Chapter 93 The first batch of products rolled off the production line
"It turns out that Brother Zhengwen still has so many powers? I have heard Chunrou's sisters say that his medical skills are enough to gain a foothold in the world, why do you work so hard? Fame, fortune and power? ”
"Rejuvenate the country through commerce! This is the greatest help he can do to the country as a capable man! Men's ambition is explained in many ways, and we women also have a lot of things that we women don't understand, but I can be sure that it has nothing to do with fame, fortune and power, and you are guided by some unknown idea, and the husband you find will not be a mediocre person! That's why I'm so calm about him in terms of the relationship between men and women, because I know that a peerless man doesn't belong to just one woman! Qingqi's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Cry must abide by the teachings of the two sisters, and I am willing to be the woman behind the main brother, and because of my own peculiarity, it is very easy to cause many big people to covet it, and it is really troublesome for everyone to show up. Maybe by the time I'm eighteen years old, Brother Zhengwen has enough strength to appear in public again! ”
Several people talked happily, and it was not until Chunrou came to report that it was time for dinner, and a few people walked to Lao Liu's place.
Although it is too shabby, it is the place with the most complete ingredients, and Granny Xia and the others are all dressed as subordinates, and it is indeed too conspicuous to eat in the restaurant of the other courtyard.
Lao Liu Tou saw Li Zhi making hookahs for him, and he couldn't help but go to the back kitchen door to enjoy it, and there were Chunrou and Ping'er around him to watch strangely.
Fang Yi and Fang Yun are the personal maids next to the county lord of Yuran, and they are also familiar with Chunrou and the others, and they each hold Granny Xia and Aunt Yu Ling to come out to find out.
For some reason, under the watchful eye of Granny Xia, she also begged for a hookah to take a puff, but she didn't avoid it like Qingqi and others, just smelling the smell and avoiding it half a foot away, and actually looked like two wisps of smoke came out of her nostrils, but she was still smoked and coughed.
"It does have an uplifting effect, isn't it my wife, please also ask Mr. Li to build one?"
Aunt Yu Ling smiled: "Forget it, it's strange if the master doesn't scold you to death when he sees it!" It's not good to learn something, to swallow clouds and spit fog like this, like some kind of person who specializes in pleasure! ”
Old Liu Tou was not happy, babbling to express his dissatisfaction.
"I know that you are curing the disease, and you are talking about the senior sister, the second senior brother should not wronged the little sister!" Aunt Yu Ling snatched the object from Granny Xia's hand and returned it, which made Old Liu Tou quiet.
I don't know when, Li Zhi came over, "This is already very simple, I have seen a lot of hookahs with carvings, carvings, stones, carvings, what eight horses, nine lions, Lin Tu jade book, Gonghou Wandai, immediately seal the marquis, etc., each has its own meaning, and wrapped in gold and inlaid jade or gilded throughout, extremely luxurious, those pipes, cigarettes, tweezers, chains, etc. are made of pure gold. ”
All the maids were speechless, Lao Liu Tou gestured indifferently, and Granny Xia explained, "He said that this is already very satisfying, a bag of tobacco just makes him feel uncomfortable in his body, and he only smokes one bag when he needs to, otherwise the addiction to smoking is too big, and the master will blame him when he sees it in the future!" ”
Li Zhi nodded, "It's not a long way for you to rely on this method to alleviate the disease, I'll prescribe another medicinal soup, let Master Liu bring it every day, and supervise you to decoction and take it, there is no need to completely quit this kind of thing, it's not impossible to use it as a concoction, I also smoke it occasionally." I am not afraid of smoking addiction, and I will have more harmless things developed in the future, which is enough to satisfy addiction! ”
Qingqi shouted from afar: "Don't listen to him, this guy is covering up for his own smoking, and having a companion is good to teach him to be upright!" ”
The maids were covering their mouths and snickering, but Li Zhi saw Mo Jun running from afar, he and Mi Qin came here, and they plunged into the loom room and disappeared, and it is said that lunch was also eaten with the workers.
Different from Li Zhi, these two people currently have no other means to earn extra money, and they are all pinned on the future velvet clothing, and their respective families have given clear instructions to be involved.
