Chapter 515: The Process of Becoming a Disciple!

Shi Mingsheng admired and respected Luo Shuning even more after hearing what he said.

Teach students in accordance with their aptitude, this is what a good teacher should be like.

"Tuition..." Shi Mingsheng thought that if Luo Shuning was willing to accept an apprentice, the tuition must be very expensive.

Otherwise, it would be unfair to his superb martial arts.

However, no matter how expensive the tuition is, it is not a problem for Shi Mingsheng.

Ten years ago, Shi Mingsheng's net worth exceeded 1 billion, and now he is a real billionaire, a member of the Beijing Billionaire Club.

Money is just a long string of numbers to him.

When he buys things or consumes something, he never considers the price, but only considers his inner feelings.

Spending a little money can make him very happy, so why not?

"Tuition?" Luo Shuning heard this relatively unfamiliar word for the first time.

Whether it is teaching Du Enya to make clay figurines, asking Zheng Qi to paint, or teaching Zhao Rui Wing Chun.

Luo Shu Ning never mentioned charging tuition fees, and he never thought about it.

"No tuition fees, I'm not a professional teacher, you are willing to learn from me, I will just try to teach."

"First of all, I don't have any standard teaching process, I always teach as I please, whatever I think of, without any rules."

"Secondly, I can't guarantee to what extent you can learn, whether you can learn, whether you can get started, these are still unknown."

"If you have a more suitable teacher, you can always go from me, I will never stop you."

"As for tuition fees, these are waived, no need."

Luo Shu Ning explained the situation to Shi Mingsheng in detail, and reiterated that learning from him does not require tuition fees.

But then again, if Luo Shu Ning really charges for apprenticeship, it may be a way to make a fortune.

All kinds of skills extracted from the [Super Scenic Area System] are "system-level".

"System-level" skills, such as clay figurines, Wing Chun, and other skills can all open the "master's halo".

Under the influence of the "master's halo", the students' comprehension doubles, and even the dumbest students can be enlightened by him.

However, although Luo Xuning is still a little far away from the billionaires like Shi Mingsheng, he will not earn this money.

To put it another way, it is worth using this money to exchange for a good reputation.

"Master Luo is indeed upright and has the style of a master."

After listening to Luo Xuning's words, Shi Mingsheng respected him even more in his heart!

These days, anyone who knows a few tricks dares to call himself the master of a certain sect or martial arts, and dares to establish a sect and recruit disciples.

On the one hand, it is to promote one's own sect or martial arts, and on the other hand, it is to make money, and it is the most important aspect.

Nowadays, who can't get along with money? No one thinks that they have too much money, and they all want to earn more.

It's really rare to find someone like Luo Shuning who doesn't want money from others!

"No! I should call you Master now!"

Shi Mingsheng just got his wish and became Luo Shuning's disciple, and he hasn't adapted to this new identity for a while.

"Master, where are you now? I think it's necessary for us to meet and talk face to face, what do you think?

It's not good to say that I'm a disciple over the phone..."

"..." Luo Shuning thought about it.

Although many links have been saved in modern society, there is no precedent for becoming a disciple over the phone, which is too frivolous.

Learning skills from a master is an extremely important part of our traditional culture, and it is also a necessary link for many excellent skills to be passed on.

In ancient folk, craftsmen or masters from all walks of life had strict requirements and constraints on the inheritance of their skills.

Even the same category of skills has different schools.

Each school has its own special rules and unique culture.

Whether it is traditional martial arts, butchering, Chinese medicine, or carpentry, blacksmithing, masonry, bamboo craftsman, gold and stone craftsman, calligraphy and painting, etc., they must go through the process of apprenticeship in the inheritance of skills.

The traditional apprenticeship etiquette process is divided into three major stages.

They are preliminary investigation, preparation for apprenticeship and apprenticeship ceremony.

These three stages are indispensable. Without any of them, the process of apprenticeship is incomplete.

Before the ancient craftsmen and apprentices officially became master-apprentice relationships, there would be a mutual investigation stage.

The apprentices would be introduced by others to choose their favorite industries, schools and masters.

Masters generally accept anonymous apprentices and conduct many inspections such as qualifications, abilities and character.

