Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

People in the county have never seen the clothes designed by Qiao Jiwei, and the designs are also good-looking, so these clothes are very popular in the county.

Some shops in the county saw the popularity of the clothes in the county and felt that it was profitable, and began to imitate Qiao Jiwei's clothes in large quantities. They probably didn't have any concept of copyright.But most of the clothes made are mediocre, far inferior to the style of clothes designed by Qiao Jiwei.

Shopkeeper Guo sold a batch of clothes and made a small profit.He thought it would be too troublesome to share dividends with Qiao Jiwei every time, so he packed a batch of clothes into several big bags and sent someone to deliver the clothes to Qian's house overnight.

When the goods were delivered, those people did not charge the cost price, and said: "Our shopkeeper said that the clothes cannot be sold, so I will give them to you as a gift."

The shopkeeper Guo meant to ask Qiao Jiwei to sell these clothes in the surrounding villages or townships, so as to get some money, which was equivalent to the price he had to pay to Qiao Jiwei in the first place.The shopkeeper Guo is responsible for expanding the business and selling clothes to other places in the county.

Qiao Jiwei thought about it carefully, and felt that Guo's distribution was indeed a great benefit to his family, and it also saved a lot of trouble in the middle.

In the past few days, the temperature has become warmer again. In order to adapt to these changes, Qiao Jiwei designed new clothes to adapt to the seasonal changes, so Mother Qian took over the job of selling these clothes.

Before selling the clothes, Qiao Jiwei specially told her: Keep the prices of these clothes consistent with those in the county, and don't deliberately raise or lower the prices.If shopkeeper Guo heard that the prices of the clothes were different, of course he would not attack him face to face, but he might also have a grudge in his heart.

Mother Qian sometimes set up a stall at the entrance of the village, telling everyone that she made these clothes herself, and showing these simple designs to the women in the village one by one, and did not stop until those women praised her.

There are not many pedestrians passing by, so the sales of this clothes are not very good.On sunny days, Mother Qian begged the fish and tofu family in the village to take her to the village so that she could sell these clothes at a stall in the village.People in the village saw that the clothes that were popular in the county were sold here, and some people were worried about going a long way, so they bought clothes at Qianmu's stall, but some people turned a blind eye to the popular clothes in front of them. It's a bit stupid to go to the county town to buy clothes without looking far away.

Therefore, the last time I went to the village, the batch of clothes sent by shopkeeper Guo was almost sold out.This is actually not a worry, as long as Qiao Jiwei says a few words, the second batch of clothes will be shipped.

Those who make wine taste the sweetness, and then make wine again.

A wine worker came to Qian's house and saw Qiao Jiwei drawing pictures on the table.Qiao Jiwei noticed that someone was coming, raised his head and found that it was an acquaintance, and welcomed him, "Sit."

The man didn't like to go round and round, so he said directly, "We still want to make wine."

Qiao Jiwei pondered for a while, thinking that making more sorghum wine would also ensure the supply of the sorghum wine.So he said briskly, "Okay."

But when these people were working, Qiao Jiwei was no longer there to guide them, and it was completely "stocking state".After all, Qiao Jiwei still has to design new clothes, and these people have roughly mastered the steps after several wine making, so there is no need to teach them by hand like last year.

In the end, the sorghum wine was produced, and Qiao Jiwei gave them some more copper coins than usual. After all, Qiao Jiwei did not supervise the production of the wine now, and it was all up to them to explore by themselves.Based on this alone, these people should be paid a little more.

But Qiao Jiwei secretly decided that this is the last time to make wine this year. If more wine is produced and sold, some people will become addicted to drinking.People often make trouble when they get drunk, and if the trouble is not noticed by the government, and a prohibition order is issued, Qiao Jiwei really hit the gun.

After steaming sorghum wine again, Qiao Jiwei also added more than a dozen clothes designs on the map.He brought these patterns in front of Mother Qian, and said, "Ma'am, I have designed a few more sets of clothes these days, I think I need you to help weave them."

Mother Qian took the pattern from Qiao Jiwei's hand, and pressed the paper against her thigh with her hand. "There's no water at home, you go pick some loads."

Qiao Jiwei heard the words, went to the yard and looked at the urn, and indeed there was not a drop of water.Previously, it was Xiang'er's family or the hired wine worker who carried water for Qiao Jiwei. Now that these two groups have left, the water that the wine worker picked two days ago has been drunk, and it is naturally Qiao Jiwei's turn to carry water. Do.

He took a wooden barrel and walked out of the yard.Mother Qian happened to see Qiao Jiwei walking out with only a wooden bucket, and shouted at him: "How do you mend the pole? You carry buckets of water, when will this urn be filled?"

Qiao Jiwei turned his head and said truthfully: "I don't know how to carry water with a pole. When I lift these two buckets of water, my shoulder hurts and I can't lift it." His eyes became a little helpless during the words.

Mother Qian waved her hand, "Forget it, you can lift it like this. When I was young, my shoulders were not pressed, and now I can't lift them no matter how hard I try."

