Chapter 233: An epoch-making invention

The next day, Qin Xiang got up early.

It was too late last night, and she slept very soundly. However, it was about a previous sleep, although I didn't sleep much, but I woke up early, and I was very energetic.

He turned his head to look at the man who had stretched out his arms and incorporated himself into his arms, and a light smile overflowed from the corners of his lips.

It's rare to see Han Yunxiao's sleeping face. He has always been an early riser, and people are resistant to tossing. No matter how ridiculous she was pulled the night before, she usually got up early the next day. Even if you can't get up, you have to drag her to bed together.

Today is good, she woke up early, he was still dreaming.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but reach out and play with his eyelashes, the man was handsome, and even his eyelashes were better than others. Obviously a big man, but the long eyelashes are jealous.

The vain gesture was made, but in the end I was not willing to give up. He is too vigilant to sleep, Qin Xiang doesn't want to wake him up.

It was only as soon as she moved, and Han Yunxiao stretched out his arms around her waist in a daze, and stuffed the person into his arms. Looking at that stance, it was as if he was going to cut open her ribs and stuff her into her hot chest.

Qin Xiang snuggled against his chest, listening to the pounding and powerful heartbeat, and a sense of security arose.

But after only staying quietly for a while, Qin Xiang gently moved his arm, picked up the dress and put it on under the man's confused gaze.

"I'll go freshen up first, and you can lie down for a while."

After asking for hot water to wash, Qin Xiang looked through the gifts he bought from the capital. Some brought two small buns to the family, and some brought them to the seedlings. The other part is to be brought to Old Man Yang.

"Why don't you sleep for a while?"

In a gentle tone, the stretched arms pulled her into his arms, and the slightly cool hair touched the man's hot chest. Qin Xiang stretched out his hand and pushed his chest without a shirt, and said angrily: "It's very cold in the morning, and I don't wear a shirt." ”

His figure is simply so good that it explodes, if it is more, it will be fat, and if it is less, it will definitely be a top-level model figure in modern times.

is not as strong and developed as ordinary warriors, giving people a faint deterrence, but every inch of texture is full of male strength and beauty, and it is extremely sexy.

Greedy lingering on his father-in-law's good figure, Qin Xiang retracted his gaze for a long time.

Han Yunxiao sat calmly on the chair as if he didn't notice it, and brought her to her thighs.

"The fire is strong, not cold." Seeing that she had put out all the gifts she bought, Han Yunxiao raised her eyebrows, "Are you going to visit Yang's house later?" ”

"I should have gone yesterday. Since you're awake, pack up and come with me after breakfast. ”

Han Yunxiao naturally would not refuse, and the couple ate a simple meal, brought gifts and went out.

The old craftsman's house was no different from the last time, except for the splendid bloom of a flower tree in the corner next to the wall.

"It's still comfortable for Xijing to look at." Qin Xiang took a deep breath of the air full of flowers, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a few knocks, a voice came from inside: "Come on, come on." ”

The old craftsman opened the door, and when he saw the two of them, he wrinkled his nose and snorted coldly: "I also said that I cooked for the old man every day, but it only happened a few times, and the person disappeared." ”

Qin Xiang hurriedly smiled, "Just in time, I went to the capital." This is a gift for you in the capital, you can see if it fits. As he spoke, he offered the gift he had prepared.

The old craftsman opened the gift box at will, and saw that it was a set of beautifully crafted carving knives, and couldn't help but play with it. Only then did he pretend not to care and said, "Reluctantly." ”

Qin Xiang couldn't help but smile, and pushed the dim sum he bought forward, "These are special pastries bought from the capital, and everyone says they taste good." I'll go out on the street and buy some food and cook you a full table of dishes later, what do you think? ”

The old craftsman glanced at Han Yunxiao and licked his mouth: "That fried chicken is not bad, one every day, I am very happy to eat it." ”

"Fried chicken is good, but you can't eat it every day. That stuff is greasy, and if you eat too much, it's hard to restrain it. Later, I'll go to the market and buy some ribs to make soup for you, and if I have fresh fish, I'll buy one to braise for you. ”

When the old craftsman heard this, his eyes lit up. "Not bad, not bad."

Qin Xiang snickered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. With such an old naughty child's temperament, you can laugh at it secretly, if you really do it in person, be careful that people are annoyed and angry.

"Xianggong, quickly help the old gentleman carry things in."

The old craftsman's surname is Yang, and acquaintances call him Old Man Yang, as for what Qin Xiang is called, it is unknown. The outside world calls him an old craftsman, which can be regarded as an affirmation of his craftsmanship and an honorific title.

After drinking tea and eating snacks, the old craftsman invited Qin Xiang to see his treasure with a show-off face.

In the huge carpentry workshop, all kinds of finished and semi-finished products are neatly placed, and the tools are neatly hung on the wall or stored in wooden boxes.

And Qin Xiang saw at a glance the sewing machine that was placed on the proper Zhongmu case, and she was thinking about it.

