Four Hundred and Fifty-Two: Handcraft Master (1)
She seriously asked the audience in the anchor room. These people laughed and were still very enthusiastic in nature.
Without spending much time, Jiang Pengji got a lot of text tutorials.
There are not only "Hand Spinning Threads Teach You Step by Step how to weave wool into wool", but also "One Hundred Kinds of Knitting Patterns".
It's just that it's easy to say, but difficult to do. It also involves many details, and the audience in the live broadcast room can't give answers. Jiang Pengji can only try it based on the text version of the guide, or ask about ancient letters.
The other party was also shocked by her idea. Who had ever thought of spinning wool into thread and then using the thread to make warm clothes that could be worn?
Although his idea was a bit weird, Gu Xin gave it a positive thought after careful consideration. Wool must be warm. If his idea came true, it might open up a new industry. He had a hunch that there must be a huge business opportunity here!
Jiang Pengji is an absolute activist. Now that she has an idea, she naturally has to take action.
"Recruit some embroiderers with good skills and rich work experience. The salary will be paid daily and they will take care of three meals a day."
Jiang Pengji is rich now, which is reflected in the fact that she can pay daily wages to the part-time workers she recruits.
As soon as the news was sent out, many women came to apply for the job.
The county urgently needs a large number of manpower to build houses, build roads, and reclaim wasteland, and men and women are not restricted.
Many men and healthy women work hard every day in order to earn wages and support their families.
However, this job requires physical strength and strength. It is only suitable for healthy young men and women. There are also some women who are elderly or in poor health and cannot go out to work, which drags down the whole family. Now I heard that the county government Needing embroiderers with good skills and rich work experience, who can provide three meals a day and generous remuneration, these elderly women also came to apply for the job.
Jiang Pengji did not recruit too many at the beginning, but only selected 50 honest female workers.
Shearing, washing, degreasing, soaking, and air-drying...
The previous steps were followed step by step according to the tutorial, which was not too difficult. The female workers were wondering that this had nothing to do with their craftsmanship. However, Jiang Pengji took care of the food and paid forty wages every day, so they didn't say much.
After finishing these things, Jiang Pengji still worked at the blacksmith shop for two days.
Got out some wool brushes.
Gu Xin watched his little boss tossing up and down, and suddenly had the illusion that time had gone back and his old boss was still alive. Looking back on the past, the old employer also worked so hard to build a papermaking workshop.
The carded wool is spun into long threads using a mallet, and then stranded to increase its toughness.
Jiang Pengji's hands-on ability is not bad, and the wool threads she makes are also decent, not to mention the female workers who work hard. They all seem to have a certain obsessive-compulsive disorder and must make the wool threads equal in thickness.
After experimenting for a while, I have basically got it started. With fifty people working together manually, the efficiency has been greatly improved.
In just a few days, hundreds of balls of wool have been accumulated.
When the female workers heard that the county magistrate wanted to use these wool balls to spin clothes, they secretly murmured while Jiang Pengji was away.
"My dear, how can you use such thick embroidery thread on clothes? Is it used for repair?"
A female worker chuckled, sat on the pony, and brushed the wool skillfully with both hands.
"A thread is thicker than the hole in the clothes. How do you mend this?"
Someone else said, "Who knows? Even though our county magistrate is young, he has a lot of ideas. Since he paid people to come and do the work, he must have his intentions. If you are so curious, go to the county magistrate yourself. Let me ask you, why are you talking so much here? If you don’t want to do this job, there are many people who want to do it for you.”
The female worker felt a little guilty, "It's just a private talk, and it won't reach the ears of the county magistrate..."
What is Jiang Pengji doing at this time?
She was studying various knitting patterns and reporting to the Government Affairs Office every day. When Feng Jin and others looked up, they could see her competing with two wooden needles and a ball of wool. They couldn't help but secretly hold their foreheads. Such a lord is really worth it. pill.
She was seen holding two long sharpened needles in both hands. There was a bamboo paper book with dense writing on the table in front of her, with a serious and solemn expression. However, if someone could see the barrage in the live broadcast room, they probably wouldn’t think so.
[Qiyue Mint]: Hahaha - hot chicken anchor, finally there is something you don't know how to do.
[Jiu Niang Mao Tuanzi]: #诗面, anchor, what are you so stubborn about? Just throw the booklet to the female workers and let them study it. There are specialties in the art. Knitting is a knowledge and an art. Although it is quite simple, it really requires a little talent. I see you have been knitting for more than an hour, and I wish I could crawl into the screen, hold your hands, and teach you how to knit step by step...
Really, they would rather watch Jiang Pengji play in the mud.
[Thousand Layer Durian Cake]: Hahaha, don’t be so honest upstairs, I still want to watch the anchor sweater.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed mercilessly. Jiang Pengji frowned and threw the stick and needle on the table with two clangs.
Qi Guanrang secretly pouted and looked away silently to avoid being caught by Jiang Pengji watching the fun.
Because Gu Xin sent a large amount of grain, horses and sheepskins, these things had to be counted and put into storage one by one.
Qi Guan made these people busy with this, and relived the pain of working overtime to death. But his master did not pity his subordinates. He was holding two wooden needles and a ball of wool, and he didn't know what he was doing over there... Once he encountered a bottleneck, he would just throw a tantrum and throw things.
Comparing people makes people angry!
Otherwise, why should he work overtime when he is the master?
At this time, Li Yun, who went out to buy fine seeds in Chengde County next door, came back. He was still wearing a slightly worn brown short coat, revealing his muscular arms. His feet were washed clean, and his trouser legs were gathered to his knees, revealing his strong and explosive calves.
The appearance of Li Yun diverted the attention of some fans.
Jiang Pengji glanced at Li Yun, looked at the knitting needles and wool on the table, and waved to him without waiting for Li Yun to salute.
"Hanmei, come here. There is a crucial task for you. Can you complete it successfully?"
Suddenly, Feng Jin and the other two and the audience in the live broadcast room had a bad premonition. Wait——
Qi Guanrang widened his eyes in astonishment, watching Li Yun's innocent and enthusiastic smile.
"My lord has entrusted me, and Yun will do his best."
Jiang Pengji nodded, with a serious expression, as if what she was about to say was very important.
"In another month, it will be the autumn harvest, and the weather is getting colder day by day. What is worrying is that the county people have not prepared enough clothes to keep warm in the winter. In order to let the people wear warm clothes, I accidentally found a knitting method, but my hands are not flexible and I have not been able to study it thoroughly. In addition, there are other things, and I am too busy. Take a good look at it and study it. If this craft can be brought back to the light of day, I don't know how many people can benefit from it. You must take it seriously, so as not to disappoint the people's high expectations."
Feng Jin and the other two: "..."
The audience in the live broadcast room: "..."
