Chapter 71

Shen Qing felt the same way, "Mm! At most two people, there shouldn't be too many people, it's better to be quiet."

Hollin asked: "Then where should we go next?"

Shen Qing looked in the direction and pointed, "Go find my cousin!"

The carpentry workshop where Cao Yong works has a face and a workshop.

It's just a family-style workshop, just on the edge of the town. The boss has a yard with sheds built on both sides, and the workers work in the sheds.

When the two found Cao Yong, he was being trained.

"What is this? What are you doing? Why are you so stupid? Pigs are smarter than you. Bai Chang is so big, and all the food is eaten in the dog's belly. Take it back and redo it, and the money will come from your living expenses." Buckle, and don't eat tonight, be hungry!"

The person who was cursing was an old man wearing a vest, that was Cao Yong's master, Shen Qing recognized him, it was the first time hearing him scolding.

I saw this old man talking in a friendly manner before, and always smiling when he saw people, so I thought he had a good temper.

Look at the people who are working, all laughing secretly.

Cao Yong seemed to have gotten used to it, silently picked up the finished folding stool, and when he turned around and saw the two of them, his expression became rich, "You...why are you here?"

It's embarrassing to be seen by my cousin.

Shen Qing said with a faint smile: "Big cousin, I have something to do with you, can we go out and talk."

"This..." Cao Yong was a little embarrassed, he looked at his seniors, but all of them turned their heads away, obviously not wanting to talk to him.

Cao Yong had no choice but to tell the truth, "I'm afraid it won't work today, how about you wait until I get off work?"

Shen Qing looked up at the sky, shook his head and refused, "No, we have to hurry home after we finish talking, how about this!" She whispered to Huo Lin, and then took out half a penny to him.

Huolin ran away with the copper plate.

"What did you ask him to do?" Cao Yong asked.

"You'll know later, it's okay, let's talk over there first." Shen Qing dragged him to a corner of the workshop, took the folding stool in his hand, and put it under his buttocks, "Brother, you squat down, I’m really in trouble.”

Cao Yong thought to himself, not only is there no dinner today, but maybe tomorrow's breakfast too, but he still squatted down, anyway, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"If you have anything to do, tell me!"

"I want to build a wooden barrel. This is a sketch I drew. Take a look, it's difficult." She took out a piece of paper.

Cao Yong took it, his expression was calm at first, and then he looked ugly, "It's a bit like a wine barrel, but the opening on the top is a bit bigger, and there is no bottom underneath, right?"

"good……"

The two of them studied for a long time, Cao Yong finally figured it out, heaved a long sigh of relief, "It's not difficult, I can do it, how many do you plan to do?"

Shen Qing thought for a while, "Let's do two first! Brother, can you do it?" Thinking of being scolded by his teacher and father just now, Shen Qing was a little suspicious of him.

Cao Yong patted her on the head, "Go! Brother, you can do it! Don't look at me like that, but I have to do it here, and you have to pay for the labor and materials according to the market price, or my master will not agree."

"That's natural. You'd better hurry up. It's going to be a holiday. After the holiday, I have to ask for it. You send someone home."

"I understand, I'll just catch up on the work in the next few days."

"Did your master make that?" Shen Qing suddenly saw an almost-finished Eight Immortals table in the shed, and his eyes lit up.

Cao Yong also looked at it, "Yes, an Eight Immortals table and four benches. Master Meng's family in the town wants it."

Shen Qing scratched his chin and began to think.

At this time, Huo Lin came back carrying a big bamboo basket, panting from exhaustion. "Sister, I've bought it. There are a hundred buns in total."

Shen Qing stood up with a smile, and said to Cao Yong: "Hurry up and ask them to eat buns."

"Huh? Are all these buns going to be given away?" Cao Yong was so shocked that his jaw dropped. This was too generous.

Shen Qing slapped him on the back, "If you want to achieve great things, don't stick to trivial matters, so go ahead!"

Cao Yong distressedly greeted his fellow apprentices to eat steamed buns, white flour and meat buns that were bigger than a palm, with soft noodles and full of meaty flavor.

Normally, they would not even be willing to buy one, but today was better, each person got two. Everyone thanked Cao Yong, and the younger one asked him about Shen Qing's origins.

For such a beautiful and generous little girl, her family must be a landlord and rich.

Wouldn't it be great if they could fall in love with them and marry them as daughter-in-laws in the future.

Cao Yong ignored them and finished dividing the buns. Huo Lin conjured up an oil paper bun from nowhere and added a bottle of wine.

"What is this for?"

"Honor your master!" Shen Qing took the things and dragged him to the back room, just now he saw his master go in.

"is this necessary?"

"Didn't uncle ask you to bring something to your master every now and then?"

"Father said it, but my mother said it was unnecessary. Back then, I gave two taels of silver to apprentice to my teacher, and I usually helped the master with work, which paid off for the meal. This skill was not in vain."

Shen Qing was very speechless towards him, thought that he knew about human affairs, but now it seems that he was influenced by his aunt, he is simply a fool.

The master of this workshop is surnamed Ma, and the workshop is called Ma's Carpentry Workshop.

When they entered, Master Na was sitting at an old wooden table with one foot on the stool while drinking wine. There was a plate of fried peanuts and only one dish on the table.

Seeing them coming in, Master Ma only glanced at them, and continued drinking without making a sound.

Shen Qing hurriedly put the oiled paper bag on the table and opened it, "Master Ma, this is the roast chicken bought from the restaurant in front, I'll serve you some wine, and these..." She took out two oiled paper bags from her bag, It was the snacks she brought with her. She planned to fill her stomach when she was hungry, but now she gave them away.

A package of braised dried bamboo shoots and a package of charcoal grilled rabbit.

Add another jug ​​of wine and the table is full.

Smelling the smell of meat and wine, Master Ma's face could no longer be serious.

"Are you Cao Yong's sister?"

"It's my cousin, I came to see him for something, and I thought he was here with you, so I asked you to take the trouble to teach me, so I sent someone to buy some wine and vegetables. When my uncle comes to town next time, I must treat you to a meal. "

Cao Yong wanted to curl his lips. It was normal for the master to beat and scold him. When it came to teaching, he didn't say a few words. He just let him see and think for himself. Whether he could learn something or not was all up to him.

"You are a good talker, better than your brother. Tell me what you have to do with him." Master Ma pinched a piece of dried bamboo shoots and ate it.

Shen Qing immediately presented the drawings and flattered him. The pictures were very good. At the end, Master Ma said that he had some good materials that were heat-resistant and fire-resistant, so they were perfect for making baking barrels. but.

As for the price, she will give it as she sees it, and let Cao Yong try to practice it.

Cao Yong was stunned as he watched, he didn't understand how the always stern master could be so coaxed by Shen Qing that he didn't show any airs.

Coming out of the workshop, Cao Yong said dissatisfiedly: "Cousin, why are you flattering my master so much, following... following..." He wanted to say that Shen Qing's flattering attitude was like pretending to be a grandson.
