Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 54 Sha Zhu Buys a Bicycle

In the days that followed, with Li Feng's hard work, he learned things faster and faster.

more than a month later
Li Feng is now basically able to independently depict porcelain.

As for pottery throwing...

Li Feng is now able to make porcelain slabs perfectly.

However, when it comes to throwing clay, Li Feng spends most of his time kneading it.

This may be related to Master Wang's teaching methods.

However, this also made Li Feng feel that taking things one step at a time is a good thing.

Tomorrow is payday.

Li Feng was somewhat looking forward to seeing how much money he would receive.

Last month, I drew eight teacups. Except for the first teacup, which earned me 50 cents, the others earned me 80 cents.

This is already considered very good for Li Feng.

According to Li Feng's estimate, his apprentice salary for the whole month last month was 27.5 yuan. Seven teacups cost 80 cents, which is 5.6 yuan, plus a 50-cent performance bonus.

In other words, my salary is 33.6 yuan.

The basic salary for a formal painting apprentice is thirty-two, and my salary has already caught up with that of a formal apprentice.

And most importantly, I only painted eight teacups last month, if I could work for twenty-six days.

My salary is now about forty-eight yuan.

This salary far exceeds that of Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu's current salary is only thirty-seven yuan and fifty cents.

However, Sha Zhu also takes on side jobs to cater to large banquets from time to time, and Li Feng estimates that he can earn a few dollars for each large banquet.

of course!

I learned about these things during a conversation with He Yushui later on.

After learning about these things, Li Feng suspected that the reason Sha Zhu did this was because he had provoked Sha Zhu last time.

According to He Yushui.

She said her brother had been acting mysterious ever since that night, and later she found out he had gone to do side jobs.

But this is normal.

These days, anyone with a bit of skill will definitely earn more money, otherwise...
How can I support my whole family?

But it seems that this silly Zhu only has one younger sister to raise, right?

Moreover, this younger sister wasn't raised very well.

Li Feng discovered that Sha Zhu's younger sister was malnourished.

I can't interfere with what's going on with Sha Zhu.

But Li Feng still needed to think carefully about his own affairs.

Starting next month, I should be able to have some extra money.

After all, that's nearly fifty yuan in income.

I had heard Wu Min mention it before.

He once received over eighty yuan.

Moreover, he was still an apprentice, and an apprentice earning more than eighty yuan was something many people simply couldn't believe in those days.

After all, the eldest uncle, who was an eighth-level fitter, only earned ninety-nine yuan a month, and the second uncle, who was a seventh-level forger, earned about the same as Wu Min.

have to say!

This porcelain is incredibly profitable.

There's a saying that goes, "Men fear choosing the wrong career, and women fear marrying the wrong man."

Choosing an industry is very important.

I was lucky to get a job as an apprentice in the ceramics factory; otherwise...

I never had the chance to earn so much money so quickly.

Now, living in a courtyard house, I probably have the least amount of money.

But its potential is quite great.

Thinking of this, Li Feng felt much happier.

Afternoon get off work hours
After Li Feng kneaded the kaolin around him into a ball, it was almost time for him to go home.

That's when.

Wang Liu walked up to Li Feng.

At this moment, he whispered to Li Feng.

"Li Feng!"

"He Wei's case has been decided."

Li Feng was somewhat surprised.

Since He Wei was taken away, I don't think I've paid any attention to this matter.

So he couldn't help but ask Wang Liu.

"How long was the sentence?"

Wang Liu told Li Feng.

"ten years.".

Li Feng remained silent for a moment, then asked Wang Liu how long that "Dog Brother" had been sentenced to.

Wang Liu told Li Feng directly.

"Killed."

When Li Feng heard these two words...

Li Feng took a deep breath.

I haven't heard this word in a long time.

But that’s fine.

That way, there won't be anyone to cause trouble.

After all, if someone like Dog Brother were released, it would be a threat to everyone.

In this day and age, many households still possess dangerous weapons. Therefore, Li Feng still needs to be careful.

While the two were talking.

Zhou Jianjun and Qian Fusheng also joined the two.

At this moment, Qian Fusheng asked Wang Liu curiously.

"Brother Wang".

"What were you just saying?"

Zhou Jianjun nodded and asked.

Wang Liu didn't hide anything from the two of them, but told them directly about He Wei's situation.

After hearing Wang Liu's words, Zhou Jianjun was filled with righteous indignation.

"Serves you right!"

"Sentenced to only ten years, that's too lenient on him."

Qian Fusheng nodded in agreement with an indignant expression, saying, "Yes! I think it will take at least twenty years."

Li Feng neither agreed nor disagreed with what the two said.

After all, as long as there is no threat, that's fine with Li Feng.

Next up!
Soon it was time to get off work.

After tidying up their workstations, the group prepared to leave work and go to the cafeteria for dinner.

After returning home, Li Feng sat down and read a book.

Li Feng had basically finished reading all the books for the first year of high school during this period. He was only reading these today to review.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about some things.

Sha Zhu walked into Li Feng's room with a happy expression.

"Li Feng Brothers".

"Li Feng Brothers".

Li Feng turned around and saw that Sha Zhu had already walked up behind him.

Just as Li Feng was about to say something, Sha Zhu grabbed Li Feng's arm and pulled him outside.

When the two of them walked up to a new bicycle.

Li Feng saw Sha Zhu pointing at the brand-new bicycle with a smug look on his face.

"See that?"

"Phoenix brand!"

"How about it?".

"Isn't that amazing?"

Li Feng looked at Sha Zhu's bicycle and asked him with some confusion.

"your?".

Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows, looking rather smug.

"Of course."

"Just bought it!"

"It cost me 170 yuan."

Li Feng asked Sha Zhu with some surprise.

"Do you have a bicycle ticket?"

Li Feng had no doubt that Sha Zhu had the means to buy a car, but in this era, buying a bicycle required a bicycle ticket or industrial coupons.

How could Sha Zhu get his hands on this?
Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu immediately nodded and replied to Li Feng.

"Who am I?"

"Doing this is not easy at all!"

Li Feng then remembered that Sha Zhu was the head chef at the steel rolling mill, so getting these industrial vouchers was indeed very easy for him.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about these things.

Sha Zhu's boasting attracted a lot of people.

Among them were two old men, one big and one small.

At this moment, an old man walked up to the bicycle, looked at it, and then smiled and congratulated Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu! Not bad!"

"Bought a bicycle."

The second uncle squatted down and looked at the sign.

"Huh!"

"Phoenix Brand".

"How did you get it?"

Sha Zhu said with a hint of smugness.

"My factory arranged it through someone."

"Second Uncle!"

"From this day forward, I am a person who owns a bicycle."

Just as Sha Zhu finished speaking, Xu Damao returned pushing his bicycle.

He saw a group of people gathered in the courtyard, and he curiously moved closer.

At that moment, he saw everyone gathered around the bicycle, watching it.

Xu Damao asked everyone with some confusion.

"Whose bicycle is this?"

Sha Zhu said to Xu Damao with a hint of smugness.

"mine.".

When Xu Damao heard Sha Zhu's words, he was surprised.

"your?".
