No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

"Okay, okay." Ou Mengmeng smiled. As expected, she was much more tolerant towards her daughter.
"First of all, I don't like that manager. He has no empathy. He only sees that these people are idle and doing private work, and he just wants to give them more work to do. But he doesn't think that our work is time-limited. If there is no time limit, why should they work so hard? That's why I didn't say anything just now, don't overdo it." Ou Mengmeng said slowly.

"So you didn't refute it, but you are actually going to fire him?" Jiang understood. The old lady only said "Don't go too far" at that time. She didn't agree with his approach, but it was a reminder to the person who was about to be fired, which was her kindness.

"Thinking about it this way, the manager either has no idea about the craft or is just heartless. He deserves to be punished!" Sun Shangxiang nodded.

Now they understood why the old lady's face changed after she finished talking to the steward. If it were them, they wouldn't like this steward either. They were given the job just to make a good impression, but in the end, they were ruined by this brat. How could the old lady be happy?

The two of them were educated, but the old lady didn't seem to want to continue. But in Sun Shangxiang's opinion, the focus was on the woman. If she was just repeating what others said, she would have promoted her in vain. But she was too embarrassed to ask again, so she quickly pulled her sister-in-law next to her.

"What about that woman? Aren't you worried that she is stealing the credit from others?" Jiang was pulled back by her sister-in-law and had to ask the second question herself.

"So what? Do you really expect someone to come out and judge justice for this matter in the workshop? I look at the results. This workshop has been open for half a year, and only this woman has made changes. She also told me what other changes can be made. This courage alone is worth my promotion. And she has good expressive ability, which is also an ability. Why shouldn't I use it?" Ou Mengmeng nodded. This question hit the point.

Stealing credit in the workplace is a matter of national conditions and times! It happens everywhere. Want to avoid it? Where to hide? So Ou Mengmeng never cares. In her opinion, stealing credit also requires technical skills. Ou Mengmeng never cares about stealing credit. What she cares about is whether you steal credit beautifully.

Like the woman just now, regardless of whether this idea was her own, she implemented it and benefited from it. What does this show? It shows that this woman dared to think and act, was able to get the job of the water tank from the manager, changed the process herself, and asked the manager to change the start time to the evening. This shows everywhere.

That's what I mean. She was also troubled by the unreasonable division of labor in cutting bamboo, drying bamboo, and packaging. She also thought about optimizing it, but she also started doing experiments. Among these experiments, this step really cannot be optimized.

She also felt that it was a bit hard, so she paid. You are the ones who actually do the work, if there are any problems in the process, or if you have any ideas for optimization, you can report them to me.

Just like the woman, she absolutely believed that the bamboo basket must not be the earliest version, and it must have been tested again and again. In this way, whether it is her own experiment or asking others to experiment, and it succeeds, she thinks that this persistence should be promoted.

As for the possibility that someone else came up with the idea, Ou Mengmeng didn't care. There were only two types of people like that: those in the workshop and those outside.

If they were people from this workshop, they would come up to take a look when they had nothing to do. Besides, everyone knew that they were in the workshop downstairs every day and only went up and down a few steps. No one knew that she was Wu Guotai, so who could stop them from giving suggestions?

If it wasn't someone from the workshop, then it must be this woman's own connections. If she could coax someone to tell her a good method, why did she have to know who that person was? In the final analysis, the woman just now had fully demonstrated her ability, and now there was no establishment, so she could use it if she wanted to.

Sun Shangxiang and Jiang suddenly realized that they had thought too much. The old lady had been managing the affairs of the mansion for many years, and she had not worked there for nothing. "What we just did still can't solve the problem of brittle paper." Returning to the workshop, Ou Mengmeng saw the paper pool and became depressed again. After turning it around, she only removed the green skin, but this did not solve the fundamental problem.

"Mother, you have successfully made bamboo paper, and you have really greatly improved the production method. Our cost is lower than Cai Hou's paper. Now we haven't taken the paper out, but if we take it out, maybe we can really fulfill Cai Hou's wish." Sun Shangxiang said hurriedly.

How could Ou Mengmeng not know that what they were doing now was much better than before? But was it just a question of whether it was better or not? Her main concern was still the issue of printing the book. How could a book be printed without paper?

As I said before, to do this kind of thing, you need to have money and time to find a group of people to study it without interference.

Cai Lun's greatness lies in the fact that he formed the papermaking technique into a system. Later generations actually made minor adjustments to this system, but they did not change it in essence.

After that, in the past 100 years, each family had their own way of doing things, but the essence remained the same. Caihou Paper at this time must have made great progress compared to the original, and the lack of progress before him was not obvious, not because of the people, but because of the times. With wars every day and the threat of extinction, who would have the time to dream of technological innovation?
She took advantage of the opportunity of being a "prophet"! She knew that in the next few decades, the Dongwu area would actually be stable. Because it was stable and she had the title of Wu Guotai, she could make things with peace of mind.

Obviously, she still overestimated herself and should trust these experienced people. For example, in the process of washing linen just now, she had used the old-fashioned washing machine for many years and had never thought that it could be used here. So, if she was not tough enough, she should listen to the people who had been making paper for a long time.

He clapped his hands, called the people in the workshop over, told them what happened on the mountain, and shook his head, "So, I am getting old and confused. You are obviously the experienced ones, and I should listen to you."

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

"It's okay. The workshop on the mountain needs to be renovated anyway. Let's take a few days off and we'll go back and think about it. Sharpening the knife does not hinder the chopping of wood." Ou Mengmeng smiled and waved her hand.

No one dared to say anything. They bowed, cleaned up the place, and left. Ou Mengmeng smiled at Jiang and said, "You should go back and think about it."

Jiang looked at her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law also shook her head. She guessed that there was nothing to say about this.

On the way home, Jiang also felt a headache. She felt that her sister-in-law was right. Her mother-in-law had successfully made bamboo paper. Secondly, she had made it better than most people. She really didn't understand what her mother-in-law wanted. (End of this chapter)
