Chapter 143: sewing machine
"Not only did we miss out on such a good business." Second Miss Chu said, "We are also very likely to offend His Royal Highness Li Wang."
Chu Dadang immediately stood up and said in shock, "What? Offended His Royal Highness King Li?"
Miss Chu Er said: "Yes, Nangong Anshan's sugar workshop is in cooperation with His Royal Highness Li. If we don't do business with Nangong Anshan, isn't it just that we don't do business with His Highness Li?"
The head of Chu immediately broke out in cold sweat. After thinking for a moment, he said loudly: "You two, find a time to send a big gift to His Highness Li Wang, and it will be regarded as an apology to His Highness Li Wang."
The two nodded: "Yes."
Master Chu frowned and looked at the eldest daughter: "You have lost your monthly money for half a year. I always thought you were the eldest daughter and more mature, so I entrusted you with the business. I didn't expect you to take over the business not long ago. You just made such a big mess, I think you should read the account books at home first, and leave the affairs of each shop to your second sister."
Miss Chu was overjoyed immediately, "Thank you father, I will do well."
Miss Chu nodded lowly: "Yes, father, I will definitely reflect on it and never make such a mistake again."
"Okay." Master Chu nodded: "Go down and do as I say."
"Yes, Father."
After the two left the study, they went to the warehouse to choose a few gifts and send them to Li Wangfu.
It’s just that King Li didn’t see them when he heard about their intentions. He only sent someone out to say that he didn’t mind what happened back then, and let them go.
Li Wang really doesn't mind, after all, if the lucky grocery store doesn't accept white sugar and brown sugar, his son's shop wouldn't have a chance to sell it.
It’s just that Miss Chu and Miss Chu don’t think so.
Backing back to the Chu Mansion, Second Miss Chu snorted, "Elder Sister, look, His Royal Highness Li Wang is not willing to forgive us, let me see how you explain to your father."
Miss Chu said with a sullen face: "It's all caused by Dai Yingying. Don't worry, I will settle the score with her!"
"Didn't she be imprisoned by you? Don't try to bribe people in the government. Then we will be charged with bribery in the Chu family. As you know, what His Royal Highness Li Wang hates most is others bribing officials." , if he finds out, Chu Mansion will be finished."
"I know." Miss Chu said impatiently, "I'll do it after she comes out."
At night, Nangong Anshan entered the space, and she suddenly thought that she could improve the weaving method here.
As far as she knows, Qinglong Kingdom's weaving method is still very backward, similar to the pedal looms in the history books she read in her previous life. The weaving speed is very slow, and even patterned cloth cannot be woven.
Although she can't make the modern looms of her previous life for the time being, she can make the most advanced hand-looms.
In her previous life, she had heard of the shuttle, and she even looked for the video of the shuttle. With the shuttle, the efficiency of weaving would definitely be greatly improved.
There is also cotton planted in her field, and a lot of it is planted in the space. After she builds the loom, she can just try it.
She has never built a loom, so she exchanged a book called "The Most Advanced Manual Loom in Ancient Times" in the space system to read.
Of course, before weaving cloth, there must be threads first, and the spinning machine must be built, so she exchanged for a book called "The Most Advanced Spinning Machine in Ancient Times".
From this day on, she began to go to the city frequently, or go up the mountain to quietly put some wood in the space, and began to study her loom and spinning machine.
Of course, she didn't give up looking for herbs for A Niang and Third Brother. Every other day, she would go to the mountains to look for herbs, but unfortunately, she didn't find what she needed every time.
She also finds an excuse to go to the city once every four or five days, and brings back a lot of raw materials needed by the workshop.
In order not to waste time, she took all three carriages out of the house, and then dismissed the others, put the ingredients in the carriage and let them drive back.
Her loom is more complicated, unlike ordinary looms, only one person can complete it.
Her loom is large, and if it needs to weave a pattern, it takes two people to complete it.
There are also a lot of parts, and there are nearly 2,000 parts in total, and the assembly is also very complicated.
Because the loom was too big, she couldn't finish it in the space, so she couldn't find an excuse to take it out, so she could only tinker in the yard.
On this day, people in her family saw a lot of wood piled up in the yard, and Yang Ruolan asked curiously, "Ashan, have you come up with something new?"
Nangong Anshan smiled and said, "Well, I plan to make a loom."
Yang Ruolan asked: "Why do you make a loom? You have never learned to weave before? Weaving is very hard. I have also learned how to weave before. After working for a day, I feel that my hands and feet are not my own."
Nangong Anshan said: "I made the loom to increase the speed of weaving. In addition, my loom is different from what you have seen before."
Yang Ruolan said: "Okay, then Auntie supports you, but don't get hurt."
"Okay, Ma'am."
Nangong Anshan continued to fiddle with it.
During the period, Dugu Huanxu brought people over several times and asked her what she was going to do, but she didn't say it directly, she just said that they would know when the time came, and they didn't ask any more questions.
On August 30th, her loom and spinning machine were finally made.
There is already a lot of cotton accumulated in her space, and she plans to start weaving cotton this time.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Nan Gongyao hurried to open the door, not long after Dugu Huanxu brought two guards, Xiao Ruiyan led Qianhua, Shen Kaiyu and Xiao Ruishen walked in together.
As soon as Dugu Huanxu entered the yard, he looked at the big guy who was taller than him in front of him, and asked in surprise, "This...why does it feel like a loom?"
Nangong Anshan smiled and said, "Yes, this is the loom."
This loom is as big as the Dahualou loom she saw in her previous life, but because of the shuttle and other improvements, the speed of weaving is unprecedentedly fast in Qinglong Kingdom.
Dugu Huanxu said: "Flying shuttle? What is the flying shuttle?"
"It's a shuttle used for weaving." Nangong Anshan picked up the shuttle and showed it to him, and said, "The shuttle is actually a shuttle with small wheels installed in the chute, and springs are installed at both ends of the chute. Allows the shuttle to travel back and forth extremely quickly."
The spring was custom-made by someone she went to the blacksmith shop to find.
"So it is."
Dugu Huanxu looked at a smaller machine next to him, and said, "What is this?"
"Spinning machine." Nangong Anshan said: "Before weaving, cotton needs to be turned into thread. My spinning machine can produce ten cotton threads at a time. It is different from ordinary spinning machines. Ordinary spinning The machine can only produce one cotton thread at a time."
