Chapter 196 Ceramic Firing
Haihua said in surprise: "That's great! If this is true, our ceramics will surely sell well."
Li Ran also said excitedly: "Then let's try it quickly."
Chen Di nodded in agreement: "Okay, then let's prepare the materials and start the experiment right away."
Seeing the spirited young man Wang Xiaoshan just standing by and watching, he said, "Xiaoshan, you have to watch carefully and listen to how Liqin performs."
Wang Xiaoshan, who originally just wanted to be a spectator, immediately became nervous. Knowing that the boss was going to use him, he immediately perked up.
Hearing that Li Ran had increased his salary, he felt a little disappointed that he had worked for almost 2 years but was not as good as someone who had only been there for days. When the opportunity finally came to him, he immediately became energetic and straightened his body.
Wang Xiaoshan, 24 years old, is better looking than Liqin in terms of appearance. He is 178cm tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, regular features, and a bit of tendon meat on his body. The head shopkeeper He Yuan was attracted by his active personality and good looks. Xiao Haihua has an aristocratic appearance that makes people amazed at first glance. He is more attractive and his height advantage has surpassed many of his peers.
Li Liqin comforted him instead: "Xiaoshan, I will write down the steps for you later. You will become proficient after practicing a few times. Our main purpose is to show customers how ceramics are transformed from mud into a smooth work of art."
"Some customers would like to have their own designs made, so you can charge a processing fee. We can split 50% with the store owner. But we can only make small products. We can't make large ones, and there will be defects, because we are not professional ceramic masters after all. I also figured it out bit by bit. For big ceramics, don't agree to anything someone asks you to do, and don't let others blackmail you for the sake of a small loss. Remember! Remember!"
Wang Xiaoshan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Boss, if I learn it, can I also get 50% of the processing fee?"
Li Ran, who was one centimeter taller than him, gave him a slap on the face: "Look at how greedy you are. You are obsessed with money. It's good enough that you don't bring trouble to the store. Study hard. Do you hear me?"
Haihua came over and pulled the two apart: "Xiaoshan, don't burn the porcelain of the coroner, remember that. You will study hard and observe the operation sequence carefully. Only when you have mastered the skills can you make money. People can't make a penny beyond their cognition. Do you understand?" "Go, take a pen and paper and remember it yourself. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen."
Wang Xiaoshan's eyes were moist with gratitude: "Young boss, you are right. I will go get the pen."
Wang Xiaoshan quickly brought paper and pen and stood aside, ready to take careful notes.
Li Liqin began to operate the clay, explaining as he did it: "First, knead the clay evenly and remove the bubbles inside. Then, shape it according to the desired shape..."
Everyone watched intently, afraid of missing any details.
Wang Xiaoshan wrote furiously, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Li Liqin continued: "Next, it is the key firing step. The temperature must be well controlled..."
Under Li Liqin's demonstration, a preliminary ceramic gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.
Wang Xiaoshan stared without blinking, his heart full of anticipation and longing.
Li Liqin looked at his watch and said, "Brother Jin should be here. Now, help me move the small firing equipment in."
As expected, the fat shop owner surnamed Jin from yesterday appeared at the door. He touched his hair awkwardly and said, "Boss, I'm sorry for yesterday. I only remembered later that it was you."
Chen Di patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, brother. Yesterday was a special situation. We concealed it on purpose. It's not your fault."
As they were moving some small equipment, Jin Zhouqin asked, "Boss, is that bottle of wine really a French wine?" He added, "I also heard it from customers. Some old customers knew that our two stores were owned by the same owner, so they started gossiping out of curiosity."
Chen Di nodded: "Yes, fortunately, a master has sealed it." He called the security guard Li Ran again: "Old Jin, this young man is called Li Ran. He is the team leader sent by my father to be in charge of security work. There will be two more security staff coming tomorrow. One is mobile. He will go to the side with more people to be on duty, and the mobile person will take the rest."
"Old Jin, the three of them are full-time security personnel. Don't assign them too much work. Their main job is to protect precious antiques. They are also your personal bodyguards. They can be arranged to provide personal protection for important occasions. If you need to go out for protection... you must consult with Team Leader Li Ran half a day in advance. Security work is very important. During prime time... there can't be any vacancies."
Jin Zhouqin nodded: "Okay, I understand and of course I will cooperate." He then smiled slyly: "Boss, I didn't expect such a great treasure to be stolen from your place. Treasure hunters believe that our antiques are great treasures, and today's business has doubled. I really want to thank you." He stood up and bowed deeply.
This scared Chen Di and Hai Hua: "Old Jin, don't do this."
Jin Zhouqin shook his head excitedly: "Boss, I'll let Li Liqin help out here for three days. This place will definitely be better in the future."
Adults' thoughts are all unspoken. Silence is the greatest echo.
Chen Di looked at Li Liqin, who nodded quickly and smartly: "I do." Jin Zhouqin said a few more words to encourage him, and then went back to guard Huaxiang Antique Shop.
Everyone took action immediately and prepared to meet new challenges and opportunities.
Everyone worked together, some prepared special materials, some debugged the firing equipment, and Li Liqin carefully guided every step.
After a while, everything was ready. Li Liqin personally put the ceramic body into the kiln and set the temperature and time according to the new method.
While waiting for firing, everyone was nervous and expectant, with their eyes fixed on the kiln.
Finally, the time came. Li Liqin carefully opened the kiln door, and a piece of exquisite ceramics appeared before everyone's eyes.
Its color is as bright as a gem and its texture is as delicate as mutton fat. Everyone couldn't help but cheer.
Chen Di said excitedly: "That's great! This success means that the quality of our ceramics will be greatly improved!"
Haihua smiled and said: "Professional knowledge still needs to be explained by experts to fully demonstrate the cultural heritage of our ceramics." "Liqin, you are really excellent, very amazing..."
Li Liqin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said modestly: "This is just the beginning. We can continue to optimize and improve it."
He turned to Wang Xiaoshan and said, "Xiaoshan, don't worry, I will teach you until you learn it. Tomorrow I will get some paint and teach you how to make patterns." He patted his shoulder and comforted him, "We mainly show customers the process from a lump of mud to a finished product, and we also guide them to buy our antiques. We are not really dedicated to making ceramics."
Wang Xiaoshan nodded; "Brother Wen, I understand, I will definitely learn from you."
Everyone looked to the future with confidence, as if they could see the antique shop's business booming.
