Otherworldly Chapter 38 The City Lord's Mansion Distinguished Guest
More than a month passed, and because the development of the mold was delayed for half a month, the first batch of 1,000 Genghu knives took more than the original month. Su You estimated that the next 2,000 pieces could be completed in one month at most, so that the 3,000 pieces would actually only take two months. In the future, it will only take one month to complete 3,000 pieces. However, more than half of the month was spent on mold opening, which led to the delay in the delivery of 1,000 pieces in the first month.
Ji Changfeng told Su You that the customer sent someone to urge the goods, and now the person is in the commercial building. The landlord, the young master, and the young lady were receiving distinguished guests, and he had come to inform Su You to attend the reception dinner in the evening. Bai Shan was appreciated by Mrs. Madame because of the flower building machine, and also won a place for the dinner.
Instrument workshop. Su You spent the whole day discussing the innovative designs in each person's hands with the instrument makers, including the innovation of tools, as well as the innovation of other things, such as the improvement of horse-drawn carriages, as well as the transformation of irrigation water wheels and farm tools. These craftsmen are extraordinary, and everyone is in full swing to discuss, and Su You casually commented, and he was able to point out the advantages and disadvantages of each design, and everyone couldn't help but be moved and admired Director Su even more.
These days, Bai Shan and Miss Sun, Miss Ji, the weavers, and all the skilled weavers and embroiderers get together to weave flower books. The new flower building machine has been coming out for a few days, and after the initial test, everyone's confidence in the large and exquisite patterns woven by the flower building machine has increased a lot. They preliminarily compiled a more common lotus flower book, and the flower puller and weaver in charge rehearsed the operation steps and processes of this flower floor machine several times to ensure that they have been memorized, and the machine will be started in the afternoon to try weaving.
The jacquard loom is in place. The flower maker upstairs and the weaver downstairs were also seated, Ji Zhaorong was making a final check to make sure that everything was correct, and he was about to instruct the start of work, and he did see Young Master Sun and Miss Sun walking in with a beautiful woman with skin as white as snow and picturesque eyebrows. The three of them talked in a low voice as they walked, and Sun Xiuyun said, "Sister Qi! This is the weaving workshop of our commercial building, and we are trying to weave a new flower picture at the moment, and Sister Qi came just in time to give us some guidance. ”
If Su You saw it, he would recognize that she was Yao Weiqi who she had seen in the clothing store. The three of them entered the workshop where the Hualou machine was located, and at this time, more than a dozen weaver girls in their twenties and forties gathered around the loom, and these weaver girls were all experienced weavers who had dealt with weaving all their lives.
This of course does not include the White Mountains. At this time, Bai Shan stood proudly in front of the flower building machine, smiling and complacent.
Ji Zhaorong saw the three of them, greeted them and said, "I've seen the county lord!" Yao Weiqi obviously knew Ji Zhaorong as well, and said with a smile: "Listening to Sister Xiuyun, now Sister Zhaorong is also a great craftsman, and now she can be in charge of such a cumbersome loom, and my sister is also very impressed, and my sister also wants to learn from you so that you can find a job to do." Her voice was sweet and pleasant.
Ji Zhaorong also called his sister and said, "Sister Yao smiled." Zhaorong didn't dare to take credit, it was all the result of the joint efforts of all weavers under the leadership of Miss. ”
Sun Tianze appropriately said a few words of encouragement to everyone, and his demeanor was calm, revealing a mature and steady posture. provoked Lord Yao to look at him from time to time.
Yao Weiqi's beautiful eyes swept to a young man standing among the women, showing a surprised look, and she felt that this young man's appearance was somewhat familiar. She felt strange, but said quietly: "I didn't disturb you!" You go on, don't worry about us, just watch from the side with Brother Sun. ”
Miss Sun stepped forward and said, "It's time to start!" She was not worried that the county lord Yao could see through the key to the flower building machine, and she wanted to deter the county lord Yao by weaving the flower map on the spot, and if she made a splash, it was possible to win the order of the city lord's mansion.
