Chapter 61 Rules
The boy's thoughts are written on his face, even if he doesn't say it, adults can guess it.

Uncle Wu patted him on the shoulder, "Ah Shan, don't think so much, your grandmother is still waiting for you to learn from a teacher and earn money to support you."

"Yeah!" Thinking of his grandma at home, the boy Ah Shan made up his mind, no matter how the Xu family treats him, he must learn this skill.

Xu Yue clawed at the crack of the door and looked hard until she could no longer see it, then she stepped back from the door.

As soon as I turned around, I saw my brothers and sisters all frowning and looking at me.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yue asked nervously.

Xu Erniang said: "Teaching the disciples to starve to death the master, you don't want to soften your heart because of their pity."

Xu Dalang didn't say anything, but looking at his expression, he probably thought the same as Xu Erniang.

Xu Yue sighed, "I'm not soft-hearted. Well, I'm a little bit. Everyone lives too hard, but I don't want to spread the kang craftsmanship because I sympathize with them."

The two brothers and sisters looked at Xu Yue suspiciously, Xu Yue beckoned her brother and sister to come in, "Go back to the room and say, it's freezing outside."

The three brothers and sisters moved to the big kang in the main room, and then Xu Yue continued to analyze the current situation for her brothers and sisters.

"The county is so big, just Dad and Uncle Dayou, the order will definitely not be completed in a short period of time. Now that it's snowing, everyone wants to put their kang up first."

"Therefore, there will be disputes soon, and Dad and Uncle Dayou will bear the brunt of it. If one is not handled properly, many people will be offended."

"For the sustainability of Pan Kang's business, Dad will definitely recruit more people to help."

"Everyone is not stupid. Pankang actually has no skills. Instead of being secretly learned the skills and then come to compete with our own business, it is better for us to take the initiative to recruit disciples and turn passive into active."

Speaking of this, Xu Yue looked at the sky outside, her father was coming back soon, and there was not much time left for her to prepare.

Regardless of whether her brothers and sisters understood what she meant, Xu Yue didn't have time to explain. She took out the wooden board that Xu Dalang wrote and drew before, found a few sticks of charcoal in the kitchen, and started writing on the board.

Accepting apprentices is certain, but the final interpretation is on their side.

As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. You can learn from a teacher, but the premise is to abide by the rules.

The first is to set the price.

If an industry wants to develop and grow, it must avoid vicious struggles with its peers. The market price is as good as it says, and it is not acceptable to increase or lower prices without permission.

The second is how to charge tuition fees.

According to Xu Yue's idea, no money is charged, and the teaching is free.

There are thirteen prefectures in Daqing, so why stick to a small Hejian County?

Once the fundamentals are expanded and the plate is so big, there is no need for everyone to pinch each other in a county.

A group of people are taught this year, and next year this group of people can continue to go to other places to work on the kang.

What's more, working on the kang is hard work, dealing with mud and water, dirty and tiring, if there is a better way to make a living, people don't bother to learn it.

The market will naturally weed out a group of followers, and those who are willing to work hard will be left in the end.

Xu Yue never thought of making a fortune with this little tuition fee. Her family is new and has no foundation, so it's better to use this little tuition fee to earn some popularity.

To be an official in Daqing is to follow the path of being filial and honest, and being powerful is not as useful as being famous.

Of course, if this person has both strength and reputation, then his official career will go more smoothly.

Although being an official has nothing to do with their family now, with this kind of favor, if anyone wants to bully them in the North City, they have to weigh it carefully.

The third point, which is also the core point, is the spirit of the industry.

If you want to make a kang, you have to go to the client's home. Apprentices must have a sense of boundaries in this kind of private space, and they must not mess around.

Otherwise, if someone engages in petty theft and ruins their reputation, the whole industry will die together.

The time is too short, Xu Yue can only think of these for the time being, she just finished writing these rules, Xu Da and Wang Dayou came back.

Maybe it was because he heard about Uncle Wu and others coming to learn art from a teacher. Whether Wang Da came home or not, he came to Xu's house with Xu Da.

Ah Shan has been staring at the alleyway, Xu Da and Wang Dayou just entered the house, and then they came to the door.

There was a knock on the courtyard door, and Uncle Wu asked to see him from outside. Xu Da didn't answer, and saw Xu Yue waving in the room, so he came into the room first.

"What do you think?" As soon as Xu Da came in, he asked Xu Yue what he thought about the apprenticeship.

In his view, although he was the one who carried out the matter of Pan Kang, Xu Yue and Wang were the founders who had the final right to explain the matter of Kang.

Wang Dayou watched Xu Da go to ask a child. He was already used to the strange way of getting along with this family, so he didn't feel anything.

Xu Yue handed the board she wrote to Xu Da, and asked him to see if there was anything to add.

Xu Da concentrated on looking at the wooden boards, Wang Dayou was illiterate, but he knew what they meant from the attitudes of the father and daughter.

This is to spread the skill of Pan Kang to the public.

Wang Dayou has nothing to be reluctant to part with. It's snowing and it's very cold. When he and Brother Xu went out today, they saw many frozen people on the side of the road.

At that time, he felt that with the heated kang, fewer people would freeze to death this winter.

Even Xu Da, who was planning to make a fortune by apprenticeship fees, gave up his original idea after seeing so many frozen people on the side of the road.

Some things you have to see and experience for yourself to understand how difficult it is.

The knock on the door gradually weakened, and there was no response from the inside, as if he was disheartened.

Xu Da put down the wooden board, looked at Xu Yue and said, "Young lady, you have opened up the pattern, daddy will do as you say."

After finishing speaking, he signaled Xu Yue and his sister to go back to the room, got up and came to the courtyard, and opened the door.

Uncle Wu and his party squatted outside the house. They didn't leave, they were still waiting at the door, wearing thin clothes, shivering in the cold wind.

The snow fell again, and soon covered the muddy streets with a white color.

Several people stood up in surprise, but they might have been squatting for too long, their feet were numb and their bodies were stiff, and they staggered, looking extremely embarrassed.

Before they could open their mouths, Xu Daxian asked, "Want to learn from Pan Kang with me?"

"Yes!" The boy Ah Shan hurriedly squeezed over. He couldn't stand upright just now, and then he fell down on his knees, offering the frozen fish in his hand, and begged with a pair of big black and white eyes:
"Master Xu, please teach us the kang kang skills. In the next life, we will repay you as cattle and horses!"

The young man has never read a book, so he copied the words he learned from the singing troupe, but he also spoke sincerely and firmly.

Xu Da looked at the young man in front of him, and at those outside who were about to imitate the young man, and nodded, "I can teach you."

"Ah?" Ah Shan didn't react a little bit, so he agreed?
