Chapter 117 The First Pair of Shoes
“Yes, we share what we have at home with our loved ones, so that we, the younger generation, can feel at ease and satisfied.
Mother, please bring some things back to fulfill Quan Xingyan's filial piety. It should be us who visit him.
But now is the busy autumn time, and we have to prepare for winter and cannot relax for a moment.
After we finish this busy period, we will go back to the Lu family to pay New Year's greetings. Mother, please take care of your health. However, if you have any difficulties in daily life, you can come to the Jiang family at any time.
Of course, if A Niang is free, she can stay at the Jiang family for a while." Forget about staying long-term. Jiang Changle would rather build a new house for the Lu family.
The Jiang family is in a perfect situation now. Without any elders putting pressure on them, they can do whatever they want and are relatively relaxed and comfortable.
"Okay, got it. Thank you, Changle."
As they were chatting, He Jing came back, but there was no sign of Xuan Qing.
"Xuan Qing left the village and went to the city. He said he was looking for some literate people to manage the workshop and keep accounts."
Before Jiang Changle asked, He Jing spontaneously told her where Xuanqing was.
There is currently no unified school in the Eastern Dynasty. If the orcs want to learn literacy and knowledge, they have to rely on family inheritance. However, these elegant wisdom inheritances are only affordable for people from aristocratic families or wealthy people.
Therefore, there are not many literate orcs, which makes Xuanqing, who comes from a scholarly family, appear very noble. If he can gather some knowledgeable people, he will also be a powerful force.
Jiang Changle nodded. The management of the workshop did require a cultured manager, since none of them had the time to teach people to read.
"Okay, then Xiaofeng and I will go to the workshop to make shoes. Bring glue, animal skins, needles and thread~"
After Jiang Changle finished eating and sent Lu's mother away, he went to work.
The first step is to process the glue. After the ratio of glue and mineral powder is adjusted, the glue is shaped using a mold. Because there is no electricity, the mold has to be calcined in a blast furnace.
Otherwise, Jiang Changle wouldn't have gone to the workshop specifically to tinker with it.
The mold for the sole is made of metal and is made according to style and size. The sole of the men's shoe is harder, while the sole of the women's shoe is softer and thicker. All sizes are available, even children's sizes.
At least the mold needs to be built together, and from now on we only need to produce the soles.
The orcs had never heard of these things, let alone seen them, so at the beginning, only Jiang Changle was busy, and Chu Weifeng occasionally helped her.
Jiang Changle was very clear about everything in her mind. She did everything in an orderly manner.
Some people do it themselves, while others arrange others to help them. All of them can operate very smoothly and naturally quickly.
Before long, she was able to make the first pair of molds according to the size of Chu Weifeng's feet, and asked Chu Weifeng and others to make the other sizes.
After the glue is mixed, it is cooled and solidified, then molded into a shape, and finally cut to make the sole.
Paste a layer of soft leather or cloth on the sole, then glue the leather upper on, and finally fix it with a circle of thread, and finally you have a pair of solid finished shoes.
The leather upper is naturally processed and dyed brown.
Thus, a pair of high-tied leather boots with rubber soles came out freshly, which stunned the orcs around.
Is this the shoe they are going to produce in the future that can be worn on the feet?
"Mr. Chu, go try it on quickly. It looks very classy. Is it comfortable to wear?" Lady Shi was more anxious than Chu Weifeng and Jiang Changle.
Song Qing laughed at the side, "What? You also want to make the first pair for Le Shoufu?"
Are these wives crazy? They simply dote on their husbands without a limit. Humph, they will suffer the consequences.
She is different. She is the one who is pregnant and giving birth to the child, so naturally the beastly husband should pamper her as his wife.
"What's wrong with giving it to me? It's Lehu who got me pregnant." In the past, Lady Shi had a bad temper and always beat and insulted her beastly husband.
But now it’s different. Lehu helped her get pregnant successfully, so she can pamper her beastly husband again and make up for all the shortcomings she had in the past.
Yes, the forty-year-old Lady Stone also became pregnant, and the females in Sour Rain Village gradually became pregnant successfully.
However, they have no plans to leave the village, because even if they go to the city, they may not be able to find a decent job and live a better life.
You know, no matter where the exiles go, they will be criticized, despised and shunned, so they might as well settle down in Acid Rain Village.
Anyway, Acid Rain Village will get better and better, and they live a prosperous life here~
"Congratulations to both pregnant mothers, but I have something to remind you. For the sake of your babies, you should not go to places with a lot of dust or strong odors.
Be especially careful with your body when working, avoid bumping into things, and go back and rest if you feel any discomfort.
Our workshop will grow bigger and bigger, and there will be plenty of positions reserved for you employees, so there is no need to rush."
Children are too precious to orcs, but in order for a smooth delivery, pregnant women still need to engage in more normal activities, so these pregnant women were not ordered to stop working.
"Huh? Changle, why do you know so much? Are you pregnant too?"
The five beastmen of the Jiang family were all marked. It was precisely because of the noise made by the Jiang couple and the influence of musk that the beastmen in the village were able to successfully conceive.
Logically speaking, Jiang Changle should be the one who is pregnant, but there is still no news of pregnancy from the Jiang family, which is really unbelievable.
"You forgot that I know medicine. It's always right to listen to the doctor." As for the pregnancy, Jiang Changle ignored it.
After all, today's goal is shoes. "Come on, Xiaofeng, try the shoes on and see if they fit. If there's anything uncomfortable, tell us and we'll make some improvements."
Jiang Changle pulled Chu Weifeng to sit down and originally planned to try the shoes on for him herself. After all, she was a shoemaker and she could tell the quality of the shoes by trying them on herself.
But Chu Weifeng didn't let Jiang Changle do it. He said that he would not let Jiang Changle suffer any injustice, even if it came from himself. "I'll do it myself."
Chu Weifeng took off his tattered straw sandals, quickly put his feet into the new shoes, and tied the laces.
"Hey, it fits perfectly, it's stable, and it's very comfortable. My feet don't feel stuffy or hot either~"
So the shoes they wore before were all fake? Chu Weifeng jumped on the ground several times, but the shoes were still firmly on his feet.
"It's so comfortable. This is real foot protection."
The first pair of rubber-soled shoes in the animal world was a successful experiment.
"Okay, then we'll mass-produce according to the different sizes. First, we'll make shoes based on the sizes of the workshop staff, and then distribute them.
There are actually many styles of shoes, especially uppers. You can decide which one you like. If it gets the approval of the majority, we will put it into mass production.”
After all, Jiang Changle is not from the beast world, so her aesthetic taste may be different. Therefore, the styles produced by the beastmen themselves can be recognized by the public and increase sales.
Of course, there is no one who doesn’t like such practical rubber-soled shoes.
But Jiang Changle has to satisfy the needs of those around him first before considering the issue of sales.
And her own shoes and the shoes of her beastly husbands must also be made today.
Make slippers for home and shoes for going out, and the shoes should be made in the same color as the furry husbands' clothes.
Otherwise, go with black, white, or brown. These colors are versatile.
