Chapter 345 Zhao Dajiang, Lining
The next day, Shen Xiangwan got up early because Yuanyue had told her that Zhao Dashan had come to see her last night, near the hour of the Rooster, carrying a woven bamboo box. He'd learned she was resting upstairs and had said he'd come back today. He'd run around for her for free, so she couldn't let him run for nothing every time. If it hadn't been so late yesterday, she would have gone straight to Zhao's house.
"Has it been cultivated?"
In just a few days, Mu Yunran led the medical children to cultivate Penicillium using the methods and tools she provided. Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but be a little surprised. To extract and produce penicillin, one must first cultivate Penicillium. They are already halfway successful.
"Well, then there's the question of extraction..."
It was rare for her to get up so early and she had nothing to do for the time being, so Mu Yunran took the opportunity to ask her about the extraction and production of penicillin. With her guidance, they could avoid detours and produce penicillin in the shortest time, making adequate preparations for the next war.
"...That's about it. If you try a few more times, you should be able to succeed soon."
Chen Xiangwan was not stingy and explained it to her in detail. Mu Yunran listened very seriously, and Zhao Yuping and Yun Mengyi on the side both shook their heads and laughed. Not to mention Wanwan, Yunran was almost crazy. With her enthusiasm, it was impossible for her not to become a world-famous doctor in the future. The same went for those medical children. They had met them several times, and each of them was just like Yunran, with their minds full of things related to medical skills.
"Okay, let's try it first."
After putting away the small notebook used for recording, Mu Yunran said goodbye to Zhao Yuping and the others, then got up and left the main hall. Now she spends every day in the classroom dedicated to medical children, and her family can only see her when she is eating or sleeping.
"Is Wanwan at home?"
Zhao Dashan's voice suddenly rang out. Shen Xiangwan was startled for a moment, then raised his voice and said, "Uncle Zhao, come in."
Didn't he come in straight away in the past? Why is he being so polite today?
Just when she was wondering, she saw Zhao Dashan striding in from outside, followed by a man who looked somewhat like him, who was his third brother Zhao Dajiang. Both of them were holding a bamboo box in their hands. It was a sample made according to the drawing she gave. They brought it to her to see first. If there was no problem, they could continue making it.
"Uncle Zhao, let's go to the small study."
Standing up to greet them, Shen Xiangwan led the two of them to the small study.
"Wanwan, let me introduce you, this is my third brother Dajiang."
Entering the small study, Zhao Dashan introduced her first, and Shen Xiangwan nodded friendly. Zhao Dajiang had never met her before, so he was inevitably a little nervous and his attitude seemed a little restrained.
"Is this the bamboo box that Uncle San made?"
Noticing the other party's awkwardness, Pei Chen Xiangwan took the initiative to start a conversation, his eyes falling on the bamboo boxes in their hands.
"Yes, see if it's suitable."
Zhao Dajiang quickly handed the bamboo box to her, and Zhao Dashan followed closely behind.
"Um."
Taking the bamboo box, Shen Xiangwan looked through it carefully, then stood up and took out two high-footed glasses from the cabinet, put them in to test, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said: "That's it, Third Uncle, you can make it according to this specification, but I'm in a hurry to use it, so I hope you can be quick. It would be best if you can have the ones you make delivered here first every day, because I also need to make some decorations inside."
"Okay, ten days, no, five days we can finish it."
Zhao Dajiang stretched out his calloused hands and made an eager promise. When he first learned that she would charge ten cents for each of these bamboo boxes and that they needed ten thousand of them, his first reaction was that his family would eat them all. That was a full one hundred taels of silver. Even though their pork processing workshop made a lot of money, one hundred taels of silver was not a small amount for them. But when his eldest brother repeatedly emphasized the need for quick delivery, he knew that their family could not afford it all, so he decided to find some villagers to do it together. At that time, they could charge eight cents each and they would still make the most money.
"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle San. Could you please let me keep these two bamboo boxes? I need to figure out how to decorate the interior."
Shen Xiangwan nodded with satisfaction. If they did a good job this time, if there were such jobs in the future, he wouldn't mind letting them do it all.
"Okay, then we'll go back first."
In a hurry to get back to weaving bamboo boxes, Zhao Dajiang hurriedly pulled his eldest brother to his feet. The latter said helplessly, "I haven't even had a sip of tea yet."
"I'll ask your sister-in-law to make a pot for you when we get home. You can drink it slowly."
"Forehead···"
Making money is important, and Zhao Dajiang's words are also very sharp. Zhao Dashan has no choice but to nod to Shen Xiangwan and take him away from the Wei family. Only after he was sure that they had left the yard did Shen Xiangwan laugh out loud. It can be seen that the relationship between the two brothers is very good.
The inside of the bamboo box needed some decoration to ensure that the wine glass would not break easily. Shen Xiangwan thought about it and decided to use cotton and ordinary silk cloth. However, she could use any needle with ease, but she couldn't hold an embroidery needle. She could only talk and ask Zhao Yuping and others for help. It took them a long time to meet her requirements.
"Auntie, are you there?"
Now that the specifications and styles of the lining had been worked out, Shen Xiangwan did not delay any longer and went to Wei Jingyi's house with a bamboo box with lining and high-heeled glasses, silk cloth and cotton. Although making ten thousand linings was not difficult, if they relied on themselves alone, it would probably take forever to finish them. They had to mobilize everyone's strength to work together.
"Isn't this Wanwan? Why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Seeing her, Mrs. Wan immediately put down the needlework she was doing and went to greet her, and the others raised their heads and smiled.
Shen Xiangwan brought Yuan Yue into the house with a smile on her face. After nodding to the others, she turned to Wan and said, "Aunt, I'm here to ask for your help."
"help?"
Wan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She looked at Yuanyue, who was holding two pieces of cloth and a bundle behind her, and her eyes fell on the two bamboo boxes. "What can I help you with?"
"That's it."
Shen Xiangwan didn't drag her feet. She picked up one of the bamboo boxes, opened it, took out the goblet and lining inside, and held the latter in front of her: "I want everyone to help me make this lining. I brought the silk and cotton."
"Um···"
After taking the lining, Wan was silent for a moment, and after examining it again and again, she said, "This thing is easy to make. How many do you plan to make? When do you want it?"
Lining required little technical skill; anyone with a knitted hand could make it. Wan readily agreed. Wan Wan had helped them a lot, so she was happy they could help her. If they only took what they wanted without giving anything in return, wouldn't they be ungrateful? They wouldn't be able to do that kind of thing anyway.
