Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 584 New Inventions

"Tell me, what did Master Yu invent this time?"

"I don't know, but it must be a good thing. Why did Master Yu disappoint us?"

"That's it."

……

People gathered around the exhibition stand, talking about it.

After a while, Master Yu appeared in the anticipation of everyone.

He is not a person who likes to talk nonsense. As soon as he came to the stage, he asked someone to set up a vertical drawing board, and then took a piece of white paper to put on the drawing board and clamped it with clips.

Then, Master Yu took a stick-like thing to draw on the white paper.

At first, everyone didn't realize what he was doing, until someone recognized the words written by Master Yu on the white paper - pencil.

"Pencil? What's that?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it either. Does anyone here know?" Someone turned his head and asked the person next to him.

The person next to him also looked blank: "It should be written in writing, right? Look at Master Yu, didn't he just write two characters on it?"

"So...a pencil is what you use to write??"

"It should be?" The man was a little uncertain, "Didn't Master Yu write with that stick?"

Well, that person didn't know what to say either.

Without any doubt, Master Yu really announced the answer. He raised the stick in his hand and asked everyone, "Do you know what this is?"

"Master Yu, is this a pencil? You wrote everything on the board." Someone said loudly.

Master Yu said: "You are right, this is a pencil. What is the pencil used for?"

"What are you doing?" The people in the audience were at a loss.

Master Yu said with a smile: "It is used for writing. Isn't this writing? Usually, what we use to write is a brush, and we need to bring a box of ink. Every time we use it, we need to grind the ink, which is very inconvenient. So the old lady said, if I can think of a way to stuff the ink into the wood, every time I use it, I just need to cut off the outer wood to use it, that would be even better."

So it was the old lady who said it? !Some people stared wide-eyed, not surprised at all.

More than half of the things they made in their workshops were the ideas of the old lady.

The old matriarch really has too many ideas, such as pigeon chess, toilet paper, roll paper, paper towels... For a big man like her, what things have you never seen?People are not very interested in exquisite and small things, so they want some things that are not available before and are more convenient to use.

"After hearing the idea of ​​the old lady, we tried many methods and changed a lot of ink, and finally..." Master Yu raised his pencil and said, "After dozens of times, hundreds of experiments, It is this kind of pen. This kind of pen is very convenient. The outer circle is made of wood, and the black one in the middle is the refill. You only need to cut off the outer layer of wood when using it, exposing the black pen Core, you can write and draw.”

After a brief introduction, Master Yu asked his assistant to distribute the test pens to everyone for everyone to test together.

The number of heart ratios made is limited, it is impossible to have one, and each group is divided into two.

Ding Chun and Xing Xing, who came from the Royal Manufacturing Office, also received two pencils.

Xing Xing held it in his hand, looked left and right, never thought that something like ink could be put in wood? !

It is not difficult to put it in the wood, but it is not easy to make the ink stay in it honestly and write characters, and it is not easy to break.

Xing Xing was very curious and wanted to know how Master Yu did it.

"Master Xing, don't be in a daze, try to see if this pen is easy to use." Ding Chun urged beside him.

Xing Xing came back to his senses, took a pencil and began to write on the special white paper that the master and the others distributed.

If it's good, it's very smooth to write.

It's just the posture of holding a pen, which I'm not used to.

The nib of the brush is relatively soft, and it is very convenient to write, stroke, and lift.But this pencil has a harder tip so I can't write so many strokes.

Xing Xing said: "Can a pencil only write on this kind of white paper? Can't other white paper work?"

"Yes, but the best writing effect is this kind of white paper." Ding Chun pointed to the white paper underneath, and said, "If the paper is too soft, the pencil is easy to prick; if it is too thick, the cost will be reduced." It's a bit too high... So Master Ding and the others studied a lot, and finally chose this kind of paper that is neither thin nor thick."

This kind of paper is somewhat different from the rice paper used before, it is harder and smoother.

"But don't you think this kind of paper is more useful than rice paper? If we draw design drawings, this kind of paper and this kind of pen can draw anywhere, and it's convenient to write something down."

As Ding Chun said, he took out a notebook as big as two palms from the bag he was carrying, "Look, it looks like this."

When Ding Chun and Master Yu were doing pencil experiments together, they asked the craftsmen in the same group to make it for themselves.

I didn't feel it when it was useless before, but after using it, Ding Chun said that he no longer wants to use rice paper and brush to draw design drawings.

Xing Xing flipped through it casually, and found that there were a lot of things written in this notebook, because the pencil used to write the words was very small, and a lot of content could be picked up in one page.More importantly, with this kind of paper and this kind of pen, there is no need to worry about too much ink and the words will be blurred.

"Isn't it very convenient?"

"Hmm! Very convenient."

……

After the paper and pencils are made, and after the initial review by the artisan workshop, the first one will be sent to Gu Qingling for "passing review".Only when Gu Qingling passes here, will this work be considered complete.

This morning, there is no cloud in the sky.

After Gu Qingling had breakfast, she asked the big maid to bring up the things that were prepared below, so she could have a look.

The artisan workshop produces a lot of things every once in a while, and Gu Qingling is used to it.

As long as the things are not particularly weird, she will pass them and let these things go to the market and stand the test of the market.

In other words, these things are not finished after they are designed. Whether they can be welcomed by the common people and withstand the test of the market is the most important thing.If no one approves of what is made, it can only be put on the shelf.

What do craftsmen make things for?
Except for a small number of people who are for lofty ideals, most people are for making money and for survival, it is so simple and simple.

If the things they make can't stand the test of the market, and no one will buy them after they are made, then they can't blame others, except for bonuses and dividends.

Of course, don't think that if you get a bonus, you can just design something to fool people.

Every time you design something, it will be recorded in your personal file and scored. If your score is always low, the benefits you currently enjoy will be reduced, or even transferred to another job.

Artisan workshops, you can't support some "disabled people", can you?
Looking at the things one by one in front of Gu Qingling, there are both samples and written descriptions, and those that can be sent to her are already considered "the best of the best", but unfortunately, after passing through several items in a row, none of them made Gu Qingling Feel the heartbeat.

It is nothing more than making the paper softer and whiter; making the ink more durable and fragrant; or improving more chess powder toys, nothing new.

Seeing Gu Qingling's expression in spring, the eldest maid hurriedly ordered a new batch to come up.

At this moment, Gu Qingling heard the word "pencil".

"Pencil?!" Gu Qingling was surprised, she just told Master Yu about it, but she didn't expect Master Yu to actually make it, so she quickly asked someone to hand it over.
