Chapter 467: Patchwork Again
When Yun'er began to use Xiao Libu's head, her steps were very small, and she could use three or four pockets at a time. If you calculate carefully, there are seven or eight hundred thousand bags in total, and if you don't use it, it's all a mess. The last forty carts of Tianjin cloth were placed in a large courtyard in the northwest corner of the inner house.
Most of the cloth heads are used by Yun'er to patchwork, and some girls have used them, and they are also patchwork, but they are patchwork in the style of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the cloth heads are cut into palm-sized square pieces of cloth, sewn up piece by piece, and spliced into quilts or clothes, called "Baina quilt" and "Baijia clothes". Exotic patchwork is much more complex than this, not only clothes, quilts, but also cushions, sheets, pillows, cloth baskets, wallets, skirts, pockets, aprons, hats, sofa cushions, children's clothing, slippers, animal toys, pillows, cloth flowers, and so on. After the operator's re-creation, the fabrics that are spelled out occupy a large part of home life. It can also beautify life, cultivate sentiment, is very practical, and gives people the joy of life.
The cloth corners that Yun'er bought from Shanghai for the girl and grandmother in Fujin Courtyard are the kind of one dollar and one pocket, all of which are irregular patterns. Yun'er means to let them give full play to their imagination and create fabric products. As a result, these girls and grandmothers used all these scraps of cloth corners to make shoes from the perspective of life. Yun'er was very convinced of the patience of these women, even if it was a cloth the size of a fingernail, she was reluctant to throw it, and all of them were pasted up smoothly, the bottom layer was a whole piece of upper cloth, the upper layer was a piece of upper cloth, and the middle was a layer of those rags put together, which was not wasted at all, but Yun'er felt that those cloth corners should not be used like this, and it was not easy to say anything. I was thinking about taking a few lessons on patchwork and guiding everyone to the patchwork.
Xiaoli has printed a lot of patchwork patterns for Yun'er, so you don't have to do it according to the physical sample. But to find these patterns, you can't make them public. Yun'er is very grateful to Master, how can she find what she needs with so many goods? The master gave himself the ability to carry in the air, and he could move what he needed to his eyes with a thought of it.
Now Yun'er already has a thick pile of patchwork patterns in her hands. Yun'er found a few relatively simple ones to try out. With the pattern, there must be patchwork materials and tools, Yun'er used the noon lunch break to find cotton cloth that is closer to the pattern from the large pile of goods, as well as tools specially used to make cloth art, such as water elimination pens, bone pens, sewing circles, scissors, bead needles, clips, cola needle sets, cloth towns, thimbles, wheel knives, backing plates, rulers, tape makers, turning pliers, magnetic needle boxes, embroidery bandages, etc. These things are also carried out in the air, and finally there is a sewing machine, without which the efficiency of patchwork will be greatly reduced.
So Yun'er used her ability again to carry several sewing machines that can be used for patchwork, such as the yard edge machine, the sewing machine, and the embroidery machine, to the pile of goods in the hall. Use a marker pen to write the word "sewn". By the way, sewing threads and embroidery threads are also ready in front of you.
There are more and more people who come to order in Yulong Cloth Village, the Dragon Boat Festival has passed, and there are very few people who buy sachets, but the purses and handbags are one after another. Most of them are the official eunuchs' orders, they are attracted by the diversity of the cloth of Yulong Cloth Village, each order is not less than three hundred, there are many orders, there are many materials, Tian Liang and Nalan almost every day from Yun'er's hall with a hook to grab the cloth pocket.
Now the little Libu head only took down a few hundred pockets, but the place next to the ceiling was a little loose, and there were not many gaps. Because it was very tightly packed before, the gap was immediately filled with bulging pockets after taking some of it. Fortunately, it is looser after all, and it is not so difficult to hold it by hand. Tian Liang grabbed it down with a hook, which saved effort after all.
Watching Tian Liang accurately throw the hook onto Xiaoli's head pocket, the prince admired it from the bottom of his heart, it would not be easy to accurately grasp the hook on the wall, the wall is hard, but the cloth head pocket is soft, and it is next to one pocket. But Tian Liang looked confident, and pulled the nylon rope in his hand into a funnel shape and went up, the difficulty was not ordinary!
"Be careful, I'm pulling down my pockets, dodging some don't touch."
Ten pockets of Yun'er next to the hook will not let the hook, and then Tian Liang Nalan will leave here to do his own thing.
"Open it, I'll see what's inside." Yun'er pointed to a pocket and ordered Shui'er. Shui'er agreed and cut the pocket mouth open.
"Master, what kind of fabric is this, so beautiful? The flowers on it are all bulging. The fish's eyes were round again.
"The full name of this fabric is nylon jacquard stretch cloth, which is a knitted product with elasticity."
"What is this fabric for?" Yu'er asked.
"Women's spring and autumn clothes, it's not bad to do shoulders."
"That's too luxurious, isn't it? The flowers on it are hooked with gold thread! "It's the first time I've seen such a fabric.
"Look at the next bag."
Shui Er hurriedly cut open the next pocket, and inside was a dark and heavy fabric of crimson, dark green, and deep purple. It's stiff and stiff, and it has a fluffy feel, as if it's very valuable. This is also stretch cloth, and it's not small.
Another bag of black yarn is cut. The black is very pure, and the black one has no variegation at all, just like the one dyed with thick ink. It's heavy and the material is of high quality.
Yu'er asked in a low voice, "Master, what is this black yarn used for?" ”
"This is more suitable for women's pants."
