Chapter 199 New Plan, Oil-Paper Umbrella
But I heard that there are different oil-paper umbrellas in the capital, but they are very expensive, costing several taels of silver each.
Zhao Shiying also inquired about the workshop that made oil-paper umbrellas, and then Zhao Guocheng drove for half an hour to arrive at the place.
As soon as they arrived, they started visiting. Zhao Shiying mainly looked at the variety and quality of their oil-paper umbrellas, and then saw if there was anything she wanted here.
Returned disappointed.
The quality of the oil-paper umbrellas is average, the production process is too slow, and one oil-paper umbrella costs one or two taels of silver. No wonder no villagers use oil-paper umbrellas, because they are expensive and not durable.
This made Zhao Shiying more convinced that whatever she wanted could be achieved.
After returning home, Zhao Shiying began to discuss the matter with Zhao Guocheng, Wang Ronghua, and Zhao Shimin.
"What? You said you want to open a workshop to make oil-paper umbrellas and straw raincoats?" Zhao Guocheng dug his ears, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
Wang Ronghua felt that this little girl really did whatever she wanted.
Preserved eggs and preserved eggs have just become popular and are selling very well, but now we have to start making oil-paper umbrellas.
What's the point of making umbrellas in the middle of winter?
"Dad, just promise me, don't worry, this workshop for making oil-paper umbrellas and raincoats belongs to our family. I will give you some advice and I guarantee that we can make money, as long as you give me some more pocket money." Zhao Shiying said with a grin.
"It's a nice thought, but don't think about it." Wang Ronghua tapped Zhao Shiying's forehead with his finger.
"Our workshop is still in the development stage. I think it's difficult for you to come up with a new thing." Wang Ronghua shook his head.
'I think it's worth a try. After all, Nannan never fights a battle without confidence. Just like the grocery store before, although she didn't manage it well, she also made a lot of money. During this period of time, apart from the wages paid to Wang Mian and the payment for the goods, the little girl also gave money to her grandmother as a gift.
Besides that, I also made a lot of money. The key is that I think umbrellas can be used. If ordinary people can use oil-paper umbrellas and go out without getting wet in the rain, how many people can be saved? Last time, our daughter caught a cold after being wet in the rain. Fortunately, she took medicine in time, so I think it will work. ' Zhao Guocheng said while thinking.
Wang Ronghua was also a little moved by what he said.
It’s true, it’s okay if you don’t seek wealth but just fame.
Besides, Yue Shan will take the imperial examination next year, and both the two children in the family and Yue Shan need a good reputation.
Wang Ronghua smiled.
"Then do it. I support it. But how to do it? And you have to make a sample umbrella first, so that we can see if it works."
"That's right, mother, don't worry. What I made this time are just ordinary oil-paper umbrellas. The quality is definitely better than others. As for adding new varieties in the future, that is a matter for the future." Zhao Shiying nodded. The main reason was that the materials were difficult to find.
At present, oil paper umbrellas are easier to get started with, but the disadvantage is that it takes a little longer.
After the family finished discussing the matter, Zhao Shiying took her mother back to the house.
"Nannan, is there something wrong?" Wang Ronghua asked in confusion. After entering the room, she started looking for pen and ink.
"Mom, come on, sit down. I'll tell you the steps and details of making oil-paper umbrellas, and then you write them down on paper." Zhao Shiying had already taken out the pen and ink. This was a set given to her by her uncle. She had kept it as a treasure and was reluctant to use it.
Wang Ronghua's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Zhao Shiying immediately sat down obediently and began to grind happily.
"This time we are going to write about the making method of oil-paper umbrellas." Zhao Shiying said as she thought.
Speak out the steps in your mind.
After it was spoken, it had to be revised, which took a whole afternoon. In the meantime, Zhao Shiying even went to get the oil-paper umbrella she had bought today, and pointed at it while she explained it in detail to Wang Ronghua.
Neither of them even noticed Zhao Guocheng coming in.
"I've been looking at it for a long time but I still don't understand what you two are doing or writing?" Zhao Guocheng looked at them in confusion.
"Speaking of the making method of oil-paper umbrellas, our daughter is really amazing. She actually knows how to make oil-paper umbrellas. She is worthy of being the little God of Wealth in our family." Wang Ronghua joked with a smile, looking really happy.
I have finally finished proofreading it for the last time.
This production method is the most complete. I believe that even a layman can make an oil-paper umbrella by following this method.
"Yes, my daughter is amazing." After Zhao Guocheng said that, he picked up Zhao Shiying and held her high up. The oil-paper umbrella in his hand also turned several circles, which looked very beautiful.
There is a feeling of peace and warmth.
This made Zhao Shiying giggle non-stop.
"We must keep this oil paper umbrella making method well. You have to keep it safe. I will try to make it with others in the next few days." Zhao Guocheng said.
"Dad, I think Uncle Liu is a good guy. He's Tietou's dad. His family is all carpenters. If he can come and help make oil-paper umbrellas, I think it will be easier for me to get started." Zhao Shiying suggested.
"You're right. I'll go ask him later." Zhao Guocheng nodded.
Zhao Guocheng came in to ask the two of them to have dinner, and now they had just packed up and were going to eat.
After dinner, Zhao Guocheng went to Liu's house.
"Guocheng is here. Have you eaten? If not, have a bite here." Liu Jinfu greeted him warmly when he saw Zhao Guocheng coming into the yard.
"Uncle Liu, stop busying yourself. I'm done eating. I came here to talk to Chuanmu about something." Zhao Guocheng waved his hand.
It was evening now, and it was almost dark, so you could still see clearly around you. Almost every household in Guxian Village was having dinner.
"What's the matter?" Liu Chuanmu had just finished his meal and put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked.
"It's like this. My workshop is so big, but there are still a lot of places that are not used. I don't want to waste it, so I want to make something new. I need someone who knows a little about carpentry. I think Chuanmu is suitable. Of course, Brother Liu Chuanshan is also very good. If we are short of manpower by then, I guess both of you will have to do it.
We just have this idea at the moment and are still testing it. We want to find a sample of Chuanmu. You don't have to go to the workshop tomorrow. Follow my little girl for a few days and help her make things. We can decide the next step next year. If it really works, we may have to recruit workers. "Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem, I'll follow your instructions." Liu Chuanmu nodded.
"What are you planning to do?" Liu Jinfu asked curiously.
Not to mention Liu Jinfu, even Liu Chuanshan and Liu Chuanmu were curious.
The key is to recruit workers next year.
"Oil-paper umbrella." Zhao Guocheng laughed.
"What? Oil-paper umbrella?" Liu Jinfu stared.
Surprised! Very surprised!
You have to know that he doesn't know how to make an oil-paper umbrella. It is very difficult. There are secret recipes and tricks. Outsiders don't understand them at all. Why can't he make an oil-paper umbrella that looks so simple? Even if he makes it, it will be torn after just a few uses.
