"What is a sewing machine?" Lamei looked at these parts and assembly diagrams, but still couldn't understand. Can this thing replace human labor? It doesn't require sewing stitch by stitch?
Wintersweet really can’t believe it.
"As long as you master the method and become proficient, it's absolutely fine." Haitang tried her best to explain the mechanical principles and working principles of the sewing machine to Lamei in words that Lamei could understand.
As the saying goes, there is no separation between physics and chemistry. Unexpectedly, these simple physical and mechanical knowledge also play a certain role in this era. At least it can improve labor productivity. This is the meaning of machinery. Haitang thought.
Wintersweet seems to understand but not understand.
"There are a lot of these scattered parts, and they need to be well-made. They cost at least ten taels of silver. Sister Haitang, you have to think about it. I want to have a few needle holes in my hand so that nothing can happen. What needlework girl can do it?"
It would be too strange if it doesn't have needle holes. This thing is really not cheap, otherwise, let's consider it..." Lamei also felt sorry for the less than one hundred taels of silver left in the dyeing shop.
"These investments can all be recovered. If you sew one piece of clothing by hand, you might be able to sew ten pieces with a sewing machine in the same amount of time. When the collection opens, we will sell more and earn more."
, won’t the cost come back?” Haitang comforted Wintersweet.
Lamei had no choice but to agree.
Then, Haitang asked Er Tong to go to the blacksmith shop where the bicycle was made last time to type out these things according to the drawings. Using wood as the surface, the Er Tong could complete the work.
The iron shop's workmanship is relatively fine, the labor charges are reasonable, and it can fully comply with the customer's requirements.
Er Tong has been missing the dragon these days, no one knows what he is busy with, and it is easy to catch him once.
My mother-in-law is still nagging me all day long, you are "uncertain", if you have the ability, you can bring me a daughter-in-law.
Watching Brother Lamei keep going on blind dates, and the girls coming and going, there are all kinds of girls, can the two sisters not be anxious?
But every time I asked Er Tong to find a matchmaker for a blind date, Er Tong was not happy and didn't say anything. He just bowed his head and ate.
The old lady was helpless, how could everyone in the Tian family be as stubborn as a donkey? Datong was like this, Haitang was like this, Tian Niu was like this, and now, Ertong, who was originally an honest and friendly person, was like this too!
It will take a few days to create these parts, and Wintersweet uses this time to dye the cloth together with Begonia.
Everyone in the dyeing workshop is very busy, preparing for the big gathering before the year.
"Sister Haitang, you know so many things, can you teach me some folk songs sung by the lover and the lover?" Lamei said sheepishly.
"Sister Lamei, you're feeling itchy just thinking about getting married..." Wanwan heard this and came over.
"I hate it, you..."
"I don't hate it, you must have got what I said..." Wanwan doesn't know how to sing love songs to Zilu.
"Lamei, do you like Mr. Dongfang very much?" Haitang asked.
"Well, we are in love. He said he would marry me and stay with me for the rest of his life. He would only be good to me. What else can I say? Even the seas and rocks will rot, and the vicissitudes of life will not change the heart..." Lamei is as happy as a found bird.
Homecoming bird.
"But don't worry, Sister Haitang, even if I am with my Mr. Dongfang, I will not leave the dyeing workshop. This is my real home..." Lamei said.
Mr. Dongfang, Haitang had only met him briefly, but she didn't expect that Lamei would actually be sincerely interested in him. For someone who likes to make vows so much, Haitang could only ask Lamei to observe him more and pay attention to whether he was sincere.
