Chapter 1344 The Order Meeting in Siliu Village ([-])
"This needle seems to be sharper?" The old general Bai had dealt with weapons all his life, and he knew it was extraordinary when the needle tip pricked his fingertips.

"The old general's eyes." Qi Ke immediately gave two thumbs up, "The soles of the hand-stitched shoes need an awl to move. The steel needles I use on this machine must be used well, otherwise one needle will break one. What about needles? Right?"

"Your needle is much thinner than an awl."

"So the stitches are dense."

"Will it break a pair of shoes when you roll it?"

"The shoes are being made in Liangshui Town. I haven't heard of any machine breaking the needle."

"Come on, show me."

The man backed away a few steps, and a maid took a small bench and sat down in front of the shoe sewing machine, quickly coiled the machine, positioned the sole of the shoe, and then controlled the sole with the left hand and shook the handle with the right hand, click, click, click, the first few stitches It was still very slow, and then gradually began to accelerate, mainly due to the inertia of the right hand. As long as the left hand is steady, everything will go well. The stitches are formed from the outside to the inside along the outline of the sole.

The men watched the rolling twice, estimated in their hearts how long it would take to finish rolling a sole, and were amazed.

"It's terrible, the family's shoes can be finished in half a day."

"With this shoe sewing machine, women will save a lot of effort in making shoes in the future."

"In the future, there will still be a few women who will make their own shoes, why not buy ready-made shoes?"

"Buy? How expensive is that?"

"That's not necessarily true." Hearing that Old Ninth Master and Lu Chen were arguing, Old General Bai interjected unhurriedly, "You two haven't been to the county for a long time, have you? A small stall that sells needlework to support the family. A pair of men’s shoes is only [-] yuan. Calculate the time it takes to make shoes by hand. The price of these shoes is not expensive. But if you use this shoe sewing machine to make shoes in the future, it will cost you a day. Twenty or thirty pairs, the price of shoes on the street will definitely drop, but with the income of our villagers, why is it expensive to buy shoes and wear them?"

Qi Ke nodded again and again.

"The county is so lively?" Lao Ninth Master and Lu Chen have indeed not been out of the village for a long time, and the small grocery stall that Qi Ke runs in his village makes the village full of daily necessities, and there are new gadgets that are not available outside the village. There is no need to go all the way to the county.

"Yeah." Old General Bai raised his chin at Qi Ke, "Her bamboo weaving shop brought life to the county, and people who made money in her shop bought food, clothing, and small stalls one by one. Woke up."

"Hey, that's good. It looks like the county was depressed when we came here, as if everyone had run away."

"That's not true. At that time, the pirates had just suffered a catastrophe, and the Yamen didn't do much. It's pretty good to be able to restore the current scene."

"Well, the business in that small shop is quite good. I recently opened a new business, buying reed boxes, right? What do you put those things in?" Old General Bai is really knowledgeable, but as him, he knows the county from time to time. The recent situation is not surprising.

"Packing the medicine, that's the medicine box." Qi Ke revealed the matter of the medicine with a smile.

"Medicine box?" Old General Bo got excited and gestured with both hands, "It is said that the box is so big that you need to hold it with both hands to fill it with medicine?"

"Old general, I'm a medicine woman. I can't forget my roots. The general recommended me to the Military Medical Bureau so that I can contact them when I have time. After so long, I finally have the medicine that I can afford. When I return to Liangshui Town Just send the medicine to the Military Medical Bureau."
