Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 97
It is not easy to learn a craft these days.Generally, a master craftsman will only teach his skills to relatives and friends, or if the child's parents have a good relationship with the craftsman, then the craftsman will accept the child as an apprentice.

When you become a master, you don't learn the craft right away, but you have to do odd jobs for the master for three years. After three years, you may get a few cents of wages.

And for these three years, if you live in the master's house, you have to pay your own rations.

In addition, during the holidays, the master must be treated with the highest standard, or given gifts, or invited home for dinner.

The reason why Gao Mingcheng dared to come to the door to say this was because he saw that Gao Shouwang had a good impression of him, and he often said good things about himself in the village. Although there was a difference in age between the two, they could still speak well when they met occasionally. talk.

As for Dong Feixia, Gao Mingcheng asked her to make clothes several times, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Gao Shouwang agreed for Dong Feixia, which caused Dong Feixia to stare at him, but she didn't refute and said gently: "Alright then, you can call her over tomorrow morning."

Dong Feixia personally agreed, and Gao Mingcheng was completely relieved, but, he put forward another idea: "Auntie, three years as an apprentice is too long, can you teach me faster, after one year, I want to make more beautiful Go to the clothing store in the county to do something."

This time, even Gao Shouwang felt that Gao Mingcheng was making progress.

Who didn't work for the master for three years to learn the skill?

Seeing the displeasure of Gao Shouwang and Dong Feixia, Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Uncle, Auntie, I can pay the tuition fee! As long as Duomei can get out of the teacher quickly, money is not a problem."

In future generations, if you want to learn crafts and only learn superficial ones, you can just look up tutorials on the Internet; Simple cooking, tailoring, etc.

Gao Mingcheng didn't want to spend three years in many aesthetic arts because he didn't think it was necessary to waste time like this.In the era of rapid economic development, how many opportunities will be missed if you spend three years learning a craft before opening a clothing store or a garment workshop?

Dong Feixia was still displeased, she learned the craft from her aunt, because she was young, she was an apprentice at her aunt's house for five years before she became a teacher.

In the past five years, of course, not all of them were learning crafts, but doing odd jobs, doing housework, and even helping the aunt's house with children.

I learned it with great difficulty, and then I became a tailor myself, taking orders from several nearby villages, and slowly earning some money.

But now Gao Mingcheng let many beauty only learn for one year, which means that in this year, they are basically learning crafts, instead of doing odd jobs for the master's house.

As long as it is someone else who said this, Dong Feixia will scold them away.

Gao Shouwang was also in a dilemma. He liked Gao Mingcheng and was willing to help him, but now he had to listen to his wife whether he wanted to teach skills or not.

Dong Feixia pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, but the first sentence she asked had nothing to do with the matter of apprenticeship.

"Are there many clothing stores in the county? Is the business good?"

Gao Mingcheng was taken aback, and then said: "Not many, but the business is very good. There is a clothing store that gets goods from Yangcheng, which are not available in our county, and they sell very well. It takes three months for a coat to work." salary."

Gao Shouwang's eyes widened instantly, and he said in disbelief, "Three months' salary? Can someone buy this?"

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "There are no shortage of rich people anywhere! There are few people who spend three months' salary on a piece of clothing, but there are many people who are willing to spend one month's salary on buying clothes!" "

Never underestimate the beauty of women's nature!
There is a saying - in a woman's closet, there will always be one piece of clothing missing!
"The people in the county are rich." Dong Feixia said enviously. She is a tailor, so she naturally has a certain understanding of the clothing market.

When she went to the county to get fabrics, she found that there were some new styles in the county. Originally, she wanted to buy one and disassemble it, take it to board, and then follow suit, but in the end she didn't do it.

The main reason is that people in the county pay attention to fashion, but people in the village pay attention to benefits.

Which kind of fabric is worn and durable, which kind of fabric is worn, which kind of cutting method saves cloth, then which kind of cutting method is used.

"Okay, you give 88 yuan of tuition, and give her another gift every year and holiday, and I will guarantee her to learn for a year." Finally, Dong Feixia let go.

"Hey, thank you so much, Auntie, you are so kind!" Gao Mingcheng happily blew rainbow farts at her.

Dong Feixia only charged 88 yuan, which was not much, so it was considered auspicious.

The tuition fee for junior high school in Gaomingli is 17 yuan for one semester, and [-] yuan for three years. It’s just that, after you finish junior high school, the school will not guarantee you a job.

But if you learn the craft of tailoring, it is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl.

"Then I'll bring Duomi over to formally apprentice tomorrow." Gao Mingcheng said happily, and sent the hare he brought, and said: "Uncle, if you want to eat hare and pheasant in the future, just tell me!"

"Hey, good!" Gao Shouwang also laughed happily.

He knew that Gao Mingcheng had a special skill of handling wild rabbits and pheasants, so he would eat a lot of them on weekdays.

Now that Dong Feixia has taken a lot of beauty as apprentices, he can also eat meat.

After Gao Mingcheng left, Gao Shouwang did not forget to praise Dong Feixia: "You are a good apprentice! There will be no shortage of meat in the family from now on."

Dong Feixia pursed her lips and smiled, the only trace of grievance in her heart was gone.

Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng brought a lot of beauty over to learn from his teacher.

In addition to the tuition fee of 88 yuan, Gao Mingcheng also sent a piece of ginseng and a pheasant, which can be said to be very high.

Duomei was a little nervous throughout the whole process. Although they were in the same village and knew each other, the relationship between the two was different after learning from a teacher.

Another one, she didn't expect Gao Mingcheng to spend so much money in order to let her learn art from a teacher!

This made her both moved and anxious.

She was afraid that she would not learn well and Gao Mingcheng's money would be wasted.

From this day on, Duomei officially became Dong Feixia's apprentice and began to work with Dong Feixia.This made many people in the village very envious, and some people asked Dong Feixia why she took many beauties as apprentices, and what many beauties gave to her.

Fortunately, Gao Shouwang and his wife were very tight-lipped, and they didn't say much when asked.

But there are no secrets in the village. Many beautiful families are poor like that. She must not be able to learn from a teacher herself. It must be Gao Mingcheng's efforts.

And after Gao Mingcheng helped Many Mei to learn art from a teacher successfully, he put this matter behind him, because he still had more things to do.