The flower puller upstairs and the weaver girl downstairs moved at the same time. The two cooperated to lift the flowers, shuttle and beat the weft, and when a piece of cloth decorated with lotus flowers was presented in front of everyone, the audience cheered. Sun Xiuyun and Ji Zhaorong looked excited, and the two stepped forward to stroke the lotus pattern on the cloth, and their excitement was overflowing. It worked!
When Bai Shan saw Sun Xiuyun's excited expression, he was happy for her in his heart, and he was even more proud.
As a woman, Yao Weiqi naturally knew what this meant, and was deeply shocked, she knew that from now on, there would be a place for all blades in the weaving industry. She congratulated them from the bottom of her heart. Young Master Sun could no longer maintain his steady, with a smile on his face, and fiercely praised the weavers, including Bai Shan.
Yao Weiqi listened to Sun Tianze's praise of Baishan, and secretly wondered: Could it be that he also participated in the design of this new loom? He glanced at Bai Shan curiously, puzzled and puzzled by the familiarity of his face.
Sun Xiuyun calmed down her excitement before continuing to lead Yao Weiqi to visit with her brother. Came to the instrument workshop next door, said: "This is the instrument workshop of our commercial building, here there are different appliance ideas every day, after the design will test its feasibility, the standard products will be handed over to the instrument workshop to build, sales promotion, this is also the secret of our longevity." ”
Qian Cheng was already waiting on the side, and he came up to greet the three of them, and he was about to run to inform Director Su, but Sun Tianze stopped him and said, "Qian Gong doesn't need to disturb their work, let's watch it at will." ”
Under the guidance of Qian Cheng, the three of them first looked at the instrument making room downstairs, introduced the design that was being trial-produced, and then led them upstairs. Entering the largest studio, I saw Su You and a group of craftsmen sitting around a long table. Su You used several square tables to form a long conference table, and this became a conference room.
Su You sat on the chair seat facing the door of the room, and the others sat on the left and right sides of the long table, filling the conference room with dozens of people. Su You was holding a maroon metal lacquerware in his hand, and when he saw Qian Cheng pushing the door in with the three of them, he stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Su You has seen Miss Young Master." The other craftsmen all stood and saluted respectfully.
When Su You saw Yao Weiqi, the look of surprise on his face flashed. It turned out to be her! Yao Weiqi also saw Su You, and she was also surprised. I remember that he said before that he was a guy from the Ten Thousand Blades Commercial Building, and it was. At that time, she told him that he would have a chance to see each other again, and she really didn't expect to meet again so soon. She quickly returned to normal, with just the right amount of curiosity.
Young Master Sun didn't notice anything, and said, "Director Su doesn't need to pay attention to us, please continue your meeting." We just accompanied the city lord's mansion Yao County Lord to visit the instrument workshop, and by the way, we took a look. He introduced to Yao Weiqi: "Su Younai is the director of the Ten Thousand Blades Ware Workshop, responsible for the construction of the branch building and all the instrument workshops under his jurisdiction. He didn't introduce Yao Weiqi to Su You, thinking that it was not necessary.
Yao Weiqi did say unexpectedly: "Director Su is in charge of the instrument workshop at such a young age, and he wants to be a capable person. Let's sit aside and listen to Director Su's opinion! ”
When Su You heard Young Master Sun introduce Yao Weiqi as the county lord of the City Lord's Mansion, he knew that she was the daughter of the City Lord of the Golden City. No wonder she was accompanied by the young master and the young lady, and she was the guest of honor at today's dinner. Even though Yao Weiqi didn't know him, he was just right to show surprise, and then saluted respectfully.
