Chapter 117: Crepe's Great Transformation
.
This is Xia Xiaodong's impression of Yuan Niangzi.
This woman, who should have been over forty years old, walked all the way from the door with an extremely special and difficult to describe style, which made people feel that her body was elegant and generous, without any sense of haste, but she soon arrived in front of her. On the contrary, it was the two who followed behind her, who looked like apprentices, half-walking and half-running straight panting.
When those eyes look at it, they don't stare at people all the time, but they just look at it and turn their eyes away, but the charm in it will never be light.
Yuan Niangzi is not a slave of the Lu family, but a master invited from outside, and it is said that in the land of southern Jiangsu, half of the Lu family's weaving business is in charge.
Xia Xiaodong and Lu Yunzhi stood up as soon as they saw Yuan Niangzi enter the door.
Superior people should always be treated with the respect they deserve.
Yuan Niangzi's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was very measured when she spoke quickly or slowly, but Xia Xiaodong still felt a trace of impatience and disdain.
The working family came from afar, and Xia Xiaodong actually couldn't help it, and didn't mind the little dissatisfaction hidden by Yuan Niangzi.
After saying hello and introducing each other, Xia Xiaodong looked up at the sky, it should have been past the unitary hour, and said with a smile: "Seeing that it's time for dinner, it's better to put the meal on the table first, and then talk slowly when the meal is served." ”
Dealing with Yuan Niangzi is mainly based on Xia Xiaodong. Originally, Lu Yunzhi could not have appeared, but firstly, Lu Yunzhi was a little curious and wanted to hear about it, and secondly, there was a serious girl from the Lu family present, and Yuan Niangzi always had to give a little more face, and it was easier to speak. Therefore, Lu Yunzhi consciously positioned himself as a role that added fuel to the flames by beating the side drum.
"Yuan Niangzi came from afar, and she must be tired. Let's try the craftsmanship of our kitchenette first. Lu Yunzhi said a very conventional polite word gently.
Yuan Niangzi sat in her position and leaned forward slightly, as a thank you to the two girls for their invitation, but she said, "I won't bother the girls." It doesn't take much time to unify the matter, so it's better for the girl to talk about it first, and then I can arrange it when I get back. ”
After speaking, Yuan Niangzi took turns looking at Lu Yunzhi and Xia Xiaodong, and her eyes stayed on Lu Yunzhi's face for a longer time.
When I invited her to the capital, I didn't say what it was, but only that the girl had some ideas about weaving and wanted to discuss it with her.
Hehe. Yuan Niangzi actually wanted to make a face at the person who sent the letter.
The girl of the Lu family, compared with other ladies, may be a little less arrogant, but weaving this matter, can girls understand the embroidery patterns of needlework and thread?
Weaving weaving, two words, one is weaving, the other is making, weaving and manufacturing, which girls know?
Not to mention the girls, even if the third master of the Lu family who sometimes comes to southern Jiangsu, and the few young masters who are learning to take over, how much do they know?
However, after all, she took a lot of money from the Lu family every year, and this was the first time since she cooperated with the Lu family that she was suddenly invited to Beijing.
With the first, there will be no second time.
Because, the second time, you can talk about things the first time.
Who, last time, looked me all the way away, but it turned out that the girl thought of a special trick and wanted to wear it out to show off during the New Year. What's going on this time?
Everybody has to have a face.
Seeing Yuan Niangzi's attitude, Lu Yunzhi looked at Xia Xiaodong.
She didn't know how many hours it would take.
Xia Xiaodong was silent for a moment, then turned around and instructed Qiu Juan behind him: "If the meal is late, it's late, you ask the people in the small kitchen to prepare some snacks." Brew another pot of frozen oolong. ”
"In this way," Xia Xiaodong beckoned to Yuan Niangzi: "You take a look at this first." She handed over a roll of crepe that she had at hand. People seem to be in a hurry to leave, so let's go straight to the point.
Yuan Niangzi opened it and looked at it, I don't know why. This is a veritable waste material, the rich don't like the poor, the poor don't love, it's not worth anything, and it's not on the table at all.
"The reason why this crepe looks like this today is because the weft is not strong enough." Xia Xiaodong stretched out his white fingers and drew a line in the direction of the weft on the open crepe cloth.
Yuan Niangzi paused for a moment.
No matter what the material, there is a saying of warp and weft, that is, longitudinal and horizontal lines. This Xia girl, being able to open her mouth to say the word 'weft' is extraordinary.
At least Lu Yunzhi next to him looked completely incomprehensible.
What is weft yarn called? Why did the lack of strength turn out like this? I don't understand, I don't understand.
"What do you want?" Yuan Niangzi's tone was a little polite.
No matter what people want to do, at least it doesn't look like a little girl's mess around.
"I wanted to reshape the weft yarn and make it a strong twist yarn. The warp yarn is still made of ordinary fine cotton yarn. Xia Xiaodong stretched the crepe cloth as he spoke, and said with a smile: "In this way, the weft direction will have good elasticity." ”
The word elasticity seems to be rare, to be exact, I don't know if there is such a word, let's replace it with elasticity.
Yuan Niangzi's brows furrowed slightly, her eyes closed slightly, she thought about it carefully, and said softly: "If the strength of the weft yarn is enough, then ...... It won't be so ugly, I'm just afraid of ......, if it ......, imagine ......"
"Well...... if the wrinkles are even, this thing is light and soft, but it is a good material for spring shirts." is worthy of being an expert, and he immediately matched Xia Xiaodong's thoughts.
"Hmm." Xia Xiaodong nodded in agreement, "If you do loose treatment before crepe, and then add dyeing and finishing, the effect will be even better." Uh, by the way, are there yarn-dyed looms these days? ”
Yuan Niangzi looked up at Xia Xiaodong with a complicated expression, and nodded mechanically: "Yarn-dyed loom, there are some." ”
"That's good," Xia Xiaodong ignored Yuan Niangzi's changes, and continued: "In this way, you can also make plain and yarn-dyed changes, what do you think?" ”
How is it? Not how.
In fact, Yuan Niangzi felt that her brain was a little insufficient. Don't look at weaving and embroidery, etc., they are all done by women, and the workers in the weaving factory are also women, but when it comes to weaving skills, the making of various looms, etc., they are mainly men. Yuan Niangzi is actually an alternative in itself.
However, the Yuan family is a family of weaving technology in southern Jiangsu, and although the men are excellent, there are also several women, including Yuan Niangzi, whose attainments are extraordinary and outstanding.
However, Yuan Niangzi naturally knows that she can have today because of her family history, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she has been taught by her father and brother attentively.
And this girl from the Xia family, who has a calm and beautiful face and doesn't talk much, but is extremely refined, can't be more than twenty years old anyway, how can she understand?
