I do research in ancient times

Many people who went to Jiuling Lake with Ning Fei this time are elites in the carpentry class.

The blacksmith workshop has already begun to study the method of making standard weapons. All the staff opened the furnace, and the smell in the workshop began to gradually move.

Some time ago, the civil engineering team followed the army to build border checkpoints. The last group of people had just returned to the fort and were recuperating, so the carpentry team became the main force.

The original intention of Ning Fei to lead people was just to record and measure the hydrology and topography of Jiuling Lake. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly got a group of mechanical engineers to prepare, and he was very satisfied.

He determined the direction of future development, and went back to the castle to arrange for everyone to study the principle and transmission of the water turbine, and planned to wait for the system to be electrified in the spring of the next year, and then give the unlucky Smart Smart a surprise.

It's just that the water turbine hasn't produced any results yet, but the cotton press and weaving machine are freshly released!

This was a big surprise, and Ning Zazi didn't expect it at all. When he saw Granny Qiu and Pinghua walking into the front hall with a roll of cotton cloth, Ning saw the potato pancakes in his hands in fright.

"This...this is..."

"This is cotton cloth. Pinghua and I tried many times, and we finally managed to weave such a roll!"

Granny Qiu's face was flushed with a smile, and the lines around her eyes were much lighter, as if she was ten years younger.

Ning Fei took the cloth and looked at it again and again, the warp and weft threads were not particularly dense, there were not many but the tentacles were soft, and it already looked like cotton cloth.

He originally thought that the success of the textile machine might take some time. After all, cotton is a new thing for Mo Zong. It will take time to figure out its properties and texture, let alone design suitable textile tools according to the characteristics of cotton. !

"How could it be so fast?!"

Ning Zazi rarely lost his composure.

Obviously before he went to Jiuling Lake, Granny Qiu and the carpenter class were still arguing over the big slingshot or the small slingshot. It has only been a few days, and the cloth has been woven? !

In particular, this modification team was temporarily assembled after Ning Sawzi took away the elites of the carpentry class.Because he was going to Jiuling Lake to investigate the water conservancy, Ning Fei took away the skilled craftsmen who had cooperated with Granny Qiu, leaving only a few apprentices who had just started, and the oldest was a young man named Liu Tong. In his early twenties, he speaks little in daily life, and has no sense of presence in the carpentry class.

But although Liu Tong doesn't like to talk, he is a good seed for research.Not only is he good at thinking and asking questions, but he also often gets to the bottom of the problem, and he is very determined not to give up until he understands it.

So, an old lady with many years of textile experience, together with Mo Zong's first pig craftsman, and a fledgling but passionate research madman, such a trio unexpectedly collided with sparks and produced an extraordinary explosive reaction .

In less than a week, Mozong successfully spun the first piece of cotton cloth in history.Granny Qiu even dyed it and sent it to Juzi.

Ning Zazi: Awesome.

"Thanks to Liu Tong," Granny Qiu patted the young man's arm.

"This is a good boy! Listen to us two women rambling, be patient and don't talk, and check with us carefully if you don't understand. After staying up for several nights, we finally made what we wanted !"

Grandma Qiu smiled and nodded.

"Well, looking at it this way, it's not bad at all what I want."

Ning Fei turned her head and saw Liu Tong smiling shyly and rubbing his hands a little embarrassedly.

"Should be."

"I'm stupid, unlike other senior brothers who can understand at all."

The young man was very nervous when he spoke in front of Juzi for the first time.Originally not considered eloquent, this time there is a tendency to stutter.

"It's... the first time to work independently, and I... have no idea. I... I run more frequently, it's better than going back to work if I don't do it right."

"Oh, that's right!"

Grandma Qiu laughed.

"You are so much more likable than those old stubborn old antiques!"

She turned her head to look at Ning Fei again, her words were very earnest.

"Jizi, let me tell you that this loom can weave cloth, thanks to Liu Tong and Pinghua."

"My old lady is old and useless, so I can only give them some pointers. The loom can be shaped, it is the two of them who pondered bit by bit, digging out bit by bit, but it is not easy!"

"Oh," Ning Fei raised his eyebrows: "Sister Pinghua is also responsible for this?"

"Of course!"

Grandma Qiu clapped her hands.

"Pinghua has made great efforts!"

"Pinghua, this girl is really ingenious. Although she is usually silent, she has a flexible mind!"

