And said, "Please look at this. Which is better than the quality of our products? " The factory leaders were dumbfounded when they saw it, and they all asked Bateg, "Did you really burn this vase?" Berg answered affirmatively, "Yes."
It turns out that this garbage man, who has been unknown in the factory for nearly ten years, steals the technology of Pusai technicians every day. Even the workers officially sent by the factory to learn from Pusai technicians can't learn anything, but they are all learned by Batteger.
The factory asked Bateg, "Let me know if you need anything." Berg said: "I now earn 20 euros a month. Can I raise my monthly salary to 30 euros? "

It turns out that Bateg envies those apprentices. They can get 30 euros a month, but they can only get 20 euros. So, in order to keep up with his disciples and for his mother to take medicine every month, he secretly learned the craft of firing pottery.
