Alien world

Chapter 61. 61. The Beginning of an Era

[Aunt Susan & Uncle Huolin:
Mr. Fast, please run for me.

Martin and I were on good terms, and Martin had a steady job as a tavern boy, very close to me.The tavernkeeper is an acquaintance of Mr. Fast, so don't worry.The salary in the tavern is one silver coin a week, and the salary will be increased in the future. I know that you and Uncle Huolin have always loved Martin implicitly, and I think Martin will save this money and bring it back to you.

I live in the attic next to the tavern, downstairs is the spinning mill, and the creak of the spinning wheel every day reminds me of you, although you have never spun, and Uncle Holling does the mending.

Breeze City inspired me, and I am currently improving the spinning wheel, which will spin several times faster than it is now.I'm going to call it a spinner susan to thank you for helping me.By the time you receive this letter, its name should already be known to many.

Here's what Martin wants to tell you:
That girl named Lenna is so pretty, can I make her my wife if I give her all the money like Uncle Hollin did and then act like a cow?What is An Nanyi writing?A message for home?Who is Aunt Susan?
These are the words Martin left for you.

Don't worry about us, after some time, Martin and I will go back to visit you after the matter in Breeze City is settled. 】

Put the letter in an envelope, paint it with wax, and give it to Soluman Bronzebeard.She'll give it to Mr. Fast the next time she delivers wine to Flatwoods.

As for why it is called the Susan Spinning Machine instead of the Holling Spinning Machine... the public is more likely to accept women weaving and men farming.

It's like people prefer to believe that a bandit is called "The Beheader" rather than Olivier Saint Gapar.

Andrew Luna marked an open space in the warehouse for Annan and the goblin to make the Susan Spinning Machine.The spinning wheel is ready-made: Annan borrowed 5 gold coins from Andrew Luna, spent 3 gold coins to buy this second-hand spinning wheel from downstairs and refitted it for the goblin, and then used 2 gold coins to buy spindles and tools.

This is a necessary price.

However, Annan found that everyone he knew seemed to have borrowed money from him...

In the afternoon, Dole squatted in front of the spinning wheel, which was much taller than it, and was loading the yarn wheel.

The human strength of this world is generally greater than that of the earth, so the first Suzanne spinning machine Annan increased to ten spindles, which means ten times the efficiency.

Whether erecting the spindles or making the spinning wheel more complicated, there is no difficulty, and a carpenter can do it. Dole thinks this job is too simple, so he thinks this is an opportunity given by Annan to the goblin, and is even more grateful.

Annan is different from other human beings.No prejudice, no arrogance, and no mercy.

Being a clever goblin, Dolle decides to finish the spinning wheel with his own hands and do it better...

"Can... can you help me? I can't move it."

The biggest problem that hinders the goblin from completing the spinning wheel independently is too little strength.

The serious Dole lost the timidity of the goblin, and Annan squatted beside him, occasionally handing out tools, watching Susan's spinning machine gradually take shape.

After assembling the spindles and grinding wheel on the spinning wheel, Annan tried it for a while, and it was a bit difficult to turn the spinning wheel, so he applied some pine oil to lubricate it.After a little effort to get the ten spindles to rotate at the same time, Annan completed the second work reproduced in this world.

"I'll call them over!"

Annan ran to the tavern next door and found three guys gathered at the wine table in the lobby.

"Don't you have any serious business to do?" Annan seemed to have never seen them do anything.

"My property is here." Andrew Luna pointed to his feet.

"There is no commission suitable for me." The slightly drunk Michael said lazily.

Annan looked at Soluman Bronzebeard who needed to run around between taverns.

"Humans don't like me, I asked my subordinates to do it." The female dwarf said.

Annan had no choice but to announce: "Susan's spinning machine is ready."

Taking them and Martin, who joined the fun, to the warehouse, Annan demonstrated the operation himself, and then the three of them who felt novelty tried it one after another.

When the ten spindles rotated together, and the slender yarn stretched out from the other end, the special aesthetic rules and rhythms made them stare at the spinning wheel in amazement.

When the gears called machinery rotate, everyone has not realized what the scene in front of them represents.

"Why has no one thought of such a simple thing?" Michael felt unbelievable, and asked Annan slightly over the proud goblin: "Then what are you going to do next?"

"Pricing?"

A brand new spinning wheel costs about 5 guinnars, the best spinning wheel currently costs 8 gold coins, and a ten-spindle susan spinning machine seems to sell for 40 gold coins.

But it can't be calculated that way.People who pay 5 gp for a spinning wheel or used one will, but no one pays 80 gp for a spinning wheel.Even if this spinning wheel has 10 spindles.

And the quality of cotton spun from a 10-spindle spinning wheel was not as good as that of the best spinning wheel.

"I think it should be 10 silver coins." Martin said as he stretched out his hand to the spinning wheel, but was blocked by Soluman Bronzebeard.

You can always rely on dwarves.

"Why don't you ask the owner of the spinning mill downstairs?"

"I'll call him," Andrew Luna said.

The landlord quickly brought the owner of the spinning mill, and the one that was about to be completed was covered with a gray cloth.

Annan asked him: "If there is a spinning machine ten times faster than the spinning machine downstairs, how much gold coins are you willing to pay for it?"

"Uh... I won't buy one either."

"why?"

The owner of the spinning mill said honestly: "Because I already have ten spinning machines."

"But it can be manipulated by one person."

"But it only saves the cost of hiring the spinners. Well...with all due respect, there is enough cotton yarn for me to sell."

The owner of the spinning mill euphemistically said that many factories and households still use worse spinning wheels or even hand spinning, and those who have dozens of gold coins to buy a spinning wheel don’t need to buy a spinning wheel——

If you want to sell Susan Spinning Machine, you should choose those big spinning mills.Obviously, cooperation with Ms. Fine Wine is inevitable.

"You just have to say a suitable price." Andrew Luna waved his hand.

"I think... 30 gold coins is an appropriate price."

With the results, Andrew Luna left with the spinner boss.He frequently turned his head to stare at the outline under the gray cloth, still wondering what a spinning wheel with 10 times the efficiency would look like. It didn't look as big as ten spinning wheels.

Andrew Luna came back, staring at the spinning wheel that lifted the gray cloth, and suddenly sighed: "This machine of yours will make many people lose their jobs."

Annan couldn't answer because the same thing happened to the historical spinning jenny.

"I don't blame you." Andrew Luna whispered an old proverb: "The convoy that brings the goods makes the trader lose his job..."

"How long will it take to finish it?" the dwarf asked.
"Before the next sunrise!" Dole, who finally had his turn to speak, puffed out his chest.

"Now there is one last question."

Annan looked at the partners around him.

"Where can I buy roses?"
