Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 418 Tamaki's Work: Longevity Without Borders
……

Silent night.

The bamboo products workshop is not quiet at all.

Hundreds of craftsmen are working hard to make bamboo mats and other bamboo products.

There is no way, now is the peak of bamboo products workshop business, if you don't work hard to make money in these few months, then you can only drink the northwest wind when the Chinese New Year comes.

The reason why hundreds of craftsmen work so hard is because Liu Xing pays them piece-rate wages, and the more they do, the more money they get.

Masters with good craftsmanship and fast movements can basically get more than 100 yuan a day, or even more than 200 yuan, which was unimaginable in [-].

But they also know how to be grateful. When making bamboo mats at the fastest speed, they also ensure the quality.

Of course, it's okay not to guarantee it, because Zhu Xiuqing is watching from the side at all times.

If you are disobedient, then it is not a matter of rework, and wages will be deducted.

It's just that such things generally don't happen, because everyone cherishes this hard-won job.

They also know that they have met a good boss, if they screw up the boss's business because of quality, then they will still have nothing to eat.

So with this kind of thinking, the production enthusiasm of the Bamboo Bamboo Products Workshop increased. Seeing that everyone was working hard, Zhu Xiuqing went to the preserved egg breakfast shop and asked Liu Xing for supper money.

After all, I never worked overtime so late before, nor did I have the expense of eating supper.

Liu Xing was currently supervising Fengmang carving dragons and phoenixes on Hetian jade, and when he heard Zhu Xiuqing's words, he frowned: "You can figure out the money for tonight's supper, and you can't work overtime after nine o'clock in the evening. Did you hear that?"

"But we have a large number of orders waiting to be delivered!" Zhu Xiuqing became anxious when he heard this.

"Then postpone it and let the boss who placed the order wait. If one day fails, then one week, and if one week fails, then one month!" Liu Xing replied without raising his head.

"How can you do business like this! What if all the orders are gone?" Zhu Xiuqing said repeatedly.

"If it's gone, it's gone. What are you afraid of? I didn't give you less money!" Liu Xing looked at Zhu Xiuqing seriously: "Sister, it seems that you don't know how to do business at all, and you don't know anything about the bamboo products workshop. Why are there so many orders?"

"This..." Zhu Xiuqing sneered.

"Listen well, now in the entire HY city, only our bamboo products workshop can produce bamboo mats and other bamboo products in large quantities, and it has formed a certain scale. To put it bluntly, this is a monopoly, monopolizing business If you told me that the order would go away, aren’t you talking nonsense?” Liu Xing said angrily.

"Then...then you can't stop the craftsmen of the Bamboo Bamboo Products Workshop from working overtime voluntarily! Many of them are the pillars of the family, and they are willing to work more overtime and make more money!" Zhu Xiuqing knew that Liu Xing was very reasonable, and apologized After smiling, he expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Sister, these craftsmen start working at seven o'clock in the morning and can't rest until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening. Do you know what this means? It means overdrafting your future body. As the boss, I naturally I know the importance of earning money to support my family, but I hope that all craftsmen can make money by combining work and rest. If one day some craftsmen die of exhaustion in the bamboo workshop, what is your conscience? Where is my conscience? "Liu Xingyu said earnestly.

"This... I understand, I understand!" Zhu Xiuqing didn't expect that Liu Xing would not let the artisans work overtime for the sake of everyone's health. Apart from being moved, she was more pleased.

"Go and do your work! Make sure you make supper better!" Liu Xing waved his hand.

"Understood!" Zhu Xiuqing saw that Liu Xing and Feng Mang hadn't eaten anything after being busy so late, so she took it to heart.

Liu Xing watched Zhu Xiuqing go away, and shook his head helplessly for a while.

Because he just discovered that letting Zhu Xiuqing manage the bamboo strip products workshop may cause problems after a long time. After all, he has not read many books and only sees the immediate benefits, but not the long-term development.

This is not going to work, it seems that one day a capable manager will be recruited to assist Zhu Xiuqing to manage the bamboo workshop.

After all, the bamboo workshop is now his most profitable industry. If he doesn't manage it well, it may be too late when he reacts.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing smiled self-deprecatingly. He suddenly remembered the original intention of opening a bamboo workshop. He just wanted to make a transition to earn some food money. Who knew that this transition would have the scale it is today.

Although it was not easy, he knew that all of this seemed to be preordained in the dark.

Because since he opened the workshop of bamboo products, the craft of bamboo craftsman is destined to have an indissoluble bond with him for a lifetime.

From repairing the golden bean steamer to building the bamboo bridge, everything is related to the craftsmanship of bamboo craftsmen.

