People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

There is a public construction team, Liujiazhuang and his party, which seems redundant.But Cai Xiaolan is not a person who breaks his word. He has already promised someone, so there is no need to break the contract.

"Then ask them to renovate Tianfu Jucai Residence!" She had an idea instantly.

When Tianfu Jucai Residence was being built, he was greedy for speed and the construction period was extremely tight.Except for the foundation, which is first-class, the rest of the quality is second-rate.Not to mention the side room built later, it is simply a dangerous building.

With Governor Lu as the backend, the engineering guys didn't dare to delay. In order to meet the deadline, they even had food and accommodation at the construction site.Xu Yinlian and Jiang Lihua were not idle either. They went to the city every day. One was looking for weaver girls in various embroidery houses, and the other was frequently testing the dyeing shops in the city.

There is a great desire for talents in both weaving and dyeing.

The two of them kept their feet on the ground and tried their best to complete the recruitment task assigned by Cai Xiaolan.

And Fengcang didn't stop either, running between the inn and Liujiazhuang every day.Cai Xiaolan assigned him more tasks. On the one hand, he had to wait for the cotton to be sent from Lingnan Road, and on the other hand, he had to negotiate with cotton growers.

In ancient times, agriculture was emphasized, and it was not up to the farmers themselves to decide what they wanted to grow on their farmland.In the name of Cai Xiaolan, he was able to negotiate eight or nine households.When they heard that it was a orchid-picking business, they were all willing to plant cotton on their wasteland.

As for Cai Xiaolan, she has some free time. While going to two workshops under construction to supervise the construction period, she also goes for a walk in the city and establishes relationships with more than a dozen clothing stores in the city.

After all, no matter how good the fabric is, it must be sold.

"Little lady, please stop grinding in my shop. If you want to collect new materials, it doesn't matter what I say. You have to go to Zicheng. You need the owner of Luo's Garment Shop to speak to you. Only small shops like us dare to work."

The owner of Zhouji Cloth Shop offered Cai Xiaolan a hand and said hello, but to no avail.Finally, I had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Luo's Clothing Store? Why does it feel familiar? Boss Zhou, could you please tell me how to get there?"

"After entering the city gate, go straight in. You will see the fifth wide alley not far in." Boss Zhou pointed out the direction for her.

When Cai Xiaolan followed the route and walked to the entrance of the alley, no wonder she felt familiar.It turns out that Luo's clothing store is right next to the old lady's doctor's house.Every time I came to his house before, I could see it, so I was naturally impressed.

"Oh, I still have to go back."

When you arrive at the door of a benevolent person, it would be rude not to go in and visit.When I came in for a visit, I didn't prepare a gift carefully, so it didn't look solemn.

At the entrance of the alley, she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think of buying anything as a gift.When a high-ranking official like this retires, there should be nothing missing around him.Even if there is a shortage, how many disciples will there be after an old doctor?

"Hey, let's buy some furniture! We have low stools and small square tables!"

A burst of shouting came from far away, and Cai Xiaolan suddenly had an idea.She could ask a carpenter to build a medical tool and give it to the old lady.As for what the medical tools will be, Cai Xiaolan has already planned them in her mind.

Drove straight to Cheng Mushi's home.

But I didn't expect that when I arrived at Cheng Mushi's house in my memory, the owner changed.

There was only one reaction in Cai Xiaolan's mind, "Cheng Mushi is not stupid at all, and he even ran away knowing that he had taken the money."

After asking the current owner, I found out that Cheng Mushi had specially taken care of him when he moved.If anyone comes looking for him, he must tell him the address of his new home.Cai Xiaolan followed the pointing and found the person behind Cheng Mushi's carpenter's shop.

"What? Cheng Mushi, do you still want to take the money and run away?" She couldn't help asking when she saw the person.

When Cheng Mushi saw Cai Xiaolan, his smile suddenly widened, "Oh, God of Wealth—bah—Boss Cai, you're here! Come sit down in the room!"

After they sat down, Cheng Mushi explained the reason for moving.

Without him, Cai Xiaolan has given me too much.As time went on, he finally bought a house in the city.No need to rent someone else's property like before.

"How are my things?" Cai Xiaolan continued to ask.

Cheng Mushi, who was originally laughing, suddenly became confused. He was stunned for a while before continuing: "Boss Cai, I told you not to be angry. When I made the second hand spinning wheel, something went wrong. My child, I accidentally knocked them over. A few parts were broken, and later they were damaged." "Then there are none now?" Cai Xiaolan frowned.She never thought that the person who ran the workshop solved the most difficult part, but fell down on the machine.

"Of course not! I remodeled another one later! However, the more I remodel it, the weirder it gets... You'd better just come and see it!" Cheng Mushi couldn't describe his creation, so he invited Cai Xiaolan to the yard behind.

I saw a dozen spinning wheels parked in the courtyard.However, it is slightly different from the hand spinning wheel provided by the system.

The switchboard that controls the machine is underneath and has a pedal.

Cai Xiaolan stepped on it and stepped on it. The machine hook on it moved back and forth flexibly under the pull of the twine.

"This……"

The hand-operated spinning wheel was converted into a foot-operated one.

"Do you think it is suitable for use?" Cheng Mushi asked, his heart and liver trembling, fearing that the word "not suitable" would come out of Cai Xiaolan's mouth.

Even though Cai Xiaolan had already placed the greatest trust in Cheng Mushi's craftsmanship, this time she still had to say, "You're looking down on me!"
Where is the carpenter here?He is clearly an inventor.

There is so much wrong with hand spinning wheels.The strength of the woman's hands was already weak, and her whole arm was sore after pushing for a long time.What's more, while pushing the plywood on one side, you have to flip the cotton threads on the other side, which is too slow.

There is no need to try the pedal spinning wheel. It is expected that the efficiency is three to five times that of the hand spinning wheel.

"Great!" Cai Xiaolan reached out and took out two taels of gold. "Carpenter Cheng, you are so smart. Please expand production. These two taels of gold are considered as rewards."

After clearing the required quantity of pedal spinning wheels with Cheng Mushi, Cai Xiaolan told him about the idea of ​​making crutches and asked him to make two sets of crutches.

After Carpenter Cheng heard the request clearly, he nodded repeatedly, "This is easy!"

"One more thing, help me make another slender stool that can be folded into a crutch. It is not heavy to carry, can support people, and can be used to sit on." Cai Xiaolan had an idea and had another idea.

Cheng Mushi reacted for a long time before he understood the need.

"It can be done, but it will take a while. I will need half a day for the crutches, and two days for other requirements."

The gift had to wait for two days, so Cai Xiaolan was not in a hurry to visit the old doctor.I simply took a pedal spinning wheel and went back to Tianfujucaiju to see how many times the efficiency could be improved.

……

At night, the lights of Tianfu Jucai Residence were still on. Xu Yinlian, the fastest weaver among the three, was pedaling quickly on the spinning wheel. A piece of cotton cloth was gradually taking shape in front of her.The candlelight shone on it, glowing with a pale silver light.

Not long after, one of them came to an end.

"How long did it take?" Xu Yinlian stretched her stiff back.

"Less than four hours!" Cai Xiaolan, who was in charge of timing, said in surprise.

"Ah? It's too fast!" Xu Yinlian exclaimed. In the past, she had to hurry up and hurry up. It will still take two days.

"Hahaha-cough cough cough!"

Even though she knew that laughing would cause a big cough, Cai Xiaolan couldn't help laughing.Improved efficiency means costs will fall further.

It is just around the corner that everyone can wear common clothes.
