"If you have time, craftsmen should go to the county to study. After all, the technology has improved, and it is easier to attract customers!"
"Just like Zhang Asan, his craftsmanship is really bad. The bed he just repaired last month broke again this month!"
"We all work based on craftsmanship. If your craftsmanship is good, we will keep it for you next time!"
The old man kept chattering along the way, while Jin Yao listened quietly without interrupting, only nodding or smiling in return from time to time.
Finally, after walking for a while, in less than a cup of tea, a quiet small village appeared in front of Jinyao. There were not many houses, just a few dots, about four or five households.
But Jin Yao also knows that in order to facilitate farming, these villages generally live nearby, with three or five households together, and then ten households scattered around are called a village.
"The third son is back. Who did he bring with him?" The simple villagers were also curious about who Jin Yao was following behind him and asked.
"It's a carpenter. Didn't Zhang Asan go to the county town to study some time ago? I will lead the carpenter back first. No one knows whether Zhang Asan will come back after going to the city to study!" The old man also greeted,
Help Jinyao attract customers.
"Oh, a lot of things in my house are broken. The carpenter must come to my house later!" The news of Mr. Carpenter's arrival spread in this remote and isolated mountain village.
Before Jin Yao had time to say anything, he was taken to a threshing floor in the village and sat down. Then each family went back to their own homes. Soon, various broken pots, bowls, pans and other wooden furniture were brought for Jin Yao to sit down.
Haruka helped with the repairs.
In fact, carpenters can do more than that. They can also do some large furniture at home, such as cabinets, furniture, and beds. However, there is also a bit of care in the villagers' simplicity. They also need to know Jin Yao's level before they can do it.
Decide whether to ask Jinyao to help repair it.
Jin Yao looked at the pots and pans piled in front of him and did not dislike them. He took out the tools and began to repair them one by one seriously.
The villagers also played with their children nearby, but they would also stare at them from time to time to see if it was their turn and how they were doing.
"You can't tell, this craftsman is not very old, but his craftsmanship is much better than Zhang Asan!" Many villagers could see Jin Yao's craftsmanship.
Just like a broken pottery bowl, after a simple repair in Jin Yao's hands, it looked like a brand new one. The wooden ones were also repaired and helped with planing. In the past, carpenters only repaired and didn't care.
The polished ones were all polished by the villagers who took them back and used them for a long time before they became smooth.
"Don't even look at who brought it back!" The father-in-law who brought Jin Yao back, also known as the third child among the villagers, proudly showed off.
Jin Yao also smiled slightly and continued to help the villagers repair their tools.
However, Jin Yao also noticed that many people came from far away, but they didn't bring much with them, and most of them were waiting nearby.
Finally, they finished repairing the things in front of them. The villagers also took away their own things, but they didn't leave, waiting for Jin Yao to finish repairing the last things.
"Sir, please go to my house first. I have a cabinet and a shelf that need to be repaired!" When Jin Yao stopped what he was doing, the villagers rushed up to him, pulling on Jin Yao's clothes, and wanted to take Jin Yao away first.
Jin Yao didn't expect the villagers to be so enthusiastic and tough, but he was somehow carried away by a strong man and ran back to his home.
"Okay, okay, let me down first, warrior!" Jin Yao was a little embarrassed being carried, so he hurriedly patted the man's shoulder and said.
But the strong man didn't stop at all and carried Jin Yao all the way to his home before putting him down.
"Third brother, I carried him back!" Jin Yao didn't know until he got home that the person who carried him back was not a strong man, but a woman, the wife of the father-in-law who brought him back to the village.
"I probably know why your bed is broken!" Jin Yao said silently, looking at the strong man's wife and then at the third child.
"I would say that Mr. Zhang is better than Zhang Asan, but he can tell the problem with the bed at a glance!" Lao San smiled and showed off to his wife.
Jin Yao was silent, and then repaired the third bed that had been patched and fixed with several wooden stakes and a few stones. As for how long this overburdened bed could last with the help of stones.
, he is not sure anymore.
"Okay!" After practicing for a long time, Jin Yao shook it hard and found that he could still withstand his own strength, so he turned back and said to Lao San and his wife who were watching beside him.
The third child also tried it and found that it was indeed stable and did not shake or creak. Then he smiled and took out five Korean sword coins from a cloth bag that was folded several times in the cabinet and handed it to Jin Yao.
, and then carefully folded the remaining three coins and put them back.
"The village is not rich, so I can only give these to my husband!" the third child said awkwardly.
Jin Yao smiled and took one of the five sword coins and returned the rest.
"You don't mind if I drink some water!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
"Ah?" The third child was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly, "Of course you can, my dear, hurry up and get some water for sir!"
The third son's wife also hurried to the water tank, brought a large ladle of water and handed it to Jin Yao.
Jin Yao smiled and took a sip of water.
"Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll go scoop some more!" Lao San's wife looked at Jin Yao drinking and asked again.
Jin Yao was stunned, looked at the large gourd of water, and smiled awkwardly. It would be great if he could finish the gourd!
"What are you talking about? If you don't mind, sir, it's getting late now. Why don't you stay at my house first? I will take your husband to various houses in the village tomorrow." The third child hurriedly stopped his wife and said.
"It's okay!" Jin Yao didn't refuse, it was better than sleeping in the wild.
"My dear, go make a fire and make some food!" the third child hurriedly urged.
"Okay!" The third wife had already turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"I heard you call your wife your child's mother, why don't you see your child?" Jin Yao also learned from the conversation just now that this third child, who looks old, is actually only forty years old.
"We hid in the mountains, and the government came to recruit young men from time to time. They said that the frontline war was tight and they needed more soldiers, so we let the children hide in the mountains!" Lao San said sadly with a sigh.
"Does the government capture strong men on the battlefield?" Jin Yao asked hesitantly.
"It comes almost every month!" Lao San said in a deep voice, looking at the sky, "I don't know when days like this will end!"
"I heard that the Qin State didn't recruit young men, and we used to have land and grain growing for free. I don't know if that's true!"
"Some time ago, Lao Liu's family in the village sneaked away, and they haven't heard from him for so long!"
Jin Yao listened quietly. In this era, traveling is not easy, let alone escaping to another country with your family. Once caught, you will be punished by death. Even if you escape, can you really live a good life? And
If you really have a good life, are you willing to come back and tell these fellow villagers? Can you come back?
