Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Gu Mingyue's exaggerated boasting was certainly not groundless.

She and her elder brother Gu Mingwei have basically set the tone for their future work, that is, one plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy.

What happened today has directly put the villagers of Gujia Village in a difficult position.

In the future, things will get better if they are good, and things that are bad will get better.

When encountering problems, Gu Mingyue believes that giving some flattery will have a significant effect and will instantly make everyone dream back to the scene of today.

She admitted that she was a little too excited.

It feels like I’m back to the time when I was doing business and selling things to people. It has become a conditioned reflex.

As a result, she couldn't stop blowing.

Of course, the Bai family must be one of the reasons.

While the Bai family is here this time, we can lay a good foundation in advance.

Bai Zhonghuai said that she was full of little thoughts, and she did not deny it.

She just wanted to use this to make her attitude clear. She was not trying to curry favor with the Bai family, but was seeking equal cooperation.

Otherwise, when you do business with others in the future, they will be willing to help you once or twice because of past friendship.

When affection gradually fades away, the relationship will become distant over time.

It's only a matter of time before it falls apart.

Therefore, she must fully demonstrate the advantages on her side.

Even if she exaggerated, she wasn't lying.

Are the dates in the village not sweet or are the people in the village not united? Or is it that the person she introduced is incompetent?

It's just some modified words.

As for why she went through so much trouble, it was for the cloth, of course.

This time, exchanging the defective cloth with the textile factory was just a favor.

If only this time the defective cloth was exchanged for dates.

The villagers would never be willing to spend money on buying cloth. If they had money, they would only buy firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Rather than spending money, she wants the villagers to make money.

She remembered reading some period literature that mentioned that the protagonist made a lot of money by making headdresses with cloth scraps and sewing puppets.

Yesterday in town, she specifically asked someone about it and found out that it was true.

But not to make ornaments, but to make rags.

The machines in the town's machinery factory need to be carefully wiped every day.

The tricky thing is that motor oil is difficult to clean.

A rag that has been used for wiping cannot be used again, otherwise it may not be enough to wipe it clean, but it may contaminate the machine.

But throwing out a new towel every day is a considerable expense no matter how big the machinery factory is.

Use it, it's a waste. Don't use it, it's not good.

At this time, a female worker in the factory came up with a solution, which was to piece together scraps of cloth into rags.

The rags made in this way can be used and thrown away immediately, so you don’t have to feel bad about it and there is no waste.

The suggestion was quickly adopted.

So the machinery factory took the initiative to seek cooperation with the textile factory.

They paid the money and the textile factory provided the cloth.

I'm worried that someone will cut corners and do shoddy work.

The machinery factory also gave full authority to the textile factory, requiring not only quantity but also quality.

The textile mills gladly accepted.

The piece of cloth may seem insignificant, but it does hold back its large quantity.

Every time we supply goods to the supply and marketing cooperatives, we cannot release them all at once.

Otherwise, with cheaper cloth, it would be difficult to sell whole rolls of cloth.

Generally, textile factories distribute most of them to internal staff.

The remaining ones, if supplied to the outside world, must also be quantified.

At that time, the machinery factory's cooperation proposal was unanimously agreed upon by the textile factory from top to bottom.

The factory also set up relevant regulations and standards specifically for this cooperation.

For example, accurately calculate how many rags can be made from a sack of cloth.

For those who do the work afterwards, the number of finished products must be controlled within this range.

If the quantity is not correct, cooperation will always be refused and compensation for the missing quantity will be required.

There are also regulations on the size of the rag, which cannot be too large, otherwise it will cause waste.

It cannot be too small, which will affect its use.

The set of standards is indeed quite strict.

Even so, city dwellers still need to compete for this job.

You know, now in the city, it only costs eight cents to make a hundred matchboxes.

If you sew rags, you can earn 100 cents for of them.

With the price doubled, only a fool wouldn’t buy it.

The key point is that if the cloth you bring home has beautiful patterns and strong fabric, each family will exchange it for their own cloth.

After all, it's just making rags, so just make sure the quantity matches. No one can possibly remember the patterns on every piece of cloth.

How could such handicrafts that are in short supply end up in the countryside?

Gu Mingyue was interested in this job.

The women in their village are no less skilled than those in the city, they just lack opportunities.

Now that she has the opportunity and connections, if she doesn't make good use of it, she would be wasting the money.

But she was in no hurry to speak now.

In a few days, we will start organizing the villagers to store food and repair canals.

For now, these money-making things have to be put on the back burner. At this stage, life is more important.

Bai Zhonghuai never waited for Gu Mingyue to reveal her real purpose.

I couldn't help but ask, "Tell me about yourself. Just say what you want to say. Why do you have to go around in circles and not even tell me what you're going to do? You won't feel embarrassed if you brag about yourself."

Gu Mingyue said innocently, "No, I'm telling the truth, why should I be embarrassed? You're really surprised by what you've seen."

Bai Zhonghuai looked her up and down with curiosity.

Gu Mingyue said speechlessly, "What's the matter?"

"This is the first time I've seen a face thicker than a city wall. I need to study it."

"Puchi..." Bai Yanqing was amused by the conversation between the old and the young.

He smiled and said, "Mingyue, if you have any ideas, you can tell me. No matter what you want to do, Uncle Bai will do his best to help you. You have to believe that I still have this ability."

Gu Mingyue said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness. Just take care of this batch of dates for now. Don't worry, I will definitely not be polite if you need me in the future."

Bai Zhonghuai snorted softly, "My ears have suffered in vain today."

Gu Mingyue raised her head towards the Bai family and said, "Someone believes it anyway, you are just a byproduct."

After joking with the arrogant old man for a while, Bai Feng came over.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Gu Mingyue took the initiative to take her around for a walk.

On the way, Bai Feng came and expressed her thoughts, "Mingyue, what do you think about me living in your village?"

"What?!"

Gu Mingyue's shock did not change Bai Fenglai's decision.

She looked at Yixuan and Yinuo who were playing happily with Xiao Shitou in the distance, and said sadly, "I am not a competent mother. Until today, I noticed that they haven't laughed like this for a long time. To be honest, I am very favored at home, but there are not only me in the family, but also my aunt and sister-in-law.

Ever since I changed the surname of my two children to Bai, even if I was careless, I could sense that something was not right. I really had no intention of competing with my family for the family property. I just wanted the children to be disconnected from the Chen family, but no one believed me. I have learned that a married girl is like water spilled.

Even if my parents and grandpa protect me, I am still a married woman and I always live in my parents' home. In the long run, I am worried that my family will have many conflicts because of me. I don't want to make things out of control. This is also the reason why I wanted to leave before. After thinking about it, even if I go to my uncle's house, I can't avoid these problems. It's better to just stay with you. What do you think?"
