The old man saw that Zhou Sheng's expression was also so sincere, and this time he was not as angry as before. He raised his eyebrows in confusion, and then said: "You haven't seen these questions, you have seen the meeting ceremony, you
Why did you come to be an apprentice with me?"
Zhou Sheng was even more confused. Does he need any kind of meeting gift to become an apprentice in the coffin shop? Every shop needs apprentices, otherwise how could they continue from generation to generation. It’s just that the coffin shop is like this
It’s a place where few people are willing to come.
Seeing the confusion on Zhou Sheng's face, he didn't understand what he meant at all, so the old man simply explained it clearly to him this time: "You also know that people in our profession are not easy to be treated. In fact, everyone has to
They use us, but they don't want to see us while we are still alive, so my shop is otherwise good and the business is good, but it's hard to find apprentices."
Having said this, the old man still sighed, lamenting the fate of his shop being so unpopular. He also didn't think about it, who would be willing to go to a coffin shop all the time?
Zhou Sheng didn't know how to answer this. Fortunately, the old man didn't expect him to answer and instead continued talking to himself, "Hey, it's really not easy to keep the store open these days. It's so
I have been an apprentice for many years, but I have suffered a lot in this matter. I have tried so hard to find an apprentice who is honest, hardworking and hard-working."
Having said this, the old man looked Zhou Sheng up and down. In his opinion, Zhou Sheng definitely met his requirements. It seemed that the young man had a good figure and a decent appearance. From now on, he would serve in the store.
Those customers have absolutely no problem.
Don’t think that the customers who come to the coffin shop will have a good attitude. Although they usually stay away from the coffin shop, when they really need it at home, these people have a different look.
They have to decide many troublesome matters, so when they come to the store, the customers either look sad or full of anger. Although the owner of the coffin shop is not afraid of them, it is better to have more trouble than less trouble.
This is also because the coffin shop owner has always believed that his business is the same as everyone else's. And the most important thing for a businessman is, of course, being harmonious and making money.
Although the words "harmony and wealth" do not seem to fit well with a coffin shop, the boss has always believed that his store, which is an ordinary store, is no different from other vegetable and grocery stores.
So in his opinion, of course he hopes to find an apprentice who looks upright and is more eloquent, but at least he has no problem with his words and has a decent attitude.
And from just now, the main reason why he talked so much to Zhou Sheng, going around and around without getting to the point, was that he was inspecting Zhou Sheng. He saw that
There was no problem in speaking to this young man, his language was very fluent, and his ideas were very clear. Then he started to examine the attitudes of sentient beings. I talked a lot to examine the attitudes of this descendant.
It seemed that Zhou Sheng performed well. Although he was a little annoyed, he did not really quarrel with him. This made the coffin shop owner particularly satisfied.
People who have errands to do at home often don’t know exactly what they need to buy when they come to a coffin shop. When you introduce a bunch of things to them, they feel that you are cheating them out of money.
At this time, they are actually mainly troubled by sadness and troubles, which have made their brains unclear, so it is inevitable that the attitude of the coffin shop needs to be more kind.
The main reason is that the attitude and mental outlook of these people who have had funerals in their families are in an abnormal stage during those days. If they are really irritated, it is not impossible to fight. Therefore, the coffin shop owner knows this very well, and for apprentices
He started the investigation from the very beginning.
It's just that Zhou Sheng doesn't know these. He is still waiting for the boss to explain to him the meeting gift. Mainly because after understanding this, he also knows how to leave this coffin shop. He
I really don't want to stay here. Although I am now in the backyard of the coffin shop and the time is close to noon, as long as I stay behind the coffin shop, Zhou Sheng feels cold all over and has no warmth at all.
Not understanding Qiu Sheng's special physique, the owner of the steel shop only thought that he had some taboos about coffin shops like ordinary people, so he didn't want to stay here. However, he still thinks highly of Zhou Sheng, so he is very reluctant to let go.
Zhou Sheng left.
This young man has just been inspected by himself. He has a neat appearance, clear thinking, and fluent language. What's more rare is that his attitude is very gentle. Moreover, the introducer also said before that this child is very smart and can easily learn anything.
So no matter what, the owner of the coffin shop is not willing to let such a good young talent slip through the cracks of his fingers. After finally waiting for such a good young man to become an apprentice, he can't let him leave easily.
If Zhou Sheng knew that he was holding back his temper just now, or that because he was in a special environment like a coffin shop, Zhou Sheng had put away all his strength and had no temper at all. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible. This time
This performance caught the eye of the owner of the coffin shop, and he was probably so upset that he punched the wall.
Listening to the coffin shop owner going around and around without getting back to the topic, Zhou Sheng became a little anxious. He had to remind the coffin shop owner: "Boss, what is the meeting ceremony you just mentioned?
"
This time Zhou Sheng asked very firmly. He stared straight into the eyes of the coffin shop owner, as if he would not be shy if he didn’t answer. And the old man was also a man who looked at people and knew that he meant to fool him.
He couldn't get over it, so he could only tell the real reason.
"Didn't I just say that? Everything in my shop is good, but it's not easy to recruit apprentices, so I made a rule. If someone is willing to come to my shop as an apprentice, I, the boss, will naturally
Give me a generous meeting gift."
Hearing what the old man said, Zhou Sheng actually stared at him for a long time without reacting. This was the first time he heard that the person who recruited apprentices needed to give gifts to the apprentices. You know, just like Zhou Sheng who was an apprentice in the blacksmith shop before
Judging from experience, all shops that recruit apprentices require apprentices to give a apprenticeship ceremony.
