Chapter 418 The sound of the loom"Xiao Fang, you will be responsible for taking care of the workshop and warehouse from now on."
"We need to patrol three times at night, mainly for waterproofing and fire prevention!"
"There is a canal next to the workshop. Once the water runs out, it is convenient to put out the fire!"
second day, Xue The lady took Fang Dou and walked around the workshop to introduce him to the scene of the workshop.
Fang Dou watched as he walked, his eyes swept across the loom, and he instantly understood the general principles and usage of bits and pieces.
"Our family includes board and lodging, what about wages?"
Fang Dou hurriedly said, "It's not bad for board and lodging, not to mention wages. When the owner has a business, we will Let's discuss the salary again!"
Xue Niangzi looked at Fang Dou, this child is very sensible!
In the next few days, Mrs. Xue and her daughter observed Fang Dou one after another and found that he was diligent and not lazy, and began to think that others were not bad.
Fang Dou is at ease here, Mrs. Xue and her daughter continue to think of ways to see if they can invite some workers from other places to finish the raw silk stock.
However, if you hire someone from other places, you have to ask an acquaintance to guarantee you, and you have to pay a sum of money in advance.
The workshop has not been opened for a long time. Madam Xue's family is very shy, and she is planning to sell the jewelry, but she is stopped by her daughter and insists on using the dowry.
The mother and daughter are at a standstill and have been arguing these days.
As for Fang Dou, he cleans the loom every day, maintains parts, and checks the warehouse regularly to check the condition of raw silk.
Silk is expensive and needs to be kept carefully. Once it becomes mildewed, it will become a worthless waste product.
"Mother, Xiao Fang is a real person. I wipe the loom every day and leave no dust!"
In her spare time, her daughter also talked about Fang to Mrs. Xue. Dou's case.
Xue Niangzi also nodded, "Yeah, such a down-to-earth child is rare!"
They didn't know that Fang Dou wiped the loom to familiarize himself with the interior structure.
A Mohist institution, Fang Dou is an entry level anyway. It may be difficult to manufacture large-scale war instruments, but it is not too difficult to be familiar with the loom and propose a plan for transformation and optimization.
The past few days, Fang Du was in front of one's eyes, mother and daughter, and studied generously, and finally decided to do it.
Mrs. Xue, mother and daughter, happened to be away from home when they went out to raise money that day.
Fang Dou faced dozens of looms, rolled up his sleeves, and officially started.
ding ding dong dong
A moment later, dozens of looms were transformed beyond recognition.
Fang Dou turned around and walked to the warehouse, brought in the raw silk, smoothed it on the loom, pulled up the thread, stepped on the pedal, breathes deeply.
"Start!"
Bang bang bang bang!
On the edge of the silent canal, the sound of the loom running again sounded, and the sound of dozens of looms could not be concealed, and spread far along the river.
The various workshops along the river are closed these days, and the owners are suffering too much. Suddenly they hear that the loom is working, and the scale is not small. They all go out to find out who is working.
"Who is working?"
"In that direction, it seems to be Madam Xue's house!"
"The master of Madam Xue's house, didn't he run away? How can they still start working?"
"How can they have dozens of looms working at the same time as orphans and widows?" Come visit.
In an instant, a crowd of people gathered on the street, and just after walking a few steps, they met Mrs. Xue and her daughter who were returning home.
"Xue Dong's house, which master did you invite to your workshop, and why did the work start today?"
A familiar owner immediately asked back.
Ms. Xue was puzzled at first, then turned pale, took a few steps back, and was supported by her daughter.
"Quick, go back to the workshop!"
My daughter is anxious, which is a disaster.
The only one left behind in the workshop is Xiaofang. It must be this kid, overlooked, and messing with the loom. If the raw silk is wasted and the loom is damaged, it will be broken.
Other owners, seeing that the mother and daughter looked wrong, came to the workshop with the two of them.
As soon as her daughter opened the door, she was about to scold her with round eyes. Behind her, Mrs. Xue trembled, "Don't scold people, be careful to scare Xiao Fang!"
At this moment, The sound of the loom stopped abruptly.
My daughter was blocking the door, standing still, not going in or out, as if she was frightened.
"What's going on?"
The other owners have guessed the inside story, and they must be the family guards, playing with the loom. Now Madam Xue's family is having fun.
The greatest wealth of the weaving workshops is the loom, together with the raw silk raw materials hoarded.
Apprentices have to follow the master, at least three years before they can touch the loom, and if they want to touch raw silk, they need to practice for two years, which shows that experience in this industry is important.
However, a layman who acts recklessly will not only waste raw silk, but also damage the loom.
There are not many looms in Mrs. Xue's house. If they are damaged, repair or purchase will cost a lot of money, which is simply worse.
"Could it be that the looms are broken, and Madam Xue's daughter is frightened?"
One owner guessed secretly, shaking his head in pity, "Poor, Madam Xue will marry her now. It won't work!"
I can't say, in order to save the workshop, the little lady's dowry has to be included.
"Hey, condolences!"
Someone persuaded, reminding the little lady of the Xue Family, don't get angry.
At this time, the little lady said in a trembling voice, "Mother, come and see!"
Madam Xue thought, everything happened, whether she opened her eyes or closed her eyes. Can't change reality!
She simply stepped forward quickly, walked to her daughter's side, and looked towards the interior of the workshop.
"This..."
Madam Xue was also stunned. The mother and daughter reacted in the same way.
"What's the matter?"
The more other owners see something strange, the more itchy their hearts.
"Everyone come and see!"
Mr. Xue and her daughter walked into the workshop, and a group of owners filed in.
In front of everyone, colorful colors emerge from the surface of a pile of silk.
Fang Dou is standing in front of the loom and is concentrating on finishing the silk. This step is the most technical, and it is definitely not something that can be solved with a single stroke of the big scissors ka-cha.
“hu hu!”
After a while, the silk fluttered to the ground.
"This kind of silk is called Top Grade!"
A group of owners are all veterans in this industry. Out, the silk in front of you is Peerless Grade comparable to Shu Brocade.
"It's a pity!"
A gray-haired old owner, holding silk that was as soft as a cloud of yarn, shook his head repeatedly, "Miss Xue, your raw silk is just a piece of silk. Middle grade, if you choose high-grade raw silk, the quality of the silk will be even higher!"
Madam Xue looked at the silk and was already fascinated.
The appearance of silk, in addition to raw silk, is also closely related to the craftsmanship of the weavers.
Xue Niangzi's workshop has limited financial resources and cannot afford high-grade raw silk or a master. It has always been engaged in the low-end silk business.
However, her eyesight is not bad, and she can see that the silk woven by Fang Dou is of high grade.
As my peers said, if it is replaced with high-grade raw silk, I am afraid this silk will be of the top level.
"Xiao Fang, is this really you weaving?"
Madam Xue looked towards Fang Dou, and the eyes of other owners also became hot, all focusing on Fang Dou. .
