On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, it was the last trip to Xie Hui's old house to send supplies to Xie Hui's old house before the first year. He sent chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables, fruits, charcoal and wine for the new tenants, as well as candy for the children and soft snacks for the elderly.

Although there are sick and injured among the new tenants, most of them are in good health, and after a period of peaceful, safe and unfettered days in Xie Jiawan, their spirits have recovered, but they are trapped around the Xie family's old house, unable to go out to breathe, and are a little depressed. There are also a few people who are addicted to alcohol, and the children are clamoring to go out and play or something. Now that they saw the things sent by Xie Huizhi, they were all overjoyed, and they came up with a hula and said a lot of good things around the little boy, which made Xie Huizhi's face flush and run away embarrassed.

When he returned to the old mansion and talked to people seriously, he received a pleasantly surprised good news.

The final drawings of the carriage have come out, the main body of the old carriage of the Xie family has been disassembled, and the wood and other materials needed have also been piled up in the study courtyard in the northeast direction, ready to be used at any time. The carpenters discussed and planned to start work on time on the fifth and sixth days of the Lunar New Year. They have a lot of manpower, and they can finish the decoration work before the Lantern Festival and deliver the carriage to the Xie family. In the past, they worked under General Hangzhou and needed to rush work day and night, but now it is much easier.

This improved carriage can't be too particular because the Xie family is in a hurry to use it. But by the time they started to build the second car, many details could be done better, and a few new ideas that were too late to test could also be used.

As for the shuttle loom that Xie Mulin wanted before, it has been completed, and Xie Huizhi can bring it back today.

Xie Huizhi turned the loom that was a little familiar but a little unfamiliar, and couldn't believe it: "This is done?" That's it...... Trough? ”

Among the new tenants, there were three carpenters who were famous on the official register, in addition to the diligent carpenter Xu who Xie Huizhi was most familiar with, there was also a master Zhou who was the leader of the craftsmen, and a carpenter who was injured in the leg. Originally, only Carpenter Xu took over the commission of the Xie family, but the other two had nothing to do, and their lives were too boring, so they also participated. Now the three of them are standing in front of Xie Huizhi.

Zhou Dajiang twisted his beard and looked proud: "This is already done." Miss Xie Er's idea is really whimsical, just add a little mechanism, and the speed of weaving can be greatly improved. It's a pity that this loom is too small, and when it comes to those two or three feet wide looms, the shuttle can play a greater role! My mother-in-law is the daughter of a weaver family, and she used to work in a weaving workshop in Hangzhou, but she has never seen such a good loom. If you build a few more large looms with this kind of shuttle, you don't know how many more good pieces of cloth you can weave in a year, and you can earn several times more silver! ”

He himself was a little moved.

Xie Huizhi hurriedly smiled and saluted him and thanked him: "Master Zhou has worked hard, all thanks to you!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Master Zhou laughed and said, "Go back and ask the second young master for me, I also want to build two such looms for my mother-in-law, I don't know if the second miss is allowed?" ”

With a wave of his hand, Xie Huizhi made the decision for his sister: "What is this?" Uncle just build it! ”

The other party's eyes flashed, and he laughed and said, "Then thank you to the second young lady and the third young master!" ”

Xie Huizhi happily finished his words of congratulations for the New Year, and then took someone to carry the loom onto the ship and left. A few carpenters sent him out of the door, and when he returned to the front hall of the old mansion, Carpenter Xu began to speak to Master Zhou: "Boss, what did you just say to Third Young Master Xie about that?" It's still a kid, don't fool anyone. ”

The carpenter moved his injured leg to the edge of the chair and sat down, and said, "Yes, you shouldn't sell the loom that Miss Xie Er came up with for money, right?" Aren't you afraid of offending people? We still live on someone else's turf! ”

Zhou Dajiang glanced at them: "What are you talking about?" Can I still do that stupid thing? It's just that I want to build a better loom for the mother-in-law and daughters at home, so that they can save more when they work. Don't you look at that loom and don't get impressed? Don't want to get one for your mother-in-law? ”

The two carpenters glanced at each other: "Let's just do it, as long as we have work to do and can afford to support the family, the mother-in-law and children of the family don't need to get up early and work greedily to weave and sell for money." "Yes, what's more, our old business is to build cars, isn't it that the new carriage style that Miss Xie Er came up with is more valuable?"

Zhou Dajiang twisted his beard and was silent, although he knew more about looms because of his wife's background, and it can be said that he took over the later work of the transformation of the shuttle loom, but he was originally a craftsman who made carriages and wagons, and he was still a leader of craftsmen, not the kind of honest person who was immersed in work, of course, he could see the value of Xie Mulin's carriage drawings. If it weren't for the fact that there were still a lot of ideas above him, it seemed impossible to realize it in a short time, and he felt that he would be able to build a new horse-drawn carriage that would have swept the world!

What a shame!

He looked at the two former subordinates, and from the day they left Hangzhou City, he knew that it was impossible for the three of them to return to the old days. Their weight is too light, not enough for Commander Jin to bother to protect them, and to help them find a way out of the General Mansion of the Pillar State, it is already not thin on them.

And the little young master of the Xiao family also said very clearly, he would not force them to do things for themselves, but if they could really do things for this kind of rising star in the army with a bright future, wouldn't it be much better than working outside to make a living single-handedly? He used to be an official among craftsmen, where was he willing to return to recklessness? But if he really wants to do things for Xiao Rui, he must first win the hearts of these two companions, let them become his helpers, and show his talents and abilities to the new owner, and he must have more scruples when acting.

Zhou Dajiang said to his two former companions: "Lao Xu, Lao Ma, I also know what you are worried about. Our little proprietor is so familiar with the Xie family, and the subordinates sent to Huyin County to open a shop haven't even seen us, so he first went to meet the third young master Xie and the second miss Xie, which shows how much he values the Xie family. Perhaps, in the future, that Miss Xie Er will be the wife of our little owner. If I offend the owner's wife first, how will I do things for the owner in the future?

"Don't worry, I know the measure, it's really just to build two looms for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home, weave a few pieces of cloth in my spare time, and make clothes and sew bedding at home, and I won't sell them. When that Miss Xie Er becomes our owner's wife, am I afraid that I won't be able to use this new loom and carriage to go out and make money? How old are the little owners? We don't have to wait too long. This bit of patience, I still have it! ”

As soon as he said this, Carpenter Xu and Carpenter Ma finally settled down: "That's good, that's good." Actually, our new owner is very good, and Miss Xie Er often has wonderful ideas, if they really become a couple, it will be a great thing! ”

"The little owner's mind is still quite easy to understand. We have already joined him, and we are his people, so we simply take advantage of the time we live in Xie Jiawan to do more work and help the little proprietor please Miss Xie Er. Miss Xie Er is happy, and he will take credit to the little owner, and he will get the beauty back as soon as possible, and we may be able to get more rewards! ”

The three craftsmen talked and laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful and harmonious.

At this time, I don't know who secretly opened the wine jar that should have been opened during the New Year, intending to secretly drink a few sips of wine to relieve their cravings, but the smell of wine dispersed outside, and when they smelled it, they couldn't sit still.

Zhou Dajiang shouted in front of him to stop, and Xu Carpenter grabbed the horse carpenter who was injured in his foot, and the three of them went to the house where the wine jar was placed.
