Volume 1: Juyiwu Chapter 7 The Slender Quiet Girl

"If there is no workshop, everyone will only starve to death." ———————— Ding's

>>>>>>

The next morning after dinner......

In order to repay Diao Zheng and Ding's care for him in the past few days, Zhuge Liang decided to help do something that he can do now, and following Ding's to the workshop is such a thing.

The men of Juyiwu protect their homes and guards, while the women work diligently to weave and engage in production. Every morning, usually between the next morning and the end of the day, the women of Juyiwu will come to the workshop one by one to start their day's work.

There are also young girls and even younger girls to help, they are mainly responsible for some simple operations, such as making fabrics such as jiān and practice, as well as some clothes, such as weaving patterns on the top of the raid, brocade or something, which they basically cannot involve if they are inexperienced.

Among the women working in the workshop, Ding is the number one person, not to mention his ingenuity, and often takes care of others. If there is anything difficult to do, if others need her help, she will help with everything she can do.

On weekdays, she also supervises the work progress and daily management of the workshop. Of course, the real boss of the workshop is still Jia Hao, and the real supervisor is Jia Hao's wife, Ye, but trivial matters are handed over to Ding.

However, this gave Diao Zheng's family a lot of face, the male owner is the head of the sect, and he is deeply loved by the men. The hostess is the head of the female workers, and she is also quite respected, that is, the women of Juyiwu, who are still somewhat narrow-minded and selfish, and still worry about some things with Ding.

Ding's leading Zhuge Liang to the workshop to help this time can be regarded as a rare event in Juyiwu in the past ten years, and it is still the kind of thing that subverts the three views. In the past, when doing work, only small hairy children, such as naughty and Zhang Dan'er, these individuals would come to the workshop to make trouble, and men would never come to this kind of place.

When they picked up the goods, they all went straight to the warehouse on the north side of the workshop (the northwest corner of Juyiwu), and if anyone ran to the workshop, they would be laughed at by the others. Because all the men in Juyiwu think that the workshop is a place where women go, what do men do?

It's not that they discriminate against women, it's that they agree that these working women are talented. Because Juyiwu is particularly dependent on women's work, and survival must rely on the operation of the workshop, so the status of Juyiwu women is higher than that of women in other places. If a man goes to the workshop, he can't help with the fine work, and he doesn't have much physical work to do, so he will be ridiculed.

It can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the people of Juyiwu, so some of the women and girls who came to the workshop early were surprised when they saw Zhuge Liang brought by the Ding family, and some even began to cover their mouths and snicker.

"Why did Aunt Ding bring a man today?"

"Hey, is he here to make a fool of himself?"

Standing at the door of the workshop, Zhuge Liang could vaguely hear the whispers of several girls who were ten feet and twenty feet away, maybe they really shouldn't have come.

But there doesn't seem to be any other work that can help other than the work in the workshop, and there's nothing wrong with coming here to take a look. I have a long experience, and I may be able to use it in the future, but I didn't expect that Juyiwu and men would not dare to step into the workshop when the women were working, and I felt that I was pitted by my "grateful heart"!

It's better to play chess with the verbose old man.

If it were to be replaced by other men in Juyiwu, they would really be ridiculed for half a day until the heat dropped. But as the women and girls in the workshop, after seeing that the person who came was a handsome man, they quickly accepted Zhuge Liang.

Instead, I began to wonder where he came from, having never seen him in the dock before. If it weren't for Ding's introduction, and Zhuge Liang's rather shy self-introduction, they really didn't know anything about him.

After hearing that Zhuge Liang was a visitor, almost all the people who were working in the workshop stopped or slowed down, chatting with each other. Some people say that this should be the noble son of a large family, but this dress is not luxurious, in fact, it is still the clothes given by the Ding family. Some people said that it should be a bachelor, because although they were dressed in the same linen clothes as them, they still looked like scholars.

The rough linen clothes can't hide the bones of the scholar.

In this way, they began to discuss, which was a new topic different from the trivial matters of each family in the past.

Ding also knows very little about Zhuge Liang, not to mention that it is not easy to inquire, only that his name is Ge Zhuang, and he was chased and killed by a thief and was rescued by Diao Zheng.

The attention of the women and girls was on this handsome man who was full of freshness, and the people who came to work in the workshop first first and then joined the trend.

However, Zhuge Liang's attention was not on these trivial matters, and when he arrived at the door of the workshop, he was shocked by the equipment in the workshop. I didn't expect that in this desolate place, there are so many textile equipment such as flower buildings and bias looms, although flower buildings and other equipment are common, but such a scale is relatively rare.

I finally know how the big family of Juyiwu is maintained, and I heard Diao Qian say that their income mainly comes from the Jia family, and the Jia family relies on business to obtain wealth.

It seems that this Jia family is mainly engaged in things like cloth, which can be regarded as a commodity with a lot of market demand today. Especially from the perspective of the type of processing, this Jia Hao seems to have the idea of making war money, and many of the goods are urgently needed by people due to the destruction of the war.

According to the women, most of the families who could not afford to buy ordinary goods were farmers, so they exchanged them for other goods. The exchanged items need to be brought back to the dock, and the unneeded ones are exchanged for sale, and the route of the merchant is also specially selected.

They also made some exquisite goods, such as brocade robes and exercises, which were probably sold to some large families or luxury and affordable families and officials.

I have to say that this Jia luxury is very business-minded, according to the seasonal needs, communication needs and actual needs, etc., to create all kinds of goods, because it is a cloth commodity, the cost is not high.

The most important thing is, of course, this labor force - cheap, but they want to eat and drink, warm in winter and cool in summer, and have something to live in. There are large enough equipment to equip and the efficiency is top-notch.

These girls and ladies are indeed full of enthusiasm and have been doing it all year round. Not only are the hands small and exquisite, but they don't bask in the sun much, their skin is also snow-white, and their figure is quite exquisite.

Some step on the multi-comprehensive flower building, weaving all kinds of beautiful patterns, and some operate the bias loom to weave all kinds of cloth. It was like a complete picture of the weaving of the worker girl in front of him, of course, while marveling, Zhuge Liang did not forget the purpose of his coming to the workshop.

Since he couldn't learn to operate high-end ones such as flower buildings or bias looms for a while, Ding asked him to be responsible for carrying things, sending raw materials to women and girls, and moving woven cloth and silk to one place.

These jobs are not physical work, let alone mental work, Zhuge Liang quickly became handy to do it. The only thing that doesn't adapt is the environment, here he is a man, and the rest are women. It's okay to be older and married. It's different with girls who are younger than him or similar, and these girls are still somewhat shy and inconvenient to communicate.

When he helped the girls, they almost all bowed their heads, and their red faces did not dare to look at him. It made the atmosphere awkward, so he was very unnatural.

As time passed, this situation became less and less, and not only did I talk well with the women, but I also began to get along with these young girls.

There were even a few people who laughed with him, and some people simply asked Zhuge Liang directly where he was from and some other information.
