Section 61.The beginning of an era

[Aunt Susan & Uncle Hollin:

Mr. Fast, please make a trip for me.

I'm good with Martin, Martin got a steady job, still a tavern guy, close to me. The tavern owner is an acquaintance of Mr. Fast, so you don't have to worry. The tavern has a weekly salary of one silver coin, and there will be a salary increase in the future, and I know that you and Uncle Hollin have always been implicitly in love with Martin, and I think Martin will save this money to bring back to you.

I lived in the attic next door to the tavern, and downstairs was a spinning mill, and the creaking of the spinning wheel during the day reminded me of you, though you had never spun, and Uncle Hollin was doing the mending.

Breeze City inspires me to improve the spinning wheel, and if I succeed, I will spin several times faster than I do now. I'm going to call it Susan Spinning Machine to thank you for helping me. By the time you received this letter, its name should already be known to many people.

Here's what Martin wants to say to you:

That girl named Lenna is so good-looking, can you make her my wife if she gives her all the money like Uncle Hollin and then works as a cow and a horse? Annan, what are you writing about? A message for the family? Who is Aunt Susan?

Those are the words that Martin left for you.

Don't worry about us, in a little while, I'll go back with Martin to see you after the matter is settled on the Breezy side. 】

Put the letter paper in an envelope, coat it with fire paint, and give it to Soruman Copperbeard. She will give it to Mr. Fast the next time she delivers wine to Hirabayashi.

As for why it's called Susan Spinning Machine and not Hollin Spinning Machine...... The masses were more receptive to women weaving and men farming.

It's like people prefer to believe that a bandit is called "Beheader" rather than a name like Olivier Sacred Gappal.

Andrew Luna carved out a vacant lot in the warehouse for Annan and the goblins to make Susan's spinning machine. The spinning wheel was ready-made: Annan borrowed 5 gold coins from Andrew Luna, bought the second-hand spinning wheel from downstairs for 3 gold coins to modify it for the goblins, and used 2 gold coins to buy spindles and tools.

This is the price of necessity.

However, Annan found that everyone he knew seemed to have been borrowed by himself......

In the afternoon, Dorai crouched in front of the spinning wheel, which was much taller than it, and was loading the yarn wheels.

The manpower of this world is generally greater than that of the earth, so the first Susan spinning machine, Annan, increased to ten spindles, that is, ten times the efficiency.

Whether it is to erect the spindle or to make the spinning wheel more complicated, it is not difficult, the carpenter can complete it, and Dorai feels that this is too easy, so he thinks that this is an opportunity for Annan to give the goblin and is even more grateful.

Annan is not like other humans. There is no prejudice, no arrogance, and no mercy.

As a clever goblin, Dorai decided to finish the spinning wheel with his own hands and do it better......

"That...... Can you help? I can't move it. ”

The biggest problem that prevents the goblins from completing the spinning wheel independently is that the force is too small.

Earnestly, Dorai lost the cowardice of the goblins, and Annan crouched beside him, occasionally handing over tools, and watched Susan's spinning machine gradually take shape.

After assembling the spinning wheel with spindles and grinding wheels, Annan tried it for a while, but it was a little difficult to turn the spinning wheels, and he applied some pine oil lubrication. With a little effort, he made ten spindles rotate at the same time, and Annan completed his second work in this world.

"I'm going to call them over!"

Annan ran to the tavern next door and found the three guys gathered at the wine table in the hall.

"Don't you have anything serious to do?" Annan doesn't seem to have seen them do anything.

"My estate is here." Andrew Luna pointed to his feet.

"There is no commission for me." A slightly drunk Michael said lazily.

Annan looked at Soruman Copperbeard, who needed to run from tavern to tavern.

"Humans don't like me, so I tell my men to do it." The female dwarf said.

Annan had no choice but to reluctantly announce: "Susan's spinning machine is ready." ”

Bringing them and Martin to the warehouse, Annan personally demonstrated the operation, and then the three who felt the novelty tried it one after another.

When the ten spindles rotate together, the slender yarn sticks out from the other end, and the special aesthetic rhythm and rhythm make them look at the spinning wheel in amazement.

When the gears called the machine turned, everyone didn't realize what the scene in front of them meant.

"Why hasn't anyone thought of such a simple thing?" Surprised by the surprise, Michael skipped the proud goblin and asked Annan, "So what are you going to do next?" ”

"Pricing?"

A brand new spinning wheel costs about 5 gold nar, the best spinning wheel at the moment costs 8 gold coins, and a Susan spinning machine with ten spindles seems to sell for 40 gold coins.

But the accounts can't be counted like that. There will be people who spend 5 gold coins for a spinning wheel or a second-hand spinning wheel, but no one will spend 80 gold on a spinning wheel. Even if this spinning wheel has 10 spindles.

Moreover, the quality of the cotton yarn spun by the spinning wheel of 10 spindles is not as good as that of the best spinning wheel.

"I think it should be 10 silver." Martin said as he reached out to the spinning wheel, which was blocked by Soruman Copperbeard.

You can trust the dwarves forever.

"Why don't you ask the owner of the spinning mill downstairs?"

"I'll call him." Andrew Luna said.

The landlord soon brought in the owner of the spinning mill, the dust-covered machine that was about to be completed.

Annan asked him, "If there is a spinning machine ten times the speed of the spinning machine downstairs, how many gold are you willing to spend on it?" ”

"Uh...... I don't buy any of them. ”

"Why?"

The spinning mill owner honestly said, "Because I already have ten spinning machines." ”

"But it can be controlled by one person."

"But it only saves money for hiring spinners. Belch...... IMHO, this cotton yarn is enough for me to sell. ”

The owner of the spinning mill euphemistically said that many factories and families still use worse spinning wheels or even hand-spinning yarn, and people who have dozens of gold coins to buy a spinning wheel do not need to buy a spinning wheel -

If you want to market Susan's spinning machine, you should choose those big spinning mills. Obviously, working with the Wine Lady is inevitable.

"Just say the right price." Andrew Luna waved his hand.

"I think...... 30 gold is a decent price. ”

Getting the result, Andrew Luna left with the spinning mill owner. He frequently stared back at the silhouette under the gray cloth, still curious about what a spinning wheel with 10 times the efficiency looked like, it didn't look as big as ten spinning wheels.

Andrew Luna came back, stared at the spinning wheel that lifted the gray cloth, and suddenly exclaimed, "Your machine will make a lot of people lose their jobs." ”

Annan couldn't answer, because the same thing happened to the historical Jenny spinning machine.

"I don't blame you." Andrew Luna whispered an old proverb: "A convoy of goods brings in a trader who loses his job......"

"How long will it take to finish it?" The female dwarf asked?

"Next before sunrise!" Finally, it was his turn to speak, and Dorai puffed out his chest.

"Now there's one last question."

Annan looked at his partners around him.

"Where am I going to buy roses?"
