Two days later, Jiang Chunshi packed up and set out for Qiu Ji, the county seat.

There isn't much stuff, I only packed one baggage.

A mattress, a thin quilt, two pieces of clothes for a change of clothes, and some other things that are used every day. I am planning to buy them there. I will buy a thick quilt for the cold weather, some clothes, etc., I am also planning to wait for them.

After Qiu Ji settles down, it's not too late to ask his family to deliver it or come back to pick it up.

In short, when you just go to work, you can't be too wordy or too intolerant of hardship.

Jiang Youfu's family sent Jiang Chunshi out of the village and watched him get on the carriage to the county seat.

Jiang Chunshi wandered all the way to the county seat, made some inquiries, and found Qiu Ji.

Qiuji's chief shopkeeper, whose surname was Ge, had received instructions from Zheng earlier. When he saw Jiang Chunshi arriving, he took him to the place where he would settle down and arranged for his master to be taken care of.

Now that Jiang Chunshi was alone, his residence was temporarily placed in Qiu Ji's backyard, and the master arranged for Jiang Chunshi was named Chang Yong'an.

Chang Yongan is in his forties and has worked in Qiuji for more than ten years. He has rich experience and excellent craftsmanship. More importantly, he is gentle and patient, and he is willing to spare no effort to guide his apprentices.

"I'm sorry for the shopkeeper's troublesome arrangement." Jiang Chunshi thanked him repeatedly.

Shopkeeper Ge saw that Jiang Chunshi was also polite and not trusting, so he just laughed and said, "You will be Qiu Ji's clerk from now on. I am Qiu Ji's chief shopkeeper. Isn't it right for the chief shopkeeper to care about his assistant?"

"However, in Qiu Ji, although there are few rules and people's minds are not that complex, there is one thing that requires the ability to do things and the right mind."

This is obviously a reminder and a reminder.

Jiang Chunshi understood and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I will do my job well."

Shopkeeper Ge said nothing, only patted Jiang Chunshi on the shoulder, told Chang Yongan to take good care of him, and then went to the front to get busy.

"From now on, you will work with me." Chang Yongan said with a smile.

"Yes, I have to ask Master to take care of me and give me advice in the future." Jiang Chunshi poured a cup of tea, knelt in front of Chang Yong'an, bowed to him upright, and raised the tea above his head, "Please

Master drinks tea."

This kind of behavior is obviously a ritual of apprenticeship.

Chang Yongan reached out to help him, "I don't have so many rules here, and you don't have to do this either."

"Master, there are few rules here. This is because I am kind. But as a disciple, I respect you from the bottom of my heart. This is the duty of a disciple and must be done."

Jiang Chunshi knelt on the ground and remained motionless.

Seeing that his new apprentice knew the rules, Chang Yongan smiled a little brighter and said, "He is a good boy, so I accept your apprenticeship ceremony."

After saying that, he reached out to take the tea, took a sip, and said, "Get up quickly."

"Hey." Jiang Chunshi stood up, a little embarrassed, "I'm a bit stupid, but I have the strength and I'm not afraid of hardship. Master can give me any work."

"I really have a job for you." Chang Yong'an said, "Mr. Qian is going to make a complete set of furniture for his home. He doesn't care about money, but he is very picky about the wood and texture. New wood will arrive at the shop in the middle of the night.

Inside, you follow me and do some moving and lifting work."

Being a carpenter, in addition to the craftsmanship, understanding wood, choosing what wood to make furniture, and how much material to use for what size furniture are all skills.

Chang Yongan wanted to teach him from the basics, which shows that he is very attentive.

Jiang Chunshi felt that he had met a good master and nodded excitedly, "Yeah!"

"It's still early now. Let's go have lunch quickly, and then go out to buy some daily necessities. When we get busy, we won't have this free time." Chang Yong'an said.

"Okay." Jiang Chunshi responded, "Master, please do your work first. I'll go and come back."

"Go, go." Chang Yongan looked at Jiang Chunshi out of the backyard with a kind face.

The shop is in charge of food, and there are dedicated people cooking three meals a day.

And because the workers often cannot eat on time because they are rushing to work, in order to keep the workers from going hungry while working, they can go there at any time and have food at any time.

Jiang Chunshi took the waiter cards distributed from shopkeeper Ge and went to the canteen to get his meal.

White flour steamed buns, large pot dishes, meaty ones, large quantities are sufficient.

After having a full meal, he tidied up a little and roughly calculated what he needed to buy. Jiang Chunshi left Qiuji from the backyard and went to the street to buy some face towels, green salt for brushing teeth and other things for his own use.

.

There were many shops nearby, and it was easy to buy what he needed. In just one cup of tea, Jiang Chunshi took his things and walked to Qiu Ji.

When passing by the main entrance of Qiuji, Jiang Chunshi saw a familiar person, Niu Er.

Jiang Chunshi learned carpentry from the carpenter master in the town.

Niu Er was muttering something to one of Qiu Ji's clerks there, probably because what the other person said was not what he wanted. He had a straight face at this moment, and finally rolled up his sleeves and left Qiu Ji's door.

On the other hand, he was even cursing, "The store is a bully and looks down on people. I can't afford the things Qiu Ji made. It's like guarding against thieves..."

As he was talking, he looked up and saw Jiang Chunshi not far away. He was startled for a moment, then he chuckled, "What a coincidence."

By chance, he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger, and some people just happened to come right in front of him.

"It's quite a coincidence." Jiang Chunshi responded lightly.

Ever since the last time he had a falling out with this unworthy master over learning the carpentry trade, Jiang Chunshi really didn't like Niu Er and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

When Niu Er saw this, he just thought that Jiang Chunshi had lost his job after making a fuss. He felt embarrassed and couldn't raise his head, so he wanted to run away, so he stopped him, "I saw you selling benches on the West Street of the town market earlier. What, this

You can't find a good job after you leave here, so you can only make some things like this and sell them for money to make ends meet?"

"I don't know what to say about you. You are not very clever, and your hands are very clumsy. If you want to be an apprentice outside, no one will want you. I kindly accepted you as an apprentice.

If you learn some crafts and have some prospects in the future, it would be better if you dislike me for not teaching me and dislike the many jobs I assign you, so you have to give up and quit."

"Now you know, it's so easy to find a way to make a living. I don't even have any skills. From now on, I will only be able to drink from the northwest wind."

After talking ramblingly, Niu Er saw Jiang Chunshi carrying something in his hand and sneered, "What are you doing with these things? I can't do the carpentry anymore, so I have to start running errands?"

"I'll go to Qiu Ji." Jiang Chunshi replied.
