Chapter 1016: The Blood Queen 24
"Isn't a year too short? Didn't you say you want to find out the origin of vampires?
In order to make Jiang Chan stay for a while longer, Malvina racked her brains. The more she gets along with Jiang Chan, the more she can appreciate the tenderness that Jiang Chan hides in her heart, and the more reluctant she is to go back.
Although Malvina lived for hundreds of years before, in Jiang Chan's opinion, this age was only a fraction of what she had experienced.
"I'll stay for a year and see, as for the origin of the vampire, to be honest, I was really curious before, but now I don't think it's a big deal, everything exists and naturally has its reason. ”
Sometimes Jiang Chan's curiosity is very heavy, but sometimes she can abandon this curiosity in an instant. Because she knows that sometimes, there are things that don't need to be delved into.
But whenever he studies a skill to the extreme, his understanding is naturally extraordinary. After Jiang Chan talked about the prototype of the loom, Jones devoted himself to the development of the loom.
In order not to affect Jones, his wife Nida strictly restricts the family, and must be light in and out, and absolutely cannot affect Jones.
It's no wonder that Nida is concerned, their family was originally going to die among the bandits, if it wasn't for Jiang Chan and Henry and others who suddenly appeared to rescue them, how could they have a stable life now?
It can be said that in Nida's heart, Jiang Cicada is simply like God in the world. Regarding the things that Jiang Chan explained, she was even more concerned than Jones. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't know how to do carpentry, she would have done it herself.
Jones did live up to expectations, and after a month of studying at home, he made the loom.
"My lord, my father has made the loom, please come and see it. Jones's son was standing by the door, gasping for air, and he had come all the way.
"Okay, great, I'll go over and have a look now. Jiang Chan was overjoyed, she thought that Jones would study for another ten days and a half months, but she didn't expect the results to come out so soon.
Seeing that Jiang Chan had already walked out of the door, Henry and Henry shrugged their shoulders and followed behind in a hurry, they were also curious about what this loom looked like.
At Jones's house, Jones was circling the loom in circles. When Jiang Chan came over, Nida was standing next to her, wanting to try it but not daring to get started.
At this time, the clothes worn by people were mainly coarse cloth clothes, and the clothes of ordinary people were usually sewn and repaired. Some housewives are more industrious, and will collect coarse hemp to make twine and send it to the workshop.
Nida was one of them, and after settling in the village and having a spinning machine, Nida spun a lot of twine. It has to be said that the emergence of the spinning wheel has greatly improved Nida's work efficiency.
"Nida, bring me a ball of twine. Jiang Chan walked around the loom twice, thinking about how to use it. She'd seen the loom, and even if Jones made it now, it didn't mean she could get started quickly.
Jones stood up, "My lord, let me demonstrate." ”
Jiang Chan bowed his head and stood to the side, watching Jones sit on the stool, his feet on the pedals, his hands and feet together, the first few rows of weaving were crooked, and the spacing was sometimes large and sometimes small.
Nida stood to the side and looked at the ground with a distressed look on her face, the thread she had worked so hard to spin, and finally she couldn't look at it: "I understand, I'll try." ”
A big man, with such thick hands, can he weave cloth well?
Jones playfully moves out of the way, revealing Nida's position in the family. Nida sat in front of the loom and remembered what Jones had just done, rusty at first, but then more and more proficient.
In less than half an hour, a piece of burlap the size of a stool was woven. This is still Nida's new use of the loom, and she is not yet proficient. If they are all skilled workers, they are estimated to be able to weave two to three meters of cloth every day.
In about half a month, a skilled weaver can weave a piece of cloth, which can be sent to the bazaar, or made into various clothes, and the profit will be even more lucrative.
Seeing that Nida was very skillful, Jiang Chan touched her chin: "After all, the coarse hemp is not delicate enough, the spinning machine can spin many kinds of threads, and after the cotton is harvested, you can spin cotton threads." You can also make cotton clothes and quilts from cotton, and you won't be sad in the winter in the future. ”
"It's a pity that there are not many colors of fabric, and most people wear black, white and gray clothes, and the brighter the color, the more expensive the price. Nida smashed her mouth, and the burlap she was weaving was grayish-white.
"That's okay, I know some dyeing methods, we can try it ourselves. "Jiang Cicada is very simple, because of the ability of plant whispering, she can clearly know which plants can be used for dyeing.
In addition, she has learned to paint, and she can match hundreds of different shades of red with red alone, and Nida's headache of dyeing is not a problem here at all.
"You weave first, and I'll go back and prepare the dye. ”
Although there is nothing here, Jiang Chan still enjoys the process of appearing from scratch, because he is full of a sense of achievement.
Malvina sighed: "I've lived for so many years, I don't know how to mix dye, how can you do anything?"
Jiang Chan paused: "As long as you live long, you can learn almost anything." ”
She didn't know how many worlds she had passed, and she had learned a lot of things, although there were some things she hadn't done in the field, but she could figure them out with a little research.
Jiang Chan did not go back directly this time, but went directly to the mountains near the castle. There are many plants in the mountains, and Jiang Cicada is currently planning to use plants to make dyes.
Staying in the mountains for two days, Jiang Chan took Henry and Henry to gain a lot. After returning to his residence, Jiang Chan started to stand in the huge courtyard.
Henry and Henry got Jiang Chan's commission and went out to buy wooden barrels, which were transported to Jiang Chan's residence in dozens or hundreds of places. Such a big battle naturally can't hide from the castle's Solon and others, this gang is not very idle, come to Jiang Chan to watch the excitement.
Vampires have long lives, and in order to pass this boring time, they have to find a lot of things to do. Now Jiang Chan has fun here, and they can't wait to take root here.
Okay, since you're here to see the excitement, let's take a hand. Jiang Chan is very handy in calling these people, and in less than half a month, the courtyard is filled with dozens of dye barrels, with different shades of color.
Red, burgundy, pink, navy blue, dark green, goose yellow, light yellow, light purple and other colors, that is called a dazzling array of colors. At a cursory glance, almost every color system has seven or eight different saturations.
Sauron rolled up his sleeves: "I can't believe that we have made so many dyes, and we have never heard of such a variety of dyes in any workshop. ”
