Chapter 16: Compiling the Dustpan(1/2)
Charles first briefly processed the golden silk grass, and aligned the front ends of 20 golden silk grasses, tied them into a small tie, and tied them four or five in a row.
Then, take a small gold-grass, place it in the middle of another gold-grass, and tie it tightly with fabric.
The above steps were repeated, and two more golden silk grasses were tied up between the two tied together.
A total of four gold-sized grasses were tied together, and Charles tied them tightly with fabric on the head and middle ends of the four gold-sized grasses, so that a strong broom was formed.
A total of one-third of the time the candle burned, eighty golden silk grass and five black cloth were used.
Charles handed William the broom, "Sir Baron, this is the broom you want."
William took the broom and swept it on the ground in person. After feeling its strength, he gave it to Charles again, "I feel a little softer."
"Sir Baron, this is simple. As long as the amount of golden silk grass is increased, the hardness of the broom cleaning thing will increase." Charles replied.
He made more tied golden silk grasses, and then tied them together to make a bloated broom.
William tried this "fat" broom and felt that the strength was almost the same, so he nodded, although it was a little ugly.
"Charles, make a new broom according to the standards of this broom."
"Well, Lord Baron, I wonder how many brooms you want?" Charles said indifferently.
William estimated it and calculated it according to each household one, and then the loss was calculated. "Charles, let's make two hundred brooms first."
"Two hundred?" William's words scared his followers again.
"Master Baron, do you want to sell the broom to those villagers?" Charles couldn't help asking.
"Yes, my smart Charles!" William gave an admiring look.
"But, Lord Baron, those villagers would not spend a Poole copper coins to buy a useless broom! This is not the city of Sere!" Old John said directly.
"They will buy it, Old John, believe me!" William made a promise to them with confidence.
"Okay, hope so!" What else can Old John say?
"That Baron, I'll start making brooms now!" Charles didn't want to waste any time, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start working!
"Wait, Charles!" William stopped Charles' decisive behavior.
Charles looked at William in confusion.
"One person's speed is too slow, Charles! Tell me, two hundred brooms, when will you make it alone?" William said.
"If I don't sleep tonight, I'll probably finish it tonight. Well, it may take a little more time. Yes, it won't be more than tomorrow at the latest." Charles frowned and muttered.
"It's still too slow, Charles! I need to be a little faster. I need to see two hundred brooms before tonight!" William shook his head.
Charles showed a look of embarrassment on his face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sir Baron, I will do my best!"
"I don't want you to do your best, I will definitely do it!" William shook his head.
Charles's face was full of bitterness. He thought for a while and said helplessly, "Sir Baron, I can't do it alone!"
"Yes, Charles, you can't do it alone!" William nodded in agreement with his statement, "Have you ever thought that what one person can't do can be solved by a group of people?"
"Master Baron, what do you mean is to ask John and the others to help me make a broom?" As soon as Charles said, Old John and the others looked very good. Why did he become a broommaker as he said it?
"They have more important things, Charles, I can't do your request." William refused with a smile, kidding, there are only so many people under William who can use it, and they all make brooms. What's the matter? Don't William have to do it himself?
Charles showed disappointment on his face.
"Okay, Charles!" William patted Charles on the shoulder and said, "There are people in the village who can make brooms?"
"Baron, what do you mean?"
"I will ask Old John and others to recruit villagers in the village, and you are responsible for training them. Isn't this much faster? I will give the villagers three Poole copper coins every day, and for every twenty brooms you make, you can get one Poole copper coins. This is an additional reward." William said.
"Then I'll be fine, Lord Baron!" Charles said.
"Charles, I have something to ask you to make," William said.
"Sir Baron, you said, there is nothing that Charles cannot do." Charles is very proud now.
"Don't say it's too full, I want you to weave dustpans and baskets!" William said everything he wanted to make.
With a broom, how can you not have a garbage shovel or a trash can?
"Dust basket? Basket?" Charles was stunned for a moment. He understood the basket, but he couldn't understand what the dust basket was. "Master Baron, what is the dust basket?"
"Uh..." The dustpan is a kind of country in which William was in his previous life, with three sides, one side open, and a beam-loaded object to transport sand, soil, fertilizer, and manure.
But this world has not yet appeared, and William used the transliteration method, which made him unable to say anything, so he simply sat down, pulled the golden silk strips, and started weaving them for Charles to show.
The place where William was in his previous life was the famous bamboo product town nearby. Children there had to help their parents and elders prepare various bamboo products, such as baskets, baskets, straw hats, etc.
