Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

After the meal, Zhao Zhen took out the ordinary feather fan sent by Wu Yong: "You two ladies, this is a new goose feather fan made in the workshop. It will come in handy in summer. You two can use one to cool off."

The two of them each took one, and Hu Sanniang fanned it twice and said, "Ms. sir, the wind created by this fan is too gentle."

Cheng Wan'er smiled and said, "Sister, how can this goose feather fan be like a straw fan? It only needs to be waved gently to create a cool breeze."

Hu Sanniang said: "I'm impatient to fan like this slowly."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen took out the three-handled first-order [Goose Tail Feather Fan] and let Hu Sanniang try it. He said: "These three-handled [Goose Tail Feather Fan] are made of first-order wild goose tail feathers. It's a pity that the material is not available." There were too many, but only four were made, one of which was given to Wu Xuexue.”

Hu Sanniang said: "It's indeed a lot cooler. Sister, let's try it too."

Cheng Wan'er took one and tried it: "It's indeed much cooler."

Zhao Zhen said: "You two each take one. When you find such good feathers, you will also make one for Bai Zhi and Cuilian. By the way, many mats made of cool bamboo have been made in the carpentry workshop. , Madam asked someone to bring it and spread it on the bed. If there are many people, such as Teacher Lin, Jiao Ting, Ruan Xiaoer, etc., they will also send a mat."

Cheng Wan'er listened, nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered Zhao Ji to see it.

Hu Sanniang said: "My lord, I have the shortest time to get started. How can I get it first? I can just use an ordinary goose feather fan. If there are good feathers in the future, I will get another one."

Saying that, Hu Sanniang put down the [Wild Goose Feather Fan] in her hand and said: "Guanren, I still need a deputy in the cavalry team. Maybe sister Hua Baoyan can take over?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "During the trip to Tai'an Mansion, I saw that she was not a person who would be content in the boudoir. It was just that Brother Hua Rong was too restrained. I have nothing to do here, but Brother Hua Rong may not be able to nod. But does she want to join the cavalry herself? "

Hu Sanniang said: "Sister from the Hua family said this on the way to Tai'an Prefecture. After coming back, she also came to the village to practice with the team twice, and mentioned it again yesterday. Although this sister from the Hua family is not as good as me in martial arts, her archery skills are But she was a first-class one, and she shot seventy-eight out of ten times. She couldn't talk to General Hua, so she came to me. General Hua and I couldn't talk, so we asked the officials to talk to Xiang."

Zhao Zhen said: "I don't want my sister from the Hua family to learn General Hua's archery skills. Tomorrow morning, take the women's cavalry with you and follow me to Jingyang Town. General Hua and I will talk it over, but I can't guarantee that it will happen." "

Hu Sanniang was naturally happy after hearing this. She put down the feather fan in her hand, went down the mountain to gather the horse team, and went to Nanda Camp for training.

Zhao Zhen had a conversation with Cheng Wan'er. Zhao Ji went to the carpenter's workshop and came back and said, "Sir, Madam, the carpenter's workshop has woven hundreds of ordinary mats. Do you want to get them all?"

Zhao Zhen said: "You have done so much? Let's go and have a look." With that, he took Cheng Wan'er to the carpenter's workshop.

When Zhao Zhen arrived, Tao Youda, the steward of the bamboo craftsmen, was in the workshop. Now, more than thirty bamboo crafts apprentices have been recruited in the workshop. The canes are still soaking, and these bamboo craftsmen are weaving mats here.

Including Tao Youda, a highly skilled bamboo craftsman, there were three people in total, and the rest were apprentices, all of whom were weaving mats on the ground.

Seeing Zhao Zhen, Tao Youda stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Official, all the prepared mats are in the warehouse. I will take out a few right now."

With that said, he called four or five apprentices by name one after another and asked them to go to the warehouse and take out ten mats.

Zhao Zhen said: "I heard from Zhao Ji that he has knitted hundreds of mats now. How can he do it so fast?"

Tao Youdao said: "Officials, making the mat is both difficult and easy. It starts from selecting bamboo, and goes through breaking the bamboo, raising the bamboo strips, passing the bamboo strips, arranging the heads, weaving, correcting the edges, returning the edges, and polishing. It can be made into a mat by ordinary weaving according to the warp and weft, and these apprentices can weave one sheet in one day.”

"If we want to weave patterns, these apprentices are not skilled enough. Only two old bamboo craftsmen, Zhang Maojin and Wang Ming, can do it. It takes three days to turn one sheet into one. Most of these mats are ordinary mats woven by apprentices. So many people are naturally quick to weave patterns." Of these, only nine patterns have been made, and three more can be completed today.”

While they were talking, five apprentices brought ten mats. When Zhao Zhen looked at them, the ten mats were different in appearance. Eight of them are the same as the mats being woven on the ground, and the other two are made of a pile of linked bamboo blocks.

Zhao Zhen was about to speak when Cheng Wan'er on the side said: "Guanshi Tao, does this mat have any meaning?"

Tao Youda heard this and quickly replied: "Madam, this bamboo mat was cut by a carpenter into bamboo blocks of the same size. He drilled two rows of holes horizontally and vertically with a hand drill. After polishing, he mixed silk with beef tendon silk and rolled it into thin pieces. It is made of ropes connected in series. This kind of mat is very hard to put on the bed and is not comfortable to sleep on. It is made according to the size of the bed, and only ten of them are made. "

"The rest are made of strips, the green ones are made of Qingmi, and the yellow ones are made of Huangmi. Qingmi is more flexible, so it's better."

With that said, he asked people to unfold the bamboo mats and let Cheng Wan'er take a closer look.

Cheng Wan'er stepped forward to take a look, then turned to Zhao Zhen and said: "Mr. Guan, look at this, it's the medicinal ingredient Angelica dahurica. This one is just right to send to sister Angelica dahurica's room. This one shows two little tigers and a fox in the room. It’s playful and naive. Is there any other way to put it in my room?”

World Log:

Cool Bamboo Mat (a different kind of cool bamboo is broken into pieces, and expert craftsmen select and weave the green pieces.)

There is a characteristic of its own material: coolness.

Tao Youda said: "There is also one with lotus and mandarin ducks, one with a mare and her calf, and the others are all with the Chinese character for happiness, copper coin patterns, and water ripples. The main surface is made of green wicker, and the patterns are woven with yellow wicker."

Zhao Zhen said: "You are thoughtful. I will reward you three with ten gold melon seeds each. I see that these ordinary mats also have clear textures, fine and firm. I will also reward the apprentices with one gold melon seed. In the future, you should learn more from the master and strive to weave textured mats as soon as possible."

The apprentices cheered after hearing this.

Zhao Zhen continued, "Manager Tao, how many mats can be woven from these bamboos?"

Tao Youda said, "I haven't calculated it carefully, but three or five bamboos can make a mat."

Zhao Zhen nodded, knowing what he was thinking, and said, "In that case, weave more while the rattan is still soaking. In addition to this large mat, weave some single mats four or five feet wide, all made of yellow bamboo, which I will use in the army."

Tao Youda listened and said, "The great official is kind. Such good things can be enjoyed by ordinary soldiers."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You don't have to envy me. After a while, when there are too many mats, they will be sold in the shop. You bamboo weavers can take one home."

Everyone smiled when they heard it.
