Chapter 178 I suggest you read more
Frederick: “Are you kidding me?”
Schmidt: “We all do this.”
Benz: "It's much more convenient to do this."
Frederick stood in front of the punch press and watched in confusion as the worker put a long piece of steel aside on the black magic circle to corrode. Then put it into a punch machine to press out the chain plate of the roller chain.
This kind of corruption magic is generally used to deal with iron cans. It can greatly reduce the strength of the object before the dark element dissipates. A skilled user can even break the bones of people and animals at a touch. In a certain type of Frederick, now In the novel that I haven't read yet, a more skilled user can instantly decay the clothes of a female knight or a female mage without harming anyone.
Schmidt explained to the principal: "The materials used in these chains are very strong steel. If it does not corrode, we need to increase the power of the punch. It is still difficult for us to do that at present."
< br>Frederick thought so, and in this way, metal processing would be much simpler and the efficiency would be greatly improved.
He watched from the side as the young worker fed the steel bar into the punch press little by little. As the punch fell, the punched out parts fell into the basket below and were then sent to the next process.
After the one-meter-long steel bar was processed, Frederick said to the workers and Benz: "The punch press is very dangerous. The last bit of material is wasted when feeding. Don't waste your fingers. I just said I broke out in a cold sweat.”
When the worker was feeding the material for the last time, his finger was less than five millimeters away from the punch. Frederick wanted to remind him but was afraid of being frightened, so he trembled and stretched his hand forward, holding his breath for a long time.
Benz replied immediately: "I will make arrangements immediately."
Frederick nodded and said to Schmidt: "You still have to think more about safety matters."
Schmidt naturally agreed.
At this time the worker said: "Sir, boss, I have a way to cut the material without using hands."
At this time, Benz glared at the worker and said unhappily: "Work hard and get paid in a few days and go home to celebrate the New Year. Don't always think about it."
After finishing speaking He looked at Frederick cautiously, fearing that the master would be angry, but found that he was glared at by the master.
Frederick ignored Benz and asked the worker kindly: "What is your name? Where are you from? How long have you been working here?"
After the worker was stared at by the boss A little timid, he answered cautiously: "My name is Hoffmann. I come from Franken. My sister works in the kitchen here. I came to join her this spring."
Benz is in A side explained in detail: "The 'Old Birch' who often sells wood to us found a woman who was his sister when he was passing through Franconia two years ago. Old Birch often ran out and was not at home, so he let My mother-in-law came here to work in the kitchen. He came here in the spring, so I asked him to do this job because of the lack of manpower. He did a good job, but he was very whimsical.”
Frederick nodded, thinking that this was a common scenario in novels where the protagonist pretends to be in front of the boss and slaps the villain in the face while getting the boss's approval. However, he is the boss and this Hoffman is the protagonist. Benz took the villain script, and maybe Schmidt, the technician, took the script to assist the protagonist.
He smiled and said to Benz first: "If you want to invite Bryant to drink when you have time, just say it was me and tell him what happened today. If you still don't understand, Then...then you don’t have to understand.”
Then he patted Hoffman on the shoulder and said, “It’s good to have an idea. Think about it carefully and see if there is anything that needs to be improved. "
After saying that, he ignored the pale Benz and the somewhat disappointed Hoffman, turned and left.
The first snow this winter just fell this morning. Several people were shoveling the snow to the side of the road on the road outside the factory.
Schmidt followed Frederick and asked curiously: "Principal, why don't you listen to the worker's method?"
Frederick looked at the clouds in the sky that had not yet dissipated. , said calmly: "The road we are taking is like a long-distance race. Some of the people on the starting line with us fall behind, and some drop out halfway."
"The things ahead are too great. It’s too difficult. I don’t have time to look back, and I don’t have the energy to go back and help someone.”
“Some people fall behind, not because they run slowly, but because they are running ahead. Once this position is vacant, someone will fill it."
After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath and walked silently to the workshop where the axles were made.
Schmidt followed behind and understood what was going on. He could only blame Benz for being in the wind.
After finally surviving until the afternoon, Benz took a carriage and left the carriage factory and entered the city.
The city wall of Weisenburg Castle is particularly spectacular today. There is a person hanging on one of the crenels. The people are lining up from the city gate to both sides, which makes people feel like they can’t see the end of the city.
Many people gathered under the city wall. Many people identified them one by one. When they found where the person they were looking for was hanging, they threw stones as hard as they could.
Not long after, Bryant also got off work early and entered the city. Following the message from the person sent by Benz, he came to an ordinary-looking restaurant.
