The system wants my local master gl

Song Yuyan was afraid that the progress of building the wax garden would have to slow down a lot if the problem of insects was not overcome for a day, so Tang Zhi said to Song Yuyan, "Teach me how to distinguish which insect species can be kept, and I will help you."

Song Yuyan naturally agreed: "I don't want you to work for me for nothing, I will pay you."

Tang Zhi stretched out his hand: "Bring it."

Song Yuyan: "..."

She touched her body and even took out the last copper coin. She said cheekily, "That's all you have on your body. I'll give you the rest next time?"

Tang Zhi didn't really intend to ask her to take out the money so soon, besides, she never thought about asking Song Yuyan to pay her wages in the first place.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhi scolded himself: "What am I doing in such a hurry to work for others? Isn't this insulting myself!"

But when she thought of Song Yuyan who was standing next to her carefully teaching her how to distinguish insect species, her heart became confused again, her behavior was illogical, and she couldn't figure it out, so she simply let this feeling pass without understanding.

Song Yuyan bit the bullet and taught Tang Zhi how to choose insect species, and then Tang Zhi thought about it for a while, and after she got started, he taught the Lou family to choose a man to maintain the wax garden.

Seeing Tang Zhi working so hard, Song Yuyan was not idle. She ran to Lou Gao and said, "Look, Miss Tang is very talented. With such an educational talent, we should train her to be a 'chooser'." A kind of trainer', this trainer should pay more attention... In the future, every time a batch of employees come to the wax garden, the trainer will be able to conduct professional training for them, so that the employees can get started quickly and improve our efficiency."

After listening for a long time, Lou Gao finally understood the relationship between "trainer" and "employee". He felt that the profession of "trainer" was quite new.

You must know that a skill has been controlled by craftsmen throughout the ages, and they are not willing to pass it on to the outside world. Therefore, if you want to learn a skill, you must first learn from a teacher, or become an apprentice, and then suffer under the master's hands for several years or even ten years. Only then can you become a teacher and stand on your own.

Because in the era without patents and copyrights, craftsmen paid great attention to protecting their skills and secret recipes, so once a craftsman who held the skills and secret recipes in his hand died, this skill was considered lost.

If there is a trainer, then the "one-to-one" teaching mode can be changed to the "one-to-many" teaching mode, which saves time and improves efficiency.The disadvantage is probably that this skill is easy to spread and is no longer exclusive.

Thinking of this, Lou Gao said: "But I don't think ordinary craftsmen would be willing to pass on their unique secret skills to outsiders."

Song Yuyan said: "Mr. Lou Erlang hasn't figured out the difference between a trainer and a craftsman. A trainer doesn't need to be someone who has a unique secret skill. He only needs to know a simple knowledge that ordinary people don't understand."

"It's like picking insect seeds. This is not a unique secret skill, but everyone doesn't know how to choose insect seeds. Is it possible that if this skill is not spread to the outside world, you must first learn from the wax garden? This is not practical. .”

"If there is a trainer, the trainer can carry out different teaching according to the division of labor of each clerk. For example, teach one group of clerks how to select insect species, teach another group of clerks how to maintain saplings, and teach another group of clerks how to Hanging worms, raising worms, and finally teaching the rest of the staff to harvest wax and pick seeds.”

"Another advantage of doing this is that all the guys in the garden have the same knowledge, that is to say, there is no distinction between them, and everyone has the same status, so they won't be offended when they work."

The traditional model is basically "the master leads the apprentice". Often the apprentice depends on the master's face to act. If the master scolds the apprentice at every turn, the apprentice will not be angry?If all the employees in Wax Garden are equal, then once the reward and punishment system is adopted, there will be less room for maneuvering. Working hard and letting the managers see their efforts is the only way to be promoted.

After listening to Lou Gao, he agreed, "It's a good idea. One person can replace several masters, and the salary is only paid once when training is needed, which saves money."

So it didn't take long before Tang Zhi was hired as a trainer in the wax garden, who specially trained the newcomers in the wax garden on how to raise white wax worms.

Tang Zhi wanted to refuse at first, because she learned all the breeding lessons from Song Yuyan. In terms of rich experience, she is not as good as Song Yuyan.However, Lou Gao offered a high salary of "[-] renminbi for half a day of training", and for the sake of the generous salary, she agreed without any backbone.

Song Yuyan said: "Originally full-time trainers can charge more for training, but considering that the Tang family still has a vegetable garden to take care of, you can only spare half a day, so the fee will be halved."

