Everyone saw only a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, and they felt incredible.
You are too young. Why can you make the two shopkeepers obey your orders?
Unexpectedly, this young man came to the two shopkeepers, bowed his hands and said, "Uncle, uncle, the workshop in Zhaojiazhuang not only has to consider whether to make money, but also whether to keep Jingyan in good health."
In modern terms, workshops must consider not only economic benefits, but also social benefits.
"Chen Laoshi did not enter the workshop. His wife entered the workshop, and Chen Laoshi's children were greatly affected." The man looked at Chen Laoshi and continued, "Besides, Chen Laoshi is in the prime of life and is an honest man, so entering the workshop is also useful."
Everyone felt that the nephew of the shopkeeper was really good. Not only was he polite, but he also spoke in a reasonable and measured manner, which made everyone present have a sharp increase in their goodwill towards him.
But what made everyone at the scene dumbfounded, and what made Jin Ming extremely angry, was that this person actually mentioned Liu Yong.
The young man looked at Liu Yong and said, "Uncle, this Liu Yong is responsible, honest, and good at dealing with things. He can be admitted directly. I suggest he be made the foreman."
Liu Yong was even more dumbfounded. He did not expect that he not only entered the workshop directly out of temporary loyalty, but also became the foreman.
But can this young man keep his words? After all, the two shopkeepers are his elders.
While Liu Yong was worrying about gains and losses, Yu Qikun nodded and said: "Chen Laoshi and Liu Yong's family directly entered the toothbrush workshop, and Liu Yong became the foreman."
Everyone was stunned and stepped forward to congratulate Chen Xiazi and Liu Yong's family.
Blind Chen's family members hurriedly came forward to the young man and kowtowed.
The young man hurriedly stepped aside and said: "You don't have to kowtow. If you really want to kowtow, just kowtow to Mr. Zhao from the Chengdu direction, because he is the one who runs the Zhaojiazhuang workshop and it is he who proposes poverty relief."
Everyone's favorable impression of him rose again. Not only did they not take any credit, they also admitted that the credit belonged to Mr. Zhao.
After his reminder, everyone suddenly remembered that Zhaojiazhuang had indeed had a great influence on Jingyan. Not only did it run a salt mill and a school, but it now also runs workshops for poor people.
Everyone kowtowed in the direction of Chengdu and thanked Zhao Guanren.
After kowtowing, Liu Yong looked down at the young man. He was humble, polite, and vaguely powerful.
This person should be the benefactor of himself and Blind Chen, but he doesn't even know who the benefactor is.
Liu Yong thanked others in his heart and asked others: "Who is this benefactor? He actually asked two shopkeepers to obey his orders?"
Everyone shook their heads. After all, they were from poor families and did not know much about officialdom and workshops.
At this time, a man in his forties dressed as an outsider came over and congratulated Liu Yong on becoming the foreman.
Liu Yong chatted with this person and found out that this person was Yu Wenming, a member of the Yu family in Jingyan, and his brother was a master in Zhaojiazhuang School.
Yu Wenming knew a lot, and he introduced the origin of this young man to Liu Yong.
It turns out that this young man is Yu Moyan, the chief shopkeeper of Zhaojiazhuang Jingyan Workshop.
He has the power to nominate the shopkeepers below, and he can be appointed as the local shopkeeper after being reviewed and approved by Zhaojiazhuang.
Therefore, of course Yu Qikun and Huang Zhihuan will listen to what he says. He is their immediate boss.
Yu Wenming was also admitted and was also the foreman of the toothbrush workshop. The two of them were middle managers in the toothbrush workshop and should be colleagues.
The more the two of them talked, the more animated they became, probably because they met so late.
Although the Yu family is not a wealthy family, it still has a certain reputation in Jingyan, and can be regarded as second-rate or third-rate.
In the past, Yu Wenming would never have looked at Liu Yong in the eyes.
Today he was able to take the initiative to talk to Liu Yong, obviously because of his status in front of Yu Moyan and Yu Qikun.
Thinking of this, Liu Yong couldn't help but be even more grateful to Zhaojiazhuang. It was Zhaojiazhuang who changed his fate with Blind Chen, and changed the fate of countless people in Jingyan.
Amid the envious eyes of those behind, Liu Yong, Chen Xiazi, Yu Wenming and their families walked toward the gate of the toothbrush workshop.
The gate is huge, with two iron doors, at least one foot wide.
When they arrived at the gate, they realized that the defense was extremely tight, with soldiers from the security regiment standing guard at the guard booths on both sides.
The security guards carefully checked the wooden signs in their hands, nodded, and opened the railing to let them in.
When Liu Yong and his family walked through the door, they couldn't help but be stunned.
There are two completely different worlds here and outside, and they are the lucky ones who can enter this world.
This workshop covers at least a hundred acres. There are about fifty rooms of various sizes in the workshop, and there are hundreds of craftsmen's lounges, public rooms, canteens, etc. next to it.
The workshop is surrounded by walls, and the walls and the workshop are a fairy cement avenue of more than one foot.
The avenue is not only flat and smooth, but also divided by willow trees in the middle to ensure that bullock carts and carriages can pass unimpeded.
There is a dam next to the gate, which is also made of immortal cement and is flat and smooth.
The area is not small, at least more than five acres, and it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of years of ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages.
The walls are red and the workshop is also red, which is the festive color favored by the Song Dynasty and symbolizes the booming business.
