At eight o'clock the next morning, Li Shun came to the advertising store after breakfast and stood outside the door to look at the signboard.

The iron shelves have been installed, and Zhou Xiang, Hanok, and Li Xiaochuan are packing the wooden boards.

"Have you eaten?" Li Shun asked.

"I've eaten it, fried dough tofu brain." Zhou Xiang replied.

The other two greeted each other, and Li Shun nodded and walked into the store.

They are now regular employees of the advertising shop, with a monthly salary of 200 yuan, which is 50 yuan more than the average salary in Lan County.

The salary is not low, one is because the advertising industry is too dangerous, and it is basically high-altitude work.

The second is that I am too hard and tired, I am too hard to weld under the scorching sun and stand on the scaffold to do carpentry.

Danger plus hard work, there are no Sundays and holidays, leave has to be deducted, and it is unreasonable not to pay a high salary.

Li Shun came to the second floor, and Qiu Wendong had already installed a vacuum pump and fused hydrogen and mercury vapor.

"Brother Qiu, did Xiaoyu take you to dinner?" Li Shun asked.

"Eat." Qiu Wendong continued to work without raising his head, using a spray gun to weld inflatable glass pipes.

"Brother Shun, the mutton soup we drank." Li Mingyu was doing chores for Qiu Wendong on the side.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the lampstand was welded, Qiu Wendong tested it, and said goodbye to Li Shun.

Li Shun sent him downstairs, the two shook hands cordially, Qiu Wendong said:

"Brother Li, call me next time you want goods. I'll drive if there's a lot of goods, and I'll put it on the bus for you if there's a lot of goods. ”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Qiu." Li Shun took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qiu Wendong:

"Fill up the car, and I won't have to trouble you in the future."

"Boss Li, don't be polite to me!" Qiu Wendong returned the money to Li Shun, waved his hand and said:

"I owe you a favor for Huixiang, I said that I would give you a melting lampstand for free, so I had to do it without a penny."

Qiu Wendong said yes, and Li Shun no longer insisted, opened the trunk of the motorcycle, took two bottles of Du Kang's old wine and put them in the truck.

Sending Qiu Wendong away, Li Shun went up to the second floor with the words, ready to make neon signs on billboards.

The name of the store is Lanxian Li Han Advertising Media, eight titanium characters.

The following is titanium small print, mainly engaged in metal words, neon lights, banner pennants, seal engraving and other businesses.

Li Shun placed a large piece of paper on the lampstand, and wrote the word "Lan" on the paper with a ballpoint pen.

The first step in making a neon sign is to fire and bend the glass tube according to the outline of the font.

"The first step is the formation of the lamp, Xiaoyu, you are optimistic."

"Huh? Okay, good! Li Mingyu was very excited, rubbing his hands excitedly, Brother Shun wanted to teach him skills.

Li Shun took a glass tube and plugged one end with a rubber sleeve.

The other end is covered with a rubber tube, which is held in the mouth, and when bending, you need to blow air into the lamp.

Hold the lamp in both hands, draw on the lettering, and mark the bend with chalk.

Remember the arc of the bend, light the spray gun with a lighter, and press the switch with your right foot to supply the liquefied gas.

A roaring fire came out of the spray gun, and Li Shun used the flame to barbecue the lamp back and forth.

The glass will soften when heated, and when it softens to a certain extent, bend it with both hands.

At this time, blow air into the lamp, and the glass around the corner will flatten, and you have to blow it up.

Li Mingyu was dumbfounded, and the straight glass tubes were folded into arc words by Li Shun.

After the neon sign of the blue character was done, Li Shun wiped the sweat on his head:

"Take your clothes off, it's so hot."

It's summer, the guns are spewing fire all the time, the temperature inside is ridiculously high, and the electric fan is blowing hot air.

The two brothers stripped off their clothes, and there was only a panty left on their bodies, and they continued to sweat profusely naked.

Li Han Advertising Media in Lanxian County, after making the neon sign of the word "sue", Li Shun sweated like rain.

"Brother Shun, I'll wipe your sweat." Li Mingyu took a towel to wipe the sweat on Li Shun's back.

"It's not easy to earn." Li Shun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"There is no good money in the world." Li Mingyu was sweating.

After wiping the sweat and drinking a glass of cold water, Li Shun took a neon sign:

"Lamp tube molding is the soul of neon, and it is also the place where the level of the neon master is most tested, and the level is visible to the naked eye."

Li Shun pointed to the bend of the lamp and said:

"A master with a low level has uneven turns, too thick or too thin, wrinkled insides, crooked and not flat, and so on. Such a lamp has a short lifespan, and if there is a problem at both ends in three days, it will definitely not work! ”

"I remember, Master!"

"Master? Hehe, I don't plan to take in any more apprentices, and I won't accept my brothers. ”

"Brother Shun, I want to learn ......"

"You read it first, and then you make a decision."

To do all the neon signs, the second step is to package the electrode heads.

It is to bake the bent tube on the spray gun, and the electrodes are welded to the lamp, and each lamp is fused with two electrodes.

"Xiaoyu, you see, the electrode interface should not be too thin or too thick, and the interface must be completely melted, otherwise it is easy to have slow air leakage."

Li Shun held the lamp to explain, Li Mingyu didn't know how to answer.

After all the electrodes are welded, you can enter the third step and attack degassing, which is the key to making a neon sign.

Li Shun bombarded the electrodes with a high-voltage electric rod and heated the electrodes and lamps with a spray gun.

Incinerate water vapor, dust, oil and other substances in lamps and electrodes that are invisible to the naked eye.

These harmful substances are removed, and the glass tubing is connected to the vacuum pump and pumped into a vacuum.

"Xiaoyu, if the temperature of the bombardment gas is not up to standard, the harmful substances cannot be removed completely, which directly affects the quality of the lamp.

If the attack temperature is too high, it will cause excessive oxidation of the electrode, causing an oxide layer to form on its surface, causing the quality of the lamp to deteriorate. ”

Li Mingyu was completely confused, his brain was a mess of porridge, and he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth.

Li Shun bombarded the gas degassing, unscrewed the gas cylinder switch, filled the lamp with hydrogen, and then closed the interface with a hand-held spray gun.

Take out a transformer, connect the two electrodes with wires, and connect the transformer to a 220-volt power supply.

The transformer turns the low voltage into a high voltage, and the hydrogen in the lamp is bombarded by electrodes, and the lamp emits a dazzling red light.

"This ...... It's amazing, I want to learn this! Li Mingyu was shocked and excited, and said:

"Brother Shun, are you studious? You can't learn without a year and a half, right? How long did it take you to learn about the climate? ”

"No one taught me!" Li Shun shook his head and said with a smile:

"I learned it by stealing it, and when no one was around, I practiced it quietly, and I learned it in less than a month."

"Huh? Really? Li Mingyu was dumbfounded.

"Mingyu, if you want to learn, I can make an exception to teach you. But your sister-in-law has a condition, after completing her studies, she will work for me for three years, and she will not be able to go outside to take private work for three years. ”

"No problem, it's as it should be, as it should be." Li Mingyu was very excited, he really wanted to learn.

The production of neon signs is high, and tall things can definitely make money, and he has to rely on this ability to make a living, marry a wife and have children.

"The salary during the service period is very low, only a hundred yuan a month, you think about it."
