My nemesis is pregnant, the baby is mine

Chapter 5 What do you want to compare?

The next day, at noon, in the Qi's workshop just across the lane from the Qi's compound, Shen Mo put down the plane in his hand and patted his sawdust-covered clothes. The apprentices came together.

"Brother Shen, are you going to have dinner together?" The apprentice smiled, "Hey, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Shen Mo took the lead and walked out the door.

Shen Mo's house doesn't open fire at noon, he always settles his lunch on the street.

"It's about the saw you mentioned earlier..."

This apprentice was about the same age as Shen Mo, but he had been with Mr. Hong for about ten years. He knew everything about the big and small things in the carpenter's shop, and he was a warm-hearted person. Shen Mo also liked to chat with him.

The two came to the street, chose a small restaurant, and entered the door one after the other.The apprentice ordered a few side dishes, and then pulled Shen Mo to chat.

Shen Mo's workmanship is different from theirs, the apprentice discovered it on the first day, and he has been thinking about it since then, knowing that Shen Mo's tools are also somewhat different from theirs, he immediately became more motivated.

The two were chatting when someone sat down across the table. At first, Shen Mo thought it was a diner sharing a table, but when he raised his eyes and met the other's blunt eyes, he realized that the other person was not kind.

"How many people are there?"

Opposite Shen Mo are three men who are slightly older than him. The three of them have strong hands and feet, and the clothes on their bodies are all comfortable to move around. It seems that they are not colleagues but also workers.

"You bastard, you don't even know my senior brother? You did it on purpose!" As soon as Shen Mo's words came out, one of the three jumped out and slapped the table angrily.

"Why should I know?"

"you--"

"Okay, Junior Brother." The man called Senior Brother waved his hands to pretend to be generous, but his face was even uglier than his Junior Brother.

"What's the matter with you?" Shen Mo's voice became cold.

Seeing that Shen Mo really didn't seem to know him, and the veins appeared on his forehead, the senior brother took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger, and said in a commanding tone: "Leave Qi's house."

"what?"

"I asked you to leave Qi's workshop, and I will give you a chance to resign by yourself."

"Why did I leave Qi's workshop?" Shen Mo was amused by him.

"You just entered Qi's house by chance. I am being polite by giving you this opportunity. If you are still obsessed with it, then don't blame me for being rude!" The people all looked over.

"Am I opportunistic?" Shen Mo was puzzled, he couldn't remember when he was opportunistic, let alone when he had contact with the three people in front of him.

"This time the Qi family recruited, if you hadn't been opportunistic, how could the spot have fallen to you? What else do you have to argue?"

When the three of them talked about this matter, the more aggrieved they became, the more they thought about it after returning from Mr. Hong's place that day, the more they felt uneasy.

They have seen that thing before, if it is said to be so rare, it is nothing more than that, it is just some low-level tricks.If they had to prepare carefully again, they would definitely not lose to Shen Mo.

"It turned out to be dissatisfaction." Shen Moming understood.

"You—" Shen Mo broke his mind, and the faces of the three of them suddenly turned purple.

The apprentice who came out to eat with Shen Mo was mentioned in this way, and finally recognized the three of them, "Are you from the Qin faction who applied for the job a few days ago?"

"Hmph, that's right, you have winks." When their school was mentioned, the three of them raised their heads high and their faces were full of complacency.

Their Qin School has been passed down for a hundred years, and they can be regarded as prominent figures in the carpentry industry, especially their masters, who are well-known.

"Qin faction?" Shen Mo heard this word for the first time.

Seeing that Shen Mo didn't even know this, the proud three people's faces became more and more ferocious, and Shen Mo was very angry.

The apprentice quickly explained, "The Qin School is not too far away from us. It is a well-known school in the east. It has produced several powerful carpenters, and it has been around for some years."

"That's right, the current head of the Qin School is our master."

"Famous school? Then you are here to participate in the appraisal meeting soon? Do you have a famous post?" Shen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, what did he think of.

"So what?" the senior brother said with embarrassment on his face. It was something worth showing off to get the famous card from the Qi family, although the famous card was still because none of his senior brothers had any. Kongqu fell into his hands, but so what?

"If that's the case, why don't we have a gamble?" Shen Mo looked at the three people in front of him, his eyes lit up, he was worried that there was nothing he could do, but he didn't expect these people to come to his door by himself.

"what?"

"Let's take a gamble. If you win, then I will immediately go to Qi's family to resign as you said, but if you lose, then your name cards will belong to me." Shen Mo said.

The three people on the opposite side looked at each other in blank dismay. It was about a famous post, and they hesitated for a while.

Seeing this, Shen Mo snorted coldly, and said fiercely: "Why, didn't you just say that I won by opportunism and wanted me to look good, so you're afraid now?"

