Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 254 A reminder to Sha Zhu: Busy Li Feng!

Li Feng quickly put the money into his pocket, while Sha Zhu opened the paper wrapping the porcelain and began to examine the tableware and tea set that Li Feng had bought.

Looking at the exquisitely crafted tableware in his hands, he couldn't help but marvel.

"These tablewares look beautiful."

"It feels even better than the VIP tableware used at Hongbinlou when I was an apprentice."

He then thanked Li Feng.

"Brother! Thank you."

"If I were to buy it in Beijing, I simply couldn't find such fine tableware."

"Not to mention it only cost seventy-five yuan."

"I feel that even for a little over a hundred yuan, you can't buy such good tableware and tea sets."

Li Feng simply waved his hand dismissively in response to Sha Zhu's thanks.

"It's nothing!"

"It's just something I did on the spur of the moment."

"But this trip to Jingdezhen was a real ordeal!"

"I had to change trains everywhere!"

"Why".

"Last time, it took several days just to travel by car."

Then Li Feng seemed to remember something, so he immediately said to Sha Zhu.

"My colleague helped me get this porcelain back!"

"They want to eat Sichuan food. Do you have time to help them cook Sichuan food?"

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu agreed without hesitation.

Then Sha Zhu smiled at Li Feng.

"What do you mean by helping or not helping?"

"Your colleague helped me, so of course I should treat you."

"When do you see your colleagues are free? I'll treat them to dinner."

When Li Feng heard that Sha Zhu was going to treat everyone, he nodded to Sha Zhu and said so.

"I'll ask them when I go to work tomorrow."

"Let's see when they're available!"

After Li Feng finished speaking, He Yushui brought all the dishes up. At this moment, He Yushui looked at the exquisite tableware in Sha Zhu's hands, and she couldn't help but ask Sha Zhu a question out of curiosity.

"elder brother!".

"These tablewares are so beautiful!"

"Did Brother Feng help you with this?"

Sha Zhu nodded directly to He Yushui at this moment.

"yes!".

"The tableware and tea set only cost a little over seventy yuan."

"These two sets of porcelain would cost at least a hundred in Beijing."

"Actually, I actually got a great deal!"

When Sha Zhu got to this point, he couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, Li Feng shook his head at Sha Zhu and said...

"You'd better stop laughing. You should put these two sets of porcelain away first."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu nodded to Li Feng.

"yes!".

"yes!".

"Put it away first, let's eat!"

"Have a meal.".

Sha Zhu quickly wrapped the porcelain in his hand with paper and then put it back into the box containing the porcelain.

Finally, Sha Zhu moved the porcelain to his own room.

After Sha Zhu put the porcelain away, he left the room and gave instructions to He Yushui.

"Rainwater, bring me my Moutai."

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, He Yushui quickly went to get the Moutai.

When Li Feng heard Sha Zhu ask He Yushui to get the Moutai, he was surprised.

"Silly Zhu!"

"You've even started drinking Moutai?"

"You still have money to buy this?"

Li Feng was extremely surprised that Sha Zhu bought Moutai!
It wasn't because Li Feng thought Sha Zhu couldn't afford Moutai, but because Li Feng thought that if Sha Zhu drank baijiu, he probably wouldn't buy such an expensive bottle.

Like before, the most expensive liquor that Sha Zhu drank was Fenjiu.

Li Feng was somewhat surprised that he was now drinking Moutai!

Then Li Feng thought of something else: Sha Zhu's life was indeed very good when he wasn't with Qin Huairu, and he was earning more than Sha Zhu in the original story.

If that's the case, then drinking Moutai seems acceptable.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about this, Sha Zhu, after hearing Li Feng's words, began to explain to him.

"This Moutai liquor was a gift from someone; how could I afford such an expensive liquor?"

After hearing Sha Zhu's explanation, Li Feng couldn't help but ask Sha Zhu a question out of curiosity.

"Who sent you such expensive wine?"

At this moment, Sha Zhu quickly explained to Li Feng.

"It was a gift from the host family when I was helping someone prepare a feast."

"The host is an official."

"He saw that my cooking was delicious, so he gave me a few bottles of Moutai!"

