Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 130 Achievement
Raincoats and abacus are not high-tech, and the production is not complicated.

Before it went on sale, Cui Panpan discussed with Lin Xiaoxiao, and both of them felt that imitations would appear within half a year.Now that raincoats and abacus are out of stock, businessmen are chasing profits, and counterfeit products are expected to appear sooner.

Therefore, the two decided not to keep the production method secret.Both raincoat and abacus crafting methods can be sold.The asking price is not expensive, only ten gold.

Rui Jiang was amazed by Cui Panpan's frank and direct attitude.

"Treasurer Cui is also a sensible person. The raincoat is practical and cheap. It is very likely that every household will have one in the future. Why don't you take such a good business in your own hands and sell the production method instead? "

"Madame Qi also said that raincoats are practical and cheap. For ordinary people, raincoats are more practical than umbrellas, because wearing them will not delay work. And we set a low price in the hope that more people will use them."

"Huh?" Rui Jiang still didn't quite understand what Cui Panpan meant.

Cui Panpan continued: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. Just like I opened a grocery store, I didn't want to be a purely profit-seeking businessman, but to serve the people while making money."

"Serve the common people?" Rui Jiang recalled Cui Panpan's words.

"As I said before, there are more than a thousand permanent residents in Chongyifang, and it is the work of these people that supports the prosperity of Chongyifang. From the beginning of its opening, the goods of the Kunlun Grocery Store were not sold to merchants, but to Give it to more than a thousand people."

Rui Jiang looked at Cui Panpan for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's a pity that the merchants of the Cui family could teach such a businessman as Shopkeeper Cui, otherwise I really want to make friends with the Cui family."

Rui Jiang's words were meant to praise Cui Panpan.But Cui Panpan could hear the aloofness from it.

Cui Panpan was not annoyed, and asked with a calm smile: "Mrs. Qi, do you want to buy the production method now, or order it in our shop?"

Rui Jiang said: "I want to buy the production method, but I also want to make it to order. If you say you can make [-] pieces, then order [-] pieces first."

Cui Panpan said: "Because of the cold weather, the construction period may be extended. If Mrs. Qi orders [-] pieces, I need to set the construction period as two months. Madam, can you accept it?"

"Okay, I will let Qiushuang stay, and she will hand over to Shopkeeper Cui at that time."

"Okay, I'll draw up the contract, please wait a moment. To be honest, Madam won't lose money if she buys the method of making linseed cloth. The method of making linseed cloth is included in the appendix. Presumably, Madam has also seen that linseed cloth has many uses, not just for use. to make raincoats."

After a while of negotiation and bargaining, Cui Panpan signed a contract with Rui Jiang for [-] raincoats, and received another ten gold for selling the method of making the raincoats.

In addition, Rui Jiang also bought ten ordinary wooden abacus before leaving.

Less than an hour after Rui Jiang entered the store, Cui Panpan recorded the total sales of the store last month.

According to the contract, Qiushuang will receive the first batch of [-] raincoats at the Kunlun grocery store half a month later, and the remaining [-] raincoats in another month.

Cui Panpan attached great importance to this business, so he immediately called a clerk from the opposite side to look at the shop in the Tea Bookstore, and then went up the mountain.

When they came to the mountain, Cui Panpan first went to Aunt Jiang.

During this time, Mrs. Jiang took the old and weak women and children in the village to pick up work from Cui Panpan.Brushing sackcloth with tung oil and tailoring is what they do.Cui Panpan paid them more than the embroiderers in Chongyifang.

Therefore, Cui Panpan talked to Aunt Jiang about the contract.I have made two batches of raincoats before, so I don’t need Cui Panpan to say what to do next, it’s all arranged by Mrs. Jiang.

After talking about the raincoat, Cui Panpan went to find Lin Xiaoxiao, only to find that Lin Xiaoxiao was not at home.After asking the nearby villagers, they learned that Lin Xiaoxiao had brought someone into the mountain.

Why did Lin Xiaoxiao go?She went to the mountain to survey the terrain.

It is rainy in Ruiguo, and Lin Xiaoxiao is a little worried about whether it will cause landslides when it rains heavily.In addition, it rained one after another before, and the water flowing down from the mountain was flowing wantonly in the village, which felt a little dangerous.

It is said that Lin Xiaoxiao still has the foresight.Before, she hated dirt roads and asked craftsmen to lay cobblestones in the village and on the way down the mountain.

After the rain, the cobblestone road is cleaner, and it will not affect people's walking and vehicles.

Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to build a diversion channel around the village, so that the rainwater from the mountain would flow down the mountain along the diversion channel.In this way, the rainwater can bypass the village, which can have the effect of flood control.

