Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 36 Beer Bottles Hundreds of Years Ago
Seeing that Kojiro was willing to help find the courtyard house, Du Kang left and went to the factory, and Kojiro followed to see the situation of the factory.

At this time, Liu Erdan and the others were working hard there, making furniture with tools.

Du Kang called everyone together and said, "The business of the factory is booming now. I plan to recruit another [-] apprentices. The monthly salary is tentatively set at [-]. Go back and have a look. If anyone wants to come, you can bring him here.

If there are master craftsmen, I also welcome them. The monthly salary is set according to the craftsmanship, at least no less than [-], and every time a piece of furniture is made, there will be a certain reward.

The same goes for you. "

Everyone's faces were full of joy, saying that an apprentice must be a cow and a horse, but who would be willing, just to be able to learn the skills and have to endure it.

Unexpectedly, Du Kang decided to pay them wages, and it was twenty per person, which was already a lot among apprentices.

But when he heard that he still needs to recruit workers, Liu Erdan hesitated for a while, and said worriedly, "Boss, is this okay? Doesn't it mean that more than a few private recruits are capitalism. Are you sure it's okay to recruit [-] people?"

This is indeed a problem, and it is easy for others to use it as an excuse to attack him, but he has already thought of an excuse. He is recruiting apprentices. Are apprentices counted as workers?
No, workers are workers, and apprentices are apprentices. At least among carpenters, apprentices can only serve as helpers and let them work alone, without that ability at all.

Besides, he had already prepared his backhand, pointed to Kojiro next to him, and said:

"This is Kojiro Musashi. The factory has his share. Don't say that I am the owner of the factory. Kojiro is. We will work with him."

Kojiro grinned, what do you mean by working with me, I only hold [-]% of the shares in total, which is too ridiculous.

Knowing that what he gave himself was to use himself as a talisman, he didn't say much.

By default, this is a factory run by myself.

This is his backhand. It is capitalism to hire more people in the country, but what about foreign businessmen?People are always good!
You can't close down his factory just because he recruited a few more people.

As long as it's not too much, no one takes this seriously.

It doesn't take much, and it will last for a few more years. With the reform and opening, various factories will recruit workers, and this problem will not be a problem.

Let them disband and go to work, Du Kang remembered something and asked Kojiro:

"By the way, the factory has to have a name and a plaque. I've decided to name it Mujinxuan. Will you write the plaque?"

"No, you should find someone else to write."

It’s okay to ask someone to write a plaque, but who to ask, he doesn’t know any high-ranking officials, so you can ask him to write a plaque as a talisman.

After thinking for a long time, Du Kang decided to come by himself, got a writing brush, wrote the three characters Mujinxuan on a rosewood board, and then brought tools to start carving.

Others asked craftsmen to carve after writing, but he carved it by himself, and even wrote the characters by himself.

Although Kojiro did not write a plaque, Du Kang still asked him to name it, XX Co., Ltd., as a proof of foreign investment.

Regardless of other things, at least it must be proved that this is indeed a foreign-invested factory. If you want to touch him, you must think about the consequences of touching the foreign businessman. You can't do it without a good reason.

After all, from a certain point of view, foreign businessmen are one. Today you can find a reason to fuck him, and tomorrow you can find a reason to fuck me. They are always watching the wind direction to prevent problems.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Kojiro checked around and said goodbye, while Du Kang thought about how to subdivide the carved Buddhist altars.

It sounds easy to make a carved Buddhist altar, but in fact it is composed of more than 200 parts. It needs to be carved by a carpenter and pay attention to the mortise and tenon structure. A slight mistake will affect the overall effect. It is not easy to say that it is full of difficulties.

What he has to do is to divide these parts into details, refine the carving and assembly aspects step by step, and specialize in one part by himself, so that ordinary carpenters can make this difficult-to-manufacture carved Buddhist altar.

It's not easy, but fortunately he can be regarded as a master carpenter now, and he has some experience in making carved Buddhist altars, so he can find a way to disassemble the process.

