Chapter 0128 - Death if you get too addicted
The plan to make a popcorn machine was carried out in secret. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The location was not in Yeduju, but in an empty house of Fang Xiucai's family in Liujiazhuang. Jia Min sent Liu Cheng and quietly built a blacksmith shop there.
This blacksmith shop is similar to the blacksmith shop in Noduju in other places. The main difference is that there is an additional iron furnace. This is used to melt molten iron.
With the molten iron, and then find a carpenter from another iron furnace to make a wooden mold, you can cast the shell of the popcorn machine.
Although the ironmaking technology of this era is not high, and there are many impurities in the iron, the requirements for the shell are not high, so it is passable in terms of adaptability and safety.
In this, the most important link is the problem of sealing. Only when the sealing problem is solved, the air in the furnace will not leak after heating and expanding, and finally achieve the purpose of expanding the corn and rice particles.
Fortunately, Liu Cheng still worked hard and finally solved this problem. Now that popcorn is brought in, it proves that this machine has succeeded.
"How many units can you make in a day?"
"If you add one more person, I can make ten units a day."
Liu Cheng seemed very confident.
"I'll just add someone to you, the salary is set by you, and if you do a good job, you can reward him appropriately. Just keep the accounts clear. ”
"Doesn't the fourth master need to send someone to take care of the accounts?"
"You don't have much business, it's not complicated, you don't need to send it, you just take care of it yourself, and the accounts will be recorded after you have a cup of tea a day. Wait until there is more business in the future, and then think about the accounts. ”
"In addition, there are a few things you have to do these days. The first is to continue the experiment to see how long it takes to produce a pot, how much coal is burned in a pot, how many pots are produced in an hour, and when the time comes, calculate the output and cost. ”
The backwardness of this era is not only reflected in the technical level, but also in the management of agriculture, handicrafts and commerce.
In many cases, production is based largely on experience and some ancestral patterns. Lack of data to back it up. As for the comparative scientific data analysis, there are even fewer of them.
Asking Liu Cheng to collect and sort out these data is to summarize a set of business models in the future. At that time, as long as this set of patterns is handed over to the operator, he can get started in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, according to these figures, a person's daily output and profitability can be deduced, which can provide data support for future cost accounting and profit division, making this model more operable.
Understanding the situation clearly, Jia Min began to write a letter, and when he finished writing, he handed it to Liu Cheng.
"You take my letter and go to Fang Xiucai, if you are short of money in the future, you will go to him to ask for it, and you can discuss other things with him. During this time, you don't want to go back to the wilderness. The matter of the popcorn machine is still to be kept secret. The main task now is to produce at full capacity. In a month, you have to prepare 200 units for me. ”
Popcorn is a typical popular food that can be eaten by both men and women, young and old.
Although the Dade Dynasty was not the land of abundant food and clothing, the world had been peaceful for a long time, and the people's lives were generally stable.
If you have a lot of money, you can buy popcorn directly. If you don't have enough money, you can have food at home, and you can take the grain and pay some processing fees, or use the grain to replace the processing fee.
As long as this business comes out, it will definitely be popular in the streets and alleys of urban and rural areas. It's no wonder Liu Cheng is so excited.
At noon, I went back to the cultivation and reading courtyard for dinner, and I didn't see Ping'er and Qingwen, probably because he said bad things about Jia Min behind his back, and called Jia Min to bump into him, so he didn't dare to look at his face, so he ran to hide somewhere.
In the afternoon, Feng Sanniang and Nan'er took back the order from the tooth store and the color line purchased back. At noon, Mrs. Wang sent Jin Chu'er to tell Jia Min that the ancestor had agreed to the matter of making locks, and if he was ready, he would hurry up and start the operation.
Looking at the meaning, the old ancestor was very concerned about this matter, and seemed to be a little more anxious than Jia Min.
In fact, the reason why the ancestor readily agreed to this plan was that he didn't care how much money he could make. In her opinion, such a gadget, even if it makes money, will not make a few dollars.
What she fancied was the tragic part of Jia Min's plan.
Through this incident, the information will be transmitted to the emperor, even if the emperor does not cancel the errand of the bus and carriage in the future, if it is not done well in the future, the punishment will be lighter, in order to win the emperor's sympathy. In the future, it will be good to open up the net.
It's not enough to just have a money-making plan and prospects, but there is still a lot of meticulous work to be done to really accept it.
Since it's a new thing, no one has done it before, and it's hard to say whether they will be able to make money in the future.
Therefore, in the design of the project program, we have to put a lot of effort into it.
Therefore, Jia Min adopted the strategy of first less and then more, first easy and then difficult.
On the first day, it is the simplest pattern, as long as the color line is returned, most of the maids and women can be made up in two hours.
The reason for this is that they can come tomorrow to deliver the goods and get the processing fees back.
The processing fee was cashed here, and those who were watching saw it and came up one after another.
Sure enough, there weren't many people who came on the first day, only seven or eight maids-in-law, and they were all some rough sprinklers. Among the subordinates in the house, they also belong to the bottom, which is equivalent to cleaning and the like.
