Planning ahead is better than anything else.
"Then let's do it your way."
The village head nodded and convened a meeting of the villagers the next day.
After finishing, they released the person and gave the clothes to their wife. Several skilled craftsmen from the village then went out together and headed towards Pingshan.
After walking about five miles, we saw a group of workers building something ahead. It looked wide and large, like a big shed.
"Hey bro, what are you guys building?"
The village head's wife was the leader of this group. She found a worker working nearby and asked him a question.
His eyes kept scanning the building under construction, and the more he looked at it, the more it resembled a house.
There are also several tall chimneys.
Could it be that they're building a brick kiln?
But this doesn't seem like it either.
The black-clad guard, disguised as a worker, glanced at the group of villagers and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know, they said it was some kind of sweater factory."
Sweater factory?
The village head's wife was taken aback. She had never heard of the word "factory" before, so she didn't react for a moment.
She simply thought that this was something Jiang Bai wanted to build, so she didn't say anything.
The basket was filled with knitted sweaters, which were waiting to be sold to Jiang Bai so that he could get money to make clothes!
Even after walking a distance, she couldn't help but turn back to look in that direction, her heart burning with passion.
She always felt that the sweater factory could definitely solve their urgent problem.
And that was indeed the case. After she sold the sweater to Jiang Bai and received the three hundred coins as payment, Jiang Bai talked to her about the sweater factory.
"You said if I work in a sweater factory, I can get a sweater in advance?"
The village head's wife's voice trembled slightly.
Beside her were five aunts.
They were among the best at knitting sweaters in this group.
"Yes, I plan to invite a few of you to knit the sweaters first, and then I'll invite the others."
"So the first sweater we knitted is really free?" one of the aunties asked excitedly. For someone of their size, a sweater would cost at least five or six ounces of yarn, which would be five or six hundred coins.
As for the lack of labor costs.
Why should I charge for knitting a sweater for myself?
"nature."
"But this time the wool is sheep's wool, which is much more difficult to process."
"However, wool yarn makes for warmer sweaters."
The surrounding villagers are the greatest resource.
After asking them their wishes, Jiang Bai led them to a place he had prepared in advance at home, demonstrated the steps of processing wool, and then took out a wooden frame.
"This is a simple knitting machine that I had made. Using this machine can shorten the time spent knitting sweaters."
"However, if you use a machine, a sweater will only cost twenty coins."
Jiang Bai took out the sweater machine that had been made for him, demonstrated it once, and knitted more than a dozen rows in just a few strokes.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
They were all people who had knitted a sweater, so they naturally knew how long it took to knit one.
This machine is fast and convenient, saving a lot of time.
Artificial products are more refined and of higher quality, but they are also slower to produce.
Jiang Bai had witnessed the mechanical age.
Large machines are not easy to build, but small ones are not difficult to build.
In today's era, making one wouldn't be too much of a hassle.
Time is the most important thing now.
The weather is getting colder every day, and it will probably get even colder in a while.
We must produce warm clothing as soon as possible.
An agreement was reached with the village head's wife and several others.
Jiang Bai then began making arrangements in earnest.
The next day, the six of them arrived at the sweater factory that was under construction.
The wool was already there, and the corresponding tools were all prepared. The village head's wife and the others were all people who were eager to get things done, so they immediately got to work.
Clean the wool thoroughly to remove its fishy smell, then dry it on a special drying rack.
A thin layer was laid out, and once it dried, someone immediately began twisting the thread.
The village head's wife was like a natural leader. Under her command, everyone worked in an orderly manner and produced ten pounds of yarn in just one day.
This efficiency astonished several of the women working there.
"If Daya's knitting machine really works, we might have new sweaters to wear tomorrow."
The group was filled with excitement, their hearts pounding with joy at the thought of the warm sweaters.
The main reason is that this way, the clothes they are currently wearing can be given to their family members, and the family can have one more person to do the work.
The next day, the group began knitting sweaters using a machine.
To be fair, knitting machines are indeed much faster than knitting by hand.
By the end of the day, the main body of the sweater has been knitted off, and all that's left is to knit two more sleeves and sew them on to complete the sweater.
"My goodness, that's so fast."
An auntie was holding a sweater that had been taken off the machine, and kept touching it with her hands.
Even though her arms ached from a long day, it couldn't stop her from being shocked.
The others weren't much better off than her.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's head back!"
The village head's wife suppressed her excitement and began to put the yarn and sweaters into the factory's cabinet and lock them.
Another day, the village head's wife and several others finished knitting the sleeves, sewed them up, and immediately wore them inside their clothes.
"This is made of sheep's wool, it's warmer than rabbit fur."
"That's right, look how thick the wool is."
"Alright, everyone can be happy for a little while, but Da Ya is still waiting for us to find new good people!"
The village head's wife was also very happy, but she knew what was important.
