Chapter 748: One Million Anti-epidemic Protective Gears(2/2)
After thinking about it, Li Mengxi solemnly said to Mrs. Liu, "Aunt Liu, please call on some people and start making masks in the next few days.
The quantity is large and we need to make one million pieces. I will bring the cloth later."
After saying that, Li Mengxi left.
Ms. Liu picked up the mask in her hand and looked at it. Although the masks were simple, there were millions of them and how much cloth was needed. Ms. Liu was very surprised.
Li Mengxi went to the Zizhong warehouse and asked people to load all the cloths he could find in the warehouse and take them to the women's and children's camp.
There were more than fifty carts loaded with cloth. Li Mengxi didn't know if this many carts of fabric would be enough to make masks. If not, he would have to collect the rags of civilians.
When dozens of carts of fabrics were delivered to the women's and children's camp, it was the first time for embroiderer Lady Liu to receive such a large amount of supplies. Worried about poor care, Lady Liu hurriedly came to see Li Mengxi.
Mrs. Liu came and talked a lot. In short, she said that someone else should be found to take care of the cloth.
Li Mengxi thought about it. There was not enough cloth to begin with. If the care was not good, the women would pull and steal while working, which would make the already scarce supplies even worse.
Thinking of this, Li Mengxi decided to let the soldiers be responsible for distributing the cloth, and let the soldiers be responsible for keeping watch to prevent corruption.
After the problem was solved, Ms. Liu hesitated and asked another question. She asked, "Military advisor, have you brought all the fabrics? Aren't there a lot of people coming to our place recently? Every time someone comes, don't they have to make something for the little dolls?"
Clothes? If the cloth is gone, why don’t we still make clothes?”
Li Mengxi still couldn't remember this matter without Ms. Liu reminding him. He suddenly remembered that making clothes for poor people was an important measure to win people's hearts, and he couldn't give up on it.
After thinking about it, Li Mengxi had no choice but to take the twenty carts of fabrics back to the warehouse for storage.
Liu's reminder saved a major mistake. Li Mengxi immediately took out the pen from the pen holder at his waist, took out a piece of five-color silk from his waist, cut the silk with a knife, and wrote on the silk fifty kilograms of grain.
This serves as Liu's reward for speaking out.
He handed the silk to Ms. Liu, who happily accepted it.
At this time, Li Mengxi suddenly remembered about the masks. He asked Mrs. Liu curiously, "Aunt Liu, those two masks are sewn very well. Is it your idea or something?"
Ms. Liu answered honestly, "The sisters came up with a solution together."
Li Mengxi couldn't help but said, "Next time, remember it. Remember whoever comes up with the idea. No matter how ordinary the method is, you have to tell me what you remember. If you don't tell me, how will I know?"
As he spoke, Li Mengxi took out a long piece of silk, cut it into many sections with a knife, and wrote ten kilograms of grain on each section.
He handed a dozen military coupons to Mrs. Liu and asked her to go back and distribute them to the women who came up with ideas.
Mrs. Liu happily accepted the military ticket and thanked the women again and again.
When Ms. Liu returned to the tent, the women were busy talking and laughing. Ms. Liu handed out the military tickets one by one in a circle, giving one to each person.
Seeing that the women were a little confused, Ms. Liu gave a brief explanation, saying that when making the masks, everyone came up with ideas and the military advisor rewarded them.
The women looked at the small military tickets in their hands and smiled happily.
Masks are not difficult to make, but activated carbon masks are difficult to make. Without the collective efforts of women, there would be no way to finalize the mask technology so quickly.
