Chapter 16 Weaving the Dustpan

Charles first briefly disposed of the golden silk grass, took the front ends of the 20 golden silk grasses and aligned them, and tied them into a small bundle, and tied them into four or five bundles in a row.

Next, take a small bundle of golden grass, place it in the middle of another bundle of golden grass, and tie it tightly with cloth.

The above steps were repeated, and in the middle of these two bundles of golden silk grass, two more bundles of golden silk grass were tied.

A total of four bundles of golden silk were tied together, and Charles tied the head and middle ends of the four golden silk straws with cloth, so that a strong broom was formed.

In total, it took a third of the time it took for the candles to burn, eighty pieces of goldenrod, and five strips of black cloth.

Charles handed the finished broom to William, "Lord Baron, this is the broom you wanted." ”

William took the broom, swept it on the ground himself, felt its strength, and then gave it to Charles, "It feels a little softer." ”

"Lord Baron, this is simple, as long as you increase the number of golden threads, the hardness of the broom's sweeping things will increase." Charles replied.

He made more bundles of golden grass, which he tied tightly together to make a bloated broom.

William tried the "fat" broom, and felt that the strength was about the same, so he nodded, although it was a little ugly.

"Charles, make a new broom according to the standards of this broom."

"Well, Lord Baron, I wonder how many brooms you want?" Charles doesn't care about authenticity.

William estimated, calculated according to one per household, and then counted the wear, "Charles, let's make two hundred brooms first." ”

"Two hundred?" William's words frightened his followers again.

"Lord Baron, do you want to sell brooms to the villagers?" Charles couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, my clever Charles!" William gave an appreciative look.

"But, Lord Baron, those villagers won't pay a Poole copper coin for a useless broom! This is not Sail City! Old John said directly.

"They'll buy it, old John, trust me!" William swore to them.

"Well, I hope so!" What else could old John say?

"Then Lord Baron, I'll start making broomsticks!" Charles didn't want to waste any time, rolled up his sleeves and got ready to get started!

"Wait, Charles!" William put a stop to Charles's resolute behavior.

Charles looked at William in bewilderment.

"One person's speed is too slow, Charles! Tell me, two hundred brooms, how long will you make them alone? William said.

"If I don't sleep tonight, I'll probably be done tonight, uh, maybe a little more time, well, no later than tomorrow." Charles frowned and muttered.

"Still too slow, Charles! I need to be a little faster. I need to see two hundred brooms by tonight! William shook his head.

Charles had a look of embarrassment on his face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Baron, I will do my best!" ”

"I don't want you to do your best, I want to do it!" William still shook his head.

Charles's face was full of bitterness, he thought about it, and said helplessly, "Lord Baron, I can't do it alone!" ”

"Yes, Charles, you can't do it alone!" William nodded in agreement with his statement, "Then have you ever thought that what one person can't do, can be solved by a group of people?" ”

"Lord Baron, do you mean to let John and them come and make a broom for me?" As soon as Charles spoke, Old John's face was not very good-looking, how could he become a broom maker while talking?

"They have more important things, Charles, and I can't do what you ask." William refused with a smile, just kidding, there are only so many people under William's hands who can be used, let them all make brooms, so what's the matter, doesn't William have to do it himself?

Charles had a look of disappointment on his face.

"Alright, Charles!" William patted Charles on the shoulder and said, "Is there anyone in the village who can make brooms?" ”

"What do you mean, Lord Baron?"

"I'll let Old John recruit the villagers in the village, and you will be in charge of training them, wouldn't that be much faster? Every day, I pay the villagers three Poole Coins, and for every twenty brooms you make, you get one Poole Copper. This is an added bonus. William said.

"Then I'll be fine, Lord Baron!" Charles Dow.

"Charles, I have something for you to make." William Dow.

"Your Excellency, Lord Baron, there is nothing that Charles cannot do." Charles is now proud.

"Don't talk too much, I also want you to weave a dustpan and a basket!" William said what he wanted to do.

With a broom, how can you live without a garbage shovel and trash can?

"Dustpan? Basketful? Charles paused for a moment, he understood the basket, but he didn't understand what the dustpan was, "Lord Baron, what is the dustpan?" ”

The "......" dustpan is a kind of container in the country where William lived in his previous life, which has a three-sided help, an open side, and a handle on it, which can hold sand, fertilizer, and dung stone.

But this world has not yet appeared, and William uses a transliterated reading, so that he can't say why, so he just sits down, pulls over the golden silk and grass, and begins to weave it for Charles.

The place where William lived in his previous life was the famous hometown of bamboo products in the nearby ten miles and eight towns, where children had to help their parents and elders weave all kinds of bamboo products from an early age, such as baskets, baskets, straw hats and the like.

Growing up in this environment, William was exposed to it and learned how to weave bamboo products with one hand.

In the previous life, these containers were made with either wicker or bamboo.

None of these Williams had.

However, William found that the golden silk grass detected by the magic mirror had good toughness and could also be used to weave a dustpan.

The weaving dustpan should start from the bottom first, use the branches to form the word "rice", and then twist the holes.

After the big hole is twisted, it is necessary to circle the bottom, that is, the eight heads of the word "rice" are bent left and right, into an angle of 45 °, into 16 groups, and then use a strip to take the method of pressing one to pick one, weaving 3 circles ~ 5 circles, and fixing the grouped strips.