Tang Zhi came to his senses: "Could it be that you didn't want to pay me, so you came up with this 'trainer' so that Mr. Lou Erlang could pay me?"

Song Yuyan felt guilty for a moment, but could she admit it?Of course not!So he said confidently: "This is for the wax garden, and the accounts will naturally have to be published."

Tang Zhi felt more and more that Song Yuyan was an empty-handed white wolf, but after thinking about it, she understood this truth, how could Lou Gao not understand?But Lou Gao still accepted Song Yuyan's suggestion, which meant that what was in front of him was a bigger benefit, big enough for him to ignore this little expense.

Under the careful care of Song Yuyan and Bai Can, the garden, named "Sanguoshan Wax Garden", slowly survived the initial difficulties, and the cultivation of white wax insects gradually got on the right track.

In the coming year, Song Yuyan is destined to be busier than usual. Apart from taking care of the wax garden, she also does bamboo weaving work. After all, before the wax garden is profitable, she has no income.

Lin Yongming hated iron and said: "What kind of bamboo weaving do you still need? You only need to take out a bamboo carving, and it will cover your previous half month's income."

As a middleman, Lin Yongming, whether Song Yuyan chooses straw weaving, bamboo weaving, or bamboo carving, is actually only good for him and has no disadvantages. Therefore, seeing that Song Yuyan's bamboo carvings are more popular, he naturally persuaded Song Yuyan to spend his mind on bamboo carving. of.

Song Yuyan said: "Uncle Lin, it's not that I don't agree to you, but that I can weave six bamboo weaves a day, which is still a small income, but for bamboo carving, even if I don't do anything all day long, I just It takes a few days to carve to keep it green, and if you make a mistake, it will be a failure and you have to start all over again. It is unrealistic to want to make a profit!"

Lin Yongming wanted to persuade her not to strive for excellence, but he knew her too well, and if she wanted her to shoddy her best, she would never do such a thing.

But if you think about it carefully, it is precisely because Song Yuyan only spends one or two hours a day on bamboo carvings that few of her works have been handed down, so everyone is curious about what kind of bamboo carvings are worthy of being sought after by others.One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, and slowly, Song Yuyan's reputation will become bigger and bigger.

If Song Yuyan's works are spread all over the street, it will become less and less valuable.

After Lin Yongming figured it out, he didn't waste his words anymore, but he thought of a way to make money and make Song Yuyan's handmade products more famous: "I can sell your bamboo weaving at a high price. If you trust Lin Yongming Uncle, feel free to leave this matter to me."

His plan is to ask Song Yuyan to carve some bamboo carvings for him, and then he will sell them. As long as he buys enough bamboo weaving, he can spend a little more money to buy another bamboo carving.

Song Yuyan wondered if this is a common bundled consumption in later generations!Although she can make money, she is not very friendly to fame. Everyone will definitely think that she will do anything to make money.

Lin Yongming understood her concerns, and said, "Let me handle this matter, and I have nothing to do with you on the surface."

Everyone will only think that Lin Yongming, a middleman, is taking the opportunity to make a profit, and will not think that Song Yuyan is marketing.Lin Yongming has "sacrificed" to this point, Song Yuyan has no reason to disagree.

Compared with gaining a good reputation, making the Song family well-off is her top priority.

Seeing that Song Yuyan agreed, Lin Yongming hoarded her bamboo weaving first, and after she had carved a few arms, he sent people to create momentum, saying that he had collected a lot of green bamboo carvings from Lufang. , This is "the same style of Zhizhou, standard for literati". When I go to participate in the gathering, I don't have a bamboo carving that can be sold, and I am the one who is ashamed.

The wealthy second generations who originally wanted to buy bamboo carvings from Song Yuyan, naturally turned their attention to Lin Yongming.After listening to Lin Yongming's rules, they really scolded Lin Yongming: "A profiteer!"

However, their own family's wealth accumulation also started from doing business, and if they scolded them in public, wouldn't it mean they scolded their own family too!So they can only curse in their hearts.

However, the bundled consumption model of "buy [-] Wen of bamboo weaving also made by Lufang, you can spend [-] Wen to get another green bamboo carving" is really hard for these rich second generations, in their eyes Here, it is equivalent to spending five hundred Wen to buy a Lufang green bamboo carving, five hundred Wen, not expensive at all, okay!

As for those bamboo weavings that are several times more expensive than ordinary ones, they keep them for their own use. Bamboo baskets and the like can be taken back and distributed to the tenant farmers at home, which can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.