Growing up in this environment, William also learned the skills of kung woven bamboo products.
In my previous life, I used either willow or bamboo strips to make these utensils.
None of these Williams.
However, William found that the golden silk grass detected by the magic mirror is good in toughness and can also be used to weave dustpans.
The dustpan should first start from the bottom, place the branches into the character "ri", and then twist the holes.
After twisting the big hole, you need to circle the bottom, that is, bend the eight heads of the character "mi" to the left and right, reach an angle of 45°, and change it to 16 groups. Then use a strip to press one by one, weave 3 to 5 turns, and fix the grouped strips.
After the bottom of the circle, you need to wove the door, prepare the side of the door, and select any group divided by "Mi" and the vertical one as the center of the door.
In the center group, 4 consecutive strips are inserted into 6, and 1 continuous strip is inserted into 3 in the remaining 15 groups.
The six strips in the center of the door are divided into two groups, 3 on the top and 3 on the bottom, bend to the left and right respectively, and follow the principle of picking one and pressing one and pressing one and picking one, and put them into the strips of other groups.
The two groups on the left and right of the central group are also included in other group entries.
Then I started to build a gang, and after the gang, I had to throw the beam.
The third group on the left and the third group on both sides of the gate center group need to be thrown out the cross beam. The eighth group of left and right are also the eighth group of straight beams. These three groups of the beams continue to insert the insertion of the sticks on the go, and the roots are inserted into the gonna bends.
Finally, twist the edges and wrap the beams.
After wrapping the beam, a dustpan is woven into shape.
William was very good at making these things in his previous life. In this life, he broke through to the cavalier level and had higher physical fitness and faster making them.
Before a candle was burned, William had already made a dustpan and tried it, and the quality was pretty good.
"Charles, have you seen it clearly? Can you make it up?" William asked the carpenter Charles.
Charles was stunned for a moment, frowned, and thought for a while, and said, "Sir Baron, I'm not sure, but I can give it a try."
"Okay, you can try it!"
The knowledge you get from paper is always shallow, and you must practice it yourself to know it!
William also thinks it is better to try it.
As for the golden silk grass, there is no shortage of it.
How big is the entire Nisse village? The fact that Mark's family really exchanged gold silk grass for three Poole copper coins spread throughout the village at once.
The villagers in the village went crazy, and the whole family went on battle, pulling golden silk grass everywhere.
Several villagers even started fighting because of weed pulling, and after the fight, they continued to pull the golden silk grass.
From time to time, villagers came outside the earthen house and exchanged gold silk grass for Puer copper coins.
Old John and little John were busy outside, and even blacksmith Eddie was called out to maintain order.
The continuous stream of golden silk grass was sent into the house, and the continuous stream of Puer copper coins were also taken into the hands by the villagers of Nisse Village. The villagers corroded by money tried their best to find the golden silk grass again, and then more golden silk grass was transported to the earthen roof waiting for Old John's inventory...
It’s repeated cycles and continuous cycles, becoming a cycle!
In the room, William looked at the carpenter Charles who was scratching his head and scratching his head. He sighed in his heart, feeling that he was too anxious, and said, "Charles, I will make it up for you again. You can make it up while watching my movements!"
"Okay, Baron." Charles's face turned red, not tired, but anxious.
The older people are, the more worried they have no value to use. Because having value to use means that they are still useful and can continue to survive.
And this is what Charles is worried about at the moment, so he is anxious when he can't learn how to weave dustpans!
William made up a dustpan from scratch for Charles to show. This time, he slowed down his movements and guided Charles at any time.
After all, Charles is an old carpenter. With William's detailed advice, although he is still stumbling, he finally made a dustpan with his own hands.
Although the quality is average, it is a great encouragement to Charles.
With the first time, there will be the second time, the third time.
Without William's words, Charles himself was excited to weave dustpans.
Until noon when the sun rose in mid-air, Charles made up a total of three dustpans and thoroughly mastered the craft.
"Good done, Charles!" William praised.
"All this is your credit for Lord Baron!" Charles said humbly.
At this time, Old John and the others temporarily ended the acquisition of the golden silk grass. Each of them walked in with a large pile of golden silk grass in their hands and piled it in the corner.
The golden silk grass occupied half of the room.
"Sir Baron, I have suspended the acquisition! So far, we have paid a total of 387 Poole copper coins. Do you think these golden silk grass are enough?" Old John saw the dustpan made by Charles, and curiosity flashed across his face and asked William for advice.
