The general is happy: the fierce wife of the peasant family is ruthless and stunning

Chapter 93

After the store name is determined, the next step is to go to the cloth shop to choose the fabrics that can be used.

Qin Ya's requirements for fabrics are not very high, but she looked at several companies, but she didn't find a suitable one.

Either the patterns are old-fashioned, or the price is as high as the sky, or the boss just asks for tens of thousands of horses.

Tiansifang has just started, and Qin Ya's budget is only 20 taels of silver, plus the rent of the shop and the expenses of the family.

It is simply impossible to afford tens of thousands of bolts of cloth.

Qin Ya was walking on the street, thinking about the source of the fabric.

But a cry interrupted his thoughts.

Qin Ya looked up, and found a young girl about twenty-eight years old kneeling in the corner of the cloth village gate, dressed in coarse cloth, with a grass flag stuck on her head.

Looking to the side, there was a human-like object wrapped in a straw mat on the ground beside it.

The people around were whispering: "Isn't this a girl from Zuo Laoliu's family? What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"What else can I do? Didn't you see that she was wearing a straw label on her head? This is a typical prostitution."

"Sell yourself?"

"I heard that Zuo Lao Liu lost all his silkworms a few days ago. He was so sad that he didn't raise his temper. This is gone, and his girl is involved. Such a beautiful person has fallen into this To the point..."

"Shh...that's really pitiful..."

"Who said it wasn't..."

The people around him sighed.

However, Qin Ya listened to the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Sericulture...

Hearing these two words, Qin Ya's eyes brightened.

Hearing this, she hurriedly walked to the side of the girl, and asked in a low voice, "The one lying next to you is your father?"

The girl's eyes were blurred with tears, and the moment she raised her head, I felt pity.

I saw her drooping eyebrows and eyes, and said in a voice: "It's my father."

"I heard your father raised silkworms?"

Qin Ya's original unintentional sentence involved the girl's sadness, and she cried even harder.

"That damned trader, he agreed to let my father use all his belongings to raise Laoshizi's silkworms, and he also said that they could be used for weaving. Who knew that after my father raised the silkworms, he disappeared. He's a murderer , this murderer..."

Qin Ya didn't know who the merchant she was talking about was.

It's just that in this day and age, there is no such thing as raising silkworms and weaving cloth. That person actually thought of this level, it seems that he is not something to be underestimated.

It's just that I don't know what happened to that person. I made an appointment with the girl's father to raise silkworms and harvest the silk, but the person came late.

"Well, you don't have to sell yourself to bury your father. I'll buy all the silkworms you raised."

What Qin Ya said made the girl stare at her with wide eyes in shock, and she was speechless for a while.

Nowadays, people don't know the function of silkworm breeding, not to mention that in the eyes of girls, those silkworm chrysalis are a bunch of terrible things, never expecting that Qin Ya, who looks rich in clothes, would be willing to pay for them.

"Is sister really serious?"

The girl couldn't help asking questions.

"Of course it's serious. I'll buy as much as you have. According to the price negotiated between your father and the vendor, it's worth a penny."

Qin Ya's words were like a girl's savior, and she quickly ignored the obstruction, kowtowing to Qin Ya on the street a few times to thank Qin Ya.

Under Qin Ya's care, he ordered a coffin for his father, discussed the cemetery, and found someone to bury and worship.

The girl took Qin Ya back to her home.

That place is not so much a home as a shed in a barren mountain, which is similar to what Li Chenggu lived in when he was looking at the orchard in Yunding Village.

The girl opened the door familiarly and led Qin Ya into the house.

Everywhere you look, there are chrysalis formed by silkworms, of various colors, colorful, and the most white ones inside.

Qin Ya's eyes were dazzled, but her heart was incomparably overwhelmed.

She seemed to see piles of silk flying towards her.

Nowadays, people don't know how to weave silk from silkworm chrysalis to make silk, they just treat it as some useless bugs, but now that she has encountered so many silkworms, she has made a lot of money.

After the two of them settled the accounts, they had to pay the girl 12 taels of silver in total.

Qin Ya was very happy this time, and took her directly to the house to get the silver, and asked Sister Zhao and Liu to go with them to get the silkworm chrysalis.

On the way, Qin Ya shared with them the magical effect of silkworm chrysalis.

Soak the silkworm cocoons in hot soup, draw the silk by hand, wind it on the silk basket, and become the raw material for weaving silk.

Basins and baskets are the most primitive silk reeling tools. One silkworm cocoon can extract about 1000 meters of cocoon silk, and several cocoon silks are combined to form raw silk.

Everyone was amazed.

After taking the silkworm chrysalis home, Qin Ya contacted a weaving workshop and signed a deed to let the weaving workshop be in charge of the silk production process.

The finished silk was delivered directly to the mansion, and Qin Ya and the others began to tailor and sew according to the body.

Since everyone didn't quite understand the effect Qin Ya wanted at the beginning, they took a lot of detours. Fortunately, these people are also studious.

So Qin Ya taught them how to print, dye and color silk.

Because the production method of silk is different from that of ordinary fabrics, it can be roughly divided into two types: raw weaving and cooked weaving: raw weaving, that is, the warp and weft silk is made into fabric without refining and dyeing, which is called gray silk, and then processed Refining and dyeing gray silk into finished products.

This production method is low in cost and short in process, and is the main method used in silk weaving production.

"Sister Qin, we all understand this, but what do you mean by anti-staining?"

The owner of the weaving workshop is a widowed woman who raises two children alone.

But she is a capable woman. Although businessmen are not popular nowadays and women are not allowed to show their faces, she still supports the entire weaving workshop by herself.

Qin Ya heard that she didn't understand anti-dyeing, so she explained: "When printing, it is necessary to carry out anti-dyeing, that is, to print "anti-white" pulp or "color anti-" pulp on silk fabrics according to the pattern, and then dye them after drying. The pattern part has "anti-white" pulp or "color-proof" pulp with anti-dyeing agent, which will not be dyed, while the rest of the color is completely colored."

As soon as she explained it like this, the boss of the weaving workshop understood.

"What does Sister Qin mean, is that a piece of cloth can be dyed different colors?"

The boss understood, but was shocked.

The current fabrics are all of the same color, and this is the first time Qin Ya has heard of the idea of ​​a piece of fabric having different colors.

"That's what I mean. The difficulty is actually not that big. The main thing is the anti-staining process. As long as you do this process well, there will be no problems later."

In fact, if you want to dye a piece of cloth in different colors, it is not difficult to operate except for a little trouble.

People nowadays mainly don't want to understand the key points. With Qin Ya's suggestion, the boss quickly dyed a piece of red and white colored silk as required.

The color is gorgeous, coupled with the soft texture of silk, it should only be found in the sky, and how often can it be smelled in the world.
