Travel through the famine years with your space, and become the richest man in five countries with your children Chapter 156 The Prototype of Technical School
There are indeed carpenters among the refugees, and they are the kind who can carve.
Shen Qingyu looked at the carpenter named Zhang Dingshan, who was in his fifties, with some regret.
How much can one person do?
She took out a picture she drew: "Can you make this style?"
Zhang Dingshan looked at it carefully for a while and nodded decisively: "No problem."
"How many can you make in a day?"
Zhang Dingshan was in a dilemma: "If you want to do it carefully, you can do up to three per day."
After all, carving is not that simple.
Shen Qingyu thought for a moment: "What if that's the case..."
Following Shen Qingyu's explanation, Zhang Dingshan nodded again: "If we do this, we can make ten in a day."
Still too slow.
Shen Qingyu thought for a while and asked Zhang Dingshan: "If you lead an apprentice and only learn to do this, how long will it take for the apprentice to complete it?"
Carpenter Zhang Dingshan was a little dumbfounded: "Only learn to do this?"
A carpenter has an apprentice, but he has to learn how to make many things.
Which carpenter has an apprentice who only learns to make one thing?
Zhang Dingshan doesn’t understand.
Shen Qingyu nodded affirmatively: "Yes! It was just called this at first. The size may be different, but it's basically this."
"If you do this, you can become a disciple in a month."
"That's it."
Shen Qingyu's eyes fell on Chen San: "Please go and ask among the refugees who are willing to learn to make this kind of wooden box. If you are willing, after the apprentice comes out, you can make a wooden box like this for ten cents." Ten cents for a wooden box?
Then if you can make ten in a day, wouldn’t it be...a hundred coins?!
After Zhang Dingshan understood how to pick his fingers, his eyes lit up.
God, if you could make a hundred cents a day, how easy would your life be?
This is much better than farming!
Zhang Dingshan doesn’t want to teach students now, he just wants to make wooden boxes!
Shen Qingyu laughed: "You are the master. If you can bring out a qualified student, I will give you a tael of silver."
Zhang Dingshan was nervous and confused: "...how much money is that month?"
"If you can bring out ten such students a month, you can have ten taels of silver."
Zhang Dingshan picked his fingers again. If Shen Qingyu hadn't been in front of him, he would have wanted to use his toes as well.
After watching him dig for a long time and still not getting it clear, Qi Yunxiao couldn't help but tell him: "If you only make wooden boxes, you can earn one hundred cents a day and three taels of silver a month."
"If you bring out ten disciples a month, you can earn ten taels of silver, which is much more cost-effective than immersing yourself in work."
Zhang Dingshan's eyes brightened: "I am willing to take over as a disciple!"
Shen Qingyu saw this and couldn't help laughing and sighed: It's really troublesome not to know arithmetic!
Zhang Dingshan followed Chen San and went to the back mountain with great excitement to find someone.
Shen Qingyu began to think about it: Where should we ask them to make wooden boxes?
It would not be good if everyone went to that yard.
If the sawdust from sawing wood flies into the soap liquid, it will be very troublesome.
Making wooden boxes requires a separate workshop.
Shen Qingyu looked at Qi Yunxiao, and Qi Yunxiao understood instantly: "Are we going to build the workshop again?"
Shen Qingyu suddenly had a bold idea: "Do you think it would be okay to build the carpentry workshop next door to the private school?"
"What did you say?" Qi Yunxiao was stunned.
Is it really appropriate to have a woodworking room that creaks every day next door to where the children are studying?
Can children focus on learning?
Shen Qingyu chuckled and explained: "I think so, if we can ask them to study for half a day every day and learn to do carpentry for half a day, wouldn't that work?"
This is a typical part-time job!
The 21st century technical school is about to open!
The more Shen Qingyu thought about it, the more excited she became, and her eyes turned hot when she looked at Qi Yunxiao.
Qi Yunxiao came here from studying, and after thinking about it in his mind, he felt a little moved.
"It's really hard to study every day. If you can learn to read and count for half a day, and then do other things for half a day, you can still make money. I think many older children will be willing to do it."
Shen Qingyu slapped her hands: "That's it! Let's go back and ask who is willing to come."
"Then build two more classrooms." Shen Qingyu stood up and walked out.
Qi Yunxiao had no choice but to stop her: "Didn't you say you were looking for a blacksmith? The blacksmith is here, and you want to run away again?"
Why is my wife so impatient?
Never noticed it before!
Oh yes, there is also a blacksmith.
Shen Qingyu hurriedly called the blacksmith in and handed over another picture: "Can you knock out two of these things?"
The blacksmith took the drawing and looked at it carefully: "This is not difficult."
Shen Qingyu felt relieved: "Follow these two tricks and give me twenty of each."
"It's done."
The blacksmith readily agreed.
After the two parties agreed on the delivery time and price, Shen Qingyu sent the blacksmith away and looked at Qi Yunxiao.
"Who else should I see?"
The confused look on his face made Qi Yunxiao dumbfounded.
He stepped forward and took Shen Qingyu's hand: "Don't you want to find Uncle Li Zheng? Then I will go with you."
The two of them walked towards the sweet potato flour workshop.
Uncle Li Zheng was also surprised when he heard from Shen Qingyu that two more private school classrooms would be built: "Are we so many children willing to study?"
Shen Qingyu told Uncle Li Zheng about the idea of opening a technical school.
Uncle Li Zheng's eyes widened: "You mean, they go to school, study for half a day, and do work for half a day, and they can still earn fifty wages for a day's work?"
Shen Qingyu nodded: "Theoretically, this is the case..."
So Shen Qingyu talked about the soap trading situation again.
Uncle Li Zheng's eyes widened even more when he heard this.
"How can those three rooms be enough? Even if you give us three more rooms, they may not be enough..." Uncle Li Zheng slapped his thigh, looking excited.
Who wouldn’t want to go to such a good thing!
The sweet potato flour workshop is now in operation. All the problems encountered at the beginning have been solved and it is finally on the right track.
Those who sell sweet potatoes and those who make sweet potato vermicelli all make money. Everyone is so happy.
Now there is a new business.
Soap makers need it too.
All the reliable strong laborers in the village went to work in the sweet potato flour workshop, but there were also many women!
Mother-in-laws who have time at home can definitely go to the sweet potato workshop to do some detailed work.
People who make wooden boxes are also needed.
There is a master who teaches you how to make a wooden box. If you finish it well, you can earn from fifty to one hundred yuan a day...
This is too tempting!
Where are we still living through lean years?
The people of Shenjia Village want to get rich in the lean years!
Uncle Li Zheng nodded repeatedly: "This can be done."
Seeing that he was too excited, Shen Qingyu quickly explained: "There are only dozens of people who make wooden boxes. The rest will study first, and when we have new business, we will do other things...
…”
After all, wooden boxes are used to hold relatively expensive soap. Once the sales of this product reach a certain level, it will be saturated.
Therefore, there won’t be too many people making wooden boxes for the time being.
If everyone thinks that there is an unlimited need and thinks that anyone can do carpentry, then once it is enough for people, those who have not come will be disappointed and resentment will easily arise.
Li Zheng understood. Although he felt a little sorry, he was still happy.
According to Shen Qingyu's ability to come up with new ideas at the same time, I think there will be better ideas in the future and more people will be needed.
The people of Shenjia Village are lucky!
When Uncle Li Zheng was excited, his beard trembled when he spoke: "Qingyu, Shenjia Village is so lucky to have you!"
