technical type

This gossip didn’t go far, and I quickly returned to the process of papermaking. Ji Mo taught the craft before, and even taught this unusual papermaking method. After hearing a few minutes, the short man nearby was the most attentive.

Oh, the short one is called Brother Wang, that’s what another Liu Zi called him. The two have a close relationship with He Er. Ji Mo can roughly tell that this Liu Zi is familiar with He Er, and so is that brother Wang. The one who is familiar, but He Er, who is only familiar with Liu Zi, now automatically marginalizes himself, looks like a key to the door, which can be thrown away after opening the door.

Brother Wang didn't care too much about this aspect, so he told the sixth son to let him study hard, and he walked a little farther in the second half. He also took off his mask and breathed fresh air.

When He Er saw this, he felt that the other party was getting closer, so he told him the story of the bamboo forest. That story was a rare gossip in a small place like Huicheng. Back then, it was no worse than a businessman killing his wife. The news popularity is low.

Ji Mo was concentrating on explaining to the six sons, he didn't pay attention to those things, and when he finished his work, He Er came over and heard He Er said unsatisfactorily: "...It's really good to be rich, it's a waste of money like this."

It's hard to say how big a project it is to transplant a piece of bamboo, but the house, once rich and noble, has all turned into clouds and dust, which is really a waste.

Ji Mo also agrees with this point of view. Many buildings in ancient times cost manpower and material resources. If they can be fully used, it will save the waste of resources in the middle of construction, demolition, and construction. But there are some things that cannot be said, such as here The house must have been good back then, even if something bad happened to those people and they couldn't live anymore, others could always live in it, but others felt that the road was far away or something unlucky, so they would rather demolish the bricks and tiles here Take them home and use them at home, and don't want to live in a decent house.

Shengsheng turned a good house into ruins, and now it is dilapidated, but his own home has not been straightened up because of those bricks and tiles. Isn't it a sad waste?

If it is said that the ancients were ignorant here, they put themselves in the place, and really understand that this leisurely courtyard for the rich and the rich to enjoy the scenery is really not suitable for long-term living. Completely non-existent cost.

"If you have money, you would rather bury it in the ground than make it easier for others."

What Brother Wang said, the idea of ​​keeping money is really not a patent.

"It's true, but that's not the reason!" He Er probably had a speculative conversation with someone just now, but now he is so excited that he can fly half a meter away when he spits.

Ji Mo hadn't taken off his mask yet, and when he heard the two say that those rich people are stingy, their words were full of cynicism, so he couldn't help but say fairly: "Now you are poor, that's how you say it, if you are rich, I'm afraid He is also reluctant to distribute his hard-earned money to other poor people."

Charity in ancient times was probably such things as donating porridge and donating incense. It is not hard to guard against those who dare to show their love casually and be targeted by others.

He Er was sluggish, but his associative power was rich. Thinking that his family was rich, he really felt distressed when he saw a coin, and his energy was vented, so it was hard to talk about others.

Brother Wang asked back: "That's all like this. Is there any way for us poor people to survive?"

These words are more than cynical, and seem to have some revolutionary meaning.

Ji Mo glanced at him in surprise, and for no reason, how could he empathize with him so much, maybe something happened at home.

Thinking this way, he didn't want to talk nonsense, and said vaguely: "There is always a way to survive. Most rich people, counting up to three generations, may not be rich. They always start from the poor. If you follow suit, maybe you can become a rich man?"

This bowl of chicken soup is still a bit solid, Brother Wang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and the rest of the topic followed.

He Er's mind turned to the businessman. The rich man he knew was the businessman next door who ran away, and he was also the kind who really succeeded in struggling from the poor. There is a practical example in front of him, and he should learn from it.

"This merchant also needs a network. What should I do if I can't sell something after getting something for nothing? I have no capital..."

Listening to what He Er was talking about, the three went into the city together, and Brother Wang and the six sons left after entering the city. There seemed to be other things. Ji Mo invited He Er to have a meal, which was not expensive. It is the dishes in the small restaurant, ordinary but sufficient, enough for two big men to eat.

After eating, he wiped his mouth, and He Er left, and Ji Mo also walked back. He agreed that the reward for He Er would be paid for by his handicrafts, and this meal was not saved. In the days to come, if there is no business for the time being , I really need to plan well and save a little.

Ji Mo usually spends money not to mention how extravagant he is, at least there are few people who are stingy in eating. When he thinks of saving money, he must not eat whatever he wants. The quality of food in the future is a bit worrying. Thinking of the ordinary Wotou noodles Cake, I feel that there is no taste in my mouth.

