Chapter 109: Business is on track

Carpenter Tan is not stupid, his thoughts turned a few times before he almost understood, and said with a smile: "Please, let's talk in the house." Wood, don't prepare tea yet. ”

Carpenter Tan's son shouted and immediately went to the kitchen.

The corners of Nie Shuyao's mouth curled slightly, and sure enough, he was the son of a carpenter, and this name was different from others.

Entering the hall, the afternoon sun shone on the table of the eight immortals in the room, and the group sat there sipping not much hot tea and chatting happily.

Carpenter Tan asked, "Girl, can you tell me what kind of carriage it is?" To tell the truth, our Tan family has been carpenters for generations, and this carriage is our Tan family's specialty. The carriage modified by Miss Song earlier impressed the old man, but I didn't expect you girls to have a lot of ideas. ”

Nie Shuyao smiled: "Tan Lao has won the award. The little girl just loves fantasy. ”

As he spoke, he took out a drawing from his pocket bag, which depicted a four-* carriage with two tall horses.

There is a seat for the driver, and there is a seat for the car at the back, and two kerosene lamps are hung next to the driver's seat. The doors are double in the middle of the car, and they look unusually stable.

This drawing was drawn by Nie Shuyao with the technique of sketching, and it looked like it was real from a distance, so that Carpenter Tan couldn't take his eyes off it, and kept pointing to the parts of those cars and asking questions.

When he finally pointed to the two kerosene lamps, Carpenter Tan didn't understand what they were, but they looked very good.

Nie Tianxi and Jiang Yi also looked at Nie Shuyao, and also wanted to know what kind of lamp this was.

Nie Shuyao only cared about painting, completely forgetting that in this era, there is no glass, can this kerosene lamp be able to do it without glass as a lampshade? But I thought that in ancient times, I made the belly of the lantern a little bigger, and added a few crossed wires inside and out, so that I could barely replace the glass with white paper. Not really. When the paper is burned, it will be replaced with another one.

So she explained: "It's called an oil lamp, and it can be carried in your hand, and it's safer and can stay on longer than a lantern." It's just that this lamp hasn't been made yet. I'll go and study it with Blacksmith Zhang in a few days. ”

"Well, that's good." Carpenter Tan nodded. He could see that the lamp was really good, and the country man could use a broken bowl with oil and a wick to use it as a lamp, and it looked much better than that.

Speaking of which, Nie Shuyao was confined to contemplation again, if there are conditions in the future, what if we use glass or crystal as a lampshade? That's something that can be sold for a sky-high price.

However, this will have to wait for the future. Sometimes the mind is out of control as soon as it is opened, and the memory of the past life is really the most precious thing.

After a good discussion. Carpenter Tan had a vision of moving to the workshop in the future, and when he heard that he could make the workshop his home, he decided to say yes to the little girl. Not to mention that the little girl came to settle his son's dowry, and he felt that he owed him a lot for his wooden son.

In the Ming Dynasty, the son inherited the father's business, which was determined by the founding emperor Hong Wuye. That is, the father is a carpenter, and the son must also have a carpenter, if there is no son.

Carpenter Tan only has such a son, who also studied in the school back then, and he dropped out of school for the sake of this family's craftsmanship. What's more, the girl named Xiaoxi is really good. He is very satisfied with being his own daughter-in-law.

"Good! I agreed, old man. Carpenter Tan patted his thigh and settled.

Tan Niangzi and Mu, who were eavesdropping in the courtyard, both smiled, and the big stone that was pressing on their heads finally moved away.

Nie Shuyao is also very happy, as the so-called penny is difficult to defeat a hero. She's in the right place today.

"Xi'er, write a letter of appointment."

Nie Tianxi naturally knew what this letter of appointment was, and immediately instructed the tiger head: "Tiger head, pen and ink wait." ”

"Yes, young master!"

Tiger Head has been following him for more than half a year, and he has done these tasks well.

Under the incomprehensible gaze of Jiang Yi and Carpenter Tan, a letter of appointment in block letters took shape.

Carpenter Tan is literate, and when he saw this letter of appointment, tears flowed from his old eyes. The work they do is a menial job. Although the status of a merchant is not high in this society, he feels that it is worth it to be treated so favorably by the master's family. I pressed my handprint right away.

The letter of appointment says. Hire Tan carpenter as the master of the Nie family's carpentry workshop, and have a monthly salary. There are also four seasons of clothes throughout the year, and there are New Year's gifts every year.

Nie Shuyao said: "Old Tan, you are the master of our carpentry workshop, what we want to do in the future depends on your fiery eyes." ”

Carpenter Tan smiled, in this Ge Village, they are outsiders, and they have no land, so it is also very good to have a good job and settle down.

Nie Shuyao then took out fifty taels of silver and said, "Old Tan, this is an honorarium for you to become the master of our carpentry workshop. After the workshop is built, it can only be paid on a monthly basis. ”

"It's ......." Carpenter Tan felt ashamed.

