Chapter 586: Pantothenic Sour

Chu Jinnian was obviously much better at assembling the waterwheel model than she was, but the blueprint was a bit complicated, and he was new to it, so he wasn't very experienced.

Therefore, the two of them could only look at the drawings and those scattered pieces of wood together, and carefully study how to assemble them.

It took almost a whole day's effort, and by dark, the waterwheel model was finally completely assembled.

Both of them felt a little tired, especially Zhuang Qingning, who felt that his brain cells were severely damaged and even his eyes were sore.

However, looking at this exquisite and compact model, which is made completely according to an actual waterwheel, and can even achieve the same function as a waterwheel when placed in a basin, I still feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart.

Mission accomplished, a certain Five has also issued a reward, the actual disassembled diagram of the waterwheel.

After Zhuang Qingning got the diagram, he also asked Chu Jinnian to take a closer look at it.

Chu Jinnian nodded repeatedly, "This diagram is quite detailed. We can send it to Lu to urge local officials to start speeding up construction."

The drought situation is urgent. The earlier the water truck can be used, the earlier the drought can be alleviated.

"That's how it should be." Zhuang Qingning thought for a moment and said, "It's just that this waterwheel model has just been made. The actual large waterwheel may not necessarily be very useful. Since we have such a model and we know this waterwheel very well, we might as well let the people here actually make one first. If there are any problems with it, they can also point out some problems or make some improvements."

"Once we have studied it thoroughly, we can send the blueprints to Lu directly and give some guidance to the skilled craftsmen, so that we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Chu Jinnian thought it made perfect sense and nodded approvingly, "Indeed."

Moreover, there has been a long drought in Lu, and some places are already filled with resentment. If the drawings are sent over rashly, but the process of building the waterwheel is not smooth, it will give people hope and then disappointment, and it will also make people easily feel that the government is messing around, which will deepen public resentment and the result will be more trouble than gain.

Based on this consideration, Chu Jinnian asked Jing Zhao to go to the county government office overnight and informed Xu Zhengping of the matter. He asked Xu Zhengping to gather skilled craftsmen in the county to work day and night to build the waterwheel as soon as possible.

After receiving the order, Xu Zhengping immediately sent people to find people at night, studied the drawings of the waterwheel, and started to build the waterwheel as soon as possible.

The issue of the waterwheel can be said to have been settled for the time being, and it will be resolved in the next two days.

So, Chu Jinnian suggested going boating on the lake with Zhuang Qingning on this hot summer day.

On a hot summer day, go boating on the lake, see the mountains in the distance, the green trees nearby, the fragrance of lotus, the gurgling water under the boat, drink tea and chat with Zhuang Qingning, maybe even hold hands...

Chu Jin coughed, hiding his thoughts at the moment, and waited expectantly for Zhuang Qingning to nod in agreement.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhuang Qingning answered truthfully, "I have to go check on the soap workshop and the weaving workshop today."

It has been more than 20 days, and I don’t know what the current situation of these two newly opened workshops is.

Chu Jinnian sighed in his heart when he heard this.

Sure enough, in Zhuang Qingning's heart, doing business still occupies a very important position.

Maybe, even bigger than him.

Chu Jinnian felt a little sour in his heart.

"Since you want to see the workshop..." Chu Jinnian said, "I'll go with you."

"Go together?" Zhuang Qingning raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, let's go together." Chu Jinnian answered affirmatively, "Speaking of which, this soap workshop is a business that you and I run together, so I naturally have to go and see how the workshop is doing now and whether it can make money."

Jing Zhao, who was standing by, curled his lips helplessly when he heard this.

My eldest son is really getting better and better at telling lies with his eyes open.

If you want to accompany Miss Zhuang, just say you want to go. You have to beat around the bush and say you want to see how the business is and whether you can make money or something like that. You give yourself a bunch of excuses, but I'm afraid you're just deceiving yourself.

He was clearly a person who had never cared about any industry or shop business, but now he was eager to see if a soap workshop could make money...

Who would believe this if I said it out loud! It was just that his clingy nature was exposed...

Zhuang Qingning could naturally see what Chu Jinnian was thinking, but she didn't point it out. She just smiled and said, "Yes, after all, this is a business we do together. You should care about it out of emotion and reason."

"Yes, so we must go and take a look." Chu Jinnian also smiled, and together with Zhuang Qingning, he packed up a little and went to the county town.

The first place we went to was Zhuang Yutian’s weaving workshop.

Zhuang Yutian and Mrs. Meng were overjoyed at Zhuang Qingning's arrival. They moved a chair over and served her some cold tea. "A few days ago, I wanted to talk to you, Miss Ning, about the status of the weaving workshop. But when I got home, I heard that you had gone out for something and didn't know when you would be back. So we had to wait until you came back to talk about it."

"I went to Xuanyuan Prefecture a few days ago for some business, and I just came back the day before yesterday. Yesterday I visited several workshops at home, and today I hurried over to take a look." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "How are the workshops these days, and how is the cloth production?"

"That's what I want to tell you."

Mrs. Meng smiled and pointed at the cloth on the shelf for Zhuang Qingning to see. "These are all woven these days. The amount of cloth woven every day is very considerable, and the quality of the cloth is also very good."

Mrs. Meng said, taking a few pieces to show Zhuang Qingning, "These are all natural-colored cloth. The threads are dyed before weaving. The color is more uniform and more comfortable to the touch than cloth that is woven first and then dyed."

"We hired two masters to specially match the colors and patterns for this woven fabric. The woven fabric is also very beautiful."

"These cloths have already started to be put on the shelves in the cloth shop. Even if we add the rent of the shop, the wages of the employees, and the profit, the overall price can be on par with the purchase price in Songjiang."

"In this case, other cloth shops will have to sell at a loss, otherwise they will not be able to compare with our cloth shop's cheap and good cloth."

Hearing Mrs. Meng mention the other cloth shop, Zhuang Qingning immediately thought of Mr. Cao and said with a smile, "Isn't that Cao Jiande going to lose a lot of money now?"

"That's right." Mrs. Meng also laughed. "Before, Cao Jiande did bad things one after another. As a result, he has a store full of goods and can't sell them at all. I heard that he is so worried that his hair is turning white these days."

"That Cao guy is the same. He was originally doing a stable business, selling cloth, and there was no loss. But he insisted on creating so many troubles. As a result, he ended up losing more than he gained. He ended up ruining the business of the shop."
