Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 389 Liu Er's Explanation

Li Er and the others curiously picked up a handful of quick-dried wool, put the wool in the palm of their hand, rubbed it, it was indeed very comfortable, and it was still a little warm.

"Why does this wool feel a little warm to the touch?" Changsun Wuji asked curiously.

Zheng Liuer explained with a smile: "Because wool has a very good thermal insulation effect, after touching the human body temperature, the wool retains a little body temperature."

Li Er and the others all nodded as if I had been educated.

"After the wool is air-dried, it is dyed and then air-dried." Zheng Liuer led everyone to another yard.

There are colorful dyeing vats here, and many women are dyeing wool and re-drying the dyed wool.

"And then? After the dyed wool is dried, can it be used directly to make sweaters?" The eldest grandson asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, there is still one step left, which is to turn the last dried wool into wool, and finally knit it into a sweater with straight needles." Zheng Liuer introduced.

"Then continue with the introduction."

"Yes, everyone, please go to the weaving room with the little girl."

Zheng Liuer led everyone to the weaving room again. There were dozens of weaving machines in the room. Those female workers were constantly turning sweaters into wool, and they wove balls of wool.

Zheng Liu'er picked up one of the balls of red wool and said, "After the wool turns into wool, it should not be messy. You must roll the wool into a ball of wool, which is convenient for storage and knitting."

After everyone watched curiously for a while, Zheng Liuer said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's take everyone to the knitting room, where the sweaters will finally be made."

She took the lead, followed by Li Er, Changsun and others. Wang Ping'an was abandoned to the end. Today they saw what is called the process of turning waste into treasure, and they are going to see the treasure soon, and they are still a little excited.

In the knitting room, a middle-aged woman was explaining the key points of knitting to a group of people, and a group of people were chatting while knitting sweaters, scarves, gloves and other finished products. They were very happy talking and laughing. The meaning of shutting up.

Li Er, Changsun and the others were immediately overwhelmed by this scene.

Zheng Liuer blushed and felt very embarrassed, while Wang Pingan looked at the staff helplessly.

"Cough cough..."

Zheng Liu'er coughed hard a few times, trying to make them shut up, but it didn't work.

Wang Pingan shook his head helplessly, took a step forward and explained to Li Er and the eldest grandson, "Your Majesty, please don't be offended, because knitting sweaters is a very boring thing. If you don't talk and laugh with other people, I'm afraid They won't be able to take it in a few days."

At this time, Li Er had already noticed that although the women were talking and laughing, their hands were moving without stopping for a moment, and he couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.Now after listening to Wang Ping'an's explanation, my heart suddenly understood.

The eldest grandson said: "Ping An, can they conjure a piece of clothing by twisting their hands like this?"

"Yes, now we can only weave sweaters by hand, and the speed is a bit slow. It can take as little as three days for a piece of clothing, and as long as five days, or as many as seven days." Wang Pingan said.

"Why is this?"

"Because they are all newbies, and there are many stitches for knitting wool sweaters, everyone is currently groping. So the speed is affected, and the style is relatively simple." Wang Pingan explained again.

At this time, a woman finished knitting a red scarf and shouted excitedly: "I've finished knitting a scarf."

Zheng Liuer immediately went forward to fetch the scarf, checked it carefully, and said with great satisfaction: "I will take this towel first, and I will remember the commission for you."

After speaking, he went to the eldest grandson and offered it with both hands, saying: "Your Majesty, empress, this is the scarf that has just been knitted, please have a look."

The eldest grandson curiously picked up the red woolen scarf that had just been woven, looked it up and down, and even pulled it hard with his hands, but it didn't stop.

Returning the scarf to Zheng Liu'er, he asked, "Liu'er, this scarf doesn't look like a piece of clothing, how do you use it?"

"Returning to your mother, this scarf is used to wrap your neck. It is most suitable for going out in the cold winter. You can use it like this, and you can use it like this..."

Zheng Liuer took the scarf with both hands, and said while demonstrating.After a while, the scarf was gently turned around the neck twice, and after a while, the scarf was also used to cover the face, and the purpose of the scarf was brought into full play.

"I finished the glove."

"I finished the wool pants."

"I'm done with foot covers."

"I finished the sweater."

"I also finished the sweater."

"..."

The eldest grandson and the others had just figured out the purpose of the scarf, and suddenly many people were weaving the finished woolen products in their hands.

Zheng Liuer collected them one by one, and remembered who completed what one by one, and the wages would be calculated at that time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and all the adults, let's sit outside in the dean's room. Liu'er will introduce the uses of these woolen products in detail." Zhen Liu'er held a pile of clothes and said shakingly.