Lin Xiaoxiao shared her thoughts with the craftsmen.Today is to take the craftsmen up the mountain to check the terrain and discuss how to build the diversion canal.

When Lin Xiaoxiao was working at the grassroots level, she had participated in the construction of flood control canals in rural areas, so she had a good idea in her heart.If it weren't for the lack of generators, she would have wanted to use the diversion canal to generate hydropower.

It is said that Lin Xiaoxiao developed the usage of millet milk after studying the outer fabric of down jackets for Cui Panpan.Later, she did some experiments and found that the properties of millet milk were similar to those of glutinous rice.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help thinking of the saying that glutinous rice was used to reinforce city walls in ancient times, so she immediately asked a craftsman to inquire.

The craftsmen told her that the way of making walls with glutinous rice mortar was not a secret, and that many of them knew it.And they have long known that millet can replace glutinous rice.

Good guy.Lin Xiaoxiao was emotionally excited, so everyone knew about it.

Now that it's like this, it's easy to handle.The diversion channel tank can be made with millet mortar, which is better than digging a dirt dog directly on the ground.

The craftsman also proposed that pebbles could be added to the millet mortar to prolong the service life of the diversion channel.

As we all know, why do the stones in the river have no edges and corners?It is the scouring effect caused by the water flow that accumulates over time.

The flow of water from the diversion channel will continuously flush the sink.Pebbles can save the amount of millet mortar, and can also reduce the impact of water flow and protect the sink.

After some discussion, the materials and technology for constructing the diversion canal are available, so the next step is the construction drawing of the diversion canal.

Laiqi Mountain is huge, and the village occupies less than one-tenth of it.Due to the high mountain, Laiqi Village was not built on the top of the mountain, but was located halfway up the mountain.Although the top of the mountain may be safer, it is too inconvenient to go up and down the mountain.

The diversion tank does not need to be built from the top of the mountain. It is mainly to protect the village, so it is only necessary to build a circle at a certain distance outside the village.

For the convenience of drawing, Lin Xiaoxiao took out the tablet.Draw the electronic sketch first, and then copy it on the linen.

Now Lin Xiaoxiao has also learned from Cui Panpan, and likes to use linen to write and draw.However, what she took was not a roll of cloth, but cut it into pieces and sewed them together, like a book.

Lin Xiaoxiao and the others have been out since morning.It's raining, and everyone is wearing raincoats without affecting their work.After returning to the village for lunch at noon, we continued to go out to investigate.

Lin Xiaoxiao has some tools herself.Craftsmen also have their own tools.The hatchback data corroborates each other, and more detailed and accurate results can be obtained.

Cui Panpan did not go up the mountain to find someone.Knowing that Lin Xiaoxiao had serious business to do, she didn't bother her.She simply changed her clothes and went to Aunt Jiang again, rolled up her sleeves and got busy with everyone.

Chun'er is also working with Aunt Jiang now.She lives on the mountain, has endless work, and plays with girls of the same age, and has long forgotten her mother.

Cui Panpan didn't care too much.She wasn't Xiao Cui in the first place.With Chun'er not around, she didn't have to worry about showing her feet.

Chun'er and Mrs. Jiang are cutting linen in the workshop.It will be more convenient to cut the linen into pieces first, then soak and brush with tung oil.

As soon as Chun'er looked up and saw Cui Panpan coming, she greeted her generously, and then went off on her own.

This is a big change from the previous bluffing and timid appearance.Cui Panpan also felt very good.Everyone is comfortable with each other.

In fact, Cui Panpan occasionally feels that the villagers of Laiqi Mountain are different from other ordinary people.

The villagers of Laiqi Mountain are more energetic, and they treat people more gracefully.This was all influenced by Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao attaches great importance to education, not only teaching children to read and count, but also pulling adults to read and write when they have nothing to do.Therefore, the literacy rate of Laiqishan villagers is very high.This is really commendable.

Tung oil is volatile and has a poisonous smell.The workshop for making linoleum is at the bottom of the village, and the room is ventilated on all sides, and Lin Xiaoxiao stipulates that everyone who works in the workshop must wear a mouth scarf.

Lin Xiaoxiao also put a rechargeable fan in the workshop to help disperse the air in the room and speed up the drying of the cloth.

It is raining today and the weather is cold, but the fans in the workshop are still working.

No way, the weather is too humid.If the fan is not turned on, the soaked linen dries very slowly.

After working for an hour, the sackcloth brushed with tung oil was hung on a wooden rack to dry.This is the first batch of today, and Aunt Jiang is rushing to make the second batch with people.

Cui Pan was looking forward to these linen cloths, suddenly a little dazed.

