Chapter VII
Things about the kids were quickly dropped.
Take the train to Gray Bird Town and spend a morning there, having lunch with Lin Youde.
After some rest, Ding Chongguang officially came to the workshop.
The ultra-large-scale mortal workshop and assembly line workshop is right here.
Workers work in two shifts every day and work non-stop. All kinds of farm tools, equipment parts, and handicrafts are produced here and then transported to various places in Qinghe County and around Chiyan Country.
However, unlike the bustling atmosphere outside, the central hall of the workshop was filled with solemnity.
The body of Zhou Bo, an old mechanic who died yesterday, is placed in the center. In front of him is an empty basin for burning paper money, and next to it is a basin filled with earth for placing incense.
It was this kind of ceremony when a craftsman from Qinghe County died.
From time to time, workers who took time out of their busy schedule came to pay their respects.
This old technician is an innate warrior in his own right, with more than thirty years of smelting experience. He is best at making fine objects for noble people, and it is easy to carve rice grains.
He is also the most enlightened, or the one with the most sensitive sense of smell, among many old masters. After seeing the potential of the Gray Bird Town workshop, he took the initiative to join and actively learn new concepts and knowledge, so as to integrate and innovate old technologies.
And recruited many apprentices.
He is responsible for 30% of the reason why the Gray Bird Town Workshop has developed so rapidly, and most of the people in the workshop are his apprentices.
In addition to Zhou Bo's wife and several sons, there were more than twenty men mourning in front of the brazier.
Everyone's eyes were red from crying and they said words of gratitude.
"If it weren't for Master Zhou, our family would have starved to death! Master Zhou has been very kind to our family!"
"I remember that year, it was very windy and snowy..."
"...Master Zhou also said that he would make me the steward of the workshop..."
"It's not that we don't know kindness. We will stay here for Master Zhou for seven days!"
…
"Dad, people outside are so busy, don't they need to work?"
Ding Quan happened to hear the last game when he walked in. His eyes were full of confusion and he asked in a low voice.
He had just learned about this unique town and was infected by the high-spirited and hopeful workers when he heard these remarks.
Under Huang Zhen'er's discipline, he still knew how to be measured. He noticed the solemn environment of the mourning hall and deliberately suppressed his tone.
It's just that the people in the house, even if they are not martial artists or practitioners, have already become rich. In order to work better, they have bought many elixirs to improve their physical fitness.
Therefore, everyone present heard this sentence.
"Where did it come from...Hey! Mr. Ding! The county magistrate!"
"Bah bang bang!"
Some people subconsciously wanted to curse, but when they saw a family of three entering the door and the acting magistrate Lin Youde who came with them, they were so frightened that their legs weakened and they slapped themselves repeatedly.
"The response has been pretty good."
When Ding Chongguang saw this man acting like this, he didn't care. He led his family to the brazier, stood and lit three incense sticks, and placed them on the incense stand.
Huang Zhener took Ding Quan and burned some paper money to show respect.
"Gong Zhou contributed a lot to Gray Bird Workshop in the second half of his life. In the short term, he taught apprentices and fed a county. In the long term, he opened up an era."
"Such a person deserves my respect and I should come to see him off."
Ding Chongguang said in a respectful tone.
The onlookers all came to express their admiration that Zhou Gong had lived a good life and that there was actually a big shot among the immortal cultivators who came specially to see him off.
Secondly, I also sighed that this benefactor's benevolence and righteousness were different from those of ordinary people, and he was trustworthy.
Ding Chongguang pondered for a moment and then looked at a man in black robes aside and said: "We can't treat Zhou Gong's family badly. Have we done a good job in providing compensation?"
