The peaceful life brought about by the separation of production and family has given Ji Mo a period of quiet study time. When his professional knowledge points reach the peak of "90", it is not theoretical knowledge that can make him improve his skills. It is about continuous practice, using one piece of work to verify the knowledge you have learned.

In this regard, Ji Mo has been working on it for a long time. From the pearl-colored hairpin ring made of shell powder to the glass-colored inlay, all the ideas in his mind have been turned into reality under his hands. This feeling is very beautiful, as if you can do whatever you think of, it is rare to have a bit of freedom.

In Ji's Jewelry Shop, since the jewelry box model, there are many more models of hairpins and rings. Most of these models are wood carvings, which are almost the same as the real ones. Just looking at the shape, they can almost be confused with the real ones, but they are really in your hands. , I realized that the weight was wrong, and it might not be the real thing.

The restorer's method accidentally used seems to facilitate the fake model. There are girls who can't afford the real product, and they will ask to buy this kind of model wooden hairpin. As long as she doesn't say it, it will be as real as it is, enough to satisfy Some people's vanity is gone.

Most importantly, such a wooden hairpin is light!

Although gold, silver and jade are expensive and beautiful, their weight really causes headaches for many people. After wearing them all day long, and putting them down at night, they feel their heads are light, and they don’t know how to walk. up.

The wooden one doesn't have this problem, it's just as beautiful and exquisite, and I don't feel much burden when I wear it all day, and the price is cheaper, even cheaper than the real one.

Based on Ji Mo's original intention, he wanted to make the model not for sale, but Brother Ji found that everyone has a tendency to like models, so he went to the market immediately, saying that this one can also be sold. In his opinion, making wooden ones is much cheaper than making real ones. I don't want to think that the gold powder and silver powder as the color also have their own value.

The first order was hot-headed. When someone said he wanted to buy it, he sold it at a price that was higher than the wooden hairpin. It is the real thing, and even when the time spent on the model is not necessarily shorter than the real thing, he knows that he has lost a lot of money.

After beating his chest for a while, when someone wanted to buy the second order, he raised the price of the model even higher than the real one. The fake ones are more expensive than the real ones. What's the reason? !

That person is not easy to provoke, almost dragged him to the government to make a judgment, saying that he was doing business and blackmailing people.

No way, I thought I was unlucky, and sold it at a price that was cheaper than the real thing.

This kind of thing that has never appeared before is really difficult to price. Later, Brother Ji asked Ji Mo carefully about the length of production time and the cost required, and then set a more scientific price, depending on the quality of the work. Depending on the size and complexity, some are half the price of the real thing, and some are similar to the real thing.

In order to distinguish it from the real ones, Brother Ji called this kind of wooden products "imitation wooden hairpins". Ji Mo was taken aback when he heard that, it really is "imitation"!

Isn't it just imitating the real thing?

Originally, it was made as a model for display, but since there is such a saying, it is also sold as a commodity, so it must be distinguished from the real product.

Otherwise, how embarrassing are those who bought the real thing?

Brother Ji pays more attention to this than Ji Mo, and reminded him earlier, and Ji Mo also agreed, so this "imitation" talk seems not so real anymore.

Five years later.

There were more children laughing in the courtyard of Ji's house, Ji Ji and Ji Ji, who used to be incompatible, could sit and talk about the difficulty of raising children.

When the shrewd second sister-in-law took care of her own children, she would also take care of the children of the elder sister-in-law's family, and the training was even more equal, and no one was missed.

Amidst the uproar, Ji Mo bid farewell to his parents.

This was not sudden, it was agreed a long time ago, Ji's Jewelry Shop has invited new craftsmen to use the popular techniques from central Beijing, which made Ji's father envious.

He had grown up in the Banking Bureau, and he missed it almost as if he missed his hometown.

Seeing the tricks at that time, I felt nostalgia for the bank office again, and I muttered, "It's been so many years, I don't know what's going on there?"

He kept repeating these words a lot, how could Mother Ji not know what was on his mind, the shop happened to be busy, so I asked Ji Mo to have a look, if he could be selected, it would be a good thing to return to the bank office .

Time has passed, and so many years have passed, I am afraid no one will remember what happened to Brother Ji back then.

Thinking together, Ji's mother also somewhat missed the carefree time there. If she can go back when she gets old, it can be regarded as returning to her roots.

In fact, Ji Mo had thought of this for a long time, but his parents were here, and he was not going to travel far. He didn't expect Ji's father to propose such a proposal, and there was no way he would not agree.