As soon as the news about Lin Yongming was released, Zhao Yu, who ran to find Lin Yongming, was the first to get the arm rest. Although he didn't have much appreciation level, but as Lin Yongming said, this is "the same style as Zhizhou, standard for literati". , he took it back to the county school, and he would definitely be able to show off.

However, he hadn't been complacent for too long, when he suddenly discovered that his arm rest, viewed alone, was a painting, but if viewed together with other arm rests, it was another more complete painting, that is to say , these arm rests are a set.

Although the armrest in his hand is already an independent work, he has a sense of unease that he has not fully owned the painting.Seeing that there were still people who wanted to buy armrests, he was worried that he would not be able to get this set together, so he gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money, finally got together a four-piece set of armrests.

He carefully put the four arms together, and seeing the complete picture on the green, he felt unprecedentedly comfortable, as if the obsessive-compulsive disorder that had plagued him for a long time had finally been cured.

For this reason, he also specially held an elegant gathering, and invited the group of students to enjoy it together.

In fact, he bought this set of armrests at a high price not all for showing off, because the artistic creation of Lufang's Liuqing bamboo carvings is enough to arouse the interest of scholars with appreciation ability to comment and discuss.

Originally, the purpose of Gathering was to learn from each other, so even if it was an armrest, someone could make an article around the armrest and green bamboo carvings.

_____

Lin Yongming didn't care what Zhao Zi did with the bamboo carving after he bought it, he only knew that he had made a lot of money, and of course, he even made a fortune with Song Yuyan.Because of Lin Yongming's operation, the price of Song Yuyan's bamboo weaving was also raised. Even if he sold the bamboo weaving alone, he made a small profit.

Although some people urged Lin Yongming to collect more green bamboo carvings from Lufang, but Lin Yongming deliberately hung them up and said: "Is this easy to collect? It took me a lot of effort to collect these! "

What he regrets is that Song Yuyan said that pen holders and other objects are time-consuming. Judging from the time she can spend on them every day, it takes half a month for a simple composition to produce one at the fastest.

Song Yuyan has been picking up the carving knife for a year and a half, and she has gotten used to the carving tools at the current production level, but for her, carving can only be regarded as a hobby, not a tool for making a living.

Without mentioning the issue of efficiency, she said that in order to prevent the carving knife from becoming blunt, she needs to sharpen the knife frequently, so her fingers often get blisters.If she turned it into a job, her fingers would probably have to suffer a little more.

It's not that Song Yuyan can't bear hardships, but she understands that everything has to be grasped to a certain degree, if she pushes herself too hard on something, she will eventually feel bored one day.So when she taught Tang Ye bamboo carving, she didn't suggest that she take bamboo carving as everything.

Tang Ye's current study progress has progressed from painting to sharpening knives. This does not mean that her painting level has reached Song Yuyan's requirements, but that her homework has become heavier. Not only does she have to learn painting, she also needs to practice sharpening knives.

She didn't have any complaints about this, instead she went back to tell her sister about Song Yuyan's finger blisters:

"Song Dalang's set of files was more than a year ago. After using it for so long, they are all blunt and rusty, and they are re-polished. They are all shorter than before."

The image of Song Yuyan's finger bubbling and bleeding emerged in Tang Zhi's mind, and he felt sorry for him.

She asked her sister: "Why doesn't she buy a new file? Isn't she short of such a little money?"

Tang Ye sighed helplessly, and said, "Where does she have this consciousness."

Tang Zhi choked, never expecting that one day, she would still hear the complaints about Song Yuyan from her sister.However, my younger sister has been with Song Yuyan for a long time, and knowing that person's behavior will affect his temperament.

Thinking that besides herself, there was someone else who knew Song Yuyan so well, she felt a little uncomfortable.However, this person is her younger sister, and her younger sister is learning bamboo carving by Song Yuyan's side, so it is impossible not to get in touch with Song Yu for a longer period of time. It is a bit inexplicable for her to be jealous of her younger sister because of this matter.

In order not to let herself think about it, she learned about Professor Song Yuyan's knowledge of bamboo carving from her sister. After figuring out the knives Song Yuyan usually used, she wandered around the blacksmith's shop when she was free, planning to get some new knives for Song Yuyan.

It's just that she found that the knives were easy to get, but they didn't seem to be much different from the ones Song Yuyan used before. Song Yuyan might still get blisters when using them.

