Transcendent Dawn - v2 Chapter 815
Latest website: Forrest Kingdom, Sealand.
This is a port city with a good deep-water port, and a large number of sailing boats are moored on the dock not far away.
Of the five famous shipyards in the Kingdom, two of them are located here.
Outside the city, there are a large number of trucks passing every day on highways leading to other places.
In a town near the city, in a house, there was a sudden cry of a baby.
“Blessed by the mother of nature, mother and child are safe…”
A black craftsman wearing a dirty workman’s uniform was praying religiously outside.
Immediately, he saw the country mother walking out with a baby: “It’s a daughter, give her a name.”
“Well… I already thought about it, if it’s a girl, it’s Jenny! Jenny Black!”
…
In the blink of time, seven or eight years passed.
Little Jenny is different from other quiet girls. She has been lively and active since she was a child. She played with the wild boys in the town, which made her father “Wick” and mother “Helia” broken.
Jenny’s father was a craftsman, and his ancestors were blacksmiths. In his generation, he had gone to the city to learn handicrafts for several years.
In addition to ironing and repairing farm tools, they also build simple machinery and even repair clocks. They are famous nearby and have a good family income.
At least, children who are hungry can’t grow so tall and run so fast.
this day.
Mrs. Helia was carrying the basket and walking out of the house, and she saw little Jenny rushing over.
She ran so fast, running through the bottom of Mrs. Helia’s skirt, and almost made her fall.
“Jenny…”
Mrs. Helia angrily said: “You should learn to be a lady, look at other girls, there is no such thing as you, even a shepherdess is more polite than you!”
She babbled and began to worry about Jenny’s future marriage.
“I don’t want to marry someone!”
Jenny dressed up like a little boy, wearing a peaked cap: “I will be a sailor in the future, an explorer and captain in the future.”
Because of the proximity to the sea, many men here choose to become sailors.
Not to mention, with the development of the navigation industry and the discovery of a series of islands, many rumors of sailors becoming rich overnight have also spread, stimulating generations of young people to the sea.
“A woman can’t be a sailor or captain!”
Mrs. Helia rolled her eyes.
“Good news! See what this is?”
At this moment, Wick Black strode back, still carrying a ham in his hand.
“Oh!”
Jenny’s eyes lit up: “Dad, shall we eat meat at night?”
“Yes, let’s have a good meal tonight.”
Wick answered with a smile, looking very happy.
“My dear, what good has happened to this?”
Helia took the ham from her husband and asked strangely.
Even if their family is wealthy in the town, ham and the like are only enjoyed during the holidays.
“The Zeeland News has published the news… confirms that the eastern colony previously discovered by the great captain Spencer is not an island, but a huge continent!”
Wick embraced Jenny excitedly: “It is very suitable for establishing tropical plantations, it is a very broad market… Although the local indigenous people are not very friendly…”
“Aboriginal? I heard that some natives in the colony look like monsters and even perform strange witchcraft… Is it true?”
Jenny asked immediately.
“Jenny!”
Helia glared at her, waiting for her husband’s follow-up.
“So… in the future, it is expected that the products that can be exported will greatly increase, and I have received another order for textile machines!” Wick said excitedly.
Although most textile machines are made of wood, there is also a demand for iron parts.
What’s more, he is not unable to do carpentry work.
“That is indeed worth celebrating.”
A smile appeared on Helia’s face: “I’m going to buy some loaves of white bread.”
In any case, it is always a good thing that the husband’s income increases.
Hearing this, even Jenny had a happy smile on her face.
…
A few days later, in the small workshop.
A small figure sneaked into his father’s studio.
Although Mrs. Helia had severely warned Jenny not to disturb her father’s work, Jenny apparently left it behind.
At this time, in the small workshop, there are tools such as lathes, hammers, wrenches, etc., which exude the smell of oil, but in Jenny’s eyes, they are like treasures.
She came to a spinning machine that had just been completed and tried it out curiously.
Looking at the spinning wheel, I feel very fulfilled.
“Who?”
Wick’s voice came suddenly.
“what!”
Jenny now remembered that she was afraid and wanted to run away.
But her body touched the spinning machine, which suddenly fell to the ground.
“not good!”
Jenny saw her father walk in, her scalp numb, and she was so frightened that she didn’t dare to move: “I got into trouble.”
“Jenny, you’re here again… Huh?”
Wick walked in and looked at the spinning machine that was still spinning, and suddenly he was stunned: “It’s down… and it’s also active. In this way… the spinning spindles can be arranged vertically in a row, which improves efficiency… Haha! Haha!”
He laughed, picked Jenny around, and kissed her on the cheek: “You are really my lucky star.”
Jenny took a long breath, as if she didn’t need to be punished for it.
She thought for a while and asked, “Dad…may I come to study?”
“Do you want to be a craftsman?” Wick was taken aback: “There are no women in the craftsmen’s guild…but… there is always no harm in learning a craft…”
He looked at the spinning machine and nodded: “Well…I allow you to learn from me.”
“Thank you Dad!”
Jenny happily kissed her father on the cheek.
…
With this idea in mind, the new spinning machine was completed very quickly and was well received by customers.
As a result, Wick was paid even more generously than before, and she smiled every day when she came back. Jenny could also enter the workshop and learn the most basic crafts.
But the good times didn’t last long.
Soon, a group of angry craftsmen surrounded her house one day and night.
“This is the person!”
“He made that tool~www.mtlnovel.com~ and made us unemployed!”
The angry crowd shouted and rushed into Jenny’s house and smashed it.
Jenny was held in her arms by her crying mother, her eyes filled with puzzlement.
“Isn’t technological progress a good thing? Why…why did it become like this?”
…
Early the next morning.
She came to the door of the smashed workshop and secretly made up her mind: “It’s not my father’s fault…”
“Jenny… let’s go!”
Wick and Helia packed a carriage, ready to leave this sad place.
“Father… I decided.”
Jenny suddenly said: “I must become a great craftsman!”
