Zhou Sheng shook his head sincerely, "That's not what I meant, boss. The coffin shop is still very useful. I know this very well, but I have no interest in this business."
After listening to his explanation, the little old man's raised eyebrows slowly relaxed, and his tone was better than before. He also knew that he had overreacted. Who made him open this coffin shop?
Those old friends in the past no longer contacted me, and many people even ran away from me when they saw me from a distance, as if seeing me was a bad luck.
But who can leave this industry? Who in the end has to rely on themselves for these things? They stay away from themselves now, but sooner or later they will have to go to the store to buy things.
When Zhou Sheng said that he had no interest in this business, the owner of the coffin shop also sighed deeply. It is really difficult to recruit an apprentice now. Who would admit that he is interested in things like coffins and wreaths? Even if someone does
If you are interested in the craft of paper-making, you will probably make lanterns. No one wants to engage in this industry.
In any case, it took a lot of effort to get an apprentice, but the boss didn’t want to let him leave so easily. “Oh my, why are you so impatient? Isn’t this interest something that can be cultivated slowly at the beginning? Look at what I’m involved in here.
There are still many skills that I have learned, and I will teach them all. Don’t worry, I couldn’t be more amiable.”
But regardless of the coffin shop, how can the boss guarantee that you can definitely learn real skills from him, and he can never bring any apprentices, so he treats them well, and his future treatment will be even more generous, and he will not let Zhou Sheng do anything.
Heavy work.
However, this is not what he wants in his life. He is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, otherwise he would not have been favored by such a strict master in the blacksmith shop. However, he really does not intend to engage in this line of work.
.
Regarding what the boss said about cultivating interests, Zhou Sheng felt even more numb. When he entered this place, he could feel the cold air rising from the soles of his feet. How could he stay here with peace of mind and learn an apprenticeship?
"My boss is really bad. I'm not saying that Nian's job is not good, but I'm not suitable for it. I really can't do this."
There was no other way. When doing business, I could only tell the truth, be pitiful and sincere, and hope that the boss would let me go. If he had known that his apprentice's shop was actually a coffin shop, he would never have come.
When the old man heard Zhou Sheng's humble plea, his temper rose. He thought he had said all the good things he could say, but the young man in front of him refused to listen at all and insisted on leaving. This was something he couldn't bear.
, "Okay, why are you so unreasonable as a young man? Do you think you can leave like this?"
The question from the owner of the coffin shop confused Zhou Sheng. He didn't understand that it was just his first day as an apprentice, so why couldn't he leave? First of all, he hadn't learned any skills from the old man, and secondly, he had not learned any skills from the old man.
He didn't do anything on the first day and didn't lose any of his interests. Why didn't he let him go?
Seeing Zhou Sheng's disapproving expression, the coffin shop owner became even more angry and threw the birth bundle he had been holding in his hand on the ground with a snap.
"Boy, you can leave if you want. First, I'll return the gifts I gave you before."
This is really strange. An apprentice should ask his master to give him a gift to meet the apprentice. What kind of rule is this? I just thought that the main reason why my family chose a coffin shop and asked me to be an apprentice was that the coffin shop was not available.
They need to send a apprenticeship ceremony.
After all, after the old gentleman returned the foreign affairs gifts to his house last time, those good things were taken away by his elder brother, and there were some miscellaneous things left that he really couldn't get rid of. So Zhou Sheng really thought that it was because of his family.
I wanted to save money and was too lazy to organize a decent apprenticeship ceremony for him, so I sent him to the coffin shop to be an apprentice.
But Zhou Sheng never expected that this old man would actually ask for a meeting with him. He had never heard of what a meeting was. Everyone in the office knew that if an apprentice wanted to learn a trade, of course he had to give it to the old man.
It has always been a customary rule for a master to become a disciple, but he had never heard of the greeting ceremony.
Seeing Zhou Sheng standing there blankly with no reaction at all, the old man felt that he had some upper hand and sneered triumphantly. "Let's get to the point. As long as you return those greeting gifts, I will
If you don't come back after I let you go, you will be my apprentice here and learn the craft well."
In fact, Zhou Sheng still hasn't figured it out yet. What is the greeting gift? He can't think clearly. Zhou Sheng could only weakly ask, "Boss, what is the greeting gift you are talking about? I don't know."
Hearing what Zhong Sheng said, the old man thought that Zhou Sheng was trying to cheat. His eyes widened. He put one hand on his hips and pointed with the other. Chu Sheng's nose almost hit his face. He was full of good words.
Well, they all burst out, "What? You said you don't know the greeting etiquette?"
Hearing what Zhou Zheng said, the old man was a little angry. He walked around in the yard, scratching his hair irritably. After asking this question, he started to act again. He didn't even know what he should say, or
How should he behave? After all, he has really never heard of any other greeting ceremony. He has only heard of the apprenticeship ceremony.
The irritable old man finally stopped in front of everyone, turned around and stared straight into someone's eyes, "You said you don't know what a meeting gift is, but have you ever heard your family talk about a meeting gift?"
Of course he told the admissions officer the truth about this matter. He shook his head first and then said: "No, I haven't heard anyone mention a meeting gift. By the way, what do you mean by this?"
Who said that being an apprentice in a shop naturally requires giving gifts, but isn't that called a apprenticeship ceremony? Is it because I have little experience? Or maybe the customs are different, and the names are different in each place. When it comes to the old man, it is called a meeting gift, but
This old man shouldn't keep saying that he wants to return the greeting gift.
Seeing that Zhou Sheng didn't look like he was lying, the old man glared at him fiercely, and then turned to look at the big tree in the yard.
The courtyard was extremely quiet for a while, and Zhou Sheng didn't know whether he should take this opportunity to leave. After all, the old man had his back turned to him. If he left now, he would probably be able to rush out of the coffin before he could react and leave here directly. Anyway,
He felt that as long as he didn't stand here, he would be safe.
