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 Zhou 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.
But when he thought about having to walk through that gloomy shop, Zhou Sheng felt that the steps he had just wanted to take forward were retracted. He really didn't have the guts to walk through that place alone.
The old man who had been looking at the tree finally came to his senses. He turned around and found that Zhou Sheng was still standing there. He did not leave or do anything else during this period of daze, but he was somewhat satisfied with this child.
It seems that this child is still an honest child, but it is a pity that this child does not even know about the meeting gift. How should I explain this matter to her now?
After organizing his words, the old man said: "You, the young man, have also seen my coffin shop. Although I really have no choice in my craftsmanship, everyone seems to be more taboo about my profession, so I
Opening a store in such a remote place, where few people usually come, it is naturally more difficult for an apprentice."
Of course Zhou Sheng didn't know that the old man had already praised himself in his heart and felt that he was honest. In fact, she was not really afraid. There were several gloomy coffins and pretty strong paper horses in the shop. They
Indeed, he ran away long ago.
After all, in his opinion, he didn't owe the shopkeeper anything. As for the strange thing about the meeting gift, he had never heard of it. Besides, it was too late to ask his mother after he left here and returned home.
Now that he heard the old man complaining in front of him, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. Of course he knew that people didn't want to come to a place like the coffin shop. Does this mean that someone wants to do nothing? Who is willing to go here?
Ah? Are these things that this old man said are all nonsense? And judging from his bitter and resentful look, does he still hope that others will come to his coffin shop to visit him when they have something to do?
The old man over there thought he understood Zhou Sheng. Anyway, in his opinion, this young man is an honest and honest person. Looking at how he couldn't even run away just now, it can be seen that this child is still a talented person. As long as he can stay down-to-earth,
Come to think of it, there will be no successors to my craft.
"Oh, you young man, you don't know that there is a lot of knowledge in this coffin shop. Even choosing the wood when making this coffin is a craft. There is no problem for you to follow me. I promise to use all my knowledge
I will teach you all the techniques and skills, and you will definitely be a master in the coffin industry in the future. Don’t worry, no one can do without the coffin shop.”
The old man was still talking earnestly, as if his words could convince Zhou Sheng to change his mind and stay. After all, he is very optimistic about this apprentice now. You know, after so many years, he can not run away when he is stunned.
There are still very few people. Of course, these people may be cowards.
Both sides were really getting impatient. He now wished that the old man could get angry and drive him out. Of course, the prerequisite was that he let the old man walk out of that terrifying shop with him.
He didn't want to listen to the old man's long talk about how good his craftsmanship was, and how everyone couldn't live without the coffin shop. Everyone couldn't live without the coffin shop, but no one wanted to go to the coffin shop early to choose something, right?
Isn't this a place where you have to hide as far away as possible?
Now listening to the old man saying the same words over and over again, Zhou Sheng's eyebrows were furrowed and he went together. He wanted to leave here now. He couldn't listen to what the old man said. He only thought about this.
Go home. No matter what, after returning this time, he must tell his mother that he should not be sent to be an apprentice in a shop like this. He cannot stay in a place like this.
If Zhou Sheng really had to choose, instead of staying in the coffin shop, he might as well just hang out at home and wait to die. You must know that Zhou Sheng has not been afraid of anything since he was a child. The only thing he was afraid of was these ghosts and weird things. Although he
He had never seen these things before, but he was just scared to death.
