In the front hall of the Yan Mansion.
After the two sat down, Li Zexuan asked, "Brother Shaoning, how many scooters have you made?"
He didn't come here just to deliver the blueprint. He was also very concerned about the opening of the Strange Interest Pavilion.
Yan Shaoning smiled proudly and said, "Hehe, Xiao Xuan, you don't trust me? The first batch of three hundred scooters was completed yesterday. We're just waiting for the opening of the Strange Interest Pavilion. "
With his father's current status, it was easy for him to get someone to make some scooters.
Li Zexuan's heart also relaxed. This Yan Shaoning was really direct and efficient, unlike some pedantic scholars who did things indecisively. As an engineering student, he didn't embarrass his fellow engineering students.
"Brother Shaoning, I'm relieved. Otherwise, how can the Strange Interest Pavilion open without products? By the way, Brother Shaoning, have you found the craftsmen for the Strange Interest Pavilion? "
He had asked Yan Shaoning to help him find a group of skilled and honest craftsmen. The Strange Interest Pavilion must have its own workshop in the future. This would be more conducive to keeping secrets and monopolizing the technology.
Yan Shaoning was even more proud when he heard Li Zexuan ask about the craftsmen. He smiled and said,
"Hehe, I wanted to give you a surprise, but since you asked, I'll tell you. After my father found out that I'm working with you on the Strange Interest Pavilion, he gave me one of our previous workshops. In the future, this workshop will be a part of the Strange Interest Pavilion. The craftsmen in the workshop used to work in the General's Office. Their skills are excellent. "
Li Zexuan was really surprised when he heard Yan Shaoning's words. He only asked Yan Shaoning to help him find a few craftsmen. He didn't expect Yan Shaoning to give him a workshop directly. This gift was really precious. Since Yan Shaoning was so generous, Li Zexuan couldn't be stingy. He waved his hand and said generously,
"Brother Shaoning is really kind. I have to thank uncle personally. I'll pay all the craftsmen's salaries in the future."
Yan Shaoning looked at him with a strange expression and couldn't help but say, "The craftsmen in the workshop work for Wonderful Interest Pavilion. Of course you should pay them. Little Xuan, are you planning to let my father continue to pay them?"
Li Zexuan felt that Yan Shaoning's words made sense. He patted his head in annoyance and secretly scolded himself for being a fool.
"Well, Brother Shaoning is right. I've been so busy these two days that I've become muddle-headed. Where is the workshop? Shall we go and take a look? "
Since he already had a workshop, wouldn't it be more convenient for him to let the craftsmen in the workshop make the curved shaft plows?
"The workshop is in An Yi Lane, which is very close to the East Market. It will be very convenient in the future."
Li Zexuan said happily, "That's great. Brother Shaoning, shall we go to the workshop to have a look?"
"Since Little Xuan wants to go and take a look, then Big Brother will respectfully accept!"
…
He followed Yan Shaoning to An Yi Lane. After making several turns and entering a small alley, he saw a relatively large group of courtyards. Although the houses were not luxurious, they occupied a large area. There was a sign hanging above them that read "Strange Interest Pavilion Workshop". Li Zexuan looked at Yan Shaoning in confusion. He didn't expect him to act so quickly.
Yan Shaoning seemed to see the confusion in his eyes. He smiled proudly and said, "My father said that since he gave the workshop to us, of course he had to change the name. This plaque was personally inscribed by my father. What do you think? Many people in Chang 'an can't get my father's calligraphy! "
Although Li Zexuan didn't know much about calligraphy, he could see that the calligraphy was vigorous and powerful. It was hundreds of times better than his own doggy handwriting. He immediately exclaimed in admiration.
He praised in admiration, "Uncle Yan's calligraphy is really good. I owe him such a big favor this time. I must thank him in person someday!"
Yan Shaoning laughed in his heart, "This is the effect I want. When you fall into my father's hands one day, let's see how you can find an excuse to be lazy. Haha!"
But then he said without changing his expression, "Well, Little Xuan, my father is very pleased that you have such good intentions. Let's go in and have a look! "
The two entered the workshop and saw that there were more than 20 rooms inside. There were some empty spaces outside with some wood and iron piled up. Li Zexuan even found a big iron furnace.
The scale of the workshop was really beyond Li Zexuan's expectation. He thought it was just a small workshop, but it was actually equivalent to a small factory. At this moment, Li Zexuan was really moved.
Looking at Li Zexuan's shocked expression, Yan Shaoning introduced it to him.
"Little Xuan, this workshop was built by my father in the Year of Wude Yuan. At that time, it was just a small workshop and my father was only a supervisor. But our Yan Family is a real engineering family and we know many people in the same field. It didn't take long for the workshop to expand gradually and we have more people. Now, there are more than 60 craftsmen in the workshop. Some of them are old craftsmen, such as Faubert, who worked with my father before. Their skills are superb. Little Xuan, you can't mistreat these old craftsmen, or else my father won't forgive you."
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said, "Of course I won't mistreat them. These people will be the foundation of our Strange Taste Pavilion in the future. In the future, their salaries will be increased by 50%!"
Yan Shaoning raised his thumb and laughed, "Haha, brother, you're generous!"
The two of them entered a house and saw an old man dressed like a farmer drilling wood. He should be making a scooter.
"Faubert, are you busy?" Yan Shaoning called out.
The old man turned around and saw Yan Shaoning. He smiled and said, "Oh, Young Master Yan, you're here. This is?"
He pointed at Li Zexuan.
When Li Zexuan heard Yan Shaoning call this person Faubert, he remembered what Yan Shaoning said just now. He knew that this person was an old man in the workshop and couldn't be neglected. He took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Faubert, hello. I'm Li Zexuan, one of the owners of Strange Taste Pavilion. You can call me Little Xuan!"
Faubert raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "You're the one who invented the scooter and the roller bearing?"
Li Zexuan smiled and nodded.
Faubert said in surprise, "I didn't expect that you could come up with such a good idea at such a young age. It seems that we old guys are really old! Haha! "
"What are you talking about, Faubert? As the saying goes, having an old man in the house is like having a treasure. I have a lot of immature ideas in the future, and I need you to guide me!"
Li Zexuan valued these old craftsmen very much. Although their physical strength was not good, their experience was very valuable.
Faubert felt warm in his heart when he heard Li Zexuan's words. This owner was young and talented, but not overbearing. Faubert also had a good impression of him. He stroked his beard and smiled.
"Haha, you're too serious. We old guys just can't stay idle. We have no regrets if we can make one last contribution to the workshop."
"Faubert, you can call me Little Xuan in the future. You're an elder, and I don't deserve it."
"Haha, then I'll call you Little Xuan. Come, Little Xuan, you came at the right time. I was just about to talk to you about your scooter and the bearing."
