Chapter 211: Weaving

Sun, who was standing behind, saw that Fei Ju was being ridiculed and ridiculed, so he hurriedly took a few steps back, turned around and walked back with his back basket in his arms.

Seeing this, others asked her, "Why did Sister-in-law Chen go back?" Your golden ear is not for sale? ”

"Hmm." Sun snorted and walked faster.

Her golden fungus is also moldy, and it still doesn't work to ask someone to bake it again, the color is gray and mildew, and even the fragrance is gone.

I wanted to use it to fool around, but the Han family made such a fuss, and it is estimated that it is impossible for me to sell it, in this case, I still don't want to be embarrassed and conspicuous here.

It's a pity that there are so many golden fungus, and it costs a lot of money to buy mushrooms, and they will lose more than a dozen taels of silver when they come and go.

A dozen taels is not a small amount.

Sun's heart ached so much that he couldn't do it.

Otherwise, let the husband take the time to take it to the county pharmacy to sell it, in case someone doesn't know how to collect the goods, he can also recover some losses.

Inside the Jiang family's compound.

Everyone persuaded for a while, and Jiang Laohan also interceded, and finally let Zhou Mao loosen his mouth and start receiving the goods again.

The villagers who were waiting to sell the goods hurriedly carefully selected their golden ear snow fungus, in case there were people in bad condition who annoyed Steward Zhou.

Sakura ignored the situation outside, and measured the loom with a ruler with A-Niang, and also drew the components of each part and marked the size.

She wanted to ask different carpenters to build these components according to their dimensions, and then assemble them one by one, and then sell the loom, even if one one sold for fifty taels, she only needed to sell five to pay for it.

Maybe you can sell more and make more money in the future.

This kind of loom can automatically shuttle, the weaver only needs to pull the rope with one hand and pull the board with the other, plus two feet on the pedal, you can quickly weave cloth, which is several times faster than the original manual shuttle.

As long as the operation is skillful, you can weave a three-foot-wide cotton cloth in a day.

This weaving speed is comparable to the speed of God in the local area.

With this article alone, his own more than 200 taels of silver were not spent in vain.

The next day, Sakura and Ah Niang went to the carpenter shops in several other towns with the drawings, and gave them the drawings and dimensions of one or two parts respectively, and asked them to make twenty pairs as soon as possible.

After that, he handed over several other simple parts to Wang Ke, who knew carpenter skills in the village, and asked him to make 20 sets.

As for the iron construction on the loom and the springs on the shuttle, they were handed over to the county blacksmith shop to build.

Ten days later, Chunniang and her two concubines were already proficient in operating the new loom, and the cotton cloth woven was wide and soft.

The carpenter and blacksmith also finished making the parts, and Jiang Laohan borrowed a mule cart and went to pull the things back in person.

Then it's time to assemble the loom.

Chunniang installed one for her sister-in-law's house, and one for her second sister-in-law's house.

The remaining eighteen sets were put in their own houses, and if anyone came to buy them, they would say fifty taels of silver each.

This is quite high, ten times higher than the price of local looms.

But so what, scarcity is expensive, love to buy or not.

However, Yingbao asked A-Niang not to sell it for the time being, and when Dad came back, he would come forward and sell it at one time.

Because you can ask someone to make this thing, others can make it, so it's a one-shot deal.

If one is sold, and the result is crazy imitation outside, then won't your own family become a big wrongdoer, spending money to make wedding clothes for others, and maybe you will be scolded as a black-hearted liver in the future.

So, either sell eighteen units at a time, or don't sell one.

Chunniang listens to her daughters, and if someone comes to ask, let them wait, and wait for her husband to come back.

If everyone is too expensive to buy, it is a big deal to invite a few weavers to come back and specialize in weaving cotton cloth.

There is a lot of cotton stored at home, and if it is spun into cotton thread and woven into cotton cloth, it is also a lot of income.

Not long after, the news that the Jiang family bought a new loom soon spread in the village.

Many people came to watch, and seeing Chunniang's rapid weaving with their own eyes still shocked them.

In particular, the thread shuttle, which can run around automatically, is surprising and incomprehensible.

When I asked the price, this loom cost more than 100 taels, which was staggering.

However, when everyone knew that this thing was purchased from Wu Yue, who was thousands of miles away, it seemed to be reasonable.

Many families are itching and poking outside to inquire where they can buy the same loom, but to no avail.

Soon in the month of Layue, Jiang Saburo and the others came back from their labor, and found that their house was full of white cotton cloth, and there were hundreds of horses.

There are two looms in the side room and the hall in the house, there are six in total, and each one has a weaver weaving.

There are also a few people spinning under the eaves, some of them are daughters-in-law of their own village, and some are from other villages.

"What's going on?" Jiang Saburo asked his wife.

Chunniang smiled and said: "I asked a few weavers to help us spin and weave the yarn and cloth, the cotton at home is almost finished, you see how good these cotton cloths are, go back and make a few clothes for you to wear." ”

"I'm not asking about that." Jiang Saburo pointed to the loom at home and asked, "Where did all this come from?" ”

"Hire someone to beat me."

Chunniang glared at her husband with disgust, and went to the stove room to boil water for him to wash. "Zhou Mao brought two looms to our family, and my daughter wanted to get back to the basics, so she went to ask someone to make twenty parts and bring them back to assemble them herself."

Jiang Saburo followed his wife into the stove room: "Twenty? And what about the rest? ”

He saw that there were only six units at home, could it be that the others were sold?

Chun Niang scooped water into the pot: "The rest is left, Bao'er said to sell it when you come back." ”

Jiang Saburo sat behind the stove, helped light the stove, and asked from time to time: "How much does Zhou Mao give our family?" ”

"Two hundred and thirty taels." Chunniang covered the pot and said, "So the girl wants to earn this money back." ”

Jiang Saburo nodded and added grass to the stove, "Bao'er is right, I'll go back and ask who wants, just fifty taels and one piece." ”

Chun Niang chuckled, "Your father and daughter really want to go together." You don't have to ask, I'm registered. ”

"There are ten households in our village who want to buy, three households in the west village, and even people from other villages have come to book, I have already calculated, a total of 28 families want to buy this kind of loom, and they have already given a deposit."

"Twenty-eight?" Jiang Saburo was simply stunned: "Then, how much can we earn?" ”

Chun Niang smiled mysteriously and did not speak.

The machine components are customized in several places, and if they are assembled, the cost of a loom is only about ten taels of silver.

Assuming that according to the price set by the daughter, fifty taels for one piece, then you can earn more than 1,100 taels at a time.

More than a thousand taels, a number she couldn't even think of in this life.

With so much money, even if you can't earn money in the future, your family is a proper wealthy family.

But this matter has to be decided by the husband, and the man has the consideration of the man, and he and his daughter dare not make this decision indiscriminately.

"Since there are twenty-eight households that have ordered looms, these are definitely not enough at home, what are you going to do......

Before Jiang Saburo finished speaking, Chun Niang said: "I have ordered another thirty parts with Bao'er, and we will go and get them back in a few days." ”

This time, the parts of the loom were ordered with deposits given by others, so Chunniang didn't worry about pulling things back and no one wanted them.

When he earned this money, he built a textile hall in the village and hired a few weavers to weave cotton cloth.

Anyway, the whole township began to grow cotton, and cotton will only increase in the future.

When the cotton was not sold, she spun it into cloth and sold it.
