Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 8: Professionalism Makes a Difference

The first group of five people
Three of the men were throwing out oddly shaped objects that were completely unrecognizable. They must have miscontrolled the force they were applying, as the high-speed rotation of the potter's wheel destroyed the original shape, rendering the machine unusable.

Finally, the three of them pushed the yellow clay off the potter's wheel and stood up.

At this moment, Master Jin spoke directly to the young staff member, Xiao Li.

"These three are unqualified."

Xiao Li nodded and replied, "Okay, Master Jin."

Then, Xiao Li took the folder and crossed out the names of three unsuccessful applicants on one of the forms.

The three unsuccessful applicants left with sighs after learning the results.

The remaining two also learned of the fate of the other three, and they began to act cautiously.

After all, who wouldn't want to get this job?
Wuxing Ceramics Factory is a state-owned enterprise. Being able to work there is much better than going to the countryside.
And most importantly, they heard that working in a ceramics factory was performance-based.

The skilled chefs there can earn several hundred yuan a month.

of course!

They had only heard about these things.

However, you can only find out about these things once you're inside. If you're outside, you'll never know if the rumors are true.

最后

The remaining two people used the potter's wheel to make bowl-shaped clay figures.

After seeing what they had made, Master Jin, Master Liu, and Master Zhang shook their heads slightly and gave them scores of 3.5 and 4 points respectively.

of course!

This time it's a 10-point system.

The remaining people laughed when they saw what they had made that barely resembled a bowl.

"Hahaha".

"Even if it's done like this, it still gets 4 points."

"I don't think it's that difficult."

As for the three who had just failed and left, they were completely ignored.

Things like pottery throwing may look simple, but they are actually quite difficult to do.

After all, these are all technical jobs.

Otherwise, world-renowned porcelain would not exist.

Next, it was their turn.

When they started working with it, they realized something was wrong. As soon as they applied a little force, the mud in their hands began to shake and deform, eventually turning into a messy, chaotic mess.

When they saw the mud on their hands turn like this, they began to panic.

In their panic, the rapidly spinning mud in their hands flew out and smeared directly onto the faces of the job applicants watching them.

"Holy crap!"

"Why is it smeared on my face?"

"Are you even capable?"

When the others saw this, they immediately burst out laughing.

"have to!".

"It's turned into a flying pancake."

After the guy finished speaking, the others laughed even harder.

After witnessing this scene, the experienced workers immediately spoke to Xiao Li.

"Unqualified".

Xiao Li nodded and immediately crossed out the name of the applicant who had just been hired by the kaolin company.

Four members of their group failed, and the remaining member only scored 2 points.

They're not even as good as the previous group.

Next

It was the turn of the person with connections.

It was only then that Li Feng learned the name of the person with connections; it turned out to be Zhou Jianjun.

Ah!
how to say?

It's a name that fits this era perfectly.

There are quite a few people with this name in this era.

There are many names like "founding the nation," "building the army," and "construction."

The repetition rate is definitely the highest.

It was only after Zhou Jianjun came on stage that Li Feng realized what was happening.

Professionals really do make a difference.

At this point, he began to water the kaolin.

Then they started turning on the potter's wheel.

The disc base on the machine began to rotate, and the base caused the kaolin clay on it to rotate rapidly.

At this moment, his hands gently rested on both sides of the kaolin, as if he were applying force on both sides at the same time.

After Zhou Jianjun squeezed and pushed the kaolin upwards, the shape of the general's jar actually came into being.

When Li Feng saw this, his eyes widened in shock. Oh my god!
Professionals are professionals.

It was a complete rout.

In less than ten minutes, the outer outline was completed. Then Zhou Jianjun placed his left hand on the protruding part of the general's jar and made a fist with his right hand.

Then start pressing down from the top of the general's jar.

Soon the top of the general's jar began to dent.

When Li Feng saw this, he knew that Zhou Jianjun wanted to repair the inside of the general's jar.

When others saw this, they couldn't help but admire it.

"This kid looks pretty good."

"yes!".

"Has this person done this before?"

"Why do I feel like he's about the same level as a skilled worker?"

"I think so too."

The discussions about Zhou Jianjun have never stopped.

After all, among those who came before Zhou Jianjun, no one did better than him.

Many of those people have already been eliminated.

The remaining score is around 2-4 points.

After all, what they produced was simply not good enough.

Those who were pulling the potter's wheel with Zhou Jianjun felt immense pressure watching his skillful movements.

They looked at what Zhou Jianjun was holding, and then at what they were holding.

There's absolutely no comparison.

It's a complete dimensional reduction attack.

After Zhou Jianjun finished, the remaining four people hadn't finished yet.

Master Jin and the others gave Zhou Jianjun a score of nine out of ten after seeing the general's jar he had made.

As for why he wasn't given a perfect score, it was because we were afraid he would become arrogant.

Therefore, I only gave it nine points.

When the remaining people saw Zhou Jianjun's score of nine points, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"This kid should be safe now, right?"

"I think so too, bro! Didn't you see? It's already nine points!"

"If you can't even get nine points, then tell me how many points you can get."

Then someone else spoke up.

"well!".

"It seems really difficult now."

"I don't know how many points I can get."

At this moment

The remaining four people were also ready.

What they made was barely passable.

However, it only hovered around three points.

Two hours later.

With each casting test...

One of them scored a maximum of six points.

This is the highest score besides Zhou Jianjun's so far.

Finally, it was Li Feng's turn.

He was already sitting on the small stool next to the potter's wheel.

After Zhou Jianjun set an example, fewer people failed afterward.

After all, this is the correct procedure.

At this moment, Li Feng also followed Zhou Jianjun's example and began to water the kaolin.

Just then, a mechanical voice came to Li Feng's mind.

"Experience in pottery throwing +1".

puff!
Does this also grant experience points?

This was something Li Feng hadn't expected.

After all, no matter what, they actually had experience watering kaolin.

After his initial surprise, Li Feng turned on the potter's wheel and placed his hands on the kaolin clay.

As the machine turned, Li Feng felt the kaolin clay in his hands begin to rotate and rub against him.

This feeling!

It's a bit addictive.
