Chapter 200 Qin's Workshop
Qin Zimu came out of the house and started warming up when Zhou Erzhu also came in with a wooden sword.
Ever since Zhou Erzhu also became Song Shiqi's disciple, the two of them had agreed to come to Qin's house in the morning to practice swordplay.
Since they were already up, Qin Ruo simply moved a stool next to them to see how the two were practicing and gave them some guidance from time to time.
Once he got into the state, Qin Zimu completely forgot the uneasiness he had this morning, and he performed every sword move and every move very skillfully.
Although Zhou Erzhu is a latecomer, he is quite good at training.
Not long after, Old Lady Qin, Banxia, Qin Ziyan and others also got up one after another.
Banxia was cooking while Qin Ziyan went to the well to fetch water.
Old Mrs. Qin looked at it and felt like she couldn't help anywhere, so she simply went to the vegetable garden.
You should water the vegetables early. When the sun comes out, the water temperature will be high and the vegetables may be killed easily.
Qin Zimu was about to go to the academy, and Old Lady Qin had no plans to follow him to Taihe County.
Although if I go to Taihe County, someone will serve me three meals a day.
But if nothing is done, Old Mrs. Qin will feel anxious.
Although the crops in the fields have been planted, the work of weeding and fertilizing cannot be ignored.
Old Mrs. Qin's idea now is to save as much as possible. She has nothing to do anyway, so she might as well ask outsiders to do things she can do herself and waste money.
When Banxia finished making breakfast, Qin Zimu had just put away his sword.
After the family finished breakfast and rested for a while, the clansmen Qin Huaisheng arranged to go to the village to buy sacrificial offerings also returned.
The Qin family's ancestral hall has not been built yet, so today's ancestor worship is naturally chosen to be held at the Qin family.
When all the clan members were present, the elders of the Qin family presided over the ceremony of burning incense, toasting wine, and bowing.
Afterwards, there is a series of processes including burning paper money, placing offerings, praying and making wishes.
When Qin Ruo bowed to the tablet while holding incense and candles, she suddenly felt a complex feeling of belonging and responsibility.
That feeling came so suddenly.
By the time the series of processes were completed, two hours had passed.
Eunuch De, who came to announce the imperial edict yesterday, accompanied Lord Pan on a tour of the fields, then left Changhe Village with his men and returned to Taihe County.
Lord Pan came specially to inform Qin Ruo of this matter.
Originally, Lord Pan wanted to ask Qin Ruo about the rice hulling machine, wondering whether this technology could be promoted.
Qin Ruo seemed to have foreseen it and told Lord Pan in advance that the Qin family was planning to open a workshop in the village to make rice hulling machines.
This thing can bring some convenience to people's rice pounding, so I thought of producing it in my own workshop and then selling it to various places.
On the other hand, it can also provide an opportunity for nearby villagers to make money.
This coincides with Lord Pan's idea.
Lord Pan simply wants to benefit the people, just in a different way.
There are many ordinary people in Dasheng who support their families with a skill, and the skill is basically kept secret.
This rice hulling machine was invented by the Qin family, so there is nothing wrong with the Qin family doing this.
Since the goal is the same, it doesn't matter what the method is. Lord Pan will naturally be happy to see it happen.
After moving this thing back, he and County Magistrate Jiang and his group studied it for a long time. It was really easy to use, but the workmanship was also really complicated.
The process of making the finished product is complicated and it is difficult to make it unless you are an experienced carpenter.
After the issue of the rice huller was resolved, Lord Pan still told Tai Ruo that the birth of the rice huller was beneficial to the people.
The county government will give some bonuses to the two inventors, Qin Zimu and Qin Tiaotiao, including some to Old Man Zhou who participated in the production.
Qin Tiaotiao was a little disappointed when he heard that there was only a reward of silver, but when he thought that this thing would spread throughout Dasheng in the future and Qin Erlang would also gain fame, he couldn't help but feel happy again.
After Lord Pan left, Qin Ruo immediately asked Qin Erlang to go to Zhou's house to invite Old Man Zhou over, and called Qin Huaisheng who had not left yet, and told them about his plan to open a workshop.
When Old Man Zhou heard that a workshop was going to be opened in the village, he asked him to be responsible for the quality control and technology of the production process. The remuneration would be a monthly salary plus commission on sales.
Old Man Zhou was overjoyed because the Zhou family was building a new house and had a lot of room to spend money.
The furniture for Qin Ruo was almost finished, so naturally Father Zhou was willing to do the work in the workshop.
He made the rice huller according to the requirements of Qin Zimu, the son of Qin Tiaotiao. It took him several days to make it and he still has a deep impression on it.
As a carpenter who has worked for decades, Old Man Zhou naturally knew that it was a good thing, but he had never thought about making it himself and selling it.
The method was thought up by someone else, and Old Man Zhou never thought of claiming it for himself.
Qin Ruo wanted to open a shop in the village under the name of the Qin family, and Qin Huaisheng had no objection.
The three of them discussed the details of opening a workshop.
If you plan to open a workshop, you have to choose and recruit people.
A person's ability is always limited. If only Mr. Zhou were to do it, he would only be able to produce a few products in a month.
Each process requires sufficient manpower to improve efficiency.
Qin Ruo did not intend to get involved in trivial matters such as finding people, assessing suitable personnel, and searching for materials.
Everything is handed over to Old Man Zhou and Qin Huaisheng to handle, which is also a test of Qin Huaisheng's ability.
Because of the temporary opening of a workshop, Qin Ruo's trip had to be postponed again.
The next day, Qin Ruo took Qin Zimu back to Taihe County to meet with Zhang Shanchang.
After meeting Qin Zimu, a simple, humble and polite man, Zhang Shanchang had a great impression of him.
In addition, Qin Zimu's foundation was not bad, so he passed the test of Principal Zhang smoothly. Now Qin Zimu has become a student of Mingyue Academy.
About a week later, "Qin's Handicraft Workshop" was officially established amid the sound of firecrackers and cheers.
The first rice hulling machine made by Qin's workshop was unveiled, and Lord Pan was amazed.
Compared with Qin Tiaotiao's machine, this one is much bigger and the finished product is much more refined.
On the day when Qin's workshop was established, County Magistrate Jiang and Master Qian also came in person.
I was very excited when I saw the finished product. It was something made in the area under my jurisdiction. I couldn't escape the credit for this political achievement.
Changhe Village has been in the limelight recently, with its new grain experimental fields, the birth of a princess, and now a workshop.
People from nearby villages heard the news and came to watch the fun.
County Magistrate Jiang took advantage of this opportunity to publicize the origin of the rice hulling machine and personally demonstrated how to use it.
Finally, he did not forget to give rewards to Qin Zimu, Qin Tiaotiao and Old Man Zhou.
Qin's Handicraft Workshop received orders for more than a dozen machines on the first day. Since the price of this rice huller is not low, most of the orders were for several families to buy one together.
But furniture seeds have always been the biggest expense, which is not difficult to understand.
Although the order volume is not large, it is a good start.
Qin's workshop is now open, and it's time for Qin Ruo to set off.
Before leaving, Qin Ruo left one thousand taels of silver for Qin Huaisheng to use for all future expenses of the workshop.
Old Lady Qin accompanied Qin Ruo, Qin Tiao Tiao and their group two miles out of the village before stopping.
