Otherworldly Days

Chapter 443 Surprise

They went to the pier in the town. Two big men moved the big wooden box off the boat. When Cao Xiangnan saw such a big box, he looked at Shen Zhengyang with some doubts in his eyes and asked him what was inside.

Shen Zhengyang returned Cao Xiangnan with a mysterious smile, you guessed it.

A light flashed in his mind, Cao Xiangnan's eyes lit up, and he had a guess in his heart, it might not be what he thought.Facing Shen Zhengyang looking into his eyes, he asked, "Is that what I think?"

"..." I didn't say anything, how did you know it was what you thought, Young Master Shen stared.

That's it!Cao Xiangnan had a big smile on his face, it was really great!He shouted happily, "Let's go, load it back, let's go back and have a look."

It is inconvenient for people to come and go here, so let's transport them away first.

The boxes were loaded onto the carriage one by one, and the group of them headed back.

They went to the garment workshop, and the unloaded boxes were carried into the workshop, where there happened to be a small room.Open the box, move the contents over, and the master who came with him led people to install the corner parts. Cao Xiangnan couldn't help but stepped forward to help.

The few brothers standing aside looked at such a strange thing, but they didn't know what it was.Li Mei didn't know either, but seeing that their boss was so happy, he went to help himself. Since this item was shipped here, it must be something related to their garment workshop, and it must be a good item.

This is a hand-operated loom. It is the blueprint that Cao Xiangnan gave to the past years ago. After a winter, the master made the blueprint that he gave him into a finished product. The whole spinning machine is made of wood. It is assembled from parts one by one, so much change requires the patience of the craftsman to make it.The surface is polished and smooth, which shows the care of the master.

Cao Xiangnan thanked the master, and the master hurriedly waved his hands, saying that it was right, he asked people to send the master outside to rest first, and the people staying inside were all his own people.After all, this thing does not belong to this era, and it is better to keep it a secret, except that it is not good for too many people to know.

Fortunately, the working workshop here in the garment workshop is not open to just anyone. Except for the buddies who work in this workshop, they can come in and out at will, and those who work outside and are responsible for other parts of the work cannot enter the workshop.When the time comes to give orders, just don't allow anyone to come in here casually.

"Boss, is this a loom?" The brothers discussed it, and felt that this thing looked familiar, but it was a little different from the looms they had seen before. Li Mei, who was pushed out, represented everyone asked.

"You guessed half right. This is a loom, but it is different from the one you used before." Cao Xiangnan was very satisfied with the assembled spinning machine, but he didn't know how it would work. .

He studied mechanics at university and is particularly interested in mechanics.At that time, he had studied the machines initially used during the Industrial Revolution, and he couldn't figure it out. China knew how to use looms thousands of years ago, so why did they stay in the era of small farmers and couldn't start the industry? Produced.

The reason is that people in the era of small farmers were too satisfied with their current lives, which led to no innovation and progress.

The same machine, changing a small place, may change the production of an era.

Restricted by the conditions of this era, they can't make big machines in the era of large industries, but they can still make this kind of preliminary manual machinery for local use. At least there is no problem in increasing production.

"Li Mei, Wu Yue, all of you, come here. I'll tell you how to use this thing, and how it's different from the looms you used to use." Cao Xiangnan beckoned his brothers to come over, and he told them about this machine. The working principle of the swing spinning machine and how to use it.

The brothers felt incredible when they heard this, they stared wide-eyed and listened carefully, fearing that they might miss a word. Cao Xiangnan told Li Mei and his brothers how to use the spinning machine, and then What he was waiting for was how these buddies would use their wisdom and ability to use the spinning machine well.

The brothers listened carefully, eager to try it out, wondering if this loom is really as magical as their boss said.

Li Mei believed in what their boss said, and he felt that the weaving opportunity was really what our boss said.

That's really...

Li Mei's heart suddenly became excited. Looking at the loom in front of her, it was as if she saw a golden mountain in front of her. She couldn't imagine it.

"Li Mei, I will leave it to you. If you have anything to do, you can go to my place to find me. Yes, I may go to Nanyang in a few days. If I leave at that time, I will notify you all in advance. You arrange A few people will follow me to Nanyang." Cao Xiangnan has plans to go to Nanyang, and when he goes, he will take a few people on a business trip, and take these buddies to see what the outside world is like.

He hoped that any one of these people under his command would be able to play a leading role for him in the future, and it would not be in vain for him to spend so much time cultivating them.He could see the progress of these buddies day by day, which made Cao Xiangnan feel very gratified.

"My boss, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it when the time comes." Li Mei replied.

