"Young … Young Master! I … I know I'm wrong! "
After sending Wang Renbiao and Leng Yuyao off, Li Zexuan returned to the main hall. He glanced at Song Xiaosi indifferently and then sat down at the side without saying a word.
Song Xiaosi's heart was flustered and he felt uncomfortable all over. He trembled as he came over, cupped his hands, and bowed.
"Didn't Steward Fu tell you that everything about Liuli is a secret of the workshop?"
Li Zexuan took a sip of water and asked.
"Young … Young Master, Steward Fu said that I … I was in a hurry, so … so …"
Song Xiaosi hurriedly explained.
"Hmph! A secret is a secret. Under no circumstances can you reveal the secrets of the workshop. If you can't keep it a secret, then there will be no place for you in the workshop in the future. Because you will harm the interests of all the workers in the workshop! "
Li Zexuan said coldly.
"Bang!"
After hearing that, Song Xiaosi was so frightened that his legs turned to jelly. With a "bang", he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with a pale face.
"Young Master, I know I'm wrong. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me this time. Don't chase me out of the workshop!"
Only those who had stayed in the workshop knew how good it was inside.
Song Xiaosi's hometown was in a village outside Chang 'an City. Previously, he had been working as a waiter in a restaurant in Chang' an City. Every day, he had to smile and flatter. If he was unlucky, he would be scolded by the shopkeeper. Moreover, he was paid very little.
Ever since he entered the workshop, not only did his monthly salary increase, but there were also very few people who would find trouble with him for no reason. Every time he returned to the village, the villagers would always cast envious gazes at him. This was because the owner of the workshop he was working in was Li Zexuan, the person who invented the curved plough. He was the great benefactor of all the villagers!
In the workshop, Song Xiaosi could gain money, happiness, and dignity. How could he bear to leave? At this moment, he was so regretful that he wanted to slap himself.
Li Zexuan looked at Song Xiaosi expressionlessly. It was not that he was cold-blooded, but he had to follow the rules. Song Xiaosi had always been Ma Zhou and Faubert's right-hand man in the workshop. Correspondingly, he knew a lot of things. If Li Zexuan did not scare him now, sooner or later, things would get out of hand.
About a quarter of an hour later, Song Xiaosi felt like a year had passed. The sweat dripping from his forehead mixed with the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, Li Zexuan finally opened his mouth.
"Get up. I'll give you one more chance. However, if there's a next time, you'll have to leave the workshop on your own! In addition, half of your salary for this month will be deducted as punishment! "
At the end of the day, Li Zexuan was still a little soft-hearted and could not be ruthless.
"Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master! I'll definitely remember this lesson and never do it again! "
Song Xiaosi heard this and let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he was ecstatic and grateful.
As long as he could continue to work in the workshop, he was willing to have his salary deducted for two months, let alone half a month! He believed that anyone would be able to make up for it.
"Well, now let's talk about what Faubert asked you to do! Could it be that the workshop has produced colored glaze? "
Li Zexuan nodded and asked.
"Yes, young master. Master Chang Gui and the others produced glass in the afternoon. Manager Fu asked me to invite you to the workshop to have a look!"
Song Xiaosi stood up, wiped away his sweat and tears, and quickly answered.
"Well, very good! Then come with me to have a look! "
…
"Young master, you're here?"
In the workshop of the Strange Interest Pavilion.
Faubert received a message from a servant and quickly came out to greet him.
"Well, Faubert, did you stay up late last night? I've already told you that your health is more important. You don't have to worry about the glass. Why didn't you listen to me? "
Li Zexuan looked at Faubert's complexion and knew that he must have stayed up late last night, so he tried to persuade him.
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, young master. Actually, I didn't stay up late last night. Even if you asked me to stay up late, I couldn't stand it! I'm old, I'm old! Chang Gui and the others didn't sleep at all last night to produce the glass. Fortunately, God rewards those who work hard. This afternoon, they produced the glass. Young master, do you want to go and have a look? "
Although Uncle Fu had two dark circles under his eyes, his expression was slightly excited. Clearly, he knew very well how much wealth it would bring him if he could produce colored glass.
"Well, of course, I'll go and have a look!"
Li Zexuan had always attached great importance to these skilled old craftsmen. They were the key executors of the workshop's products leading the way in this era. It was very necessary to pay them a visit.
Following Faubert to an earthen porcelain kiln in the depths of the workshop, Faubert introduced, "Young master, this used to be used to produce porcelain. Yesterday, you said that you wanted to produce glass, so I had people modify this kiln and use it to produce glass!"
Li Zexuan nodded and smiled. "Well, this is pretty good!"
How could porcelain make as much money as glass? Li Zexuan was well aware of the situation.
"Chang Gui, Yongfu, An Hua, the boss is here to see you!"
Walking into the kiln, oh, it should be called the glass kiln now, Faubert shouted to the three dusty craftsmen inside.
Li Zexuan felt a wave of heat and dust hitting his face. He quickly covered his mouth and nose and unbuttoned his clothes to cool down.
"Oh, the boss is here? Greetings, boss! "
"Greetings, boss!"
The three craftsmen inside heard Faubert's voice and turned to look at the door. Seeing that Li Zexuan had come personally, they quickly put down their work and ran over, bowing to Li Zexuan.
"Oh, no need to be so courteous, no need to be so courteous. The three of you have worked hard!"
Li Zexuan gave up on covering his mouth and nose. Otherwise, others would think that he disliked them.
"The three of you have contributed greatly to the workshop's production of glass. In our workshop, those who contribute should be rewarded. Faubert, in the future, the workshop will take out a sum of money to reward those who make breakthroughs in the workshop's original techniques. This time, each of the three craftsmen will be rewarded with two hundred strings of string of cash!"
Li Zexuan continued. This was something he had thought about a long time ago. With great rewards, there would definitely be brave men. This was the only way to encourage everyone in the workshop to strive for technological advancement and innovation. The workshop would also be able to earn more money.
"Boss, this … this can't be done!"
Upon hearing that Li Zexuan was going to reward each of them with two hundred strings of cash, Chang Gui, Yongfu, and An Hua paled in fright and froze on the spot. Chang Gui was the first to react.
"Boss, you were the one who came up with the method of firing the colored glaze. We just followed your instructions and did it step by step. We really didn't contribute anything. This old man is ashamed to accept these two hundred strings of cash!"
