Chapter 274 We have to use hunger marketing.
Xu Zhiyi spent five days designing the foot-powered thresher. He took the design drawings to a famous old carpenter in the town. The last windmill he made was made with a carpenter in the village.
This time, she planned to prepare for both situations. The old carpenter would leave a copy of the drawing, and she would prepare another copy and take it back to the village to discuss with the villagers. If both sides were successfully made, she would have two machines available immediately.
The old carpenter took the drawing given by Xu Zhiyi, and after Xu Zhiyi's detailed explanation, it didn't seem difficult: "Girl, I can give it a try, but I don't know if the result will be different from your drawing."
Xu Zhiyi: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can turn, it's a success!"
The old carpenter looked at the blueprint and suddenly became curious: "Girl, what are you doing here?"
"Grandpa, this is called a thresher. With this, you can thresh the rice grains right after you harvest it. And it only takes an hour and a half to thresh all the grains of rice from an acre of land."
When the old carpenter heard the name Xu Zhiyi gave him, he wondered, "Grass Chicken?" Why did he choose this name? But after carefully looking at the drawing and combining it with Xu Zhiyi's explanation, he immediately understood and said excitedly, "Girl, can the things in this drawing really be made?"
"If this is the case, the people will save a lot of trouble. They don't have to pick the rice and wait for it to dry before threshing it in handfuls to remove the grains!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Well, if grandpa can make it successfully according to the blueprint, when harvesting rice, we can carry it directly to the field, harvest the rice while using it to thresh the rice grains, and then just wait to pick the grains back and dry them!"
The old carpenter said: "Okay, I will try my best to restore it to the best fit with the blueprint. Also, now is the time when people are rushing to harvest, I will hurry up and finish it, and I hope it can be used now."
Xu Zhiyi nodded and thanked him, then explained to the old carpenter a few points that needed attention before leaving.
After Xu Zhiyi left, the old carpenter couldn't wait to start preparing the materials he would need, such as wood boards, and he couldn't contain his excitement.
After seeing Xu Zhiyi's drawings and his detailed explanation, the villagers were all very excited. Now, in their eyes, Xu Zhiyi was like a god.
He could tinker with all kinds of fertilizers and pesticides to double the crop yield so that they wouldn't have to go hungry in the future. He could invent a windmill so that they wouldn't have to worry about it so much. The whole family could carry water to the high fields together.
Now they have come up with this thresher, and although it hasn't been made yet, when they heard Xu Zhiyi's explanation, it was more detailed than when they first made the windmill, and they understood it better, so they felt that they would be able to make it successfully.
In the evening, Shen Changan took out a wooden box and handed it to Xu Zhiyi who was calculating the account book: "Madam, the dividends from Guyue Pavilion have been delivered."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi opened the wooden box, took out the banknotes and began to calculate. The more he calculated, the more surprised he became: "Wow, seven thousand taels?? That much?"
Shen Changan: "Well, Shopkeeper Wu said that the noble ladies in Kyoto are all buying new styles of headwear and jewelry. They like them very much, so as soon as the new styles come out, they almost rush to buy them all!"
"So Shopkeeper Wu asked me if we could draw more blueprints and launch more new models at once, so that we can earn more money while these ladies are secretly competing with each other."
Xu Zhiyi shook her head: "Not too many, it's only in this way that they are willing to spend a lot of money to rob. If one day, it's not them who rob, but they are not willing to spend money!"
"Tell Shopkeeper Wu that this is the best situation now. This is called hunger marketing. You should make sure that everyone of them is full! Then they will no longer have the desire to compete with each other. At that time, it will have the greatest impact on our business!"
"My wife, you are so amazing!" Shen Changan looked at Xu Zhiyi with admiration and deep love in his eyes: "But, such an amazing wife is mine!"
As he said that, he bent down and kissed Xu Zhiyi on the face, then leaned close to her ear and said, "My dear, let's take a bath together tonight!"
Xu Zhiyi heard Shen Changan's ambiguous tone and whispered to him: "Shen Changan, are you sure you just want to take a bath?"
"My lady, I promise, I really just want to take a bath with you." After Shen Changan raised his hand to express his opinion, he added: "But, if my lady takes the initiative, I don't know if I can hold back!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi closed the account book and snorted coldly: "Humph, you are using this trick again, deliberately tempting me!"
"That proves that you also like me to seduce me that way, right?" He hugged Xu Zhiyi and whispered in her ear, "My dear, the weather has been too hot recently. Let's try in the pool tonight..."
Xu Zhiyi’s face became redder as he listened: “Oh, Shen Changan, you are becoming more and more indecent!”
"I have a wife, how can I be serious?" He stood up and said, "Wife, I'll go get some water!"
After Shen Changan filled the bathtub in the cubicle with water, he saw Xu Zhiyi still flipping through the account book, so he went over and picked her up: “My wife, the water is ready!”
Xu Zhiyi put his arm around Shen Changan's neck and warned in a low voice: "Let me make it clear first, don't make too much noise, I have to go back to the village tomorrow to get the thresher with the villagers!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, ma'am. I'll be the main force tonight and I won't tire you out!"
"What are you talking about? That's not what I meant!" Xu Zhiyi bit Shen Changan's shoulder angrily.
"Hiss...Madam, it hurts!"
After the two took off their clothes, they went down to the bathtub. Xu Zhiyi closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a while, just like taking a hot spring bath. Then she began to rub her body. Suddenly, Shen Changan hugged Xu Zhiyi from behind:
"Ma'am, let me rub your back!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Chen Changan, where have you been?"
"My wife!"
The next day, Xu Zhiyi turned sideways and tried to hug the person next to him, but failed. He opened his eyes and saw the sun shining through the window.
She got up and rubbed her sore waist and dry throat. Thinking of the intense last night, from the bathtub to the bed, tossing her over and over again, she now wanted to go over and bite Shen Changan hard, hurting him to death, hum!
If she hadn't used the spiritual spring water for so long, which had changed her physique to be stronger than that of ordinary people, and if the spiritual spring water hadn't also had the effect of relieving fatigue, she would have been so exhausted that she wouldn't have been able to get out of bed for the entire day!