He sat down and continued to pick up the previous lacquerware, and said, "The paint of the left master is very worthy of promotion. As we all know, paint is suitable for wood, after applying lacquer, it will make the surface of the wood smooth, and the colored paint can also add color to the wood and make the wood more beautiful. But the most important thing is to protect the wood from damage, from abrasion, stains, corrosion, and insect damage, and to keep it looking good for years to come. However, ordinary paint cannot be waterproof, sunproof, anti-corrosion, and cannot be used to prevent rust on the surface of ironware. The addition of iron red to the paint studied by the leftist can form a protective layer on the surface of the iron product, which can play a long-term role in rust prevention. This is a remarkable discovery, why do you say that? ”
Su You was eloquent, easily mastered the rhythm of the meeting, and talked eloquently. When he was a student, he often participated in debate competitions, various academic speeches, and did not have stage fright in front of thousands of audiences. Now there are only dozens of artists and three audiences, so naturally there is no pressure. And in his eyes, people are equal, and there are no many scruples of young masters and young ladies.
Su You is a top science student, of course he knows the chemical molecules of iron oxide, so when he looked at this paint, he guessed that it was involved in iron oxide. He continued: "I don't know if the leftist intentionally or unintentionally mixed the iron red into the paint, but it was a remarkable attempt. Iron red is the rust of iron ore, which becomes maroon red after grinding, has strong adhesion and good water resistance, and can form a strong protective film on the metal surface, which can make ironware, especially iron used outdoors, difficult to rust. Like the copper lion outside our house, because copper does not rust, the copper made of copper is durable. However, copper refining is difficult and the cost of materials is high, so the price is expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it. But with this anti-rust paint, the iron lion can be stainless for a long time, and the cost is less than one-third of the copper lion. This is good news for outdoor iron objects such as iron fences, iron sculptures, horse-drawn carriages, and chariots. With anti-rust paint, copper can be abandoned and iron, which will save huge costs. It's a great discovery. In fact, nature has physical properties, as long as you concentrate your mind and observe carefully, you can discover more interesting things for the benefit of mankind. ”
Then he picked up different utensils and commented on them one by one, whether it was a weapon or a clever object, he would say everything about it, and he would say the pros and cons, and it was reasonable, and everyone was convinced.
Not only Yao Weiqi, but Sun Tianze and Sun Xiuyun also listened with a sparkle in their eyes, and sighed that the person in front of them was really a genius, which was of great use. The most rare thing is that he is not timid in the face of the three of them, and he is quick to fly. For all kinds of utensils, this is not just a good memory, but really has supreme talent.
The three of them went downstairs, but Yao Weiqi still did not withdraw from the shock just now. Sun Mansion Commercial Building suddenly made her feel extremely mysterious, today is just a casual visit, that is, to see the kind of flower building machine that can weave exquisite flowers, and a random young man can lead a pottery workshop, and talented, incisive, unique thinking. When did the Sun Clan's Ten Thousand Blades become so strong!
Although the Golden City Lord is a relative of the emperor, he also has a circle of power and a person of support, so he naturally has to win the support of some forces for the loyal prince. The Sun clan is a big clan that several princes can fight for at all costs, and the lord of Yao City often visits the Sun clan in various names, and holds banquets from time to time to enhance the relationship with Sun Chongyuan, in order to pull the Sun family into his camp.
Therefore, Yao Weiqi will of course pay attention to the movements of Wan Blade. Today's harvest is so big that it is enough to make my father pay more attention to the Sun family and increase the conditions for wooing them. Sun Tianze and Sun Xiuyun have been secretly observing Yao Weiqi's expression, and they know that today's impromptu visit has an incredible effect, and the two of them are suddenly in a good mood.
Then, Yao Weiqi became more intimate with Sun Tianze's brothers and sisters, and her tone was softer and softer, and Sun Tianze was even more open-minded. Yao Weiqi is the daughter of the city lord, with a noble status, extremely beautiful, and knowledgeable, and deserves to be both talented and beautiful. Sun Tianze was very fond of her, and he felt that Lord Yao also had a good impression of him, but he had not yet reached the point of admiration and appreciation, and he was overjoyed when he felt her soft attitude. His affection for Su You and Bai Shan has increased dramatically at the moment, and he treats them as confidants.
With their excellent performance, Su You and Bai Shan further gained the recognition of the Sun family and gained a firm foothold in the commercial building.
