Husband in Another World

Chapter 54 Building a factory

"Little Mo, what do you think this is?" Zhou Jing happily brought in two large quilts from the outside. The quilt surface was a bright red as bright as fire. I have seen this beautiful red. Even the red cloth in the town's cloth shop was covered with a layer of dullness, and the color was dull.

Shen Mo was attracted at a glance, and when he looked closely, he found that the cotton cloth was fine in texture, high in gloss and soft to the touch. A pair of colorful mandarin ducks are embroidered on the back, jubilantly playing in the water.

Such a good material, such a fine embroidery, made Shen Mo fond of it, and couldn't help stroking it from top to bottom. Looking at the bed he was making, it was immediately compared to a cheap cheap thing. One seems to be a charming and charming lady in the deep pavilion, and the other is a village girl who came out of the village to live in the village.

"This red is so beautiful. I haven't seen it before, and I haven't seen such a beautiful red even in the town's cloth house." Shen Mo liked it very much, so he didn't let go. "Brother Jing, such a good-looking color must be very expensive, and it doesn't look like what we have here. Was it brought over by someone from the south?"

At this time, the dyeing skills were not mature, and the color was ugly and ugly, and the color was very unauthentic. It is the red cloth commonly used for weddings, or it is dyed as if there is a layer of dust, and there is no luster at all.

When Zhou Jing first wore it, he found that the colors of the fabrics here were monotonous and not bright enough. There were only a few colors that were equally ugly and rustic.

Zhou Jing was a little proud and showed off: "Of course not, I dyed it myself. My little husband just wants such a simple request for a bed and quilt, of course I will meet

it." Is it cooking and drying, so you are busy with this?"

"Yes." Zhou Jing said.

A small spring flows through my heart, warm and slow.

"Brother Jing, I'm really lucky to meet you." Shen Mo said softly.

Zhou Jing held Shen Mo's cheeks, and put a gentle and extremely pious kiss on Shen Mo's forehead, and then his forehead was placed on his forehead.

"Xiao Mo, it's not my greatest luck in this life to meet you. For this encounter, I traveled through a thousand years." A

thousand years is only to meet you.

Shen Lin took the money, and Wang Ren contributed, bought a 132-square-foot homestead in the village, and built five large brick houses. The house is divided into three bedrooms, a main room and a kitchen, which cost a total of twenty taels of silver.

Without the help of the elderly, all the daily necessities at home need to be purchased, and it costs nearly three taels of silver.

Everything is ready, and in a blink of an eye, it's time to get married.

Shen Lin sat on the back of the cow in a unique red wedding dress made by Shen Mo and dyed by Zhou Jing, and married by Wang Ren.

It is a very beautiful thing to be able to get married on an ox cart. The villagers don't pay attention to the size of the eight-carrying large sedan in the town. They prefer affordable and economical cars. Whether it's a mule cart, a donkey cart, or an ox cart, whichever one will do, that's real money. As for the eight-handed sedan chair, it is just a matter of face for the wealthy, wasting money and not getting any actual benefits.

The villagers believed that although the ox cart that Shen Lin was riding in was not his own, it belonged to his eldest brother. Based on the relationship between him and his eldest brother, it cannot be said that what his eldest brother's house belongs to is his, but at least there is no problem in normal use.

The most eye-catching is the wedding dresses worn by Shen Lin and Wang Ren. That cloth was better than the cotton cloth sold in town for a pound of pork. The texture is delicate, not rough at all, with a translucent brilliance, just looking at it, you know that it must feel very good, and it is soft and comfortable to wear on the body. The color is obviously a bright red to the extreme, but it does not appear vulgar, but instead makes the whole person look full of energy and joy.

The people next to Shen Wen, who was watching the excitement, pointed to Shen Lin's wedding dress and said, "This week, the family is really willing to pay for a pair of children. You can see that the wedding dress material on Shen Lin's body is not only the best. The red color of the muslin cloth is so beautiful. It's not that I haven't seen the world because of my shallow eyelids. In fact, I have a few wealthy relatives in my town. I went to all their wedding ceremonies, and none of the colors looked as good as Shen Lin's suit. I dare to say that this material is definitely not made here, it must have been bought from the south."

It can be seen that Shen Lin is not only happy with the people in the village, but also a few shopkeepers from the town.

The contracts signed by these shopkeepers and Zhou Jing were long and large. From Zhou Jing's small delivery, after Wang Ren took over, they became friends every day, and they all came to support them today.

Butcher Wu came to save face and led his mother-in-law. His mother-in-law had never seen the wedding ceremony of the villagers, so she had to join in the fun.

At first, I thought that the rural people could have something good, just to watch the fun, but I didn't expect that when I saw the wedding dress on Shen Lin's body, my eyes were straight.

Mrs. Wu said to the servant girl who came to serve: "Look at the wedding dress of the new couple, the color is so beautiful!" The

servant girl also liked it. I haven't seen any good things with my master for so many years, but it is the first time that the red color is so beautiful. See.

But when the maids are sweet-mouthed and want to please the master, they say: "The material is nothing, how can the villagers say it is so good, I think that when you got married, Madam, you wore the best double palace silk, dozens of embroidery. The wedding dress that my mother embroidered day and night is much more precious than this."

Mrs. Wu said, "That's true, it's definitely not comparable. I just think this color is very beautiful. If my wedding dress is also this red, it will definitely be more expensive. Show off."

The maid didn't speak, but she was thinking that her younger sister was going to go out. No matter how big the farmer's family was, she would definitely be able to afford the fabrics they could wear. Then she would add a few feet to make a beautiful wedding dress for her sister. The dress, also known as the younger sister's splendid marriage, overwhelms the daughters of the stepmother.

