Chapter 143 Apprenticeship Ceremony
In the evening, when Duan Yun came to the village again, he saw Xu Fugui standing at the entrance of the village waiting for him from a distance.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and Xu Fugui directly slaughtered a sheep and two chickens.

In the courtyard of the four bungalows of Xu Fugui's house, a long table has already been set up, and several peasant women are busy on the stove next to the courtyard. There are quite a lot of villagers who come to help.

The village has always attached great importance to apprenticeship, and Xu Fugui is considered the wealthiest family in the village, so ostentation is naturally indispensable.

The long tables in the yard are arranged in three rows, and more than ten people can sit in one row. In the cauldron of the stove, a fat pig's head has been stewed, and a strong smell can be smelled from a long distance away. Fragrant meaty taste.

"This... is too costly." Duan Yun was stunned when he walked into the yard and saw this scene, and said to Xu Fugui who was beside him after recovering.

Duan Yun really didn't expect Xu Fugui to make such a big show. It can be seen that this village still attaches great importance to the matter of apprenticeship.

Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, the traditional apprenticeship ceremony is the dross of the old society, but even so, this kind of traditional apprenticeship ceremony is still common in the folk art world of later generations and the inheritance of craftsmanship in all walks of life.

"Should be, should be!" Xu Fugui said to Duan Yun with a smile on his face at this time: "Although you are young, you are indeed a person with great ability. It’s just that you’ve been eating for decades, I think people can’t be wrong, and it’s their blessing that my two sons can worship you as their teacher.”

"I'm actually just a jerk..." Duan Yun said modestly.

"The more capable a person is, the more humble he is. I'm sure I'm not mistaken." The smile on Xu Fugui's face deepened, and he continued: "You are so skilled and intelligent at such a young age, my two sons I worship you as my teacher, I can't go wrong!"

While Xu Fugui was speaking, he took the position of the host in the middle of the long table, and invited Duan Yun to sit next to him.

Before the banquet begins, a teacher apprenticeship ceremony is conducted.

This time, Xu Fugui invited many old people in the village to his family banquet, who were the witnesses of his apprenticeship.

The fact that Duan Yun runs a workshop in the village is already known to everyone in the village, but most people have never seen Duan Yun himself, and the old man who participated in the apprenticeship ceremony today saw the legendary "Big Boss" like this. When they were young, everyone was surprised.

Usually, in the concept of these villagers, those who have the ability to accept apprentices are high-level craftsmen, and it takes a long time for a craft to go from apprenticeship to mastery, even for people with high savvy, so like It is the carpenters and masons of the village and nearby villages. Generally, people who are at least [-] years old or even [-] years old are eligible to accept apprentices.

But right now, Duan Yun is so young that it is unbelievable. Even in the eyes of many people, Duan Yun's age is just the age when he has just started his apprenticeship. It is really surprising that Duan Yun can accept apprentices at such a young age.

However, doubts belong to doubts, and the face of the village party secretary still has to be given, so these old people in the village are all smiling when they see Duan Yun. The touted Duan Yun felt a little embarrassed.

During this period, Xu Fugui also told Duan Yun the local rules for accepting apprentices.

In fact, the so-called rules are also very simple.

First, the host, Dajun and Erhu's father, made an opening remark.

Then the apprentice salutes the master, the host reads the apprenticeship sticker, then the apprentice pours tea and kowtows to the master, the master reads the apprenticeship sticker, and then gives the apprentice a token, the whole ceremony of apprenticeship is officially over.

As for Dajun and Erhu at this time, although the two of them have not been in contact with Duan Yun for a long time, and they don't know how much Duan Yun is capable of, but the matter of apprenticeship was arranged by his father, two young people who have received strict family education since childhood Naturally, I must obey my father's arrangement, so although I feel a little embarrassed to be a teacher of Duan Yun's peers, I can only accept it.

After everyone arrived, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.

"Be a teacher for one day, and be a father for life. A teacher can pass on, teach, and solve doubts. If you have a good teacher in life, you will avoid many detours and suffer a lot..."

Xu Fugui still had some ink in his stomach, but his opening remarks were forceful and full of energy. As soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became serious.

All the steps were negotiated by Xu Fugui and Duan Yun.

After reading the teacher apprentice post, Xu Fugui winked at his two sons, and the two immediately stepped forward to kowtow and pour tea.

At this time, Duan Yun did not refuse. From a psychological point of view, after all, he is a doctor in his 30s in later generations. He accepted two young people as apprentices.

At the same time, Duan Yun also understands that Xu Fugui arranged this trip because he has seen that Duan Yun is indeed a capable person, rich, skilled, and insightful. If the village wants to become rich in the future, such talents are absolutely desirable. Using my two sons as his apprentices, on the one hand, I want to find a way to make a living for my two uneducated and honest sons, and on the other hand, I want to use this relationship to make Duan Yun and his workshop a long-term In this village, it can be said that killing two birds with one stone.

As for the fact that finding such a young master for his son may cause people to question it, it doesn't really matter. After all, the villagers still respect the capable people the most. As long as his son makes money with Duan Yun, all doubts will be very serious. As soon as the smoke dissipates, the villagers will only envy and admire Xu Fugui's unique vision.

When it was time to send the apprentice a meeting ceremony, Duan Yun handed the two sets of technical school electrical engineering textbooks that he had just received from the technical school for six yuan in the morning to the two of them. Da Jun and Er Hu suddenly showed surprise on their faces.

Next, it was time for the long-awaited dinner party.

In fact, the village of Ma Junying is very poor, and every family can barely get enough food and clothing for a year. Although Duan Yun's family is at the bottom of the family's financial situation in the factory area, in such a village, Gao Xiu'e alone A salary of tens of yuan a month is a proper rich man.

And this time, Xu Fugui spent a lot of money on the teacher apprenticeship ceremony for his two sons. He deliberately killed the only fat pig in the family. Duan Yun secretly admired this courage.

The freshly slaughtered pork tasted very delicious, Duan Yun was not polite, and started to eat it.

Several old people in the village also came forward to clink glasses with Duan Yun one after another, and privately asked him if there were still people in his small workshop. Obviously, their family also had children who wanted to find some money to make a living.

Duan Yun also made a promise about this. In the future, if the business is good and the stall is big, he will definitely recruit people in his village. Hearing this, these old people will compliment Duan Yun even more...