Yu Wenming couldn't help stroking his beard and sighed, his voice full of gratitude: "I thought the salt factory was big enough, but I didn't expect the toothbrush workshop to be bigger. I don't know how much effort and money Zhaojiazhuang spent on it."
After finishing speaking, Yu Wenming bowed again in the direction of Chengdu, and the family members of Liu Yong and Chen Xiazi also bowed in the direction of Chengdu.
"Yu Yu is right. We will never let down Zhaojiazhuang's hopes. We will work hard to make Zhaojiazhuang prosperous." Liu Yong said seriously.
At this point, he paused and then said, "Of course, there is water in the big river in Zhaojiazhuang, and we also have water in the small rivers in Jingyan."
Liu Yong's subsequent words were full of confidence, but also straightforward.
Yu Wenming just smiled after hearing this. He also had this idea, but he would never show it so openly.
Blind Chen nodded, praised his kindness, and agreed with Liu Yong's statement.
Blind Chen turned his one eye, bowed his hands to Yu Wenming, and asked: "Except Yu, this workshop can accommodate at least a thousand people."
"I heard that this workshop is designed for two thousand people. It will definitely not be a problem to accommodate a thousand people." Yu Wenming was well-informed and his words made them stunned.
Blind Chen bowed his hands and said thoughtfully: "Which fairy match workshop is the biggest?"
Liu Yong and Yu Wenming couldn't help but be stunned, don't you still dislike this workshop?
Yu Wenming looked at Blind Chen with even more disdain. It was Liu Yong who asked for mercy when you entered this workshop. Why did you think of that workshop?
"Chen Laoshi, haven't you already entered the toothbrush workshop?" Liu Yong frowned and asked, "Why do you think of the fairy match workshop again?"
"I don't think this workshop is bad. Of course I like it before it's too late." Blind Chen said.
Liu Yong glared at him and asked a little unhappily: "Then why do you think about that workshop again?" "The villain wanted to ask how many people that workshop can accommodate. The villain looked around and saw that there were already thousands of people outside. ." Blind Chen felt a little guilty when he said this, "The blind man, the villain, came in and felt that he was squeezing their way of life."
Yu Wenming didn't take much care of this person at first. He was not good-looking and he was picky just now. Now it seems that he has misunderstood him.
"Chen Laoshi, don't worry about this. I took a rough look at that workshop. The area is about the same as this workshop, and it should accommodate about the same number of craftsmen." Yu Wenming's words were full of sincerity and enthusiasm.
"Thank God," Blind Chen suddenly knelt down and shed tears from one eye. He bowed his hands to the sky and his tone suddenly became relaxed. "In this way, even a little person can have a peaceful sleep."
Liu Yong and Yu Wenming glanced at each other. Seeing his pious expression, they nodded happily. Yu Wenming also secretly gave Liu Yong a thumbs up.
There are not many stages in the toothbrushing process, including cleaning the bristles, cleaning and drying the bamboo, cutting the bamboo into small bamboo pieces, punching holes in the small bamboo pieces, and hair-coating the bamboo pieces.
Although Liu Yong and Yu Wenming are both foremen, they are responsible for different sections of work.
Liu Yong is in charge of the cleaning section, and Yu Wenming is in charge of the hair-tying section.
Pig bristles have a characteristic, not only are they hard and easy to damage teeth, but they also smell like pig feces.
If it doesn’t remove the smell of pig shit and doesn’t make the bristles soft, who would be willing to use it?
The cleaning section is the first section, where the bristles are soaked and cleaned to remove the odor of the bristles and soften them at the same time.
The tying section is the final section, where white and soft boar bristles are tied into the small bamboo pieces that have been punched.
Chen Laoshi was blind and naturally couldn't do anything at the last stage. His two daughters were just right for it.
Although Yu Qikun agreed to let Blind Chen in, he was still worried. He decided to come in and observe Blind Chen. What if it didn't work?
In the cleaning section, some craftsmen poured the fairy water prepared by Zhao Ping into the pot.
Some craftsmen heat the water, and the water temperature is also very important. It should neither be too hot nor too cold, which is about the same as the human body temperature.
Pour some bristles into the pot and let them soak for a day.
Some craftsmen wash and drain the bristles that have been soaked for a day. At this time, the bristles become clean and soft.
Yu Qikun came in and saw Chen Laoshi pouring the fairy water into the pot, with his wife Chen Zhang assisting next to him.
After all, Chen Laoshi was blind in one eye and needed to be looked after by Chen Zhang.
He also has a job, which is to take care of the fairy water.
Seeing Yu Qikun come in, Liu Yong hurriedly saluted and replied: "Chen Laoshi is the most suitable for this position. He is meticulous and will not listen to anyone else except me."
"This fairy water is only available in Zhaojiazhuang," Yu Qikun nodded and solemnly warned again and again: "Be sure to keep it well without making any mistakes."
Liu Yong nodded and agreed hastily.
"You are the one I trust the most. The cleaning stage is the most critical. Only Zhaojiazhuang can do this. This is a secret technique that Zhao Guanren will never pass on to others." Yu Qikun patted Liu Yong on the shoulder and said, "You must We must keep this secret."
Liu Yong knelt down on one leg, bowed solemnly, and said: "Yong must keep this secret. I swear to God, if I can't do it, the sky will strike with thunder."
Yu Qikun nodded, personally stepped forward to help him up, and said, "As long as you do good things, Zhaojiazhuang will never treat you badly, and the benefits will come to you."
"What's so good about it?" Liu Yong couldn't help but ask.
