Anyone who has seen the mats of this era knows that these bamboo strips are not like decades later, they are all straight and straight glued and sewn, or weaved, but obliquely staggered weaving, plus the number is large, dense, and it is difficult to distinguish.

A novice like Wu Yingcheng can only use his finger to find the leader on the edge little by little, and then mark the mark, while the master who can read can accurately find the leader with just one glance.

Wu Yingcheng first looked at this point when he was assessing, and sure enough, Zhao Haifa was this kind of character who touched his head along the vine, although the speed was okay, but Wu Yingcheng still crossed out after his name.

The second item is to dismantle the strip, that is, to take the unqualified bamboo strip off the mat, which is a test of weaving technology, because the edge of this mat is all reverse lace, one is staggered, it is troublesome to fold, and it is even more troublesome to put it back.

If you want to do it quickly and well, you must first have a suitable card knife, this kind of knife has a bit like the handle of a small spoon, and the front is a flat head, very long and thin, but there is no knife edge like a kitchen knife, generally one end is thick and one is thin, and it is used to weave different mats.

There is only a short handle in the middle of this kind of thing, which is very difficult to make, Wu Yingcheng was injured by this thing when he tried to weave mats in his last life, and since then, he has lost his last interest in playing mats.

And the master will make a sleeve for this thing, and put it on the side that is not used, which is not harmful to the hands and easy to use, which is the second place that Wu Yingcheng paid attention to.

This mistake is easy to make, there are two at once, although the speed is not bad, but look at it, sooner or later they will cut their hands, Wu Yingcheng doesn't know if when they cut their hands, whether they are considered work-related injuries or deserved, and directly crossed a cross.

The last one is to put it back on, and that's where the technology really comes in, first of all, you have to flower the existing bamboo strip to about the same width as the removed bamboo strip, and then you have to put it back together through the existing bamboo strip one by one.

In order to do one, some people use a card knife to press and pick, some people use hooks to hook, and some people use thin lines to pull, but the best way is still the kind of old man Chen, while it has not been taken out, the bamboo strip is done, and then retreat into a grid, and drill along the seams.

Among the remaining three people, there is such a person, Jiang Dacheng, the leader of the six, who is also the first person to finish, and although the remaining two are a little slower, they are almost within the standard time.

This result made Wu Yingcheng a little overjoyed, and finally knew what it meant to have no gold and steel diamonds, no porcelain work, in this era, craftsmen still have their bottom limit after all, there are not a few brushes, and there are not a few people to mess around.

But this comparison does not mean that they are qualified, and there is one last item, that is, a simple character test, not to say that it is 100 obedient, but at least you must be patient and don't cause trouble, otherwise thirty or forty mats a day, he will not do it if he is annoyed, and he will beat and scold people, Wu Yingcheng is too lazy to parry.

The method of the test is very simple, don't ask or write, let the qualified three people each carry a mat to the second floor to put it, no one showed anything cool at this point, I heard that I passed the first level, looked at the three people who were brushed down, and they all happily carried the mat up, and then ran down quickly, just waiting for Wu Yingcheng to speak, saying that they were hired.

Wu Yingcheng scratched his head and said with some underwhelming: "I'm sorry, I remembered wrong, these mats should be placed on the first floor." ”

At this moment, some people began to be unhappy, and the most obvious manifestation was Jiang Dacheng, only another little man, Song Wei, smiled and said that it was okay.

But after all, the three of them came to apply, and it was impossible to give the boss a hair because of a trivial matter, and they all went, and when Wu Yingcheng asked the three of them to move the mat upstairs again, Jiang Dacheng began to go crazy and said, "Boss Wu, are you here to let us work, or are you teasing us?"

Wu Yingcheng was not angry, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, I invited you to come, of course I asked you to work." ”

When Jiang Dacheng heard this, he was even more unhappy, and said, "Then is your work here like this, going up and down the ground, carrying mats and tossing people?"

Wu Yingcheng was also a little unhappy, "Yes, what I asked you to do just now is one of my jobs here, and the salary is not low, ten yuan a day, and one yuan of water money when it is hot, on average, it is higher than your salary."

But some of them run back and forth in a day, dozens or hundreds of times as many times as you just now, and some of them are so tired that they can't even walk, but none of them have ever asked me like you.

This is the biggest standard for my employment, if you want to make my money, you have to listen to me, if you don't listen to me, don't try to make my money, if one of the three of you can't do it, you can leave immediately. ”

Jiang Dacheng was embarrassed, snorted coldly, and said: "There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master, Lao Tzu Jiang Dacheng has good skills, he can't starve to death anywhere, that stupid fork is here to suffer your bird anger?"

