Chapter 138 Are you willing to become my disciple?
In Shen Qingqian's opinion, there is nothing wrong with the public disclosure of the lost wax method, because it involves mold casting and some sophisticated processing techniques and methods that ordinary people may not be able to learn.
Besides, historical experience has shown that hoarding one's own things really does affect the progress of society and science.
Old Qin frowned and thought for a long time, then he spoke as if he had made up his mind, "I have nothing against it. In fact, I have long thought that the reason why various tools are so backward nowadays may be because of those old stubborn people who set up the rules of passing skills from father to son, or not passing on skills to outsiders."
It was also because of this that he was so surprised when he learned that the drawings in his hand were made by the girl, and he was eager to see them.
"Mr. Qin is so righteous." Shen Qingqian gave him a thumbs up in praise.
Now that this old man has figured it out, things will be easy from now on.
It was noon. After learning about the situation, Mrs. Wu invited Mr. Qin to stay for dinner. Mr. Qin was not particular about trivial matters, and he wanted to chat more with Shen Qingqian, so he agreed readily.
The Shen family is now short of money and has little food stored at home. The only thing they can offer is the wild game that Shengze and Lingyun hunted on the way to exile.
So, in addition to the mixed grain rice and two stir-fried wild vegetables, this meal also consisted of several kinds of wild game in small portions.
Old Qin didn't have much demand for food, but instead asked Shen Qingqian many questions at the dinner table in a casual manner.
Shen Qingqian didn't dare to say too much, so she just mumbled some basic things.
Just after dinner, Old Qin looked at her with shining eyes and asked, "Girl, how about you become my disciple? You only have ideas in your mind but can't do them with your own hands. If you become my disciple, all these won't be a problem."
Shen Qingqian: ""
Is it really necessary to accept a disciple like this?
She doesn't want to become a disciple now because her family really needs someone to stay with her.
Moreover, the master-disciple relationship in this era was different from that of modern times. Back then, they were to be treated as their own parents. She couldn't even take care of Liang, so how could she have the energy to find a master for herself?
"Why, you are not happy?" Qin Lao's face immediately fell, and he said pitifully, "Do you know how many people want to become my disciples?"
He didn't give in even though the old guys in the Armoury were courting him all day long. Unexpectedly, the first time he wanted to take a disciple, he was rejected by a little girl.
Sad, uncomfortable, and want to cry.
Shen Qingqian was really at a loss for words. "Even if I'm willing, I can't leave given our family's situation. Besides, we are exiles now, and our status has too many restrictions. It may not be of any benefit to you to become my disciple."
"Am I that kind of person, old man?" Old Qin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared when he heard this. "If it were someone else, I might have hesitated a little, but your grandfather was such a man. His descendants have such talent. It is truly a blessing from heaven to our Great Jin."
After hearing this, Shen Qingqian didn't know how to respond.
"Master Qin, shouldn't we go back?" Shen Xiao saw that Shen Qingqian had no intention of becoming his disciple, so he reminded him at the right time.
He was originally dragged out by Old Qin, and he didn't even say hello to the person in charge of the Military Equipment Bureau. If he went back too late, he would have a hard time explaining himself.
Qin Lao rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you afraid of? I brought you up here. How dare Su Muliang punish you?"
Shen Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment and could only look at Shen Qingqian helplessly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Qin," Shen Qingqian politely bowed to Mr. Qin, "but now is not a good time to become my disciple. I hope you can forgive me."
