How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 67 The first loom in the village
Early the next morning, Yu Sucen got up with great expectations.

Under the leadership of Chen Qiliang and Zhao Yamen, he wandered along the village road full of dust.

After walking at the edge of the village, he saw Chen Feiyan's figure at a glance.

She was seen wearing a clean black cotton top and a six-pleated skirt.

Just sitting in a relatively empty yard.

Seeing that the courtyard wall was more than one meter high, Yu Sucen said: "This family is quite capable. They actually built a new courtyard."

After Chen Qiliang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Isn't she more than this?"

"Look at the thing she is tinkering with, it seems to be a loom! If her family really builds a loom, she can earn at least four or five taels of silver from selling it. If she leaves it to her family, she will slowly Thinking about it, I will be able to weave homespun cloth in the future, and my income should be half a tael."

Hearing this, Zhao Yamen suddenly said: "It turns out that this woman is a golden hen that can lay golden eggs!"

After hearing this, Yu Sucen secretly disliked him.

I think he is really a rough guy who has never read a book.

……

At this moment, Chen Feiyan was taking advantage of the sky outside to study the structure of the loom in front of her.

There is no iron nail on this kind of earth loom.

It's all connected by mortise and tenon joints.

Mortise and tenon structure, quite strong and durable.

The loom was very large, seven feet long and eight feet high.

There are a total of 12 iron rings on it.

These pieces of wood and iron rings cost her nearly two taels of silver.

If she couldn't complete all the structures of the loom quickly, she would be losing money every day.

Chen Feiyan stepped on the pedal hard and gently turned the machine gear a few times, and the iron ring on the loom made a clattering sound.

Weaving has been a delicate skill since ancient times.

Its process is quite complex and cumbersome.

First of all, it has to go through the processes of picking cotton seeds, playing cotton, twisting, spinning, turning, winding, warping, and weaving.

Among them, the warping process is the most critical.

The Weaver Girl must calculate the number of warp threads in advance, and there can be no mistakes.

As long as she masters every procedure clearly, she won’t have to buy anything from outside for everything she wears at home.

It’s all done by my own family.

Homespun is coarse cloth.Many of them slowly weave linen clothes with hemp thread.

……

Wang Yingying never thought in her life that her sister-in-law would be so smart and capable.

She told her and drew what the loom looked like, and her sister-in-law was able to piece together the loom based on her feelings.

However, one person still cannot fully control this loom.Still have to call another person to help.

Especially when it comes to warping.

Wang Yingying was in the yard, using the wooden pole horizontally as a support.

The many small iron hoops on the wooden pole support are used to thread cotton threads.

The cotton threads wrapped around the stalks now come in five colors: red, blue, dark brown, brown, and green.Wang Yingying directed her man and son to help her.

So, under the curious eyes of many villagers, Wang Yingying and Chen Feiyan hurriedly threaded and smoothed the threads, and then passed all kinds of thin threads through the thing called a cauldron one by one.

This pot is made of waxed cotton rope.

Two strands of cotton rope are crossed up and down, and the thin thread of the weaving cloth passes through the middle.

Then the pot and spool were placed on the loom. Chen Feiyan sat on the loom and started weaving immediately with her hands and feet.

After Chen Feiyan started weaving this time, Wang Yingying began to tell her bit by bit the precautions for weaving.

"Sister-in-law, this weaving craft has been passed down among our people for many years. It has a history of thousands of years!"

"This weaving process seems simple, as if it is just weaving warp and weft threads. However, the process is extremely complex."

“From picking cotton threads to weaving on the machine, it must go through ginning, springing, spinning, threading, starching and dyeing, chaotic threads, falling threads, warp threads, brushing threads, making heddles, breaking out, pulling out heddles, and hanging. There are 72 processes including loom, bolting, weaving, and sewing."

Chen Feiyan listened carefully, and the children on the side, as well as Chen Yixuan, listened even more seriously.

It's a good way to make money.

Too many skills don't overwhelm the body.Now that I have learned it, when I can’t go out in winter, I can do it at home!

Thinking that the house was not enough and the family had to add beams to the new house and build a large house of more than 30 square meters next to it, Chen Yixuan thought about it, where would he get the money?

Borrow money?Who can I borrow it from?Is it okay to go find his biological aunt?
When Chen Yixuan was distracted, Wang Yingying continued: "Sister-in-law, our family will definitely grow cotton in the future, and then weave cotton cloth. The first process is simple, but the last process of weaving cotton is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive. .”

"There are three major processes in weaving cotton cloth. Spinning, weaving and dyeing and finishing. Spinning and weaving use mechanical methods to process textile fibers into yarn. Weaving and dyeing use alum and dyes..."

When Chen Feiyan heard Wang Yingying talking about weaving, her eyes shone brightly and her expression was high. She immediately realized that she really liked this.

Thinking of how rich her family used to be, Chen Feiyan suddenly stood up, as if on stimulants, and held her hand with a glowing face.

"Sister-in-law, I think we can definitely achieve great results in the future!"

"As long as we are willing to work hard in this area, spend some time and energy, we can expand reproduction. We can get rid of poverty and become rich. With money, we can also help ourselves realize our dreams..."

"..." Seeing that Chen Feiyan was so excited, as if she had suddenly found the direction of her life, Chen Yixuan, who was standing aside, suddenly coughed violently.

"Daughter-in-law, I support you!"

Chen Feiyan felt even happier when she saw him encouraging her.

She thought to herself that this man had a pretty good character.

He didn't pour cold water on her or suppress her.

"Dad, this is our common home, and we will all make money for the family in the future. Have you learned what my sister-in-law taught me step by step just now?"

As Chen Feiyan said this, she asked Chen Yixuan to sit on the long bench of the loom.

"Daddy, sit down now and I will teach you step by step. I guarantee you will learn it. Master the weaving skills thoroughly."

Chen Yixuan's family gets along happily.

Those people peeking outside the yard have firmly remembered the appearance of the first loom in the village in their hearts.

At this moment, the village chief Chen Qiliang, who looked down on Chen Yixuan's family, secretly thought in his heart, "I didn't expect that Chen Yixuan's brother and sister-in-law have such magnanimity and ability?"

She can make a loom herself, and she is willing to teach her sister-in-law her living skills of weaving... No wonder Chen Yixuan was willing to spend money on them and give them food to eat!

He had a vague feeling that Chen Yixuan's family would get rich in the future, and he suddenly started talking to himself.

"Is it true that good people are rewarded?"
