The two-, three-, and seven-room loom workshops will not begin formal construction until the end of the year. However, the Wen family has quickly allocated a sum of three hundred taels of silver and handed it over to the Fang family in the seventh room as the funds for the third room to invest in the workshop.

She will not ask about the specific affairs of the workshop, and will leave it to Qifang to take care of it. She and the Song family in the second room only plan to sit and wait for the dividends.

As if he had been beaten with chicken blood, Fang pulled her husband Xie Liu, and couldn't take care of it for even a year, so she began to get busy. The location of the workshop, the materials needed to build the looms, the hiring of reliable and skilled craftsmen, and so on.

By the way, Wen's also asked the shopkeeper Mao, who returned to his hometown for the New Year, to help mention one or two, saving the seven-room couple from getting used to small businesses, and there will be omissions in industries that they have never set foot in.

Xie Mulin received a message from the old mansion and learned that the carriage had been basically renovated, and only the last exterior decoration was missing, so he immediately took his third brother Xie Huizhi and ran to Xie Jiawan to accept the finished product. If she had any other suggestions for the modified carriage, she could have made it while it was too late.

Zhou Dajiang and the others seem to have a good year, even if they have started work since the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone looks energetic and ruddy. Carpenter Ma's face was still rounded, and the change was very obvious compared to the skinny and fragmented when he was an injured person years ago, probably because of the relationship between good food and drink and good recuperation in the New Year.

When Xie Mulin saw the state of the three of them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glad that he had not yet become a black-hearted capitalist.

There are also a few other new tenants, although they have not participated in the renovation project, but they also have to run around the carriage a few times from time to time, and make some reliable and unreliable suggestions, as if they are idle. It seems that their seclusion in the Xie family's old mansion is indeed quite comfortable.

Xie Mulin circled around the carriage, this half-used carriage that had been used in Xie's house for a certain number of years, the reason why she was selected to be the object of transformation was because it was big and stable enough.

The carriage is wide and has plenty of room for retrofits. The body is strong and stable, and it can reduce the amount of work for transformation. The material of the carriage itself is very good, the manufacturing process is also good, except for the relatively simple appearance, the quality of the car is not said. When it was built, the Xie family was still millionaires, so the housekeeper found the best car workshop in Huzhou Mansion and customized it at a high price, which was specially used by Xie Pu during his time in Huyin. However, Xie Pu has been out almost all these years, so the carriage is usually parked in the new house, and occasionally the sect and the second room will be borrowed to make the envoy, and the parts of the body are not worn out much, and the car is still very strong.

Nowadays, the exterior of the carriage is not much different from the original, except for a new layer of waterproof and snowproof varnish, which makes the body look newer, but the interior has changed a lot.

A layer of board is added to the inner wall of the carriage, and there is a mezzanine layer inside, which strengthens the effect of fire and wind prevention, and also makes the interior of the carriage warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The mezzanine of the carriage floor is thicker, and when you walk on it, you can feel some trembling under your feet, as if something elastic has been added under the plywood. There is a thin layer of plywood, and this elastic layer will not affect the movement of people in the car, but it will undoubtedly increase the effect of shock absorption.

Xie Mulin was very satisfied.

Looking at the interior of the carriage according to her design draft, she is even more satisfied with the addition of folding seats, small tables, storage space on both sides, and a fireproof copper box specially reserved for charcoal basins and small tea stoves in the corner.

Zhou Dajiang also said to her: "The second lady wants to cover the window screen, even if the curtain is blown open by the wind, it will not let outsiders see the situation in the car." It's easy to do, but it's winter, so it's better to add something to protect you from the wind and cold. So the villain specially modified the car window, and now he only needs to buckle the yarn drawer to prevent wind and outsiders from peeping. This yarn drawer is made of heavy yarn in winter, and then covered with a layer of cotton curtain to ensure that there will be no half of the cold wind blowing into the car. In spring and summer, you can change to a light gauze material, which is very convenient. ”

Xie Mulin took the yarn drawer he handed over, installed it with his own hands, and removed it again, making sure that this thing was indeed very convenient.

Zhou Dajiang really deserves to be the technical talent she values, not only can she transform what she wants into physical objects, but also add her own creativity and innovation, how can such a talent be called Xiao Rui to pry into his hands?!

Xie Mulin secretly choked in his heart.

She was very satisfied with the results of the transformation of the carriage, and then she only needed to put on the soft decoration, and then clean it inside and out, and then it could be transported back to Xie's house for use. Master Zhou and the others got the silver given by Xie Mulin, and generously used the high-quality varnish, so they did not leave much smell and affect the health of the passengers.

Xie Mulin paid his wages and New Year's red envelopes in one go, and also made up an extra 20 taels of silver as a reward for the three craftsmen to work overtime during the New Year's holiday. She told them about the loom workshop, and said to Master Zhou: "It's a pity that you can't stay in Huyin, otherwise I will definitely ask you to sit in the workshop yourself." Where can my uncle and aunt compare with the folk craftsmen you found? ”

Zhou Dajiang was in a happy mood when he heard it, and he was very useful for Xie Mulin's "you", and said politely: "It's just a small shuttle slot, it's nothing, the second lady is too polite." The little one wishes the second lady's loom workshop a prosperous and prosperous business. If there is anything that needs small help in the future, the second lady will write to our host, and the little one will definitely try her best to help! ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly thanked him solemnly.

Carpenter Xu and Carpenter Ma talked a few words in private, and seemed to be quite interested in the loom workshop, pulling over Xie Huizhi, who was familiar with each other, I don't know what they were talking about, and when the two sides separated, everyone showed a satisfied smile on their faces.

After Xie Mulin took Xie Huizhi back to Xie Jiajiao, the latter sent several other drawings given by Xu and Ma to the seventh room, which is said to be the idea of several other looms, and it is still unknown whether it can be successful, but if it can help the loom workshop in the future, there will no longer be only one loom to sell in the workshop.

Xie Liu and Fang's husband and wife were overjoyed, and after Xie Huizhi proved that he did not take the shares for nothing, he also returned home in a good mood, and began to start his hard study career again under the nose of his second brother, preparing for the county test in February.

He didn't take the county test seriously, just went through the motions. But from the moment he promised his brother, the serious brothers didn't think of letting him mess around. The third brother is obviously very smart, but he is just playful, and since he is going to end up, of course he has to take the exam seriously. How can the children of the Xie family's three rooms go through the motions in the examination room, but they are not on the list?

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This year's Lantern Festival, Huyin County is full of lights, Xie Jiajiao is also jubilant, and everyone is immersed in the festive atmosphere of the festival.

But the third room of the Xie family didn't care about the festival, except for eating some festive rice balls, flower cakes, and hanging a few festive lanterns, everyone in the family was preparing for the next day Xie Xianzhi and Xie Mulin's brother and sister's trip.

Early tomorrow morning, the two brothers and sisters will take a few male and female servants, and together with the shopkeeper Mao, they will return to the capital after leaving for more than half a year, and pick up Xie Yinghui, Xie Yingrong and Aunt Dajin.
