Chapter 166 Liu Chuer's ecstasy
Chen Lin made up his mind secretly.
The cotton must be converted into products.
Even if you reduce your profits, you have to throw them out as soon as possible.
Just weaving, when will Liu Chuer's weaving workshop be busy?
What if I make ready-made clothes?
For example, a simple colored cotton jacket or quilt?
It is definitely not possible to rely on hand sewing from this era alone.
How much cotton could Chen Lin receive in the end?
Let’s talk about 200,000 dan?
That's a massive amount of 20 to 30 million kilograms.
Even if everyone in Lushui Tiecheng is converted into sewing workers, they will be too busy.
It's not realistic.
Do you want someone to take off cotton seeds?
Where is the oil press?
Of course, cotton seeds are easy to store, and the oil can be placed first.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin decided to build an unprecedented machine.
Sewing machine.
Of course, it is very simple.
He does not have the batch of precision parts like later generations.
The casting parts and forged parts polished by the workshop are much worse, but they are not unusable.
Three days later, when the cotton was continuously pulled back.
Liu Chu'er ran to urge Chen Lin with a frown.
The guy laughed loudly and asked his second uncle and others to send a piece of parts to the weaving workshop.
Nowadays, the weaving and dyeing workshops have begun to resume operations.
There are big girls and little wives running around everywhere.
Everyone's face was filled with a happy smile, and they were walking with wind.
It's so busy.
Being busy means a significant increase in income.
In the twelfth month of winter, who doesn’t want to make more money and subsidize your family?
The women in Tiecheng, Lushui, are different from other places.
They are so capable.
Many women's income even exceeds that of their own men.
For example, gentlemen who have just entered school to teach.
They can only receive a starting monthly salary of one or two silver taels now.
But the family members entered a papermaking workshop, printing house or weaving workshop.
That would be amazing.
A monthly salary of one or two taels of silver is just a workload of four hours a day.
Overtime income is higher.
Almost every female worker, who doesn’t work for six hours?
If Chen Lin hadn't cared about them.
Let Liu Chu'er force them to drive them home and change shifts and rest.
These hardworking women wish they would not go home for twelve hours a day.
The salary for overtime has doubled.
In other words, ordinary female workers work for six hours a day.
You can get two taels of silver in one month.
He also spent money on dressing and eating.
I spent all day in the workshop, where was there an extra money?
It would be strange if everyone didn't flock to it.
On a large operating table.
Chen Lin waved his hands like a butterfly.
Senior technician demonstrated by himself.
Even the eyes were a little bit too far, and they couldn't keep up with the progress.
Assemble, apply lubricating oil...
A quarter of an hour later, a strange-shaped iron lump machine was formed.
Chen Lin sat on the chair, stomping his feet slightly.
The flywheel makes a slight "brushing" sound, causing the needle tip to rise and fall.
The human eye can't see clearly.
"Yeah, it will be available!"
Chen Lin penetrated the cotton thread that had been prepared long ago into the pinhole, and the thread spindle was also fixed.
"Chu'er, bring the pressed cotton blank!"
Liu Chu'er quickly brought the two layers of grey cloth with cotton over.
This is the back part of a cotton coat.
Chen Lin pressed the corners and turned on the switch.
"Brush!"
With the needle tip flashing.
The grey cloth quickly pushed it back.
What is left is a fine and dense pin that is many times more uniform than manual.
"God!"
Everyone watching was shocked.
If the adults don’t take action, they will be gone.
As soon as he took action, he invented such a practical machine?
This sewing speed.
Is it worth fifty sewing ladies?
Within ten breaths, the grey cloth on the back was sewn.
Chen Lin reached out and pulled it.
"It's OK, it's quite strong!"
Liu Chu'er didn't care about 10 or 20 people present, so she rushed over and squirted.
"My husband, you...you are so awesome."
Others applauded.
A loud applause!
Uncle Er scratched his head and said happily.
"We heard the name of this sewing machine, but we couldn't understand how it should be done?"
"I'm assembled today, haha, it's simply amazing!"
"A bunch of iron lumps, after a wonderful idea from the adults, they actually..."
For a moment, he couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.
Uncle Chen Zhonghe's eyes were shining with golden light.
"Successful work!"
He has always been worried about the fact that glass products cannot be made public or sold.
But now we have a huge amount of low-priced cotton.
There is also a hundred-dished weaving machine, and the rough dyeing cloth is also very simple.
When we sell daily necessities such as cotton coats and quilts, we are not worried that others will covet it, right?
Chen Lin turned his head and ordered.
"Just follow this assembly order!"
"Uncle II, build two hundred sewing machines as soon as possible."
"In addition, I ordered my cousin Chen Cheng from the Woodenware House to build a large number of spinning looms."
Chen Cheng is the only son of the old carpenter Chen Zhonggui.
Originally, it would be good for his son to inherit his father's business.
His father's wooden shop is very prosperous.
But young people don’t want to stay in a small wooden shop for the rest of their lives.
Chen Lin happened to set up a woodworking workshop and dug him over to be the manager at a high price.
Chen Chengren is real and has superb skills.
He was in charge of dozens of people, but he was doing well.
Chen Zhongyuan knew that it was difficult to manage too much cotton.
It's cold now, and it's the peak season for cotton coats, cotton pants and quilts.
The workshop naturally needs to cooperate closely.
He said solemnly.
"Sir, please make sure to complete the task."
Chen Lin explained to Liu Chuer again.
"Before starting work every day, remember to check and apply oil!"
"After the production is completed, leave a few skilled assemblers."
“Specially maintain these sewing machines.”
"In addition, you have to step up training a group of young ladies with good eyes and energy to be weavers and sewing workers."
Liu Chu'er smiled and patted her towering chest to assure her.
"Dear, don't worry."
"In the past few days, more than 200 households have moved into the city."
"As far as my little sister is thirteen or fourteen years old, my aunt is 40 or fifty years old, I'm asking me for inquiries!"
"We don't have shortage of female workers now."
Not to mention, buying a house with a loan is very exciting.
The new female workers brought a great sensation.
In addition, the cultivation of winter wheat is approaching.
Working overtime can a female worker earn more than twenty taels of silver in a year?
Even if you buy a house with full payment, there is no pressure.
Who would want to face the loess and face the sky all day long?
Working in the workshop is very tiring.
but.
There is no need to bask in the sun, you are exhausted, right?
Eating well and living well is several times greater than the harvest of farming.
Only fools are nostalgic about the output in the field.
Besides, it’s not that I won’t farm.
Isn’t there an elderly person at home to take care of it?
At worst, it would be better to hire a few short-term workers from other places during the busy farming season.
There are more than ten villages under Chen Lin's jurisdiction.
This year, the water conservancy renovation and the cultivation of winter wheat reached an unprecedented 40,000 acres.
In summer and autumn, grain output is even lower.
There are also 60,000 to 70,000.
