Chapter 152: Many Skills Don’t Overwhelm the Body
Finally, it was the turn of the slow-moving team, Jin Dajian’s family of five, to collect their food at the instant noodle hill.
Every member of Jin Dajian’s family quickly grabbed a piece of fist-thick noodle stick and took two bites, then took some more and put them in their bags, and then burped happily.
On the side, Shuanzhu’s mother, who was in charge of ordering the queue at the instant noodle hill, urged: “Don’t stop, everyone, take your things and leave quickly. There are many people behind you.”
< br>Jin Dajian asked his mother-in-law to lead his family to go first, then he walked out of the team and walked towards Shuanzhu's mother.
When Shuan Zhu's mother saw Jin Dajian leaving the queue, she hurriedly shouted: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? The village chief told me, you must drive in order!"
Jin Dajian She smiled and said, "Auntie, can I ask something? You know Hongya Village, over there in Xishan Town."
Shuan Zhu's mother was quite polite to Jin Dajian, it seemed. There was no hostility, so he nodded and said: "Ah, I know, my parents' home is not far from there. What are you asking about?"
Jin Dajian smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm there While I’m working, I’ve been to the Tushan Temple over there before. I want to ask if there is a temple for gods here too!” Isn’t this a joke? Look at the mountain of food. Where did it come from? If it weren’t for the temple of the old man, it would be okay! ”
Jin Dazhu looked happy and said: "Then I can go to the temple to worship!"
Shuan Zhu's mother looked tight and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. You have to ask the village chief. Go, but the village chief is busy now, so you should go into the team and wait until you have settled in your accommodation before talking to the village chief."
Jin Dajian smiled and said, "Okay, I will. I know, it’s actually nothing. I was born as a carpenter and stonemason, and I thought about how I could do something to express my gratitude for the great kindness I received from the immortal grandfather, if there was any work that I could do in the temple. , just let me know.”
Jin Dajian did make a living by craftsmanship, which was passed down from generation to generation, not only to him.
Because the carpentry and masonry skills are pretty good, the family's life has always been decent.
Everyone in Shiliba Village knows that if they need carpenter or stonemason work, they should go to Lao Jin’s house.
Over time, the farmer at home stopped farming, and the family concentrated on craft work, and the income was pretty good.
Unfortunately in the year of famine, there was no harvest at all, and the villagers tightened their belts to get by.
Most of the villagers’ homes have no additional expenses except for the food they just need, so there is naturally less work for carpenters and masons on the market.
The income of Jin Dajian's family has naturally plummeted. In addition, his old father passed away the year before last, and it is even more difficult for Jin Dajian to shoulder the burden of supporting the family by himself.
In addition, he has been busy working as a mason and carpenter over the years, and his skills in farming have also deteriorated a lot. In the years of famine, there was no harvest.
In desperation, he went to work as a miner in the black gold mine, earning relatively high wages and barely supporting his family.
Hearing that Jin Dajian was actually a carpenter and a stonemason, Shuan Zhu's eyes lit up and asked, "Can you do the work of a carpenter and a stonemason?"
Jin Dajian nodded and said : "I have been doing this craft passed down from my ancestors for many years! I have been doing it since my grandfather's generation."
Shuan Zhu's mother looked happy. These days, the village chief has called everyone together and is thinking about renovating it. As for the mountain temple, I have been researching it for a long time but still have no results due to the lack of reliable masons.
Isn’t this stonemason who comes to your door a timely gift?
Shuan Zhu's mother said happily: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll ask the village chief to talk to you. He is busy looking for a mason."
After that, Shuan Zhu Her mother shouted at the top of her voice: "Village chief! Village chief! There is a man here who is a mason. Come and have a look."
Li Kanshan was discussing with Li Laosan, Li Qingjiang and others about the division of houses. Something happened, I heard Shuan Zhu's mother's cry from a distance, his eyes lit up, and he walked over.
“Are you a stonemason?”
Jin Dajian nodded and said: "My surname is Jin! Everyone in the ten miles and eight villages in the north of Shanyang City knows me!"
"Jin!" Before Li Kanshan could speak, Li Kanshan stood beside him. Qingjiang nodded and said: "When I was an assistant teacher at a school in the county, I heard that the gold and stone masons were very skilled. The two stone lions at the gate of the school were engraved with the word 'gold'. I heard that they were "They made it at home."
Jin Dajian nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, it was made by my father and I. It should have been made more than 20 years ago. My father and I made it several times at that time. The genius is finished. I heard from my father a few years ago that the county's academic advisor was already the admiral of academic affairs in Daotai Yamen. "
The county's academic advisor is in charge of the entire county's studies. Matters, schools, and examinations are all within his jurisdiction.
The academic supervisor of Daotai Yamen is even more remarkable. Although the content of the supervisor is quite different, it is still within the scope of the study examination, but because the talents who have passed the imperial examination over the years are all students of the academic supervisor, so in In terms of status, he is not inferior to all other officials in Daotai Yamen except for the top leader.
Therefore, Jin Dajian emphasized one sentence to increase the gold content of his words.
