Chapter 86: Lack of People
The consumption of 10,000 catties of dry cocoons a month, Zhao Laosan was also stunned.
If he didn't know very well in his heart that Lu Jian'an's silk workshop was a small workshop, he would have thought that it was a big silk workshop like the Wu family and the Wang family.
There are many silk reeling masters in those silk mills, and naturally there are many cocoons.
But Lu Jian'an's silk workshop only adds up to a few people.
Two more are apprentices.
What does it mean to be an apprentice?
That is, if you don't want to be a silk reeling master for three or five years.
It's conventional.
If it is really different from intimacy, that is, Xu Mengshan can follow Lu Jian'an.
But even so, it can't be 10,000 catties a month.
The second time he sent the cocoon, Lu Jian'an sent Xu Mengshan to send a letter, and Zhao Laosan sent the cocoon to the door.
The main thing is to see what the situation of the Lu family is.
When the silver is earned, it is natural to be happy.
But I don't understand it in my heart, and I'm always a little unhappy scratching my ears and cheeks.
came to the door, as soon as the goods were unloaded, Zhao Laosan looked at the empty warehouse, and his eyelids jumped.
.
It's amazing.
A month!
Lu Jian'an is a person with great ability.
If Lu Jian'an opens the door to accept apprentices.
If the Lu family wants to make a fortune, it is not easy to catch.
Zhao Laosan's heart itched.
There is also a fifteen-year-old girl in her family, although she has already been married, but if she can learn silk reeling with Lu Jian'an, they will grit their teeth and regret their marriage.
Lu Jian'an settled the account with Zhao Laosan, and Xu Mengshan gave the silver.
Zhao Laosan accompanied the smiling face, "Master Lu, it's convenient to take a step to speak." ”
looked at Lu Jian'an with respect.
Lu Jian'an was surprised, what else did this Zhao Laosan want to do.
immediately remembered Zhao Laosan's fifteen-year-old girl, by the way, she almost forgot about it, she was just trying to perfunctory Zhao Laosan, but seeing that 50,000 catties was just a blink of an eye.
As far as the speed of their family's silk reeling is concerned, it will not take a few months.
Moreover, she is ready to break the pattern of the sericulture industry in Fengshan County.
From only two seasons of silkworm raising a year, it has become possible to raise silkworms all year round.
More manpower is needed at home.
But counting on the three of them to reel the silk, they can't do it to death.
I didn't look at the past two days, and the matter of raising silkworms has become the three of Lu Jian'an and Mama Li Xu.
There is really no one at home.
"Zhao Shuitou, please come in that house."
Manpower is needed.
Zhao Laosan entered the house and sat down, "Master Lu, there is a fifteen-year-old girl below......"
"Zhao Shuitou, Master Reeling Silk looks at the scenery, in fact, no one knows the bitterness inside, just the hands every day are miserable, your daughter is fifteen years old, even if she learns to reel, it will probably be the end, but you also know that Master Reeling is passed down from generation to generation.
Since you want to learn from me, then you must enter my door, are you willing to do it? ”
Zhao Laosan hurriedly said, "Willing to do it!" Willing! Master Lu, if you can be a master of silk reeling, you will inevitably suffer this hardship, I know it in my heart. "It is a great blessing to have this creation.
There is no one who does not know that a serious silk reeling master will give at least 200 catties of millet and 30 catties of brown rice all year round, not to mention the monthly silver of five taels of silver, and make two sets of clothes all year round.
Can you be blessed without suffering?
Think beautifully.
Lu Jian'an shook his head, girls had no human rights in the old society, and what a father said was what he said.
"Zhao Shuitou, you want to send the child over, but let's go back and discuss, you should know that if you sign the contract, that is, the people of our Lu family have nothing to do with your Zhao family. Life and death are up to you, do you still have to send them like this? ”
Zhao Shuitou paused, this time he didn't answer so quickly, and he still hesitated.
Lu Jian'an comforted in his heart, at least he could see that Zhao Shuitou was a good father, at least he had to think about it.
It's not like some people don't care about life or death.
This is also a man of conscience.
It probably has something to do with Zhao Shuitou's barely passable family background.
"That's good! Master Lu, I'll go back and discuss it with his mother, thank you for your kindness. ”
How could he not know that he begged to come to the door, if Lu Jian'an agreed directly, he would probably have been overwhelmed with excitement, and he could still consider the life and death of the child.
This kind of great opportunity fell in front of him, and he could only be full of joy, and he could not take care of anything else.
Looking at it this way, Lu Jian'an is a good person.
Zhao Laosan went back.
Li Zhilin and Li Zhishan brothers came.
In another month, the mushroom harvest will be completed.
Not only the mushrooms will be harvested, but also their mulberry trees.
Not to mention anything else about this harvest, just the mulberry tree, they know that this yield will definitely be sold at a good price if it is sent to the big silk mill, they don't know what kind of water Lu Jian'an asked them to spray on the leaves every day, but since then, their mulberry leaves are obviously much more prosperous than other families.
Be in full leaf.
Pull the mulberry fields on both sides out of the eighteen streets.
Many people are still close to him, wanting to ask them what tricks they have.
The two brothers don't know.
They also came according to the method of planting mulberry trees in the past, the only difference was that there was a small watering can.
This is given by Lu Dong's family, it looks very simple, made of wood, and any carpenter can make it.
But they knew that the water in the watering can was different.
Anyway, every time the owner asked them to add something to a few refillable tanks, they didn't know what it was.
Anyway, it's just a squirt once a day.
The two of them came in high spirits just for the upcoming harvest season.
Of course, more importantly, the next month is also the last cocoon festival of the year.
Silk merchants from all over the world gathered.
Their Fengshan County is about to usher in the peak of their business.
This season of cocoon festival has been in full swing.
They're going to have cat winter, too.
Winters here aren't as cold as in the north, but they're not pleasant.
At this time, every household is not busy with anything.
They had to earn some change for the silk mill partiers.
This is also the harvest season for the owner.
Lu Jian'an discussed the harvest with the two brothers, and the mulberry leaves were naturally sold to their family.
It's about to be winter, even if they raise silkworms, mulberry leaves are not easy to preserve, their family does not have mulberry cellars and mulberry ponds to preserve mulberry leaves, those are only capable of being done by the big silk mill, and besides, what he is going to do this winter is not this.
The two brothers and Lu Jian'an finalized the plan.
If it is sold, it is necessary to contact the Chinese people in advance, and some of them are specialized in doing this, and Shuitou, like Shuitou, specializes in buying mulberry leaves and selling them to the silkworm farms of major silk mills, which is also a business that came into being.
The two brothers have a headache with those mushrooms, and they don't know what to do with this year's grain.
But the two of them thought in their hearts that Lu Jian'an had saved their lives to their family, and even if they were in a hurry, they didn't say anything in the end.
However, when Lu Jian'an asked them to leave, one person carried a bag of brown rice, which was two hundred catties.
Lu Jian'an is not bad at these, and the fields are also planted by her, so naturally Li Zhilin and them can't be hungry because of this.