"Normally, I wouldn't dare to drink it."

"I only opened the door because you were here today."

Li Feng felt a little embarrassed by what Sha Zhu said, but to be honest, Li Feng had never tasted Moutai before.

So the two of them started drinking.

When Li Feng finished his first cup, he was surprised to find that this Moutai was indeed different from ordinary liquor. It had almost no spiciness, and instead had an indescribable mellow aroma.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but praise the Moutai.

"This Moutai is indeed a fine wine; its high price is justified."

"I reckon there aren't many people in your factory who get to drink Moutai!"

"You're living a good life."

When Li Feng finished speaking, he thought of Qin Huairu washing clothes for Sha Zhu, so Li Feng immediately said to Sha Zhu seriously.

"I've noticed Qin Huairu has been doing your laundry these past few days!"

"how?".

"I don't have time to wash your clothes because of the rain?"

When Li Feng asked the question, Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then he began to explain to Li Feng.

"Last time, Qin Huairu saw me preparing to take my dirty clothes out to wash, so she just offered to wash them for me, you know!"

“I don’t like washing clothes either, and there was no rain at that time, so to save trouble, I just let Qin Huairu do the washing.”

"What's wrong?".

"Is there a problem?"

At this moment, Sha Zhu looked at Li Feng with a questioning expression, because in Sha Zhu's opinion, this should not be a big deal.

At this moment, He Yushui also looked at Li Feng with a questioning expression.

Li Feng looked at Sha Zhu with a helpless expression.

"Is there still no problem?"

"This is a huge problem. Don't you know you have a partner?"

"If you don't have a partner, then it's nothing!"

"But if Wenhui finds out about this, do you think she'll be jealous?"

"If Wenhui minds, and she doesn't want to be with you, what will you do then?"

"Besides, Qin Huairu is a widow now. What if she thinks that you and Qin Huairu have an ambiguous relationship? How will you explain that?"

"It's like some things that are completely inexplicable!" At this moment, Li Feng explained the pros and cons to Sha Zhu in detail, and only then did Sha Zhu break out in a cold sweat.

"oops!".

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"Thanks to you!"

"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have thought of this."

As Sha Zhu finished speaking, he raised his glass and toasted Li Feng.

"brother!".

I won't say anything more.

"It's all in the wine."

After Li Feng saw that Sha Zhu understood, he nodded to Sha Zhu and said.

"Just so you know!"

Then Li Feng, just like Sha Zhu, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

At this moment, He Yushui was talking to Sha Zhu.

"elder brother!".

"This time, thanks to Brother Feng, otherwise my sister-in-law would definitely have been driven away by you."

"I won't have a sister-in-law then."

At this moment, Sha Zhu couldn't help but slap his forehead.

"Tomorrow, I'll tell Qin Huairu not to do my laundry anymore."

Next

After Li Feng and Sha Zhu finished a bottle of Moutai, he went straight home.

After all, for Li Feng, he was just there to drink and eat.

As for food, Li Feng had eaten quite a lot at the factory, so he didn't eat any staple food at Sha Zhu's place.

After returning home feeling dizzy, Li Feng quickly fell asleep.

The next day

After Li Feng arrived at the factory, he felt that the dizziness from the alcohol he drank this time didn't last as long as before.

Next, Li Feng began his work.

First of all, he was in charge of supervising the logistics support department and drawing lines in the northeastern region of the Shinsai Group.

Regarding the confirmation diagram of the marked positions, the final review document contains the signatures of Deputy Factory Director Zhu and the Factory Director.

Now Li Feng only needs to supervise.

Li Feng was responsible for coordinating the things needed for drawing the lines.

Meanwhile, the personnel department has begun drafting a recruitment announcement for the Asahi Shiroi group, which is essentially an internal recruitment process.

The recruitment targets are apprentices and first-level painters in the pastel and antique porcelain painting workshops.

There are five spots available.

The announcement caused a great deal of reaction.

At this moment, people from both the pastel and antique color groups were discussing the newly released announcement.

"This newly established Asahi-iro group only has five people?"

"It feels just like the new color group."

