Chapter 1526： The temptation of big fish and big meat

Seeing Marin smirking with a drinking cup made from his own public oil, Hans, the head of the pickled fish canning workshop, was so frightened that he almost urinated incontinence.

The conscience of heaven and earth ... Ab, the emperor can testify, he has never done anything corrupt. Not only is the bottle stopper defective, but even the glass bottle is also out of shape. Otherwise, he would not dare to use it as a drinking glass.

However, the cork stopper can be handed over to other units for processing and made into a smaller cork stopper. After all, the cork stoppers in the cannery are large, while the cork stoppers in the perfume factory are small. The defective cork stopper he intercepted was sent to the perfume factory, and several perfume bottle stoppers could be processed ...

Therefore, Hans was trembling nervously, fearing that Marin would punish him.

But in the end, Marin did not punish Hans. Instead, he was given a gold coin as a bounty. Because, he helped himself solve a big problem. Of course, Marin gave a verbal warning about his greed for corroded defective cork, which can be processed again-not an example ...

In addition to glass bottles, Marin also "designed" wooden boxes for canned fruits and bottled fruit juices. After all, the transportation of glass bottles is cumbersome and easily broken. Therefore, it is necessary to put the glass bottle in a wooden box and fix it in public. In this way, the glass bottles can be prevented from colliding with each other, causing breakage.

This design is relatively simple, and the fixed space line is designed according to the size of the glass bottle. Of course, during the packaging, some soft thatch will also be stuffed into the wooden box as a buffer to avoid collisions between the glass bottle and the wooden box to cause breakage. As for sponge foam, what kind of buffer? There is no such thing as industrial sponges and foam Marin, and they do n’t know how to make them. And natural sponge, that stuff is too expensive, it is too extravagant to bring a bottle cushion, or thatch is cheap ...

As for the cost of the wooden box? Marlin acts as an endless forest on the North American continent, wood is not a problem ...

However, the craftsman making wooden boxes is a big problem ...

The status of artisans in Beihai is very high. Even if it is a new artisan, the salary of a day is 3 Finney, which is 1.5 times that of ordinary people. The skilled craftsman has a minimum daily wage of four or five Finneys, which is twice that of ordinary people. A powerful craftsman, the daily wage can even reach as much as 1 shilling per day. Of course, people are decades of old craftsmanship.

If you use these craftsmen to make wooden boxes, the cost is really not small. But Marin suddenly remembered-it seems that he can go to Daming to get a craftsman ...

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were very hard pressed. Not only did their political status be extremely low, but their income was not guaranteed. In particular, the craftsmen who are listed in the craftsmanship work for the imperial court every year, and are often pulled by officials to do private work. The most annoying thing is that there is no money for officials to do private work ...

This is all right, usually those officials who manage the craftsmen of the craftsmanship also have their hands, and the wages of the craftsmen who are greedy for Mexico ...

According to the regulations of the Ming dynasty, the craftsman serving the imperial court belonged to labor, so the salary was very low, and it was good to give 20 or two silver a year.

Well, according to the European exchange rate, it is equivalent to 3 Finneys per day. It looks like it's pretty good, right?

But this is only an appearance, because the craftsmen of the craftsmanship have many officials ...

Do not deduct the wages of craftsmen, is that still my Ming Dynasty official? Counting on the salaries of dozens of silver a year for officials, how can this day be smart?

Therefore, the craftsmen were out of luck. Obviously, there are 20 or more annual salary, but after a few hands of the officials, the craftsmen can get 10 two silvers. The officials have a conscience ...

If you bring a group of Ming Ming craftsmen, the salary expenses can be greatly reduced!

Moreover, according to the feedback from the New York Shipyard, the batch of shipbuilding craftsmen from Daming was extremely satisfied with the current life ...

Can you be dissatisfied? Marin's salary for them is not high, only 3 Finney per day, which is the lowest level of artisan salary in Beihai.

However, this also got a lot more in Daming ...

In addition, the most important thing is that their daily life treatment is much better in the Ming Dynasty!

For example, Marin stipulates that all craftsmen in the shipyard can eat in the canteen of the factory, and their wives and children can also rub their meals.