Grandma Qiu pulled Pinghua to her.

"I'm old, and I can't keep up with this idea. I can't get out of the old way. But Pinghua is different. She has weaved cloth before, and she can use a loom. She can find problems as soon as she gets started. The three-spindle treadmill used for spinning hemp was changed into a cotton cart, which can spin three cotton yarns at the same time, and the roller used for the cotton gin last time was also thought of by her, but it’s a pity that she is a daughter, otherwise she will definitely have a success!"

Speaking of this, Granny Qiu also showed a trace of regret.

Ning Fei was shocked by what she said.

Three-spindle spinning wheel? !

In his world, this thing was invented by the famous weaver Huang Daopo at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty!It is thousands of years later than Mozong's current technical timeline!

Of course, there is credit for the system to reward cotton.But regardless of this factor, it can be said that it is a miracle that the young couple in front of them can quickly build a three-spindle spinning wheel!

Ning Zazi suddenly felt a little panicked.

He is very skeptical now, is it a mistake to let Sister Pinghua go to the pig?

Sister Pinghua is now concentrating on raising pigs and raising pigs. She only wants to make money for herself and earn a house by eliminating the troubles of the pigs. She is addicted to manual work and cannot extricate herself!Maybe, maybe, with a high probability... He delayed a female technical talent?

If you mess around like this, will you be fined by the system...

"Do not."

The terrified Jizi smiled reluctantly, eager to make up for it after a disaster.

"There's nothing wrong with my daughter's body. It's made out of a loom like a daughter's body. This is the first piece of cotton cloth!"

"Cotton has a wide range of uses. It can not only keep out the cold, but also develop a variety of textiles. Its appearance is bound to change the times!"

"Grandma Qiu, Sister Pinghua and Liu Tong, the looms you made are very powerful. If you can achieve large-scale production in the future and open a special weaving workshop, it will be a credit that will go down in history!"

"Really?"

Hearing what he said, the eyes of the three of them lit up.

"We want to open a weaving workshop, use a loom to weave cloth, and then sell it all?!"

Ping Hua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"of course."

Ning Saw nodded.

In the future, the planning of Jiuling Lake also has a water conservancy weaving workshop, but at that time he did not expect that the cotton loom had already been born.

But this is the result of the technology-driven era, and silk and linen are destined to be replaced by cheap and warm cotton cloth.

The boy stroked the cotton with his fingers,

"The cloth is well-proportioned and soft. Would you like it if you bought the cloth yourself?"

"That's natural!"

Granny Qiu looked proud.

"Cotton is the most suitable thing for spinning and weaving that I have ever seen. The pile is long and resilient, and the woven fabric is soft and sweat-absorbent. It is most suitable for making underwear."

"If we can weave the cloth more densely, it can also be used as a robe. Look at the moment..."

As Grandma Qiu spoke, she even opened a small cloth scroll in her hand.

"This is what Pinghua and I tried to do. Changing the warp and weft can weave different patterns, and we even dyed it."

"If you dye the cotton yarn in advance and mix different threads together, you can weave colorful patterns!"

"Jizi, please wait for a few more days. We will modify this loom and weave colorful patterned cloth for you to try!"

The sect has no secrets, the story of Pinghua Liu Tong and Granny Qiu making the loom spread throughout Wubao the next day.

At first everyone thought they heard it wrong, because Liu Tong was really inconspicuous in the carpentry class, and no one usually paid attention to him.

But after this battle, Liu Tong has become a celebrity in front of Juzi, and he has to go to Juzi's small courtyard to report from time to time. It is said that Juzi even asked him to study the blueprint of the loom pushed by water.

In short, Liu Tong became popular in the sect, and the most worried person became Zhang Erzhu,

Zhang Erzhu likes Pinghua, and everyone in Mozong knows this, but even if Zhang Erzhu goes to work in the pig farm on a regular basis every day, Pinghua has never seen Pinghua show him a smiley face.

This girl with a birthmark on her face has always maintained a lukewarm attitude, and she has not relaxed in the slightest because of Zhang Erzhu's gallantry.

On the contrary, after joining the cotton group, Pinghua and Liu Tong quickly became acquainted.

Because the loom needs to be modified, the two of them can often be seen together for research. Pinghua will also pull Liu Tong to send the loom to try out during the pig raising interval, and then give Liu Tong feedback on the trial experience and improvement suggestions.With a common topic, Pinghua talked more, and the little lady who had always been expressionless, now also frowned slightly at Liu Tong.