If they can bring great benefits to the family in such matters, their respective positions will definitely be greatly improved.
Therefore, when it comes to the opening of another factory, it is necessary for them to thoroughly understand everything in every detail.
"Brother Junliang refused to come, but he sent me to report. The first batch of production line products has completed the last process, there are hundreds of pieces, and he asked me to invite Mr. Li to go to the loom room to inspect it. After all, it is the first batch of products off the production line, and you, the master, are here to be there! Mo Jun said hurriedly.
With the current mechanical level, it is natural to be unable to meet the assembly line operation mode of later generations, but each process is strictly divided into a unified progress by Li Zhi, and there are many sub-processes in each process.
Hand-spun yarn is different from modern machine spinning, due to the good wool quality of pure wool, high down content, hand-spinning thread is easy to check the thickness and toughness of the wool, etc., can adjust the speed and force in time, although the wool weaving speed is extremely slow, but also makes the hand-spun yarn strong, durable, tough, tensile force, and beautiful.
As a result, the hand-spinning process was carried out in another loom room, employing more weavers, who had already started a few days earlier.
Today, it is still the first time that the pedal spinning wheel has produced a finished product after deployment, but the extremely backward textile technology can only ensure that a batch of hundreds of pieces of color and size are similar, and it is necessary to deploy another loom to have different products.
And unlike the pedal spinning wheel used to spin two yarns at the same time, this kind of textile machine is transformed from a single-strand machine, and every time before the next jacquard, the position of the thread needs to be re-fixed, and invisibly, countless tedious processes are interrupted, so that a sweater knitting takes at least two hours.
But fortunately, with Li Zhi's arrangement, hundreds of pieces will be completed together, which is countless times faster than manual weaving. Moreover, through the cooperation of the host and auxiliary machines, simple patterns such as straight needles and ingots needles can be woven, and the ribbed edges are neat and beautiful, making the fabric more elastic.
The jerky nature of the workmanship was a problem at the present time, and this step-by-step and gradual process also made it easier for the workers to become more aware of the ingenuity involved, and once they had become proficient in this new form of weaving of coarse velvet threads, he would allow them to form small groups of their own.
Because of the different flexibility of each person's subordinates, the prototype of the intensive assembly line, and the machine cannot ensure the mechanical automatic, it must meet the high uniformity of the weaving speed of the participants.
In the future, the salary will be settled according to the number of finished products, and the work in hand is dexterous, so it will naturally earn more, and some clumsy people will naturally drag the host. The progress of the auxiliary machine coordination.
It must be said that the ancient traditional craftsmen had a very high invention and creation IQ, and these coarse sweater knitting machines were huge behind compared to later generations, but they found them by themselves by virtue of hand-knitting needles.
Li Zhi also asked the lord of Qingqi to reward the main participants heavily, once the output of the factory went up, he would gather these people to develop the next generation of loom technology, as well as more design colors, after all, he was a big man, and then from the later generations, there was no relevant professional knowledge, and he knew very little about the colors.
At the moment, the meal will be served immediately, but what Mo Jun said is also true, the first batch of ready-to-wear off the assembly line is of great significance, and he and Qingqi really want to come to the scene to witness it.
So he led a group of people with strong curiosity to quickly come to the weaving room, and Li Zhi was still excited in the face of a single-color sweater that was so simple that it couldn't be simpler than in later generations.
Aunt Yu Ling was the first to step up, grabbed a sweater and gestured on her body, her mouth was still slurking: "I see that the thickness of the sweater is insufficient, but just starting is a warmth, and it is natural to replace the bloated cotton clothes!" Although the style is a bit strange, the women's slim figure is the first priority, and it is already a success to get them to take off their bulky cotton clothes! ”
Li Zhi smiled dumbly, in the eyes of some older people in today's era, such a trendy sweater has actually become a strange thing.
Qingqi laughed directly, "I said Aunt Yu Ling, what do you mean by a weird style?" As long as it is fashionable, even if a sack piece is cut into a chic look, as long as there are more people wearing it, it will become a trend, not to mention the appearance of sweaters, which can reflect the ultra-thin and warm effect of the body! ”
did not participate in the fight, but Li Zhi leaned down, tirelessly rummaging through the pieces over and over again, no one rushed up to help at the scene, after all, this kind of clothing is still a rarity for them, and no one knows what kind of ingenuity exists in it.
