Chapter 449: Hook Order
The next round of crochet processing began again, and under the overall arrangement of Tian Liang, each operation group began to work on their respective sites. The first romance is two full hours in the afternoon and two full hours in the afternoon, and you can work for one hour after dinner, which is six hours.
I can't help but admire these old girls for being really able to endure hardships, even if they can earn a penny a day, they won't let go. What's more, you can earn hundreds of articles at a time. One hundred wen can buy sixty or seventy catties of rice, which subordinate in the house does private work so unabashedly?
Before this batch of work was finished, Mr. William, the imperial merchant of Great Britain, came to Tian Liang and continued to process crochet flowers, asking for small flowers and colored ones. No one told him that there were colored lines in his house, so Tian Liang went to Yulong Buzhuang to see the situation.
William said he showed the ready-made crochet flowers to a Belgian friend, who called him a pig, a pig who quickly died stupidly. Such a beautiful oriental handicraft is only ordered for 10,000 flowers, and it takes several months for the ship to return to Europe, porcelain, silk, and tea are bought every year, and this kind of flower has just been discovered, and it is not available in any country! Buying more doesn't take up a little space. He asked William if he wanted to continue the order, and if he didn't, he decided. It seems that this Belgian businessman is still very righteous, and William was scolded by him for being sober, isn't it? How many countries have I walked and I haven't seen such a beautiful thing, how many places does 10,000 flowers occupy? What a pig!
This friend of Belgium gave him another advice, saying that it would be better to let the Qing people make colorful flowers? Isn't the white thread colored when it is brought to the dyeing workshop? Stupid death!
So William asked for colored crochet flowers very hard. Tian Liang increased the price, and the color flowers asked for the price of color. Of course, the price of small white flowers is cheaper than the previous one, and the large colored hook flower costs 120 yuan each, and the small flower is 50 yuan each!
"Smack!" William slapped the silver ticket on the table: "It's decided, it's still 10,000!" ”
As soon as Yun'er told Wang Ye Fujin about the situation, both of them were very happy, so Yun'er instructed Tian Liang and Nalan to go to Room 3 of the West Annex Building to get the line. The flowers of the color match are grouped in a group of white, red, and dark red, white, light green, and dark green, and white, pink, and rose. There is white in every flower, and only when there is white does it look watery. There are also light yellow, earth yellow, and light yellow as a group;
White, lotus, purple as a group. It is also five suits. Two thousand flowers of each kind. Or 10,000 flowers, divided equally among 200 people, each person hooked fifty flowers, and each person only hooked one color of flowers.
The task is not heavy, it can be completed in a few days, and you can earn more this time.
This time the hook flower task was completed quite well, and the inspectors in the house strictly inspected and put it into a plastic film bag after passing it. It was handed over to Mr. William by Tian Liang, Nalan and Ruiqian. A total of 20,000 hand-hooked flowers left the Qing Dynasty with the British royal merchants on sea ships. The house is a thousand taels.
Of course, they have other goods. Silk is a specialty of China. There were no silkworms in Western countries, and there were no such plants as mulberry trees, so a large proportion of the goods they bought back from the Qing Dynasty were silk products: brocade, silk, porcelain, other handicrafts, and tea. They also brought their goods from the West. However, the crochet flower brought back is a unique commodity. The three of them bought a lot of silk, but they didn't want to sell it to foreigners.
From now on, all the maids in the house will be busy processing. There are more and more people ordering, but under Tian Liang's arrangement, there are many but not chaotic, and they are very orderly. And the person who orders the order must report the real name to prevent reselling. This is not selfish, the money is given to the treasury, for the purpose of withdrawing the feudal domain and dealing with natural disasters in the future**, as far as possible not to lose. But don't talk nonsense to accuse others, striving for fame and fortune is the goal of people in the world, who can stop people from thinking about getting promoted and getting rich?
Yu Er Shui'er learned the sewing machine very well, and they successively made adult clothing, children's clothing and wedding clothes. The price of the ready-to-wear garment can be sold for ten taels of silver and a cheongsam if it is brocade, and if it is a complete set or series, plus jewelry, pendants, ornaments and good-looking puppets or something, a set can be sold for two hundred taels, and no one bargains at all.
Yun'er has been thinking about what the prince said about making clothes for beggars and refugees, so she chose some of the small cloth heads that Tian Liang and Nalan took down in the hall with bad colors but heavy and wearable, and let Yu'er Shui'er try to make beggar clothes, and the speed of using a sewing machine to make them is much faster than hand needles. Beggar's outfit doesn't need to be as elaborate as a wedding dress, as long as it is sturdy and doesn't drop. There are many inconveniences for people who ask for food, for example, if the clothes are torn, there is no one to repair them, unless there is a girl who can needle and thread. But when a teenage girl goes out to ask for food, she is the target of street gangsters.
Yun'er bought not a lot of cloth heads, and there were many bad colors among them. At first, it was still prepared for patchwork, and later the eldest sister and the prince said that they would make beggars and refugees, and they also bought special colors that were not very good, but the material was heavy and came back to make beggars and refugees. It's not that you look down on beggars and refugees, if you dress him too well, he won't eat. When people look at him dressed naked, they may even beat him up: the family must be happy to work hard when they have money to come out to ask for food.
Because it's summer, you can't use it if it's made of cotton, and Yu'er Shui Er made jackets and cloaks of different sizes, which are made of small pieces of cloth inside and out, and the stubble is inside, so it won't be uncomfortable to wear. After it was done, Tian Liang Nalan gave it out at any time when he met a beggar in the process of doing things. The beggars who got the hundred clothes were very grateful, and it was difficult for the beggars to remember them when they went out to change into civilian clothes, and they only remembered what the two young and handsome offspring gave.