"Who is afraid? Just compare, what do you want to compare?" The senior brother was immediately enraged.

"Since we want to gamble, let's gamble with 'eyes'!" Shen Mo said with a smile, this was their own begging for nothing, and it's no one's fault if they lose.

"Okay, let's bet on this." The senior brother couldn't help laughing when he heard that.

He has been in contact with countless woods since he was a child, and he is already very familiar with woods. If Shen Mo wants to compare this with him, he is courting death!

The two people from the Qin faction next to them were a little uneasy when they saw that their senior brother was going to bet with Shen Mo with the name card, but now they couldn't help laughing, looking at Shen Mo as if they were looking at a self-defeating What a shameful fool.

"Then it's settled like this." Shen Mo also smiled.

The so-called gambling is actually a way for carpenters to compete with each other. In addition to the eyes, there are two kinds of hands and hearts.

Gambling eyes refers to the use of eyes to see, identify and identify, so as to judge the variety, material, year, place of origin, etc. of various woods.

Gambling on fingers is the level of skill of the carpenter. A craftsman is still inseparable from his hands.This competition is about the finished product and the details.

As for the heart, it refers to the composition design.It is not difficult to guess its composition after seeing the finished product, but not everyone can do it to design and compose something that is completely reasonable and better.

Of these three methods, the first one is the most common.

Because this method has accurate answers to distinguish between right and wrong, it does not require too many people to evaluate the results, and it is applicable at any time, unlike the other two methods that require others to judge and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.

"When did you start and where did you gamble?"

Shen Mo looked back at the apprentice beside him, who immediately said, "I'll go back to the workshop and ask the master if I can borrow the workshop."

To bet, there must be a variety of wood materials. It is too time-consuming for the two parties to find the materials separately and then appraise each other. Qi's workshop is a good choice, there must be all kinds of materials over there.

Regarding Shen Mo and the others' gamble, Mr. Hong did not refuse.It's still lunch break, as long as Shen Mo doesn't delay the business.

This incident happened in a restaurant. When Shen Mo brought the three of them to the workshop, there were already many spectators around him, and many even came after hearing the news.

A group of people entered the workshop, and immediately helped move tables and chairs, and set up two long tables in the middle of the room for the materials that will be brought out later.

The workshop is only one lane away from the Qi's compound, and when it is busy here, you can hear the movement from the other side of the Qi's compound.

After Qi Yunshu heard from the housekeeper that Shen Mo was going to gamble with someone from the Qin faction, and that the bet was on his Qi family's famous card, he couldn't help showing a bit of surprise on his face.

Qi Yunshu of the Qin sect knew it. Although it has been somewhat unsatisfactory in recent years, it can be regarded as a sect that has been passed down for a hundred years, and there is something in its stomach.

Compared with the people of the Qin School, it is not like comparing with ordinary craftsmen. Most of the disciples of the Martial School are well-informed, and they are very familiar with and proficient in wood. It is much more difficult for ordinary people to win against them.

Shen Mo's coming to Qi's family to seek employment was enough for him to remember him, and he did appreciate him a little bit about the general case, but he didn't expect that it would bring him another surprise now.

"Do you want the old slave to stop it?" the housekeeper asked.

This town is next to Qi's wood farm, and Qi's family is mainly engaged in the wood industry, and all the people who come and go are carpenters, so the people in the town are more or less interested in the wood industry. It can be said that other people's interest in gambling on wood is high.

The competition between Shen Mo and the others had already started so much that it could be heard from all sides of the Qi family's yard. If it really started, it would be much more lively. Qi Yunshu doesn't like too much noise.

"No need, let them compare!" Qi Yunshu gently slid his hand on his chin, and put the pad of his index finger against his lips, "By the way, do we still have some good stuff in our house?"

"there is."

"Have someone send it over." Qi Yunshu said.

The butler was a little surprised.The materials collected by the Qi Mansion are not ordinary goods from the bad street, and any one of them is absolutely extraordinary. It is difficult for craftsmen outside to take a look at it, let alone lend it to others to gamble.

Although he hasn't met Shen Mo yet, after the past few days, he has become somewhat curious about Shen Mo, the son of the Shen family, and wants to see how much he still has.

The butler put away the surprise in his eyes, and immediately asked someone to arrange it. Watching the servants deliver the selected pieces of wood, the butler looked back at Qi Yunshu, "Master, do you want to go over and have a look?"

This kind of competition similar to the appraisal meeting is not uncommon in their industry, but as the head of the Qi family, Qi Yunshu usually participates in large-scale or exchange meetings with veterans in the industry, so he rarely pays attention to such low-level people.

The housekeeper thought that Qi Yunshu would not go, but he didn't want him to think for a while, then got up and walked towards the workshop, "Go and see."
