Chapter 349 Finally Out of Seclusion
After several days of seclusion, Shen Youyou also came out.
It wasn't that she imitated the steel rubber shoe mold from her previous life, but she had already felt that that thing was definitely a huge project that could not be done for the time being.
She changed her mind. Since she couldn't make one-piece shoes, she would make them sewn at the back.
In the past, some discarded plastic bags would be recycled. After cleaning and disinfection, the ends of the plastic bags would be cut off.
Overlap about ten neatly cut plastic bags and heat press them.
Ten pieces of plastic will be merged together. The originally very thin plastic bags will go through a heat press, where high temperature pressing will turn them into a thicker piece, similar to the thickness of leather.
Afterwards, these leather-like plastic sheets will be squeezed and cut into plastic sheets for various parts of the sneaker uppers by machines, and finally sewn together by machines. This is the upper part.
The sole part is made of a separate plastic sole, and then the sole and the upper are glued together with glue. Many big brands have made shoes in this way.
So what Shen Youyou most wanted Shen Tietou to make was a cube-shaped heat press similar to a pancake maker.
I just wanted to press out a piece of plastic cloth that was similar to leather, so that I could make the upper of the shoe. However, unlike many sports shoes in later generations that were made in white,
The plastic cloth that Shen Youyou makes will be made in other colors, after all, white is not worn much in this dynasty.
And we can't make sports shoes, so we just make the current shoes.
Since we have plastic, we can naturally have more plastic accessories, such as plastic beads of various colors, which can be sewn into different patterns. I believe this will be very popular among young ladies.
Shen Youyou came out of seclusion, and all the people of the nine clans were very happy. They had been busy these days, helping Tangjia Village harvest sweet potatoes and wheat.
A large part of the sweet potatoes in his own home were also made into sweet potato starch. During the meal, Shen Zhiqiu announced:
"Starting tomorrow, the strong laborers will start making shoe soles. The women will continue making sweet potato starch. We need to make all the sweet potatoes into starch first."
Shen Youyou also gathered the young ladies to make thermoplastic simulated flower jewelry.
Most people didn't know what kind of artificial flowers these were, and they didn't reveal it at first. But when they saw the few flowers made by Shen Youyou herself, everyone realized that Youyou had found a way to make money again.
Mrs. Hua also said: "My little granddaughter and I will try it first, and the other girls will learn to make it from us. If we can sell it,
We, the old sisters and granddaughters, will not get involved in making soles with you. You can arrange for someone to make meals later. As for the food we eat, we will pay for it when our group earns money."
For a while, there were all kinds of discussions. The news was announced during dinner time, which shocked many people.
Little Yang asked: "Mom, when will the decision be made?"
A bunch of old ladies also said at the same time: "Yeah, why didn't I hear you say that before? We are also going to be transferred to the plastic jewelry group?"
Many old ladies were still holding their bowls and asked anxiously.
Old Lady Hua sat on a small stool, swallowed the dry food in her mouth, and said calmly: "Didn't we say that we should try it first? We didn't think of informing you so early.
My little granddaughter said that instead of helping out in the cooking for the shoe sole group and earning two jobs, it would be better for her to work on her own.
Even if we don’t earn as much as they do, we’ll get less money. Besides, it’s not certain which one will make more money, jewelry or shoe soles.”
"Yes, that's right. I think the flowers made by Yoyo look just like the real ones. They will definitely please the nobleman."
Cui Fen'er was also very excited: "I think it's really possible. Maybe by then we can earn more than them."
Master Shen coughed twice and said, "What do you mean, you don't plan to cook anymore? Are you going to quit?"
Old Lady Hua shook her head: "It's still dry for now. We have to wait for Yoyo to make some before we buy some."
For Grandma Hua, how could she easily give up the job without seeing the sales situation? In fact, according to her idea, she just wanted to not tell anyone for the time being, but her little granddaughter needed the help of other girls to make jewelry, so it would be bad to hide it.
As there was still some time before going to bed, Shen Youyou called the young ladies to her home and made some physical plastics with the sweet potato starch she had made.
"Plastic flowers are made by first making plastic cloth, but in order to make different colors, we have to add different colored dyes into the liquid plastic."
As he spoke, he took out the dyes one by one and made plastic sheets of different colors: red, purple, yellow, green, blue, black, etc.
I have taught you sisters that red and white can be matched to produce pink, and purple and white can be matched to produce lotus root pink.
Yellow and red are orange and so on, a lot of plastic sheets were made in one night.
Fortunately, the plastic sheet was thin and cooled down quickly, and I had the help of my sisters, and there were many colors available. I originally wanted to teach everyone how to make it, but it was really late, so I told my sisters to go back home and find their mothers, and to take care of everything tomorrow morning when they woke up.
Shen Youyou and the others had left. She asked her mother to boil some water and went to the bathroom. There was nothing she could do as she hadn't had a good bath during the past two days of seclusion.
Shen Zhiqiu also laughed at Shen Youyou. He didn't say it to Shen Youyou, but to Shen Luming who hadn't seen his sister for several days:
"Son, stay away from your sister. Your sister has been in such bad shape lately that she is almost as bad as when we were fleeing from famine. Don't let her stink you up."
Shen Youyou didn't refute. She had no way to refute. She herself didn't smell very good either. Fortunately, her sisters didn't dislike her just now.
But when she took a shower, she really rubbed the mud off her body vigorously. She was very fair to begin with, and every time she rubbed, a red mark was left, but she acted as if she didn't feel any pain.
The main thing is that this kind of pain is not painful, and it even feels very comfortable, and I feel refreshed again.
"Mom, rub my back for me!"
Li Jingshu opened the door and came in: "Oh, you know to take a shower now. You were like crazy in the past few days. The weather is still quite hot and humid. How can you stay in the house?"
Shen Youyou closed her eyes and enjoyed her mother's back-rubbing service. She felt so comfortable that she almost hummed a song.
"When I was doing things, I really didn't feel the stuffiness, and I couldn't even smell the sweat on my body. My attention was not on that at all. By the way, mother, please help me change the bed sheet later. I guess there is a smell on it too."
Li Jingshu rolled his eyes, and now he knew to be clean. He really didn't know who this girl took after to have such a stubborn temper.
Shen Luming shouted from outside: "Sister, I'll bring you some new clothes. Put them on the small stool outside and let mother bring them in for you later."
Shen Youyou's cheerful voice came from the bathroom: "Thank you, brother, you are so good."
At the same time, in the room of Old Lady Hua, "Da Ya and Er Ya, you must follow your sister's instructions tomorrow, but you can't tell others about this skill casually. Even if you get married in the future, you can't give it to your husband's family.
For example, if you give this recipe to someone else, maybe your husband's family will be happy at first, but once they learn it, they will forget the benefit of the recipe after a while.
It would be better if you just keep the recipe in your own hands and make money by yourself. At worst, you can just hand over some money to your parents-in-law.
If they want you to make money every month, treat you well, and not cause you any trouble, then you should give them money. If they take the money and still make trouble, then you should cut off their income."
