"It's not hard work. My husband is willing to teach me things because he respects me."
Mancang smiled naively, took the water bowl and drank it cleanly.
Ever since he followed Jin Feng, no one in the village dared to laugh at him anymore.
Although he is busy, he is full of joy from the bottom of his heart.
"Sir, my brother has hired a few more craftsmen. When do you think this batch will be finished?"
Mancang asked.
Perhaps he had suffered losses before, so Tang Dongdong was particularly concerned about keeping secrets.
Not only in the textile workshop, when I heard that Jin Feng was going to build a new iron-making furnace, he quickly told Zhang Liang and Tieniu that they had traveled to several towns and found several groups of masons to build different parts of the furnace.
In fact, if you want to make good steel, in addition to the furnace, you also need strict processes and the addition of various mineral powders for assistance. This is the real core technology.
Even if these workers go out and build an identical furnace, without these things, they still cannot smelt good iron.
Jin Feng also knew that Tang Dongdong was doing it for his own good, so he did not refuse. However, Jin Feng did not take this matter too seriously and replied casually:
"Just look at the arrangements."
In Mancang's view, this was Jin Feng's trust in him, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to be swept away.
Now that he was here, after seeing the iron smelting workshop, Jin Feng followed Mancang to the textile workshop.
The new textile workshop is very large and requires many spinning wheels. The woodworkers have already sent parts for nearly a hundred spinning wheels.
The work that should be arranged today has almost been arranged, and Jin Feng is going to help Mancang assemble it.
As a result, before entering the yard, I heard a quarrel coming from inside.
Hearing the sound of Guan Zhuzhu coming from inside, Jin Feng couldn't help but frown slightly, quickened his pace and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Dongdong blocking the door of the textile workshop, Guan Zhuzi standing at the door losing his temper, and Guan Xiaorou trying to persuade him.
"Tang Dongdong, let me tell you, if you dare to stop me again, I will beat you to death, do you believe it?"
Guan Zhuzi turned his back to Jin Feng and pointed at Tang Dongdong.
After saying that, he pushed Guan Xiaorou away and turned around to pick up the stick on the ground.
Seeing Jin Feng and Mancang approaching, Guan Zhuzhu not only did not feel guilty, but ran to Jin Feng, pointed at Tang Dongdong angrily and said: "Brother-in-law, you are here just in time, give me a quick review!"
Jin Feng did not speak, but glanced coldly at the wooden stick in Guan Zhuzhu's hand.
Guan Zhuzhu smiled sarcastically, threw away the stick, and continued: "Brother-in-law, you went to my house and saw that your sister-in-law's spinning wheel is too old and the spinning is too slow, so I thought of giving your sister-in-law a spinning wheel.
I went to discuss it with Xiaorou, but before Xiaorou said anything, that girl Tang Dongdong actually said no first. I quarreled with her, but Xiaorou still protected her.
Brother-in-law, we are a family. Who does Tang Dongdong mean? Why..."
"Tang Dongdong is the shopkeeper I hired. She is indispensable for the development of the workshop to what it is today!"
Jin Feng interrupted Guan Zhuzhu's words and said coldly: "If you dare to speak rudely to Dongdong and Xiaorou again, don't blame me for being unkind! Also, don't go near the workshop again!"
After months of training on the battlefield, Jin Feng personally ordered the execution of countless party soldiers. When he was calm, he looked like a weak scholar as usual, but when he lost his temper, his momentum suddenly came out.
Although his voice was low and he didn't say any harsh words, his cold eyes made Guan Zhuzi break into a cold sweat.
It seemed as if Jin Feng was going to kill someone in the next second.
Only then did Guan Zhuzi remember that Jin Feng was not only a weak scholar, but also a tiger-fighting hero who had been on the battlefield.
He lowered his head and ran away in despair.
Guan Xiaorou was also frightened by Jin Feng's look just now. She shrank her neck and whispered: "Master, don't be angry. I will definitely talk to my brother when I get back..."
"No need to say anything to him, just let him go back."
Jin Feng said coldly.
During this period, the men in Guanjiawan performed very well. They all worked very hard. On a hot day, they did not take a break at noon and went to work right after eating.
Jin Feng was very satisfied with this.
Guan Zhuzi thought that he was Jin Feng's uncle, so he did not work and wandered around the village all day long.
Jin Feng has been very busy recently and is too lazy to talk to him.
But this guy just asked for a spinning wheel, but he actually wanted to beat Tang Dongdong, so Jin Feng wouldn't tolerate him.
Guan Xiaorou heard that Jin Feng was really angry, so she nodded lightly and said "Yeah" in a low voice.
After getting married, Jin Feng came first in Guan Xiaorou's heart. Although she was sad about the conflict between her brother and Jin Feng, she would still stand by Jin Feng.
"Dongdong, I'm sorry."
After Guan Xiaorou left, Jin Feng apologized to Tang Dongdong: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Sister Xiaorou has been helping me stop Brother Zhuzi."
Tang Dongdong didn't expect Jin Feng to apologize and quickly waved his hand.
Jin Feng thought for a moment and said:
"After we move here, you will be in charge of the textile workshop. I will assign two veterans here later. If something like this happens again, you can just call the veterans and beat them away."
A qualified leader does not need to do everything himself, but must be able to know people and assign them well.
After this period of observation, Tang Dongdong is the most suitable person for managing the textile workshop among the people Jin Feng knows.
By leaving this to her, Jin Feng can devote more energy to other aspects.
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I won't let you down."
When Tang Dongdong heard this, he nodded heavily in surprise.
She had been waiting for Jin Feng's words for a long time.
"Let's go and assemble the spinning wheel and try to move it here as soon as possible."
Jin Feng entered the workshop with a smile.
What happened here somehow reached the old patriarch of Guanjiawan. When Jin Feng and Mancang went out to eat at noon, they found the old patriarch standing silently in the open space at the entrance of Jin Feng's courtyard.
"Brother-in-law, you are finally back."
Xiao'e came out from behind the big tree, grabbed Jin Feng and said, "Grandpa San has been waiting for you all morning."
"Just standing here waiting?"
Jin Feng glanced at the old village chief in surprise.
It was summer now, and it was very hot when the sun came out. The clan leader did not find a shady place, and just stood there in the sun.
"Um."
Xiao'e nodded: "Third Grandpa didn't ask anyone to call you. He didn't drink the water my sister and I brought him. He just stood there. My sister cried several times."
"This old man has quite a personality."
Jin Feng probably guessed the reason why the clan leader was waiting for him. He walked over dumbfounded and said at the same time: "Xiao'e, bring me a bowl of water."
On such a hot day, it would be bad if the old man got a heat stroke.
"Uncle..."
As soon as the old patriarch opened his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by Jin Feng.
"Third Grandpa, I know what you are going to say. I am not that narrow-minded and will not offend my other brothers and uncles just because Guan Zhuzi is alone.
Are you really worried about this, old man?"
Jin Feng helped the old patriarch into the house: "Don't worry, I see everyone's efforts. They are all good, and the wages will not be less."
"Then will you still want our girls from Guanjiawan to work?"
