Chapter 44 Ways to Make Money
Early the next morning, the rain passed and the sky cleared.
As the saying goes: an autumn rain and a cold! In the early morning after the rain, there is a hint of late autumn chill, which makes people involuntarily feel a sense of gloom.
Last night, the second girl had been huddled in Xiao Ding's arms. She was not afraid of the cold, but because of the fear of thunder.
In the past two days, Erniu will also wake up early in the morning and practice with Xiao Ding. Although she has not been able to successfully induce qi into her body, after a few days of practice, her complexion has obviously improved a lot, and her spirit is better than before.
Xiao Ding was naturally happy when he saw the changes in Erniu, and wondered if he should let other people in the family also practice this set of exercises? Especially Li's body, not to mention, often falls into a coma for no reason, and sometimes coughs a few times, which is obviously an internal disease.
"Erniu, if you have time, you can teach this set of exercises to Xiao'e, Xiaozhu and her mother. If they ask you about the origin of this exercise, you will say that when I was in the county seat, I met an old Taoist who taught me a set of methods to strengthen my body. After running for a few weeks, Xiao Ding said to Erniu.
"Okay, Xianggong." The second girl responded.
After Xiao Ding finished speaking, he remembered the "big gift" he promised to Erniu last night, so he found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he bought yesterday, studied the ink, and drew it on the paper.
To be honest, Xiao Ding is very, very uncomfortable with the use of brushes. He remembered the charcoal pen he had used on the desert island in the original world, and felt that the charcoal pen was much more convenient than this brush.
When you think of that island, you think of the people on that island. Xiao Ding sighed, and hurriedly retracted his mind to paint with peace of mind, for fear that he would not be able to control his emotions and shed tears in front of Erniu.
In this era, there were no materials such as rubber bands, sponges, and steel brackets, and even most of the buttons were made of cloth and thread by hand. The finished button is only a copper button, not to mention the ugly style, not to mention the close-fitting words, not only cold, but also often to the body.
Xiao Ding only drew a few simple and easy-to-make styles of women's underwear.
He drew two kinds of underwear, one is a small vest style that only reaches to the chest, and the bottom edge can be worn into the velvet rope tightened and tied in front of the body or back. The other is a simple corset similar to a bikini, which is to connect two pieces of cloth of the appropriate size with a few thin velvet ropes to cover important parts, which is simple and sexy.
Panties he drew boxers and briefs. The waistband of the trousers can be worn with a velvet rope that can be tied at the side or in front of the body.
Because the fabrics of this era are not elastic, they are too big to fit closely, and it is difficult to wear them if they are close-fitting. Therefore, when Xiao Ding draws, he deliberately leaves openings on both sides of the waistband of his pants, or an opening on the front of the waistband of his pants, so that this problem is easily solved.
After the painting, Xiao Ding gave Erniu a detailed introduction, including what kind of fabric to choose, what to look like, and so on.
After listening to Xiao Ding's introduction with a red face, the second girl couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said that when will Xianggong still design clothes styles.
After Xiao Ding's introduction, he drew a men's vest and men's boxer briefs, and asked Erniu to help him make a few.
The underwear he is wearing now is the one he bought in the county before, all of them are long-sleeved tops and long-legged pants, fat and fat, and the fabric is not much different from the outerwear. Sleeping in this kind of clothing at night is the same as sleeping in a coat during the day, and he feels very awkward.
Now there are only two cotton and one linen at home. Linen cloth must not be used for underwear. The cotton fabric of this era was also very rough and the fabric was very thick, although it was softer than linen, but if you wore it in summer, it would feel very hot.
Xiao Ding thought of some of the belly pockets and dirty pants that he bought for the second girl last time, most of which were made of silk or tulle. Silk and tulle are light and have a cool, silky feel that will certainly not be so hot to wear in summer. So Xiao Ding had the idea of buying some more silk and tulle, but this is not in a hurry, and he can buy them back when he has time.
Xiao Ding also thought about making money by designing the inner and outer clothing styles of later generations, like the protagonist in a certain novel. But he immediately denied it.
Design a few models, it's okay for yourself and your family to wear them, after all, they are all their own families, they trust each other more, and poor families will not be as particular as readers.
If it were someone else, it might not be willing to accept this new thing. How can the habitual thinking of the ancients for thousands of years be changed overnight? The people who can buy this kind of clothes must be the ladies and wives of rich families, and the more such people, the more rules they pay attention to, and where can the existing concepts be as easy to change as written in the novel!
Even if people in this era can accept this new style of clothes, but this kind of clothes are simple in workmanship and easy to imitate, how easy is it to make money with this kind of clothes? In ancient times, there was no shortage of women who could be female celebrities!
Besides, in this era, Xiao Ding, as a man, went to sell women's underwear and underwear, and he himself felt that he couldn't let go!
Xiao Ding also thought about his future development route. He didn't even graduate from high school in his original world, let alone be a top student. Therefore, he can't rely on the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry to make any high-tech products in later generations like the protagonists in some novels, and even make guns and cannons to kill the world in all directions.
However, Xiao Ding is not ignorant of these knowledge, some of them are simple, and he also understands some of them, such as the production method of the original cement that he thought of when discussing the construction of the house last night, and then the production method of the original soap, the formula of the original gunpowder, etc., if the conditions permit, he can also try to make it. However, if you want to mass produce it, in this era, it is estimated that it is unlikely.
In this era, everything is done by hand, there is no machinery, there is no electricity, and such low productivity is very likely to lead to making ends meet. Unless you're a slave owner, you have a large group of people willing to work for you for free.
Moreover, in the production of later products, many raw materials are chemical materials, in ancient society, where can you get so many chemical materials?
Industrialized society is actually a huge social system, with all walks of life and all aspects complementing each other and being intricately intertwined. Any kind of industrialized product, without this industrial environment, is difficult to produce in large quantities.
Xiao Ding's way of making money is not to engage in those illusory products of the future, for him, it is good to try to make it once in a while, if you expect mass production to make money, it is a little unrealistic.
All the ways he hoped to make money were on the wasteland and the hill he had just bought. This is also the real intention of his insistence on buying wasteland and barren mountains.
As the saying goes, rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, and rely on the water to eat the water.
Yesterday, when he and Chief He surveyed the land, he had carefully observed the wasteland and the hill. Therefore, I already have a general direction in mind.
When he has time to climb the hill and take a closer look, he will make a comprehensive and meticulous plan.
