Listening to Lin Taohua say that he had some ideas, Ju Fanyi was still a little strange, thinking to himself, this lady just glanced at a few glances and what ideas he could have, in line with the concept that the visitor was a guest, he said very politely: "Madame has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Lin Taohua glanced at Zhou Ming and whispered, "Xianggong, then I'll talk about it." ”

Zhou Ming was speechless, he told others that he had an idea, and now he came to ask him what he was doing? smiled: "Lady, please." ”

Lin Taohua saw that he had no opinion, so he said to Ju Fanyi: "I see that every craftsman is followed by a junior apprentice, may I ask the owner of the house, are these apprentices collected by the craftsman himself, or are they matched by the owner?" ”

Ju Fanyi didn't know what her intentions were, and replied: "Oh, it's prepared by this workshop, first, to let them learn some crafts, and secondly, to give a hand to the craftsman." ”

Lin Taohua asked again: "Do the craftsmen really teach them the craft?" ”

Ju Fan smiled lightly: "This depends on the individual, the clever and sweet mouth can achieve something, and most of them are just starting out." If there is really an apprentice who can come out of the master, the workshop will increase the master's salary by 20%, which is regarded as the reward given by the workshop. It is normal for craftsmen to have reservations. ”

Lin Taohua said that she understood, glanced at the studios with closed doors in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "I guess nine times out of ten, these apprentices will not be able to leave the school." Hehe, inviting so many apprentices does not produce great value, and the burden on the woodmill is greater than the value. I think it is better for the owner to produce some ordinary carpentry work assembly line, the process is simple and the apprentice can do it, and the fine products are handed over to the master to complete. In this way, the master can be freed from some low-end work and concentrate on high-end work, while the apprentice can hone his craft from low-end work, which will generate higher value and facilitate the selection of talents for the woodmill. ”

Ju Fan didn't seem to understand when he heard it, so he asked: "What is assembly line production?" ”

Lin Taohua said: "Assembly line production is to split the parts, complete them by different people, and then finally assemble them. For example, my gift box can let some people specialize in making box surfaces, some people specialize in lotus petals, the pattern is carved by a special person, the paint is responsible for brushing, and the last part is responsible for assembling into a finished product. In this way, what each apprentice needs to learn is changed from a whole to a component, the learning time is greatly reduced, the speed is increased, and the output is also increased. The masters can completely get rid of this ordinary thing of low value and concentrate on the study of fine products, which is the bulk of the financial resources of the wood mill. ”

Ju Fan thought about it for a while, and also thought of the benefits of assembly operations. This kind of assembly work is fast, and if you let the apprentices take turns to learn, you may be able to find some talents. It's just that in this way, it is bound to reduce the number of assistants assigned to the masters, and with the specialization of high-end products, the competition between the masters will also increase, and the masters who are used to being pampered are estimated to cause chaos.

Lin Taohua observed the face of Xia Ju Fanyi, and then said: "As far as I know, the annual demand for high-end wood in Qiongya County is not particularly much, and the demand for high-quality products is even less. ”

"The top master is the treasure of the woodmill, which can greatly increase the salary, give status, and make them willing to stay in the woodmill, and the craftsmanship is not up and down the merit, and the salary is three or six points, and those who are willing to do it stay, and those who are not willing to do it have to go all over, this kind of person can still be found in the world."

"In short, the goal is to retain talents, train basic carpentry, and then make the high-end product refined, the mid-end stronger, and the low-end bigger. Hehe, so I don't have to worry about the silver not coming. ”

Ju Fanyi listened while crackling the little abacus in his heart, carefully weighing the pros and cons, and didn't answer Lin Taohua for a while.

Lin Taohua didn't care, and said with a smile: "Of course, these are all things I said casually, and I don't know much about the operation of the wood market, if it's not right, don't laugh at me." ”

Ju Fanyi was immersed in his own world, and he didn't hear what Lin Taohua said at all.

"Hehe, Xianggong, I see that the owner can't take care of us for a while, anyway, I also saw the gift box, let's go back first." Lin Taohua shook her head and smiled.

Zhou Ming didn't bother Ju Fanyi, and hugged Lin Taohua out of the woodworking workshop. By the time Ju Fan came back to his senses, the two had long since disappeared.

The weather was not ordinarily cold, and when Lin Taohua went out, she shrank her neck and squeezed to Zhou Ming's side. Zhou Ming felt pity in his heart, so he lifted his cloak and pulled her into his cloak.

"No need, this is going to freeze you again." Lin Taohua hurriedly stopped him.

