Walking up the mountain on the snow, Wan Feng quickly found a path on the snow that was made by several tiny animal hoof prints.
The smallest and messiest hoof prints are undoubtedly those of mountain rats, while those that are slightly thicker than those of mountain rats are those of rabbits.
In the heavy snow, rabbits and roe deer, two animals with low IQs, specialize in walking on the old paths. There are no roe deer on this mountain, so only rabbits are left.
Wan Feng set his shiny rabbit traps on the rabbit trails, found some small trees that the rabbits could not escape from, tied one end of the trap to the tree, and opened the circle to stand on the rabbit trail.
After all the rabbits have been trapped, go down the mountain and go home.
When he returned home, Wan Feng went into the machinery factory and found Xiao Dexiang.
The assembly workshop uses a method where seven or eight people gather around one tractor. The assembly method is backward and the work efficiency is low. Even if they are not idle, this group of people can only assemble two tractors a day at most.
It just so happens that two teams can assemble four tractors a day.
Wan Feng lay on the kang for a long time last night and came up with a simple solution.
Since we cannot build a mechanized assembly line, using manpower to build the production line will be much more efficient than it is now.
"We designed a slideway that starts with the rear axle assembly and then moves forward, installing a component with each step. After the rear axle assembly, we install the gearbox, followed by the large steering gear and engine, then the belt and two wing covers. The last step is the steering mechanism and drive wheels. People at each step specialize in one, two, or no more than three tasks, which greatly improves work efficiency."
Xiao Dexiang certainly understood what Wan Feng meant: "You mean using an assembly line? Is that okay? Then there won't be any quality issues."
"The assembly line can be slower, but quality must be guaranteed. Any link that has a problem will be held accountable. A reward and punishment system should be established to eliminate hidden dangers."
"Okay! I'll design it. Our current production is really too low. It's not enough to sell."
"We're just getting started now. In two years, the line of people buying tractors in front of our door will probably stretch all the way to Xiaoshutun. We must increase production."
Wan Feng didn't know how to design a production line because he had never come across it in his previous life.
Xiao Dexiang called in people from the technical department, and a group of them sat around a table drawing and designing for a day before they finally came up with a feasible assembly line design.
"We'll have the slide made tomorrow and put it on a scaffolding crane for testing. We'll make improvements as we go along, and we'll probably be able to put it into production within the first year. I just don't know how much the production capacity will increase."
Wanfeng is not sure how much the production capacity can be increased, but it is certain that it will increase.
It was almost dark at this time. Because of the snow, the workers at the machinery factory got off work early today. After all, all the people working there lived in Gushan.
Wan Feng calculated the time and felt that there was still time to go up the mountain, so he came to Nanda Mountain again.
I followed the traps I set in the morning and surprisingly got a pretty good harvest, catching eight rabbits in total, all of them looking like they were dying with their eyes open.
Wan Feng thought it would be good if he could catch three or five, but he didn't expect to catch so many.
What else can I do if I can put on a few more of these rabbit skins tomorrow?
After Wan Feng sorted out these rabbit traps that had done him good, he returned home carrying eight rabbits on his back.
When the women in the garment factory saw Wan Feng coming back with a bunch of rabbits on his back, they ran outside to applaud him and then started to act like saints.
"Such a cute rabbit died just like that."
"Who is so cruel as to kill these cute rabbits?"
"that is!"
Wan Feng felt depressed after hearing this.
"When we eat the meat, you are not allowed to eat any of these pieces that you have shown excessive compassion for. Luan Feng, write them down in a small notebook for me. Whoever eats a piece will have five yuan deducted from their bill."
We must use drastic measures to deal with the language of public intellectuals, and soon there will be no more chicken soup articles.
The most authentic way to eat rabbit is to stew it with potatoes or radish. Wan Feng likes to stew it with radish, so he made a plan to stew rabbit with radish.
What remains is how to process the rabbit skin.
These rabbits are still worth processing because they died not long ago. If they died longer, they would have lost their fur.
Wan Feng calculated the eight rabbit skins and wondered what he could do with them.
It is definitely enough to make a waistcoat, but it seems to be insufficient to make clothes. Regardless of whether it is enough or not, let's make it first.
Although tanning leather is not difficult, the process is still quite complicated.
Because there was no rack, Wan Feng cut the midline of the rabbit skin's abdomen, cut off the tail, scraped the oil along the hair roots, and then sprinkled a proper amount of laundry detergent soaked in warm water on the fur to remove blood stains, feces and other debris on the fur.
Dissolve the salt and alum in water at a ratio of 250 ml water, 100 g salt, and 100 g alum per rabbit hide. Turn the hide over, hair side down, and soak it completely in the solution. Turn the hide over every 34 hours.
The rabbit skins should be soaked for about 10 hours, and the remaining muscles, fat and connective tissue on the rabbit skins should be removed by hand or with a knife.
Finally, the temperature should be between 15 and 18 degrees. Soak for about a day, take out the rabbit skin, spread it out fully and nail it on a board or wall to dry in the shade.
When the leather is about 80% to 90% dry, rub it in all directions with your hands to soften it. Then comb the hair neatly and dry it in the sun until it is completely dry. The whole leather tanning process is completed.
Although it is not difficult, it is time-consuming. It takes about two days to make these rabbit skins.
During this period, he went up the mountain again and caught six rabbits, which was probably enough to make a fur coat.
When Luan Feng saw the cooked light grey rabbit skin, she felt something was awe-inspiring.
"What can this thing be used for? Making gloves?"
I spent all this time and you want to make gloves? You look like a glove!
"Connect them piece by piece, using smaller and denser stitches, and then cut them to make a garment."
Luan Feng curled her lips and said, "It would be so uncomfortable to wear some rabbit skin."
"It's uncomfortable, sister. You'll know what it's like when it's done. There's a lot of ulterior motives inside."
Luan Feng gestured for a long time and then connected the rabbit skin piece by piece, and it became a large piece after she left.
Wan Feng drew a dress with a large lapel and a cinched waist for Luan Feng according to his memory.
"Just make it like this."
Luan Feng walked into the workshop with an unhappy look on her face. Although the clothes drawn by Wan Feng looked very beautiful, she really couldn't think of what kind of good-looking clothes could be made from these rabbit skins.
After giving his instructions, Wan Feng went out. He wanted to see if the Spring Festival couplets he ordered from Yuan Hai had arrived.
Seeing that the market had grown in size, Wan Feng asked for an additional 5,000 sets.
It seems that there are a lot more students selling Spring Festival couplets this year than last year, but this year they don’t have to run around, they can buy these couplets at the Wahou Market.