"If it's just apprentices and first-level painters, wouldn't it be easy for apprentices to get promoted if they go to the light ink painting group?"

After that person finished speaking, someone else spoke.

"We don't have the 'light color color' painting style in our factory, and it's not common even in Jingdezhen."

"I think so!"

"If you learn it, you should be able to make a lot of money."

"Look at those people in the new lottery group, don't they earn much more money than us?"

"Didn't the new color team send people over to help last year?"

"I heard that their salaries are at least 30% higher than before."

Those around him were surprised when they heard what he said.

If it's 30%, then that's indeed a lot more money.

If the monthly increase is 30%, the extra money over a year will be considerable.

At that time, they thought that the salary of Qianjiangcai should be about the same as that of Xincai.

However, the announcement did not specify the salary amount. After all, things like this are usually not written out in writing, so you have to make your own judgment.

However, they felt that since it was a newly established art form, it must have something special about it.

Therefore, everyone was very enthusiastic about signing up.

After all, they all felt this was an opportunity, and after taking statistics, it was found that about thirty people had signed up.

When Li Feng learned of this news, it was somewhat unexpected.

He originally thought that a dozen or so people would be enough, but to his surprise, so many people wanted to work there.

This was something he hadn't expected.

Next comes the assessment.

After all, the Light Color Group doesn't need that many people right now. The personnel department discussed it with Li Feng and then set the assessment time for three days later.

Regarding the assessment, Li Feng still needs to think about what needs to be assessed.

In the past few days, Li Feng asked Master Deng this question, and Master Deng's answer to Li Feng was to tell him to think carefully about the key points of famille rose porcelain.

As long as you assess the key aspects, the rest are largely the same.

Furthermore, Master Deng explained to Li Feng the assessment process used when transferring people to the group last time. After understanding Master Deng's meaning, Li Feng quickly wrote out an assessment plan.

Because Li Feng will be working with the personnel department to implement this plan in the coming days.

When Master Deng transferred people to the team to help last time, there were also people from the personnel department present. However, the personnel department did not play a significant role last time; it was mostly Master Deng who was in charge.

However, this is quite normal, after all, Master Deng is Master Deng in the factory, while the person sent by the personnel department is just a junior staff member.

He wouldn't say anything to Master Deng.

After asking Master Deng, Li Feng began to arrange for the laborers to move all the applied materials to the area of ​​the Shallow Color Painting group that had already been marked with lines.

After placing the items, Li Feng then directed the laborers to arrange them.

After the laborers arranged these items, the famille rose ware set was basically ready for production.

of course!

There are also some other things that need to be requested from the production department.

For example, pigments for painting porcelain, various oils, and other necessary items.

Li Feng had, of course, already applied for these things long ago.

After the laborers arranged these items according to Li Feng's instructions, Li Feng then instructed them to place the paints and other materials needed at each person's workstation.

The designated area can accommodate about fifteen workstations, but currently, Li Feng has only applied for five staff positions.

So!
The standard capacity is five people.

As for the other workstations, if things get busy, we basically need to bring in more people to the team.

After Li Feng instructed them to arrange these details, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

All that's left is to wait for the assessment tomorrow.

Those who pass the assessment will basically become members of the Asahi Shimae group.

Previously, Ge Ming, who was helping out at the Shinsaiku group, expressed his desire to join the Asahi-Saiku group.

However, Li Feng politely declined, because in his opinion, he used to paint pastels, and it would be better for him to continue painting pastels in the future.

At least they won't have to worry about finding work.

But it's hard to say about the light red and crimson color group.

After all, the light color painting group requires a lot of brushwork skills; only with good brushwork skills can you bring out the flavor of the painting.

So a certain amount of talent is still required.

After Li Feng directed and supervised the handling of these matters, he then reported the situation to his assistant, Han.

When Assistant Han heard that Li Feng had inspected and arranged all the venue and supplies, he nodded to Li Feng and said...

"Then it's up to you and Xiao Yu from the personnel department tomorrow."

"After the assessment tomorrow, just give me a list."

Upon hearing what Assistant Han said, Li Feng immediately nodded in response.

"it is good".
