Chapter 410 Visiting the Workshop
Fu Huaian nodded and stood in front of a young man from the Nine Tribes who was carving a mold: "What is this?"
What is being carved now is a mold for making shoe soles, with the pattern in the middle having "Five Blessings Coming" written on it.
Wang Fuxi explained: "This is a mold. We use it to make the soles of shoes. The transparent white plastic soles have a layer made of this mold in the middle."
Shoe soles with words on them are very popular now, because the patterns on the shoes are the same words, and the fonts are also reversed, so the shoe prints are the words written in the correct direction.
Not only scholars and men of letters like it, but many ordinary people also like it.
Some men of letters have even taken to collecting shoe soles with different fonts. For example, they would wear shoes that match the season or the party they are attending, which is considered elegant.
It has to be said that even Fu Huaian thinks that Shen Zhiqiu and his team really know how to do business!
Grandpa Shen's eyes were full of pride: "Let's do this this year first, and when we can start construction next year, we will continue to build a workshop, no, a workshop.
By then, General, if you come to visit us again, at least it won't be as shabby as it is now."
Fu Huai'an saw the light in the old man's eyes and nodded: "Okay!"
He believed what these people said, that next year it would definitely not be so simple. They were developing too fast. You know, those who had fled with them,
Many people still rely on "work-for-relief" to support their families.
In fact, what he didn't know was that these workshops of the Nine Clans were previously hidden, and even Tang Wenzheng had never been in to see them.
Those who came to purchase goods could not even enter the Jiuzu's yard. The boys carried the goods down the slope to load them onto the trucks and counted them for the other party, which was kept secret.
I wish no one would know what is in their yard.
This time when Fu Huaian came to visit, Master Shen and the nine clans really hoped that this young general who helped them become good citizens would come in and take a look.
During this time, Shen Zhiqiu didn't say much, just kept watching, watching everyone get so excited that they didn't know what to do, watching everyone want to give their hearts to Fu Huaian.
He knew it in his heart,
Everyone was filled with gratitude towards Fu Huaian, the benefactor of their nine clans!
In the Jiuzu Canteen, a group of women had stopped working long ago. They rested when they knew Fu Huai'an was coming.
First, he went to the village to buy chickens and ducks, and then asked a few boys to go fishing.
Vegetables and other things are also bought from the village.
Li Jingshu was thinking about the available ingredients and writing the menu.
Steamed duck with pumpkin, cut the round pumpkins on top and take out the pumpkin pulp to make the inside hollow.
Then put the marinated duck meat pieces into the pumpkin and steam it in a steamer.
Braised carp, cumin chicken nuggets.
I heard that the grandfather wants everyone to make dumplings.
All right, wash the cabbage and start chopping the stuffing. The boys went to the pig farmer's house and happened to catch them slaughtering pigs today.
Before delivering the goods to the city, I bought a slaughtered one.
There are minced meat, cut ribs, and you can also add braised ribs.
How many dishes?
Old Lady Hua and the others also came back. They were called back by the boys when they went out to sell pork. Only then did they realize that the extremely handsome buyer was actually General Fu.
They had no time to teach how to make hairpins, so they could only let the village head's wife and the others watch the girls try to make them first.
Old Mrs. Wang was planning to knead two kinds of flour, one made of fine flour and one made of whole grains.
Old Lady Hua grabbed the hand that was scooping noodles and said, "What are you doing? You are kneading fine noodles."
Old Lady Wang smacked her lips and asked, "How much flour do I need?"
Mrs. Hua said, "We have to use some fine noodles. The fine noodles we bought before should be enough for everyone to eat this meal. If you make two kinds of noodles, the general will notice it when we eat. He is kind-hearted and may feel burdened by the food.
So, on the surface, we have to make people think that what we eat is the same as what others eat.
If you really don't want to, you can work on the stuffing, put more meat in the stuffing for them, and put more vegetables in the stuffing for us."
Old Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then we'll just eat the thin noodles."
They are going all out today. They are just eating dumplings made of fine flour. It's not like they are only eating it for one meal and won't be able to afford the next one. They still have income every day, so what are they afraid of!
Twenty or so women started to use plastic basins to knead dough. Shen Douzi's wife spoke up: "Our plastic basins are the best for kneading dough. When we use wooden basins to knead dough, there is always some stuck in the gaps. Every time I finish kneading the dough, in order to avoid waste,
It takes a lot of effort to knead the dough, and the clay bowl tends to stick to the dough. The plastic bowl is different. The dough is easy to clean and the bowl is spotless every time you finish kneading the dough."
Shen Fugui's wife also echoed: "Yes, I feel that we can make anything with plastic. The water cup we made is also useful and beautiful. My son Sanmao didn't like to brush his teeth before, but since he changed the cup, he has been brushing his teeth more diligently."
The group of women were talking about their homes and the daily necessities made of plastic, just by chance.
Mr. Shen and his men also brought Fu Huaian out of the workshop where daily necessities were made. No one was working there because the daily necessities were not sold to the public but only used at home.
The nine tribes, that is, the young boys, make some for backup when they are not making paper.
Father Shen closed the door of the workshop and smiled: "General Fu, when you leave later, I'll bring you some of the plastic basins, plastic buckets, water cups, etc. that we made."
Fu Huaian smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
This made Old Man Shen and other old men extremely happy. In the eyes of the old men, General Fu was able to do this, not shirking his responsibility at all, and not despising what they did, which meant that he treated them as his own people.
But when Ah Chi, who had just returned from buying pork with the boys, was a little surprised.
The young master actually wanted to accept it. This was the first time he took something back from someone else's home.
You have to know that in the past, when the Duke's Mansion accepted gifts, they were all people who had a sense of reciprocity, and they would not accept valuable things.
When he visited other people's homes, he never brought anything back. Even when he returned home from the barracks, the general was recognized by the people.
The common people were grateful for the protection provided by the Fu family and offered the young master chickens, ducks, fish and other things, but he politely refused them all. When he really couldn't refuse, he would secretly leave silver.
"And, Master, look at those basins, buckets, and cups. We two rode here today, and you said, how are we going to take them back?"
You know, their young master is too lazy to bring any change of clothes when he travels.
Outside the hairpin workshop, Fu Huai'an did not go in because it was full of young girls.
At this time, Mrs. Hua, who had just walked over here from the cafeteria, ran a few steps quickly and wiped her hands nervously with her apron: "Young General, do the ladies like the hairpins that were sent to the mansion before?"
Fu Huai'an nodded: "Mother said these hairpins are delicate and beautiful, she likes them very much."
Regardless of whether this was true or not, it was enough to make Mrs. Hua excited. She said, "We have new products. I will bring some back for you as a gift to your wife."