Zhou Ming was accustomed to the unfamiliar words that came out of her from time to time, so he only smiled and said: "I am frost-resistant, it doesn't matter, seeing that you are cold like this, if you don't wrap up, you will catch a cold." ”

Lin Taohua heard the word cold from Zhou Ming's mouth and felt very funny, and she giggled for a while, Zhou Ming stopped helplessly, touched her face and said, "Don't laugh, it's even colder when the cold wind is poured in." ”

Lin Taohua stopped laughing, raised her head and said, "Xianggong, my feet are very cold, let's run." ”

Zhou Ming felt that running wild on the street was really not very elegant, so he said: "If your feet are cold, I will carry you." ”

Lin Taohua felt that it was cold when she walked, and she was afraid that it would be even colder if she lay on his back and did not move, so she ran away without discussion, and turned around and shouted as she ran: "Brother Ming, come quickly." ”

Zhou Ming sighed, and could only give up his face to accompany her crazy.

There are a lot of New Year's goods on the cold street, and many people are hurrying from store to store. A burst of silver bell-like laughter came, and everyone turned around, only to see a delicate woman in a fox fur running happily in front of them, everyone looked at each other and didn't know why, just when it was strange, there was a handsome little brother who chased the woman with a helpless face.

"Isn't that the proprietor of Wuwei Zhai? Could it be Mrs. Zhou in front? What do they run? "There is a strange question from someone who knows Zhou Ming.

"It is said that the owner of Wuwei Zhai spoils his wife excessively, but I didn't expect it to be true. Hehe, running through the street like this, he really put down his body and changed his wife and smiled. An Bingkui, the owner of Anlan Liquor Shop, stood in front of the shop and said with a smile.

"Hmph, what kind of system does it disregard etiquette become!" In addition to the good-natured jokes, there are naturally some who are not used to it.

"Hehe, it's not Mr. Your son and daughter-in-law, why be angry." An Bingkui said to an old man dressed as a pedant.

"Hmph, the world is going down, and these women are connived at by you people." The old pedant said something with a straight face, and walked away angrily.

The proprietress of the wine shop came out and said unhappily: "It's old-fashioned, and the tube is wide." ”

An Bingkui smiled and said: "What is the lady angry with him, for the sake of him often buying wine, you don't have to deal with him." ”

His lady chirped: "I usually think you are indulgent when I come to buy wine, but now I am in charge of Mrs. Zhou, hum, it is annoying to look at him." ”

An Bingkui laughed, approached the woman and said, "I spoil you left and right, don't talk about him for the sake of the silver." ”

The woman slapped the man and said, "Master, have you prepared the wine for me?" Sister Li said that she would go to Wuwei Zhai today to send a prayer post, and I would probably use it the day after tomorrow. ”

An Bingkui smiled: "Don't worry, I've prepared it for you." The lady went to get to know Mrs. Zhou and asked her to send me some braised pork to taste. I queued up several times and didn't get it, and I was itching in my heart. ”

The woman laughed and scolded, "Look at your little bit of interest." Oh, wait, I'll get you some to get you back to satisfy your hunger. ”

An Bingkui's eyes lit up, "Then I'll be fine." ”

The woman laughed and turned back to the backyard.

Lin Taohua ran all the way back to Wuwei Zhai, panting straight away, and her face was red and seductive.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yi was about to send the newly braised pig's trotters to the front, and when he saw Lin Taohua rushing in, he hurriedly asked.

Lin Taohua ran out of breath, so she could still answer her, bending over and holding her knees just panting.

"Madame is fine, you are busy with yours." Zhou Ming, who walked in, waved his hand and let Chu Yi go.

Lin Taohua turned her head and saw Zhou Ming, whose face was also red, and laughed.

Zhou Ming stepped forward and hugged her, and said with a straight face: "Still laughing, I have lost all my face along the way." ”

Lin Taohua nestled in his arms, his fingers drew circles on his chest, and he was coquettish: "But I'm happy." ”

Zhou Ming couldn't help her, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, and after kissing her, she couldn't breathe and began to struggle, so he let her go faintly.

Lin Taohua glared at him, and just as he wanted to teach him a few words, he saw Zhang Biao who hurriedly walked out of the corner of his eye. Her face was hot at this embarrassment, and she kicked Zhou Ming directly.

"Look at the good things you have done, you go to Brother Zhang yourself and ask what is the matter." After saying that, he opened the curtain and entered the house.

Zhou Ming also saw Zhang Biao's figure, smiled, resigned himself to Zhang Biao, and when he came back, he brought Lin Taohua a message from Mrs. Lin in Li Changfeng's mansion.
