The prescription that Li Fu prescribed to Hong Yanwu was really right.

The master of the "Maoshun Depot" he knew was surnamed Sun, called Sun Shiying.

He is 61 years old this year, from an apprentice at the age of 14 to a teacher, and has worked in the "Maoshun Depot" for 20 years.

This person is specifically doing copper work, and the master who taught him the craft back then was still the master of "Yongcheng" in Andingmen before.

You must know that the copper work in the capital is a branch of metalworking art, which is quite famous in history.

In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the coppersmiths in the capital had two of the most revealing words.

One is the Tai Reclining Buddha of the Jingxi Reclining Buddha Temple, and the other is the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, these two things, "Yongcheng", which was founded in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, did not catch up.

But "Yongcheng" is not bad.

This "copper work" run by Shanxi people is dedicated to the work in the palace.

Like the bronze gate lion of the modern Forbidden City and the bronze pavilion of the Baoyun Pavilion in the Summer Palace, all have the full participation of "Yongcheng".

Therefore, Master Sun can also be regarded as a teacher of a famous family,

Whether it is the two "skills" of casting and making, or the techniques of inlay, welding, gilding, chisel carving, filigree, coloring, and polishing, he has learned a high level of bronze works in Beijing.

After the liberation, because of his excellent craftsmanship, Master Sun was one of the few craftsmen who was directly selected from the car factory to enter the "metal craft factory".

He himself was fortunate to participate in the creation of the military emblem on the roof of the Military Museum, one of the "top ten buildings" in the capital in the 50s.

This was a feat of the time.

Because don't look at the military emblem from the ground, it's not big, but if you "move" that thing down, it's too big.

In fact, the size of this military emblem plus socket is eight meters high and six meters in diameter.

The whole is made of copper plates four millimeters thick, which are made in sections.

There are many grains of wheat and wheat mangs on the military insignia, which have to be hammered little by little by coppersmiths with hammers and steel chisels, and then gilded and assembled on iron frames.

Master Sun and dozens of craftsmen in total, with dozens of hands, made the military emblem so meticulous that it looked like a relief.

This is one of the best in the world.

Come to think of it, at this level, it's okay for Master Sun to pick up the little work of the car factory back then.

It's similar to a celebrity chef who wants to make two small cold dishes to serve with wine.

And you also have to know that Master Sun, who was awarded the "Municipal Model Worker" for this reason, is a seventh-level craftsman, and his life after retirement is really not rich.

For example, when he saw Li Fu, the two brothers naturally had to drink two cups together.

But he can only afford a bowl of sesame noodles, plus four taels of loose white "Mao San'er", with a cut salted duck egg.

Even the cottage in his house was dark.

The most valuable belongings, in addition to an old-fashioned chatterbox, is a black-and-white TV.

Again, raising a child is a lot.

Rao is old man can earn more than 100 when he goes to work, but several mouths of the children make him poor, and he hasn't saved money for so many years.

It's the same with retirement.

The salary has become 70 percent, and although the children have all started a family, they still have to pay compensation to their grandchildren and granddaughters, and they can't favor one over the other.

That is to say, the craftsmen who do this business have good muscles and bones, and the old man's body is quite tough.

Otherwise, Master Sun's health will be a little problematic, and this day will be even more difficult.

Then you might as well think about it again, with such a family background, listening to Li Fu and Hong Yanwu say that they are willing to pay 600 yuan to buy such a car, what kind of heart is Master Sun?

It must be that the master is happy.

He took Hong Yanwu's money, and that night he rushed to Zhang Luo's hands.

As a result, it only took three days to get a car out.

It's really good to say that the work is done.

The car was too exquisite, too exquisite, and it didn't take away anything from what Li Fu described at the beginning.

As soon as Hong Yanwu saw the appearance of the car, his eyes immediately couldn't move.

And when he experienced it first-hand and let Chen Liquan pedal the car and pull him around for a short time, he was even more excited.

Because the phrase "fart, fart" is too vivid.

At the bottom of the front door building, others leaned back on the car, moving forward smoothly like a smoke.

A canopy, to cover the old sun, and then blown by the small wind, looking at the prosperous street scene, the taste is beautiful.

This way, I have earned enough heads.

Not only do foreigners "click" to take pictures when they meet them, but even many people think that this is a prop for making movies.

People always come over to talk and ask them which film studio they belong to and what movie they want to make in a while.

Hey, that's proof of the appeal of tricycles.

So after returning from the test drive, Hong Yanwu immediately decided not to make twenty cars.

He shall add twenty chariots, and make forty chariots for twenty-four thousand.

Not for anything else, he mainly considered that veteran craftsmen like Master Sun were all old.

If he can't do it one day, or doesn't want to do it, where else can he find such a good craft?

To put it bluntly, there may not be this shop after this village.

If you want to avoid being blind in the future, then you need to make a few more cars now, in case you need them.

As for the car, it's okay if you can't use it for a while.

If something goes wrong with one of the cars, wouldn't it be better to have a replacement?

What's more, he still wants to put two cars in the old house, and he can take his parents, wife and children to the street if he has nothing to do.

But on the contrary, Master Sun was undoubtedly frightened by this formation.

Listening to Hong Yanwu's report of the number he wanted, his jaw almost fell to the ground.