Even those workers did not dare to take a breath at this time, and they were all secretly anxious waiting for the inspection of the master's house.
For more than half an hour, Li Zhi picked out four or five of the sweaters with broken threads, and looked at Qingqi: "These few pieces have broken threads, so give them to Lu Xiu'e, and each worker will be rewarded with one hundred copper coins, which is a great joy for us to open the chapter!" ”
The workers at the scene were jubilant, and one hundred copper coins were enough to buy sixteen or seven catties of rice, which was the cost of half a month's food for the family.
And Lu Xiu'e is a group of people who participated in the transformation of looms, sweaters and ready-to-wear garments are on the market, and each piece is priced at more than one or two silver, and these workers are difficult to buy even if they don't eat or drink for a year.
This kind of sweater thread is not as irreparable as the fabric, and a little pattern can be perfectly concealed, even if it is re-sold, there is no problem.
Qingqi looked at Lu Xiu'e, who was a little flustered, and explained with a smile: "One hundred copper coins have your share, but in the end, the neckline and cuffs must be sealed and closed, and an inspection procedure must be added, which is directly responsible for your five loom captains, and you can't let the defective products flow to the market!" ”
Lu Xiu'e and the others hurriedly thanked each other, Qingqi summed up a few words loudly to everyone, and Li Zhi made the final statement: "Tonight we will start work overnight, the salary will be doubled, and the kitchen will provide overtime meals, as long as 10,000 finished products are guaranteed to be off the assembly line, all workers will be paid." Moreover, after the first batch of overtime workers tonight will go back tomorrow, they will also introduce more ingenious people among your acquaintances, once hired, the introducer will get ten copper coins, of course, according to the head, but it must be a local who can solve the problem of food and accommodation by himself! Recruitment of new workers is limited to five days, and after the deadline, it will not be recruited again! ”
Most of the workers are women, and only women in the loom industry are recognized by the society as regular wage earners, and men cannot do this kind of meticulous work.
According to Li's previous life, workers are blue-collar workers, and they have jumped out of the bottom of the poor class with one foot, especially women with lower appearance conditions, and it is almost their only way out.
Before leaving, Master Liu, who was temporarily assigned as the warehouse manager, was responsible for putting away all the ready-to-wear clothes, and Li Zhi explained something to him in a low voice, which led everyone back to Lao Liutou.
At dinner, he said: "Everyone present wears one piece for themselves, but it will have to wait until tomorrow, after all, there is only one size now, and the size needs to be worked out in batches." ”
Aunt Yu Ling was the most satisfied, "When I came out just now, I turned back one step at a time, and I thought in my heart that Mr. Li didn't say any benefits. Hee-hee, it's good that Mr. Li didn't forget about us! ”
Qingqi chuckled, "Those of you who are around you not only have, but will also promise that you will never spend money to buy it, as long as you look at it, go to Master Liu!" ”
Of course, Granny Xia and they will not be short of money, but the sweater is not how much it is worth, but how rare it is, right?
"This thing is very well invented, like those of us who have reached out, the simpler the clothes on the body, the better, although it usually doesn't need too thick cotton clothes!" Old Wu Tou sighed.
"The next step is the woolen pants, Aunt Yu Ling, if you are interested, go and ask for cashmere thread, let Qingqi teach you to knit by hand, and weave one for yourself in advance!" Li Zhi reminded.
Seeing that Aunt Yu Ling was suddenly interested, Granny Xia glanced at her, "It's better to wait for the product to be officially launched, I haven't earned a penny yet, but I can't be so extravagant, management from the details is the first priority, and Master Liu is also embarrassed!" ”
Aunt Yu Ling instantly understood, "What Senior Sister said is that it's not too late to wait for the market to react, and those of us around us will solve your problems, and it's not to add to the chaos!" ”
Pure wool is expensive in which dynasty, before the emergence of synthetic wool, in terms of the current backward breeding industry, cashmere clothing at this time is indeed a luxury, of course, can not be as casual as Li Zhi said.
