I have to say that Qi Xiaoxue is a woman who is very good at fishing.
Otherwise, we would not have defeated so many competitors and won over Xu Boan, a potential stock who was well-known in Shilibaxiang at that time.
To this day, although it has faded away, its charm still remains in the eyes of many people.
Although it may be a little difficult to catch a rich man-in-law, it is a little less easy.
But if you want to catch a few generous players, you still have the ability to pinch them.
Of course, the above sentence is what Qi Xiaoxue thinks.
There are many people who think the same as Qi Xiaoxue.
For example, the classic "If it doesn't work out, just find a rich man you don't like", "If it doesn't work out, just go back and take a job examination", "If it doesn't work out, just go back to your hometown and live with a small leader for the rest of your life. ”, and so on.
I don’t know where these weird ideas come from, but they poison many people who are obsessed with self-confidence. They let go of their good lives and act like monsters all day long!
Compared with this impetuous advanced society, most people in the bonsai world are more simple-minded in their thoughts.
The little people trapped in the jelly shell stopped fighting now.
The mountain god Grandpa has personally shown himself as a saint and has personally warned and punished both parties. Why are they fighting?
If the fight continues like this and Grandpa Mountain God becomes angry again and turns their temporary detention into long-term detention, it will not be good.
The rest of the villagers, seeing that the matter here was over, stopped watching and dispersed to do their work. Only a few relatives and friends of the little people locked in the jelly shells were still reluctant to leave. Waiting outside.
Li Kanshan asked people to continue working with a clear division of labor. Not far away, he saw Jin Dajian walking towards him with a worried look on his face.
"Master Jin, what's wrong with you? You look so sad." Li Kanshan took the initiative to say hello.
Jin Dajian came closer, forced out an awkward smile, and said with cupped hands: "Old village chief, the stones above have been raised and the wood has been prepared. But there is a problem that is not easy to solve. The problem has delayed the progress of building the house. I came down to find a solution for you and see if I can help solve it."
Li Kanshan nodded and said: "Master Jin, don't be so polite. Well, we are all working for Grandpa Shan Shen. No matter what happens to you, I will definitely help and support you. Tell me what problem you encounter, and I will help you find a solution right away."
Jin Dajian spread his hands and said: "That's right, old village chief, you also know that I am a stonemason. I have been working outside for many years, and I have also learned some skills as a carpenter and mason." ,
The wood we have here is pretty good. It’s easy for me to get started with the carpentry work. I even brought a few helpers with me. Everyone was very attentive and learned quickly. Very good.
But I can no longer hold on to my job as a mason! "
Li Kanshan said curiously: "Oh? Why is this? Master Jin. "
Jin Dajian sighed and said: "Well, it can be said that I am not good at learning. It is like this. When we used to build houses outside, the masons used to mix yellow mud. material as a binding material.
Just mix loess and water, pour in hair and hemp rope or dry grass, stir evenly and it is ready to use. It has a very good effect on adhering to stones and is also very useful for wiping walls.
But the soil quality here is not suitable for making yellow clay material. I tried several times but failed to mix the proportions. Either the bonding was not strong or it dried too fast.
I don’t know how to use other materials. Without adhesive materials, the house cannot be built. We still have to find a professional mason. Do any of us newcomers know how to make masons’ ingredients? "
Hearing Jin Dajian's words, Li Kanshan also looked embarrassed and said: "Master Jin, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. If you are short of labor and lack of people to work, I can still find some for you.
Even if you let those who make a living in the fields come up to help temporarily, but the mason you are looking for Master, we really don’t have one here. When we called the master craftsman earlier, you were already the only craftsman.
Although some of the people who came later have done some work, they are all small jobs and can help you. If you ask them to be masters themselves, they will not be able to do it. "
Jin Dajian said anxiously: "Then... what should I do? I also said that I want to repair the temple of Grandpa Mountain God in a month. If I continue to delay it indefinitely, this will not work. I can't explain it to Grandpa Mountain God. I don’t have the shame to see him again. ”
Li Kanshan tentatively suggested: "How about this? Let's go to the county to hire a mason? Is this feasible?"