Li Qingjiang nodded and said: "That's it! Your stonemason's skills are really good. Over the years, the two stone lions have become more and more brilliant. There are no cracks at all."
Li Kanshan heard that Jin Dajian was not only a mason, but also a good craftsman, and he immediately said happily: "Master Jin, our village is currently preparing to repair the temple of Grandpa Mountain God. Reshaping the golden body, I barely made doors and windows, but since everyone is not very good at mining stones, we are still at a loss. If you are willing to help us, I can make the final decision for the Mountain God. I'll give you one of the braised pork strips."
Jin Dajian smiled honestly and said: "Then I will be the village chief for the child's grandfather. I don't have anything to do, I am just worried that the children will be greedy. "
As soon as these words were spoken, it meant that Jin Dajian agreed to work hard.
Li Kanshan was very happy and said: "It's easy to say, since Master Jin you have a family, I will also think of a way to make a house for Master Jin and your family to live in." Jin Dajian waved his hand and said: "No way. , the house is very nervous, we are very happy to have a place to stay."
Li Kanshan immediately shook his head and said: "Don't worry about the house, my grandson is gone now. It would be wasteful for me to live alone at home. The worst I can do is move out and squeeze in with my third child, so I can’t offend you.”
People with skills are still very popular, especially your specialties. Just when the other party needs it urgently.
So people often say that having too many skills is not a burden!
Jin Dajian did not refuse this time. After all, it was much more convenient for the whole family to live together.
Jin Dajian turned to say: "Village chief, where is the temple of our mountain god grandpa? If it is convenient, you can have someone take me to the temple to see it first. I will make plans early!"
Li Kanshan pointed in the direction of the mountain temple in the distance and said: "It's halfway up the mountain. I'm too busy to leave here. Qingjiang, please take Master Jin there."
Li Qingjiang responded and took Jin Dajian to the mountain temple.
Jin Dajian has reached middle age, but he was born to do physical work after all. After climbing halfway up the mountain in one breath, Li Qingjiang said tiredly that he should rest for a while. Jin Dajian had already opened the door and entered the mountain temple. He looked at it.
In the mountain temple, there is only one statue in the main direction, unlike the two statues that coexist in Hongya Village.
However, there are two statues on the left and right sides of the mountain temple.
Because there had been a fire here before, the doors and windows were all replaced.
Jin Dajian walked over and looked at it carefully for a while, then shook his head slightly, obviously not very satisfied with the craftsmanship.
Walking to the incense table, Jin Dajian lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, then knelt on the futon and bowed.
Xu Bo'an has just finished a busy morning's work, and his wrist for signing is a little numb.
While I was walking around the room, shaking my hands, the incense suddenly gained another wisp of energy.
Xu Boan subconsciously glanced inside the Shan Temple and immediately saw Jin Dajian!
Huh? It's actually this guy!
Others are still busy down there, why is this kid already running up to burn incense for himself?
"Jin Dajian! Why did you come up here if you weren't busy packing your luggage and settling down as soon as possible!"
As soon as Xu Boan spoke, Jin Dajian's eyes widened, and then he smiled.
"Grandpa Fairy, you know me! I guessed it right! It is indeed you!"
Xu Bo'an said with a smile: "Of course it is me. How is your recovery going? ?”
Jin Dajian said hurriedly: “Thanks to you, there is no problem. When I was working as a mason, someone else just gave me some fairy grass. I will follow your instructions when I return. , after using it, the effect was very good, and the disease was almost cured."
Xu Bo'an was very curious and said: "Mason? You still have this skill?"
Jin Dajian said: " The craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors. Just now, Village Chief Li said that he wanted to recast the golden body and repair the temple for you. I happen to have this skill and I am looking for help to thank you for your great kindness to me. "
Xu Bo'an. With a smile, he took out a piece of hand-shredded bread from the snacks on the side, opened it, pinched out a bunch of bread crumbs, put it gently on the incense table, and said: "You can take these snacks back to the children. If they are ready, Yes, I will be rewarded heavily!”
Xu Boan actually doesn’t care about whether it’s old or new.
He doesn’t really live in it anyway.
But as a leader, he naturally knows not to dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates who are willing to work.
Providing timely rewards can actually increase people's motivation to catch up and surpass others.
Jin Dajian thanked Xu Boan with great gratitude.
Xu Bo'an smiled and was about to see how the work of resettling the refugees in Kaoshan Village was going, when suddenly his cell phone rang.
"Mom! You finally have time to pay attention to me." Xu Bo'an greeted with a smile.
In the past two days, Chen Pingping accompanied Xu Boan's parents on a tour nearby. It was a rare opportunity for the two elders to have such an old opportunity, and they were so excited that they became more and more enthusiastic the more they visited.
On the phone, Xu Boan's mother Tang Rongzhi said mysteriously: "Bo'an, please come back for lunch today. I asked for a prescription for you in the temple. I heard that you insist on taking it. , I can give birth to a boy!”
Hearing this, Xu Boan couldn’t laugh or cry.
Good guy, the old lady has been deceived again.
If this prescription really existed, and if I applied this prescription directly to the bonsai world, aside from other things, the incense and aspiration power would not rise like the tide of Qiantang Lake!