"En." Cao Xiangnan also gave some instructions to Manager Li, and also told him not to let outsiders in here casually, and this outsiders also included people they didn't trust.After all, there are quite a few brothers working in the workshop. Apart from the original ones, a lot of people have been recruited later. No one knows who is who, so it's better to be careful.

After giving the order, he took Shen Zhengyang and left from the garment workshop.

After going to their boss's house, the buddies who stayed here all knew the importance of this loom. They were very glad that they could gain the trust of their boss and stay here, and leaned over to touch this strange looking thing .

On the way, Cao Xiangnan met someone who stopped their carriage. Seeing that Liu Qiang was looking for him, and seeing Liu Qiang's anxious expression, he asked, "But what happened at home?" He was worried about what happened to Wanfeng and the child.

"No, no, it was someone from the compound who said something happened, and the mistress asked me to come and find the master, so you can go back." Liu Qiang said.

"Oh, then let's go quickly." It doesn't matter if Wanfeng and the child have something to do, Cao Xiangnan is still worried that something happened at home, and he doesn't know what kind of moth has been messed up for him in the compound.

Zhao Xue came over to the compound in a hurry and said that something happened. He had an elder brother at home, and he couldn't leave with two younger ones. Qi Wanfeng didn't want to go to the compound in his heart.Thinking back when his husband was hit by a carriage and lying on the bed and was about to die, no one in the family cared about it, and finally drove the three of them out.

If they had no land to eat and no place to live today, I'm afraid that the compound will immediately cut off all ties with them, lest their family will pester them.

Today, the past is over, Qi Wanfeng will not think about those people and the past, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be enthusiastic about the people in the compound.Since people came from the courtyard and said something happened, Qi Wanfeng didn't want to go there by himself, but he asked someone to go to Fu Lang and let Fu Lang come back to see how to deal with it.

On the way back, Cao Xiangnan asked Liu Qiang what happened, but Liu Qiang couldn't explain clearly, and it wouldn't be a good thing after all.

The family ugliness was not publicized, and Cao Xiangnan couldn't let Shen Zhengyang see the jokes about those messy things in the compound, so he let him go back to his place first.He got into his own carriage and headed towards the courtyard.

In the yard, his mother was crying, yelling about committing crimes, and he didn't know who he was scolding.Based on Cao Xiangnan's understanding of his mother, the person who scolded him would definitely not be his good second brother, and he didn't even cry, which was a bit too fake.

"Okay, don't cry, don't you think my head doesn't hurt enough?" Father Cao snorted, with an ugly expression on his face.

Chen Zhu, who was kneeling there crying, was choked up and stopped talking.He took a sneak peek at the head of the house out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Cao Xiangnan yelled "Em", and he reluctantly responded.

"Fourth brother." Seeing his fourth brother coming, Cao Gaojin yelled, talking about his family, Zhao Xue went to his house to find someone, but he was not at home, "Father, what happened? I met my family on the way." Go find me and tell me something happened here." Cao Xiangnan didn't want to listen to Cao Gaojin's rambling, so he interrupted him and asked him about his father.

On the way here, I heard Liu Qiang say a few words, but I don't know exactly what happened.

Father Cao's face was a bit dark, he sighed, and only said that it was the second room, did your second brother have a conflict with your second brother, he said concisely, "Your second brother accidentally pushed your second brother What a sudden, didn't you think that your second brother was pregnant with a child, and the child in the belly disappeared after this fall."

"I was still in the field at that time, and I was not at home. It was my family who called me back, so I found out about this. Why don't the old five's come to your house to find you?"

Cao Xiangnan frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Second brother and second brother, what's the matter with you two? Talk it out if you have something to say, why did you fight back!"

"How is the second brother now, but can you ask the doctor to come and see?"

"I asked Dr. Sun to come over and show it to me," said Aunt Cao.

Dr. Sun is a barefoot doctor in their village, and his medical skills are not very good. If the headache and fever are not serious, he can take two medicines and take two medicines. If it is serious, he still has to go to the town to see a doctor.

Cao Xiangnan looked at his father's expression, but he didn't think it was as simple as a conflict, pushing the child away?He didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the compound at first, so don't make a fuss about it.But everyone else has come here, and they can't just leave, beckon Liu Qiang to come over, and tell him to go to the town to ask old doctor Luo to come over.

Liu Qiang took his master's order and drove the carriage away.

"Is the second brother in the house? I'll go in and have a look at him." The house is terrible, no one is reliable, Cao Xiangnan thought it's better to go and see how the people are, and don't die in the house like he did back then. No one knows.

"This..." Aunt Cao wanted to stop him, but knowing that he couldn't hide it, he sighed and said, "Go, stay in the house." Cao Xiangnan also knew which house Cao's second son lived in, so he raised his foot and walked away. Go to that house.
