Luo Jianjia had been immersed in his thoughts, paying no attention to when someone stood beside him until the person spoke.
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Wei asked coldly, "Lady."
Luo Jianjia looked at Chu Weileng who was close at hand, paused for a moment, and said, "It's nothing."
Hearing this answer, Chu Weileng was a little disappointed.
His wife, always distanced him.
Since he went home last year, he found that she was different from before.
At that time, the disgust in her eyes was clearly revealed in her speech and behavior.
He doesn't seem to dislike him much now, but he is still indifferent to him.
I don’t know what went wrong.
What should he do to make the lady change her attitude.
Even though the thoughts in his heart were mixed, Chu Wei never showed half of it on his cold face. He glanced at her and said faintly: "Oh."
After that, he put away his thoughts and joined the team of making bamboo sticks.
Since Chu Wei Leng came, Luo Jianjia and Zhao went home to cook.
Just finished the meal, Chu Wei Leng and Boss Chu also returned.
During the meal, Chu Weilen asked a question: "Will the bamboo sticks be made too slow? Should I hire more people to do it?"
Luo Jianjia didn't expect Chu Weilian to discover the problem so quickly, and looked up at him.
"It's not very slow, right? Your father and Uncle Yuan can make two or three hundred roots a day. Aunt Li and you are responsible for polishing. It's very fast. Now I have almost a thousand roots." Zhao said.
Chu Wei said coldly: "On that day, four or five of us used more than 100 bamboo sticks. Brother Wang used forty or fifty sticks alone. If it is an ordinary person, it is about ten sticks. If we can have 30 sticks a day. There are three hundred people, and when the store opens, everyone has to do other things. It is impossible to do so many in a day, it is too late."
Boss Chu and Zhao looked at each other, but they didn't speak for a while.
Chu Wei coldly glanced at Luo Jianjia and said, "Also, the lady's craftsmanship is so good, I am afraid that there will be more than 300 roots a day."
Chu Wei thought coldly, he thought about it, Luo Jianjia couldn't possibly have thought of it.
Boss Chu and Zhao didn't think so much before. At this moment, after their son reminded them, they suddenly realized that they were too slow to do so.
But they have spent a lot of time to do it, and they can't go anywhere anytime soon.
"In this way, you still have to hire a few more talents." Zhao said.
Both Chu Weiling and Boss Chu nodded.
At this time, just listen to Luo Jianjia said: "Perhaps, we can make a machine instead of people to make bamboo sticks, so there is no need to hire more people."
"machine?"
Hearing this unfamiliar word, the three of you all looked at Luo Jianjia.
Luo Jianjia pursed her lips and explained: "I mean, make something, such as a loom, to make bamboo sticks."
They have seen the loom, it is very complicated, it is a weird thing, it is very magical.
Moreover, they have grown up so old that they have never seen a few such things. They are just making bamboo sticks, can they also be machines?
"What do you do?" Zhao asked.
Boss Chu also had a puzzled look on his face.
Chu Wei Leng was lost in thought.
If you can really do something like that, it will save a lot of effort.
However, that thing is too complicated.
Looms don’t know that things that have been made after generations of hard work are not something that people like them can make.
Luo Jianjia once caught a glimpse of that kind of machine on the Internet before, but she didn't know how to do it.
However, in the past two days, she has also seen Boss Chu and the others make bamboo sticks. She had done it herself when she hosted Wang Qingjue before, and she had some ideas.
"Bamboo skewers are made first by dividing the bamboo into pieces, then layering it, and finally cutting into bamboo sticks one by one, and polishing the thorns on it. If it is divided into pieces, is it possible? Make some iron pieces, piece by piece, and the bamboo will be automatically separated when you put it on top... Make some small iron pieces, and cut the separated bamboo sticks again... There is also the process of grinding later to make several gears. Or something else, all-round polishing, this will save a lot of trouble." Luo Jianjia put forward some of his views.
She said, making gestures with her hands.
Although it can't be made into a fully automated one for later generations, it can be semi-automatic. After the machine is made, it can be shaken manually.
Chu Weilian looked at Luo Jianjia with complicated eyes.
I just made bamboo sticks.
Although what Luo Jianjia said was not very clear, Chu Wei cooled down and understood what she meant. It was nothing more than two points, dividing the bamboo into strips and polishing them.
To his amazement, Luo Jianjia could think of so much, and could think of a solution.
How many surprises can she bring him?
When Luo Jianjia finished speaking, Chu Weileng also joined the discussion.
In the meantime, Boss Chu also joined in and put forward his own views.
Several people discussed for a long time, and the more they thought about it, the more they realized that this method was feasible, so they decided to go to the blacksmith's shop tomorrow to make some simple parts first to see if it worked.
This thing is not an overly complicated machine, it's just that people have never thought that machines can be used instead of humans before, so they didn't think about it. Now that I have this idea, I start to think about it, and it's fast.
On the second day, everyone went to the blacksmith's shop to ask questions and experiment.
After three or five days, the simplified version of the bamboo stick machine was finally made.
After it was made, it was a lot easier than before.
One person puts the cut bamboo tube, and one person shakes the machine. Soon the bamboo tube is cut into equal parts.
Then, the cut small bamboo boards were placed in another place and cut again to become bamboo sticks.
Finally, the angular bamboo sticks are polished at the gears and become smooth, with a pointed bamboo stick.
Looking at the bamboo sticks that were made one by one, everyone was very happy. The look at Luo Jianjia was not the same as before.
As soon as Chu Wei Leng came back from the barracks, he heard cheers in the courtyard.
He knows that his father and mother are not talkative, and his wife is not talkative.
Uncle Yuan and Aunt Li were also silent.
On weekdays, I can hardly hear the voices of people in the yard.
Today is different from before.
Upon hearing this cheering voice and thinking of what everyone had been doing recently, Chu Wei Leng guessed it, and his pace was a little faster than before.
The Zhao family was the first to find out that his son was here. He raised the bamboo stick in his hand and said to his son: "Brother Leng, come and see, the bamboo stick has been made successfully."
From a distance, looking at the bamboo stick in his mother's hand, a smile appeared on Chu Wei Leng's face.
Luo Jianjia looked back when Chu Wei was coming cold, and when she turned her head, the smile on her face had not fallen.
Seeing that Chu Wei was cold, he handed the bamboo stick to him.
Boss Chu and several people continue to try to do the next one.
"It's done?" Chu Wei Leng took the bamboo stick and asked again.
"Well, it's done." Luo Jianjia said softly, "Although it can't be used directly, it saves a lot of effort than before. Just a little polish."
Chu Wei Leng looked at the bamboo stick in his hand, looked at the soft smile on Luo Jianjia's face, and whispered: "Miss, you are awesome!"
Listening to the noisy sound of cutting bamboo in his ears, and looking at the handsome face close at hand in front of him, Luo Jianjia felt his ears suddenly become hot and his smile stagnated for a few minutes, just staring at Chu Wei Leng in a daze.
Chu Weicooled that she was so silly and cute that she could not help but raised her hand and rubbed her hair.
The moment Chu Wei coldly touched her hair, Luo Jianjia felt that not only her smile stopped, but her heartbeat also stopped.
