Chapter 406 Being targeted
Early next morning
Tangjia Village was recruiting good workers, and Old Lady Hua selected seven more old ladies, making a total of eight old ladies including herself.
Plus four girls from the Nine Tribes who are good at making hairpins.
I packed up some of the plastic sheets, silver threads, various finished petals, and finished stamens early and went to the east side of the river.
It is not too cold now, so we will start teaching the work in the yard of Tang Lizheng’s house.
Old Lady Fang looked at these young wives, and the eldest girl shouted, "Let our team leader speak first."
A group of young wives and girls sat upright with serious expressions.
Old Lady Hua faced the crowd and took two steps forward: "Are you all here?"
The village head's wife, Mrs. Dou, said, "Everyone is here, team leader."
"Okay, let me say a few words to you all. Follow the masters and learn the skills you have learned. The skills you have learned are yours. You are standing here only temporarily.
Only if you learn quickly and we think your skills are good, can you keep your job.
You must cherish this opportunity. You can earn money by staying at home. When we were young, such a good thing was not available.
Day after day, they work in the loess, facing the earth and with their backs to the sky, sweat drops down and breaks into pieces, but they still don't earn much money.
So girls, you've come to a good time. As long as you work hard to learn the skills, do you, the young wives who get married, still have to work in the fields like others in the future?
Not to mention that you don’t have to work in the fields, your men and your mothers-in-law will have to coax you because you can earn money.
The same goes for unmarried girls. Once you learn this craft, you can take our materials home and make it yourself.
With this skill, not to mention that you will have more confidence when you marry into a family in the future, since you are so good at making money, won’t you be able to choose a good family?"
Of course, you still need to pay a deposit when you get the goods.
No matter whether it was a young girl or a young wife, once they were fooled by Old Lady Hua, they would definitely put in 200% of their efforts.
But this thing is indeed a bit difficult and it is impossible to learn it all at once. After all, making a hairpin does require a certain level of proficiency.
Two old ladies in each group taught how to cut the plastic sheet into the shapes of large and small petals:
"Can the petals of a budding flower be the same size? This has to be done layer by layer, from small to large."
"Oh, use some strength on your hands. You haven't had enough food. It's thin or dry. How come you can't even cut a piece of plastic cloth? The plastic cloth for making hairpins must be thick. If it's not thick, it will easily break. Go home and sharpen your scissors."
"You see, the petals of peach blossoms are similar to a heart shape. You said you have never seen other peonies before. It's okay to get them mixed up at first, but how can you get the peach blossoms wrong?"
Anyway, the old ladies are really disgusted. Why do they look like the girls from Tangjia Village, looking at the girls from the nine clans who are not smart?
Four master chefs were selected, Wang Taohua, Shen Daya, Shen Yaya, and Guo Erya, each responsible for teaching twenty-five people.
One person was holding a candle, holding a petal-shaped plastic sheet with a bamboo clip: "Look at the distance of my plastic sheet from the fire, the plastic sheet cannot be blackened at all.
While the plastic is still soft and not hot, bend the petals. That's right, but the curvature of your petals is a bit too big."
"Copper wire is expensive. It can't be too long or too short. Put it in, hold one end firmly, and keep rotating the other end. The copper wire needs to be twisted into a twist. Think about how you twist silk thread. It's the same principle."
"After adding the stamens, a flower is made. See these colorful silk threads? We have to use them to wrap up the copper wires that make the flower. Otherwise, the copper wires will hook your hair. Be careful when wrapping them and make them dense.
What color thread should I choose? Is there any need to ask? For example, this yellow flower can be matched with dark green plastic. If you really can't tell how to match, then you can just use red thread. Red goes with nothing. If that doesn't work, just use the thread that matches the flower."
At the same time, Fu Huaian, who returned to Beijing from the military camp again, did not go north after entering Fang County from the East Gate.
Following behind him was Achi, and the two of them rode two horses and headed straight for the South City Gate.
"Master, after exiting the South City Gate, turn right at the first official road and you will reach Tangjia Village."
Fu Huaian nodded and waved the whip in his hand: "Go!"
The sound of horse hooves splashed, raising a cloud of dust; the horse ran against the wind, its cloak fluttering.
This time he went to Tangjia Village to ask Shen Zhiqiu about the soles of shoes. After trying them on for a few days, Fu Huaian felt that the soles were good.
If the cost is low, lower than hand-made soles, he decided to let Shen Zhiqiu and others provide the soles. Whether to find someone to make the shoes or let Shen Zhiqiu and others find someone to make the shoes themselves will have to be discussed at that time.
Of course, it’s too early to say anything now. We have to see the production of Shen Zhiqiu and others. What if the production can’t keep up?
This was something Fu Huaian was not happy to see. After all, in general, in this situation, the court would only buy what it needed from you. Of course, whether you could still use it depended on the importance of the thing.
In fact, this is also the reason why their family, having known for a long time that Shen Zhiqiu and his gang made the soles of the shoes, have not come forward yet.
After all, he knew the situation of that group of people. It was very difficult for them to escape from the famine....
But why did he choose to come today? It was because he received news in the military camp that someone in the court had set their eyes on this business and wanted to buy out the recipe in the name of military supplies.
It was not yet time for him to take a break and return to Beijing, but he was in such a hurry because he wanted to find out the situation before that person took action.
Even if it is listed as military supplies, there are other ways. If Shen Zhiqiu can become a military supplies dealer himself, he doesn't have to hand over the prescription and can still keep his business.
Moreover, there are many advantages to becoming a military supplier. Although the price given by the court is definitely not as high as the sales price, at least no one will dare to make private plans in the future.
Well, if you, Fu Huaian, already knew about this, given your family's status, why didn't you stop it?
What reason could he have to stop it? The man made a petition to the court, with a legitimate reason: the soles of rubber shoes were strong and durable, and the anti-slip effect was good, and the price could be lowered.
Why would he stop something like this that could reduce military spending? What reason do he have to stop it?
Although the King of Yan trusted his family, it was also because his Fu family had always been dedicated to the country. If it was only because Shen Zhiqiu and the others had a little relationship with his family.
They said they came here to escape famine, so how could they just hand over the business that supports their families?
Then their Fu family is no longer the Fu family that serves the country and the people.
What's more, he himself believes that under such circumstances, everything should give way to the country.
Ever since the new King Yue in the south took over the territory of King Wu, he has been eyeing the northern border covetously.
It was just that because His Royal Highness Prince Yan was still alive, they had not taken any action yet, but His Royal Highness Prince Yan's health...
"drive,"
Thinking of this, Fu Huaian increased the speed of swinging the whip!
Achi behind him followed closely...