Jia Min knew that it was useless to rely on an executive order from the beginning for such a thing. The most effective way is to lure money benefits.
Sure enough, after the processing fee was cashed in for delivery the next day, there were more people who came to inquire about the first batch of maids and women yesterday.
Jia Min originally planned to hand over the matter of the handmaiden plan to Ping'er to operate. However, judging from the situation in the past few days and the actions of inspecting the market, Ping'er is actually not suitable for this errand, but Feng Sanniang has shown talent and talent in this regard. So, Jia Min appointed Feng Sanniang to be in charge of the project.
It's not that Ping'er is incompetent, it's just that in terms of market acumen and pioneering, she is not suitable. Ping'er's specialty lies in housekeeping. If she is placed in the administrative department, she is a good hand, but if she is placed in the marketing department, she may be in a mistake.
If you use people in the right place, they are talents. If it's in the wrong place, it's not talent.
In the past two days, Jia Min has not done anything else, mainly staring at the procedures such as the issuance, registration, collection, acceptance, accounting and technical requirements of the locks, the whole process has been established, and the business model has been established in accordance with this set of procedures. In the future, just follow this procedure, and you can basically work normally.
Like this kind of raw materials and the market at both ends of the processing project, the operation, is relatively simple.
Qingwen didn't run away this time, Jia Min arranged her to the link of technical guidance and acceptance.
Qingwen was naturally reluctant at first, but Jia Min spoke, and said bad things about Jia Min behind her back that day, and was caught by Jia Min, so she had no choice but to come.
On the first day, I had a bitter face, and there were some stumbles. The next day it was a bit of a change. On the third day, I liked this errand.
How fast did you change? It's still related to Qingwen's character.
Technical guidance is a good role for others. Quality acceptance is an errand that can always find fault with others, and others dare not say anything.
This just gives full play to Qingwen's sharp teeth, mean speech, and love to have the upper hand, and when she does this, she is still high-sounding, and others can't say anything about her. It made her feel a full sense of presence.
Jia Min also fooled her from time to time to encourage her. So Qingwen finally found her place. began to call the fourth master over and over again, and even praised Jia Min a few words in front of Ping'er, which made Ping'er mutter in her heart, wondering why Qingwen changed so quickly.
Several other parties related to the bus and carriage have naturally been paying attention to Jia Min's movements in the past few days.
Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Jia Yu and even Jia Zheng, who has always been reluctant to be a director, sent people to ask Jia Min about the bus and carriage.
The angry Jia Mu scolded while knocking on the crutch, and at the same time strengthened her mind to take Jia Min as a substitute for the dead ghost.
The Admiral of Jiumen and Yin of Shuntian Mansion were naturally also paying attention, and even sent their master to Jia Mansion to inquire, and Jia Min also said the same, saying that it would naturally resume operation at that time.
For Jia Min's words, they naturally won't believe it easily. According to what they knew, Jia Min hadn't done anything at all in the matter of the bus and carriage these days.
So I began to think about the way back, and prepared to draft a recital, and when the time came, I would play it as soon as possible to cure Jia Min for the crime of bullying the king, so that I could get rid of it.
Another related party is Niu Jizong. Niu Jizong, Chen Ruiwen and Ma Shangde were a little breathless, and they studied with Liu Fang many times. They even released people to visit carpenter shops and car shops outside the city to find out if Jia Min secretly ordered vehicles, but none of them received Jia Min's order.
This information both relieved them and plunged them into more suspicion.
What kind of fame is this Jia Laosi playing? Could it be that he really admitted defeat and left it to the emperor's disposal?
No matter how you think about it, Jia Min is not such a person. Therefore, Jia Min must be bluffing, waiting for the last moment, to bargain with them.
Therefore, they have to wait and stay with Jia Min to the end.
In fact, they had no choice but to wait.
The emperor's decree came down on the fifth day of the eighth month, and according to the decree, the bus and carriage should resume operation on the 20th day of August.
Today is August 14, and tomorrow is August 15, which is a very important Mid-Autumn Festival of the year.
At this time of the year, it was already the busiest time for the government to start preparing for the festival, and although it was also preparing this year, it did not have the relaxed and lively atmosphere of previous years. On the contrary, because of the bus and carriage incident, there is a pessimistic and depressing atmosphere.
At this time, Jia Min sent Ping'er to inform the ancestors, saying that the ancestors don't have to worry, tomorrow, August 15, the bus and carriage business will be officially opened, and the emperor's order will be completed five days ahead of schedule.
Jia Mu was naturally happy when she got the news.
However, after being happy for a while, I was depressed again.
Brother Min didn't have anything in his hands, and he didn't see him do anything, how could he resume operations, and he was five days ahead of schedule, and he overfulfilled the task?
Ping'er naturally didn't know, but said that Fourth Master Min said that he had his own ideas, and others didn't care.
Jia Mu wanted to scold again, but finally held back, knocked on the crutch, and said loudly:
"It's time for the festival, it's time to be happy, it's time for us to have the last festival!"
The old lady also played the game of addiction to death.
