It's just that Old Man Jin thought about breaking his head, and he couldn't think of how to divide his son and himself into first, second, and third levels. I really didn't have a move, so I had to pat my head and say to the Dongjiang lady: "Dongjia lady, I really can't tell what level it is." I've been working for the longest time, at least forty years, so I'm considered first-class, okay? My eldest son has been doing it for more than 20 years, which is counted as level 2, my second son has been doing it for almost 20 years, and it is counted as level 3, and my third son has done it for the shortest time, which is considered level 4. You think this grading, maybe it's okay? ”

Er Ya listened to Old Man Jin's level according to the year, so he turned his head and secretly laughed. Later, I thought about it, maybe I didn't make it clear, and Old Man Jin couldn't understand it! Forget it, let's just count the level for the time being. After a long time, their abilities will naturally be reflected, and then they will be re-credited! Thinking like this, she held back her laughter and said to Old Man Jin: "Old Man Jin, it seems that at present, it can only be divided according to what you say. But if anyone has a good craft, I don't care if I lose it! ”

Old man Jin hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't suffer a loss, don't suffer a loss!" We are all our own family, and whoever has more and who is less is the same, and we don't suffer. ”

Erya smiled and said, "That's good! Old man, you are always a first-class person, with a monthly payment of five taels of silver a month. What about you! If you are already old, don't be tired, you can teach these children in my family when you are old. However, you can rest assured that there will never be any such thing as 'the disciples of the church starved to death of the master' in my place. You just teach them the basics, and the rest is something for themselves, depending on their interests. What do you think? ”

Old Man Jin has been smashed with five taels of silver a month! The proprietor's words later, he didn't listen to a word. Now. The lady of the owner asked his opinion, and he looked at the lady of the owner in a daze, and asked stupidly, "What did the lady of the owner say?" ”

Er Ya was speechless. The feelings themselves said that they were blind for half a day. She had no choice but to repeat her words. Old man Jin nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, the lady of the owner has this request, Xiao Lao'er has nothing to say, he will definitely do it." It's just that the proprietor's lady is wrong about this monthly payment? Don't be five cents, right?! ”

Old man Jin carefully verified! Don't blame this old man Jin for having such an idea, craftsmen are very worthless in this era. Shinong Industry and Commerce. It can be seen from this that a long-term worker who can farm is worth more than a craftsman. The monthly payment of Changgong is only 500 wen, and he has five taels of silver as a craftsman. Ten times that of Changgong, how dare you make him believe it.

Erya is a person who has experienced the era of advanced science and technology in later generations, and she understands more clearly than all the people here how important technology is. If she is like this, she can still pretend to be like the people here who value agriculture and light labor. Despise the craftsman. Beat these craftsmen into the mud, and she's stupid and not even as good as a cow.

Although she knew why Old Man Jin had such a suspicious question, she didn't explain so much, she just smiled and said from other aspects: "Old man, this monthly payment is not only your craft money, but also the bundle fee you want to teach your students. However, everyone else has a much smaller monthly payment! Your eldest son's monthly payment is two taels, your second son's monthly payment is one tael and five cents, and your third son's monthly payment is one tael. As for your son-in-law and brothers, each of them will pay one tael a month. Because I don't know what their craftsmanship is for the time being. So I can't give it high! ”

Old man Jin's excited hands trembled, and he listened to the last words of the lady of the owner. Hurriedly bent down and said, "Enough, enough!" It's already a lot, it can't be more, and we won't have the face to ask for more. That's it, we're all cheeky enough to take it! ”

Erya was not polite to Mr. Jin, and began to make his own requests after saying that the monthly money was good. "Old man! You haven't sued me yet! ”

"Oops! I'll tell you! Old man Jin hurriedly replied, "My eldest son is best at cotton stirring machines, spinning wheels, and he also does very well in cotton and linen textile machines, which are all strong and durable."

My second son is best at silk spinning machines and looms.

My third son is like his grandfather, he likes to tinker with pattern looms, and the silk flower picking machine is no less than his grandfather. It's just that because his grandfather had an accident, no one dared to buy the things he made with joy, and now he is very depressed, and he hasn't made a machine for a long time.

As for myself, I can do anything, but none of them are particularly good or too bad.

My son-in-law only has a dead force, and he has no great ability, but what you want, he can do exactly what you want, but if you come up with something new on his own, then even if you can't! ”

Erya's heart is so beautiful that she is bubbling, this is the treasure of the family. But she had a smile on her face, not at all. Just nodded indifferently and said, "It's okay!" Your son-in-law can do as long as he can make things as required, and there is no need to ask for too much. However, if he can come up with something new on his own, as long as it has market value, I will be rewarded. You and your sons are the same, and your eldest grandson who is still learning a craft can also be counted, as long as you can make new things, I will definitely have a big reward for the use value! ”

Old man Jin shook his hand again and again and refused: "No reward, we don't need a reward." The owner gives us such a high monthly payment, and thinking of a few new things for the owner is something we should share, where can we ask for the owner's reward! ”

Erya no longer argued with Old Man Jin about these things that could only be said after a long time, so she raised her hand to ask Old Man Jin to stop talking, she took out the drawings she brought over, and asked Old Man Jin: "Old man, what about them?" ”

"Stay in the back! Didn't let them come. Does the proprietor want them to come? Old man Jin asked rhetorically. Although their family was poor, the rules were well kept, and when important guests came to the house, the head of the family would come forward to receive them, and others avoided them. You can only come out to greet the guests when you are called, even if the eldest of the Jin family and his sons are in their teens, it is no exception.

