Siheyuan: Jiehu Lou Xiaoe

Chapter 92 Apprenticeship
As soon as Su Ci heard that Uncle Guan had agreed to accept him as an apprentice, he quickly knelt down and bowed to his teacher.

No matter what era it is, as long as you have an apprenticeship, this apprenticeship ceremony is indispensable. Similarly, only after performing the apprenticeship ceremony can you be regarded as a member of the master's sect.

"Okay! Okay, okay! Since I promised to accept you as an apprentice and received your apprenticeship ceremony, I can't be stingy. I went out in a hurry today and didn't bring any presents. I will give you these two small porcelain bottles."

After Uncle Guan laughed twice, he handed over the two small porcelain bottles to Su Ci.

Su Ci took it with both hands, and after thanking him, he got up.

The deaf old lady looked at the two in front of her and felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Old lady, I plan to take my apprentice to Niu Ye's tavern, and Niu Ye will bring some books on this topic to Xiao Su to read, and let him say hello to Niu Ye, do you think so? ?”

Uncle Guan said.

Although he had accepted Su Ci as his apprentice, in terms of seniority, the deaf old lady was the oldest in the room.

Besides, Su Ci is the grandson of the deaf old lady, so he naturally wants to say hello to the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady nodded in agreement.

After getting permission from the deaf old lady, Uncle Guan took Su Ci out of the courtyard.

Along the way, Uncle Guan asked Su Ci many questions, and he didn't stop until he reached a small tavern.

As soon as the two got out of the car, a man also in a gray gown greeted them.

And this man is the Niu Ye mentioned by Uncle Guan!

On the way, Su Ci heard Uncle Guan say that this Niu Ye is also a great person, he is bold, loyal, and has the air of an old man in the capital!
"Rare guest, rare guest, what brought you, Uncle Guan, here? You need to have a good drink or two today."

Lord Niu bowed his hands and saluted.

"Master Niu, you are so polite, you actually came out to greet him in person, it really breaks my heart."

Uncle Guan cupped his fists in return.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Lord Niu welcomed them into the tavern.

The three of them found a table and sat down, and then ordered some Beijing special snacks.

"Uncle Guan, I was curious just after entering the door. The little brother next to you is a bit unfamiliar, unlike people in our circle."

Lord Niu said.

Uncle Guan took a sip of tea and looked at Master Niu.

"I'm not afraid that Master Niu will make fun of you. This is a bad boy I just accepted today. Please take care of Master Niu in the future!"

Master Niu was shocked now, and looked at Uncle Guan in disbelief.

He knew that Uncle Guan had not accepted apprentices for many years, and none of the apprentices he accepted was mediocre.

The young man in front of him must have some special skills to be favored by Uncle Guan.

Thinking of this, Master Niu became more and more curious.

"Given your vision, Uncle Guan, you won't accept apprentices easily. It seems that this little brother has some skills. Why don't you show me your hands?"

Uncle Guan naturally knew what Niu Ye meant.

"Xiao Su, Lord Niu wants to test you, what do you say?"

Uncle Guan threw the words to Su Ci at once, and Su Ci naturally had to continue.

"The younger generation is not talented, but I still have some confidence in my eyesight. As long as Master Niu shows the old things to the boy, the boy will be able to tell his year."

Su Ci said.

Master Niu turned around and entered the room after hearing this, and when he came out, he had a teapot in his hand.

Put the teapot in front of Su Ci.

"Boy, take it and have a look, and tell me the year of this teapot later."

Lord Niu said.

Su Ci opened the eyes of Jianzhen, picked up the teapot and looked around, and carefully returned the teapot to Master Niu.

Niu Ye result teapot asked the result.

"Master Niu, this teapot of yours has a long history. If you want me to say that it can last until the Ming Dynasty, and it was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the younger generation is right."

Su Ci said.

This time, Master Niu was shocked.

