Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 119 Salaries were paid before the New Year
After Li Feng arrived at the factory, everyone was talking about the upcoming Chinese New Year.

Today is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, which means that the Lunar New Year is just a few days away.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, everyone has their own New Year's wishes.

Li Feng was no exception.

Li Feng's current hope is that his life will get better and better. In Li Feng's view, if he can't even live well himself, then talking about anything else would be a bit fake.

At this moment

After putting his things into his locker, Li Feng squatted down next to his workstation and warmed himself by the fire.

The end of the year is approaching.

Most places are about to start their holidays, and the Five Star Ceramics Factory where Li Feng works is no exception.

Just as Li Feng and the others were warming themselves by the fire.

Master Deng arrived at the new color group and then gathered everyone in the new color group together.

The members of the new color group quickly gathered together.

Then Master Deng addressed everyone.

"I just received a notice from my superiors that our painting workshop will have to take a break after painting until the 28th."

"As you all know, kilns are usually fired up to around number 30."

"In the remaining days, try your best to finish what you have on hand. After you're done, our painting workshop will need to take inventory."

Li Feng only realized this when he heard this.

The factory is about to close for the holidays, so we need to take stock of everything in the factory before the holidays.

At this moment, the others couldn't help but stretch and say.

"Finally, the holiday is almost here. I've been so busy for so long."

"yes!".

"Finally I can get some rest, but I don't know how much money I'll get this time."

Li Feng was also quite looking forward to the salary.

After all, he was already a level three painter, and the porcelain he painted were all high-performing new-style porcelain. At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but think that he would definitely be able to earn more than 80 or 90 yuan this time.

If I received that much, my salary would definitely be higher than that of my second uncle, Liu Haizhong.

As for Yi Zhonghai, there's no comparison.

After all, Yi Zhonghai's monthly salary was the highest in the courtyard.

Li Feng also knew the principle of not flaunting wealth, so he would never talk about his salary in public.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about this, Master Deng continued speaking to everyone.

"After the inventory is completed, everyone can line up to collect their wages."

When Master Deng finished speaking, cheers erupted from the crew.

After all, once they get paid, they can buy whatever they want, so most people in the group are really looking forward to the New Year.

After Master Deng finished speaking, he told everyone to continue drawing.

He also reminded everyone that the deadline for performance evaluation was the 28th of the month.

Everyone then understood what Master Deng meant: to finish painting the entire porcelain piece before the 28th.

Li Feng didn't care about this.

After all, at my own pace, drawing two pieces a day shouldn't be a problem.

Next up!
Everyone started working in a pleasant atmosphere.

The end of the year is approaching.

Although everyone enjoyed the work, the efficiency was definitely very slow.

In the potter's wheel workshop.

Wang Liu and the others chatted idly here, having nothing better to do.

They had also received the notification, but they went to bed a little earlier than Li Feng.

Since the Chinese New Year is approaching, we don't need so many porcelain blanks anymore.

So they're just dawdling here.

At this moment, Wang Liu stretched his body and then said to Qian Fusheng.

"Fusheng".

"The Lunar New Year is almost here, what are your plans?"

At this moment, Qian Fusheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said...

"What plans could I possibly have? My mom's telling me to go on a blind date."

Wang Liu shook his head and said.

"You guys are all going on blind dates, what about me?"

Qian Fusheng waved his hand and said.

"Weren't you having a good time in the filler workshop?"

"You didn't seem to be in any discomfort?"

Wang Liu couldn't help but sigh.

"Didn't I also fail to reach an agreement?"

"Do you think I'm like Jianjun?"

"If I had the same conditions as Jianjun, I would have gotten married long ago."

"That's right!"

"Li Feng seems to be the same as you, right?"

At this moment, Wang Liu seemed to remember something, and Qian Fusheng nodded to Wang Liu and said.

"yes!".

"But now Li Feng is already a master."

"I haven't even become a formal apprentice yet." "It's true what they say, you have to compare yourself to others."

When Qian Fusheng got to this point, he couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Liu patted Qian Fusheng on the shoulder and said.

"People are indeed different, but don't forget to send gifts for the festival."

“This is the most important thing in our factory.”

Qian Fusheng nodded and said.

"I know".

"However, it seems we only need to deliver one, while Li Feng seems to need to deliver three."

Upon hearing this, Wang Liu couldn't help but laugh.

"Otherwise what!"

"Our Master Wang here, then Master Lin there, and finally Master Deng."

"Sizzle."

"This must cost a lot of money."

Qian Fusheng nodded in agreement.

That's right.

Time flies
Soon it was the 29th of the lunar calendar.

That day, Li Feng arrived at the factory early.

As for Sha Zhu, he didn't contact Li Feng, so Li Feng guessed that Sha Zhu and that girl named Zhu Ting were probably developing something.

Moreover, with He Yushui's help, Li Feng felt that his chances of success this time were very high.

I just wonder if Sha Zhu will bring people into the courtyard during the Chinese New Year.

In the morning, Li Feng and his group had taken stock of everything in the new lottery booth. After that, Master Deng asked Li Feng and the others to clean up the new lottery booth.

Li Feng had no complaints about this, so he led Zhang Jiefang and others to start cleaning the Xincai Group's premises.

After doing all that.

The new color scheme is much cleaner now.

At this time, the entire factory was busy with inventory and cleaning.

As for the kiln, that's the last thing to consider.

After doing all that.

Li Feng arrived at the finance department early.

After all, getting paid should be done quickly.

When Li Feng arrived at the finance department, he found that there was already a very long queue.

Just as Li Feng was about to stand back and wait, he was stopped by Zhou Jianjun and the others.

When Li Feng saw the envelopes in their hands, he was immediately surprised.

"You got it so quickly?"

Wang Liu smiled and nodded to Li Feng.

"That is..."

"We came right after we finished eating. Our pottery wheel workshop stopped working a few days ago."

"Since we didn't have anything to do these past few days, we came here first."

Zhou Jianjun nodded to Li Feng as well.

"yes!".

“Every year during the Chinese New Year, our pottery wheel workshop is the first to come and collect our wages.”

"But now that you're a master, your salary will definitely be higher than ours."

Li Feng asked Zhou Jianjun, Wang Liu, and Qian Fusheng with some curiosity.

"How much did you send out?"

Qian Fusheng sighed.

"Twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents."

Then Li Feng turned his gaze to Zhou Jianjun and Wang Liu.

"And what about you guys?"

Zhou Jianjun said directly.

"Fifty-seven".

Wang Liu echoed this.

I am seventy-three.

Li Feng was somewhat surprised after hearing what the two of them said.

"It's more than last month."

Wang Liu nodded and said.

"Of course."

"We don't know how much work we've done this month."

"Isn't it expected to be higher than last month?"

Zhou Jianjun nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

"I feel like my back is about to break."

After hearing what the two said, Qian Fusheng felt like crying but had no tears left.

"I only have twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents."
