A mouthful of fried rice at a sky-high price, Old Tang apprenticed on the spot

Chapter 660
Seeing his excited inquiry, Li Yi smiled and said: "Director Zhu, don't worry, I have just started studying Yun brocade weaving. I woven this brocade with a waist machine, so I can't weave it too big.

The Tuanlong pattern has to be woven by Hualou, and I can't weave it alone. "

After hearing him talk about Hualou, Director Zhu was finally convinced that Li Yi could indeed weave brocade.

Because Hualou is the main tool used to weave Yunjin brocade, also called Huaben-style jacquard machine, which represents the highest achievement of ancient Chinese weaving technology.

The Yun brocade weaving craft was lost, on the one hand because of the death of the weaver, and on the other hand because of the disappearance of the flower building.

However, when Li Yi said that he used a waist machine to weave this brocade, Director Zhu was also very surprised: "You can weave such a complicated texture with a waist machine?"

The brocade used in this brocade pouch not only has twill weaves interlaced vertically, but also uses dyeing textures of different silk threads to weave pieces of fine flower-like textures, and the gold and silver threads inside are also intertwined, revealing flower stem-like textures.

Such a complicated pattern cannot be woven even with a modern jacquard machine, but Li Yi actually woven it with the most primitive waist machine?

"Fortunately."

Li Yi disagreed: "Jacquard looms, cage looms, and even flower towers are all improved on the basis of waist looms.

It stands to reason that if a jacquard machine can weave, a waist machine can also weave it. However, the waist machine can only control one heddle at a time, and its efficiency is definitely incomparable with that of a jacquard machine.

Moreover, the waist machine has no way to store jacquard programs with threaded flower books. It can only rely on the human brain, which is very troublesome, but it is not impossible to weave. "

Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Director Zhu nodded in agreement: "I have read in books that the Flower House weaves brocade based on flower originals. The design is so exquisite that even modern craftsmanship cannot imitate it."

Mayor Qu and others on the side were already confused after hearing this.

They didn't understand a word of the professional vocabulary that Li Yi and Director Zhu talked about, but they just didn't realize it.

Liu Yifei looked eagerly at the tips bag in Director Zhu's hand. She looked confused for a long time, and finally asked: "Boss, do you still read this tip bag?"

Director Zhu was in a lively conversation, and when he heard her words, he couldn't help but be startled.

Looking down at the kit in his hand, Director Zhu hesitated.

There was a trace of struggle in his eyes, but he still raised his hand and handed the bag back to Liu Yifei.

He looked deeply at Liu Yifei with complex eyes, then at Li Yi, and then he joked: "It seems that he really likes you! Such a precious gift was given as a gift."

Liu Yifei's face turned slightly red when she heard his teasing, and then asked curiously: "Is this tip bag very precious?"

"Of course."

Director Zhu made a six-figure sign and said with a smile: "If it were auctioned in the international market, this tip would cost six figures at least."

"what?"

Liu Yifei was surprised: "So expensive?"

“You don’t know how it’s woven?”

Director Zhu was also a little surprised. Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, he patiently explained: "The main materials of cloud brocade are gold wire, silver wire, copper wire, silk, silk, as well as peacock, kingfisher, golden pheasant and other natural birds. Animal feathers.

This kit is probably woven with silk and gold threads, that's why it's so heavy.

Judging from the weight, there should be one or two gold threads woven in this kit. These gold threads alone are worth a lot of money, let alone the weaver.

I saw a brocade handkerchief in Neon Country, which sold for 34 yuan.

That one is from the Qing Dynasty, and its quality is not as good as yours.

If your tips were auctioned according to the old objects from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it would not be an exaggeration to fetch seven figures.

But with today’s craftsmanship, it’s okay to pay a low six-figure price. "

Listening to his explanation, Liu Yifei couldn't help but take a breath.

When Li Yi gave it to her, she just thought the kit was pretty, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable.

One tael of gold is fifty grams, right?

No wonder the bag of tips felt so heavy in her hand.After looking down at the kit, she looked up at Li Yi, her eyes a little moved.

Noticing her eyes, Li Yi smiled slightly, and gave her a comforting look.

Behind Director Zhu, after listening to Director Zhu's explanation, Mayor Qu's eyes changed when he looked at Li Yi.

As the mayor of a city, he has seen a lot of rich people and faced a lot of temptations, so he has experienced them before.

But hundreds of thousands or millions in cash and gold were not as shocking as this tip.

Those corporate bosses know very well whether the money in their hands can be used cleanly.

No matter how much money there is, he doesn't think it's anything strange.

But a little tip that Li Yi made casually could be sold for a six-figure price, which really shocked him.

This is real strength!

What are the talents of those businessmen who try every possible means to defraud banks for loans and make themselves fat?
This is called eating on your own merits!

For a moment, he looked at Li Yi with more admiration, and he even thought about what to call the child.

Of course, it's Rui Rui and Li Yi's child.

Director Zhu got excited about chatting and was still talking about his experiences in Neon Country: "The most beautiful ones of our brocades collected there are made of peacock tail feathers.

That kind of brocade will reflect light in the sun, like a layer of ink, sparkling and extremely gorgeous.

Such good things were all taken away by the devils, damn..."

He spoke halfway and swallowed the remaining half.

Looking at Li Yi, he asked seriously: "When are you free? Can you go to Jinling? I'll take you to see the old site of Jiangning Weaving Mansion and introduce some friends to you."

Yun Jin appeared, and only he knew how important this news was.

He had to win over Li Yi, who could weave brocade with a waist loom, no matter what.

If Li Yi can restore Jinling Yunjin culture, this contribution will be enough to put him in the annals of history!It’s not a problem to even jump three levels of official position!
After Li Yi heard this, he thought for a moment and then readily agreed.

He has been to Jiangning Zhizao Mansion twice in the dream space, but he has not yet visited the modern site.

He will be filming "The Tip of the Tongue" later, and Jinling is also a very important stop. It will definitely be a lot more convenient to have Director Zhu help.

After nodding in agreement, he asked casually: "If I make the flower building, can I arrange a booth to put one in Jiangning Weaving Mansion?"

Upon hearing his words, Director Zhu held his breath and his pupils expanded a lot.

"Do you know how to make a flower tower?"

Director Zhu felt that his voice was trembling.

"You can try to deduce it."

Li Yi explained: "To put it bluntly, the principle of flower knitting is to increase the number of heald frames on the basis of waist knitting, while flower building uses thread-made flower books instead of bamboo flower books to store the jacquard program.

When using Hualou brocade, the pattern opening is replaced by using heddles to pull each group of warp threads, and then using loop threads to pull the warp openings.

If you know enough about brocade weaving skills and some woodworking skills, you can still reproduce it. "

Based on his current level of cloth art, he is clear enough about the weaving principles of brocade.

But in terms of the design of the flower tower machine, he was not able to design it perfectly.

But in the future, after he masters the woodworking skills, he will definitely be able to recreate the flower building.

Hearing his words, Director Zhu couldn't hold back, stepped forward and grabbed Li Yi's hand, excitedly said: "If you can reproduce the flower building machine, all the folks in Jinling will be grateful Your kindness!”
