Chapter 392: Building an Ancient Sewing Machine

"I think if Uncle can build something for me, he will be able to do it." Shen Anan decided to make a bold innovation and prepared to let Ning Zhifu let people make a real sewing machine. As long as their first machine is made, then there will be a second machine, a third machine. In the future, it will be easy to make clothes in batches.

And according to Shen An'an's vision, they don't just make clothes, she also plans to open a real clothing mall in Taoyuan Town, with clothes for adults, children, and men and women. It's similar to the model of a modern garment city, as long as their garment factory is opened, a master who makes clothes is hired at a high salary, and then they are trained to use machines, then everything will be fine.

And she has to prepare to add some trendy fabrics to make their clothes look even more different.

In fact, even if the fabric of her clothes is not as good as others, if the clothes are trendy, it is also something that can make a lot of money. However, if you want to think about the long term, you still have to have your own unique clothing materials.

"What do you want to do?" Governor Ning looked very interested.

"Well, I want someone to help me build a machine that I can use to make my own clothes, called a sewing machine."

"Sewing machines? How have I never heard that clothes are not all handmade? ”

Listening to Governor Ning's question, Shen Anan couldn't help but smile and said: "That's why I want to innovate and let machines replace us to make clothes, otherwise those big families can't see the prospects of our garment factory and won't invest money in us." ”

Ning Zhifu listened to Shen An'an's words and felt that it was reasonable, if this Women's and Children's Bureau could really be run, it would also be a great merit for the benefit of the country and the people. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "This is not difficult, Ah Ge will come back later, and it should not be difficult for him to pay a high price to find a few craftsmen to come back." ”

"Wait, if it comes to inviting someone, I want to invite someone back, this person has a clever mind and likes this kind of new thing the most, I think with his old man to supervise, we can also save a lot of effort." Of course, the person Shen An'an would think of was Lao Zhuang. Zhuang Lao and Shen An'an's personalities are very compatible, the key is that he specializes in this, maybe he will be inspired by Shen An'an, he will be able to make a sewing machine.

"Oh, if there's a suitable person, of course please." Ning Zhifu hurriedly echoed and said. He also considered that if he could invite someone he trusted, it would naturally be better than going out to invite a child.

The issue of the loyalty of these children needs to be considered, as well as the degree of secrecy of the machine, which must also be considered. In case their machine catches fire in the future, there are a lot of interests involved. Therefore, when Governor Ning was about to tell his son to invite someone, he had to find out the bottom first.

"With Uncle's words, I am relieved. Tomorrow without further ado, I have to go out once. Shen An'an knew that the Ning Governor's Mansion was more secure, and with the support of an official person like him, things would be much easier.

Ning Zhifu nodded and said: "Okay, let's go our separate ways, I'll let people go out to find skilled craftsmen, and you can also find available people here, let's try to get the machine you said out as soon as possible." ”

After Shen Anan returned to the guest room, he was thinking hard about the construction principle of the sewing machine and how to draw it, so as to draw a more specific construction diagram that could be understood by those masters at a glance.

The sewing machine was actually a family product of the eighties and nineties. Today's garment factories, in order to pursue high efficiency, are generally motor assembly lines.

The sewing machine in Shen An'an's memory is her mother's dowry, and the old sewing machine has always been placed in a very important position in her mother's room. Shen Anan's clothes when she was a child were often changed to her mother's clothes to be worn by her mother, and some were bought on the street to make them. As a result, their sewing machines are almost always off.

Even when eating, the sound of the sewing machine pedaling is often heard. But since the marketization of clothing, everyone no longer has to make clothes at home.

Because the clothes sold on the street are cheaper than the fabrics you buy on the street plus the labor cost of making clothes, which is more than half cheaper, and saves trouble and effort, and the key style is fashionable and comfortable, then who will use a sewing machine to make their own clothes at home.

At the beginning, the sewing machines were all imported products, and after purchasing the machines from abroad, the Chinese people slowly studied them, and finally figured out the principle, and then we had our own sewing machines.

In fact, the principle of sewing machine is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say simple. As long as you figure out the principle, everything can go smoothly. The construction of the sewing machine is actually a combination of crank linkage linkage. The most critical process is that the foot pedal of the sewing machine drives the crankshaft to drive the rotation of the big wheel, and then passes through the belt on the big wheel to drive the rotation of the main crankshaft of the machine head. The spindle is short connected to two iron rods that move up and down, and the crankshaft of the spindle part drives the lever to drive the rocker, and the sewing person coordinates the fabric in his hand with the pedal under his feet, and moves together to complete the real sewing work.

Shen Anan understands these truths, the key is that in this ancient era when the industry was underdeveloped and there was no fine industry at all, how to make modern machines was the biggest problem.

When he finished eating, it was rare that Ning Mufei was also present, so Ning Zhifu told Shen An'an's idea.

After Mrs. Ning heard this, she felt that Shen An'an's idea was very good, but Ning Mufei did not object, nor did she express her opinion.

This time, Shen Anan didn't have a confrontation with Ning Mufei, that was because she was thinking about the sewing machine, and she was also a little absent-minded when eating.

Mrs. Ning looked at her and was worried, not only helped her with vegetables, but also comforted her. "Ann girl, this matter of the Women's and Children's Bureau is a big matter, and I can't rush it. Fortunately, your uncle and we will stand on your side and support you, and I believe that we can always figure it out. ”

"Auntie, I also know this truth, I'm not in a hurry, in case it doesn't work, we will think of another way. I'm anxious now, I'm afraid that there won't be a skilled craftsman to make the machine I want. ”

Shen Anan went on to talk about the construction principle of this sewing machine, she said a lot of things, and the others were confused when they heard it, even Ning Mufei, who has always had a poisonous tongue, listened to it and didn't speak again.

Mrs. Ning said in a loud voice: "Weird, this thing is really complicated, if it can be made, then the people of our Great Song Dynasty will be blessed." ”

Shen Anan continued: "Actually, it's not difficult to really figure it out, it's nothing more than two hinges driving some silk threads, implicating them up and down, and then making the fabrics we want to make together." And the stitches of the clothes we make with this machine are definitely the same size as a touch, and the clothes we make will look good. ”

"Oh, I see, but it sounds simple, but it's hard to do." Mrs. Ning sighed.

"Madame, why should we discourage our morale, didn't you just say it, maybe when those craftsmen come, as soon as we say it, they will do it."

Shen Anan smiled, Ning Zhifu is really relaxed.
