Chapter 357 Brushing
"The snow is still young, and a snowman has been built. Will the pile of kittens or fish be okay?" Jiang Rongan felt sorry for his daughter and was reluctant to refuse her request.

"Okay, Daddy, let's go, go!" Once excited, he spoke like an ordinary child, Guoguo patted Jiang Rongan's arm, very excited.

Gu Qingya listened on the sidelines, feeling a little helpless, "It's fine if you want to go out and play, just put on your coat, or you'll cry if you get cold."

"Mother, come and play with me too." Guoguo asked Gu Qingya to put on her clothes obediently, belatedly inviting.

"I don't want it." Gu Qingya scratched Guoguo's little nose, "You've been tired of playing with mother for a long time, and you just want to cling to your father, so I won't join in the fun."

Jiang Rongan brought a small hat for her daughter to put on, then lifted her up and put it on her shoulders, "Let's go."

Guoguo was very happy on his shoulders, moving her hands and feet.

After thinking about it, Gu Qingya went to see what happened to the cloth woven from the grass cotton. The thread was spun by Aunt Ting, and the cloth was started by Gu Qingya. Afterwards, Cheng Shui and Aunt Ting took it and did not let her hands on.

After doing the math, it should be enough to weave one piece. The thickness and feel are indeed very comfortable. Compared with other cotton fabrics woven with the same proportion, they are not so hard.

However, before brushing, there are still many processes to be done. In fact, this winter is not suitable for things like desizing and rinsing.

However, on a small scale, it can still be done.

Gu Qingya roughly selected a piece of cloth that could be used as a blanket for children, and after processing it sequentially according to the instructions, it would take several days to get up the fleece.

But those few days were not just waiting. The brushing tools had to be checked again and again. Although it was completely done according to the book, the result is still unknown.

Jiang Rong'an has been reading the county annals for the past few days, and Guoguo is with him, she doesn't make trouble, and can have fun by herself.

So Gu Qingya put all her thoughts on the cotton cloth, and when Jiang Rongan discovered the strange tool, she could intuitively understand what Gu Qingya was going to do.

"Miss, are you sure you want to use this to bind the cloth?" Jiang Rongan looked at the dense nails on the round stick. Wouldn't this really make holes in the cloth?

"It was made according to the book, don't talk on the sidelines, I don't know what to do." Gu Qingya said a little depressed.

Seeing this, Jiang Rong'an hurriedly shut up, but he was still very curious, so he stood aside and did not leave.

Cheng Shui didn't dare to raise her head, and went about her own business quietly, trying to minimize her sense of existence. She had no idea that the master was going to do such a weird experiment, so it was better for her not to say anything.

According to the book, something that can set the rotating shaft makes the stick and the fixed cloth rotate, and the curved needle on the top that is in the same direction as the movement of the cloth penetrates into the cloth, cutting off part of the thread and stirring up the fluff, while the other part on the stick This curved needle, which opposes the movement of the fabric, will smooth out the fluff.

It looks simple, but it is not so easy to do, especially the tool is rough, and the napping is not so smooth.

After a period of turmoil, Gu Qingya took a look, and found that some places were smooth, while others were not, and there was even a big hole in one place, which was quite depressing.

Jiang Rong'an was surprised at first, but after observing for a while, he understood the principle of this thing, so he simply took over Gu Qingya's business.

Maybe it's because men have a natural sensitivity and sense of operation when it comes to machinery. Compared with Gu Qingya's flurry, Jiang Rong'an is as stable as Mount Tai. Whether it's speed or strength, he can control it very well.

Gu Qingya went up to look at the fleece that Jiang Rong'an pulled out, and felt a sense of powerlessness. It was obviously the same tool and the same technique, so why did the two make it differently?

"My lady, how are you doing? Has it achieved the desired effect?" Jiang Rongan felt very interesting and looked forward to it.

Gu Qingya nodded, "It's much better than I thought, is it really not a tool problem but a human problem?"

Hearing Gu Qingya's words, Jiang Rong'an couldn't help being a little funny, "Lady, you think too much, this thing is heavy, and your wrist is not strong enough, so naturally you can't turn it."

"In the future, we men should be called to do this kind of rough work." Jiang Rongan thought for a while, "If you are not in a hurry, ma'am, if you make these by hand or foot, it will not be so hard for you to operate. .”

Gu Qingya nodded, "Since this is the case, you can tie up the rest. After waiting, I will dye it. You can draw some patterns on it and give it to Guoguo."

When Jiang Rongan heard this, a deep smile welled up in his eyes, "My lady, do I have a share?"

"I can do without you, work quickly." Gu Qingya took a look at Jiang Rongan, and looked closely at the fluff. As she expected, this kind of grass cotton is indeed very suitable for brushing, and the feel is really great up.

It's just that Pingnan County can't find other handmade methods, and this velvet cloth alone is enough to change the situation of calling the entire county and even the prefectural city.

Busy on and off like this, Jiang Rongan finally pulled the whole piece of cloth successfully.After pulling the fleece, the fabric feels like a thin layer in the hand, but it is very comfortable.

If it is made of lining, it is also very warm, Gu Qingya is very happy in her heart, and decides to make more next year and send it to her parents.

The annual gift to be given this year was arranged early, no matter whether it was from Sanhua County or the Jiang family in the prefecture city, none of them were missed.

When I was young, I must have resented Jiang Sanye and others in my heart, but now that I have a family and a business, Jiang Rong'an also finds it boring and maintains a shallow relationship.

It is great filial piety to be able to serve in front of him regardless of past suspicions. Jiang Rongan said that it is difficult for him to do it, and he can only achieve material filial piety.

Regarding this, Gu Qingya didn't say much, this father-in-law now has another family of his own, and they don't necessarily like their filial piety, maybe it will make people resentful, instead of that, it's better this way.

During festive seasons, she misses her dearly, and as the year approaches, she often hears the yamen servants outside chatting about someone in the city who has returned from a wandering life. Gu Qingya inevitably feels a little sour when she hears it in her heart.

Because there is no convoy in Xiangyang Mansion to go directly to Honghe Mansion, so you have to travel to many places to receive the items you send.

And because of the heavy snow, those people just sent a message to Honghe Fucheng to pick it up, but they didn't send it to Pingnan County.

Jiang Rong'an thought about it, and decided to go out and bring those things back. His wife and children must miss home, and those things just happened to be on his mind.

Gu Qingya knew that traveling in the snow was not good, so she disagreed, but Jiang Rongan refused, saying that it was okay, and took the people away, leaving Gu Qingya at home a little uneasy.