Of course, the rule is that the dead are alive, and if the sons of the Jin family must stay in the living room and meet guests with their father, it is not impossible. However, they have been discriminated against by others since they were young, and they don't like to see people. So usually people in the house can hide.

Today, the lady of the proprietor came over, in fact, they wanted to receive it with their father, but the old man Jin refused to let it. Because there has been no talk about monthly payments. Old man Jin meant that he wanted to bargain with the owner today to see if he could set the monthly payment a little higher. He was afraid that his second son would make trouble, so he ordered none of them to come out.

Although they didn't enter the hall and talk to the lady of the owner face to face, they did not miss a word of what the lady of the owner said in the house. Originally, they were excited and nervous because of such a high monthly payment, and they whispered to each other. At this time, when they heard the lady of the proprietor ask, they all immediately shut up. Standing quietly by the back door, waiting for Daddy's call.

Erya nodded. Say, "Hmm! Call them all out! ”

Old man Jin got up and went out the back door to call them all, and after seeing them one by one, Er Ya put aside a large stack of drawings. Take a few out of it. said: "The machine for weaving this piece." I won't point fingers, you're more expert than I am. It's something else that I occasionally think of, and you'll see if you can make it. ”

Several big men didn't dare to gather around the lady of the owner's house, so they had to take a drawing and stand aside to look at the hall carefully.

Erya saw a man with a baby walker drawing and took it down. I just wanted to remind him: "Who is that!"

The old man Jin was busy introducing on the side: "The lady of the East family, this is the eldest son of my family, called Jin Fuhai. ”

Er Ya continued with Old Man Jin's words: "Master Jin Fuhai. You take the blueprint down. That's a baby walker, and it's simple. Just look at it. I don't think you'll be able to figure it out in three or two days. ”

The boss of the Jin family was a little embarrassed by the lady of the owner's family, and he was embarrassed to take down the drawings for himself. He blushed and stepped aside, studying the drawings carefully on the surface, and on the inside he was about to vomit blood.

The eldest grandson of the Jin family was holding roller skates, because Er Ya simply sketched out the characters, so that people knew that they were skating at a glance. His heart was about to fly, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Lady of the East House, are these the shoes worn by skating?" ”

His grandfather was behind him, gave him a braincase, and scolded, "What are you calling? No politeness at all! ”

Erya smiled, and did not stop Old Man Jin from educating his grandson. After the old man taught his grandson, he turned his head and introduced to Erya: "This is my eldest grandson, named Jin Shangfeng." ”

Erya nodded at the half-year-old child, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and replied, "Yes! But it's not just on ice, it's also on flat ground. Are you interested in making it happen? If you can do it, there will be a reward! ”

I really couldn't wait for them to answer one by one, so Er Ya simply sorted the drawings stacked on the side and classified them. He said to them, "Put down the drawings in your hands and listen to me." You see, this stack is specially for children and babies to play, strollers, yo-yos, walkers, cradles, small tricycles, small bicycles, skateboards, skates, etc., if you can understand and figure it out, can be put into use, there is a prize!

The middle stack is a number of tools specially used for agricultural production and living needs, wind-powered waterwheels, water-powered waterwheels, pressure pumping trucks, seeders pulled by oxen or donkeys, rice transplanters, harvesters, wind-powered fans, water-powered fans, hand-cranked fans, new carriages, etc., these things, I have written what they are used for under the drawings, and you can figure out how much they can be figured out according to their use. In the same way, there is a prize for any of you who can figure it out and put it into use.

This last stack is the key project I want to hand over to you, and it is closely related to your old business. There are a lot of medium-specific machines that I want, which are related to your old profession but not exactly the same.

First of all, let's say that this is a machine specially used to weave towels, what is a towel? Have you seen it? ”

A large group of people in the Jin family shook their heads, and the ones in front of them had already made them confused. Now there's another one of their old ways of doing it - towels! This towel is said to be their old business, but they have never heard of it, where did it come from!?

Fortunately, Erya had prepared in advance, and they probably didn't plan to see the towel. She took out a piece of coarse cloth from her backpack that she had processed, on which she regularly picked out the heads with bamboo needles according to the warp and weft. Although it is not as coordinated and beautiful as the woven towel, you can still see the prototype of the towel in general.

Er Ya unfolded the cloth and said to everyone, "Look! I don't want a flat, large piece of cloth. I only need such a piece of length and length with such a dense "cloth" in the middle, I call this a towel. Let's see if you can make a loom like this? Although I don't know how to do it, I still think that this should be very simple, just take an ordinary loom, and a little change may be able to achieve the effect we need. ”

Old man Jin and his three sons didn't speak, frowning and looking at the so-called towels spread out on the table, their minds were running rapidly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the father and son nodded in unison, and they agreed that it should not be difficult to make such a loom.