Jin Dajian shook his head and said: "I won't hide it from you. Said, I have had this idea before, but when I think about it carefully, it is absolutely a fantasy, because the county just suffered a disaster as big as the Baimian rebels and the Qianliang rebels.
This is terrible. It’s a time when everything is waiting for things to be done, there is a lot of work, and every craftsman’s house is full of work. On weekdays, everyone secretly does some private work, but no one strictly investigates it.
Under this situation, Anyone who dares to come out to take private work will be punished by going to jail. No one dares to take this job." After hearing this, Li Kanshan nodded and said, "Say. Yes, is there any other way? For example, we can go to the county and ask the old masons to teach us about the ingredients."
Jin Dajian shook his head. , said with a wry smile: "This is even more impossible. To learn this knowledge, you must at least really follow it. Oral teaching is of no use, but now the county is so busy that no one has the time to teach. Give it to us."
Li Kanshan asked without giving up: "How about we give him some money?"
Jin Dajian said: "No one I know wants to give him money. It’s not easy. Under the current special situation, the government manages these craftsmen in a unified way. Before redeeming the craftsmanship and becoming a free agent, whoever dares to be lazy and do not do serious tasks to take on private work will be punished with a beating of thirty with a cane and a prison sentence. ."
Li Kanshan trembled all over after hearing this.
Thirty spankings with a cane may not sound like much, but as long as someone is willing to use force, it will definitely cause you so much pain that you won’t be able to get out of bed for three months.
Li Kanshan sighed: "Is there really no other way?"
Jin Dajian was about to speak when he heard a shout not far away.
"Old village chief, someone is looking for you. Our second leader, Yu Er, asked me to bring it to you quickly."
Jin Dajian and Li Kanshan looked sideways at the same time, and saw the guard guarding the city wall. A young man with petals in his hair and ragged clothes walked over.
"Hello, Master Jin!" As he approached, the young man greeted Jin Dajian politely.
Jin Dajian is a craftsman. In this society, there are quite a few people who use him, and he is also considered the person in front of Grandpa Mountain God here, so most people are relatively polite to him.
Jin Dajian smiled and responded: "Hey, okay, okay, hello."
Li Kanshan asked: "Brother, what's going on?"
At first glance, this man must be around sixty years old, so it would be appropriate to call him brother.
The young man guarding the city who brought him here introduced: "This uncle said that he was a bricklayer. Weren't you still looking for craftsmen before? As soon as our second master heard about it, he hurriedly arranged for me Bring someone here to report to you.”
"What? Mason!" Jin Dajian and Li Kanshan exclaimed at the same time, and then looked at each other in disbelief.
What a surprise, what a surprise.
The right mind is complaining about the lack of masons, and this is quickly done? It was as if someone gave me a pillow just as I fell asleep!
The young man guarding the city gate didn't know why the two people reacted so fiercely, and asked hurriedly and curiously: "Um... yes, it's a mason, what's wrong? Is there a problem? Is there no shortage? "
Before Li Kanshan could speak, Jin Dajian said impatiently: "No, no problem!" In response, Jin Dajian hurriedly looked at the older man. He said: "Big brother, are you really a mason?"
The gray-haired man nodded and said: "Yes, it is a craft passed down from ancestors. It has been more than 30 years since I learned it. I spent a few years doing other things for a living, but I didn’t expect that I would have to rely on this craft to support myself in the future.”
Jin Dajian was immediately confused when he heard this.
It is too late to learn a craft inherited from the family at the age of ten. Why is it only over thirty years ago?
Looking at the age of the other party, this seems a bit inappropriate. Maybe he met a liar.
Jin Dajian asked curiously: "More than thirty years? Family history? How noble are you now?"
The gray-haired man raised his hand, shook it forward and back, and said: "Fifty years old. He looks very old, right? He is tired from working hard all these years. He looks old!”
One thing to say, this old man’s body is really not well maintained.
But when you put it this way, the thing is right. It should be a serious family craft.