Chun'er happened to pass by Cui Panpan, saw her expression was a little off, and thought she was worried that the linen would not be dry, so she said, "Young lady, don't worry, we have a lot of charcoal in our village, and when we light charcoal to smoke at night, the linen will dry quickly. This is the method everyone came up with last time when they were rushing to work, blowing the air during the day and warming up at night, these linen cloths are more delicate than the sons of the noble family."

The charging fan cannot run continuously, so it can only be used during the day and charged at the power distribution room at night.

Chun'er was amused by her own words, covered her mouth and laughed.

Cui Panpan came back to his senses, looking at Chun'er's eyes exposed outside the muffler, he broke out in a cold sweat.She suddenly realized what she had done wrong.

She shouldn't have made Aunt Jiang and the others work overtime just to catch up with the raincoat.Making linoleum is a job that is harmful to the body, and it should not be done too much and for a long time.

For five hundred raincoats, the villagers were rushed to work.The thing itself is wrong.The villagers respected her, and she exploited them.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao is usually very talkative, she is also a very principled person.

Lin Xiaoxiao was very happy when she took out the money, and at the same time made it clear that the villagers must be paid and not less.This represents her unwillingness to oppress the villagers.

Cui Panpan was in a hurry to go up the mountain, firstly because he had to meet the construction deadline, and secondly because he wanted to show off to Lin Xiaoxiaoxuan.She only realized now that Lin Xiaoxiao might not approve of her doing this.

Thinking of this, Cui Panpan broke out in a cold sweat.The whole talent woke up from the joy of taking the big order.

When Lin Xiaoxiao and the craftsman returned, it was already dark.

Under the urging of Cui Panpan, the work of the workshop also ended.She also strictly ordered no one to come to work at night.

Nowadays, many people in the village eat in the cafeteria.

Lin Xiaoxiao will give the village committee a sum of money every month, which will be discussed and arranged by the village committee, including the food expenses in the cafeteria.Therefore, villagers do not need to spend money to eat in the cafeteria.

However, the villagers are simple, and they will bring some ingredients to the cafeteria every now and then, such as fresh prey just caught.Regarding this matter, Lin Xiaoxiao saw it.She did not ask the village committee to give money to the villagers who offered to deliver things, but she reminded the canteen to exchange ingredients from the villagers' homes and try not to take advantage of the villagers.

At present, there are many projects started in the village, and there are basically no idlers in each family.Going to the cafeteria to eat not only saves money, but also saves time.Everyone got together to eat, and it was lively.

In addition, Lin Xiaoxiao is also eating in the cafeteria now, and the villagers all want to see her.Although there is nothing wrong, but seeing her will make my heart feel at ease.

It was still raining lightly, Lin Xiaoxiao went directly to the cafeteria without going home to change clothes, and was surprised to see Cui Panpan also.

Cui Panpan often goes back to the mountain, but she rarely eats or spends the night on the mountain, and usually returns to Chongyifang before dark.

"Why are you back, what's up?"

"There are some things. Let's talk about it when we go back after dinner."

Lin Xiaoxiao understood.

After the meal, Lin Xiaoxiao and Cui Panpan returned together.

It's cold in the late autumn night, especially when it's raining.Lin Xiaoxiao took out the electric heater.Mainly she didn't want to sleep in wet bedding.

Cui Panpan lay on Lin Xiaoxiao's latex mattress with a relaxed expression on his face.

"You are still comfortable here. I bet that His Majesty Shi Huang is not as good at enjoying it as you are."

"I enjoy it conditionally. Don't underestimate the ancients, maybe the nobles have their own way, we just don't know much about it."

"That's right. I came back this time because I might have met a big shot."

Cui Panpan talked about the deal with Rui Jiang.

"You signed an order for five hundred raincoats?" Lin Xiaoxiao frowned.That's where her focus really is.

"Yes, but my original intention of signing this form was not to make money, but to form a good relationship with that customer." Cui Panpan argued.

"That Mrs. Qi? What's wrong with her?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.

"In my opinion, she doesn't look like a merchant, nor like Mrs. Qi, but more like the wife in charge of a certain aristocratic family."

"Oh? How did you make this judgment?"

"First of all, she doesn't have the temperament of a businessman. Her momentum and manner when she speaks, as well as the two maids who follow her. Do you know, I can feel the momentum from her maids."

"Could it be that your small grocery store has been spotted by someone, and the other party is testing you? She is only interested in raincoats and abacus? Did you mention to her that down jackets will be launched later?"

By the way, the down jacket designed by Cui Panpan was originally planned to be on the shelves in the next few days, but it was delayed due to the rush to work on the raincoat.

"I have a dangerous idea. Do you think she is Rui Jiang?"
