But Lin Jiuniang ignored him and immediately called her female workers over. Then in order to verify her statement, she found a young daughter-in-law in the crowd who could not weave to join her.
Then he looked at Qian Anbang with a smile:
"If the Second Young Master is suspicious, this is the entrustment arranged by me, you can designate someone to do it.
Of course, if the Second Young Master wants to experience the fun of weaving in person, I won’t mind.”
Qian Anbang's face darkened and he said firmly, "No need.
It’s almost time, you’d better start quickly.”
Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows and said nothing. Instead, she took the female workers to one of the looms and showed them how to operate it herself.
After teaching them three times, they were asked to each choose a loom to weave.
When they saw Lin Jiuniang weaving, they all thought it was easy and simple. But when they weaved themselves, they didn't know whether it was because they were unskilled or nervous, and things started to go wrong.
"Ms. Lin, the thread is tangled, what should I do?"
"Ms. Lin, come quickly, come here, it's loose here."
…
Qian Anbang, who was sitting watching the show, couldn't help but laugh sarcastically when he saw Lin Jiuniang fussing around.
"Is this a loom that can weave one piece of cloth in one hour?
With this speed and error rate, even two hours would not be enough to weave a piece of cloth.
Lin Jiuniang, you are so awesome."
Manager Qian, who was originally worried, had to agree with Qian Anbang this time. In this state, it is impossible to weave decent cloth, let alone high yield.
Faced with Qian Anbang's ridicule, Lin Jiuniang didn't take it seriously.
On the contrary, Chunlan, the female worker she was teaching, was so angry that she almost died, "Ms. Lin, he looks down on people."
"So, you have to study hard and then hit him hard in the face," Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, "If you weave six pieces of cloth in five hours, wouldn't you be able to blow his face away?"
"good!"
"I fought hard!"
Chunlan was so angry that her teeth itched and she looked at the others, "Sisters, let's work hard and we must not let others underestimate the strength of our little wives in Anle Village."
"Okay, do it!"
Others shouted emotionally.
At this moment, Li Dazui and others shouted from the crowd of onlookers:
"Come on you guys, we support you. When you win, we will serve you delicious food and drinks."
"Chong, don't let people look down on us, the women of Anle Village."
"The women from Anle Village are the most powerful, let's do it!"
…
Perhaps because of the encouragement, Chunlan and others began to gradually become proficient, and the error rate began to decrease.
From being unskilled at the beginning, I gradually became proficient, and then gradually improved my speed.
Qian Anbang, who originally laughed at Lin Jiuniang and the others for not being able to produce a piece of cloth in an hour, shut up because they produced a piece of cloth in less than an hour.
Except for the first half hour when you are familiar with the machine, that is to say, as long as you can use this loom, you can weave two pieces of cloth in one hour, and there will be no problem at all.
At this moment, Qian Anbang's expression changed.
Qian Guanshi also had a similar expression. He calculated in his mind that at this speed, eleven looms could produce sixty bolts of cloth in five hours, which was no problem at all.
Qian Anbang could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked around on the spot, looking anxiously at the creaking loom in front of him.
From time to time he touched his chin and ears.
After a while, I sat down.
When he sat back down, he calmly began to drink tea, causing the money manager on the side to look at him with a strange look on his face.
Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows and said, "Second Young Master, you were performing a monkey dance for my female workers just now. Do you want them to slow down?"
Qian Anbang froze and sneered, "Just say so."
Seeing that this guy didn't refute, Lin Jiuniang felt a little uncomfortable and sighed:
"Second Young Master, if you don't mock me, I'm really not used to it. Why don't you mock me? After all, they are so slow, right?"
Qian Anbang's face darkened, this woman clearly did it on purpose.
Gritting her teeth, "Lin Jiuniang, I think you are just looking for trouble and looking for trouble, right?"
"Yes, you noticed it?" Lin Jiuniang looked surprised, "Second Young Master, you are really smart."
Qian Anbang was furious, this woman did it on purpose.
hateful!
He took a deep breath, looked at Manager Qian, said "You watch, I'll go eat" and left without even looking at Lin Jiuniang.
Lin Jiuniang gave Manager Qian a sympathetic look and said, "Your second young master is so arrogant."
Manager Qian said nothing.
Lin Jiuniang felt bored and sat aside to watch the weaving.
Naturally, she would not treat her female workers badly. As soon as it was time to eat, she would immediately have a sumptuous lunch delivered to her.
After eating, let them rest for a while and then continue working.
When Qian Anbang left, he appeared again at the beginning of the Youshi period, and at this time, there was already a pile of woven cloth piled aside.
Manager Qian on the side was already angry. When he saw Qian Anbang appearing, he immediately stepped forward:
"Second Young Master, forty-five pieces of cloth have been woven."
When he said this number, Butler Qian's voice was filled with trembling and panic.
Who could have imagined that Lin Jiuniang's weird loom could weave so fast that his heart was paralyzed.
Qian Anbang's expression changed, and then he calmed down, "Why are you panicking? Haven't you knitted enough yet?"
Seeing his calm look, Manager Qian was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Holding back her anger, she said, "Second Young Master, within two hours, they can definitely weave twenty pieces of cloth. By then the total will be sixty-five, and she will win."
Qian Anbang remained calm, "Don't worry, she can't win. Maybe her machines will break down one after another?"
Just as he finished speaking, Mu Juan stood up and said, "Ms. Lin, there is something wrong with my loom. Come and take a look."
Lin Jiuniang quickly walked over to check.
At the same time, two people started shouting that there was something wrong with the loom.
Suddenly, the scene became chaotic.
Qian Anbang on the side slightly raised his eyes and raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "Did you see that?"
"When it comes to money matters, don't mess up your position until the last moment. Stay calm. Accidents will always appear at critical moments."
Manager Qian looked at Li Qian Anbang in surprise. Could it be that any of these female workers were bribed by him?
Otherwise, why would the Second Young Master be so calm?
At this time, the sky had darkened slightly, and Lin Jiuniang asked people to light torches, lighting up the place as bright as daylight.
She looked at everyone and said, "There is less than an hour left. Please stick with it. In the last minute, if you all give it a try, if you win, I will give each of you a red envelope of one hundred taels!"
"good!"
Chunlan and others actively devoted themselves to weaving again. For no reason, just for the one hundred taels of bonus, they had to work hard even for this small amount.
Seeing the morale of these women rising again, Qian Anbang's face turned dark with anger.
Damn bitch, the best at fanning the flames and winning people's hearts.
Now that the morale of these female workers has improved, they are more motivated than before and move much faster. Damn it!
I couldn't help but said, "Don't bother, you are destined to lose. Three machines have been damaged at once, and there are still fifteen pieces of cloth left. With this little time left, there is no way you can complete it."