At the same time, the apprentice will also examine whether his master has real skills during the probation period, and seriously consider whether he really likes this craft and wants to work in an industry related to this craft in the future.

If both parties are satisfied with each other during the probation period, they will enter the next step of apprenticeship.

Before holding the formal apprenticeship ceremony, the masters will notify all the staff of the sect and the industry seniors to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony.

The better the apprentice's qualifications and the higher his status, the more people will come to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony.

After all the fellow disciples and distinguished guests arrive at the apprenticeship ceremony, and under the joint witness of everyone, the master and apprentice can start the apprenticeship ceremony.

It sounds easy to say that it is easy to learn skills from a teacher, but when you actually do it, you will realize that it is really not easy.

During the apprenticeship ceremony, first of all, the incense table should be prepared, lights and colors should be decorated, and logistical support related to accepting apprentices and apprenticeships should be done well.

After everything is ready, Master takes a seat on the left side of the main hall. If there is a Master, the Master will take a seat on the right.

Seniors and colleagues in the industry sit in front on the left, seniors and peers in the same discipline sit on the right, and brothers and sisters stand on both sides at the bottom.

The first step in the apprenticeship ceremony is to introduce the sect to which one belongs.

The master of ceremonies introduces the sect, the master and the inheritance of the sect, as well as the personal information of the new disciple.

Then, the master and his apprentice burned incense together to worship the ancestor.

The master offered incense and table to the ancestor, performed the grand ceremony of kneeling three times and prostrating nine times, and reported that the sect has recruited disciples and successors.

After the kneeling is over and the master sits down, the new disciple will bow to the master with a bow on his head, kneel three times and kowtow nine times, and hold the bow with both hands, expressing his willingness to join the master's school and accept the teachings of the master and the master.

At the same time, new disciples must present a "covered bowl of tea" to their master, called "Chankou Tea", and then they can change their name to Master.

When the master accepts the disciple's apprenticeship tea, it means that he officially recognizes the master-disciple relationship.

If there is a teacher's wife, you should also offer tea to the teacher's wife to change your mind.

If not, it would save some energy and kowtow less.

New disciples have to offer the "Six Rites of Practice" to their master on their first day.

The "six rites of repair" include: celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan and dried bacon.

After the master receives the gift, he will also give the apprentice a corresponding gift in return as a souvenir.

After the newcomer's apprenticeship ceremony is over, the master will read out the rules of the sect to all participants and bestow names on the new disciples.

After the naming is completed, the sect's genealogy is still recorded, and the person is encouraged to be a down-to-earth person, study diligently, and bring glory to the sect.

At the same time, representatives of prospective disciples and new disciples made speeches respectively.

After a series of apprenticeship procedures, the master and apprentice took another group photo and took their own group photo to the banquet together.

After the apprenticeship ceremony is over, the two parties become a formal master-disciple relationship, and the apprentice becomes a member of the master's family.

Normally, they would live and eat at Master's house for a long time.

I help Master's family with work, and on major holidays, I also give gifts to Master, just like the long-term workers in ancient times.

"..." If nothing happened, Luo Yanning would definitely refuse without hesitation, but this time...

"Just think it's for the business of Qiming Printing Factory!"

After Luo Yanning secretly thought about it for a while, she nodded and said:

"That's okay. I'm at the Baodi Hotel with some relatives and friends right now. If you want to come over, we'll wait for you here."

Shi Mingsheng asked: "You and a few relatives and friends? Is it convenient for me to go there?"

Luo Yanning nodded and said, "It's convenient. We're all on our own. There's nothing inconvenient. If you find it inconvenient, you can change the date to another date."

Shi Mingsheng said: "Well, since you have said it, master, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Today is the day! I will ask the driver to take me there! Several of your relatives and friends can also be witnesses."

Luo Yanning said: "Well, we'll wait for you here. Just call me when you come over, or just come to the lobby to find me."

"Okay master, then I will start heading towards you."

"Okay, we'll wait for you."

"Okay master, let's do this first."

The phone call lasted nearly ten minutes before it ended.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Yanning raised his eyes and looked at everyone.

