[Chapter 75 Stockings Manufacturing]
Robb stood at the door of the spider’s room and looked inside. He saw four big spiders still locked on the iron pillar. Around one of the big spiders, there were countless spider eggs, and these spider eggs were still being Covered with spider silk, it looks very well protected.
The belly of the large spider that had laid its eggs had shrunk a lot, and it seemed to be wilting a lot.
Robb couldn’t help laughing and crying: “I saw this when I woke up?”
Lillian and the four middle-aged women who had invited to help weave and sew socks hid in the back far away, poking their heads in fearfully. Hearing Robb’s question, he nodded quickly: “Yes, it wasn’t like this yesterday.”
A woman said: “No wonder this big spider was not willing to spin silk yesterday. It turned out that it was about to lay eggs.
” This is really scary.” Lilian said: “If only a few dozen eggs were laid, we could still raise them, but there are so many in our lives, we can’t support them, Master, it seems that we can only deal with one of them. Most of the eggs, only a small part is left, otherwise, these hundreds of eggs will hatch at the same time, and the little spiders will run around all over the ground, that is not disgusting and dead.”
Robb was actually thinking about this, but his eyes shifted. The middle-aged woman next to her suddenly thought that there are hundreds of women like this in Xifeng Town. They were idle and idle, and laughed: “It would be too wasteful to dispose of it. The silk spun by this spider can be used to make Silk stockings can be sold at a good price. It can be a very good industry. Let me build a big factory, incubate these hundreds of spider eggs, use them to spin silk, and then put all the women in the town. Hiring, let’s create the fifth largest industry in Xifeng Town—the manufacturing of stockings.”
Xifeng Town currently has only four industries, namely mining, hunting, agriculture, and herb collection. Except for agriculture, these four industries are all It is a high-risk, heavy-duty job that only men can do well. The women in West Wind Town can’t produce any value other than helping the family do some farm work.
And Robb’s opening is to hire all the women in the town, which will undoubtedly be a great act of kindness.
The four middle-aged women next to him gave Robb the most solemn gift on the spot: “Praise the God of Light, praise Father Robert!”
“Don’t patronize praise.” Robb smiled: “Go alone, help me The cloth dealer in the town called, I want to build this factory, and I can’t do it without the help of the cloth dealer.”
Soon after, the cloth dealer was invited.
The cloth merchant in Westwind Town is actually a very, very small businessman. When Robb just bought Lillian a month ago, he once went to the cloth merchant to buy cotton cloth and black dye. When the merchant saw Robb, he hurriedly saluted and shouted first. Dad, then stood with his hands down: “You sent someone to call me here, what are your orders?”
Robb smiled and said, “You should know about the fact that I use spider silk to make stockings?” The
town is too small to have any secrets , The white stockings on Lillian’s legs are too eye-catching. The whole town actually knows that Robb is doing stockings, but everyone knows it and knows it, but they can’t learn it.
The cloth merchant nodded quickly: “Yes, I know.”
Robb said: “My spiders suddenly lay eggs, hundreds of them at a time. I wanted to burn them all, but after thinking about it, I thought it was too wasteful. It’s better to keep all these spiders alive and make a large stockings factory. But you know, I’m very busy…”
As soon as he said this, a strange look flashed on the face of the cloth merchant. Expression, although he didn’t speak, Robb seemed to hear him say: “Cut!”
Robb: “What expression did you have just now?” The
cloth merchant quickly said: “No! I don’t have any expression.”
“Okay, then I’ll go on.” Robb said: “Where did you just say? Oh, yes, I just said that I am very busy…”
Cloth merchant: “Cut!”
Robb: “I wipe, you This time, it’s not just the expression, but actually cut out the sound.”
Cloth merchant: “…”
Robb said: “Forget it, I don’t care about the villain, and then I talk about the real business. I don’t have time to do any factory management, operation and other things, so I want to hire a professional manager, or a factory Chang, I think you are a very suitable person.”
“Huh?” The cloth merchant became a little excited: “Really?”
Robb said: “Then there is still a fake! Most of the townspeople in this town are Some small producers, small handicraftsmen, can’t even do the simplest arithmetic problem, only you, a business person, have the ability to make overall arrangements and calculations, and I think you can do it.” The
cloth merchant was inexplicably moved!
Luo Bo said: “You can’t actually make a lot of money by selling some linen and cotton. Follow me to make stockings and make high-end products. That’s a better way to reach the peak of life. I won’t talk nonsense anymore, just ask you one question. , come or not?”
“Yes, of course!” The cloth merchant quickly agreed.
In fact, the cloth dealer knew exactly how valuable the stockings were, because he and the itinerant merchant were good friends.
The cloth purchase channel in his shop is the itinerant merchant. Every time the itinerant merchant comes to Westwind Town, he will bring him some cloth and let him sell it in the shop.
Because of this, every time the itinerant merchant came to Westwind Town, he would chat with him.
A few days ago, the itinerant merchant came to Xifeng Town, and bought a small amount of silk stockings from Robb. At that time, he sighed at the cloth merchant, saying that this kind of stockings is a unique and good product in Fengmo Continent. I like it, it can be sold for a big price, but unfortunately the quantity is too small.
The cloth dealer listened to it and remembered it in his heart, but he was unable to intervene. Now Robb suddenly wants to hand over the management of this business to him, which is not a great joy.
“Father, what do you want me to do, just tell me, I will try my best to do it.”
Robb secretly rejoiced: very good, and you don’t have to get tired yourself.
He thought for a while and said, “First of all, it is to build a factory. You need to ask some townspeople to help and pay them. Just build a random piece of land on the hillside behind my church… Be careful about building a factory. It’s time to think about how to raise spiders in advance, and ask an experienced hunter to guide you on how to build a house that is most suitable for raising spiders in large numbers.” The
cloth merchant quickly wrote it down.
Robb said with a smile: “You have to hire people while the factory building is under construction. The division of labor must be fine, at least divided into four groups of people. One group of people must be men, who are mainly responsible for raising spiders, and nothing else. The second group all need women, they only need to take care of weaving cloth, and nothing else. The third group also needs women, who are responsible for sewing the woven cloth into stockings, and nothing else. The fourth group It is responsible for counting the number of finished stockings, putting them in the warehouse, managing them well, and shipping them to the itinerant merchants when they come to buy them… If the speed of the itinerant merchants’ acquisition cannot keep up with our production speed, you can build one by yourself. The caravan, which belongs to the fourth group, will be transported to the Bright Road by ourselves to sell the stockings.”
