Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

"Wait a moment~"

As she spoke, Shen Ping stood up, went back to her room and took out a bag of springs and a few design drawings, and handed them to Carpenter Li.

"Take a look. This is the new product I want to develop. It's called a mattress. It's elastic when it's finished. It feels soft when you put it on the bed to sleep." Shen Ping pointed at the drawing and demonstrated to him.

He pointed at the bag of springs and said, "These are the accessories we need. There are springs and side strips inside. The general structure is shown here."

Listening to Shen Ping's words, Carpenter Li felt dizzy. This new product that Grandmother was going to make was too exciting!

There was actually such a thing as a mattress, and it was soft enough that one could lie down on it to sleep. However, when he picked up the spring and pressed it, he realized that it was actually elastic.

Shen Ping explained the principle to him in detail, demonstrated the installation to him, and told him the approximate size and number of springs and side strips needed.

In addition, Shen Ping prepared the material for the outer edging and used sponge material, but this required the use of a sewing machine.

Shen Ping asked him to arrange two workers to go to the garment workshop to learn how to use sewing machines, and she would have someone deliver two sewing machines over there when the time comes.

In addition, Shen Ping pointed to another drawing and asked him to make a bed according to the style on the drawing, because such a bed was a match for the mattress.

Later, Shen Ping planned to design a four-piece suit and have the garment factory produce it in batches.

If there was anything he didn't understand, Carpenter Li would raise his questions and Shen Ping would answer them one by one.

After all, Carpenter Li was a furniture maker, so after Shen Ping’s explanation, he immediately understood.

The first thing he had to do was to use springs and side strips to make a bed net according to the size, cover it with sponge, then use a sewing machine to sew the edges and put the frame in.

"Well, I understand!" Carpenter Li nodded seriously: "Give me some time."

"Okay, when you finish making this board, let me take a look at it first." Shen Ping reminded.

"Mrs. Dachun, I'll go back first." Carpenter Li said as he bowed and walked out with a smile.

Now he has not only received a large order from the Prince's Palace, but Dachunniang has also developed this new product.

He could imagine what a sensation this mattress would cause once it was launched on the market.

After Carpenter Li returned, he immediately arranged for all the workers to go to the palace to measure the dimensions. In addition, he also arranged for his daughter-in-law Xiu Gu and two workers to go to Chengyifang to learn sewing techniques.

As for himself, he started to study how to make a bed net.

Carpenter Li has a habit that if he wants to make something, he must do it quickly.

Ever since he got Shen Ping's design drawings and springs, he didn't want to stop for even a minute. His hard work paid off, and on the third day, he finally made a bed net that was 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters long.

My daughter-in-law Xiu Gu also learned sewing skills, and Shen Ping sent the sewing machine over, as well as the sponge and fabric.

In addition, Dachunniang also had someone deliver a bed board. This was not an ordinary wooden board. According to her, it was called a palm board, which was installed on one side of the bed net, which was the front of the mattress.

As for the fabric, Shen Ping also drew a blueprint and asked them to cut it according to the blueprint and then sew the edges.

It took the couple five days to complete the mattress and bed frame. When they put the mattress on the bed and looked at the finished product, they cried with joy.

Xiu Gu tried to sit on it and said in surprise: "Boss, this mattress is soft and really comfortable, much better than a wooden bed.

Carpenter Li invited Shen Ping over and showed her the finished bed and mattress.

Shen Ping didn't expect that Carpenter Li was so fast, much faster than she had imagined.

I thought it would take at least half a month for Carpenter Li to figure it out, but he only spent 5 days to make the bed and mattress.

"Mother Dachun, try sitting on it." Xiu Gu said with joy, "I just tried it, it's soft and elastic, and it's definitely comfortable to sleep on."

Shen Ping raised the corners of her mouth. She knew it very well. She used to sleep on a mattress every day, but now she has to sleep on a hard bed here every day, which makes her back and waist sore.

But Shen Ping still pretended to be serious. She sat on it and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, not bad."

"Okay, the prince's mansion will make such beds and mattresses and send them to him when the time comes. Make one that's 1.8 meters long and a few that are 1.5 meters long." Shen Ping planned to make the first batch for the prince's mansion first.

When Erya gives birth to a baby, sleeping in this bed will be much more comfortable.

Shen Ping also reminded that the mattress made for the prince's mansion should have double springs, as double springs are hard and will not collapse easily.

Moreover, when the baby is born, it will not be good for him to sleep on a mattress that is too soft. A double spring will be more practical.

"Okay, I understand." Carpenter Li nodded.

……

It is now mid-August, and during this period, Dadong has begun to mobilize people to start picking cotton.

The people in the village didn't know what this thing was at first. But when the cotton bolls began to burst and white cotton flowers hung on the branches, they immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

They had never seen anything like this before. When they learned that this thing could be used to make quilts and cotton-padded clothes, they were stunned with surprise.

Many people came forward to watch, pinching the cotton with their hands, and some even boldly plucked a few flowers.

What surprised everyone was that this thing was extremely soft. You can imagine how warm a quilt made of this cotton would be.

At that time, Dadong also gave some seeds to some villagers, but no one had ever grown this thing or seen it before, so they all thought it was unreliable.

So everyone used the land to grow grain, peppers and other crops and didn't want to clear out a piece of land to grow cotton. Now they regret it when they see the cotton grown by Dadong.

If I had known earlier, I would have planted it, but I don’t know if the seeds can survive until next year.

Dadong reported the matter to Shen Ping and expressed his concerns that someone might take the risk and steal the cotton.

Shen Ping laughed: "You don't have to worry about this. My son-in-law is at home now. They have seen so many guards. Even if they want to steal, they dare not."

What Shen Ping said was indeed right. Everyone saw those dozens of majestic guards. Who would dare to take the risk?

Because the cotton does not grow all at once, the bolls will not burst before the right time, so people have to be sent out to pick them every day.

Shen Ping found a warehouse to store the cotton she picked, intending to make it into quilts or cotton clothes. She originally wanted to donate this first batch of cotton to the court, but she hasn't thought about it yet.

After all, the Minister of Agriculture has also taken away the cotton seeds and planted a lot of them. The most that can happen is that there will be no harvest this year and it will have to be delayed until next year.

Many people came to ask Shen Ping for this year's cotton seeds. Shen Ping agreed and said that she would give them to the village chief to distribute to everyone. Everyone thanked her and left with peace of mind.