"Uncle Guan, your apprentice is really amazing, not bad at all."

The cow laughed.

Uncle Guan later told Master Niu that Su Ci had never studied antiques. Master Niu was even more surprised, and even said that Uncle Guan had a successor.

Afterwards, Uncle Guan and Master Niu gave Su Ci some rules in the antique world, such as not being able to step over other people's stalls, only going forward or exiting, don't bargain with friends, and don't take other buyers' hands. Look inside.
When the three of them were chatting vigorously, Master Niu's family came out of Master Niu's room with a pile of books.

Because Uncle Guan said he was looking for books for Su Ci, Master Niu sorted out the books.

When Master Niu's family put the book in front of Su Ci, Su Ci's eyes lit up, staring at the book in front of him.

Uncle Guan looked at Su Ci, and naturally knew that Su Ci was eager to study now, so he asked him to read it first, and then pointed out what he didn't understand.

After Su Ci nodded, he picked up a book and devoted himself to reading it.
Unknowingly, it was evening, and Uncle Guan didn't intend to disturb Su Ci when he saw that Su Ci was so devoted.

But looking at the sky, I knew it was getting late.

"Xiao Su, it's getting late, take these books home and read slowly!"

Uncle Guan said.

Only then did Su Ci realize the time, looked up at the sky, and found that it was indeed getting late, so he was about to get up and leave.

Before leaving, he returned a few books to Master Niu.

"What? Are you not interested in these books?" Master Niu asked.

Su Ci quickly explained.

"Master Niu, it's not that you're not interested, it's just that I've read all the basic books and memorized them all."

Master Niu and Uncle Guan were shocked again!

"Boy, antiques are not instant. Since you said you memorized them all, I will test you."

Lord Niu said.

Afterwards, Lord Niu asked some questions about antique appreciation, and Su Ci answered them fluently.

Uncle Guan and Master Niu were shocked again, and even said that Su Ci is a rare talent that cannot be seen in a century.

After bidding farewell to Lord Niu, Su Ci returned to the yard.

For several days in a row, Su Ci returned to the house to read books as soon as he got off work, and would take the books to the security department to read when he had something to do.

On this day, Su Ci was looking at antique books in the security department as before, when Director Yang's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Xiao Su, come out, I need to find you."

Su Ci put down the books in his hands and hurried out.

"Director Yang, what do you want from me?"

Su Ci asked.

"Now you immediately put down everything you are doing and come with me. There is a leader who wants to see you."

After finishing speaking, Director Yang pulled Su Ci and walked towards the parking lot.

Su Ci followed Director Yang to the parking lot of the rolling mill. Although it was called a parking lot, it was actually an open space with only a few cars on it.

The two quickly got into the car, and when the car had already left the gate of the rolling mill, Director Yang suddenly looked at Su Ci.

"Xiao Su, the place we're going to go later is the home of the big leader. When we get there, you can say whatever the big leader asks. If he doesn't ask, you don't talk, let alone talk nonsense. You know."

Director Yang said.

Su Ci said that he knew it, but he thought in his heart that this time the big leader called me in the past must be for the technical reform of the factory. If I don't say it, should I let you say it?

Along the way, Factory Manager Yang took care of some things for Su Ci, but in summary, it was nothing more than, don't look at, touch, or talk nonsense.

Soon, the car stood at the gate of a compound.

The driver, Xiao Wang, opened the back seat door. After the two got out of the car, Director Yang gave Xiao Wang a few words, and then walked into the compound with Su Ci.

The style of this compound is somewhat Western style, Director Yang told Su Ci not to run around, just follow him.

Soon the two entered a room where Director Wang was waiting for them.

Seeing the two of them coming, Director Wang stepped forward to be polite with Director Yang, then turned to look at Su Ci.

"Director Wang, this is Su Ci, the chief of the security department of our factory that I mentioned to you before. This factory machine improvement and production reform are all led by him."

Director Yang said.
