Chapter 223 Apprentice Assessment
Today Luo Cheng got some eggs from the breeding shed to bake and eat. He also bought the boiled eggs in the canteen at noon, and asked Luo Wen to take them home to eat.
However, I see that the people in the brigade bring their own rations every time they come here, which is really frugal and troublesome. After coming here, you can't go back immediately. The wooden pallets have to be sent to the steel rolling mill, the eggs have to wait for the people from the breeding factory to buy back 200 kilograms, and the rest are left for recycling by the automobile manufacturer.
After collecting the eggs, I got the coarse grain coupons and had to buy grain to go back. At most, there were a few tractors that could go back first, but we had to wait until noon.
Luo Cheng suggested that the trip should be made every two days anyway. From now on, he could simply come here and stay here for lunch. There is no need for a ticket, but the food is rationed, six taels per person, and you just have to pay what is due. You know, the car factory doesn't give them any tickets when they collect their eggs, and the price is very cheap.
This is a good thing for the people in the brigade. They bring rations because the farmers don't have food stamps. Now that the brigade has its own revenue, it is still possible for the brigade to reimburse for a meal that costs more than 10 cents per person.
The assessment was held on the road next to the new workshop, which was the road that was originally blocked off from the main road. There were many people watching the excitement today, and Director Zhang was still keeping time there. The one who assembles the fastest today will be rewarded with chickens and ducks. Originally, everyone thought that everyone should be able to pass today's assessment. Even those who participated in the assessment found that assembly was not difficult.
But when it comes to exams, sometimes some people are naturally nervous. They know everything, but when they are not being tested, there is no problem at all if they are asked to assemble it. But this assessment is stressful, and it is easy to forget things when you are nervous, and what you forget is often very simple details.
This morning, two people failed the test. One was because one of the engine fixing screws was missing. One was not careful, or was too nervous, and connected the wrong line.
The assessment is so cruel. No matter what kind of professional assessment it is in this era, it must meet the standards. For example, for a fitter, your hands must be steady. No matter how you operate the finished product, if it does not meet the standard and is missing one or two wires, it will not pass.
This was the first batch of ten or so individuals taking the assessment in the morning, and two people failed. If you don't know how to say anything, you just didn't pay attention to a detail, and you failed the assessment.
One of the apprentices who failed the examination, the master of the repair shop, was so angry that he kicked the other apprentice. It's embarrassing. If the test was difficult, everyone wouldn't be able to talk about it, but now it's completely different. Carelessness led to failure. What speed should we rush at? What is more important, passing the assessment or the reward?
Today, there are almost no people working in the repair shop. They all come here to help because there is an assessment. Before the assessment, the chassis and wheels need to be assembled. We don’t want the assessors to be distracted by this matter, so people from the repair shop are here to help. As for the car that needs to be repaired, it won't be a big deal if it can be repaired in one night.
Seeing those who failed the assessment, many masters also began to warn their apprentices who were going to be assessed to focus on stability and not make the mistakes of the two previous people. Once assembled, check it carefully once or twice.
Fortunately, Luo Cheng said at the beginning that this assessment was mainly a formality. You must set an example for those who come after you. Anyone who goes from apprentice to full-time worker cannot rely on idle time. If you don't know how to do it, you won't be made a regular employee after ten years of work.
Therefore, if you fail this time, you will report it again next month, but if you fail again, you will really have to wait until a formal assessment in the next year.
In future assessments, it is impossible to conduct additional assessments unless there are special circumstances. In the future, the new department will conduct an assessment at about the same time in advance, otherwise the assessment will be held twice a year. An apprenticeship grading assessment is set in March and April every year. The other time is the skill upgrade assessment of some masters, which will be held in September and October.
After lunch, the cashier brought by his father Luo Wen's brigade went to buy food. The remaining people were not in a hurry to go back, and were all joining in the fun to watch other people's assessments. Even if they couldn't understand, they felt great and good when they saw the car being assembled and half of the body being able to move.
In the afternoon, Luo Cheng had no time to spare. He had to assemble the engine, and the assembly sequence had to be done step by step. Educated people are given priority. Let vehicle assemblers install this. Then the vehicle assembly will be completely impossible. There will be too few people who understand the technology.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. If you don’t know how to assemble it, use a notebook and notes to learn.
A group of temporary workers were organized, but Team Leader Jiang and others could not help this time because they did not know the assembly sequence. After assembling a part, Luo Cheng had to make them wait, and then arranged for people to be sent to Director Zhao's workshop. After teaching the people at the military factory how to assemble them, he took the assembled parts to the ordinary workshop to continue assembly.
In order to prevent counterfeiting, we have to go back and forth. At most, we will arrange special transporters to assemble the components here and send them there, and then send them over after the components are assembled to continue the next step of assembly. Anyway, you don’t need to understand why you assemble it this way, you just need to understand which step you should assemble.
Anyway, after an afternoon of hard work, I was barely halfway through the assembly, because I had to explain it and teach the newbies how to assemble it.
I didn't get off work early, which was a rare occasion when I got off work on time. It was even a little late, because when he got off work, Luo Cheng was still concerned about the situation of this assessment.
The personnel have not been fully assessed, mainly because the chassis and chassis of the car cannot keep up, and this is a situation where people from the repair shop come to help. Fortunately, the chassis and frame materials were sent to the rolling mill in advance, cut and painted, otherwise we wouldn't be able to assess so much today.
And in the afternoon, there was another person who failed the assessment. This time he failed, which was a bit unfair. The people who took the assessment basically did everything they were supposed to do, but the problem lies with the temporary workers who helped. The quality of screws now is not as good as that of later generations. A temporary worker unscrewed a screw that was stuck, but could not be tightened. It looks like there's another screw on it.
Even the person who tested it didn't notice it at first, but when the test was started, the area where the screw had lost its hair was vibrating. This also belongs to the fact that the examiners did not check properly. It is an injustice, but it is not completely unfair. In the future, I will become a regular worker. This is the first batch of regular assembly workers. Basically, I am very anxious and can only take the assessment next month.
When returning home from get off work this time, Luo Cheng stopped at an intersection on the way and hesitated. All the drawings of the engine have been produced, but they have not been used yet after signing in today.
There was no need to go to the grain store. He, Xiaoyu and the others exchanged the rice bran and soybean meal they received for some grain and came back. They didn't even go to collect the grain for this month. There is definitely not enough food for this month, but after receiving the food, it will last for at least ten days. Luo Cheng believed that he would be able to solve his problem of eating rice within ten days.
And I don’t seem to need the others much. There are still a lot of tickets in the drawer in the office. Tobacco and alcohol stamps, cotton and cloth stamps, all major items. But Luo Cheng has no money now, so he doesn't need cigarettes. He can buy wine during the Chinese New Year. You can also use eggs and flour to make pastries and other things.
So for the current system, we need to get some more necessary items, such as game, vegetables and fruits. The vegetables obtained by signing in can also be stored in the system. In a few days, when there are almost no vegetables in the market, you can take them out to taste. The other thing is game, not to mention rabbits, pheasants and the like. If you have never eaten anything in the future, it is still a rare thing to eat.
In later generations when Luo Cheng lived, wild boars had become protected animals. All kinds of birds can be caught and eaten for free for ten years. In this era, if you have the ability and channels, you can also eat tiger meat. Those hunters dare to hunt tigers, and if they get them, they can be used to brew wine and make medicinal materials, and the tiger skins are already very valuable.
It's a pity that I haven't obtained any large animals when I signed in to the system. Otherwise, if I got them, I would install the mechanism and release them directly to capture them. That would be interesting.