"This sewing machine really took me a lot of work, I used iron pear wood for the main body, and the other parts were made of bronze. You have a good drawing, otherwise you would not have been able to do it in seven days. The old craftsman stroked the brand-new sewing machine and sighed, "It's a pity that it takes too much effort to do this." Just those parts, it's too hard to build. ”

Qin Xiang looked at this epoch-making sewing machine, and he was also full of emotion.

The world's first sewing machine, born in the 19th century, was not originally used to sew clothes. The sewing machine in front of Qin Xiang, whether it is shaped or constructed, is very different from the modern electric sewing machine.

However, if anyone is lucky enough to see an antique hand-cranked sewing machine in a museum, they will know the similarities between the two.

With today's technology, it is not easy to build a precision sewing machine. Therefore, Qin Xiang thought twice before choosing an ancient sewing machine that is easy to manufacture with today's technology.

In ancient times when production machines were low, the birth of a sewing machine could definitely make a big change in the garment industry. Nowadays, the production of clothes still relies on hand sewing. Even the best female workers can only make a maximum of three blouses. With the sewing machine, this phenomenon will change dramatically.

"Little girl, look at what you need."

"This is it!" The joy on Qin Xiang's face was beyond words, and he happily stroked the cold copper shell, not knowing what to say.

"What are you going to do with this sewing machine?" Although the old craftsman can understand the drawings, he does not understand the function of the sewing machine.

"Nowadays, it takes too much work to cut a suit. Even if you are a skilled hand, it takes a lot of time, which leads to the low number of ready-to-wear garments on the market and the high price. ”

Listening to Qin Xiang's eloquent conversation, the old craftsman also nodded. Therefore, ordinary people buy fabrics and cut them by themselves, and rarely go to the shop to buy ready-to-wear clothes. For a piece of the cheapest cloth for a tael of silver, you can make four blouses. And a shirt in a ready-to-wear shop costs five dollars. This price difference is really huge, and ordinary people will not be wronged.

With sewing machines, the speed of making clothes is faster, productivity is greatly improved, and the price of ready-to-wear clothes is also reduced. It seems to be making less money, but in fact, it has led to the development of the textile industry, which is a steady stream of trading.

Thinking of stuffing a large sum of money into his purse, Qin Xiang narrowed his eyes and smiled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken to eat.

"The old man doesn't know how to sew, and he can't make clothes." The old craftsman rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Seeing that the weather is hot, it's time to make summer shirts." The little girl used this sewing machine to make a whole for the old man, and let the old man try whether the sewing machine was good or not. ”

"Naturally." Qin Xiang said happily: "I don't know what fabric the old gentleman likes, so I'll go to the cloth shop to choose one or two." ”

"Feel free to do it." The old craftsman waved his hand and said indifferently: "I'm an old man, so I don't pay so much attention." ”

After the two of them left Yang's house, Qin Xiang was going to go to the cloth shop on the street to have a look. Suddenly, he heard a cold snort in his ear, and his arm was clenched in the man's palm.

"What's wrong?" She looked up in confusion and saw a flash of dissatisfaction on his face.

"You're going to make clothes for him?" Han Yunxiao said dissatisfiedly, his gloomy gaze swept over the Yang Mansion, "He is an old man, what new clothes are he wearing." ”

"The old gentleman has done me such a big favor, just making a dress, it's nothing." Qin Xiang looked at the sky and said, "Hurry up and go to the cloth shop, and I'll go buy some vegetables later." ”

Han Yunxiao became more and more dissatisfied, this old man was a greedy man when he was young, but when he got older, it became more and more intense, and he even had to take advantage of him.

"If you do it for him, you will do it for me."

Qin Xiang realized at this time, couldn't help laughing, hugged his arm and coquettishly: "Naturally, I want to do it for you, and I have to do it for the children." What I made for you is definitely better than his! ”

Han Yunxiao felt that it was not bad, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Qin Xiang blinked his eyes and teased him: "How old are you, and you are still jealous of the old gentleman." ”

Han Yunxiao said disapprovingly: "Let your own lady cut her clothes, what is jealousy?" If you want to say that he is stinky and shameless, he is old......"

Qin Xiang couldn't stop laughing at him, and Han Yunxiao was also a little embarrassed.

"Hurry up, let's go, the two of us are standing here like monkeys."

Seeing that passers-by were all looking over, Qin Xiang hurriedly dragged Han Yunxiao away.

I went to the cloth shop first, picked out two good flowers, and then went to the market to buy fresh vegetables.

"Where's the wine?" When the old craftsman saw that their hands were full, he rubbed his hands and thought about a good thing.

"Frozen Lake Spring, yours is indispensable."

If it was really wined, the old craftsman's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is good, that's it." ”

Qin Xiang looked at his greedy appearance and shook his head. "You also drink less, it's good for your health."

"Well, I still have a few years to live, so of course I have to drink enough." The old craftsman glanced at Qin Xiang, and then without waiting for her to react, he quickly ran away with the wine jug.

Qin Xiang sighed helplessly in place, "I won't chase, you run slowly and be careful of falling." ”

When the words fell, the old craftsman staggered. Qin Xiang's heart trembled when he saw it, but fortunately, he stood firm in the last step and jumped back to the house.

"What an old urchin."

Han Yunxiao raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "It's just an old scoundrel." ”