This alone can save a lot of expenses for the whole family of craftsmen every year. Because in the Ming Dynasty, food expenses accounted for more than half of poor families.

Not only that, the food in the shipyard was also eaten much better by ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. First of all, because the New York colony has a lot of wheat, this side can eat white noodles. Generally, European artisans eat bread, while Daming artisans eat buns and noodles.

Although many artisans in the south who eat rice are not used to it, because they have enough steamed buns, they make them happy. Poor people, can you eat well, and dare to be picky?

And what makes Daming craftsmen happy and satisfying most is the open supply of fish meat from the shipyard canteen!

Because it is close to Newfoundland fishing grounds, it can supply enough salted fish all year round, and there is no problem to eat. As for meat? New York colonies often dispatched hunting teams to hunt wild deer, porcupines and turkeys in the forest. As one of the most important institutions in North America, shipyards are often given priority to supply meat ...

Therefore, the craftsmen of the shipyard are not talking nonsense when they have fish. Although meat is not available every day, fish can be eaten every day. This kind of life is not dare to think in Daming.

In ancient China, the poor rarely ate meat. Most of the people who can eat meat are dignitaries and landlords. Therefore, in ancient China, the dignitaries were also called "meat eaters". "Zuo Zhuan" has the saying "meat eater despise", the poet Sheng Fu also wrote the poem "Zhumen wine meat smelly". Therefore, in ancient China, eating meat is a characteristic of giants. As for the poor, they do n’t eat meat a few times a year. Therefore, the ancient Chinese civilians were short of oil and water. And the children are especially looking forward to the New Year. Because, during the Chinese New Year, even the poor people of Huaxia will grind their teeth and buy a few pounds of meat to improve their lives. Therefore, in ancient China, there was a saying that "Children look forward to the New Year, adults look forward to farming".

However, in the New York Shipyard, these craftsmen from Daming were simply stunned-Nima, the fish in the canteen of the factory was not expensive. The shipyard also supplies a lot of what the three fishes can usually put on the table and whale meat.

Whales are mammals, and the taste of meat is more similar to that of terrestrial animals. Artisans often eat whale meat, which is considered to be a greedy meat.

Also, because the nearby New York shipyard is a soybean producing area, soybean oil supply is very sufficient. Therefore, when cooking, the vegetables also put a lot of oil, which led to the lack of oil and water in the belly of the craftsmen of the shipyard, and even the amount of food fell.

What makes the craftsmen most happy is that the factory actually allows their wives and children to rub rice ...

Although there are restrictions on meat consumption ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but the families of the craftsmen in the factory, the supply of fish is usually sufficient. As for meat, family members who want to eat will have to spend extra money, but the cost is very low. After all, the wages of artisans are usually useless, and there is no pressure to buy some meat for children. It is also said that these Ming craftsmen have achieved a good life of "one person class, whole family fish meat" in the shipyard.

In such days, they dare not think about it before, and naturally they are very satisfied ...

...

In fact, Marin had never expected that a simple supply of fish meat would make Daming's craftsmen so happy.

Now, Marlin knows one thing through the eye liner installed in the shipyard-if you go to Daming to recruit craftsmen, there is nothing else to say, just say "the food is packed and the fish meat is enough" ", Guaranteed to attract a bunch of people ...

Of course, the premise is that you have to let those officials willing to let go. After all, they got rich by squeezing craftsmen ...

And can the supply of fish and meat be considered a matter in North America? As long as there are enough fishing boats in the Newfoundland fishing grounds, there is too much fish to eat and you can spit you up. As for meat, as long as a hunting team is sent, there is always a lot of game in the forest. With good luck, you can hunt bison and eat beef ...

The New World is cool, fish and meat are readily available, and resources are everywhere. Unlike the Ming dynasty that has been developed for thousands of years, there are farmland everywhere, and eating fish and meat all day is a life that only the rich can live ...

Marin intends to send a group of craftsmen back to Daming next time and show up to tell his colleagues who are still in Daming that their food in North America will attract more craftsmen.

With cheap Ming Dynasty craftsmen, Marin was not worried that the production of wooden boxes for packaging was not enough. Those Ming artisans were used by the officials, and they worked hard ...