Zhang Erzhu looked anxious.

He had never put Liu Tong in his eyes as a weak chicken before. After all, Liu Tong's carpentry class itself was not as good as his civil engineering team, and Liu Tong's status in the carpentry class was not as good as his Zhang Erzhu.

In terms of name, ability, and stature, he won everything!But he doesn't know how to make textile machines, he can't make such delicate and complicated things, and he can't understand what the shuttle and flywheel that Pinghua is talking about are?

He once asked the senior in the carpentry class, and the other party couldn't explain why, only that those things were for women's households, how could any gentleman study this thing!

However, there was a gentleman who went to study it!

Liu Tong not only researched it, but also successfully made it, and was rewarded for it!

Yesterday, Jizi and the three elders agreed to reward the three-person team who made the loom, each with a separate house!

As soon as the news came out, the entire sect was fired!

O separate room!At present, Mozong only lives in a separate house with Jizi!

Of course, the bonus house is different from Jizi’s suite. In fact, it is a single room with a separate door, and the difference from the subdivided flats that everyone usually lives in is not particularly obvious.

But this is a status, an honor!

How long did Pinghua, a little lady, come to Mozong? !That's how you get yourself a house!It can be seen how much Jizi valued the thing they made!

Everyone was tongue-tied, and each went back to the workshop to search and search, all wanting to find some research and research that they are good at, to see if they can also make something new and get a house.

Only in this way, Zhang Erzhu's pressure was even greater.

He has no unilateralism, and still lives in a subdivided room with his senior brother. If he wants to start a family, he has to move back to the old house.

But now, the woman he likes has earned a house by himself, and the little weak chicken who robbed him also has a house. He feels very hurt, depressed, and devastated.

But no one cares about Zhang Erzhu's mood. Today is the first time that the loom that can change houses is shown.

Besides them, there are also Mo Zong's aunt and little ladies.

Seeing the intricate wooden flying shuttles entangled with each other, the pure white cotton being spun into cotton yarn, woven into cotton thread, and finally turned into tight white cloth, the women's eyes widened in surprise.

They know how to weave better than men, and they know that it is a good thing when they look at the cloth.

Soft, firm and flexible.

Both eyes were fixed on Pinghua's movements, thinking secretly in his heart, wishing he could go up and have a try.

"Grandma, is this cotton cloth? This cloth is so fine!"

said a young girl.

"No, it was woven from your seedless cotton."

Grandma Qiu said with a smile.

"The machine was researched by Pinghua and Liu Tong. Have you seen it? You can weave it by yourself when you have the hands and feet coordinated, and even faster if you get familiar with it."

Having said that, Grandma Qiu sighed lightly.

"Oh, my old lady is getting old, and she can't keep up with her hands and eyes. If I had such a machine when I was young, I would be able to bring up the children, and I wouldn't have to give Xiaoliu to someone else."

Her words made many women present bow their heads.

In troubled times, it is not easy to raise a child, let alone a woman raising a child by herself, there are always times when she can't take care of it.

If there is such a loom, even if they work day and night, at least they can earn a subsidy for the family, and the children can eat and wear warm.

Thinking of this, the hearts of all the aunts and ladies became more and more uncomfortable.

A young widow tugged at Granny Qiu's sleeve.

"Then we... can we have such a loom in the future?"

"I can," Qiu Granny thought for a while, and couldn't help repeating what Rijizi said that day.

"Jizi said that we will also open a weaving workshop in the future. Everyone will grow cotton, harvest cotton, weave, how much money is paid for the work done, and work at regular intervals every day."

"That's great!" The eldest lady laughed,

"The weaving workshop of Zongmen has opened, can I introduce my sister from my mother's family to work together?"

She paused, her voice lowered, apparently recalling some bad memories.

"Our mother left early, and my stepmother couldn't tolerate us. I was married to an old man in exchange for a bride price, and when I left home, my sister was just as tall as a millstone."

"It's not easy for her to live at home. Why don't you come out and earn a living by yourself! She is skillful and hardworking, she can do whatever she is asked to do, I can guarantee it!"

"Okay, if there is such a day, I will ask Juzi for your sister, there is probably something to look forward to."

Grandma Qiu is also looking forward to that future.

As she said, sooner or later they will sell this white cotton cloth into the customs, so that everyone can use their own hands to give themselves a chance to settle down!
