Chapter 44 If you marry a wife who can't be a woman
"Second brother-in-law, you buy it back first, I will naturally be useful. And the sooner the better, the more the merrier! Zhu Gaoxian said, "Again, you arrange people, don't you raise a lot of chickens, ducks and geese at home, don't throw away the fine hairs that are pulled off after slaughtering, collect them, I can also use them." ”
Li Rang already knew that this fourth uncle was a person with an unusual brain, and many of the things he came up with, even if he saw it with his own eyes, made people unbelievable and felt incredible.
I simply didn't ask.
Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, "Then everyone is busy, each performing its own duties, each fulfilling its responsibilities, if there is anything that can't be decided, you can ask me." ”
Very high-level demeanor!
Zhu Gaochi was in a complicated mood, his eyes were also complicated, he came out of the council hall with the help of the two chamberlains, and he only felt depressed.
But thinking that his position as the son of this world was personally sealed by the emperor's grandfather, for a while, he was relieved, Zhu Gaoxian wanted to pry his position, not to mention whether he had the ability to do so, and the second and third children were still blocked in front of him.
Zhu Gaoxian didn't think much about it, he decided to make the sewing machine first.
In "The Book of Rites: Duyi", women have four virtues: virtue, speech, appearance, and merit. Among them, the gong refers to the female red.
In ancient times, the reason why women's female popularity was very important was mainly because the clothes inside and outside the four seasons were sewn by women with a needle and a thread.
Let's put it this way, let's say that if you marry a wife who is not popular, the conditions are a little worse, not only may you not even have to wear underwear, but even your children will have to be wrapped in a cloth.
In ancient times, there were people who sold ready-to-wear clothes, but few sold obscene pants, and generally went to ready-to-wear shops to buy obscene pants, mostly some people who lived undignified lives and had no wives.
If you have a wife, you have to buy underwear to wear all year round, and the man's little face is lost.
Sewing by hand, it's too slow.
There are embroiderers in the palace, and the embroiderers are not all embroidery, but also mainly responsible for making clothes. Even if Xu is the princess, some of Zhu Di's underwear is Xu himself.
Zhu Gaochi has a family, and the Xu family doesn't have to worry about it, but the clothes of the three bachelor sons also need Xu's Zhang Luo, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui's obscene pants and underwear are all the girls in his house, and Zhu Gaoxian's is sent over by Xu's family.
That's a lot of work.
Zhu Gaoxian had the idea of making a sewing machine for his mother very early, and the parts had been arranged for the carpentry and blacksmith in the palace to be built and sent to him, and he only needed to install it.
In later generations, rubber was mostly used for belts, but at present, rubber is still in South America, Vietnam, Hainan and other places. And the rubber is cut from the tree, and there is a complicated process to make it into raw rubber.
Raw rubber does not have the high-quality properties of rubber, raw rubber needs to add a lot of small materials according to the formula, after a smelting, a honey refining, and then vulcanization to get the desired rubber products.
This is not a simple process.
At present, Zhu Gaoxian can only use cooked cowhide as a material to make belts.
Soon, a sewing machine was assembled by him, which was a relatively primitive pedal sewing machine, in which a person sat in front of the sewing machine, stepped on the pedal, and drove the needle to run up and down to sew.
Xu brought people from the sewing room to watch, Zhu Gaoxian stacked two pieces of cloth under the tip of the needle, passed the thread through the eye of the needle, and began to step on the sewing machine, he pulled the fabric with one hand, and sent the fabric with the other hand, and in the blink of an eye, two pieces of fabric as long as one meter were sewn together.
Xu Shi was pleasantly surprised, this is really many times faster than hand-sewing, she picked up two pieces of fabric sewn together, and pulled it, it was very strong, no worse than the average female red.
"Mother, the fineness of this stitch can be adjusted by this button, if you want to be finer, just move a grid to this side, and every time you move a grid, it will be a little finer."
Zhu Gaoxian has a sharp eye, and it is not a matter for him to achieve such a level of precision in the sewing machine.
At the moment, there is no talk of industrial development, so many of his ideas cannot be realized.
But, that's surprising enough.
Zhu Gaoxian got down from the stool and helped his mother to sit in front of the sewing machine, "Mother, in the future, some work that does not need to be embroidered will be done with this sewing machine, and in the future, one day, see if my son has the ability to help his mother invent an embroidery machine." ”
It is estimated that it will not be a matter of thirty or fifty years, and industry and digital must develop to a certain extent in order to realize this dream, and Zhu Gaoxian does not expect him to be able to do it in his lifetime.
The Xu family was full of interest, and the embroidery girls and maids on the side were also excited, and they gathered around to see how the Xu family operated.
Xu followed the way his son said, and pulled the paddle down a little. Zhu Gaoxu stood behind her mother, teaching her how to pull the fabric and how to send the cloth hand in hand, "Mother, you must be very slow at first, otherwise it is easy to hurt your fingers, and if you are not careful, your fingers are placed under the needle, and it is easy to be pierced." ”
"Don't worry, my mother is not a three-year-old child, you let me try."
Xu Shi is a good female celebrity, and she usually spun and weave cloth, and when she started operating this machine, she was a little rusty at first, but she soon got started.
"Take a cut piece of fabric, how long do I think it will take to make a garment?"
Soon, an embroidery girl took an adult robe to come, Xu pinched the edge, while stepping on the pedal to sew, a meal of effort, a piece of clothing sewn, the stitches are fine, straight as if measured with a ruler, although it is not compared with the exquisite embroidery, but it is definitely more beautiful than the average embroiderer.
This is also because Xu is not skilled enough.
"Mother, this is a sewing single garment, if it is a sewing cotton garment, you can change a needle, change this thicker and longer one. You use this sewing machine first, and if there is any problem, my son will improve it according to the situation. ”
Xu was so excited that tears were about to fall, she purely felt that her son was filial, so she made this sewing machine for her, and when the embroidery girls said that they could sew a piece of clothing with a meal in the future, she realized what her son's invention meant?
"This, that's really...... If you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you don't have to ask if other people's daughters are good, just step on the sewing machine! Xu quipped.
In a word, the people below burst out laughing.
Guo Zi heard that Zhu Gaoxian had made a sewing machine out, so he hurriedly ran over with Jin Zhong and Daoyan monks to see, but Xu led people to avoid it, leaving only an embroidery girl to step on them.
Guo Zi saw that a jacket could be sewn out in a moment's effort, and the speed was so fast that it was simply dazzling, and he couldn't help but be shocked, "This is too fast, right?" ”
"Amitabha!" Dao Yan exclaimed with a Buddha name, what kind of apprentice did he accept, it was not enough to describe him with amazing talent, whether it was weapons or people's livelihood, he could improve from the favorable side, it was really amazing.
