Chapter 1343 The Order Meeting in Siliu Village ([-])
"Okay, okay, the old general will give me the number, and do it as soon as possible."

"Reporting the count is not so fast, you should finish what you want in Liangshui Town first." The old general Bai smiled kindly, he can't tell how much he wants now, and he has to find out first, "Hey, what are you doing recently? Got a lot of orders, are you busy?"

"Yes, the furnace is cast into several large parts and then fixed with bolts, and the gaps are filled with fillers to ensure that it is a whole. The clothes are sewn by a crowd of 200 people. The shoes are the most troublesome, but fortunately there are sewing shoes. machine, which saves a lot of time for thread rolling and sewing. If we use a three-generation family of [-] or [-] people as an example, the family’s shoes can be finished in half a morning or afternoon, and the thread can be cleaned and worn.”

Qi Ke poured the newly brewed tea into the justice cup, and said in a brisk tone while dividing out four cups, and then continued to simmer for another brew. The time for each brew was relatively longer, so drinking a whole cup of Kung Fu tea is quite a pass. Yes, it is very suitable for the leisure time of drinking tea and chatting.

She spoke easily, but the three elders were a little confused.

It is easy to understand casting iron parts, and it is easy to understand how hundreds of people divide their labor to sew clothes, but what is a shoe sewing machine?
"What is a shoe sewing machine?" Old General Bai asked a little excitedly.

"It's the machine that puts the soles on the shoes. It has a hand crank." Qi Keping raised his right hand and made a movement of shaking the handle, while his left hand was also doing a movement of pushing the soles. Twenty pairs of shoes are not a problem. If I didn’t have this item, I wouldn’t dare to accept an order for thousands of pairs of shoes. The contract stipulates that they will be delivered to each consignee before the beginning of winter. How can I do it by hand sewing. "

Qi Ke deliberately brought up the shoe sewing machine in order to catch up with the current conversation and get used to it, so he won’t be surprised when he sees sewing machines or even other large and small machines in the future.

"Hmm..." Old General Bai pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look in the direction of the back mountain through the wall, "Your maids have to spend a lot of time working in the mountains, right?"

"That's right, the maids who patrol the mountains spend the most on shoes. They only need a pair of shoes a month, and they have to work hard to make new shoes during the days off." Qi Ke smiled brightly, and naturally understood what Old General Bai meant.

The old general's smile also grew bigger and bigger, "Everyone who knows knows that Boss Qi is a very considerate boss, so I guess there is a ready-made shoe sewing machine in the village? Show me what it looks like?"

"Old general, you guessed everything, it's too boring."

"It means that my sword is not old."

"The old general wait a moment, I will ask them to send the machine to the outside yard."

Before the words were finished, Zhao Lin, who was standing on the sidelines making people forget, left and pretended to go outside to give orders, Qi Ke continued to invite everyone to drink tea and snacks, and chat about some funny things.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Lin gently pushed the door open and came in to announce that the outside was ready.

When they came outside the house, they saw a three-legged machine in the shadow under the wall of the east chamber. It was also made of cast iron and looked strange. There was also a sewing basket on the ground beside it. The soles are not on the line yet.

"That's it?" The old general walked quickly.

"Yes, this is it."

Old General Bai squatted on the ground, reached out to pick up the shoe sewing machine, weighed it, carefully observed the appearance, and touched the needles that had been installed.
