Chapter 22 Thousands of threads are boiling with the waves, which is better than the Yanliu Lake shoreline.

There is no strong wind to reach the shore, and the white waves are boiling in the cauldron. This is an indispensable process for raw silk to become cooked silk. It may seem inconspicuous, but it is also inseparable from every subsequent step.

The horizontal weft and vertical warp are tens of meters long, but the width is far less than the length. Therefore, good silks are found to be used as warp threads, and worse ones are used to make weft threads. This is true because of the toughness of the silk threads.

There are differences in the requirements for uniformity.

The young lady is very smart, and she has been able to help a lot after learning from her master for a short time. She just transported the silk back to the shop, and had already sorted the warp and weft threads according to the quality. Now she just needs to put the divided silk into place.

Put it into boiling water to remove the glue from the silk.

"It's almost time." Mrs. Li packed up the remaining plant ashes and did not forget to count the time. "Take it out and put it in a water tank. Put these weft threads in and cook them."

Using the extremely long bamboo clip, she took the silk out of the boiling water and put it into a tank of fresh water aside to continue soaking. Sister An Liu raised her head and looked at her master, "Master, it's almost summer now. It should be around six or seven hours later."

stop?"

It can be seen that the disciple is a little eager for success, but if the silk is not prepared well at the beginning, and later sticks to one place and becomes nodular, it will not only delay the effort, but also waste the silk.

"It's not summer yet. It's okay to soak this silk for a few more days. Let's talk about it after three days. Don't worry about it in these few days." Since you have planned to start over again, you have to take one step at a time. There is no need to follow these three steps.

Save two days of trouble.

"That's what Master said." Submerging all the cooked silk threads in the clear water tank, An Liujie helped Master beat her waist, and then said, "The skills they have now are not difficult for Master to master. If you want to call people

When you come to buy something, you should be careful."

Listening to her disciple's words, Mrs. Li nodded - not to mention that this disciple was very satisfying to her. It was not that she had never accepted apprentices before when her family was prosperous, but it was all because her skills were so profitable that she never

Think about the countless connections between Luo and Lin'an City.

These days, my master is always in a daze, and I don’t know what he is thinking. Sister An Liu just picked up the weft threads divided on the side: "Master?"

When her master turned around and responded, the sixth sister asked, "Should the weft be put in now?"

The breeze stirred up the smoke clouds, raising three thousand years of mist. The light climbed into the house along the window edge, bringing the old friend with it, and the mist dyed it into a mystery, as if it was going to make this story that started with the Yellow Emperor.

Duan scroll embroidered a new chapter belonging to the Song Dynasty.

"Be careful with your hands, lest you get hurt. Don't be in a hurry." As a master and a father, Sixth Sister's children are no different from their own children. As a master, he is always careful and reminds his disciples every time, for fear of hurting his disciples.

It's a pity that the master was patronizing his disciple, but didn't pay attention to his feet. Fortunately, he asked his disciple to hold him firmly before he almost tripped, otherwise he might have fallen into the boiling water.

"Master, be careful!" Sister An Liu sometimes couldn't tell who was the more steady one. The master was already at the age of having children, but he was a bit more irritable than herself.

She smiled at her disciple. She was really embarrassed to be a master. Seeing this, Sister An Liu hurriedly said: "Master, it's fine if you have nothing to do. It's the disciple who doesn't want to pack things away, so he is in a hurry."

If you are in a hurry to cook shredded silk, these things should be cleaned up."

"Master was careless. I just left this thing for Master to clean up. You go and sort out the silk threads before, and free up the bamboo slips and the turning machine. You will need them soon."

It still takes a moment to cook the silk here, so the master and the apprentice took this opportunity to start cleaning up. The shop facing the street was unattended, which caused a lot of discussion among the people passing by.

"Back then, Mrs. Li's Luo was famous for its high quality and low price. Now..."

"What a pity, what a pity!"
