Chapter 1739 The Ancestor’s Craftsmanship Is About to Be Lost

I could vaguely hear the sound of jingling. It was the craftsmen who were working. The craftsmen who repaired this kind of ancient buildings were very hard to find, and the price was more expensive than ordinary craftsmen. Huo Jinzhi searched for a long time before he found it. Several craftsmen were working on the corridor. Carving pillars.

Curious about this, Tang Xiaonan stood behind the craftsman and watched without making a sound. The craftsman worked so hard that he didn't notice anyone coming.

Craftsmen carefully carved patterns on the pillars, all of which are very complicated and cumbersome. They look very beautiful, just like paintings. Tang Xiaonan was fascinated by them. The craftsmanship of the ancestors is really amazing. Over the past few decades, there must have been fewer and fewer craftsmen who know how to do this.

She didn't know why she knew, but she knew anyway, and she was very sure.

"Master, are there many people doing your work?" Tang Xiaonan asked.

The craftsman put away his knife hurriedly, turned his head and saw Huo Jinzhi, his attitude became respectful, he greeted him, and replied: "Not much more, this job is tiring and does not make money, no one wants to learn it. "

Several other craftsmen also took over their jobs and gathered around to say hello. They were not young, the oldest was sixty or seventy years old, the youngest was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a childish face, and the other two were in their forties or fifties. The face is full of vicissitudes.

Tang Xiaonan noticed that their hands were full of cracks, and the cracks were black and looked particularly dirty. Just by looking at these hands, one could tell how hard the job was.

"Is it difficult to learn this?"

"It's so difficult, I don't even want to learn."

The young boy blurted out, and just as he finished speaking, the old man slapped his head, "What nonsense, this is a handicraft handed down from our ancestors, it cannot be eliminated, you must learn it."

The boy flattened his mouth aggrievedly, and looked down at his bruised hands. He didn't like to learn this at all. He wanted to learn how to make clothes. Some people in the village went to Pengcheng to make clothes, and they could earn more than a thousand a month. Woolen cloth.

What's the use of doing this with grandpa, only a few hundred yuan a month, and being exhausted, and being looked down upon by others?

But if he doesn't learn, grandpa will beat him, and the old man is not in good health, he coughs when he gets angry, he feels sorry for grandpa, so he had to agree to come and learn.

Tang Xiaonan saw the boy's reluctance, and asked, "How much money do you make a month now?"

"Thanks to my master, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking these few years. I get twenty yuan a day." The old man said with a smile, his expression very satisfied.

It will take three to four years to build this big house, which means that his family will have enough to eat and drink for three or four years, and he will be happy if he can still have a surplus.

Tang Xiaonan frowned slightly, twenty yuan a day, six hundred a month, maybe not including food and drink, although the salary is not low, but it is not high, no wonder this boy is unwilling to learn.

Huo Jinzhi saw her thoughts, and said with a smile, "I gave the highest price in the industry."

"That's right, the owner is kind, and the wages are high, in some places it's only fifteen yuan." The old man couldn't help nodding, with grateful eyes.

That's why he asked his son to work hard. The boss is kind, so they have to do well. Craftsmen do things with conscience, and they can't do things that are bad.

Tang Xiaonan dragged Huo Jinzhi aside, and said in a low voice, "I want to pay that boy, and I will pay the money. I don't want this industry to be lost, can I?"

"Of course, how much do you want to send?" Huo Jinzhi agreed without hesitation.
