The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 92 The whole family is weaving wool

Before the list was released, Xianyue Village sent someone to send a basketful of woolen balls.

Song Yaxin picked up the ball of wool and said pleasantly, "Hey! You can really make a thread! But how do you use such a thick thread?"

"Well—" Song Qingyue pondered, "Let's dye it first, this color looks greyish-yellow and grayish-yellow, it doesn't look good."

Song Yuxi said, "Then let's go to the dyeing workshop tomorrow and choose some colors."

Early the next morning, the three sisters went to the largest dyeing workshop in the west of the capital to choose colors and asked the price.Now the new batch of silkworm cocoons have not yet been raised, and the cotton will not be harvested until autumn, which is the most leisure time for the dyeing workshop.

The owner of the dyeing workshop was surnamed Fang, who was a well-known imperial merchant in the capital, and the Fang family was related by marriage to a side branch of the Meng family.

So the Fang family heard that the quasi-prince concubine of King Su's mansion, the third daughter of Song Gelao and her two elder sisters wanted to come to the dyeing workshop to dye a batch of goods, and the head mother, Fang Da, came out to receive them in person.

Mrs. Fang picked up the woolen thread, glanced at it, and said, "This is...wool?"

"Mrs. Fang has good eyesight!" Song Qingyue really wanted to give her a thumbs up, "This dyeing workshop has a lot of dyed cotton and all kinds of silk. Why can Mrs. Fang even recognize wool?"

Mrs. Fang explained: "Miss Song San doesn't know something. In fact, in winter, we also do some dyeing business of wool and cow hair. Naturally, we recognize it. But I have only seen wool felt and cow wool felt, and I have never seen one. that weaves wool into thread."

"So that's the case, so it shouldn't be difficult to dye this wool? How long will it take?"

Mrs. Fang said conveniently: "If the weather is like this, it will take about five days, but if it is summer, maybe four or three days will be enough."

Song Yuxi asked impatiently: "Then we'll pick the color today, and we can pick it up in five days?"

Mrs. Fang shook her head slowly, and said with a smile: "It depends on what kind of color you choose. This season, our dyeing workshop doesn't have much business, so some colors may have to be ready and made, so the time may not be more than five days. gone."

Song Qingyue nodded and said: "It's okay, this time we just want to try it first, if there is a chance in the future, I'm afraid there will be a lot of troubles for Mrs. Fang."

"Miss Song San, you are welcome. If you need anything, just give me an order, and I will make arrangements for you properly." Mrs. Fang saluted respectfully.

On the day when the list was released, Fang's dyeing workshop happened to deliver the dyed wool.

Mr. Song was wearing a sky-blue taoist robe embroidered with bamboo patterns, and a black scarf on his head. He brought some young masters and Juzimen, who lived at home, to sit in the main hall drinking tea and other news. Sitting in the side hall with a tulle screen, learning how to knit with Song Qingyue, which made the young men who had not yet married were extremely nervous.

Although the three older girls of the Song family have already married, but who doesn't know that the three Song girls all look like gods, and it's great to have a long face in front of beautiful girls. If they don't pass the exam, Wouldn't it be shameful to throw it in front of the female relatives?

Song Qingyue is also not very good at learning, she only knows a few of the simplest stitches. At the beginning, it took a lot of effort just to learn how to start stitches, how to change lines, and how to finish with her grandma, let alone knitting patterns.

Liang's hands are dexterous, and he mastered it as soon as he learned it. After playing for a while, the wool produced by Song Qingyue is neater than Song Qingyue's.

Song Yaxin and Song Yuxi also learned very quickly, but just like Song Qingyue, the weaving was not neat and looked crooked, but this kind of thing made perfect with practice, it was a bit like knitting, but it was a little more complicated than knitting.

Mrs. Cao was also knitting wool in her hands, and said with a smile: "That's good. If it can be made into clothes for autumn and winter to keep warm, easy to weave, and easy to weave, how did our third girl grow up? You can be a Jinshi!"

Song Qingyue waved her hands again and again: "I can't even pass the examination of scholar, Aunt Cao, don't praise me."

The whole family laughed, not at all nervous that they should be on the day when the scientific examination results are announced.
