In the Beining workshop, Li Si, the youngest son of Blacksmith Li, threw a finished part into the pile of parts with a clang, wiped his sweat, and came to his third brother's side and muttered in a low voice: "I have never seen anything like this.

They don’t tell us what to do, they just give us a picture and let us follow it. We don’t know what to do, so we can’t do anything good like this.”

He moved his mouth to the next door again: "He also sent an evil woman to supervise us. What we did is really unpleasant..."

Before he could finish his words, Tiejiang Li slapped him on the forehead.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will report it to Butler Zhou and ask him to kick you out of the workshop?"

"Hey, dad, I just want to talk about it, just talk about it." Li Si quickly sneered at his father.

Just kidding, working here earns a lot more than working outside, and you don’t have to deal with customers or worry about bad business. There are also set times for working every day. Although I’m not too idle, I’m not tired either. Every ten days

There is still one day off, which is much better than running a blacksmith shop by themselves. You must know that running a blacksmith shop is open all year round. Sometimes customers are in a hurry to rush for goods, and it is common to stay up late to work.

Apart from being stricter here, and having to be criticized by the woman surnamed Feng if things are not up to standard, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

On the day they arrived, Manager Yang Daxing read them some "rules and regulations". As long as they did not violate the rules of the workshop and could overfulfill the task while ensuring quality, there would be one or two to three taels per month.

Where's the reward?

Of course, if there are too many substandard parts, wages will be deducted.

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

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

After dinner in the evening, he called all four sons into his room and said seriously: "No one can say anything about what the fourth son said today. If anyone in the workshop talks about this matter, you should also fight against it."

"

"What did the fourth child say?" Neither Li Lao nor Li Lao Er knew what happened.

When Li Laosi saw that his father and third brother did not speak for him, he had to repeat what he said in the afternoon.

He also defended himself: "That's the way it is. In the past, no matter what we did, we knew it well before we started casting. Only in this way can we ensure that the product will be good. But now the boss doesn't tell us anything and only throws a picture over.

, just let us do it like that. How can this be done? What if we do it out of shape?"

"Isn't there someone helping us check?" Li Laoer said.

"The inspection is after the fact. What's the use of saying it's unqualified afterwards? Wouldn't it be better to make it clear in advance?" Li Laosi retorted.

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

Among the five fathers and sons, the fourth child has the highest talent as a blacksmith. During his more than ten years of blacksmithing career, the products he made have been repeatedly praised by customers. Some customers who came to the shop to order swords named Lao Si to make them.

Because of this, Li Laosi was a little confused. After entering the workshop, he didn't take the dimensions on the drawing seriously. He felt that based on his own level, he would know how to do it at a glance.

But when he finished it, Mr. Feng inspected it and said that what he had done was a waste and asked him to correct it. Li Laosi was not convinced, and after trying it again, he was judged to be unqualified. Lao Si had a bad temper.

Although he didn't dare to quarrel with Feng when he was new, he choked her several times.

Fortunately, Ms. Feng didn't argue with him and didn't file a complaint afterwards. It was just that when it should be judged to be unqualified, it was still judged to be unqualified.

Therefore, although Li Laosi is the most talented and skilled among the five father and son, he has now become the most useless person. No wonder he feels uncomfortable in his heart.

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

Everyone calmed down and looked at Dad.

Li Tiejiang raised his head and looked at Li Si with a serious face: "Si, you have been making trouble for so long, haven't you thought about why the boss only gave us the measurements and didn't let us know what we were doing?"

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

Blacksmith Li's face was full of disappointment: "Originally, you were very talented, and I had high expectations for you. I hoped that your family would have a famous blacksmith. But now..." He shook his head and did not say any more.

Li Laosi was unconvinced: "What's wrong now? I am also the one who makes the best iron tools in the family, right?"

"What's the use of that? You don't have to use your brain when you're in trouble." Li Tiejiang hates that iron can't be made into steel. "Think about it, think about it carefully and see if you can figure it out."

Now not only Li Laosi, but also the other three brothers started thinking.

They have never gone to school and have been helping the family with blacksmithing work since they could hold a hammer. They basically belong to the category of simple-minded people with well-developed limbs. They usually only think about how to make iron tools better, and they don't do anything else at all.

to think.

Li Laosi just didn't think about it. If he thought about it carefully, he seemed to be more flexible than his brothers.

He looked at his father and said, "Could it be that she wants to make a new style of thing?"

Tiejiang Li was very pleased.

He nodded and said: "That's right. So she only gave us the measurements and didn't let us know what she was doing. She was afraid that someone would be unjust and secretly sell the appearance of these things to others to make huge profits. And the owner gave us

With such a generous salary, all we need is to keep it secret."

He pointed at Li Laosi: "So don't let me hear you complaining about your boss again. Once someone leaks the secret in the future, you may be the first to be suspected. Who told you that you are usually full of complaints and you are so angry at your boss and her?

Are the people who come to supervise us dissatisfied?"

Li Laosi pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

After a long while, he said angrily: "I know."

…

That afternoon, Zhao Ruxi finished the training class and was returning to Green Jiaoyuan to rest. Zhou Chun brought a food box in at the right time and took out the snacks in it and placed them in front of Zhao Ruxi.

"Girl, you can try these snacks."

He was entrusted by Qian Duoduo and ordered by Zhao Ruxi to buy a cook to make snacks and consume the grain in Zhuangzi's warehouse, so he has been working on this matter during this time.

He did not place the cook in the village, but placed it in a courtyard with a small kitchen in the workshop next door. This made it easier for Zhao Ruxi to give her hot snacks to taste while she was taking a rest.

Originally, as the chief steward, he did not need to do such specific things, he could just leave them to the people below.
