Chapter 61 I Wish One Day

As soon as he heard how advanced the spinning wheel and loom were compared to the current textile machines, he judged the deep value of the textile machine made by Qixun. He knew that this thing was not something that a young man like him could hold in his hands right now.

So I didn't even think about it.

He is self-aware, capable of self-control, has a practical spirit, and is as wise as a fool. Qixun feels that no matter what he does, his second cousin should be a person who can ultimately succeed.

Qixun stood on tiptoe, stretched out his arm and patted Lingqi's shoulder with a solemn look on his face: "Brother Lingqi, you will definitely become a very successful businessman in the future."

I was actually seriously encouraged by the little girl?

Lingqi couldn't laugh or cry.

"A businessman is not a status worth boasting about."

Qixun strongly disagreed with this statement: "Agriculture, industry and commerce are the pillars of the country. There is no distinction between high and low. We are all good people, and even in the court, there is no clear law to distinguish between high and low. Brother Lingqi, since you are determined to do business,

There is no need to look down upon oneself. In the final analysis, no one is nobler than anyone else, it is just a matter of social division of labor. With 360 professions, one can be number one in any profession. No matter which profession a person reaches the top, it is enough to make others

The existence of admiration. I hope that one day, people in Daxia will only admire and admire Linjiang Yan Lingqi. Then I can proudly say, ah, Linjiang Yan Lingqi, he is my brother."

Lingqi's blood boiled when he heard it.

Generations of the Yan family have been passing on farming and reading, and the elders expect them to make achievements in reading, but he prefers to do business. For a long time, Lingqi has been ashamed of this, feeling that he has failed to live up to the expectations of his elders, so

I never dared to say it out loud.

Recently, his family started a tofu business, so he dared to express a little bit about his desire to do business in the future.

Of course, he did not dare to tell the elders directly. He only revealed a little to his eldest brother Lingzhou quietly, and expressed in front of the elders that he hoped to open a small shop in the town. Fortunately, the elders only said that it was not yet time to open a shop.

At that time, he did not directly object. This gave him hope.

After listening to Xiao Xun's words today, he strengthened his belief.

He believes that he can do a good job, even if he can't guarantee that he can become the top businessman and a being that people look up to. No, he has never had such ambitions, but he will definitely achieve his goals in a down-to-earth manner.

. Even if Xiao Xun cannot be proud of his cousin in the future, he hopes that he can at least live up to his own efforts.

He was very touched by the encouragement and support from his sister Xiaoxun, who was even willing to hand over the business to him.

Although the washing machine was not there yet, he had secretly made up his mind to make money for Xiaoxun. If he could succeed, he would cover Xiaoxun's sister's dowry in the future.

Qixun had no idea that her second cousin was already thinking about her dowry. After encouraging her cousin, she quickly took her fourth aunt to her workshop separated from Brother Monkey's bedroom to adjust the spinning wheel.

If you can debug it, you can spin rabbit fur.

This unlucky day is getting colder and colder. If you wear a sweater under your cotton-padded clothes, at least you will suffer less when you go out, right?

Qixun really had a good enough time in which he basically relied on shivering for warmth.

Her family is pretty good. At least they have silk-cotton jackets to wear when going out, and silk-cotton quilts to cover themselves when they burn the kang at night. However, most of the families in the village can only rely on cattails and kapok straw, which have extremely poor warmth retention properties.

stuff for the winter.

If Yanjia Village was not located at the foot of a mountain, there was no shortage of firewood, and many families had accumulated some leather over the years, people would probably freeze to death in the winter.

As far as she knows, in many places old people and children freeze to death every year.

Qixun really hopes that his space can be opened as soon as possible. If nothing else, it would be nice if some seeds of agricultural plants, especially cotton seeds, could be taken out.

By then she will definitely vigorously promote cotton cultivation.

Not only can this save the lives of many poor people in winter, cotton is also a military material and has many uses.

The fourth aunt, Si, is good at spinning. After Qixun introduced the use of the spinning wheel, she took the spun yarn that had been prepared and started to work.

At first, she was not familiar with how to use the spinning wheel, but she gradually became comfortable with it, and the speed became faster and faster. If she felt uncomfortable, she immediately mentioned it to Qixun. Qixun wrote it down one by one, thinking about how to improve it.

.

Mr. Si quickly finished spinning a roll of finished product and stopped and said: "This spinning wheel is indeed very good. The spinning speed is about four or five times that of the spinning wheel I am used to. If I usually use such a spinning wheel, I will only spin the yarn in this year."

There is a lot of profit from spinning. If your loom is as efficient as a spinning wheel, then I, a woman, can earn an extra ten or twenty taels of silver for my family a year. Not only is it faster, but the threads spun are also

, it’s obviously better, and the yarn didn’t break at all during the process. Xiaoxun, the construction of your spinning wheel is really important.”

Qixun smiled and said: "Fourth Aunt will try the loom again. I will debug it according to Fourth Aunt's suggestion. After it is completed, Fourth Aunt will try it again. If she thinks there is no problem, let the cousins ​​move these two looms back.

It’s for my fourth aunt.”

Mrs. Si hurriedly waved her hands: "This can't be done. Not to mention the loom, the price of an ordinary spinning wheel is not low. I bought mine with my dowry money when I got married. It cost more than ten taels of silver.

.Your spinning wheel is worth at least thirty or forty taels. Even if we are a family, my aunt cannot take advantage of you in vain. Besides, Xiaoxun, I haven’t tried the loom yet, so I can’t say, but this spinning wheel.

.... You can’t let anyone know about it easily. If you ask me, I have to wait until your father comes back before making any further calculations.”

Qixun smiled and said: "I didn't plan to let it go easily. But I can still give it to my aunt. Just don't let people see this spinning wheel for the time being. No one in my family is using it. You can carry this spinning wheel back and use it as your original spinning wheel."

If not, just sell it. I won’t give it to you for nothing. Although the spinning wheel is mainly made of wood, and the wood is free of charge, some parts are made of iron parts, which cost a few taels of silver. You can use the money from selling the old car.

Just pay me the cost of the iron parts."

Of course Mrs. Si wanted this spinning wheel. Her second sister-in-law, Mrs. Gongyu, couldn't use it, and her little nieces didn't learn to spin. If she didn't want it, the spinning wheel would be in vain. After thinking about it, Mrs. Si said: "That's it.

, Fourth Aunt is taking advantage of you, can you exchange thirty taels of silver for this spinning wheel to me?"

The iron parts Qixun cost several taels of silver, and the wood was all of the best quality and was worth several taels. Excluding her labor cost, the actual cost was less than ten taels of silver. Thirty taels was definitely a profit. But if you press

According to the market calculation, thirty taels of silver is really a bargain.

Qixun smiled and agreed, but also put forward a condition: "I originally made this spinning wheel to spin rabbit wool, but no one in my family can spin good thread, so I have to ask my fourth aunt to help me with this."

Mrs. Si breathed a sigh of relief and apologized, feeling that she had taken advantage of her little niece. (Thank you very much to the walking tea tree, Shishi, who is not idle at all, Yanhai Nahuan, Yu Qishui, Ni Ni, Yi Hua and others.

Thank you for the reward. I am also very grateful to the friends who catch bugs. I have corrected them one by one. I have been posting the archives before, so I couldn't thank you all for your support in time. I ran out of archives today and went back to the city to post them last night.