Wu Niang outside also saw the situation here when she was talking to Tan Niangzi, and Wu Niang smiled: "Carpenter Tan, you can accept it, our girl really wants to invite you." Don't feel embarrassed, just repay our girl by doing carpentry work in the future. For now, it's right to hurry up and marry your daughter-in-law to wood. ”

"Well, that's it." Tan Niangzi also persuaded on the side.

In the end, Carpenter Tan still accepted the silver, got up solemnly and said, "Thank you, Miss Dongjia, the old man in the carpentry workshop must do his best." ”

Nie Shuyao wanted this sentence and said, "Don't worry, Old Tan. Our brother and sister can assure you that your choice today will not be wrong, and in the future, people will only have the word 'good' when they talk about Carpenter Tan! ”

The pretty little carpentry in her mind was the best idea. A woman's money is best earned anywhere, and it is human nature to love beauty, especially women!

As soon as the matter was settled, they went home. When I returned to Zhenwei Jutian, it was also dark, and the sky was so short at this time.

After everyone had a simple dinner, Jiang Yi assured their sisters and brothers: "Today's weather is good, if it keeps going like this, we should be able to start work at the end of the month." ”

Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "Thank you Jiang Gongzi, if you can't start construction, you can't do it, it's okay to dig the foundation first." ”

"Okay, that's on my side."

Jiang Yi felt that it was also good to let go of a worry and follow her to do business. So, looking at Nie Shuyao's eyes, there was a little tenderness under the light.

Nie Shuyao was pondering today's harvest and how to play Carpenter Tan's brand, and he didn't notice it.

But Nie Tianxi saw it, the corners of his mouth twitched, he didn't know why compared to Song Yunfei, he didn't like Jiang Yi, he always felt that this person was born in the rivers and lakes, and there were too many secrets on his body.

He whispered, "Brother Jiang, I have something I want to ask you for help." ”

Jiang Yi nodded, and the two left lightly.

The fifteenth day of the first month has passed, and the year has finally passed.

Nie Tianxi returned to the academy to fight the books; Nie Shuyao has been so busy since then that her feet don't touch the ground, the carpenter and the blacksmith are running at both ends, and the bituminous coal brought by the Sun brothers, she took the second cannon and the dog to tinker with the pencil lead every day, and failed many times, and her hands and face were either mud or ash every day.

Carpenters and blacksmiths see them almost every day, changing molds! In the end, the two masters were a little scared when they saw them, but they didn't know what they were messing with.

When the courtyard wall of the workshop was finally fenced in March, the core was formed. Not only did they breathe a sigh of relief, but even the two masters also felt stable.

Nie Shuyao took the thick refill and drew it over and over again, smiling at the corners of her mouth from the moment she drew the first line.

"This is a pencil, I finally made a pencil, and I will never be afraid of a pen that I don't have in my hand in the future."

She had used a quill pen, and her writing was okay, but the ink was troublesome, and there would be no ink. Even if you have it, it's not convenient to carry, and one day it will be black.

This pencil is different, she can write and memorize at hand, and get some beautiful notebooks, she doesn't believe that those women who love beauty don't like it.

However, it is not enough to have a core, you have to have a pen with a core.

She drew a mechanical pencil, and Carpenter Tan and Blacksmith Zhang also made it up. Compared to the various mechanical pencils in the previous life, this thing is much more clumsy.

Put this into a mechanical pencil made of wood on the outside and iron on the inside, and press it back and forth a few times. The pen came out, which made Yuqin and the others happy, and their hard work in the past two months was finally in vain.

However, there is another way to use, that is, to roll the core layer by layer with paper, and then paint the color on this paper regularly, roll it layer by layer, and finally stick it firmly, and tear it off little by little when you use it. Finally, it is firmly stamped with the big seal of "produced by the plain weaving workshop".

If you like a better-looking pen, you have to roll it up on white paper and find someone to draw on it, but this kind of is a fine product, and the price is naturally different.

There are few people in the pencil workshop, just dogs, cannons and flutes, plus a few clever daughters-in-law. Anyway, what they make is high-quality, and the formula is absolutely confidential, and they have signed a confidentiality agreement with these workers, which cannot be copied for the time being.

As for the notebook, it is much simpler, and the clever daughter-in-law can make it. You can use leather and rags to create a unique skin, and the paper is a thicker paper, and the color is not so white, which is also subject to papermaking technology, but these are not problems.

It is undoubtedly a great option for people who need shorthand work.

When Nie Shuyao got the first finished product, she sent someone to send it to Shen Xinlu. This person is a celebrity in Qu County, and she has to make use of the benefits of celebrities.

And Shen Xinlu also rushed over as soon as he got this gift, but the first time he saw Nie Shuyao was not to say how easy this pencil was to use and how beautiful this notebook was, but to talk about the situation in Ling County and the big thief Fengyue.

Nie Shuyao frowned, she devoted herself to business for three months and felt that her life was very fulfilling, she didn't want to know about the thief now, she was afraid that she would be glued! (To be continued)
