Chapter 1051: Three turns and one ring
Merton suddenly changed his tone and said: "The noodle pressing machine can be said to be a blessing for women, but it is not necessarily for men, with this machine, making noodles in the future has changed from technical work to hard work, and the task of pressing noodles may have to be undertaken by men, I hope you don't blame me!" ”
The audience in the stands couldn't help but smile bitterly, according to the design of the noodle machine, the noodles can be pressed by simply shaking the handlebar, and what Mo Jiazi said is really possible.
"Gentlemen are far away from cooking, a group of vulgar people!" A scholar couldn't help but say disdainfully when he heard Merton talk about men making noodles.
"This little student, you must not be married! When you get married, you will understand that a husband will not make his wife too tired. A swarthy craftsman looked at the scholar and smiled. In the past, they didn't know anything about cooking, so they couldn't help, but now with this machine, if they can keep their wives from tired, I believe every man will do the same.
"In addition, Mo can provide you with a business, for example, in Chang'an City, the population is dense, and even many women also work, there is not much time to make noodles, if someone buys a machine, the vegetable market rents a stall, specializing in pressing noodles and selling noodles, the rich and noble Mo dare not guarantee that it is definitely not a problem to support his family." Merton said loudly.
Suddenly, many people nodded secretly, the noodle press machine is not low compared to the price, and it is not worth it for a family with a small population to buy a noodle press, if there are really noodles made in the market, when buying vegetables, buy a little noodles by the way, it is not extremely convenient.
I can't guarantee anything else, but this noodle business is absolutely feasible in Chang'an City, and it is just around the corner to spread throughout Datang in the future.
"This is bound to be another hit." In the audience, Zheng Bo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Mo Jiazi once proudly said that he would solve the internal troubles in Mojia Village within a few months, and it was obvious that the highlight was this ink technology exhibition.
Sure enough, the Mo family did not disappoint them, as soon as they made a move, it was a must-have for every household, and with the vision of Uncle Zheng's old shopkeeper, it could naturally be seen that as soon as this noodle pressing machine came out, it would definitely sell well in Datang.
The strength of the Mo family has increased again. And this time, the family did not have goods to compete with, and could only watch the Mo family continue to grow.
"How could I not have thought of such a simple machine?" More craftsmen sighed, the structure of the noodle press machine is simple, it is clear at a glance, if they can have this patent, they will definitely eat and drink for the rest of their lives.
Xiao Dengkui was even more indignant and said: "I hate that I was not born in the north!" ”
Xiao Dengkui reacted to the broad prospects of the noodle pressing machine, and couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart, if he was born in the north, maybe he was the one who invented this machine, then how much money could he earn for the family!
Li Yun on the side glanced at him in surprise, shook his head and said, "It's easier said than done, let alone inventing and creating." ”
Li Yun just persuaded on the side, and Zu Mingjun directly replied: "Since the Deng Ling clan is in Jiangnan, why not build a cooking machine for Jiangnan." ”
Xiao Dengkui's face suddenly turned red, and his face turned scornful.
"Mo Jiazi has a new ink technique." Suddenly, an exclamation came, which relieved Xiao Dengkui.
Everyone looked up at the Ink Art Exhibition Center, only to see Mo Dun say loudly: "I disappointed you, this time Mo is not recommending a new ink technique, but an ink technique from three years ago!" ”
"Ink skills from three years ago!" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, three years ago was not the last ink art exhibition hosted by Mo Jiazi.
"Couldn't it be!" Gong Yuhao's heart moved, and he blurted out.
"Young Master, I have already guessed it!" The public lost wheel hurriedly asked.
Gong Yihao nodded and said: "At the ink art exhibition three years ago, Mo Jiazi created a unicycle and a tricycle comparable to a wooden ox and a flowing horse, and at the same time launched an immature ink technique. ”
"Bike!" The public loser suddenly remembered.
"Not bad!" Gong Zhihao nodded solemnly, in the past three years, although the bicycles in Mojia Village have not been mass-produced, they still flow out a lot every year, especially Qin Huaiyu and the three of them riding bicycles in Chang'an City, which is very sassy, but the bicycle has another disadvantage, that is, it is too bulky and not fast.
The children of the powerful even played their bicycles out of tricks, riding bicycles from the top of the gentle slope to the foot of the mountain using gravity, but it caused a lot of popularity, and it was not until someone broke a few ribs and was sent to the Mo Hospital that the heat of the activity slowly subsided.