After all, it’s tiring to do this job, so it’s normal to look old.
Jin Dajian sighed and said: "Everyone in our industry looks old. By the way, brother, what should I call you?"
"The surname is Huang, and it's a three-character name. , just call me Lao Huang!" The man introduced himself.
Jin Dajian also introduced: "Brother Huang, my name is Jin Dajian, and I am a stonemason. This is the village chief here, Village Chief Li."
Li Kanshan took the initiative to extend his help. He took action and said: "Master Huang, you are welcome to come to our mountain village."
Huang San raised his hand to shake hands with Li Kanshan, and then exchanged greetings with Jin Dajian: "Masons and masons are not separated from each other. Speaking of it, we can be regarded as our own family."
Jin Dajian said: "Yes, Brother Huang , or you came at the right time, only my family can be relied upon. We happen to have a problem here. I can't get along with the mud, and it doesn't stick to the rocks at all. Do you think there is any way? ?"
Huang San said very slowly: "Mud? I just noticed the soil quality on the way here. To be honest, the soil quality is not very good. I was talking about building a house. , this soil is not good. Using this thing and grass hair alone cannot achieve the adhesive effect."
"What should I do?" Jin Dajian asked impatiently.
Huang San said softly: "According to my experience, this kind of soil needs to be mixed with lime and glutinous rice paste. Mix them together to form a triple soil, and the adhesion effect will be quite good."
< br>When Jin Dajian heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "Sanhe soil? Oh my God, you actually know how to use Sanhe soil. We are in short supply of this when building a house above. We hope that I can help us."
Huang Sanba smacked his mouth, his lips were obviously dry, and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, but I haven't drank water or eaten anything during this whole journey. I really can't bear it anymore. Please see if it's convenient first." Give me some water to drink?”
Li Kanshan nodded immediately and said: “Of course it’s okay, let’s go inside and chat first, I’ll get you some water to drink first, there’s nothing to eat at the moment, but The meal has already been cooked, and it will be ready in a while, so of course you can take part."
Huang Sanyi was filled with emotion when he heard that he was eating and drinking. He felt that he had come to the right place, and he said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I won't say thank you for your kindness. As long as you have no need for me, I will do my best and I will never refuse."
The young man who sent him said goodbye and left, saying: "Old man Village Chief, Master Jin. Now that the people have been sent here, my task is completed. You guys should be busy first. I will go back and report to the second master."
Both of them waved to the young man in a friendly manner, and the man went back to the city wall.
Soon, Li Kanshan delivered a bowl of water.
After drinking a bowl of water, Huang San's complexion looked much better.
Huang San wiped his mouth with a rag-like sleeve and said with satisfaction: "Where is your construction site? Let me go and have a look. Give it a try and see if I can get some pictures for you." "
Li Kanshan waved his hands and said, "Master Huang, this is not possible. It is a big deal to work on an empty stomach. We are not in a hurry to fill our stomachs at this time. Good to go."
Huang San coughed twice and said, "I understand your good intentions. I have no big problem. Don't worry, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my health."
Jin Dajian was very happy. , and immediately had a heated discussion with Huang San about the details of building a house.
This side of the Second Construction of Dongjiang River.
Xu Bo'an held a meeting at the company all afternoon, so he didn't have time to pay attention to things in the bonsai world.
Otherwise, I will tell them, stop working, I will just give you some mortar.
This is what we specialize in.
Before leaving get off work, Xu Boan received a message from Lu Yan and told him the location of the dinner.
The familiar Dynasty Hotel!
Xu Boan took out the two brown bears and filial rabbits from the bonsai, asked the kitchen to process them, and then vacuum packed them.
Put one in the refrigerator for the time being, and take the other directly with you to give to Lu Yan later, which can be regarded as a courtesy.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Xu Bo'an arrived on time.
This is the peak dining period at the Dynasty Hotel.
As soon as Xu Bo'an entered, he saw an old acquaintance walking out of it with a bad look on his face, cursing at the same time.
When Xu Boan saw this, he immediately frowned. (End of this chapter)