Wu Mingshi, Gao Jun, Gao Jiangbo, Chen Gang, one by one, all had expressions of admiration on their faces.

"Brother Luo, you will be my brother from now on, I am convinced! I am really convinced!"

"You're so awesome that you took such a big boss as your apprentice with just one phone call! I always admire you!"

"You will be my only idol from now on!"

Wu Mingshi expressed several words of praise and gave Luo Yanning a thumbs up.

"Cousin, do you know how to... Tai Chi?"

Gao Jiangbo also looked at Luo Yanning in surprise. He really didn't expect that his cousin was so versatile.

He has superb attainments in Wing Chun and can do magic. Now he has added a new talent, Tai Chi.

"Ning Ning, aren't you practicing Wing Chun?"

Gao Jun only recently heard that his nephew was still a martial arts practitioner.

When he heard the news, he thought others were joking with him.

He had watched Luo Yanning grow up, and he had not seen Luo Yanning perform a punch in decades.

However, after seeing various videos about Luo Yanning on the Internet, although it was hard to believe it, Gao Jun had to believe it.

Luo Yanning smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, I have dabbled a little, just dabbled a little..."

It's really embarrassing to talk about this. He doesn't know any Tai Chi, and he's still waiting to be drawn in a lottery.

"Director Luo is indeed a genius!" Chen Gang also gave Luo Yanning a thumbs up and said with admiration.

Luo Yanning smiled and waved her hands and said, "Okay, okay, please stop praising me. I should be proud if you continue to praise me."

"By the way, Luo Zi, why didn't you tell anyone about the bidding?"

In the final analysis, Wu Mingshi is most concerned about the business volume of his own printing factory.

If we can take over Desheng Shoes, it will be very important for Qiming Printing Factory. It is no wonder that Wu Mingshi urged us so urgently.

Luo Shuning turned his head to look at Wu Mingshi and explained, "He will come here in person later. I will find a chance to talk to him.

If this thing can be done, it will be done. If it can't be done, you and Lao Chen don't have to be depressed.

We should do it as we should in the future. Take it slowly. You will never make enough money."

Chen Gang nodded and said, "Mr. Luo, you are teaching me a lesson."

Wu Mingshi also smiled and said, "You don't know me yet. Am I such a person without a vision?"

Luo Shuning suggested, "Then let's eat and drink first, and then Shi Mingsheng will come and serve another table."

Wu Mingshi laughed and said, "Good guy, our meal is almost a buffet."

At the beginning, when only Luo Shuning and others were there, it was counted as one meal.

After Chen Gang came over, he ordered a few more dishes, which was also counted as one meal.

Plus, Shi Mingsheng will come later and we will have to serve wine and food again, so there will be another meal.

Luo Xuning smiled and said, "Originally, I should have treated you for this meal, but now, I feel that you should treat me more."

Wu Mingshi said straightforwardly, "If you can help me get the order from Desheng, let alone this meal, I will treat you for every meal."

"Okay, it's decided happily." Luo Xuning smiled and snapped his fingers.

If he was determined to get involved in this matter, he was more than 80% sure that he could get it.

One was the printing factory of his best friend, and the other was the business of a company he had just accepted as a young apprentice.

It was only natural to help the two of them connect and build a bridge.

It would be best if the two of them could see eye to eye and start cooperation, but it didn't matter if they didn't see eye to eye and had no intention of cooperation.

After finishing the business, Wu Mingshi suggested: "If it were up to me, we should not drink this wine for now, and leave some for the guests.

Don't let people come to drink with us later, we won't be able to hold our liquor."

Gao Jun smiled and said: "Xiao Wu is right, it's the first time to drink with others, don't let them look down on us."

Luo Shuning didn't care. Not to mention another Shi Mingsheng, even if there were ten or twenty of them, they would not be his opponent.

With the bug-like [Water Control] skill, Luo Shuning is a contemporary wine fairy, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Soon, everyone reached a consensus to only eat vegetables and drink juice, and never drink alcohol.

Around 3:30 in the afternoon, a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing a black training suit and looking energetic came to Baodi Hotel.

The man's name is Shi Mingsheng, the current chairman of Desheng Shoes, and the "old apprentice" that Luo Shuning just accepted.
