Luo Jianjia was immersed in thinking all the time, not paying any attention to someone standing beside him until he spoke.
"What are you thinking?" Chu Wei asked coldly, "Miss."
Luo Jianjia looked at Chu Wei Leng who was close at hand, paused for a moment, and then said, "It's nothing."
Hearing this answer, Chu Wei Leng was a little disappointed.
His wife was always at a distance from him.
Since he came home last year, he found that she was not the same as before.
At that time, the disgust in her eyes was clearly revealed in her speech and behavior.
Now he doesn't seem to dislike him very much, but he is still cold to him.
I don't know what's wrong with this.
What should he do to make the lady change her attitude.
Even though the thoughts in his heart were complicated, Chu Wei never showed his cold face. He glanced at her and said lightly, "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 Shi went home to cook.
Just after the meal was cooked, Chu Weilen and Boss Chu also came back.
During the meal, Chu Wei Leng asked a question: "Will the bamboo sticks be made too slowly? Should we hire a few more people to do it?"
Luo Jianjia didn't expect Chu Wei Leng to find out the problem so quickly, and looked up at him.
"It's not too slow, is it? Your father and Uncle Yuan can make two or three hundred sticks a day, and Aunt Li and I are in charge of polishing them. It's quite fast. Now they have saved almost a thousand sticks." Zhao said.
Chu Wei said coldly: "On that day, four or five of us used more than one hundred bamboo sticks, and the brother Wang alone used forty or fifty sticks. If it is an ordinary person, it will be about ten sticks, and if there are thirty sticks a day People, it is three hundred, and when the store opens, everyone has to do other things, it is impossible to do so many in one day, it is too late."
Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
Chu Wei glanced coldly at Luo Jianjia and said, "Besides, the lady's craftsmanship is so good, I'm afraid there are more than three hundred pieces a day."
Chu Wei thought coldly, he thought about it, Luo Jianjia couldn't have thought of it.
Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao didn't think much about it before, but after being reminded by their son, they suddenly realized that they were too slow to do so.
But they've spent a lot of time doing it, and it's not going anywhere soon.
"In that case, we still have to hire a few more people," Zhao said.
Chu Wei Leng and Boss Chu both nodded.
At this time, I just heard Luo Jianjia say: "Perhaps, we can make a machine to make bamboo sticks instead of people, so that we don't need to hire more people."
"machine?"
Hearing this unfamiliar word, the three people present all looked at Luo Jianjia.
Luo Jianjia pursed her lips and explained, "I mean, make something, such as a loom, for bamboo sticks."
They have seen the loom. It is a very complicated thing. It is a strange and strange thing. It is very magical.
Moreover, they have grown so big, they have never seen a few such things, they are just a bamboo stick, can they also be a machine
"Then what do you do?" Zhao asked.
Boss Chu also had a suspicious look on his face.
Chu Wei Leng was lost in thought.
If you can really do something like that, it will take a lot of effort.
However, that thing is too complicated.
The loom does not know that what has been made by generations of people, cannot be made by people like them.
Luo Jianjia had occasionally caught a glimpse of that kind of machine on the Internet, but she didn't know how to do it.
However, in the past two days, she has also seen Boss Chu and the others making bamboo sticks, which she also did when entertaining Wang Qingjue before, so she had some ideas.
"Bamboo sticks are first made into pieces. The bamboo is cut into pieces, and then it is layered. Finally, it is cut into bamboo sticks one by one, and the thorns on the top are polished. If it is divided into pieces, is it possible? Make some iron pieces, piece by piece, put the bamboo on top and it will automatically separate... Then make some small iron pieces, cut the separated bamboo sticks again... And the grinding process later, make a few gears or other It can save a lot of trouble." Luo Jianjia put forward some of his own opinions.
As she spoke, she gestured with her hands.
Although it can't be made into the fully automatic type of later generations, it can be semi-automatic. After the machine is made, it can be shaken manually.
Chu Wei looked at Luo Jinjia with a rather complicated look.
Just made bamboo sticks.
Although what Luo Jinjia said was not very clear, Chu Wei Leng understood what she meant. It was nothing more than two points, dividing the bamboo into strips and polishing.
He was astonished that Luo Jianjia could think so much and think of a solution.
How much surprise can she bring him
After Luo Jinjia finished speaking, Chu Wei Leng 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 felt that this method was feasible, so they decided to go to the blacksmith shop tomorrow to ask, and make some simple parts first to see if it would work.
This thing is not an overly complicated machine, but everyone has never thought that machines can be used to replace labor, so they didn't think about it. Now that I have this idea, I start thinking about it, and it's fast.
On the second day, everyone went to the blacksmith shop to ask questions and experiment.
After three or five days, the simplified version of the bamboo stick machine was finally made.
After making it, it is indeed much simpler and less labor-intensive than before.
One person puts the cut bamboo tube, and one person shakes the machine, and 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 rounded sticks with a pointy end.
Looking at the bamboo sticks made one by one, everyone was very happy, and the eyes they looked at Luo Jianjia were not the same as before.
As soon as Chu Wei Leng came back from the military camp, he heard the cheers in the courtyard.
He knew that his parents were reticent to talk, and his wife was even more reluctant to talk.
Uncle Yuan and Aunt Li were also silent.
On weekdays, the voices of people in the yard can hardly be heard.
Today is different from before.
As soon as he heard the cheers and thought of what everyone had been doing recently, Chu Wei Leng guessed the score, and his pace was a little faster than before.
Zhao Shi was the first to notice that his son was coming. He raised the bamboo stick in his hand and said to his son, "Brother Leng, come and see, the bamboo stick has been successfully made."
From a distance, looking at the bamboo stick in his mother's hand, a smile appeared on Chu Wei's cold face.
When Luo Jianjia heard Chu Wei Leng coming, she also looked back, but when she looked back, the smile on her face hadn't fallen.
Seeing that Chu Wei was cold, he handed him the bamboo stick.
Boss Chu and the others continued to try to make the next one.
"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 polish it a little bit."
Chu Wei looked at the bamboo stick in his hand coldly, 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 her ear, and looking at the handsome face in front of her, Luo Jianjia felt her ears suddenly warm and her smile stagnated for a while, so she stared at Chu Wei coldly.
Chu Wei Leng felt that she looked very silly and cute, and couldn't help raising his hand and rubbing her hair.
The moment Chu Wei touched her hair coldly, Luo Jianjia felt that not only did her smile stop, but her heartbeat also stopped.