After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly thought that the handle of the hoe she used was usually made of wood, and many sharp tools also used bamboo as the handle, so why can't the file be added with a handle?Song Yuyan's set of knives is covered with cloth, and the effect of cloth is definitely no better than that of bamboo and wood.

She went to the blacksmith, hoping that the blacksmith could make the kind of carving knife she described.

The blacksmith said: "It's too much trouble for you, the price is more expensive."

Tang Zhi hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

But the blacksmith couldn't ask for more money from Tang Zhi in the end, because Aunt Lie happened to pass by and saw that she looked familiar, and said, "Hey, are you... Shan Yao's neighbor, a girl from the Tang family?"

Tang Zhi met Aunt Lie several times, but she was not afraid of Aunt Lie at all, so she greeted her politely.

When Aunt Lie asked her what she was doing here, the blacksmith just took out the set of carved knives for her.Aunt Lie gave Song Yuyan a set, so she could tell at a glance that it was used for carving things, but she didn't seem to remember that the girls of the Tang family also carved these.

Tang Zhi concealed and said: "My younger sister is learning bamboo carving from Song Dalang, so I bought it for her."

Although according to Song Yuyan, Tang Ye will have a year to hold a knife, but it does not prevent her from using her sister as a shield.

Aunt Lie said "Oh" and said, "Then you are quite considerate, knowing that you should ask Blacksmith Wang to wrap the handle of the knife with wood."

Blacksmith Wang who was named: "..."

He had an ominous feeling.

Soon, his premonition came true, because as soon as Aunt Lie appeared, he knew that he was going to be hacked to pieces by Aunt Lie again on the way to bargain.

Tang Zhi got this set of knives at a preferential price, thanked Aunt Lie sincerely, and left happily.

Aunt Lie went back to the shop and told Song Bing about this, Song Bing was a little confused: "Is it worth talking about her sister learning bamboo carving from Yam?"

Aunt Lie gave him a fierce look: "Are you short-hearted? Am I talking about the Tang family's little radish and Yam learning bamboo carving? I'm talking about Tang Zhi's girl and Yam!"

Song Bing was shocked: "What? Yam and the girl from the Tang family?!"

Aunt Lie snorted triumphantly: "Although the girl said that she chose the knife for her younger sister, I could see right away that she was lying! And I heard that the boy Shan Yao was very close to the Tang family. Often go out in an ox cart and come back together."

Song Bing didn't care about being shocked, and hurriedly flattered his wife: "My lady has sharp eyes."

Aunt Lie muttered again: "That girl from the Tang family is really nice, she is kind-hearted, and she can control Yam. It's a pity, Yam is too picky."

Song Bing nodded: "That's not true! Last time Shisan told me that he planned to marry this child, but he thought of Shisan as the kind of bastard who covets the beauty of a little lady. But Shisan He was very angry, and later he gave Shisan a bamboo carving, and Shisan finally calmed down."

Aunt Lie said: "He deserves it! How old are you, and you don't pay attention to what you do, who doesn't think more about asking people about the age of the little lady for no reason? Not to mention that Yam cares about the girl of the Tang family, so naturally she has to think more. "

Song Bing didn't dare to mention Song Zhu again, otherwise he would be scolded by Aunt Lie.Although he also has the mind to worry about Song Yuyan's lifelong affairs, Aunt Lie is right, this kind of thing should be handled properly-asking people's family background, age, etc., either by a woman or by a matchmaker. That's right.

____

And no matter how much Song Bing and Aunt Lie worried about Song Yuyan and Tang Zhi's life-long affairs behind their backs, the two of them lived their lives step by step.

Tang Zhi kept that set of carving knives away for a few days before he finally found a good excuse to send it to Song Yuyan.

The door of the Song family was open, and she saw Song Yuyan concentrating on sharpening the carving knife under the scorching sun outside the door, sweat dripping down her forehead, although the life of the Song family was much better than a year ago, but she There was still not much flesh on his face.

Tang Zhi's heart throbbed for a while, and he couldn't help but look away.

It's just that when her eyes fell on the knife in Song Yuyan's hand, she froze for a moment.

"Little lady?" Song Yuyan noticed her existence and called out.

Tang Zhi asked: "Your set of carving knives looks very new, did you just get it?"

Song Yuyan smiled and said: "Mr. Lou Erlang gave it to me. He said that my old knives were too blunt and affected my performance, so he gave me a new set with several more carving knives..."

After she introduced this new set of carving knives, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Little lady is here today, is there anything you want?"

Tang Zhi hid the cloth bag with the carving knife behind her back, she smiled slightly: "It's nothing."