"Alright." Li Er finished.With a wave of his hand, two guards helped Zheng Liuer take away all the clothes.

"Thank you." Zheng Liuer called softly very politely.

Everyone followed Zheng Liu'er to the dean's room, and when they found that the road was covered with blessing characters and many red lanterns were hung, they all smiled heartily.

After the guard put the sweater and trousers on a table, he stood back behind Li Er and performed his duties as a guard.

Li Er and the eldest grandson sat in the first seats, and then motioned for the others to sit down as well. After Xie En sat down, everyone stared at Zheng Liuer.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Zheng Liu'er picked out a sweater suit from the pile of finished wool products on the table.

The sweater set consists of scarf, woolen sweater, gloves, woolen trousers, anklets and hat.She arranged the five items top to bottom and posed in a pose that looked like someone was wearing the suit.

Wang Pingan told her that this is called display, which will give people the illusion that such clothes are very good, and they are placed in the store to attract customers.

Everyone was also attracted by Zheng Liuer's arrangement, and they were all amazed.

Du Ruhui asked: "Miss Liu'er, it's miraculous how you arrange it like this, it makes me feel like someone is standing in front of me."

"Old Du, don't change the subject, let Miss Liu'er introduce the function of these clothes." Cheng Yaojin shouted shamelessly.

Du Ruhui just smiled and didn't say anything. They all knew Cheng Yaojin didn't have any malicious intentions, but just had a bad mouth. Li Er was also speechless about it.

Zheng Liuer was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do?Did he take Du Ruhui's words?Or listen to Cheng Yaojin's words.

Wang Pingan couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only help: "Liu'er, take a look at how many sweaters are still on the table, and get a set for your majesty, empress, and other adults. Let them wear it by themselves while you talk."

Zheng Liu'er understood Wang Ping'an's words very quickly, and immediately put out three more sets of sweaters on the table, and added two sets of gloves, anklets and scarves, except for the sweaters and woolen trousers.

She sent two sets of them to Li Er and the eldest grandson, the other set to Du Ruhui, and the rest of the footwear and gloves to everyone present, except Cheng Yaojin.

In an instant, Cheng Yaojin's nose was bent in anger, and he wanted to get angry but didn't dare to do so. Li Erzheng stared at him with protruding eyes.

The others covered their mouths and sniggered, how could they not laugh when they finally saw Cheng Yaojin deflated.

Wang Pingan sat in front of him and said softly, "Uncle Cheng, don't take it to heart, my nephew has prepared five sets for you, and I will send them to you during the Chinese New Year."

Cheng Yaojin felt happy when he heard the words, and said softly: "You brat still has a conscience, I don't care about that little girl."

"Thank you Uncle Cheng." Wang Pingan thanked quickly.In my heart, I rolled my eyes at him.

"Cough cough..."

Two dry coughs interrupted the chat between Cheng Yaojin and Wang Ping'an.

When the two of them saw Li Er's cannibalistic eyes, they immediately shut up obediently, and began to listen to Zheng Liuer's introduction attentively. But before the two of them had looked at each other, Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows, with a sense of understanding .

Zheng Liuer talked about the use of wool socks from hats to foot covers, and finally explained how to clean them and how to store them.

Everyone listened with gusto, especially when they learned the purpose of gloves and socks, and they refused to take them off after they put them on. You must know that it is winter and your body is very warm, but your head, hands and feet are very cold, especially your feet. , It's been freezing cold all the time, and it hasn't been warmed up all winter.

Zheng Liu'er didn't expect these ministers to be so greedy for petty gain, they took his own gloves and socks and refused to return them.

There was another one that was even more hateful, the whole set was taken away, which made her hate Du Ruhui.You said that the emperor and the queen took it away, so why should you take it away.

In fact, this can’t be blamed on the other party. The weather is really too cold, and there are not many things in this society that can resist the cold. After finally encountering it, how could they miss it, especially things like gloves and socks.

But Zheng Liu'er couldn't understand, she looked at Wang Ping'an with resentment, hoping that Wang Ping'an could help her get back.

Wang Pingan could only helplessly spread his hands and shrugged, expressing that he had no choice.

"Haha... well, it's really great. Putting on woolen socks and gloves, the feet are not cold, and the hands are warm. Especially the gloves. Wearing these woolen gloves, you can rest your hands without feeling at all, very Soft, and the five fingers are not affected." Li Er smiled happily.

The eldest grandson also said happily: "Although it is not, having this sweater made of wool will not only benefit the people, but also benefit the country. The concubine thinks that Wang Ping'an and Zheng Liu'er should be rewarded greatly."
