Chapter 23 God Chases and Feeds Me (Please Read)

The next morning.

Sham Shui Tin Village.

Deng Shirong took out a large stack of RMB from his pocket and handed it to Guan Dewei, saying, "This is the price the man's family gave to Yongying, a total of 688 yuan. Can you count it and see if there is any mistake?"

Guan Dewei was a little surprised when he heard this. Normally, the man would give the woman a part of the price before registering, and the rest would be paid in full before the marriage.

It is very rare for someone to pay all his net worth at once before registering, as is the case now.

Money must be counted in person, so after Guan Dewei took the money, he started counting them one by one.

Nowadays, the largest denomination of RMB is only ten yuan. The main scene on the front is "People's Representatives Walking Out of the Great Hall", representing a socialist country where the people are the masters of the country. Since the NPC representatives come from various provinces and include compatriots of all ethnic groups, it is called "great unity".

The 688 yuan that Deng Shirong brought included 60 Big Unity notes, and the rest were in denominations of 5 yuan, 2 yuan, and 1 yuan. It was obvious that Deng Changfu's family had specially found someone to exchange these large-denomination notes just to look good.

After Guan Dewei counted the money, Deng Shirong stood up and said goodbye. He came here today specifically to deliver the money on behalf of the man. Tomorrow Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying will go to the commune to register. According to the local customs, they must first deliver the woman's money.

After returning from Sham Shui Tian Village, Deng Shirong went to the tile factory.

Just yesterday when Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying went to Longtan to order clothes, the tile kiln jointly contracted by Deng Shirong and Deng Yungui also started operation in a low-key manner.

"Jiu Gong!"

"Uncle Nine!"

When they arrived at the tile factory, the workers saw Deng Shirong and greeted him one after another.

After Deng Shirong greeted them, he came to the area where Master Dagang was, which was where he had worked for many years in his previous life.

"dad!"

"Master, you are here!"

The ones who greeted him this time were the eldest son Deng Yuntai and his apprentice Deng Changbiao, two big vat masters.

Deng Shirong nodded, then put his hands behind his back and walked into the room where his apprentice Deng Changbiao was working, observing the large vat he was making.

The big vats are made indoors. After all, they are made of clay. If they are made outdoors, all the work will be in vain if it rains.

Deng Changbiao is also a man in his thirties. As a master of large vats, he is very impressive in front of others, but in front of his own master, he dare not show any arrogance at all.

Because his master's skills in making large vats are recognized as the best. Although he has followed his master for nearly ten years, and the master has taught him the skills without reservation, the large vats he makes cannot compare with those made by his master.

This line of work requires a lot of talent.

Deng Changbiao’s talent can only be described as being okay. After learning from his master for more than a year, he was able to make large vats, but the large vats he made all weighed more than 130 kilograms.

The large vats made by his master basically weigh between about 100 and 110 kilograms. The quality of the vats is almost the same, but the weight differs by more than 20 kilograms. This is the difference in technology.

So, when Deng Changbiao saw his master with his hands behind his back observing his "work", he felt a little guilty.

…

Although Deng Shirong had not made jars and tiles for decades, his skills and vision were still there, so he could see the shortcomings of the large jar in front of him at a glance.

Thinking of how his disciple in his previous life had always respected him, Deng Shirong knew that it would be difficult for him to make further progress with his talent, but he still couldn't help but give him some guidance.

Especially some key tips, which are emphasized again and again.

Deng Changbiao waited until the master finished speaking before he smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you have told me these tips many times, and I have memorized them, but when it comes to actually practicing them, they don't work!"

Deng Shirong also knew that this was his apprentice's limit, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I understand. Cooking in a big vat is just like cooking. Some people can learn almost everything just by watching others cook once, while some people can still make a world of difference even if they are taught step by step. Talent is something that really can't be forced."

Deng Changbiao nodded repeatedly and said, "Master, it's good that you understand. It's not that I didn't try hard, but I just couldn't do it no matter how hard I tried. There's nothing I can do."

Deng Shirong thought that the glory of the big vat master would only last for ten or eight years. Even if his skills were good, they would be useless in ten years. He said with some disinterest: "Forget it. Times are changing too fast now. It is not certain that one can make vats for a lifetime. There is really no need to spend too much time on studying it."

Deng Changbiao saw that his master was in a low mood and thought that his performance had disappointed his master. He said with shame and guilt: "Master, I am sorry for disappointing you!"

Deng Shirong knew his apprentice had misunderstood when he saw this, and waved his hand, saying, "It's none of your business. Just work hard. Things are different now than before. You can do much more. If you want to earn more money to support your family, don't be afraid of hard work."

Deng Changbiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "I understand, Master. I will work hard."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go see how Yuntai is doing!"

Deng Changbiao responded, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the master left. He then focused his attention on the big vat in front of him.

Deng Shirong came to the room where his eldest son was working, and walked around the unfinished vat with his hands behind his back as usual. He found that his eldest son and his apprentice were facing the same problem.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of his second son Deng Yunheng.

In his previous life, after his second son graduated from high school, he failed to get into university, so he came back to learn how to make large vats from him. As a result, he learned all the techniques for making large vats in just one month. After another two or three months of training, the large vats he made were no worse than those made by the old master.

That talent is simply terrifying.

Some people depend on God's mood for their food, while others are chased by God to feed them. His second son obviously belongs to the latter.

"Dad, do you think I'm doing okay?" Deng Yuntai asked with a smile.

Letting his eldest son be the jar master was only temporary, and he would definitely have other arrangements for him in the future. After all, the jar and tile business had no future, and he would not allow his eldest son to develop in this industry.

So Deng Shirong was much more tolerant of his technical standards and replied with a smile: "Well, it's OK." After that, he did not forget to remind him: "Take it easy when you work, don't work too hard. Our family doesn't need your wages. If you accidentally exhaust yourself, it will be a waste of time."

Feeling his father's concern, Deng Yuntai said with a smile on his face, "I know, Dad."

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go talk to your brother Yungui."

"Um!"

Thank you for the reward from God's Sigh, the old leader who has supported Ershe for several books. Let's drink together next time we go to Jingzhou^_^ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