When Merton appeared in front of everyone pushing a brand-new bicycle, the crowd couldn't help but be in an uproar.
Mo Jiazi put the bicycle in the ink art exhibition for the second time, which shows how much Mo Jiazi attaches importance to this ink technology.
"Not bad! After three years of research by the children of the Mo family, the bicycle technology was finally perfected and mass production was realized. Merton patted the familiar 28 bars beside him and said proudly.
"The bulky wheels have been replaced by state-of-the-art steel spokes, which are as thin as strings, but they are indeed made of the same material as the cables of the Weishui Bridge, which are the result of the most advanced third-generation steel of the Mo family." Merton pushed the 28 bars in his hand and walked, the spokes of the wheels turning as if hollow.
"This bicycle weighs nearly fifty pounds, and the load can reach four hundred pounds, which is enough to carry two adults, and an adult riding a bicycle carrying fifty pounds of goods, half an hour can reach thirty miles, and only consumes a bowl of dry rice for a hundred miles," Merton introduced the performance of the bicycle, and suddenly remembered the jokes about bicycles in later generations, and couldn't help but joke: "This condition, what kind of horse do you need!" ”
Although Merton said it was a joke, everyone present nodded, you must know that a horse is expensive, it is also extremely expensive, and it needs to be fed concentrate, and a horse eats more than two adults, which is an extremely heavy burden for ordinary people.
The bicycle introduced by Mo Jiazi is very similar to that of horses, but it does not need to be fed.
"Here, Mo wants to say sorry to his counterparts in the West Market, as soon as the bicycle comes out, the price of horses will drop sharply, if you lose money, you can come to the Mo family, Mo will give you priority to the discount of the agent bicycle." As soon as Merton's words came out, the merchants in the West Market, who were originally sad, were overjoyed, the business of horses was not good, the price was expensive, and the sales were not to mention, and the daily feeding was a huge consumption, and the bicycle business in Mojia Village had broad prospects, and there was no need to feed at all, which was much more promising than selling horses.
And the public in the audience was even brighter, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "The bicycle is a dead thing, but it is not as spiritual as a horse, and the price is expensive, the most important thing is to pay attention to anti-theft, the child has been inspired, and he can definitely make a lock suitable for the bicycle in the shortest time." ”
In an instant, everyone couldn't help but look sideways at Gong Yi Hao, no one thought that in such a short period of time, Gong Yu Hao would design a new set of locks based on Mo Jiazi's bicycle.
Deng Ling's line couldn't help but be silent, he was originally pretentious, but he didn't have the slightest ink skill in his body, and Gong Yihao personally realized the new ink skill in front of them, which greatly stimulated them.
"Didn't the Deng Ling clan hate not being born in the north? Bicycles have been around for three years, and you haven't seen the slightest bit of progress, not to mention that you haven't studied bicycles in private. Zu Mingjun snorted coldly.
Suddenly, Xiao Dengkui's cheeks burned red, and the other children of the Deng Ling clan also looked embarrassed, indeed as the three veins of the Mo family, they had already studied the bicycle in private, and no one had gained anything, even their master Yang Siqi thought that the bicycle made by the Mo family was the limit, and it could not be improved at all.
However, who knew that the steel used to build the Weishui Bridge would be used to make bicycles, which was like killing chickens with knives.
No, this bicycle is comparable to a horse, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an iron horse, which is of great use to the country and the people.
"The Mo family just took the lead." Xiao Dengkui said hard in his heart.
In his opinion, the reason why Mojiazi succeeded in cycling was because he took advantage of Mojiacun's advanced materials, and without the accumulation of Mojiacun's steel, the bicycle would not have been able to succeed.
"The inspiration for ink skills is food, clothing, housing and transportation, the noodle press is food, the bicycle is travel, and the most important thing is clothing." Merton said loudly.
Everyone suddenly understood that Merton's next ink skill must be related to clothes, and in an instant, everyone thought of the new clothing that has appeared in Chang'an City in recent years, cotton.
Since a few years ago, cotton was promoted by Mojia Village, cotton is widely planted in Datang, especially in Songjiang Mansion, and Songjiang Mansion is the center of weaving cotton, a large number of high-quality and inexpensive fabrics flow out from here every year, the price is cheaper than silk, and warmer than linen, and immediately became the most popular fabric for the people of Datang.
"This is a spinning machine! This is a loom! ”
As Mo Jiazi introduced the role of these machines one by one, ordinary people listened to it without taste, but most of the craftsmen present listened to it with relish.