After the bottom of the circle, it is necessary to weave the door, prepare to leave the side of the door, and choose any group of "rice characters" to be the center of the door.

In the center group, 4 slivers were inserted to become 6, and the remaining 15 groups were each continued to insert 1 sliver, which became 3.

A group of 6 strips in the center of the door is divided into two groups, 3 on the top and 3 on the bottom, respectively, twisted to the left and right, according to the principle of picking one and pressing one and pressing one to pick one, and arrange them into the strips of other groups.

The two groups on the left and right of the center group are also programmed into the other groups.

Then I started to make up the gang, and after the gang, I had to throw off the beam.

The third group on the left and the third group on the right on both sides of the center group of the door need to throw out the beams. The eighth group of left numbers and the number of right numbers are also the eighth groups throwing out of the beam. These 3 groups of throwing beams continue to insert slivers on the gang, and the continued slivers are inserted into the root of the gang.

Finally, it's time to twist the edge and wrap the beam.

After wrapping the beams, a dustpan is braided.

William was very good at making up these things in his previous life, and in this life, because he broke through to the knight level, his physical fitness is higher, and he can make it up faster.

Before a candle was burned, William had already made a dustpan and tried it, and the quality was not bad.

"Charles, do you see clearly? Will you make it up? William asked Charles, the carpenter.

Charles paused for a moment, frowned, thought for a moment, and said with a certain certainty, "Lord Baron, I'm not sure, but I can try." ”

"Okay, you try!"

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it!

William also felt that it would be better to try it out.

As for the golden grass, there is no shortage of it.

The whole Nisse village is only how big it is, and the fact that the Mark family really exchanged the gold silk grass for three Poole copper coins spread throughout the village at once.

The villagers of the village went crazy, and the whole family went into battle together, pulling golden silk grass everywhere.

A few villagers also got into a fight over pulling weeds, and after the fight, they continued to pull the golden silk grass.

From time to time, villagers come to the outside of the earthen house and exchange gold silk grass for Poole copper coins.

Old John and Little John were busy outside, and even Eddie, the blacksmith, was called out to keep order.

A steady stream of golden silk grass was sent into the house, and a steady stream of Poole copper coins were also taken into the hands of the villagers of Nisse Village, and then the villagers who were corrupted by the money desperately went to find the golden silk grass again, and then more golden silk grass was transported to the earthen house to wait for Old John's count......

The cycle goes on and on, and it becomes a cycle!

In the room, William looked at Charles, the carpenter who was scratching his head and scratching his blind with the half-finished product in his hand, and sighed in his heart, feeling that he was in too much of a hurry, and said, "Charles, I'll make it up again for you, and you can follow it while watching my movements!" ”

"Yes, Lord Baron." Charles's face was flushed, not tired, but anxious.

The older people are, the more worried they are that they have no use value, because if they have use value, it means that they are still useful and can continue to survive.

And this is what Charles is worried about at the moment, so he is anxious when he can't learn to weave a dustpan!

William made up a dustpan from scratch again for Charles, and this time, he slowed down his movements and pointed at Charles at all times.

Charles is an old carpenter after all, and with William's meticulous guidance, although he still stumbled, he finally made a dustpan out by himself.

Although the quality is average, it is a great encouragement for Charles.

With the first, there is a second, there is a third.

Needless to say, Charles himself made up a dustpan with great interest.

It wasn't until noon when the sun rose in mid-sky that Charles made a total of three dustpans and mastered the craft thoroughly.

"Well done, Charles!" William was not sparing in praise.

"All this is thanks to you, Lord Baron!" Charles hurriedly said modestly.

At this time, Old John and the others also temporarily ended the purchase of golden grass, and each walked in with a large pile of golden silk grass in both hands, piled up in the corner.

The golden grass took over half of the house.

"Lord Baron, I have suspended the acquisition! So far, we've paid a total of 387 Poole copper coins, do you think these gold threads are enough? Old John saw Charles' basket, and his face flashed with curiosity, and he asked William for instructions.

"It's not enough, old John, I need more ingredients!" William didn't have to think about it, he said.

"But...... Alright, Lord Baron, I'll go and inform the villagers. After seeing Charles's handiwork, John Sr. didn't stick to it so much.

"Don't be in such a hurry, old John! Food is the source of motivation. Let's enjoy a lunch first, and it's never too late to work. "William still takes good care of his subordinates.

"Lunch?"

Only then did William remember that apart from the nobles, the commoners of the Duchy of Fadel did not have the concept of lunch.

They eat only two meals a day.

The first meal is eaten at about ten o'clock, while the second meal is eaten around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

And at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, they didn't eat.

William smiled and said to them, "Yes, lunch!" Go get the bread and let's have a lighter lunch first. ”

"It's too extravagant, Lord Baron, I think, we don't need it!" Old John said, though his eyes had betrayed him.

And little John's eyes were full of longing.

Everyone had been busy all morning, and everyone was hungry.

"This is an order from the Baron, are you going to disobey my orders?" William feigned anger.

"Of course not!" Old John hurriedly said.

"So what are you waiting for! Go get the bread! William turned his anger into joy.

Old John and the others had a rare lunch.
