Chapter 64 The Idea Is Very Clear
Fortunately, after a fall, the time for winter is not too long. The rabbits in the mountains are still fat, and their coat color should be good.
In winter, the sweater is worn inside, and the color doesn't need to be too particular, just keep warm. After Qixun sends off the aunt, he asks Brother Monkey to discuss: "Brother Dasheng, after the washing machine is ready, you can take me in first. Mountains? Let's come back from hunting a bunch of rabbits."
They have raised 70 or 80 rabbits in total. Although the rabbits are multiplying rapidly, there will be at least 200 or 300 rabbits by next spring, but isn't it urgent to use rabbit fur now?
It is easier to hunt from the mountains.
Compared to being idle at home, Brother Monkey certainly prefers to go into the mountains.
The feeling of traversing deep and wide in the mountains gave him a sense of freedom to return to himself. For him, hunting was secondary.
Anyway, taking care of a small search is not a problem for him at all.
"Okay, when will the washing machine be assembled and tested?"
All the parts have been built, Qixun said: "I will install it tomorrow. If it can be used, let's go directly to the mountain the day after tomorrow. This time, I will go with you."
Going into the mountains this time, catching rabbits is one aspect. Another more important thing is that she intends to enter the depths of the mountains and find a place suitable for firing glass. Although she is not working now, she must be prepared.
In addition, I have to find some raw materials for making glass, and I don't know if I can find suitable quartz, silica, feldspar and limestone in this mountain range. If I can find it, it will be very easy.
Qixun has checked the geological conditions here, and it is still possible to find some raw materials.
If it doesn't work, you can only ask Brother Monkey to go out with her to buy it, and then use Brother Monkey's space to quietly transport it into the mountains.
The next morning after class, Qixun pulled Brother Monkey and was busy assembling the washing machine. After it was installed, he took it to the well and tried it out. The effect was good, and there was no need to rework.
Mei Niang didn't even attend the small class for Lingzhou. She gathered around to see the strangeness. When she saw the washed clothes, Mei Niang smiled and said, "I can finally live more comfortably this winter."
Well water is warm in winter and cool in summer, but it's still freezing.
She felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to take over the laundry, but Lingsu was too sensible to let her mother-in-law touch her hands at all. In the morning when she was teaching Lingzhou, Lingsu washed all the clothes.
This simple version of the washing machine Qixun uses a foot pedal, which makes it easy to wash clothes.
Seeing that everyone likes it, Qi Xun is still a little dissatisfied: "Currently, this machine can only be washed, not dehydrated. When I have time, I will think about it and make a dehydrated version, so that even if it is cloudy and rainy, I will not be afraid of the clothes after washing. Don't do it."
Lingqi knew that the machine was going to be installed today, so he ran over after working in the morning, and when he saw the finished product, he was the happiest.
This is the starting point for his dream to come true.
"Xiao Xun, since it can be used, can I go to the uncle's house and ask them to help make it?"
Qixun smiled and said, "Of course I can go. But it's not completely good, and we have to apply another layer of anti-corrosion coating. Now it's too late to make anti-corrosion wood, so I'll use tung oil. After the anti-corrosion layer is made, the use of this machine The lifespan can be longer.”
Lingqi excitedly ran to Yan Yonghui's house.
As soon as Yan Yonghui heard about the function of this washing machine, he knew that this thing would definitely make money, and immediately brought his youngest son Lingfeng to Qixun's house.
When he saw something, he had to admit that Xiaoxun's niece had a clever mind. He, an old carpenter, had done carpentry work for so many years, and he never thought of doing this kind of thing.
But this was not what surprised him the most. What surprised him most was, who made this washing machine? Look at this carpentry work, it is not worse than the craftsmanship of his old master.
Brother Monkey can be proud now: "The drawings are designed by Xiaoxun, and the things are made by me."
The hall uncle smiled and praised: "It's good to have craftsmanship, no matter what time, the craftsman will not starve to death. If your father is not a learned scholar, I also hope that you will have a good future in your studies in the future.
Xiao Erlang, you can earn a family business as long as you are a carpenter. Compared with you, your cousin Lingfeng is far from you. After learning for so many years, although the craftsmanship is still perfect, I can't compare with his father. "
Lingfeng said on the side: "Hao brother is a scholar, and his brain is naturally much stronger than that of my son. But my son is not bad, Dad? At my age, carpentry is not much better than me. This apprentice is about the same age as me, but his craftsmanship is not as good as mine. The master said that I can become a teacher, so it is because you have high requirements, and you cannot let me take over the job, so you can only fight for you."
The uncle glared at him and hummed: "You can't compare with the good ones? What's the point of comparing with the inferior ones? Your brother Hao is four or five years younger than you."
He scratched his head by the "Scholar" Monkey: "Xiao Xun also praised Brother Lingfeng to me a few days ago, saying that he is good at his craftsmanship. If you are busy with your cousin, let Brother Lingqi find Brother Lingfeng to accompany him. What are you doing?"
Yan Yonghui was also delighted to see the hunter and wanted to try out a washing machine himself, so he laughed: "The day before yesterday, I just finished a batch of furniture ordered by others, and I have been idle these days. The business of this washing machine can be done, not only can it be done. If we do, we can make the booth bigger. Take the opportunity first, there will always be someone who can imitate it in the future, and then it may not be able to make much money. Of course, someday someone will ask for this stuff, handmade money You can still make money, and you can do a long-term business.”
Lingqi said: "Then don't go out for takeaways, let's stock up some finished products, and then sell them when the quantity is enough. When others come back to imitate them, we have already earned our first money back. And we have With this money, you can reduce your profits, and if you do more, the cost will be lower, and if others make a little trouble, the price will naturally be higher than ours, even if the price is reduced, as long as the amount is enough, the profit will not be bad.”
Qi Xun felt that she was right about her second cousin, a born businessman.
Look how clear this sales idea is.
Even Yan Yonghui nodded when he heard this: "You brat is silent. Your mind is spinning fast. It's a good idea, I think it can be done."
Lingqi rubbed his head and smiled shyly: "Uncle Hui, if you want to do it, it's fine. But this drawing is from Xiaoxun, do you think it's good? This business is a third-tier money for Xiaoxun, you and your two family members A cousin is in charge of the production, I will go to the county to rent a shop and be responsible for selling it, deducting 30% of the cost and Xiaoxun, and the remaining 70%, you are 40%, and I am 30%, okay?"
The hall uncle's family provided the craftsmanship and materials, and Lingqi rented out the shop's initial investment and sales. The hall uncle didn't have to worry about sales, and the allocation was reasonable.
After all, this business was also brought by Lingqi. To put it bluntly, it may not be impossible to hire a carpenter if they don't find his home, but the risk is higher.
As for Xiaoxun's 30%, the synagogue thinks that is also his share.
After all, this washing machine was taken out by someone else.
"Just do as you say."
