In the Beining workshop, Li Si, the youngest son of Blacksmith Li, threw a finished part into the parts pile with a "dang long", wiped his sweat, and leaned over to his third brother and muttered: "I have never seen such a thing." Don't tell us what to do, just give us a picture and let us follow it. We don't know the bottom of our hearts, how can we do good things like this. ”

His mouth turned to the next door again: "And send a wicked woman to supervise us." It's really unpleasant to do this......"

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by Blacksmith Li.

"What nonsense? If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will report to Steward Zhou and ask him to kick you out of the workshop? ”

"Hey, Dad, I'll just talk about it, talk about it." Li Si hurriedly smiled at his father.

Just kidding, working here pays a lot more than working outside, and you don't have to deal with customers and don't have to worry about bad business. There is also a time to do work every day. Although there is no space to spare, it is not tired. There is also a day off every ten years, which is much better than opening their own blacksmith shop. You must know that the blacksmith shop is open all year round. Sometimes guests are in a hurry, and it is common to stay up late to do things.

In addition to being more strict here, if you don't meet the standards, you will be told by the woman surnamed Feng, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

On the day they came, Yang Daxing's steward read to them what "rules and regulations", as long as they did not violate the rules of the workshop, they could exceed the task while ensuring the quality, and there were rewards ranging from one or two to three taels every month.

Of course, if there are too many unqualified parts, you will also be deducted wages.

Thinking like this, Li Si quickly stood up and continued to work.

Blacksmith Li looked around the room and found that everyone was working hard, and no one should have heard what Li Si said just now, so he was relieved.

After dinner in the evening, he called all four sons to his house and said solemnly: "Today's fourth child's words, no one can say them again in the future." If anyone in the workshop talks about it, you can go over it. ”

"What did the fourth say?" Neither Boss Li nor Elder Li knew what was going on.

Seeing that his father and third brother didn't help him speak, Li Laosi had to repeat what he said in the afternoon.

He also defended himself: "It was meant to be. In the past, no matter what we did, we knew it before we first cast. What comes out of this way can be guaranteed to be good. But now the owner doesn't tell us anything, just throws a picture over, and just asks us to do it like that. How can this work? What if it's out of shape? ”

"Didn't someone check it out for us?" Li Lao Er said.

"Check that is an afterthought. What's the use of saying that it's unqualified afterwards? Wouldn't it be better to make it clear beforehand? Li Laosi retorted.

Everyone actually knows why Li Laosi has such an opinion on this point.

Among the five fathers and sons, the fourth is the most talented blacksmith, and in his more than ten years of blacksmith career, he has repeatedly praised the things he has made. Some customers came to the store to order swords, and they all named Lao Si to do it.

Because of this, Li Laosi was a little floating, and after entering the workshop, he didn't take the size on the drawing seriously. He felt that with his own level, he would know what to do at a glance.

But when he made it, as soon as Feng checked it, he said that what he did was a waste product and asked him to correct it. Li Laosi was not convinced, and after doing it again, he was judged to be unqualified. The fourth child had a bad temper, and although the newcomer didn't dare to quarrel with Feng, he also choked her several times.

Fortunately, Feng didn't bother with him, and he didn't sue afterwards. It's just that when it should be judged unqualified, it will still be judged unqualified.

Therefore, although Li Laosi is the most talented and skilled among the five of their father and son, he has now become the person with the most waste, no wonder he is uncomfortable in his heart.

Blacksmith Li took out his pipe from his mouth, knocked it on the ground, and said to Li Laosi: "Okay, I called you here just to talk about things." ”

Everyone quieted down and looked at Daddy.

Blacksmith Li raised his head and looked at Li Si, his face full of seriousness: "Fourth, you have been making trouble for so long, haven't you thought about why the owner only gives the size and doesn't let us know what to do?" ”

Li Laosi was stunned and didn't speak for a while.

Blacksmith Li was full of disappointment: "Originally, you are highly talented, and my expectations for you are quite high, and I hope that there will be a famous blacksmith in the family." But now......" he shook his head and said no more.

Li Laosi was not convinced: "What's the matter now?" I'm also the best one in the family to make iron tools, right? ”

"What's the use of that? Don't use your brain when you get into trouble. "Blacksmith Li hates that iron does not become steel," you think about it, think about it carefully, and see if you can figure it out. ”

At this time, not only Li Laosi, but also the other three brothers also thought about it.

They have never studied, and they have helped the family to work with iron since they could hold a hammer, and they basically belong to the category of simple-minded and well-developed limbs. Usually I think about how to beat the iron tool better, and I don't think about it at all.

Li Laosi just didn't think about it. When he thinks about it, he is more agile than his brothers.

He looked at his father and said, "Is she going to make something new?" ”

Blacksmith Li was very pleased.

He nodded, "Exactly." So she only gives the size, and doesn't let us know what to do, what I'm afraid of is that some people forget their righteousness and secretly sell these things to others for profit. And the owner gave us such a good salary, what he wanted was to keep his mouth shut. ”

He pointed at Li Laosi: "So don't let me hear you complain about the owner again." In the future, if someone divulges a secret, you may be the first to be suspected. Who told you to complain and be dissatisfied with your boss and the people she sent to oversee us? ”

Li Laosi pursed his lips tightly and did not make a sound.

After a while, he hummed and said, "I know." ”

……

In the afternoon of this day, when Zhao Ruxi finished the training class and was going back to the Green Banana Courtyard to rest, Zhou Chun came in with a food box in time and took out the snacks inside and put them in front of Zhao Ruxi.

"Girl, you can taste these snacks."

He was entrusted by a lot of money, and he was instructed by Zhao Ruxi to buy a cook to make snacks and consume the grain in the warehouse in Zhuangzi, so he has been talking about this matter during this time.

He did not place the cook in the Zhuangzi, but in a courtyard with a small kitchen in the workshop next door. In this way, when Zhao Ruxi is resting, a hot snack is sent for her to taste for sure.

Originally, as the chief housekeeper, he didn't need to do this kind of specific thing, just explain it to the people below.

But all three workshops were operating normally, and even minor problems were dealt with by the workshop stewards. Zhou Chun felt that this snack was a big deal, so he put more of his mind on it.
