The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 143 Recruiting Apprentices

On Tang Shunyan's birthday, he played with his friends and asked them to look at his toys. He was so happy, with such warm eyes, which made him feel very proud.

These are the children of rich people, or powerful people, and they want to have what others have.

They had never seen Tang Shunyan's toys before, and they didn't have any. After returning home from the birthday party, they asked their family members to buy them wooden toys.

From this day onwards, there was a boom in wooden toys in Xinxian County. Those who bought toys would show off to their peers, and those who hadn’t bought toys, or those who had fewer different toys than their peers, would ask their parents to buy them.

Knowing about the craze, the Tang family first asked Hongji to stop making large wooden heads of Buddha statues. They knew that this kind of wood is so precious that the less it is sold in the market, the higher the price.

There are more than 20 precious wooden heads carved by Hongji, which have been placed in gold and silver jewelry stores in the county seat, where they are sold at high prices.

People from rich families who like Buddha statues know that Tang's shop sells them, no matter how expensive the price is, they all go to buy a wooden fairy Buddha statue, and there is another wave of wooden fairy statues among wealthy families.

Hongji's ability to carve alone is always limited. The Tang family asked him to carve some small toys. These are the leftover wood from the wooden heads he carved, which are much more valuable than the wooden heads he carved with ordinary wood.

Ye Shiqi is busy every night in the middle of the night, drawing different toys, just like others can't imitate so many, and all they sell are first-hand goods.

Hongji carved small toys, some of which he hadn't seen before, so he didn't know what they were, so he carved them exactly as his daughter drew them.

Ye Shiqi now draws some strange things, such as airplanes, flying arrows, trains, cars, and the 12 zodiac signs. In addition to the 12 zodiac signs, there are other creatures that can be seen and cannot be seen, even the little flying in the sky. Birds, or flying insects, that phoenix, butterflies and so on.

Some strange ones, Ye Shiqi failed to explain to her father what it was, dad should understand the 12 zodiac signs, it is not easy to collect all the 12 zodiac toys.

Because they are all carved with good wood, even if it is leftover good wood, it is still valuable.

The factory has not been built yet, and the tiles are being installed. The workload here at Hongji is getting heavier and heavier, and the second sister's wedding will soon come.

With no other choice, I can only talk to the husband's family to postpone the wedding banquet until February or March next year.

Zhong Xianggui was unwilling at first, but seeing his father-in-law's family's wealth, if his father-in-law's family is richer next year, will he give his daughter more dowry?
You can only choose another auspicious day.

Ye Shuzhi learned that her wedding date was postponed, and was very happy to be able to stay at her mother's house for a few more months. The postponement of the wedding date was good news for him.

I don't want to marry that man for a long time in my heart, but I dare not say no to marrying, I can only take one step at a time, live one day at a time, and enjoy the days to be married.

Hongji felt that he was too busy. Some tasks were too busy for him and his father. Anyway, after the completion of the factory, he had to recruit students.

So I started recruiting some male disciples in the village to help with the work.

As soon as they heard that Hongji was recruiting disciples, all the parents in the village became active and sent their half-grown children and grown-up children to Ye's house.

Ye's courtyard was full of people, besides those boys, there were also parents.

There are more than 100 boys who signed up as apprentices today.

There are also those who signed up to be handymen, adding up, there are more than 200 people.

Except for the young ones, the elderly and middle-aged people who also want to do handyman, the Ye family's yard can't stand people, and the line is very long at the door.

Acer originally recruited a few apprentices to complete his work quickly, but he did not expect that so many people would come when the news was released.

All of them belonged to fellow villagers, which made him a little embarrassed.

What's more, those who sold their land at the entrance of the village persisted in saying that Lizheng had promised them the preferential conditions before, and that their children must be given priority in accepting apprentices.

Hongji looked at the noisy yard, this kind of apprenticeship was so difficult, not only did it fail to speed up, it might delay his work.

In desperation, Li Zheng could only be pushed out.

Lizheng also wanted to select his own son as the first batch. Everyone knew that a master would have big disciples, and the first ones were important members.

Li Zheng didn't dare to make it too obvious, but the promise he said must be fulfilled. He can only say that those who are still working on the construction site should work on the construction site first.

First of all, the factory building on the construction site is completely completed, and the ground and decoration are still needed. Everyone's work cannot be stopped.

What's more, there are only a few people here, and the Ye family's yard can't hold that many people at once. We can only build the factory first, and then we will recruit a lot of people.

He also said that there is no money to be an apprentice now, and those who are waiting to make money should finish the work on those construction sites first, and then enter the factory to work as a handyman and become an apprentice.

Participating in this apprentice selection, there are also those who want to be handymen. Many of them have entered the factory to do small jobs. The daily wages are not bad. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Everyone is working hard to make money and earn a lot of money. The money is used to live a rich year.

As a result, some people were selected and retired, but as the saying goes, when the factory is completed and recruiting people, they must also be given priority, because they are a group of builders.

Li Zheng told them according to Tang Butler that those who work hard will definitely get bonuses, and those who are lazy will lose even the chance to enter the factory.

The parents listened to Li Zheng's words, agreed with him, and guaranteed that their children would be diligent, and those adults who worked on the farm would also promise that they would be diligent and get bonuses.

With Li Zheng's help, he selected a few more striking young people, including his son of course.

Li Zheng was reluctant to let his son go to work in the factory, he was so tired, anyway, the family's cattle had to be looked after, and he had been waiting for Hongji to accept apprentices.

Today is of course the best opportunity, Lizheng seized this opportunity and let his son join the apprenticeship.

The cow at home can't go outside to see the cow in this cold winter, so cut some grass or put some hay for the cow to eat.

Hongji saw the son of the uncle who gave the gift. Among those who built the factory, he was relieved. The son of the uncle was only a few years younger than him, and he was not married yet, so it was difficult. There is no mother at home.

The family is relatively poor. Fortunately, the two father and son are more diligent. Although the young man is weak, as long as he is diligent and relying on his hands, he can always have two full meals.

Lizheng helped select a few apprentices, and started to work immediately. Apart from polishing, their work also included rough work and painting work taught by the master. Dry.

The old man does the painting work every day, and the painting work is not very good. The smell is too bad and it is not good for the health. Occasionally, he will cough twice.
