Fragrance Fills the Building: The Brassiere is Born ( Part 6 )

Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said, "You are patient."

After a while, Zheng Lianxiang finished making a patterned chest piece and picked it up to examine it. Blushing, she asked Mu Linfeng in a low voice, "How is it?"

Mu Linfeng didn't pay attention to her expression, took it over, and said with a smile, "Although it's a bit different from what I imagined, it's not bad."

Mu Linfeng handed over the size he had just measured on Chen Yuanyuan to Zheng Lianxiang and said, "Make another one according to this size."

Then he handed the arranged sizes to the other women. Zheng Lianxiang asked curiously, "Why do we need to make so many pieces of different sizes?"

Mu Linfeng didn't know how to answer, and Chen Yuanyuan knew what he meant but just smiled without saying a word. The other women followed the instructions and didn't ask any questions, but they had some expectations in their hearts.

Mu Linfeng smiled and said, "Make ten pieces for each size first, and you will understand later." Then he left and went to check the situation of the rickshaw on Wu Xing's side.

In just a short period of time, Wu Xing's team had already made another rickshaw, which was being tested by two brothers, one sitting in the car and the other pulling it around the courtyard. Mu Linfeng asked Wu Xing, "How is it? Are there any problems with the car now?"

Wu Xing smiled and said, "Brother Feng, you don't trust me? I found out earlier that the car is too bumpy in potholes, so I immediately added shock absorbers to all the wheels of the car."

Mu Linfeng asked curiously, "Shock absorbers?"

Wu Xing explained, "It's just adding a few springs around the wheels."

Mu Linfeng smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not as good as you in this regard. Let's produce it quickly and open for business as soon as possible. We have already delayed a lot of time."

After discussing with Wu Xing, Mu Linfeng returned to Chen Yuanyuan's room and watched her and Zheng Lianxiang making the patterned chest piece.

Zheng Lingxiang is definitely a well-bred young lady, and her needlework is no less inferior to Zheng Xiyu's. Chen Yuanyuan never learned needlework when she was young, only music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Obviously, she was slightly inferior to Zheng Lingxiang, but she was still a woman, and Mulinfeng believed that she was better than him. After working for more than two hours, Chen Yuanyuan had become proficient in needlework, and Mulinfeng entrusted the task to her.

Zheng Lingxiang was responsible for embroidering some simple patterns on the chest, which couldn't compare to formal embroidery, but still added some color to the chest. The other women were responsible for weaving.

Mulinfeng saw that everyone was busy but not making much progress, and thought to himself, "This speed won't do, I need to come up with a solution."

Mulinfeng lay on Chen Yuanyuan's bed, pondering hard. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, "This should not be difficult for Wu Xing. Ha ha, it's lucky to meet him in this era. If it were just me, I probably wouldn't have developed this far."

Thinking of this, Mulinfeng instructed Chen Yuanyuan and Zheng Lingxiang to take it slowly and not to rush, lest they become frustrated and unable to produce high-quality work.

After giving the instructions, Mulinfeng went to the yard, where he saw Wu Xing idle. Wu Xing's students were already able to operate on their own, and he had already done most of the work on the rickshaw. He was just installing the remaining parts, while instructing his students on the side.

Mulinfeng was pleased to see this and called Wu Xing to the main hall. He said to Wu Xing, "Needlework is too hard on the eyes. Yuanyuan and Lingxiang have been busy for a few hours and have only made about ten pieces."

Wu Xing said, "If you're looking for me, you must have already come up with a solution."

Mulinfeng laughed and said, "You know me too well."

He then explained to Wu Xing, "You can make firearms and have already built the rickshaw, so this should not be difficult for you."

Wu Xing thought for a moment and asked, "What exactly is it?"

Mu Linfeng said, "Sewing machine."

Wu Xing jumped up in surprise and asked, "Do that?"

Mu Linfeng laughed and said, "It shouldn't be difficult, and we don't need to make an electric one. We just need to make the foot-operated kind."

Wu Xing sat down and thought for a moment, saying, "It shouldn't be difficult to make, but there's something I probably can't do." Mu Linfeng asked, "What is it?"

Wu Xing said, "It's the needle of the sewing machine. As you know, the needle of the sewing machine is different from a regular needle. But we can find a place that specializes in making needles and have them custom-made."

Mu Linfeng patted Wu Xing's shoulder and said, "Good, I'll go out now and find someone to make those needles. You can study the specific structure. As for the rickshaw, let those brothers handle it for now. They have become proficient, and you only need to supervise and do the final inspection."

After giving instructions to Wu Xing, Mu Linfeng immediately went out to the street and found a place that sold needles and thread. Mu Linfeng asked the owner, "Where are these needles made?"

The owner thought that Mu Linfeng also wanted to open a store, and since competitors are always enemies, he spoke evasively.

Mu Linfeng sensed the owner's meaning and quickly explained, "I want to order some needles, but they are not available on the market."

The owner asked curiously, "Aren't all needles just round and different in size?"

Mu Linfeng replied, "The needles I want have a flat back and the eye of the needle is at the tip."

The boss looked at Mu Linfeng in astonishment, thinking that he was either crazy or had come specifically to make him happy. But seeing Mu Linfeng's attire, he didn't seem like that kind of person.

Mu Linfeng took out ten taels of patterned silver and placed it on the table, saying to the boss, "I need a hundred of these needles. This is a deposit, and I'll give you ten more taels when they're done."

The boss's eyes widened at the silver on the table, and he readily agreed. These ten taels of silver could buy half the needles and thread in his shop. In the past, his biggest deal was only a few coins of broken silver. Moreover, he would get another ten taels when the job was done. Mu Linfeng asked the boss, "When will they be ready?"

The boss kept his eyes on the silver and casually replied, "It'll definitely be done within three days. Which government office are you from? I can send them there specially."

Mu Linfeng said, "The Mu Mansion in the south of the city. You said three days, and I'll be expecting the goods in three days."

The boss immediately guaranteed, "Three days, absolutely three days."

After finalizing the order, Mu Linfeng checked his watch and realized it was already after 5 pm. He immediately went to a restaurant and bought some pastries to bring to Chen Yuanyuan and Zheng Lianxiang. When he returned to the mansion, Wu Xing had already drawn up a preliminary blueprint and was pondering the details.

Mu Linfeng didn't want to disturb him and went directly to Chen Yuanyuan's room. Upon entering, he saw that there were already many patterned bras on the bed. This was the first time Mu Linfeng had seen so many patterned bras. He had rarely shopped with women before, especially not in a lingerie store.

Mu Linfeng handed the pastries to Chen Yuanyuan and Zheng Lianxiang, saying with a smile, "You worked so fast. Let's take a break for a while. It's already dark outside, so we don't need to work tonight. It's bad for your eyes and your spirit."

Chen Yuanyuan and Zheng Lianxiang were touched by Mu Linfeng's thoughtfulness and put down their work to eat the pastries he brought.

Mu Linfeng called a few women over, but they all put down what they were doing and dared not look at him.
