The female workers’ eyes lit up as they asked Auntie Yang, “The glass factory only charges us one tael of silver?’
Auntie Yang said solemnly, “The glass factory also needs to earn their profits. As for the price, it will definitely not be too high. Everyone, work hard and you will definitely be able to afford it!”
The female workers looked disappointed. If it was a glass jar priced at more than a tael of silver, they would feel that it was a little expensive.
However, on second thought, glass that was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver was not as beautiful and exquisite as glass jars. They felt that it was worth it even if they had to spend a tael of silver.
Time was running out, so Auntie Yang urged again, “Alright, let’s get to work!”
“If we can sell these canned food for a good price, we can even get an increase in monthly salary in the future!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately perked up and listened to Auntie Yang’s instructions to work in an orderly manner.
…..
The first batch of canned crab sauce appeared in front of Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong picked it up and sized up it. Apart from the words “Southern Frontier Seafood Factory” and the production date on the top of the bottle, the packaging was really basic.
Fortunately, the art design department established by Qin Xiao had already completed the crab sauce label overnight under Bai Wutong’s instructions.
The crab sauce label introduced the taste and ingredients of the crab sauce in detail. It was especially exquisite with a lively crab design.
Fortunately, there was the printing technology. Qin Xiao designed the packaging label. When the printing department received the task, they immediately started carving and quickly printed this batch of labels. At the same time, they applied a waterproof film.
Bai Wutong personally attached the waterproof paper label, and the entire can of crab sauce immediately became classy.
Bai Wutong looked at it and was very satisfied.
They did not have much domestic demand now, and the citizens who had just arrived did not have the money to buy crab sauce. If they accumulated a batch of goods, they could transport them to the Central Plains to sell.
With the glass canning production line, many seafood, such as kelp, seaweed, and local fruits, could be made into canned food.
With the canned food, the navy soldiers who went to the deep sea for half a month or a month would not have to fear that there would be no fresh food.
The production was in full swing. Due to the appearance of bicycles and various factories, the people who originally insisted on wearing long robes also accepted the long clothes and pants, which was acceptable than the bold outfits of locals at the Southern Frontier.
Not only was it convenient to wear, it was also convenient to work in. One’s entire body felt lighter.
Bai Wutong advocated for everyone to actively improve their lives and expand their inventions. Not only would there be an admirable Flying Sky Award, but there would also be an award that ordinary people could attain.
As an ordinary canvas textile worker, Lin Siyu had also thought of modifying it because of the complicated operation of the textile machine.
Before she was exiled to the southern frontier, she was a female manager of a wealthy family.
She had been exposed to textile and embroidery skills for nearly 20 years.
After being exiled to the southern frontier, she thought that she would be assigned to soldiers, but she did not expect Sheng Huaixuan to buy her. Because of her outstanding embroidery skills, she was arranged to work in the textile factory.
Lin Siyu was very grateful and hoped that one day, she would be able to redeem her husband and children with her own abilities.
Bai Wutong’s efforts to promote the development of various industries immediately gave her hope.
She wanted to create a more convenient textile machine. She did not hope for the patent recognition and dividends. She only hoped that Bai Wutong could regain their freedom and be like the others, able to have a house and the right to receive good land.
As Lin Siyu worked hard, she kept imagining things in her mind based on her understanding of the textile machine.
Finally, one day, she found the carpenter’s workshop and proposed her ideas to them.
As she did not have the blueprint, the carpenters did not know what she wanted to make. Lin Siyu was rebuffed and could only beg the carpenters to let her see a blueprint so that she could go back and draw.
The carpenters were all very busy and did not take it to heart at all. When Lin Siyu was ignored, Zhao Sheng walked in and saw her standing there pitifully. He asked, “What are you doing here?” She was not a worker in their woodworking factory.
Before Lin Siyu could answer, the carpenters joked about Lin Siyu wanting to make a textile machine.
Their tone was filled with disdain and contempt. Lin Siyu clenched her fists and looked dejected.
Just as she thought that there was no hope, Zhao Sheng suddenly said, ‘Tell me what the machine you want to build looks like. I’ll help you draw the blueprint.”
As soon as he said that, the other carpenters widened their eyes and said,
“She’s talking nonsense. It’ll waste your time.”
Zhao Sheng looked back at them in an imposing manner. The carpenters collectively fell silent.
Lin Siyu followed Zhao Sheng to the design room and thanked him profusely. Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said in a business-like manner, “You don’t have to thank me. Tell me your request.”
Lin Siyu hurriedly poured out her idea.
Zhao Sheng was surprised by her creativity. After repeatedly confirming and discussing with Lin Siyu, he finally built the prototype of the weaving machine.
Zhao Sheng had built many famous paper production machines, spray machines, printing machines, instant noodles drying machine, and compressors for Bai Wutong…
Lin Siyu’s idea of a weaving machine appeared on the blueprint. She immediately cried tears of joy. ‘That’s right, that’s it!”
It was exactly as she had imagined.
After confirming the blueprint, Zhao Sheng nodded and said, “I’ll get someone to speed up the production for you now. If the efficiency of the textile machine can be increased, the Consort will definitely reward you.”
After all, Lin Siyu was a servant. Zhao Sheng did not know if she could apply for a patent, but based on Bai Wutong’s emphasis on machine improvements, Lin Siyu would definitely be rewarded.
Lin Siyu wiped her tears and thanked Zhao Sheng excitedly. Her gaze landed on the carbon paper and pen on Zhao Sheng’s table and she couldn’t help but ask, “Manager Zhao, the pen and paper are really useful. Where did you buy them?”
Not only did she have the idea of modifying the textile machine, but she also wanted to design a machine that was convenient for cutting and sewing.
Zhao Sheng’s blueprint opened the door to a new world. She really wanted to have the same items as Zhao Sheng.
The carbon paper and pen were no longer worth mentioning to the current Zhao Sheng. He generously took out a brand new book and a carbon pen from the drawer and gave it to Lin Siyu. “Take it and use it!”
Lin Siyu hurriedly refused. “No, no. Factory Manager Zhao has helped me so much. How can I accept it?”
Zhao Sheng said, “We’re short-handed now, and the production of stationery factory is very low. You can’t buy it anywhere, so take it and use it. If there’s anything you want to modify, draw it and look for Zhang Jing.’
Lin Siyu was extremely touched. “Thank you, Factory Manager Zhao!” When she received her monthly salary, she would definitely go to the stationery factory to buy carbon pens and return them to Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng still had many things to do. After explaining Lin Siyu’s matter, he went to the iron-making factory and fiddled with machinery that could turn wood shavings into flooring.
After a week of construction, Lin Siyu’s spindleless textile machine was finally completed.
Just as he was waiting for Lin Siyu to come and collect the goods, Su Jing’s wife, Jin Linglong, arrived.
Previously, she was a female worker in the embroidery workshop. When she came to the southern frontier, she also entered the textile factory to work.
When she came in, she immediately saw the spindleless textile machine. After carefully examining it a few times, she immediately discovered the amazing use of the spindleless textile machine..