Because the master always thought that he was going to get a car to play around.

I didn't expect him to make such a big move.

Later, after Li Fuyi's explanation, Master Sun really understood Hong Yanwu's plan.

It's just that in this way, the master can't help but sigh again.

He said that things in the world were interesting, and he turned around and came back again.

I really didn't expect that the car factories have been closed down for decades, and today I actually see the owner of the factory to buy so many cars and drive the factory.

Hong Yanwu was happy when he heard this.

hurriedly explained, saying that he didn't want to learn from Liu Siye, who drove a "people and car factory" to suck the blood of the poor in "Camel Xiangzi".

The business he wants to do is to be truly "human", and the purpose is to let our own people live a good life.

Even if the foreign devil is slaughtered, let him pay obediently, he still has to praise our car for being good, that's it.

This is quite atmospheric, and it also reveals benevolence and righteousness.

Master Sun was happy to hear this, so he patted his chest as well.

"Well, I'll just say this to you, I promise to be more careful in this work, and make every car beautiful for you. I also hope that you can really earn foreign exchange from foreigners and fulfill this wish. ”

followed by an additional reminder of Hong Yanwu.

"Oh, yes, lad. It's not enough for you to just spend money to build cars, it's better to get a house and place these cars well. Because only when it is centralized, can it be uniformly deployed and convenient for repair and use. Otherwise, if it is not well maintained, it will not be worth ruining your car. ”

There must be some truth to that.

In fact, Hong Yanwu had already thought of the place where these cars needed to be stored.

A few days ago, he spent a lot of money in Guangming Hutong between Xi'anmen Street and Fuyou Street to buy a small courtyard with two entrances, and he was going to do this.

However, it has to be said that if he really opened a car factory, he really has no experience in other repair and maintenance problems.

Since he heard Master Sun mention it at this time, he felt that the master was quite temperamental.

decided to do nothing, and simply handed over the car building and maintenance to Master Sun to be responsible.

He proposed, saying that Master Sun and they would make a car in the small courtyard he bought.

After building the car, he is willing to spend another 50 yuan per person per month to hire Master Sun to help manage and maintain the vehicle for a long time.

If you have something to do, you can rest if you don't have anything to do, as long as you don't delay getting out of the car.

The people on duty can also come in a different way, and everyone doesn't have to go every day.

Of course, this is a big pie that has fallen from the world, and Master Sun never thought that there would be this luck.

He and his old brothers can still make such a light and well-paid long-term errand here in Hong Yanwu.

So he even claimed to thank him, left Hong Yanwu and a few of them alive and dead, and entertained them once after killing chickens and buying wine.

And just like that, everyone rejoiced.

Where the car factory is set up, manpower, and even logistics and maintenance are all solved.

And I have to say that Hong Yanwu's final decision is extremely wise, whether it is to build a car or maintain it, please invite a real expert.

He spent these few dollars on the masters, and he was not wronged at all.

Because Master Sun's gang of old brothers not only know how to build and repair, but they also know the rules of the industry.

When they really waited for them to work in the small courtyard, they would mention Hong Yanwu from time to time and talk about a lot of tricks in this industry.

For example, they watched Hong Yanwu's people get into the car awkwardly.

He took the initiative to remind the tricycle driver that he had to lift his feet from the front when he got on and off the car, regardless of whether there was anyone in the back seat.

Some people do it to prevent their feet from touching customers, and when no one is around, it is also to form a habit.

For another example, they also took the initiative to inform that some guests were older or fatter, and when they got out of the car, they would be easily injured by external forces.

Therefore, the coachman should never carry a guest down with his hands.

Be sure to bend your arms and use your upper arms to give the guests a hand, so that the guests can get off the bus with their arms.

Also, they said, in the past, every driver would have had two things.

One is a towel, which wipes your own sweat.

The second is to whisk the dust and pat the back seat.

In addition, even if the driver is resting, he cannot sit directly in the back seat, but can only sit on the left board, which is the place where the customer steps when he gets on the bus.

This is both for the sake of aesthetics and appearance, but also for the sake of respecting the guests.

Not to mention anything else, in the case of a hot day, some guests are reluctant to sit when they see a sweaty driver sitting in the back seat.

In short, these good suggestions with practical significance are by no means something that a layman can understand or notice, and they really allow Hong Yanwu to avoid a lot of mistakes that are likely to be made.

What is knowledge, this is, and practical!

Don't underestimate this, think these rules are cumbersome.

Like today, many tricycle masters sit in the back seat.

Some are still lying down, putting their feet on the seats in front of them, looking at their phones.

Some have crossed their legs. There are also masters who sit directly on the tube in front.

This is really not exquisite, and it is awkward just to look at.

It is entirely conceivable that such a car will "drive away" the guests who originally wanted to take the car?

Or will the price they quote make people feel too "black" because of this?

This is probably called a lack of service awareness.

In fact, just from the words of these masters, we can find that the sentence "details determine success or failure", we understand the degree of understanding much earlier than foreigners, and it is more refined.

It is a pity that since the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution, the earth-shaking historical turmoil and the extreme values that have completely attributed traditional culture to feudal dross have led to the disconnection of the experience and knowledge of the predecessors.

It is so that today's young people have to relearn all this, and they regard foreigners as teachers.
