao Dajiang pretended to lose his temper and said that the Taoist priest had not done his job well and asked him not to do anything yet and just watch from the side.
The little Taoist priest didn't know why, and thought that the master was deliberately making things difficult for him, and felt very aggrieved.
The owner of the house is Xiao Laosi, who was married not long ago. Xiao Laosi’s eldest son will take in a wife in the winter, so some furniture needs to be prepared at home. An exquisite bed, a wardrobe, and various other furniture are needed.
I also need to prepare some. The fourth Xiao family has just built a new house, and it will be expensive to take in a daughter-in-law soon, so I only make a few pieces of furniture that are important.
Seeing Xiao Dajiang scolding his apprentice, Xiao Laosi couldn't stand it: "Dajiang, don't scold the little Taoist priest. I don't blame him for breaking a piece of material. Which apprentice doesn't break a few pieces of material? I see him
You've learned the craft pretty well. Taoist priest, don't worry, I have a lot of wood at home. Just practice hard."
When he returned, Xiao Dajiang explained the carpenter's rules to the little Taoist priest.
"The same piece of furniture requires several workers. These are all industry rules. Even if your hands and feet are faster than others, you can't break the industry rules. You have to slow down. As the saying goes, a carpenter is a carpenter, a carpenter is a carpenter. A carpenter drinks a lot of tea, so you
If you have quick hands and feet, you should drink more tea, go to the toilet more often, and chat with the host more about household chores. How many jobs should a piece of furniture have, or how many jobs?" Xiao Dajiang said.
The little Taoist asked curiously: "If you do it quickly, everyone will come to invite you in the future."
"What do you know? There are many people in our brigade making furniture every year. Basically, they are all fixed. If I do it slowly or quickly, they will call me. If I do it quickly, other carpenters will call me.
Call me a pig." Xiao Dajiang said.
The Taoist priest only comes over after school every day, so it doesn’t count as work. The master can only serve one meal. Therefore, if the Taoist priest is too diligent and does too much work, the master and the apprentice will naturally suffer a lot. Xiao Dajiang also has a bit of a craftsman’s cunning.
In Xiao Laosi's house, Xiao Laosi and his two sons took advantage of the slack to go out to do side jobs. Xiao Laosi often went out to help. Only Xiao Laosi's wife Zhou Lanying and Xiao Laosi's wife Zeng Qigu and a few servants were the only ones.
Son is at home.
Xiao Laosi kept a big yellow dog in his house. This dog was very ferocious, but every time he saw the little Taoist priest, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He never dared to show his face at home. As soon as the little Taoist priest left, the dog appeared.
The family hired a carpenter to cook two meals a day and serve some refreshments at noon. Xiao's fourth wife, Zhou Lanying, used to put food in baskets and hang them on iron hooks on the beams of the old house. This could prevent rats from stealing.
Eat it.
The relationship between Zhou Lanying and her mother-in-law is not very good. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been the most difficult relationship to deal with. Zhou Lanying and Zeng Qigu have conflicting tempers. Although they live under the same roof, their relationship has never been very good.
When tea was served at noon, Zhou Lanying went to get the food and found that there was a little less food in it. She suspected that Zeng Qigu had eaten it secretly, and she was very angry. She had no evidence and did not dare to question him face to face. After talking to Xiao Dajiang,
During family time, I talked about my mother's shortcomings.
"If you want to sip something, just tell me and you will take it without saying a word. If I hadn't prepared some more, where would I get it when there is tea at noon?" Zhou Lanying said.
"Sister-in-law Lan Ying, you haven't seen this with your own eyes, so you can't talk nonsense. It would be bad if you wrongly accuse someone. I still know my aunt, although she has a bad temper. But I can't do this kind of thing.