Besides, it doesn't need to be done today, it only needs to be done in a month or two.

Halfway through the dismantling, Du Kang felt irritable, so he was ready to go out to relax and ride to the second-hand goods store. After such a long time, there should have been a lot of second-hand goods piled up there. See if you can find suitable old furniture. It is an antique, even if it cannot be restored, the car beads can be disassembled.

Parked the car at the gate of the second-hand goods station, the gatekeeper was still the old man, Du Kang smiled and said, "Grandpa, do you still recognize me?"

"It's you boy, where are my cigarettes?"

This memory is so good, I still remember the promised cigarettes.

Du Kang handed him two packs of cigarettes and said, "Grandpa, I'll go in and see if there are any good ones this time."

The old man waved his hand and let him in.

Du Kang searched inside and found huanghuali and rosewood, but they were all so dilapidated that there was almost no hope of repairing them, so they could only be used to drive beads.

It is also true that people live in poverty, and the furniture is sent here only when it is broken and can no longer be broken. How can there be many good things.

If you really want good things, you can try a trust store, which is also called a "consignment store", which is a store that accepts customers' entrustment and sells second-hand goods on behalf of customers.

Ordinary people can sell things on consignment, pay a certain handling fee, and redeem them if they cannot be sold.Or the store directly buys it out and sells it by itself at a very cheap price.

In the old saying, it is a pawn shop.

Damn, why didn't I think of the trust store, there are many antiques and the prices are cheap, because there is a rule "the old is not super new".No matter how good an antique is, it won't be that expensive.

No, he has to check it out when he has time.

Now, of course, I will continue to search for treasures at the second-hand goods station, in case there is something eye-catching to put here.

Walking around, Du Kang saw a pile of wine bottles, but he glanced casually, not intending to find anything good among them, but saw something wrong with an old wine bottle, why it looked so much like colored glaze.

He picked it up and saw that it was an ordinary old beer bottle. Du Kang wanted to throw it away, but the more he looked at it, the more it looked wrong. There were obvious stains and signs of aging on the bottle, not like the current glass bottle.

And its material is not modern glass, but ancient glassware.

Looking carefully, the beer bottle was at least hundreds of years old in his eyes.

Beer bottles from hundreds of years ago?How can it be.Could it be that I read it wrong.

No, it's true, it's an antique from hundreds of years ago.

Du Kang thought of the rumors he saw on the Internet before, and reacted.There are a large number of antiques, in addition to decent ones, there are even more unscrupulous ones.

Later, there were a lot of "creative antiques", which mainly combined modern culture and antiques to form a kind of contrast, lively and lively with a smile, so it was very popular.For example, "Tiger Roaring Mountains and Forests", which has been widely circulated on the Internet, draws fierce tigers into cute images, which makes people feel happy just by looking at them.

But this is fake at first glance, and it is worthless to sell it.

However, in the field of cultural relics, there are really some antiques that look "fake". If they are placed on the stalls in the antique market, according to people's inertial thinking, they will subconsciously think that they are fake antiques.

But they are actually top-notch cultural relics at a fair price, with a "sense of time travel", and each piece is priceless!
And there are quite a few such antiques, the most famous of which should be the Warring States Crystal Cup.

Except for the slightly thicker bottom and some traces of time, it is exactly the same as the glass that has been used for many years now.

And this beer bottle, according to his experience, is at least an antique hundreds of years ago.

There are "beer bottles", so is there a "beer bottle cap"?
The answer is yes, and it is a real antique. Of course, there is no "one more bottle" written inside, but a word "Xiang" engraved on the cover.

It was unearthed in a joint burial tomb of husband and wife in the Ming Dynasty. It is not used for bottle caps, but a "silver incense box" for women. Some spices will be placed in it. Its small and exquisite shape is easy to carry around, just like the makeup that modern fashion women carry with them. As convenient as a box.

The reason why it is made into the same jagged shape as the modern beer bottle cap is to prevent the cap from shaking off during walking.

Such an antique, if you look at it suddenly, let alone an ordinary person, even a serious appraiser can admit it.