After Jiang Dacheng finished speaking, he looked at the others and said, "Let's go, brothers, let's also go to a workshop with this kind of living way, I don't believe that some people who think they are the best in the world will not die." ”

A few people listened, you look at me, I look at you, the three eliminated people immediately spit out a mouthful of saliva, and stood with Jiang Dacheng, the remaining two looked at each other, the high one left, and only Song Wei remained.

Wu Yingcheng looked at the backs of the five people who were far away, and didn't say anything, just said to Song Wei: "Brother Song, I'm very happy that you can stay, you will be the leader of the third group in the future, in addition to the money you earn, I will add another piece to you, but in addition to your own work, you also have to watch the work of the other nine people in your hands, make a mistake, and deduct a dime." ”

Song Wei summed it up in his heart, others are still young, and their hands and feet are fast, they can reprocess a second-level mat a day, that is three pieces, if they manage the people in their hands well and let them not make mistakes, it will be four pieces a day.

In this case, it is one hundred and two a month, and even Mayor Chen's salary is only this amount, I didn't expect that I could also enjoy this kind of treatment, hehe smiled, and hurriedly responded.

Wu Yingcheng also smiled slightly, and inevitably said a few words of encouragement that he would definitely be able to make a fortune in the future, but he didn't think that Jiang Dacheng would not be able to make a fortune in the future, and even thought that Jiang Dacheng would make more money, but he knew that this kind of anger could not stand people at all, and the road to go would definitely be difficult and long.

This kind of selection method is already harsh in this era, Wu Yingcheng and Tang Ershan were busy until noon, four or five hours, hundreds of people came to apply, plus Song Wei, Wu Yingcheng also selected ten people to come out, the real one out of ten.

In the afternoon, the people who came were people from more remote villages, they didn't have so many ways to live, they didn't have so many ideas, and they regarded every bamboo stick as a treasure, which made their craftsmanship more exquisite.

It is precisely because of this that when their mats are rated as poor because of poor and bad grades, most of them will go back to rework by themselves, with enough experience and good patience, except for no culture, there is basically no big problem, and many more people are elected, a total of 20 people are selected.

The next day, ten more people were selected, adding up to a total of sixty people, Wu Yingcheng set the start date for five days later, and went to Zhang Luo's dormitory for the bed, the master who cooked, and the set of things in the kitchen.

I also have to divide the land for the masters, put the shelves of mats, set up lights, etc., and I am busy until dark every day before I come back, and I have to clear the accounts and settle the accounts when I am done, and there are not too many things.

At the same time, in order to prevent the embarrassing situation of people coming but no work to do, Wu Yingcheng has already asked the four points to start buying second- and third-level mats, and mats are sent almost every day.

God rewards hard work, and I should be successful.

If you want to harvest, you have to pay, you have nothing to complain about, envy and jealousy, it is better to work hard yourself, and Wu Yingcheng is the one who works hard and pays hard, so he will definitely gain something.

After five days, everything was finally ready.

On the second floor are six dormitories back-to-back, three on the first floor, each with five bunk beds, a group of ten people, and a cafeteria on the first floor, where Wu Yingcheng spent money to build a toilet on the opposite farmland.

Several hard-working peasant uncles almost broke their heads in order to compete for the upcoming farm fertilizer, which solved a big problem for Wu Yingcheng.

That night, Wu Yingcheng didn't sleep after finishing his busy work early, so he and Tang Ershan stood in the cement dam behind, looked at the place where sixty people ate and lived, and asked like a child: "Tang Ershan, you said that these masters will come tomorrow, can you be satisfied?"

This is not Wu Yingcheng pretending to be forced, but the real worry, although he has done his best, but this small workshop and the real factory, there is still a big difference, the place is a little big, life, entertainment will definitely be lacking.

In this era, it is still an extraordinary period of economic relaxation and high political tension, and fierce conflicts between the old and new consciousnesses like Chen Daiquan and Zhao Kan occur every day in the small towns and towns of Longguo.

He was able to open such a workshop, which was already brought down by Zhao Kan under pressure, not to mention starting a factory, which simply forced Zhao Kan to death.

Thinking of this, Wu Yingcheng really hoped that 1984 would come earlier, and that great old man would say the earth-shattering words earlier: "If you want to make Long rich, you must let some people get rich first." ”

"Brother Wu, they will definitely be satisfied. ”

Tang Ershan didn't know this, he didn't think about it so much, he only knew that Wu Yingcheng would definitely be a good boss and a person worth following for the rest of his life, which was like a piece of ferrochrome in his young heart, and chrome had an indelible chrome mark, and it also created a different life for him in the future.