What really surprised the newlyweds was that Wang Fulu and Hao Yulan actually came, sitting in the main room and waiting for them to bow down.

Shen Lin burst into tears as soon as he saw the two old men, and Wang Ren, a man, also had red eyes.

Shen Mo turned to look at Zhou Jing, and asked softly, "You weren't here just now, you just went to invite them." Zhou Jing nodded

.

"I know you hope that your younger brother's marriage ceremony can be a complete success, otherwise you will regret it. I don't want you to have regrets, so I will try my best to do what you expect."

At the banquet that day, Zhou Jing and Cheng Yu had a few more A man who worked in Zhou's house poured Wang Ren down on the wine table, and he was unconscious. Zhou Jing himself was not much better, he was so drunk that he stumbled around, shouting, "Drink you down, take revenge, let your husband knock on my door in the middle of the night to keep me and Xiao Mo sleepy, and I will also make your wedding room candles. No...hic...haha..."

Frightened, Shen Mo hurriedly covered Zhou Jing's nonsense mouth and dragged him back into the room.

One day after the marriage, Wang Ren and Shen Lin kept busy.

After noon was busy, few people had time to eat.

A total of four dishes and one soup were made, two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes. The meat dishes were stir-fried pork with mushrooms and dried pork loin; the vegetarian dishes were hot kohlrabi, hot and sour shredded potatoes; the soup was pork ribs and yam soup.

Wang Ren said while eating: "Brother, some shopkeepers from the town saw Shen Lin and I's wedding dress, and they asked me where I bought the material in the past few days, and wanted to ask me to buy a few. Knowing that the cotton cloth was dyed by yourself, I didn't say it for the time being because I was afraid that you would have other ideas."

Shen Mo also said: "There are several girls in the village who are going to get married and asked me how much a foot is and where to buy it."

Zhou Jing thought about it and said, "I used to think about doing cooked food business, but I made this more profitable. Forget it. Since so many people like it now, it's fortunate that we do this."

Shen Mo wondered: "We want to do a cloth business? Want to weave?"

Zhou Jing shook his head: "No, although it is a cloth business, but we Not weaving, only dyeing. Weaving requires planting hemp to raise silkworms, and reeling silk to weave. We are only responsible for dyeing cloth, dyeing it into fabrics that can be sold, and can also be made into ready-to-wear clothing."

Shen Lin suddenly asked: "How can you dye cloth? No one in our village knows this kind of craftsmanship."

Shen Mohu He hastily said: "Your brother-in-law said from the book, he didn't take it seriously, it didn't catch up with your marriage, and I thought those red colors were not good-looking, so I thought about trying it out, and it turned out that the test really worked, but I don't know where I lost the book."

This is a lie full of loopholes, but in the end it can be considered a complete success, and no one is looking into it.

After deciding to do the cloth dyeing business, the Zhou family began to recruit workers aggressively and choose a site to build a factory.

In order not to affect the lives of the villagers, the site of the factory was chosen to be a wasteland ten miles away from the village. The land there is not fertile and not suitable for growing crops, but it is the most suitable for building a factory. It is close to the village and only half a walk away. time.

The factory covers an area of ​​about 50 square feet. In addition to the bedrooms and dining rooms for workers to rest, there are also six rows of factory buildings.

The first and second rows of factories are divided into ten rooms, each room cooks one or two kinds of dyeing plants.

For example, the indigo color can be dyed with indigo blue, horse blue, and Wu blue. The black color is boiled and dyed with Zuqing, Baotouqing chestnut shell or lotus seed shell and iron sand. Safflower or black plum can be used for big red. The red cloth that Zhou Jing dyed for Shen Mo was dyed with safflower. Goose yellow needs over-dyeing, you can dye the base color with yellow bark water first, and then over-dye with indigo water. Tea brown can be boiled and dyed with lotus seed shells, and then dyed with blue alum. The official green is boiled and dyed with Sophora japonica, and then overdyed with indigo, and the color is adjusted with alum. The azure was dyed light blue in an indigo vat and then dyed with hematoxylin water.

The third row of workshops is dyeing and printing.

The boiled dye water will be transported by a special person on a small cart, and the workers here are responsible for coating limestone with twist boards with pre-carved patterns, spraying them with water, and then drying them on a drying rack.

The fourth row of workshops is painted for the second time. Sometimes some colors cannot get the desired effect after only one dyeing, so they need to be painted a second time, and even multiple painting is done here.

The fifth row of factories is where garments are made. Each worker is responsible for different procedures, one person works together, and the next person is finished.

The last row of workshops is where the embroidery girls embroider. Embroidery girls can't see the overall embroidery pattern, they can only see the part they want to embroider. Embroidery girls in one room all embroider the same part. After the embroidery is finished, it is handed over to a special delivery person to send to the next room. analogy.

All factories and factories, including different rooms in the same row of factories, are not allowed to stray together. Once workers are found to visit other rooms, they will not only be sent home immediately, but also compensate the Zhou family for a huge amount of compensation, even according to the circumstances. Serious cases can be sent to the yamen for inquiries.

These are all made clear to the workers and required to sign a nondisclosure contract. When the shop in Zhoujia Town opened that day, everyone in the village knew that the entire yamen's yamen was there to cheer. Wouldn't it be easy for someone who could call themselves brothers to the yamen to blame a peasant family on them.

Although the Zhou family system is strict, the division of labor is clear and the work and rest are good.
