Just like that, on the twentieth day after arriving in Linji Village, the second and third sons of the Wen family decided to develop their carpentry business and strive to open a furniture store next year.
The next day, after seeing the furniture sample drawings drawn by Xiushui, the two brothers were excited.
Although they are not well-trained, they have been immersed in this industry for more than ten years. Of course, they can see that these things will definitely be best-sellers once they are launched.
Especially the wardrobe that can be used to hang and stack clothes. Wow, it is much more beautiful than the current wardrobes that only have compartments.
With such novel furniture, it is no longer a dream for them to open up the market. Therefore, the two brothers are now full of passion and discuss how to make new furniture every day.
After putting together a wardrobe that could be hung, the two brothers decided to take on an apprentice.
As soon as the news spread, the boys in the village burst into tears of joy. Normally, there wouldn't be this much excitement, but right now, the atmosphere in Linji Village was truly different.
In the past, they had never thought of struggling like this, but after arriving at Critical Village, they knew they would be despised to death if they didn't struggle...
Actually, all this happened because of Xiushui Pharmacy.
Many girls in the village were recruited by the medicine shop that Xiushui was going to open. Because of this, many families in the village who have girls are now happy and no longer say that girls are a loss.
In contrast, the boys in the family have become the ones that are disliked. Many boys who were once treated as treasures are now disliked by adults.
"You say you're a boy, but what's the point? You're good for nothing except strength. Look at your sister. She earns money every day. Thirty-five copper coins a day.
You say you make money, but of the thirty copper coins you earn, ten copper coins will be deducted from your food expenses. I will need to marry you off later, and I will have to save a lot of money.
On the other hand, your sister saved up her dowry on her own, lived on a five-copper meal a day, and the key was that her work was light, much better than your brute strength. As the old lady of the Wen family put it, they were skilled workers.
You don't have to use brute force every day. Your job doesn't require any technical skills, as long as you have strength... In the end, you're just a money-loser..."
Boys are very sinful. When I heard their parents complaining about their sisters being money-losing goods, I didn’t find it offensive at the time.
Now that these names have fallen on my head, why do they sound so harsh?
With such a title of losing money, the boys all hope that someday people in the village will come and recruit a group of boys for them.
They don’t want to be money-losing people, they also want to be the money-making technical kids in the family!
Just when everyone was begging, Uncle Wen Er and Uncle Wen San actually wanted to recruit apprentices.
He also said that as long as you have talent in carpentry, except for the first three months without wages, your wages will increase as your skills improve.
In other words, if you are recruited by Uncle Wen and his team, you can not only learn the carpentry skills, but also earn money in three months.
This, this is no worse than working in a pharmacy. Most importantly, this is definitely a skilled worker praised by my mother and grandmother.
As a result, every family in the village that had a boy would excitedly ask their children to go to the Wen family and find Uncle Wen.
Seeing a large group of people coming to find him, Uncle Wen was so scared that he dropped the chisel in his hand.
"You, what are you doing?"
The parents with their teenage children were stunned for a moment, and then everyone became cautious.
Someone picked up the chisel and put it in his hand, bending over to get closer. "Wen Er, we grew up together and have a life-long friendship. If I hadn't given birth to three sons in a row, I would definitely have become your in-laws.
I said it at the beginning, the sons I gave birth to will be your sons, and from now on these sons will be your third brother's sons, what do you think?"
Wen Laosan, who originally thought that he had nothing to do, trembled and dropped the plane when he heard it.
"I, I have several daughters who are very filial, what do I need your child for!"
The man circled around them. "Hey, there's a saying that an apprentice is better than a son. If my three sons all become your disciples, wouldn't they be even more filial than my three sons?"
"And me, and me, Wen Er. Although I only have Jianwazi in my family, if that kid becomes your disciple, I guarantee that he will be more filial than your son."
"My son can become your disciple or your son-in-law..."
"Hey, Wen San, your family doesn't have a son, but I do. I'm giving my son to you. You can teach him or beat him however you like..."
…
Then, the scene became like the quarrel of tens of thousands of sparrows. The two Wen brothers had never known that when these brothers who grew up together quarreled, they were even more terrifying than women.
The two brothers looked at each other and then slowly watched the group of people quarreling.
When the quarrel had almost died down, Uncle Wen snorted coldly. "Keep quarreling, keep quarreling, or we'll take your child in?"
"Then what do you want to accept it?" Someone shamelessly handed over a cigarette and lit it. The attentive look made Uncle Wen feel like a winner in life for the first time.
He blew out a puff of smoke and glanced sideways at the group. "Of course we're going to take in apprentices, and not just one or two. Let's put it this way, my brothers and I are planning to take in around five each this time."
Everyone was delighted to hear this, and someone even said loudly, "Okay, although you two brothers can make some simple furniture, we are not picky.
We are from the countryside, so it would be a good thing if we could learn a skill and make some money from you guys.
Even if I can’t make money, at least it will save me some trouble when I need to do something at home.”
Uncle Wen saw that although these people were smiling apologetically, they didn't seem to care much, so he realized that they just wanted to learn some simple skills.
But we can't blame them. If they had better skills before, they could have just made a simple living in the village!
Uncle Wen didn't tolerate them, he raised his eyebrows proudly.
“Let me reveal to you that when our skills were just average, we couldn’t even think of taking in apprentices.
"They dared to say that they would take your kid as their apprentice and start paying him after three months. If we didn't have some skills, would we be so bold as to say that?"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and some excitedly grabbed Uncle Wen's hand. "Well, what are you saying? It means that your skills have improved a lot, and now we can learn more advanced crafts from you.
Oh my, if that's true, that would be great. My child will definitely learn well from you and be doubly filial to you as their master in the future."
Everyone followed suit, some even rejoicing, "Ah, thank goodness we're here!" Those who said the Wen brothers' cooking skills were average and disdained their skills must be regretting it now...
