Li Laohan invited nearly 200 people from several surrounding villages to work, and Craftsman Liu made overall arrangements.

The speed at which the workshop was built was very fast, and the consumption of various building materials was also very fast, and the silver that came with it was also going out.

The ground by the creek was too low, and there were not many flat places, so they put all the vats for processing wool on the flat land not far from the creek.

Now that the weather is warm, just build a shed to prevent the rain from falling into the vat.

Now Li Changshou has handed over the matter of the honeycomb coal workshop to his fifth cousin, and he has come over to be responsible for handling the wool.

Although the wool has been processed once in the hands of the herdsmen, at least there is no sheep dung, big mud, and big grass in it.

However, it must be carefully washed to wash off the sediment inside, and then put it in a large vat and soak it in lime water.

After standardizing the process, the wool produced is fluffy and delicate, as white as clouds in the sky.

There are also some varieties and quality that are average in color.

However, there are dyes that can dye these wools into beautiful colors.

These light and delicate jobs can be done by the women of the village.

Sister-in-law Li is busy at home, so she doesn't have time to come over to work.

Li's second sister-in-law took the initiative to ask Ying to come over to help.

"Second sister-in-law, you are eloquent, and your popularity in the village is also good. Handle the wool, dye it, and follow the steps I prescribed. ”

"You don't have to do everything yourself, but you have to help me take care of these people. After all, we pay people to do the work, not to invite people to talk and chat. ”

When Li's second sister-in-law heard this, she smiled heartily, "Of course, the usual friendship is friendship, and it is okay to talk and chat, but you must not delay the work in hand." ”

"The ones I picked for you are all good workers in the village, clean and clean. You leave these things to me, and promise to do a good job for you. ”

Second sister-in-law Li is not talking big, she can do a good job.

Besides, the sister-in-law is the top of her father-in-law's heart, if she just takes the sister-in-law's salary and doesn't work, her father-in-law won't be able to spare her, and her man will also make her face.

Li's second sister-in-law is clear in her heart, her sister-in-law is making money, and he, the person who helps her sister-in-law, must have a very high salary.

For example, the eldest brother, who used to look at the shop in the county seat, was five taels of silver a month.

Li Xiaoyue understands this second sister-in-law, although she regards money as important, she is really serious and responsible.

"Second sister-in-law, now that it's just beginning, I'll give you two taels of silver for a month. When these wool threads are sold, I will give you a salary increase, as well as various bonuses and benefits. ”

When Second Sister-in-law Li heard this, her heart was as comfortable as eating chilled watermelon on dog days, "Xiaoyue, then I won't be polite to you." Don't worry, I will definitely do the work for you, and let you take the initiative to give me processing money. ”

"It's great that this can meet my requirements and guarantee to pay for processing." Li Xiaoyue was very happy to hear this, she was never afraid that the people who worked would ask for processing money, but she was afraid that the people who worked would be perfunctory and not work seriously.

With the help of Li's second sister-in-law, Li Xiaoyue was much easier.

Although Li's second sister-in-law is illiterate, she has a good memory, what she has to do every morning, how much the female workers do in the evening, all of which are summarized and told Li Xiaoyue.

After Li Xiaoyue was inspected, the situation was true, and there was no deviation, and she recognized the work of Li's second sister-in-law even more.

"Second sister-in-law, now the number is small and there are few things, can you remember it. Later, when the scale expanded, there were more and more things in the workshop, and there were more and more people, and it was not enough to rely on memorization. ”

Li's second sister-in-law now enjoys the feeling of managing other people's work, which is much more comfortable than working in the field and doing housework at home.

"Little sister, it's inconvenient to be illiterate. Now I don't have to struggle, like you said, when it expands, my brain will not be enough. ”

"But I'm a grandmother, can I still read?"

Thinking of the little grandson at home, writing in the sand table with a wooden stick, Li's second sister-in-law felt that she was also learning, as if she was quite faceless.

Li Xiaoyue could see Li's second sister-in-law's thoughts at a glance, "It is said that it is never too late to learn literacy when you live, as long as you think it is useful to you." ”

"It's not to take the top exam, we are literate, just to live better and work better. And you don't need to know all the words, just learn and memorize the common ones. ”

When the shrewd second sister-in-law Li heard this, her eyes lit up, "Xiaoyue, then I'll tell you the commonly used words, can you write them down and write them down for me?" ”

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Of course you can!" It just so happens that I'm not busy now, second sister-in-law, you said, I'll write down these words for you, and when you're free, you can look at Nian Nian, write and draw. ”

"Good!" Li Er's sister-in-law began to read and write under Li Xiaoyue's encouragement, and she thought that she would learn very slowly, but after putting it into use, she recognized it quickly in combination with reality.

Brushes have limitations and are not easy to carry.

Li Xiaoyue made a charcoal pen, which is hard, can be written anytime and anywhere, and does not use ink, which is convenient and reduces the difficulty for Li's second sister-in-law.

Ewha Village began to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, and it changed a lot from day to day.

This is followed by an increase in investment.

A third of the silver earned from the honeycomb coal was invested in the construction of the workshop, part of the silver was used to hire people to work, and the rest of the silver was used to buy wool.

Seeing the house that rose from the ground and could be put on the beam within ten days, Li Xiaoyue didn't feel sorry for the silver.

The northwest is dry, and the house is dry for two days, and it can be put into use.

During this time, Carpenter Sun hired many carpenters to help him make the parts of the loom machine, and then put them together, and he had made twelve spinning machines, just enough to fit two rooms.

Next, Li Xiaoyue began to select young women in the village who were quick with their hands and feet, including young daughters-in-law and thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, and taught them to spin.

The beautiful color, fine and uniform wool thread is quickly wound on the shaft through the loom.

At first, everyone's speed was very slow, the force was uneven, and the spun wool thread was fine and thick, and sometimes the thread would break.

However, after practice and proficiency, such situations become fewer or even disappear.

Thin wool threads, three spinned into one strand, some spun into four strands, some spun into six strands, into different thicknesses of wool.

Second sister-in-law Li touched these woolen threads, her face puzzled, "Xiaoyue, a few strands are spun together, it's too thick, and the cloth woven from such a thick thread is not allowed to be the same as a sack?" ”

Li Xiaoyue held a roll of wool in her hand and couldn't put it down.

Hearing the second sister-in-law's question at this time, Li Xiaoyue raised her head and chuckled, "This is not for weaving, but for making sweaters." Second sister-in-law, wait a minute, I'll do it for you. ”

After speaking, Li Xiaoyue took out the sweater needle that had already been made by Carpenter Sun's apprentice and skillfully knitted the sweater.

In her previous life, Li Xiaoyue suffered all the hardships of the world because of her identity as an orphan.

But now it seems that the hardships in her previous life and the work she did can actually become the skills she has to survive here.

No wonder there is a saying, how can Seon be blessed if he loses his horse?

People, no matter what the circumstances, never give up on yourself, live to the sun, and work hard to live, and the results will not be bad.