After the Mojiazi left Jiangnan, the Deng Ling's lineage took over the status of Mojia Village in Jiangnan, but the children of the Deng Ling's lineage were assembled to transform the spinning machine and loom for Songjiang Mansion, and the effect was much better than that of Mojia Village.
However, Merton's words changed and said regretfully: "Of course, none of these little apprentices will be able to do so, let alone female workers, and they have never sewed their own clothes, and Aunt Xu has prepared clothes for them every time." ”
Under the stands, Wu Meiniang's face was ashamed, and she fell into the arms of Aunt Xu beside her, Aunt Xu touched Wu Meiniang's hair with a loving face, but she watched Wu Meiniang grow from a weak little girl to a heroic and sassy senior sister of the Mo family, and she had already loved her as a daughter.
"This last ink skill is also tailor-made for apprentices, so that a person who doesn't understand female celebrities can easily sew clothes."
With a wave of Merton's hand, the curtain rose, revealing a long square table three feet long and one foot wide.
"A table can actually sew clothes, Mo Jiazi is talking in a dream." Everyone frowned, puzzled by a tawny table in the center.
Merton laughed, stretched out his hand, and saw that there was a mechanism on the tabletop, and after removing the wooden board, a black steel machine rose from the hole in the table, which was perfectly inlaid on the tabletop, which was the most common sewing machine in the eighties and nineties in later generations.
"Trick up!" Everyone in the Deng Ling clan snorted coldly, when it comes to the technique of small organs, the Deng Ling clan is an expert, and in their eyes, this little organ of Merton is not the slightest bit unusual.
"How long, how long, an hour, or a morning do you think it takes to sew an adult's garment?" Merton looked around.
Everyone frowned and thought, it is common for wives to sew clothes at home, everyone is not uncommon, often a woman with good craftsmanship, sewing an ordinary dress may be an hour, if you require precise workmanship, delicate stitching, sewing a piece of clothing not to mention a morning, even a day may not be completed.
"As we all know, Aunt Xu is the leading female celebrity in Chang'an City, Rao is so, it takes two hours for her to sew a dress herself, I don't know how long it will take to use this sewing machine." Merton smiled and invited Aunt Xu to the stage.
I saw Aunt Xu come to the stage, pick up the fabric that had already been cut, sit in front of the sewing machine, put her feet on the pedal under her feet, and exert a slight force, and suddenly a crisp and rhythmic sound resounded throughout the venue.
"Da Da Da!"
Regular, crisp sound, this is simply the most beautiful sound in the ears of all the craftsmen.
"If Aunt Xu does it for half an hour, do we have to sit here for half an hour?" The corners of Xiao Dengkui's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart.
Xiao Dengkui also knew that the reason why Mo Jiazi made a sewing machine was that the speed of sewing clothes must be very fast, and he had already overestimated it in half an hour.
However, before he could say a few words, he saw that the crisp mechanical sound had stopped, and he saw Aunt Xu get up, subtract the extra thread with scissors, reach out and shake it, and put it on his body, a brand new dress has been sewn.
"So fast!" The crowd exclaimed, but they watched as they saw a few pieces of cut fabric being sewn into new clothes.
"Less than half an hour!" Deng Long said with a shocked face, his family is poor, and his mother lives by sewing and mending for others, he naturally knows the speed of sewing clothes, and Aunt Xu actually sewed a piece of clothing in less than half an hour, which is unimaginable.
Merton nodded and said: "The clothes that can come from Aunt Xu's hands are all precision workmanship, and they are the female celebrities that Aunt Xu has practiced for decades, and with this sewing machine, even the clothes sewn by a woman who has just learned to be female red are comparable to the top tailors in handwork, and the speed of sewing clothes is ten times that of the top tailors." ”
Everyone gasped, shocked to look at a small machine in the center of the field, everyone in the world needs to sew clothes, once the sewing machine appears on the market, it will certainly cause a revolutionary change in the garment industry, and manual sewing will inevitably withdraw from history.
"Presumably it's the circle that keeps turning back and forth on the foot pedal that is the key." Gong Yuhong took a deep breath and said.
Merton said proudly: "Noodle press, bicycle, sewing machine, not only Mo to the apprentice, but also a gift to women all over the world, now that the year is approaching, prepare these three pieces of Mo family machinery when you get married, and then greet the festive horn, three turns and one sound, the life of the husband and wife will be prosperous." ”
Merton believes that the 'three turns and one ring' in the Tang Dynasty will definitely become a must-have for marriage in the future.
