Chapter 61: Investigation
"Mother, I'm not afraid." Although Xiao Baozi was out of breath, he patted his chest and assured.
"Okay, this is my good son." Xiao was very satisfied with Xiao Baozi's attitude, if it was put on an ordinary child, maybe the first day would feel very hard, so he would give up directly.
After the two of them finished running, they freshened up, Cai'er had already made breakfast, and after breakfast, Xiao gently said that he was going to the workshop to investigate.
Xu Qian and his wife are still in the Mu house, Xiao Qing has already prepared the medicine, and the work of decocting the medicine will be handed over to Xu Qian.
There is nothing else to do left and right, Xiao gently decided to take Cai'er with her, she also intends to cultivate Cai'er, if she wants to do business, she must have a helper, this helper, of course, is looking for a trustworthy person.
Cai'er, this girl, although she is a little guilty and a little stupid, is loyal to her.
The workshop is not very far from Mu Zhai, but it is only a few steps.
Pushing the workshops open, a smell of mildew came to their faces, and the weeds in the yard were very lush, even half a person high. I can't see that the land where the workshop was built is so fertile, think about the land planted by those farmers, even the weeds don't grow much, the people who built the workshop are really violent.
However, since this workshop already exists, it is better to reuse this dilapidated workshop if it is removed and rebuilt, labor, and wasted silver.
"Miss, it stinks so much here, let's not go in first, let's find a few people to clean it up first." Cai'er stopped Xiao lightly.
"It's okay, I'll go and have a look first, you go to the village and find a few people to clean up here." Xiao said softly.
"Okay, miss, be careful, there are more insects in this weedy place." Cai'er said that she went to the village to find someone, and the last time she cleaned up the house, it was Xu Shuzi's mother-in-law who helped Zhang Luo. This time, Cai'er still decided to ask Wanniang for help, after all, in this village, who can use it and who can't, she doesn't know.
It just so happened that Aunt Xu was a little uncomfortable today, and the late mother did not go to the ground and took care of her mother-in-law at home.
……
Xiao gently let Xiao Baozi follow her, she pushed aside the half-human-tall weeds, walked in, and looked at the structure of the workshop.
Perhaps the previous owner had the idea of wanting to do a big business and make a lot of money, and when he built this workshop, he spent a lot of money, all the equipment, everything, and the area was not small. Warehouse, workshop...... It's all there.
After turning around, Xiao Qing was still quite satisfied, which was better than she imagined. In addition to the previous owner's failed business, the cotton left in the warehouse, the failed finished products, semi-finished products, etc., are scattered everywhere, and they have become moldy.
I picked up a half-finished cloth, which was a little better, not all mildew. However, it has been oxidized, and the fabric can be torn apart without effort.
Looking at the fragments of torn fabric in his hand, Xiao gently summarized a few points, first of all, the thread woven into this cotton cloth is obviously not good, it can be seen with the naked eye, one is thick, the other is thin, and it is extremely uneven. If you want to weave cloth, you must first spin the thread, and the quality of the thread is good, which is the basis for weaving good cloth. The threads are not good, and it seems that the cloth woven by the previous master is not strong.
Secondly, the cloth should be woven finely and compactly. Finally, there is the dyeing part, people like beautiful clothes, and color is indispensable.
Because the time was too long, Xiao Qing couldn't see how the cloth in the original workshop was dyed.
Thinking of dyeing, Xiao suddenly thought that whether it was clothes or fabrics on the market, they were all monochrome, and there was no patterned cloth yet? This can be a feature in the future.
But the first thing to do is to clean up this place and plan more.
There is a late mother out of the horse, and there is a precedent for cleaning the Mu house last time, everyone knows that cleaning the yard for the people of the Mu house is not heavy, and there is a lot of money, so they are willing to work.
Here, Xiao Qingqing also hopes to clean up this place as soon as possible, and this is the time to harvest cotton, so she can start work early.
At this time, most of the cotton in the field has been taken back to their homes, and ordinary farmers will wait for all the cotton to be harvested before they will gather and sell it all. At this point in time, it's just right.
"Miss Mu, let's all clean here, the dust is heavier, you are a golden body, you are noble, let's go back and wait first." We'll make sure we'll clean up this place for you. A lady spoke.
"Yes, Miss Mu."
"Miss Mu is kind-hearted and wants to help our people here, even if there is no copper plate, we are willing to help." I heard that this Mu girl is going to repair this workshop, it seems that it is still weaving, and then their cotton will not be sold.
……
Everyone said babbling. Indeed, watching them clean up and doing nothing. Xiao gently took the little bun back to Mu Mansion, leaving Cai'er to watch here.
Back at Mu Mansion, Xiao gently found a pen and paper and wrote down his business plan.
Xiao Baozi also practiced calligraphy in the study.
"Miss Mu, are you there?" It's Xu Qian.
In the past two days, under Xiao's gentle recuperation, Xu Qian's mother-in-law's illness has gone for more than half.
"Well, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with your daughter-in-law? As the attending doctor, there is no other intersection with Xu Qian, Xu Qian came to find him, Xiao Qing's first reaction was that Xu Qian's mother-in-law was uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's okay-" Xu Qian hurriedly said, and then realized that something was wrong, he came to find Miss Mu, there was indeed something, and said again: "That's the case, my mother-in-law is almost fine, I think, I won't bother you in Mu Mansion, let's go home to raise, and my child is at home, I don't worry." ”
"Yes." Xiao replied lightly and cheerfully, and then carefully advised. "But after you go back, you should pay attention to taking medicine on time, and you must open more windows for ventilation, and you must not be like before."
"Got it, Miss Mu." This Mu girl is really good, not only did she not accept him a copper plate, but she also cared so much about his mother-in-law's condition. "The girl's great kindness, I am unforgettable, I don't know what I can do for the girl."
Xiao Qingqing originally wanted to say no, but suddenly thought that he wanted to buy cotton, and he didn't have manpower at the moment, so he said: "If you really want to repay me, help me do something." "Although the warehouse over there has not been cleaned up yet, there are many empty rooms in the Mu Mansion, which can be used as warehouses.
"Girl, please say, as long as I can do it, I will go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up." Xu Qian said.
"It's not necessary to go to the soup and fire, let me ask you one thing first, who are the cotton in your village sold to, and what price do they give you?" Xiao asked softly.
"The cotton we grow is not valuable, and only two catties of cotton can be sold for a copper plate." Xu Qian wondered why Miss Mu asked about cotton, isn't she a doctor? It seems that cotton and medicinal herbs are not on the same side.
