Chapter 613

After Xu Zhongheng and Li Bin finished talking about business, they sat for a while before leaving.

Xu Jingxing waited for the two to leave, called An Xin to come in, and asked, "An Xin, I remember you made some wooden boxes yourself, right?"

An Xin nodded, "I did it for fun, Master, is there any problem?"

"Now I have a task for you," he said, handing over the printing paper in his hand, pointing to the design drawing he drew, "make a sample according to it, if possible, I will give you a [-]% commission for this job .”

Normally, he didn't give An Xin so much commission, and it was only five points if he was exhausted. Now that he raised [-]% all of a sudden, he naturally hoped that An Xin would contribute more, or even take it all out, because he himself was too busy. , I don't think much of this kind of "small" work.

He thought that An Xin would be very happy, but he never expected that the girl would stare at him warily, "Master, what do you mean, hush money?"

He was a little puzzled, "What hush money?"

"It's you and Miss..." An Xin explained with a slightly red face, "Master, don't worry, I'm not a talkative person, I will definitely help you keep a secret."

Hearing this, his face was a little embarrassing, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Where are you going? I'm just in love with your little lady, do you need to keep your mouth shut?"

An Xin stuck out her tongue when she heard the words, "Then why do you suddenly want to give me so much commission? Thirty percent, I dare not ask for it."

"At such a young age, I want to get quite a lot, and the hush money is paid. This is a heavy burden for you to choose. Why, you don't want to take this task?"

"Willing, willing, very willing," An Xin nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, master, I promise to make it beautiful."

He just smiled and said: "Don't express your opinion in a hurry. Let me tell you, this is just a small test. If you fail, you can only do it. Only with my approval can the [-]% commission be counted as yours. Your name, do you understand?"

"Understood, Master, wait for my good news, and I promise not to disappoint you," An Xin saluted happily, and ran into the workshop with the blueprint.

He shook his head, then took out the pen and paper to continue drawing, and drew all the ideas and designs related to the solid wood box in his mind on the paper, so as not to accidentally lose them, he also divided the photo archives into two parts and saved them in the mobile Hard disk and network cloud disk.

These drawings are standard design drawings. Whoever gets them can make them directly. For some carpenters who lack creativity, this is a very valuable thing. There are two designs that can even apply for patents, just like this The small patent has no practical significance, and it hardly brings direct economic benefits except that it sounds good in name. Instead, it will consume energy and time to do various processes and the like.

So, he didn't bother to do that.

Of course, if An Xin had this idea, she could hand it over to An Xin, which would be of great benefit to An Xin's future.

However, cultivating apprentices cannot be counterproductive, and such good things cannot be handed over all at once. They must be sprinkled out bit by bit, so that apprentices can maintain a certain sense of hunger and freshness, so as to maintain a strong desire to learn and curiosity.

When it was time for him to eat, An Xin came out with a freshly baked box, and held it in front of him like a treasure, "Master, how about my craftsmanship?"

The box is still a plain box, but it has been polished. The white maple wood with fine wood texture, clear texture and bright color has been carefully polished, and it looks like a mirror surface. The color is still very warm, and it is very gratifying to look at. The corners are carefully polished into a blunt round shape, which is very comfortable to hold in the hand without any harsh feeling, and there are no burrs or potholes at all.

He has very strict requirements for An Xin, and he has emphasized these details since the beginning of his art learning. This is the case with details such as burrs. It has nothing to do with craftsmanship, but only with attitude.Poor workmanship can be forgiven, but the attitude of being careless or perfunctory is completely intolerable, so the work done with peace of mind, regardless of whether it is beautiful or not, at least there are no flaws such as burrs.

After a long time, after developing this habit, no matter what job you do, you will do it very beautifully.

Seeing this, he was also full of relief.

Weigh the box in your hand, rub it twice and then open it. The lid is turned up, and the brass-colored hinges are carefully inlaid in the groove. The inlays are tightly stitched, just like growing in wood, which looks special. Comfortable, the joint between the box cover and the box body is also handled very carefully, especially the semi-arc groove bottom inside the box body is polished meticulously, those who don’t know it may think it was dug out by a machine.

After reading it over and over twice, he nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, very good, the basic skills have met my requirements, congratulations, the [-]% commission belongs to you," he said, and put the newly printed blueprint on the table. Take out a copy and hand it to An Xin, "This is the blueprint. Make a sample of each drawing and try to complete it within two days."

An Xin, who was originally happy, suddenly turned bitter: "Master, two days, isn't it too late?"

The boxes that Xu Zhongheng wanted consisted of a total of twelve shapes, long, square, and round. He added so many novel designs and structures to the basic shape and size, which made the production more difficult. It's really fast to get all of them out. Even a skilled old carpenter has to work overtime, let alone a rookie like An Xin?
Of course, he didn't mean to make things difficult for An Xin, so he explained with a smile: "We craftsmen are like this. We can only catch up with the work, and we can't wait for the work. It's quite comfortable to wait for the work, but the employer doesn't wait for us, otherwise you think I like to stay up late every day to catch up with the work? Haven’t you been driven to that step by the work? Your basic skills are qualified, but if you want to become a qualified craftsman, this is just the beginning, and the work is to become a qualified craftsman. The craftsman's first step."

As soon as he finished speaking, An Xin's face suddenly became serious, and he replied seriously: "Master, I understand, I will work overtime with you tonight."

He was quite proud at first, but when he heard An Xin's words, his expression suddenly turned bitter. He planned to read poetry with Jin Xiaoxiao at night, but now it was completely ruined.

what is this?Dig your own pit and bury yourself?
But what you said just now is so righteous, there is no room for repentance, so I can only nod my head in depression, and I have to ask: "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me, and call Nana first. , let’s just say we’ll go back later, and then wash up quickly, and the four of us will go out for a big meal later.”
