Chapter 32
Cylinder Tile Factory.

During the lunch break, Deng Changyuan, who has been promoted from "mud treading apprentice" to "mud treading master", is learning to make a large vat from his younger brother Deng Yuntai.

Although the mud trampling master's salary of two yuan a day is already extremely enviable in this day and age.But as the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Compared with a vat master who can earn seven or eight yuan a day, the salary of a mud-treading master is naturally not worth mentioning.

In the cylinder tile factory, the wages of mud pickers and mud treading masters, which are unskilled or low-skilled jobs, are basically fixed.

Only truly skilled jobs such as making large goods and making small goods do not have fixed wages, but use piece rates to calculate wages.

For example, a large vat master can earn a commission of 0.75 yuan to 1.5 yuan for making a large vat. The commission price varies greatly because it is determined based on the vats of different specifications.

There are more than ten types of vats, including wide vats, water vats, sugar vats, oil vats, gold vats, and hemp waist vats.

Among them, the Guangtan vat is a truly large vat that can hold seven to eight hundred kilograms of grain, making it the king of vats.

In the entire Bobai County, only Wendi Commune can make such a king vat. It’s not that the big vat masters in other places don’t have that skill, but that the vat masters must use specific soil to make them, otherwise they will have No matter how awesome the technology is, it can’t be done.

At present, the kind of soil suitable for making wide jars cannot be found in the entire Shuangwang Realm, so Deng Shirong and his cylinder tile factory do not make wide jars.

The one that can get a commission of 1.5 yuan is the sugar vat second only to the wide vat. The standard sugar vat is two feet high, with a five-foot base, a two-foot waist, and a six-foot mouth. It can hold [-] to [-] kilograms of grain.

The height of the oil tank is two feet two, the base is two feet, the waist is one foot eight inches five, and the mouth is one foot three. It can hold about three hundred kilograms of grain. The commission for one oil cylinder is 1.3 yuan.

Then the commission for the large water tank is 1.1 yuan, the commission for the small water tank is 9 cents, the commission for the hemp waist tank is 7 cents...

Although the vat tile factory has only been in operation for more than half a month, the vat master naturally knows how much goods he has made and how much commission he will receive.

As Deng Changyuan was Deng Yuntai's childhood friend, Deng Yuntai naturally wouldn't hide it from him. After hearing this, he was so stimulated that he wished he could become a vat master immediately.

……

As the ceiling of the vat factory's technology, the large vat is naturally not easy to learn. Today is the first time to teach. Deng Yuntai did not directly demonstrate the operation, but explained the production process of the vat to Fa Xiao in detail.

The large vat blank cannot be made in one day, because it is made of mud, and the wet mud is completely unstressed. If it is squeezed a little higher, it will not be able to withstand it and collapse.

Therefore, the cylinder blank must be made step by step. The bottom of the cylinder is made first, and the mud is semi-dried and has a certain hardness before continuing to the upper part.

There are many key technical nodes in this process, such as the mud should not be too wet or too dry, and there should not be any air at the joint at the bottom of the tank, otherwise it will easily fall off.

Moreover, when the cylinder blank is halfway done, it needs to be turned over to dry. This clay thing can be said to be broken at the touch. It requires the cooperation of two people who have a tacit understanding, because the force of turning the cylinder blank needs to be just right, and the force is not enough. Or if you use excessive force, the cylinder will be in vain!

These techniques have been gradually perfected by generations of people based on their own experience and those of their predecessors. Without the guidance of a master, if you have to explore alone, you will probably never be able to make a qualified vat in your lifetime.

For Deng Changyuan, a young man, Deng Yuntai had no secrets and broke down all these key technologies and told him about them.

When he was almost finished, Deng Yuntai said: "A Yuan, you should write down these core techniques for making large tanks first, and learn the theory first. I will then demonstrate it to you, and then let you practice it yourself. As long as you study hard, , I believe you can become a vat master next year!”

Deng Changyuan felt excited after hearing this. In the rural areas of this era, being able to become a vat master was very impressive. To put it bluntly, girls from all over the country could choose at will.

Therefore, Deng Changyuan nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Artai, I will definitely study hard and strive to become a vat master like you as soon as possible."

……

In a blink of an eye, the time came to the end of June.After handing over the public grain and dividing the grain, the production team cadres began to count the number of people in each household and prepare to divide the first batch of fields.

Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying had already registered, and their wedding invitations had been sent out long ago, so they were naturally included in the statistics.

After the head count was completed, on the afternoon of June [-], all members of the Naye production team gathered at the brigade, and then the first batch of fields was allocated by drawing lots.

Deng Shirong had already experienced this process of dividing the land once in his previous life, and the scene at that time was still vivid in his mind even after decades.

Deng Shirong still remembers that he was full of expectations at that time, even though he was a vat master and contracted a vat and tile factory, and did not rely entirely on farming to make a living.

But fields are the roots of rural people. Who can resist the temptation of fields?
Even though most people in later generations no longer farm, they still care about their fields and generally will not sell them.

Unless you add money!

……

Although the vast majority of members hope to divide their fields and work alone, a small number of members are opposed to it.

There are also some members who want to refuse to admit their mistakes because they got a bad lottery.

However, it is the general trend to divide the fields and work alone. Even if there are various problems during the implementation process, it will not affect the results.

There were eight members in Deng Shirong's family. The first batch of fields was divided into two parts of three acres, or four parts of land per person.

Perhaps because the time of drawing lots after rebirth was different, the land assigned to Deng Shirong's family was also different from that in the previous life and became better.

Deng Shirong didn't care about this. It didn't matter to him whether the fields were fertile or not.

What concerned him was that from now on, he no longer had to work as a production team.

……

After the fields were divided, each household began to busy planting rice seedlings. As for the rice seedlings, the production team naturally assigned them to everyone.

After dividing their fields in the previous life, Deng Shirong's family's enthusiasm for farming was unprecedentedly high. The whole family, old and young, joined in and worked enthusiastically.

And the efforts paid off, and their family had a bumper harvest that year.

In this life, in order to motivate children to study, Deng Shirong proposed a monetary reward law and allowed them to not have to work.

The eldest son works in a tile factory, and the only ones working in the family are Deng Shirong and his two daughters.

Therefore, Deng Shirong in this life does not intend to farm anymore!

Of course, not farming does not mean that the fields will be abandoned. You can lend the fields to others for planting. After harvesting, in addition to paying public grain, you will be given a certain amount of grain. I believe many people in the village will be interested.

As for whom to lend the seeds to, Deng Shirong thought of a suitable candidate.
