Thousands of years

Chapter 27 Waxed Slippery Silk Wearing Warp and Weft Heald Healds are Complete

Sister An Liu has to think twice about even taking the scorpion out of the clear water tank, for fear that she will disturb the master and affect the preparation for the twisting.

Stepping down gently, both hands held the silk thread that was soaked in water and entangled on the pan. The sixth sister even refused to let the water "tick" to the ground, which shocked the master who needed to do things quietly.

Looking up at her apprentice, Mrs. Li just felt so cute, she couldn't help but chuckled: "Sixth sister, don't be so careful, how many years Master has been weaving, as long as he doesn't say anything to you, he can count clearly .”

It could be seen that the sixth sister was afraid that she would be affected by making the slightest sound, so the master's subordinates counted to 26, so while she didn't have to re-count because of the wrong number, she talked with her apprentice about these two or three things. sentence.

My master found out what was going on in my mind, and the sixth sister was a little embarrassed, she nodded silently, and hurriedly turned her head to shake her hands.

When Mrs. Li's weaving heddle is done properly, the master and apprentice can pull the warp thread and make the final preparations before weaving.

This progress sounds fast enough, but at least three or five days have passed since moving to this new shop. After calculation, it is not short. Seeing that it is going to be in the summer of April, it is no wonder that the two Don't dare to delay for a moment.

"I heard that Mrs. Li's Zhiluo shop has moved here. In the early years, I had to go around half of the city to buy it. Now it's easy..." Daimei Zhukou, full of Luoqi, if Just looking at these, she should be the wife of some rich family.

It's just that the lacquered wooden ruler with both flat-ground mother-of-pearl and colorful paintings in her hand clearly exposed the identity of this lady--this lady runs a good-selling ready-made clothing shop in Shixifang by herself, and she really made money from her craftsmanship. A lot of money.

"It's a pity that Mrs. Li's Luo now neither takes advantage of style nor cheapness. Even if you buy it, the clothes you make may not be pleasing."

The lady who was traveling with me sighed, "That's you, you only care about the quality, and you want this, otherwise Mrs. Li's shop will not be able to continue!"

Hearing what my friend said, the lady who spoke first with a wooden ruler in her hand just smiled: "When buying clothes, you still have to wear them comfortably. Why can't you just look for luxury? What this Luo Yi wants is that elegant Zen."

Many literati in Lin'an City often discuss Taoism with the monks in the temple and practice Zen. Nowadays, the fancy Luo is not as pleasing as it was in the past, but the simple and elegant Hengluo makes people buy more.

The tailoring shop wished the fourth wife's words, which made the lady in the same company feel ashamed - the border of my skirt was painted and printed with gold. Although it is also a fashionable style now, it seems exaggerated now.

"I'll go and have a look when I come back. As long as the quality is good, I don't need to make ready-made clothes to sell, or I can buy them for my own use." I wish Si Niangzi could do this. The material sighs.

The plain silk is slender, and the people who come and go think about it.It should be after three springs, especially for old clothes.It is not difficult to weave this thread, and it may be called a rare perseverance in the depression without changing the fineness.

They all ate with their handicrafts. I wish the fourth lady would reach out to save her if she had the spare energy. It was not in vain the compassion she heard from monks and Taoists, and it was also the kind heart of ordinary people not to be blinded by gold and silver.

"Sixth sister, go to the wooden box in the southeast corner and get the wax block. Put the wax on today, and then you can have a rest."

Seeing that Tuer had already put the shaken tube into the wooden basin filled with water, Mrs. Li began to arrange the follow-up work.

"After waxing, it can make the thread smoother, so that the shackle body line won't get stuck..."

The orange twilight is dyed on the warp thread, and the appearance of the master and the apprentice is printed as a pattern, which is very warm.
