Chapter 46 Be the main thing to make money
"Your family is a weaver?"
Han Dutong is not sure, it obviously sounds like a textile sound, but it seems to be a little different!
Only then did Zhou Qi think of the spinning wheel and loom in the house......
Qing Leng had already stepped forward to open the door, and Zhou Qi explained to him first.
"It's not a weaver, but Xiaomin has transformed a spinning wheel, and now the mother and the inside-in-law should be weaving."
Han Dutong nodded, he didn't understand this thing as a big man, he just felt that Zhou Qi could think of this crossbow, and it shouldn't be too much of a problem to change the spinning wheel to play.
Walking into the courtyard, Han Dutong was not frightened by the fluttering chickens and ducks, and walked through the small courtyard without half disgust.
Zhou Qi also naturally led him to the hall.
But......
Now a small hall is full of people!
"New daughter-in-law, your cotton cloth is too fast! How did Zhou Guizi come up with it! ”
"Six feet of cloth have been woven in this hour, and at the end of this day, how much cotton cloth will be produced!
"Not only that, but my Langjun has also improved the spinning wheel, and now it only takes an hour to spin cotton thread with eight spindles!"
Su Ling's slightly proud voice came from the innermost, and immediately a group of village women exclaimed again!
"Oh my God! Then it won't take long for this spinning thread to weave, and this can be enough for me to do a few days of work! ”
"If you make 30 feet of cloth a day, it's three or five big men's shirts! This can't be exchanged for old money in the city!? ”
There was just a bunch of villagers blocking at the entrance of the village, but there are still a bunch of aunts here, and Zhou Qi didn't expect it this time!
At this time, I was a little embarrassed, so I coughed twice.
A few people immediately turned around, and when they saw Zhou Qi, they directly surrounded him, and squeezed the Han capital away without any care......
"Zhou Guizi, can you help me play two?"
"And I still have me, if there is a loom like this at home, where will I dig up any wild vegetables!"
Zhou Qi's heart was in his throat, and he poked his head to look at Han Dutong, but fortunately, Qing Leng had already beckoned him to sit down, and there was no discomfort on his face.
At this time, Qing Leng was making him tea, and he looked at the loom with interest.
At this time, the weaving is a loom, one hand holds a wooden knife to tighten the weft, and the other hand has to throw the weft, which is not only troublesome, but also slow to death!
However, Zhou Qi's shuttle loom saves time and effort, and the efficiency is directly ten times higher than that of the original loom!
Even if you are a person who doesn't know how to weave at all, you can understand what it means if you do a little math!
At this time, Zhao Cuihua had already seen the people coming, and hurriedly drove the village women away.
Su Ling walked to Zhou Qi's side, called Lang Jun, and bowed generously to Han Dutong.
Then the three women tacitly entered the small stove room together, and here the guests came, and the dinner had to be decent!
Han Dutong pointed to a loom and said with a smile: "You seem to be a little interesting!"
As soon as Zhou Qi heard this, countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant!
None of them should have taken a fancy to such a peasant woman's fiddling, right?
Wouldn't you ask him for a drawing!?
If he asks for a drawing, will he give it or not!?
Zhou Qi beat the drum in his heart, but he still replied with a smile on his face: "It's just a gadget for my mother and my mother-in-law, it's not worth mentioning." ”
"I heard just now, I can make three or five men's shirts in one day, where is it a gadget!?"
Han Dutong took a sip of tea, and then continued: "If there are ten or dozens of these things, I'm afraid this village will rise from the ground!" ”
Zhou Qi suddenly chuckled in his heart, he originally thought so, but when this Han Dutong said it, he panicked......
However, seeing that he couldn't get around, Zhou Qi still replied with a smile: "Don't hide it, the women in the village don't have any ability to make a living, I plan to build two or three units, and let the women take turns to come to the house to do some odd jobs." ”
Zhou Qi didn't tell the truth, but if he said so, as long as this Han Dutong had a bottom line, he wouldn't ask him for drawings again.
However, Han Dutong was a civil official earlier, and those open and secret battles had already been clear, and he smiled after hearing the meaning of Zhou Qi's words.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in this loom."
I'm not interested, then dare to be kind!
Zhou Qi didn't hold back any longer, and chatted casually with Han Dutong about making the crossbow.
"You're saying the crossbow can be upgraded!?"
Zhou Qi nodded affirmatively, and said without humility or arrogance: "This crossbow is just a preliminary model, it was originally intended to be used to deal with mountain bandits, so I simply designed it, if it is used on the battlefield, I am afraid that the power will be almost meaningless!" ”
Han Dutong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhou Qi with even more appreciation, but at the same time, he was a little puzzled.
This home is a small mud house, and seeing that his mother is also an ordinary peasant woman in the village, how can he understand this weapon?
So he asked, "Sir, has your father ever been in the army?" ”
Zhou Qi didn't know what he was thinking, so according to the impression in his memory, he replied truthfully: "No." ”
Han Dutong couldn't understand it at all, he originally thought that the people in Zhou Qi's family should have people who had retired from the battlefield, and he wanted to greet him by saying hello, but he didn't expect that a room full of women!
"Sir, talented!"
Han Dutong sighed, and then said: "In that case, can you ask Mr. to go up the mountain together as an overseer?" ”
Zhou Qi was a little embarrassed, if he entered the mountain, how would he do business?
His pig will come tomorrow, and he hasn't arranged anything yet!
However, Han Dutong seemed to suddenly think of something, waved his hand and said: "It's me who is anxious, Mr. should focus on making money, this machine crossbow Mr. can take time to check every day!" ”
Zhou Qi's heart let go again, and hurriedly thanked: "Then thank you and understand!" ”
Soon, Su Ling came out of the small stove room, brought a plate of braised pork in his hand, and put the white-cut chicken on the table.
The most terrifying thing is that Zhou Qi didn't come back this day, and Su Ling had already made fried chicken legs...
After that, they served stewed duck, fish soup, and some vegetarian dishes and snacks.
The whole table, almost every cooking method, was beautifully plated by three women.
Han Dutong, who has always been relatively calm, was completely dumbfounded when he saw the dishes on the table!
He didn't understand the weaving machine, but he knew what he had to import every day, and now he had already picked up a piece of braised pork, and after tasting it carefully, his eyes instantly lit up!
The conditions in the army are harsh, there is nothing to eat, even if he is all gnawing some cold and hard dry food, it is a common thing, only after winning the battle and capturing the enemy's grain and grass, can you eat some good wine and meat!
Originally, he wasn't a greedy person, but he couldn't stand the fact that this braised pork was really delicious!
"How is this done?" Han Dutong looked at Su Ling and asked.
Su Ling smiled lightly and told him the process.
Han Dutong nodded again and again, after tasting each dish, he was still unsatisfied, maybe he noticed Zhou Qi's somewhat funny eyes, and his face returned to his previous demeanor!
"Gaffe!"
Zhou Qi waved his hand and didn't say anything.
"This dish, I'm afraid it's not comparable to the famous drunken immortal residence in the capital!"
Han Dutong said sincerely, and then looked at Su Ling, and his eyes were also quite appreciative.
"Mr. is a talented person, and proficient in weapons to understand the people's livelihood, Mr. insider, can both weave and draw, and such a good craft, Mr.'s future is limitless!"
Zhou Qi was about to speak, but suddenly shouted in a mess at the door!
"The bandits are coming! The bandits are coming!! ”
