After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Seeing her sister-in-law being ridiculed, Mrs. Sun, who was standing at the back, hurriedly backed up a few steps, turned around and walked back with her basket in her arms.

Seeing this, others asked her: "Why did Sister-in-law Chen go back? Your golden ears are no longer for sale?"

"En." Sun hesitated and walked faster.

Her golden ears were also moldy, and it still didn't work after asking someone to bake them again. The color was gray and moldy, and the fragrance was gone.

I wanted to use it to fool around, but the Han family made such a fuss, I guess it is impossible for me to sell this one, so I better not be ashamed and conspicuous here.

It's a pity that there are so many golden ears, and it cost a lot of money to buy the seed fungus. I will lose more than ten taels of silver in this way.

A dozen taels is not a small amount.

Sun's heart ached.

Otherwise, ask your husband to take it to the pharmacy in the county to sell it. In case someone doesn't know the product and takes it away, the family can also recover some losses.

Inside the Jiang family compound.

After a while of persuasion from the crowd, and the old man Jiang also interceded, Zhou Mao finally let Zhou Mao let go and start receiving the goods again.

The villagers who were waiting to sell the goods hurriedly picked out their own golden fungus carefully, in case there were bad-looking ones in it that would annoy Manager Zhou.

Ying Bao ignored the situation outside and used a ruler to measure the loom together with A Niang, and also drew down all the components of each part and marked the size.

She wants to ask different carpenters to make these components according to the size, and then assemble them one by one, and then sell the looms. Even if one machine sells for 50 taels, it only needs to sell five machines to get back the cost.

In the future, maybe you can sell more and earn more.

This kind of loom can shuttle automatically. The weaver only needs to hold the rope with one hand and pull the board with the other, and step on the pedal with both feet to weave quickly, which is several times faster than the original manual shuttle.

As long as the operation is proficient, a three-foot-wide cotton cloth can be woven in a day.

This weaving speed is comparable to the speed of the local.

Based on this alone, my family's more than 200 taels of silver are not in vain.

The next day, Yingbao and A Niang took the drawings to the carpenters' shops in several other villages and towns, and gave them the patterns and sizes of one or two parts, and asked them to make twenty pairs as soon as possible.

After that, I handed over several other simple parts patterns to Wang Ke, a carpenter in the village, and asked him to make [-] sets.

As for the iron construction on the loom and the springs on the shuttle, they were handed over to the blacksmith shop in the county town.

Ten days later, Chunniang and her two sisters-in-law were able to operate the new loom proficiently, and the cotton cloth woven was wide and soft.

The parts from the carpenter and blacksmith were also finished, so the old man Jiang borrowed a mule cart and went to pull the things back himself.

Then there is the assembly of the loom.

Chunniang installed one for the elder sister-in-law's house, and another for the second sister-in-law's house.

The remaining 50 sets are kept in my house. If someone comes to buy them, they will say [-] taels of silver each.

This price is quite high, ten times higher than the local loom price.

But so what, rarity is the most expensive thing, whether you like it or not.

However, Ying Bao asked A Niang not to sell it for the time being, and he will sell it at once when the father comes back.

Because this thing can be made by oneself, others can, so it is a one-shot deal.

If one is sold, and it turns out to be imitated wildly outside, wouldn't the family be taken advantage of by spending money to make wedding dresses for others, and might be scolded as a black heart in the future.

So ah, either sell eighteen at a time, or don't sell one.

Chun Niang always listened to her daughters, and asked them to wait until her husband came back.

If everyone is unwilling to buy it because they think it is too expensive, the worst thing is to invite a few weavers back to weave cotton cloth.

There is a lot of cotton in the family. If it is spun into cotton thread and woven into cotton cloth, it will be a lot of income.

Not long after, news of the Jiang family buying a new type of loom quickly spread in the village.

Many people came to watch, and they were still shocked by seeing Chunniang weaving quickly.

Especially the thread shuttle that can run around automatically is amazing and puzzling.

When asked about the price, this loom cost more than 100 taels, which is simply staggering.

However, when everyone knew that this thing was purchased from Wuyue thousands of miles away, it seemed reasonable again.

Many people were very itchy, and secretly poked outside to find out where they could buy the same loom, but they returned in vain.

Soon after the twelfth lunar month, when Jiang Sanlang and others came back from their work, they found that their house was full of clean white cotton cloths, hundreds of them.

There are two looms in the side room and the main room in the house, there are six looms in total, each of which has a weaver weaving.

There are several other people spinning under the eaves, including daughters-in-law from this village and some from other villages.

"What's going on?" Jiang Sanlang asked his wife.

Chunniang smiled and said: "I hired some weavers to help our family spin and weave. The cotton weaving is almost finished at home. Look at how good these cotton cloths are. I will make some clothes for you later."

"I didn't ask this." Jiang Sanlang pointed to the loom at home and asked, "Where did these come from?"

"Please call me."

Chunniang glared at her husband reproachfully, and went to the kitchen to boil water for him to wash. "Zhou Mao brought two looms to our family. My daughter wanted to pay back the cost, so she went to ask someone to make [-] parts, and then assembled them herself."

Jiang Sanlang followed his wife into the kitchen: "Twenty? What about the rest?"

He saw that there were only six sets in the house, did he sell the others?
Chun Niang scooped water into the pot: "I put the rest, Bao'er said I'll sell them when you come back."

Jiang Sanlang sat behind the stove, helping to light the stove, and asked from time to time, "How much will Zhou Mao give our family?"

"Two sets are 230 taels." Chun Niang put the lid on the pot and said, "So my daughter wants to earn the money back."

Jiang Sanlang nodded, adding grass to the stove, "Bao'er is right, I'll ask whoever wants it later, just 50 taels for one."

Chunniang laughed, "Your father and daughter really want to go together. You don't have to ask, I've already registered."

"There are ten households in our village who want to buy this loom, and there are three households in the west village. People from other villages also come to make reservations. I have calculated that a total of 28 households want to buy this kind of loom, and they have already paid a deposit."

"28 households?" Jiang Sanlang was stunned: "Then, how much can we earn?"

Chunniang smiled mysteriously, but said nothing.

The family has customized machine components in several places. If assembled, the cost of a loom is only about ten taels of silver.

Assuming that according to the price set by the daughter, one set is 50 taels, then the family can earn more than 100 taels at a time.

More than 1000 taels, a sum she never dared to imagine in her life.

With so much money, even if you can't earn money in the future, your family will be a well-off family.

But this matter has to be decided by the husband. A man has a man's considerations, and he and his daughter dare not make the decision indiscriminately.

"Since there are 28 households who have ordered looms, these at home must not be enough, what are you going to do..."

Before Jiang Sanlang finished speaking, Chunniang said: "Bao'er and I ordered another thirty parts, and we will go get them back in a few days."

This time, the parts of the loom were ordered with a deposit from others, so Chunniang didn't worry at all that no one would want the items when they were brought back.

After earning this money, the family will build a weaving hall in the village and hire a few weavers to weave cotton cloth.

Anyway, the entire township has started to grow cotton, and there will only be more and more cotton in the future.

When the time came, the cotton could not be sold at a price, so she spun it into cloth for sale.
