Chapter 44 The craftsmanship is stolen
“I’m not worried about not having wooden floor work in the future!
It is easy to learn to make wooden floors, and you can learn them in less than a month!
But, in that case, those apprentices cannot learn real carpenter skills…”
"Dad, you are so kind!" Zhang Junping couldn't help laughing after hearing his father's words: "The carpenter industry includes a category? Many people can't learn it in their entire lives!
Not to mention others, you are you. You are called a carpenter master. Have you mastered all the skills in the carpenter category?"
"Master all? How is this possible? I guess no one except Master Lu Ban can master all the carpenter skills!" Zhang Yingjie shook his head and said.
"Okay! Since it's impossible to master all the carpenter skills in your life, what else can you worry about?
Have you never heard of this saying that you can eat all kinds of essence?
Instead of being too many but not very good, it is better to let them specialize in one item. As long as they make the handmade wooden flooring item perfect! Then they will never worry about having no food to eat in their entire life!
We craftsmen, it is useless to pay attention to noble feelings. The ancestors passed on craftsmanship in order to allow future generations to have a meal!" Zhang Junping advised with a smile.
“Yeah, too!
I'm a little bit stubborn!
Son, you can see it thoroughly. Learning craftsmanship is just to have a job! Saying that everything else is false!" Zhang Yingjie was not stupid either. Zhang Junping understood the truth as soon as he reminded him.
From ancient times to the present, carpenters have been divided into countless small categories.
In general, there are big carpenters and little carpenters.
The big carpenter builds houses, while the little carpenter makes furniture.
In a further subdivision, there are round carpenters who specialize in making wooden barrels and tubs, wood carvers who specialize in carvings, root carvers, core carvers, inlay craftsmen who inlay furniture or wooden jewelry, bamboo makers who make bamboo products, rattan makers, etc.
These are all specializing in a small item, and they have developed very well over the past thousands of years.
If furniture factories want to train carpenters who can draw, lay out materials, process mortise and tenon, carve, and put on lacquer, spend too much time and energy.
Therefore, Zhang Junping was going to separate some of these skills and specialize in one.
For example, mortise and tenon processing, carving and lacquering can be completely separated, so you can learn one specifically.
Even if you apply large lacquer, you can divide it into two processes: squid, hang ash and painted large lacquer, and specialize in one process.
"Dad, not only wooden flooring, but others can also be learned separately!
Many people have learned this training model for a year and can’t even do a four-legged, eight-fork stool!
Why not just let them learn a single skill!"
"Hu Zi, isn't this a bit too extreme?
Many people are working hard to learn craftsmanship. If you ask them to only learn individual items, those apprentices may be in trouble!”
"Dad, you can leave when you are in a bad mood. It's hard to find a toad with three legs. There are some people with two legs!
We pay them a salary, let them learn skills, and they are still in a bad mood?
As for some people who are talented, they can use their spare time to learn other skills!
We don’t hide it, we are all open. We have the ability to learn as much as we can!
Learning crafts depends on stealing!
My ancestors have a saying that art is not easy to pass on. Now you are teaching like this, and you want to teach step by step. They often don’t know how to cherish it, but instead don’t study it carefully!
So, I used a whip to learn a skill, and then I let them go to work!
Of course, we don’t treat them badly. We can give them the salary of skilled workers, or simply give them a piece-based salary!"
In the past, it was not easy to learn craftsmanship. How many years did you have to help your master work first? Only then would you teach you craftsmanship.
Masters often have to keep a hand. Many times, they rely on stealing their skills to learn!
"I think it's OK. Although Hu Zi is not reliable, these words are still relatively reliable!" Dong Yaozong, the deputy director who had just taken office, pushed the door and walked in.
Also coming in with him was Zhang Yingwen, the secretary of the brigade and secretary of the furniture factory.
At the first cadre meeting of Jinhe Furniture Factory just held in the morning, Dong Yaozong was successfully elected as the deputy director of the logistics department and security department.
This old man Zhang Yingwen is naturally the secretary of Jinhe Furniture Factory.
Other brigade cadres and team leaders serve as deputy secretary, trade union chairman, vice chairman, and heads of various departments respectively.
"Okay, then do what you said!
When you buy the wood back, I will teach them how to make wooden floors!”
"Dad, there is no need to wait until I buy it and teach you. Don't we have old sleepers?
Just use that one, if you do it badly, you won’t feel sorry for it. It’s best to use this to practice craftsmanship!" Zhang Junping had considered it a long time ago, so he naturally gave a solution, "including other skills, mortise and tenon processing, carving, hanging hemp and hanging ash, painting and so on, etc., you can use these old sleepers to practice!
Because I’m practicing, I don’t need to deal with the smell on the sleepers!”
"Well, I'll let someone untickle the sleeper in a while, make some materials to practice for everyone!" Seeing that his son was so thoughtful, Zhang Yingjie didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yingjie was not as embarrassed as being led by his son at all, but was full of energy.
In the past, I did my own business, but now I do my own business with my son. My son can become a talent, which makes him happy about how much money he earns.
After discussing, Zhang Yingjie was about to turn around and leave the office and go to the workshop to start a new teaching model.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Zhang Junping was a little surprised and asked quickly when he looked at his father who turned around and left.
"I'll go to the workshop!"
"Dad, my uncle should have something to do when he comes here, and it's not too late to go again later!"
"Oh! Yes, brother-in-law, are you in trouble?" Zhang Yingjie then remembered to ask Dong Yaozong what was wrong.
Dong Yaozong was used to his brother-in-law, and didn't care about it. He directly expressed his purpose, "Didn't he say he wanted to recruit twenty more carpenter apprentices yesterday?
Many people came outside to sign up!
What do you think of?”
“What else can I do?
As long as you agree with the request I mentioned before, you will be recruited in!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
“There are a lot of people!”
"What does it mean to be a little too much?"
"There are forty or fifty people here! This does not include the ones who have not arrived even if they are far away!"
"So much?" Zhang Junping asked in surprise.
In his opinion, in the mid-1980s, there shouldn’t be so many junior high school graduates in rural areas.
"What do you think? There are more than a dozen junior high school graduates in our village alone, and there are not many in other villages!"
“What a big deal!
As we had agreed before, we should focus on the people in our village first, and then choose the rest from the nephews in our village!" Zhang Junping said in a relaxed tone.
"Except for our village, the others are all nephews or grandsons in our village!" Dong Yaozong said with a smile on his face as if he was watching the fun.
"All of them?" Zhang Junping grew his mouth wide.
"Our village is the largest nearby village. Many people marry in every year, and many people get married.