Fish is the backbone of beggar's outfit, don't look at a child in her belly, she is also the same as Shui'er, she does a lot of work. And the fish is very smart and flexible, and there is always a new idea after another in his head. For example, Yun'er said that she remembered the sleeping bag once, and after consulting Yun'er with Yun'er, she practiced the practice of sleeping bags, and came up with a kind of sleeping bag, which can be used in winter and summer, install zippers, take out the cotton in summer, and stuff it into the sleeping bag in winter. Just don't lose the cotton, don't get wet, even the beggars themselves can fill and take it out at any time.
A waterproof beggar's outfit was also created. There is a kind of fabric that is smooth on one side and rough on the other side of the cloth that Yun'er carries in the air, and the fish put the smooth side outside, and when it rains, the raindrops can't seep into it and slide down. This very smooth fabric is called rainproof silk, of course, the fish don't know. There are also a few hidden bags for beggars, so that they can put the food in them, and sometimes people can't take what they want to eat, so they can't take the third portion with two hands.
Yu'er's IQ is very high, and it is no worse than Yun'er in all aspects. It's just that she can't draw and write, it's not that she can't, it's that she doesn't have that opportunity and a lot of time.
Since the prince said that he wanted to make beggar clothes and refugee clothes, it couldn't be dozens or hundreds of pieces, so the fish would do it when he had time. These two types of clothing do not require any style, they can be worn, and they do not require materials and colors. Make it big for adults to wear, make small ones for children, with the help of sewing machines, Yu'er can make three or five pieces a day, which adds up, and her family's back warm pavilion is piled up with a lot of refugee clothes and beggar clothes.
The fish also have the task of hooking, and every afternoon is the time to concentrate on hooking. She also has to think of a new crochet pattern, Yun'er gave her a book dedicated to crochet flowers, but it is full of simplified words, Yu'er just looks at the diagram, and then follows the diagram to hook, and it can be successful every time.
At the same time as the second contract for 10,000 crochet flowers with the big nose of the West, the official eunuchs in the capital also had a contract for ordering crochet flowers. Their order contracts are basically handbags, the kind that are carried in the hand and carried on the shoulder.
"Hey! You're busier than your master every day, but you have to be careful of the person in your belly. Tian Liang issued a warning.
"Xianggong! It's not a tiring job, you can do it. ”
"I'm telling you to take it easy and don't work hard."
"Yu'er didn't work hard, Yu'er felt that the current life was very rushing. I'm afraid that if you are promoted, Yu'er will become a concubine. ”
"No, you think about this every day?"
"Isn't it impossible?"
"You're called a fool of the sky, don't think about it, okay? Aren't all women the same, you say? ”
"How can that be the same? There is also the difference between beauty and ugliness, as well as good temper, and ...... Much more. ”
"Then, my fish is the best woman in the world."
"When did you learn sweet words? Xianggong, Yu'er really doesn't want to be a concubine. ”
"I'll ask Doctor Zhu to show you, you seem to be sick and your nerves are not normal."
"Mother, Rui'er also wants to hook flowers! You adults don't take us with you! Tian Rui protested. Seeing those white, colored threads and the shiny crochet needle, Rui'er, Mama Zheng, and Mama Liu's grandsons and granddaughters were all very greedy.
"Rui'er, I heard my mother say, it's not that the master won't let you crochet flowers, it's that crochet is very dangerous. The master said that there was a woman in the foreign land who put the crochet in the pocket of her pants, but when she bent over, the tip of the crochet needle came out of the pants and pierced into the belly, so she had to go to the hospital and cut a hole in the belly and take out the crochet needle. If you prick it into the intestines and the intestines leak, the feces in the intestines come out and the whole stomach is dirty, and the person will die. ”
"Huh? So powerful? Rui'er should be a little older. ”
"Mother's Rui'er is the most obedient."
When the girls and grandmothers in the house were intoxicated with hand-hooked handbags, Yun'er's hand-hooked children's shoes and children's socks were out of the cage. They are all hooked with very bright and delicate colored threads. Belle and Gege were the first to try on this new variety. But now it's summer, and the thickness of children's shoes and socks is hot, and the feet are hot, so Belle Ye blushed and pulled down the socks, and if he couldn't pull them off, he screamed "click". If I can't pull it off, I'll cry.
"Grandma take it off, who is this for us to wear such beautiful socks on a hot day?"
Baby Beibei's fat hand pointed at Yun'er at the same time, Yun'er crossed her hands on her waist and said angrily: "The old lady forgot to eat at noon to hook the donkey's hooves, and you also accused the old lady." Do you have a conscience? ”
Baby Beibei giggled, and Mrs. Chen couldn't stop laughing: "Look at what you said, how cute their feet are, how did they become donkey hooves?" You said you didn't eat at noon, mother, do you eat eggs and lo noodles here? ”
"You must eat, I have to be hungry for these two little gluttonous worms."
Sure enough, Yun'er deliberately ate noodles in front of their eyes, picked up the noodles, and their eyes followed Yun'er's chopsticks. In the end, I cried greedily.
The old lady was distressed: "You said that you are such an adult, you make the child cry if you have nothing to do, it's true!" ”
"E-niang teases you, are you still serious? Come on, come on, one person gives a little. ”
"No! The marinade is very salty, so don't leave it in your hands. ”
"There's no way around that, you just deal with the affairs of the palace, Yun'er goes back, please." After saying that, he clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and walked out with square steps.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we will learn two new crochet methods, this is the children's socks I hooked, which can also be worn as shoes."
"Wow! It's so cute! ”
"No, where did I start."
