Chapter 462 Turns out to be relatives
A few years ago, I followed my mother to a relative’s house for a banquet. It was still a small fishing village at that time, but I didn’t expect it to have changed so much now.
He asked people about the shell craft shop in the commercial street. The store manager was Aunt Wang, the mother-in-law of boatman Sister Tang.
Sun Dayong didn't dare to say directly that he was applying for a job, so he came in and saw that this place was for making shell crafts.
It's cute and not difficult.
After walking around in a circle, Sun Dayong asked: "Hello, are we hiring jade workers here?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang looked up and looked at Sun Dayong, "Young man, are you here to apply for a job as a jade carving master?"
Sun Dayong nodded and replied: "Yes, even though I am young, I am very good at craftsmanship. This is a pendant I made with leftover materials."
After speaking, Sun Dayong handed over his work, which was a round and round gourd.
Although simple, it has fullness, color, shape, and spirituality.
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "That's good. However, I'm not applying for you. Please wait a moment and I'll call and ask the boss to come over."
Sun Dayong replied: "Thank you very much."
Han Xiaorui received a call from Aunt Wang, rode her bicycle over, took out her key, and opened the door of the shop next door.
"Come in, let's have an interview here." Han Xiaorui smiled and asked Sun Dayong to come in.
Han Xiaorui pointed to a small jade carving machine placed at the door, "Sun Dayong, I don't do high-end jade here at this stage. The water there is too deep, and I don't understand it, so I can't play with it."
"I want to open a shop specializing in snail jade and jade crafts. I also fished snail jade from the sea, process it into various keychains and other handicrafts, and then sell them to tourists."
"The things tourists buy must be genuine, so this is a processing workshop that everyone can see. The two rooms next door are used for sales. I use machine processing instead of manual polishing, and the speed is required."
Sun Dayong listened carefully to Han Xiaorui's request and felt that he was capable, "Then I will make a few for you now and you can see. If it works, let's discuss the salary."
Han Xiaorui nodded, "Okay, pay attention to safety."
Sun Dayong quickly dug out a few raw snail jade stones, turned on the machine, and was about to start processing.
"Wait!" Han Xiaorui stopped Sun Dayong who was about to start working, took out a dust mask from the drawer and handed it to Sun Dayong, "There is dust when processing these, you'd better wear a dust mask, otherwise the dust will reach Not only will your lungs feel uncomfortable, but over time, you will also become sick.”
Sun Dayong was stunned. The master had bought some masks before, but his wife said it was a waste of money and wouldn't let him buy them after they were used up.
He and his senior brother were still young, which was fine, but the master now often coughed, and the doctor said it was caused by dust.
But the teacher’s wife said that other families are like this and don’t buy masks.
Sun Dayong was moved and said, "Thank you very much."
Han Xiaorui smiled and said, "Making money is important, but health is more important. Here at my place, we must strictly follow the safety production requirements and not be careless."
"Okay, I'll remember it." When Sun Dayong heard this, he wanted to stay and work here even more. At least people are treated as human beings here.
Sun Dayong began to polish the snail jade with skillful techniques.
It’s impossible to be unskilled!
Learn from the master, you will not be paid, but you will be in charge of the food. If it goes bad, there will be no food.
Under such pressure, Sun Dayong and his senior brothers were very good at craftsmanship and had a high yield rate.
In just four or five minutes, a snail jade was carved out. It was crystal clear, plump and innocent.
Han Xiaorui saw that the conches made by Sun Dayong showed their best characteristics according to each different form.
In this way, the snail jade produced will be different.
Just for this one, Han Xiaorui knew that Sun Dayong was good at his craftsmanship.
In about fifteen minutes, Sun Dayong did three in a row, very fast.
Han Xiaorui immediately said, "Okay, you passed the interview. What are your salary requirements?"
Sun Dayong thought for a while, "My home is in the city. I take a bus and have to transfer. It takes two hours one way. In addition to the minimum salary of 70 yuan a month, I also hope to be able to provide food and accommodation."
Han Xiaorui thought for a while, "Let's do this. You rent a house in Jinshan Bay and the rent will be reimbursed to you. As for eating, you can eat with Aunt Wang next door, and I will subsidize her food expenses."
"As for the basic salary, I will give you forty yuan a month, but if you make snail jade with this level of craftsmanship, I will give you a commission of two cents. The more you do, the more commission you will get. If you do less, How about getting a small commission? ”
Hearing this, Sun Dayong couldn't believe it, "Mr. Han, if I can make a hundred in a day, will I really get 20 yuan a day in commission?"
Han Xiaorui nodded, "Yes. But commissions and wages are paid at the end of the month. If your family has financial difficulties, I can give you a basic salary of 40 yuan first. Is that okay?"
"Okay, that's great." Sun Dayong said with a smile, "I have a relative in Jinshan Bay. I'll buy some things, go visit her, and ask her to rent a house for me."
Han Xiaorui was curious and asked: "Who are your relatives in Jinshan Bay?"
Sun Dayong replied: "My great-aunt, others call her Aunt Cai, and my son Cai Xueqin, I call him cousin. When my cousin gave birth to a son, my mother and I came to sit at the table!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xiaorui couldn't laugh or cry, "It's true, my family doesn't recognize my family anymore. Aunt Cai is my godmother. Let's go, pack your things, and come to my mother's house with me."
Sun Dayong was also stunned, "I'm ashamed to say that the efficiency of my parents' factory has not been good in recent years, and the welfare benefits are not high. My parents are too embarrassed to visit relatives. On the contrary, my great-aunts send shrimps and kelp to my family every year. .”
Nowadays, state-owned factories cannot keep up with their management and are not well-run, resulting in poor profitability, and it may not be easy for two-employee workers to live well.
Han Xiaorui nodded, allowing his godmother to continue sending kelp and shrimp every year, which proved that this family is really good at dealing with people.
The lack of travel is really due to the deterioration of economic conditions.
"We are all relatives, let's go home." Han Xiaorui replied, "The basic salary is as you said, seventy, and the commission is still two cents."
Sun Dayong waved his hands quickly and said with a panic, "Sister Han, if you are like this, then I will have no shame in continuing to work here. We are relatives, and work is work. The basic salary is forty yuan and a commission of two cents. , already very good.”
Seeing this, Han Xiaorui nodded, "Okay, do your best, and I will give you a bonus from now on."
Sun Dayong followed Han Xiaorui to Aunt Cai's house, leaving only two cents to take the bus and the rest to buy snacks and cans.
"Actually, there's no need to be so polite. Godmother doesn't lack these things." Han Xiaorui stopped her.
Sun Dayong chuckled, "My aunt has it, it belongs to her, but as a junior, I can't come empty-handed. Originally, I had to go regardless of whether the interview was successful or not, and my mother also told me."
