"Yes, please don't worry, Master."
Yuan Wu After the team had gone far, he jumped on his horse and returned to the other courtyard.
Su Qiao dug up all the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest as quickly as possible, and hurried back home carrying the peeled bamboo shoots on his back.
There are quite a lot of things to do, including making bags and shoes and socks, making molds for Movable Type Printing, teaching my second uncle how to make Coarse Paper and Xuan Paper, and preparing to build a house.
To build a house, she first needed bricks, cement, and tiles. She planned to ask her second uncle and third uncle, who had no skills, as well as several cousins from Grandpa Second Master Third Master's family to do these.
If everything goes well, they can then build a small Cement Factory, brick and tile factory, Lime Factory, and then set up a construction team dedicated to building houses for people.
But before that, she had to experiment on her own.
Calcining lime is very simple. For bricks and tiles, you only need to find some sticky soil, make a mold, and then Jian Ware burn it. For cement, there are alternative recipes in the encyclopedia of the last book.
Lime, clay, slag ash, and a small amount of sand and gypsum.
Limestone is calcined at high temperature to turn into quicklime, then water is added, and finally it turns into slaked lime. Clay can be found easily, and sand can be fished from the river. Gypsum can be made by just finding gypsum stone and heating and refining it.
The slag ash here refers to the slag ash left after coal is burned, which can be replaced by volcanic ash. Ordinary people do not have it at home, but with Yuan Wu, it is very simple to find the unwanted slag ash shipped from the imperial ironmaking stone.
After having a plan in mind, Su Qiao followed everyone to make bags and shoes.
Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, they collected another 700 pairs of shoes and socks and 500 bags.
In the meantime, because I didn't have enough ingredients, I went to the town to buy some.
The troops were still divided into two groups. The second uncle and second aunt were selling in the town, and Su Qiao had just taken her mother, accompanied by Yuan Wu, to the county town.
To Su Qiao's surprise, the sale went very smoothly, and there was no unsaleable situation.
She felt confused and walked around the downtown area of the county town for a while, but she didn't see any embroidery or ready-made clothing shops selling these things.
Later, when I returned to the town, I went shopping again, but I still didn't find anything. Only occasionally, some people went back and learned to make shoes, socks and bags by themselves.
At this point, Su Qiao was very confident that Feng Han had done something behind the scenes, such as secretly warning those embroidery and garment shops.
The amount for the second time was not as large as the first time, but I still made more than 400 taels of silver.
After saying hello to the old man, Su Qiao spent 22 taels to buy the shop that was under construction in the town.
The shop is quite there. The front shop has two floors, and the inner courtyard has three entrances, which can be used for people to live in. There is still enough space to convert a small workshop.
Su Qiao Very satisfied.
What she wants to open is not a grocery store, but a department store that sells daily necessities for the general public on the first floor, such as shoes, bags, soap, matches, pens, Xuan Paper, Coarse Paper, toothbrushes, tooth powder, etc.
The second floor specializes in women's intimate products, such as socks, menstrual belts modified into underwear, bellybands modified according to modern underwear, as well as some Rouge and Powder, facial masks and whitening creams, etc.
Su Qiao is in full swing preparing to open a store while instructing several uncles and cousins to lay the foundation and build a house.
On the other side, Feng Han, who has arrived in the capital, is also very busy.
As soon as he returned to the capital, the entire capital was in panic. Some people in the court were suddenly cited for dozens of crimes, and were dismissed from office and sent to prison. Some people had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.