This restaurant mainly sells barbecue. It has been open for more than a hundred years and has always had a good reputation among locals. Recently, the store tried out the new barbecue ingredients given by the master. It is said that they are made with spices from the south. The barbecue tastes much better than before.
Today, a small restaurant was reserved by Benz. It only took out food and did not dine in. The regular customers recognized this famous carpenter in the territory, and many people joked whether he was having a tryst. lover.
Bryant smelled the smell of roasted whole lamb as soon as he entered the store, but he did not sit down and asked Benz first: "Is it something related to Johnny?"
The restaurant owner raised his head and glanced at the two of them behind the counter. He was also an old man in the city of Weissenburg, so he naturally recognized the famous subordinates in the Weissenburg family, including the blacksmith Bryant, the carpenter Benz, and the family businessman Janis. They are all regular customers of the store.
Nowadays, everyone in the local area knows that Johnny, who has become the Territory's Minister of Commerce, has recently been involved in the gangsters hanging on the city wall, but the gentleman is kind-hearted and has not dealt with it publicly.
Benz immediately shook his head and said: "It's none of his business. You also know that he and I don't deal with each other. He stuffed the rotten wood into the wood several times and brought it to me. Because Nina would still be the head maid. I was the one who made the false accusation."
"My master asked me to treat you to a drink today. I seem to have messed up the matter in the factory."
Bryant relaxed after hearing this. After taking a breath, he sat down opposite him, picked up the just-filled wine glass and took a sip of beer before saying: "[Wesson District expletive], I thought you and Janis were in cahoots and were discovered. Ask me to give it to you." I'm interceding with the master."
"[Weisen District swear word], a few years ago, Master Afu told Johnny not to get too close to those rats in the gutter. He was greedy for the money. I didn’t listen.”
"It's better now. The master is in charge. I caught the mouse and dealt with him too. I heard that if Nina hadn't gone to the master to cry for a day, he would be hanging on the city wall now."
At this time, the restaurant owner and his wife brought up a roasted whole lamb and other side dishes. Benz cut a large piece of meat from the lamb leg for Bryant and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore. He himself The path I chose."
"Something happened to me today. I was spoken harshly by the master. Please help me find out what happened."
Bryant. He frowned and said, "Let's talk about it. It might not be a big deal. It's just that the master was angry and it happened to you."
Benz sighed and told what happened to Hoffman today. Again.
Bryant listened while eating. After the other person finished talking, he also finished the lamb leg on the plate, so he cut the lamb tail and a ring of meat around it and put it on his plate.
"You did do something wrong." He took a sip of beer and said while eating. "You have been working on the carriage for too long and failed to keep up with the master's ideas. Moreover, what you did today is exactly what the master did. On the contrary, and in front of outsiders, it is not an exaggeration to say that he slapped the master in the face. "
He said it in an understatement, but Benz was so frightened that he dropped the knife and fork in his hand.
These craftsmen who serve the Wesson family naturally understand what aristocratic authority is, and they also understand the consequences of offending authority. With just a look from the master, they can blow the wind on the wall, and the court will help find a reason.
"What...what should I do?" Benz was about to cry.
"Don't worry, drink some wine first and think about it slowly." Bryant said calmly, "You just know that you made the master angry now, but do you know why the master is angry?"
Ben Ci quickly forced herself to calm down and recalled what happened in the morning, but she couldn't figure out where she went wrong.
Bryant was not in a hurry, picked up a piece of golden pumpkin bread, smeared it with bright red ketchup, and put a few green vegetable leaves on it, which was both beautiful and refreshing.
After he finished eating a few slices of bread and drank half a glass of beer, he saw that Benz still had no clue, so he cut some roast mutton and ate it while saying: "Today's matter is at my place. Like what's that one called... Oh, there are a lot of young guys from Hoffman. They just like to think about this and that."
"As for me, I just let them express their thoughts. , try it if you think it’s feasible.”
Benz asked with some confusion: "You just let them do whatever they want?"
Bryant replied with a smile: "Where we are, once those new ideas are used, the maximum reward is 20 florins. .”
Bentz took a sip of beer to calm down.
Bryant continued: "I remember that Schmidt was with you recently. I suggest you talk more with him and those students. They understand my thoughts best."
"By the way, have you read Master's "Factory Management Manual"?"
Benz shook his head.
Bryant said with an expression that was indeed true: "It's time to read more books. It's not like before, when you can just do the work with a few apprentices. You have to use your brain more, like a commander." Command your men like an army."
Bentz nodded thoughtfully.