I just hope that this bamboo craftsmanship can continue to flourish in his hands, instead of disappearing in the long river of time with the changes of the times.

Seeing that it was already very late, after talking to Feng Mang, he took him to Li Dawei's restaurant for supper.

What he didn't know was that there was a little disturbance in the bamboo workshop at this time, that is, the group of more than a dozen craftsmen led by Li Hu suddenly complained of back pain and rolled on the ground in pain.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhu Xiuqing quickly sent someone to a small outpatient clinic in the market, and finally came to the conclusion that it was acute kidney stones.

Acute kidney stones have a lot to do with sitting for a long time without drinking water, that is to say, it is related to working for a long time in a bamboo workshop without rest and drinking water.

This conclusion frightened Zhu Xiuqing. Only now did she know Liu Xing's real intention of not letting all craftsmen work overtime to produce bamboo products.

It turns out that if you work for a long time without rest, your body will really have problems, and it is a big problem.

But fortunately, Liu Xing reminded him early, otherwise it would be too long and dead people would appear, it would be really unimaginable.

……

Silent all night.

When Liu Xing woke up, it was already past two noon the next day.

He knew that the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang carved by the edge should be almost ready. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he ate something casually, and then went into the No. [-] greenhouse with a tool bag on his back. Xiang's 'Tuo'.

In fact, this trust.

He also has another name, which is Flowing Water.

It's just that in order to surprise Sikong Lei, he didn't say it.

It is not the first time for him to make flowing water, so he is very skilled in making it.

The incorruption of flowing water and the auspiciousness of the dragon and phoenix have another auspicious meaning in it decades later, that is, the sunrise in the east, the long stream of thin water, and the boundless longevity.

Why there is such a meaning, it is because of the jade carving of the dragon and the phoenix, the round object surrounded by the dragon and the phoenix is ​​the sun, and the sun is also called the sun.

That's why there is such a saying that the sun rises in the east, the water flows forever, and there is no limit to life.

Of course, this is a handicraft made by craftsmen decades later.

It was a sensation at the time, and the first original product was even auctioned for a price of 3000 million.

If Lin Yaotian knew his stuff, he would have liked his work, and he would have looked at Si Konglei differently. After all, this work was decades ahead of time, with enough creativity and boo.

Moreover, his flowing and incorruptible design was a lost handicraft in the past [-] years, once it appeared at Lin Yaotian's birthday party, it would probably cause quite a stir.

And that's what he wanted.

Let the members of the Lin family, as well as those upper-level people, have a new understanding of Sikong Lei through the works he produced.

But even so, the plan was perfect.

But at the birthday party at that time, it was hard to say whether it would be like this.

After all, it is impossible for him to control everything perfectly.

If he could, he would not be a man, but a god.

Immersed in the world of artisan creations, time flies by.

Four days passed in a flash.

And Liu Xing finally completed this work of 'combining jade and wood'.

But he didn't hand it over to Sikong Lei at the first time, but went back to sleep after patting the dust on his body tired.

When I woke up again, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

Sikong Lei had already driven his new Santana car and waited at the door, because there is still one day left, which is Lin Yaotian's 60th birthday, if he misses it, he may never have a chance for Lin Putao to reconcile with Lin Yaotian.

For Sikong Lei's waiting, Liu Xing was very sorry.

But they didn't say any more nonsense, and brought Sikong Lei and Lin Putao to the door of Greenhouse No. [-]: "Wait for me first, I'm going to get my birthday present!"

With that said, he went straight into the No. [-] greenhouse.

There is no other way, the No. [-] shed has been guarded by men in black from the old Liu school because of the many precious materials stored there, and it is the first time for Lin Putao to come here. Waiting for a series of trivial procedures, so in order to save time, it is better to let the couple wait.

Naturally, Sikong Lei and Lin Putao didn't care about this, but waited with some anticipation.

After a while, Liu Xing was seen walking out of the big box with great effort.

Seeing this, Sikong Lei quickly went up to meet him and helped him carry it out.

Seeing that there were no other outsiders around, Liu Xing opened the box in front of Lin Putao and Sikong Lei: "This work made of jade and wood is called 'Boundless Longevity', I think there should be no problem in giving it to Mr. Lin! "

"Boundless life..." Lin Putao looked at the works in the big box, and covered her mouth in silence.

Sikong Lei's eyes widened even more.

It turns out that the "Longevity without Boundaries" in the big box, in addition to the lifelike jade carvings of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, also has a waterwheel driven by a waterfall. People seem to be in a beautiful picture and cannot extricate themselves.
