After Yang Min left, Gensheng took out the soap packaging box he made according to Lin Xu's request and showed it to Lin Xu.
These are palm-sized wooden boxes, solid wood color, with patterns of plum blossoms, sweet-scented osmanthus, orchids and other colors painted on the top with rough and elegant brushstrokes. The whole box is a mortise and tenon structure without a single nail, making it look very small and delicate.
"Well, very good, just what I wanted!"
Lin Xu praised him with great satisfaction.
Such a wooden box, even in the 21st century, is still considered a handicraft with excellent workmanship!
"hey-hey......"
After hearing Lin Xu's praise, Gensheng's face showed a shy but happy smile.
"Is it energy-producing?"
"Okay! This kind of box is not difficult to make, and basically everyone here can get started..."
"Well, let's mass-produce it as soon as possible!"
Lin Xu said casually, and then laughed: "I'm not forcing you to rush the work. You can just work according to your own schedule. I don't want to be in a hurry. In addition, you still have too few manpower here.
After a while, I will give you some more people later. Even if they don’t have any skills, it would still be good to help you."
"Hey, thank you sir!"
Gensheng is very happy. He is indeed short of manpower here. The key is that the workload is getting bigger and bigger. It would be great if more people can be hired!
Later, Lin Xu went to see Zhang Lie again to see if he had made any new progress recently.
Although the season is already late autumn, the blacksmith shop is still in full swing, with the temperature almost reaching the height of summer. Everyone is bare-backed and wearing a pair of large pants, and the sound of "clang-clang-clang" is heard all the time!
Although Zhang Lie is already the commander of the craftsman camp, he still takes the lead and takes the lead in forging iron every day!
At this moment, Zhang Lie was wielding a sledgehammer. The tendons on his body were full of masculine vigor. It was really exciting to see!
Seeing Lin Xu coming, someone immediately went over to remind Zhang Lie.
"Brother-in-law is here!"
Zhang Lie put down the hammer and walked towards Lin Xu with a roar.
I can't help but yell, it's too noisy here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hear it at all.
"Brother Lie, thank you for your hard work!"
Lin Xu picked up a towel from the shelf nearby and handed it to Zhang Lie.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you work hard, the key is that the progress is too slow!"
Zhang Lie took the towel, wiped his face carelessly, and said very depressedly: "The machine tool is really too complex and too delicate. Just one part can keep me busy for several days! I have to assemble the entire machine tool.
I don’t know how much more time it will take!”
"Don't worry, take your time! It's really difficult for you to build a machine tool under the current conditions! However, I believe that with your strength, Brother Lie, you will be able to build a machine tool sooner or later!"
Lin Xu complimented him to boost Zhang Lie's confidence!
"That's right! If I can't build a machine tool, it will be even worse for others!"
Zhang Lie said very arrogantly.
There is no way, in terms of blacksmithing, Zhang Lie has never convinced anyone!
"The machine tool is too difficult, so why not put it aside and focus on the gantry crane first?"
Lin Xu suggested.
Some time ago, Lin Xu gave Zhang Lie the drawings of a simple gantry hammock that he had modified according to the current conditions, and asked him to cooperate with Gensheng and others to find a way to overcome it.