As long as he left, he would inevitably be given all kinds of instructions. Those complicated personnel matters are now the same as in his previous life, and Father Ji doesn't even remember them clearly.

Brother Ji was listening to him telling Ji Mo, and interjected: "If there is anything to worry about, you just go, it will not change for many years, one by one, just like a fool, you just know how to bury your head in making things, the slightest Good things don’t come your way.”

The jewelry and utensils made by the Silver Works Bureau are specially provided for the royal family, and the emperor has the final say on how to distribute them. Therefore, the Silver Works Bureau is a big bureau in the inner court. Those assigned by the inner court, if they are promoted, will be promoted by the managers at the upper level. They follow the path of the inner eunuch, and they are separated from the artisans who have passed on their families.

That is to say, the son of a craftsman, if he is successful in his life, he is still a craftsman, and he is still spinning around on this level, and he can't get out of that frame.

Just like the flowers growing in the garden, no matter how beautiful or bright you are, they will still bloom when they should, and there is no room for disobedience.

In the early years, they were ignorant, like sheep kept in a pen. When they were driven out, they would bleat and protest, fearing that they would be abandoned and have no way out.

But now, seeing the vastness outside and knowing the rules of survival, Brother Ji is glad that his small mistake made the whole family come out.

Not to mention anything else, if the younger generation is promising, it may be necessary to change the lintel and train a scholar to come out, no longer in the old framework.

He disdains such remembrance of Father Ji.

"If you really go in, don't mention us, I won't follow in."

Brother Ji reminded me one more time, obviously he was very unwilling to go there again.

"Even if you go in, people have to ask for it!"

Father Ji glared at him, but he didn't know the direction, as if he was staring at Second Brother Ji who was sitting there with him. Second Brother Ji moved his body, not wanting to move at all.

"It's true that people accept everyone, and even if the third child enters, the counting will start from the third child's head in the future. You are not eligible to enter."

Ji's mother agrees with Ji's father, and she can be regarded as the child of a craftsman who grew up there. She misses there, but she can't tolerate these little things.

Ji Mo had no choice but to "go in" one by one, as if he was going to become a eunuch, it's not that exaggerated.

After a few words of quarreling, it was time to eat. After the meal, Second Brother Ji sent Ji Mo to walk for a while, and then he had to leave by himself.

"You haven't traveled far, so be careful."

On the way, Second Brother Ji kept telling him that he was kind, and he was a little tit-for-tat towards Brother Ji, but he was much more tolerant towards Ji Mo, mainly because Ji Mo was also tolerant.

The property of the family was clearly divided in the early years, and it was indeed implemented according to that for a while. Every time Ji Mo ate with his family, he paid for the food, but that was all for a while. , If there are more children, the expenses will be high, and there will always be times when it is not enough, and Ji Mo will use his share of money to make up for it. He said it is to subsidize the children, but in fact he is also making up for family affection.

Second Brother Ji knows Big Brother Ji best. The quarrel between him and Ji Mo has long since passed. He was awkward and didn’t apologize, but he didn’t skimp on materials. Give Ji Mo what he wants, see It seems that he didn't give up money, but he actually showed his thoughts.

The whole family, when they bite their teeth or bite their tongues, really want to stay away from each other because of this, obviously it can't be done, and it will get better gradually.

The main reason is that Ji Mo is tolerant, hurting himself and fattening others, so just don't care about them.

Brother Ji also understands that he can only say that he is lucky to have such a younger brother, otherwise they would really not be able to get along with each other.

When it was almost time to part, Brother Ji kept telling him some tips for traveling in the rivers and lakes, how to hide money, how to stay, how to choose a companion... These are all from experience, even if it is not the first time for Ji Mo to leave home by himself, he still takes it seriously. After listening to it, it is really supplementary to corroborate what I found out.

"Don't care what dad said, I want you to come back, I'll show you your income, I promise not to let the elder brother get greedy, you go to see the fun and come back, at least you have to send a letter back, don't worry about it .”

The second brother Ji said at the end, when it came to "revenue", he was obviously hesitant. The money in his family is managed by the second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law is not a bad person, but she is too shrewd. A little storage fee.

"I see, second brother don't worry."

Thinking of the second sister-in-law's temperament, Ji Mo couldn't help but laugh, no matter what, she is really kind to Ji Erge.

That's fine, and he doesn't need to worry about his family. He needs to see the demeanor of those great craftsmen when he goes there. He always heard Ji Fu say that he is a good person. Now he also wants to see how good the skills are there. .

It would be even better if he could work in the bank, not for anything else, those skilled craftsmen, the best batch in the country, are all concentrated there, and this alone makes Ji Mo yearn for it.
