Chapter 27: Waxed silk threads are threaded through the warp and weft, and the edge and healds are ready

Sister An Liu now has to think twice even when taking out the bamboo shoots from the water tank, for fear that the master will be disturbed by her and affect the preparations for twisting the bamboo shoots.

Stepping down gently, she held the silk thread soaked in water and wrapped around the bobbin in both hands. The sixth sister even refused to let the water "tick" to the ground, which shocked the master who needed to concentrate on his work.

Raising her head to look at her disciple, Madam Li felt so cute that she couldn't help but chuckle: "Sixth Sister, don't be so careful. Master has been weaving for many years. As long as he doesn't speak to you, he can count clearly.

.”

It can be seen that Sixth Sister was afraid that she would be affected by making any noise, so the master's subordinate counted twenty-six, so she took advantage of the fact that she didn't have to count again because of a mistake, and talked about this with her disciple.

Two or three sentences.

The master discovered her thoughts, and the sixth sister felt a little embarrassed. She nodded silently and quickly turned around to shake her hand.

When Madam Li's side is finished with the heddling heddle, the master and apprentice can pull up the warp threads and make the final preparations before weaving.

This progress sounds fast enough, but at this time, at least three to five days have passed since the move to the new shop. If you calculate it, it is indeed not a short time. It is almost the summer of April. No wonder the two of them

Don't dare to waste a moment.

"I heard that Mrs. Li's Zhiluo shop has moved here. In the early years, you always had to go around half of the west side of the city to buy it. Now it's easier..." The eyebrows are red and the mouth is full of Luoqi. If it were

Just looking at these, one would think she was the wife of a wealthy family.

But the flat-ground mother-of-pearl and painted lacquerware wooden ruler in her hand obviously exposed the identity of this lady - she ran a clothing store with good sales in Xifang, and she really made money by relying on her craftsmanship.

A lot of money.

"It's a pity that Mrs. Li's clothes are neither fancy nor cheap. Even if you buy them, the clothes you make may not be pleasing to you."

The lady who was traveling with her sighed, "That's you, you only care about quality, and you still want this money, otherwise Madam Li's shop may no longer be able to continue its business!"

Hearing what her friend said, the lady who was the first to speak with a wooden ruler in her hand just smiled and said, "When buying clothes, you still have to wear them comfortably, where can you only go for luxury? What I want from this Luo Yi is the elegant Zen feeling."

Many literati in Lin'an City often discuss Taoism and Zen with the monks in the temple. Nowadays, the fancy Luo Zao is not as popular as it was in the past, but it is the simple and elegant Hengluo that makes people buy it a little more.

The words of the tailor's congratulations to the fourth lady made the lady in the same row feel embarrassed - the piping of her ruffles was both painted and stamped with gold. Although it was a very fashionable style nowadays, it seemed exaggerated now that I thought about it.

"I'll go take a look when I come back. As long as the quality is good, I won't make ready-made clothes to sell, but I can buy them for home." I wish the Fourth Lady can do this. Although it cannot be separated from so many years of friendship, it is really for the good.

The material is sad.

The plain silk is so delicate that people come and go. It should be made after the Spring Festival, especially as old clothes. It is not difficult to weave this kind of yarn. Maybe during the depression, it still did not change the fineness, and it is indeed worthy of the title.

Rare perseverance.

They all rely on their craftsmanship to make a living. I wish the Fourth Lady would lend a hand to help her if she has the spare time. This is not in vain for the compassion she heard from the monks and Taoists, and it also shows the kindness of ordinary people who are not blinded by gold and silver.

"Sixth sister, go and get the wax block from the wooden box in the southeast corner. Put the wax on it today, and then you can have some rest."

After finishing the work at hand, Mrs. Li began to arrange the follow-up work when she saw that her disciple had already put the shaken pipe into a wooden basin filled with water.

"When waxed, the threads can be made smoother to prevent the shackles from getting damaged..."

Orange twilight is spread on the warp, and the appearance of the master and the apprentice is printed as a pattern, which is very warm.
