Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 94 New Things

Because Shen Yangyang was too young, she was arranged to stand next to the water pump. When they needed water, she just had to help pump the water.

But Shen Qingqing can only do so much to help.

Because the main task was to clean two porcelain kilns, Shen Qingqing could only replace the water for them with clean water.

After working for nearly two hours, the two kilns finally reached usable standards.

Li Xunli took a look and breathed slightly, "Alright, let's do this for now. Manyu, go to my aunt's porcelain kiln and get some fire starters. Let's fire up two porcelain kilns."

Chen Manyu nodded, took the key handed to him by Li Xunli, and ran over there quickly.

Not long after, he came back with what he needed.

"Aunt Li, let me do it!" Chen Manyu took the initiative to ask to light the porcelain kiln.

This was not a difficult task, and Li Xunli did not refuse. She nodded and stepped back, letting Chen Manyu do it.

Because this porcelain kiln had not been used for a long time and had just been cleaned with a wet towel, it was very humid, so Chen Manyu had a little difficulty in lighting the fire at first.

In the end, I had to light the firewood outside first and then put it in.

Both kilns must be operated in the same way to successfully ignite.

The moment the fire started, the air was instantly filled with a mixed smell of mold and burning.

Shen Yangyang immediately covered her nose with both hands.

It smells terrible, not stinky, but it is definitely irritating.

Seeing that the firewood in the two porcelain kilns had burned out, Chen Manyu half-crawled in to check.

He quickly came out again, "Okay, no problem, it can be used tomorrow!"

Chen Manyu looked at Li Xunli happily and said.

Li Xunli patted the carbon dust on his body and said, "Okay, let's go back first. Do you want to eat lunch or noodles for lunch today?"

Chen Manyu thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine with either. It depends on what Sister Qingqing wants to eat."

Shen Qingqing took Shen Yangyang's hand and walked out, saying, "How about fried rice? It has sausage and cabbage."

"Okay, let's eat fried rice!" Li Xunli made the decision.

Li Xunli and Chen Manyu returned to the porcelain kiln to continue making corsages and buttons, because after the previous batch was delivered, Wu Jingyuan gave them several new corsage designs and three waist button designs.

Chen Manyu can now make porcelain corsages independently. Even if it is a new style of corsage, he just needs a little time to learn how to make it, and the success rate remains the same.

So Li Xunli spent some time teaching Chen Manyu how to make a new corsage pattern. After that, the teacher and student made a plate and then handed it over to Chen Manyu.

Li Xunli is going to start studying the design of the waist buckle herself.

There are three styles of waist buckle design drawings: simple, ordinary, and complex. The simple ones tend to be grand and simple in style, and are also easier to make. Chen Manyu can learn it at a glance.

The two difficult styles are the ordinary and complex ones. After Li Xunli adjusted the clay proportions, she tried to make the ordinary style.

It took a full forty minutes to make a regular style porcelain blank.

Li Xunli put down her first, ordinary waist buckle and returned to studying the blueprint. If it took too long to make, she wouldn't be willing to take the order. She knew the pricing for the long and short styles of Wu Jingyuan's clothing, and adding an accessory would only add a dozen or twenty yuan. However, she wouldn't get all the money; she would only receive a 20% commission on the sales. The time and effort she put in wasn't worth the reward, so she had to persuade Wu Jingyuan to stop.

Soon, Li Xunli found a new way to make the ordinary version, but even with the new method, the time reduction was only ten minutes, which means that it still took half an hour to make one.

Li Xunli put the two ordinary models aside and studied the complicated one.

You have to do them all to know clearly how much time and energy it will take, so that you can be confident in telling Wu Jingyuan.

By the time it took to make two ordinary waist buckles, Shen Qingqing had already prepared lunch and brought it over.

"Mom! Brother Manyu! It's time for dinner!" Shen Qingqing walked in carrying two thermos buckets, hooked a small stool with one foot and kicked it slowly to the side of Li Xunli.

In the two thermos buckets, one contained cabbage, sausage and egg fried rice, and the other contained white radish and pork ribs soup.

"It smells so good!" Chen Manyu couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw Shen Qingqing opening the thermos of fried rice.

After opening the lid of the bucket, the next task was taken over by her mother who had washed her hands.

When Shen Qingqing was about to leave, she saw the two waist buckles that Li Xunli had placed next to her.

"Hey, Mom, is this the new product that Uncle Jingyuan wants?" Shen Qingqing squatted down and took a closer look.

Li Xunli took a bite of rice, glanced at her, and said affirmatively: "Yes, but it takes too much time to make, it's not cost-effective."

Shen Qingqing nodded: "Is that so, but it looks pretty good."

But what does this thing look like?...

Shen Qingqing looked left and right and thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember.

"Stop looking and go back to eat. Is Yangyang still at home?" Li Xunli urged her.

Shen Qingqing had no choice but to give up thinking and went home at her mother's urging.

After Li Xunli returned home in the evening, she immediately called Wu Jingyuan and told him that the three waist buckles required too much time and cost to make and were not suitable.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jingyuan told her that it was not a waist buckle, nor was it his, but Li Xunjin's.

Li Xunli was very surprised, "What? Why didn't my brother tell me directly?"

"He may have forgotten. Last time, he seemed to be in a hurry to deal with something. Then when he heard me say I was coming to see you, he hurriedly handed it to me and asked me to bring it to you. You can ask Xun Jinbei. I'm busy here. I'm hanging up first!" After saying that, Wu Jingyuan hung up the phone.

Shen Qing came out after washing the dishes and just happened to hear it. She leaned over and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Li Xunli was about to dial Li Xunjin when she heard him reply, "I just told your uncle Jingyuan about the thing you saw this afternoon. He actually said it wasn't his, but your uncle wanted it, and it wasn't a waist buckle."

After listening to what Li Xunli said, a light bulb went off in Shen Qingqing's mind, and she finally remembered what the thing she saw this afternoon looked like!

It’s the decoration on the porcelain tea plate!

Could it be that her uncle is going to open a business line of tea gift boxes?

If the tea gift box business line can be opened up, maybe we can also develop an overseas sales line like Zhang Zeqin's company!

　See you tomorrow night~
