The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Niu Li and Taoci Zhang blinked their eyes and stared at Ni'er's opening and closing mouth, with some remnants of ribs in the gap.

I was imagining how delicious it must be. Why was I pretending just now? It would be useless if I went up to grab some and eat it.

"Mmm~ It smells so good~"

Nier closed her eyes and shook her head, immersed in the joy of eating ribs. However, this joy was not entirely brought by the ribs, but also the pleasure of snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

There was a greasy and sticky soup on his lips. He spat out the bone and licked his lips with his tongue. He didn't want to waste any of it.

The two of them were stunned. They each picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in their mouths, chewing with a crunching sound, as if they were venting their anger. They really regretted their decision.

Nier opened her eyes and let her gaze linger between the two of them. As she watched them munching on the vegetables, she felt like a winner.

I can't suppress the corners of my mouth, but these two people have really similar personalities and tastes.

Zhang Taoci also noticed this, and the child was smart enough, so he would not be slow in learning things. It was just a bit troublesome that he liked to eat the same thing as himself.

I am a foodie myself, and I am unwilling to share things I like with others. But if I accept him as my apprentice, I will have to share half of the delicious food with him. I cannot let the reputation of abusing my apprentice get out.

It's better to ask him about his wishes. It's really not easy to meet someone with good qualifications. At worst, I can share any delicious food with him in the future. I made such an important decision in my heart.

"Little friend, your name is Niu Li, right?"

Niu Li nodded, "Well~how do you know my name?"

"I heard your sister mention it."

Taoci opened his mouth and pulled it up, revealing what he thought was a kind smile, but he didn't know that this expression made people feel cold.

It was as if he was a human trafficker who successfully tricked a child into giving him something and then sold him off.

"Do you know what I do?"

Niu Li felt a little flustered by this smile. Why was this man looking at him like that? He would never take him away and sell him in broad daylight in public.

Could it be that he was holding a grudge against me for snatching meat from him just now, so he was seeking revenge in various ways? Never mind, if the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. There are so many people here, no one would dare to do anything to me.

"I know a little bit. The squat toilet in our house was made by you."

"I heard from my sister that this thing cannot be made by ordinary people, so we specially found a master."

Taoci Zhang felt very happy when he heard these words. It turned out that this was how Ni'er told them about herself. If he felt that she was very capable and they admired her very much, it would be easier for him to accept her as his apprentice without having to waste all that time talking.

Zhang originally wanted to ask about the feeling of squat toilets, but when he thought about the time when he was eating, he felt too embarrassed to open his mouth and thought about waiting a while before asking.

Niu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was just a ceramic product after all. The master's craftsmanship was extraordinary. If he didn't tell others about it now, he probably wouldn't have any chance in the future.

"I was amazed when I saw it for the first time. How could someone make something like this? The glaze is smooth and white. The round and flat parts fit together perfectly. They are all very neat, without any bulges or depressions. When I tap it with my hand, the echo is very even. It is definitely not a vulgar thing."

Niu Li picked up the bowl in his hand, rubbed it with his index finger a few times, and thought back to the squat toilet, "It's more exquisite than the bowls we use for meals at home."

Zhang Taoci was surprised that these words came from the mouth of a little kid. He wondered if someone had taught him. However, judging from the way his father and mother spoke, they didn't seem to be so sophisticated, so it could only be Ni'er.

It's not easy to learn and speak so fluently. Could it be that the words were taught to him beforehand and he memorized them?

He turned his head to look at Ni'er, and Ni'er felt a pair of eyes looking at her, with some doubt and inquiry in them. Without looking at him, she rolled her eyes slightly and understood why Taoci Zhang had such an idea.

If I explain it myself, wouldn't it be impolite to try to cover up the truth? So I decided to let Niu Li speak for himself. I gave my brother a look, and he immediately understood what he meant.

Niu Li curled his lips slightly and said, "Can't you explain it? I can explain it. It's the same thing."

Taoci Zhang couldn't help but be curious, "Did anyone teach you those words just now?"

Without even thinking, he blurted out, "No one taught me how to make it. When I saw it for the first time, I felt that it was different from all the ceramic products I had seen before. It looked strange, but still so beautiful. No wonder it takes a master to make it."

Taoci Zhang somewhat believed what Niu Li said. It was not easy for a child of a few years old to express his sincerity in his expression and tone. It would be terrible if it was all fake.

Nier found the conversation interesting. Since Zhang Taoci couldn't convince herself, he turned to convince his brother, which was exactly what she wanted.

Although my younger brother is young, he is also very thoughtful.

If your family has no power or influence, your future career will not be smooth sailing even if you choose to be a government official. Having a skill is also a good choice.

I didn't expect that Master Zhang really likes Niu Li. It's good to have one more choice. I can listen to his ideas and respect and support whoever he chooses.

Zhang looked at Niu Li's sparkling eyes that seemed to have stars in them, and gritted his teeth. If Niu Li really became his apprentice, Zhang would just share the delicious food with him. "Are you interested in learning how to make ceramics from me?"

Lao San and Yan Zi stopped what they were doing, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and looked at each other in surprise.

I heard from Ni'er that this master is a very famous ceramic craftsman and one of the best in the capital.

His works are in the homes of dignitaries, and he is famous all over the world. Even in small places like this, people know him and often invite him to dinner.

I rarely saw him when I was studying with my master. He was always at other people's homes, where he was treated to delicious food and wine.

Niu Lixue has a very good skill, but he is a farmer after all, and one cannot expect him to have a great future. There is no one at home to support him, so he has to rely on himself in the future. Wouldn't it be easier if he had a master to look after him?

Although farmers respect and envy scholars, scholars do not necessarily earn as much as craftsmen, and respectability cannot be used to make a living.

The third brother and Yan Zi were not going to help Niu Li make a decision. Like Ni'er, they were waiting to hear their son's opinion. Whether it was studying or learning a craft, it would be good. The whole family was staring at Niu Li, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

He lowered his head, drooped his eyelids, thought for a moment, then slowly raised his head. His eyes changed from confusion and doubt to determination and clarity.

"I still want to go to school. It's good to have a skill, and I can support my family with it in the future, but I prefer studying."