It was late March at this time, the peach blossoms on the trees had withered, the wild flowers on both sides of the road had also become sparse, and the weeds were growing vigorously.Sure enough, the flowers don't last long in spring.Before he knew it, Qian Dayong had been away for more than a month.

Qiao Jiwei leaned on this bucket, and drove back and forth between the well in the village and his home, back and forth five or six times, the water in the tank was not filled, and Qiao Jiwei's hands became a little sore over time. In the eyes, but because she is a girl, she is born with little strength, but she can't help much.I can only be anxious and feel sorry for my young master.

Qiao Jiwei was walking on the road in the village with an empty bucket, thinking that half of the water would be used for drinking cattle, washing vegetables and cooking rice. Even if the jar was filled with clean water, the water would be used up after three days, and he would have to carry it back and forth. Water is really too much trouble.

That being the case, it is better to think of a solution once and for all.How is this a one-and-done method?Drilling a well in the yard is naturally the best.

Qiao Jiwei filled the tank with water, rested for a while, and then prepared a plan to dig a well in the yard.

This well was easy to drill, but Qiao Jiwei had to think about what kind of well to drill.

In ancient times, ordinary people usually did not dig wells in their own yards unless it was a high-end courtyard.Drilling a well consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.Some people walk in the yard at night, and there are no light bulbs at this time, so walking by the deep well in the yard is always frightening.If you accidentally fall, you will lose your life. This is probably the reason why ordinary people don't dig wells in their yards.

How to dig a well in the yard without causing people to fall is a problem that Qiao Jiwei must consider.Solving this point is equivalent to solving the most difficult problem in the well drilling process.

If the water can be pumped up, then Qiao Jiwei's ideal well will come out, and it can prevent people from falling.

However, this does require a lot of physical principles. Qiao Jiwei thought hard for a long time, and then put it on the picture to draw, and roughly thought of what kind of well should be drilled.

The picture Qiao Jiwei drew is essentially a kill pump plus a well below, two pistons are placed at the two places of the pump, and a fulcrum is made outside.If it is pressed down, the air inside will be pumped out, and the water will be pumped up naturally.

However, although the principle is simple, if it is really necessary to build this machine, Qiao Jiwei alone will not be able to do it.In desperation, Qiao Jiwei had no choice but to find a blacksmith surnamed Zhu and ask him to make the pump according to the instructions in the picture.

In the past few days, Zhu Tiejiang discussed with Qiao Jiwei many matters concerning the production of the well killing pump.The first is the raw material. Qiao Jiwei suggested using iron.In fact, aluminum is the best for making water pumps, and it is not easy to rust. But at this time, aluminum is really difficult to smelt, so it has not been popularized. This ironware, let’s make do with it.

While the blacksmith was making the pump, Qiao Jiwei had recruited laborers from the village to start working in the yard.When these people heard that Qiao Jiwei wanted to dig a well in his own yard, they all advised Qiao Jiwei to curb his thoughts. Naturally, their reason was that no one in the village had a well in their yard for hundreds of years. If there was an extra well for no reason, I'm afraid there will be trouble, and if the family members fall into the well, the happy event will turn into a funeral.

But Qiao Jiwei didn't listen and asked them to dig a well.Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, they had to start working.

Until the well was dug seven or eight meters deep, Zhu Tiejiang still did not build the pump.This is not to blame for the blacksmith's stupidity, after all, this thing is also an extremely complicated handicraft.Blacksmith Zhu is also doing it for the first time, so he will inevitably be unskilled.

Another day later, the iron pump was finally finished after tempering. Qiao Jiwei first put the long pipe on the pump into the well water, and then installed the pump on the well.Then paint around the well kill pump, the well that was originally drilled is buried underneath, as if it has disappeared.Only the kill pump on it can be seen.

A dozen or so well-drillers gathered in the yard to watch, and found it quite novel.One person couldn't help saying: "This thing is like a pavilion."

Indeed, the appearance of the pump is indeed like a pavilion, and then a long iron handle like a hat handle is added to it, which looks a bit out of place.

One person was puzzled, "If the top of the well is covered, how will the water come out?"

Hearing the words, Qiao Jiwei walked to the back of the well and pressed the iron handle up and down. After a while, water burst out from the opening outside.When everyone saw it, they all praised him.

When a new thing is created, it must have a name. Qiao Jiwei named the well Suppressed according to the way water is produced from the well.

The Qian family made a good start, and all the villagers followed suit.It's just that they can't do it alone, so they can only rely on the team that dug the well before.When digging a well, Qiao Jiwei made a rule: If you dig a well for someone in the team, you won’t get any money, but you have to ask your family to prepare iron tools.If you go to other people's homes to dig wells, you will have to charge another two hundred Wen.

Qiao Jiwei's stipulation in this way is tantamount to saying that drilling wells is the benefit of partners.Others are customers.While digging wells, blacksmiths are also continuing to make pumps.

There were not many families in the village, and within ten days, almost every family was equipped with a well suppression well.All of a sudden, it is very convenient for the villagers to fetch water.No longer have to worry about shoulder pain from carrying water.