After all, he didn’t grow up in a real ancient environment. In Ji Mo’s opinion, these unavoidable hardships are much more difficult than learning skills. Fortunately, they are not insurmountable. what can i do

"Hey, sometime, it would be great if I were from a wealthy family. I will definitely concentrate on learning skills, and I won't have to worry about three meals a day."

Don't daily chores involve energy?

It's really difficult to improve your skills while hungry. Of course, Ji Mo's situation is not that difficult, but he still feels a little distressed when he thinks that he won't be able to eat anything good.

"It's a pity, it is destined to be unrealistic to make a fortune by relying on paper dolls."

When he first learned how to make paper, Uncle Li was so capable. His own paper making skills are not counted, and he can build a family business again with empty hands. The yard houses a shop, even though the shop is just a sign hanging in front of the yard. But it's not easy, and the other party's self-made is not once or twice, this ability is exactly what Ji Mo lacks.

Even if it was the same skill, he had the promotion of the great monk in the later stage, and he took a few good jobs, but it was just paying Yang Feng and the others more money. This is also because Yang Feng worked hard for him. The house does not require land money, and the other party has put in a lot of hard work. Ji Mo really wouldn't have the cheek to say that it was all due to him, so it counts...

"Except for studying, everything else seems to be average."

This is a somewhat depressing self-knowledge.

After noon, Ji Mo went back and looked at the neighbor's aunt first, and made sure that the other party had eaten, so he went back to his room to take a nap. Ordinary paper dolls, the price is also low, barely make ends meet.

One day, passing by the street of the coffin shop, I found that someone was cleaning it up there. After inquiring about it, I found out that the nephew of the shopkeeper of the coffin shop had come and took over the place. Not only that, he also gave a few helpers The funeral director gave a gift to thank him.

When Ji Mo returned home, he also received this gift, and it was the six acquaintances who came to give the gift.

"why you?"

Ji Mo was a little surprised.

They are also common these days. In the paper-making stall outside, it is impossible to only talk about that one time. Ji Mo went out of the city these few times, and the six sons were with him. Brother Wang was here occasionally, and so was He Er. Occasionally follow him for a trip, it is better for the six sons to be there every time, and gradually get to know each other.

"Haha, I'll be a coffin shop guy from now on! A serious job!"

The six sons were very happy, and they were invited into the room, put the paper package of four-color pastry on the table, looked it over, and said: "Would you like to come too? Brother Wang is the new shopkeeper, and we are also acquaintances. To lie to you. I came this time, but I came here specifically to ask you for Brother Wang."

"Brother Wang is the new shopkeeper?" Ji Mo was stunned for a moment. It was strange to see the six sons change their identities at first, but it was even more strange when they heard this again. Just like preparing for this, although he didn't teach many times, there was always a feeling that he had been cheated.

"Yeah, otherwise, why did Brother Wang come here because of something wrong with his uncle." The six sons said it directly, as if they had no heart in the city.

In the words, he briefly talked about Brother Wang's background, and also mentioned the shrewdness of the other party, saying that he felt that there might be some problems with the fire, so he didn't take over rashly, but inquired in private...

According to what he said, Ji Mo felt that he might have treated himself as a suspect in the previous contact, until he found out that he really taught crafts without hiding his secrets, and had no intention of taking over the coffin shop, so he let go of his doubts and was generous. Fang took over?

That said, it can be said.

Although it is somewhat uncomfortable to be secretly suspected, it is human nature to put it on someone, and it cannot be said that it is wrong to be so cautious.

"I can make a paper man. If it is used in the shop, just come and get it. Consignment is also available. I can't do it as a clerk to greet customers. I still have to rely on my craftsmanship to make a living." Ji Mo gave a living words, He had already taught some things in the past. Although he didn't know if the other party had any background, it was not impossible to completely abandon him and start a new life. Now such an invitation is considered a good intention.

At the beginning of job hunting, Ji Mo also tended to provide goods for the coffin shop, but unfortunately at that time, he was empty-handed, and the other party didn't believe him, so he kicked him out.

The six sons often walked on the street, so they understood when they heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will tell Brother Wang when I get back. I just said that you can do it here, and you don't need to do anything else." Yes, Brother Wang said, you do a good job of making paper figurines, just keep making this kind of paper figurines. When the paper is finished, it’s good to make more paper figurines like you mentioned. I’ve been waiting to open my eyes. gone."

"It's easy to do, but I'm afraid it won't sell well. This can't be kept for a long time." Ji Mo was a little worried that the other party didn't know the taboo, so he reminded him.

"Don't worry, Brother Wang definitely has connections." The six sons took care of everything, and they didn't know why they had so much confidence in Brother Wang. When Ji Mo saw this, he couldn't say anything else, lest he seemed to be provoking, and nodded in response. Yes, he was also going to make a paper man.
