Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 51 Now it's time to work hard and make money.

After get off work in the evening
Li Feng was very happy.

Now I finally have some performance to show.

If you can earn performance-based pay, your salary will be much higher.

Although I haven't graduated yet, my current treatment is already similar to that of a painting apprentice who has completed their apprenticeship.

However, Li Feng knew that he still needed to work harder.

That way, I can have a better life here.

When Li Feng returned home.

It's still early.

This might be the reason why I didn't work overtime.

There is indeed no need for overtime work in the pottery wheel workshop now.

Because the other processes simply cannot keep up with demand.

The speed of throwing the potter's wheel is not much different from that of trimming the potter's wheel. After trimming the potter's wheel, it needs to be glazed, then fired, then painted, then filled with color, and then fired again.

Therefore, the series of procedures takes a lot of time.

However, the main problem is that the later processes are too time-consuming.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, learning to paint takes much longer than learning to throw or trim a potter's wheel.

Moreover, although painting does take on apprentices, they are few in number and difficult to train.

Moreover, the ceramics factory has no plans to hire painters at the moment.

Because the production of ceramic factories is divided into off-season and peak season.

During the off-season, there is a sufficient supply of painters; during the peak season, painters can work overtime to keep up with demand.

This is one of the reasons why we are only recruiting apprentices for pottery making and pottery training for the time being.

When Li Feng returned home.

Li Feng discovered that everyone in the courtyard was at home.

It's already winter by now, and people usually stay home once the sun goes down.

While Li Feng was at home boiling water.

He Yushui came directly to their door.

At this moment, Li Feng noticed that He Yushui had some teaching materials in her hands.

Upon seeing Li Feng, He Yushui smiled and spoke directly to him.

"Brother Feng!"

"I've brought you all the textbooks you requested."

After He Yushui finished speaking, she directly held up the textbook in her hand and placed it in front of Li Feng.

Li Feng took the textbook from He Yushui and then thanked her with a smile.

"rainwater!".

"Thank you for the teaching materials."

"Is this a first-year high school student?"

He Yushui nodded to Li Feng.

"That's right!"

"I only have the first-year high school textbooks here right now; I still need the second-year high school textbooks."

"I'll ask the teacher about the senior year textbooks tomorrow."

"I think the teacher should have one."

Li Feng shook his head and said.

"never mind!".

"I'll look at the first-year high school books first."

There is still time.

He Yushui nodded, then checked the time and said to Li Feng.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now."

Li Feng quickly got up and saw He Yushui out the door.

After He Yushui left, Li Feng closed the door.

Li Feng then began to look at the teaching materials that He Yushui had given him.

Next, Li Feng went through all the textbooks.

He discovered it!
I've basically studied all the content in the textbook, so I should be fine after reviewing it a few times.

As for the remaining teaching materials, I'll have to figure out a way to get them myself.

The next day

Li Feng arrived at the ceramics factory

Master Lin found Li Feng and spoke to him.

"Li Feng!"

"This time, the sales department told us that the client wanted to change the artwork."

Li Feng was stunned for a moment.

Then he asked Master Lin a question.

"Master Lin, what kind of design is this?"

"Are you not going to paint pictures of children at play anymore?"

Master Lin shook his head at Li Feng and said.

"It's still a picture of children at play!"

"It's just that the difficulty has increased."

"We won't redo the one you drew before." Li Feng nodded.

Then Master Lin took out the new drawings.

Li Feng saw that the painting depicted children playing in a magnificent manor.

The drawing depicts seven or eight children, all small and exquisite, with different expressions. Some are dressed in gorgeous clothes, some are playing with rattles, and some are playing with rocking horses.

Some were playing with small wooden swords, others were climbing small stone blocks, and still others were playing hide-and-seek.

The characters are truly incredibly rich and varied.

have to say.

This picture of babies at play is very well drawn.

So Li Feng couldn't help but ask Master Lin.

"Master Lin, is this from a traditional Chinese painting? Or is it an original ceramic piece?"

Master Lin thought for a moment, then answered Li Feng.

"It's an original ceramic design."

"It only borrowed some elements from meticulous brushwork paintings."

Then Master Lin asked Li Feng.

"Can you draw?"

Li Feng looked at the blueprints, then nodded to Master Lin.

"no problem".

"I can draw."

"By the way! How many of these do we need to draw?"

Master Lin spoke directly to Li Feng.

There are still 263 cups.

"You and Wu Min will complete the whole thing. As for the price, draw up a performance bonus of 80 cents."

When Li Feng heard about this performance, he was immediately surprised.

This is 80 cents of performance pay for an apprentice in the field of optical design; if it were a professional artist, it would be even more.

So Li Feng immediately nodded to Master Lin and said.

"Master Lin, I will try my best to draw."

Master Lin nodded and asked Li Feng to draw a new script.

Because this was intended for mass production, Li Feng redesigned the drawings himself.

Not only Li Feng, but also Wu Min, Yu Fei and others are redoing the drawings.

Because there were a lot of drawings this time, everyone, regardless of who they were, had to take new photos.

If you make a drawing at once, you can only take a maximum of twenty photos. After taking those twenty photos, there will be almost no ink left on the Xuan paper, so you will have to trace it again.

so.

Because there are so many images, the completed images cannot be used together.

Li Feng can now draw very quickly.

It took about twenty minutes to finish drawing it.

Then the Xuan paper was processed in one go.

While Li Feng was taking pictures of the pattern on the teacup, Wu Min and the others had just finished tracing the design.

have to say.

Li Feng's drawing speed has surpassed theirs.

Li Feng then began to draw carefully and attentively.

This time, I need to draw much more than I did yesterday.

so.

It took Li Feng an entire morning to finish painting a teacup.