The next three pockets are all stretch cloth, and then very light floral yarn, which is called "silk scarf" by exotic girls. There are all kinds of colors, almost no duplicates, very bright, very modern flavor. But they are all raw, and they must be rolled with a sewing machine, and the effect of hand needle sewing must be poor. Yun'er felt that this kind of silk scarf seemed to be unusable by Manchurian women, and Manchurian women combed their heads with two handfuls of hair, and tied the silk scarf on their heads like monsters. It is okay to wrap it around the neck, as if the Manchurians do not have the habit of wearing scarves, and the girls and daughters-in-law of the Han people may be able to use it.
The bag below is denim, all gray, but not exactly the same, there are dark gray and light gray, and there is gray with blue in the gray, which is very strong.
There is also a cloth head that is very similar to wool, the color is very dark, there are pure black, black gray, dark red, dark purple, very heavy, this is very good to make a cloak. So Yun'er pulled out three pieces.
"Let's take this one by one, whatever you do, show it to me when it's done."
The next day, all three of them did it. Yun'er made a robe with a lining, using the method of lock embroidery, the neckline, cuffs, and bottom edge of the robe are dark purple Yunshui patterns, and the same is true for buckle loops. It gives a very calm feeling. The fish made a cloak with a small flower of a light crimson cashmere hook set two inches from the bottom edge, and a small flower at a distance of two inches. Very elegant and not eye-catching. The cape was three inches wide beyond the neckline and inlaid with one-inch-wide dark lace. The cloak is hung with the lining, which is very windy, and it can also be covered when the quilt is covered. Shui'er is made of a horse gown with a shoulder, the broken sleeve of the shoulder is made of black crochet lace as a border, the collar is also black, and the edge is decorated with rabbit fur. The horse coat inside is decorated in a light crimson color.
Yun'er also made a few tops and pants out of denim, just to see what kind of effect the finished products made of these fabrics had, and felt that it was okay, so she asked Tian Liang to bring them to his cousin for trial sale when he sent them. As a result, the denim series, which was considered by Yun'er to be difficult to sell and not necessarily acceptable to the Qing people, was favored by a middle-aged Han woman as soon as it was put on the shelves. said that these sets of clothes are too sturdy, and they are all worn for work. Rui Qian told her that this kind of cloth is strong, but it is a little difficult to wash, and it must be brushed with a brush. This woman said that it was okay to be strong, and my family carried bags at the feet, and the clothes were very expensive, and he was able to mend his shoulders all year round. Buy two pieces to wear and brush them to be afraid of. The woman also took a fancy to the cloak made of stretch cloth, and said that she would be very chic and handsome when she wore it, and that it was the most suitable for the people who walked the rivers and lakes, so she bought it for her brother.
Ruiqian didn't take it seriously. The next morning, before the door opened, some people came to line up, saying that they wanted to buy sturdy cloth. Even the shopkeeper of the cloth village didn't know when he had sold sturdy cloth in his store, and when he asked Tian Liang, he knew that it was called labor cloth, which was the kind of cloth of denim. These people are all carrying bags, in addition to grain bags, salt bags, cotton bags and so on, and the most laborious part is the shoulder.
As a result, all the denim in the store was cleaned, but more and more people bought "sturdy fabrics". Ruiqian hurriedly hired a car to go to the palace to report the emergency, and the prince instructed Tian Liang and Nalan to rummage through the large pile of small Libu heads. The denim pocket has characteristics, either the packaging of the woven bag, or the denim pocket, which is very recognizable. Ruiqian was invited by her cousin Yun'er to her residence to see the excitement, and then she saw the mountain-like little Libu head in the hall, and also saw her cousin's flying rope ability. Ruiqian's impression of people who practice martial arts is to practice in the courtyard with eighteen weapons, or to fight boxing like the monks of Shaolin Temple, and he doesn't know that this flying rope is also a kind of kung fu.
Tian Liang picked out ten pockets of denim and sent it to Ruiqian with a cart pulling stones from the house. The people outside lined up in a line. Not only did the family members of Liba, who walked on their feet, come to buy denim, but everyone who worked hard came to buy it, and the news spread too fast, right? Where are the ten pockets? Tian Liang and Nalan hurried back to the house to report urgently. The prince said, continue to pick, but you two are too tired, call the two Hercules of Mang Ge and Battle.
Mang Ge is most willing to come to Feiyun Tower to work, and after doing it, Master Yun will definitely reward a large bottle of drink.
Xiaoli's cloth head is very miscellaneous, and many kinds of things are put together, and some have to be thrown down first, or they can't fall up. The prince saw that the amount of labor was too much, so he added six guards and four personal soldiers. They carried everything that had fallen down into the empty room of the annex building, and it was too troublesome to stack it up and turn it down again. In this way, more than 100 denim pockets were found, and they were sent to Yulong Cloth Village one after another with a rubber ** car. It seems that there are still a lot of working people, and more than a hundred bags have been sold out! It seems like a drop in the bucket, who knew that denim would be so popular with the people of the Qing Dynasty?
The door panel of the Yulong cloth village is pasted with "The sturdy cloth has been sold out, and it is out of stock for the time being, please wait for the arrival of the capital fathers and elders for a while." ”
Wang Ye and Tian Liang know in their hearts, there are still denim heads, and genuine denim has also been bought for millions of yuan, but they don't know where to put it, and the master's sister uses divine power. So I told Yun'er. After practicing in the middle of the night, Yun'er called out from her heart, "Jade Dragon Divine Skill!" ”
Immediately, a jade-colored dragon appeared in front of her, and Yun'er thought to herself, "A hundred bags of denim." "A hundred bags of denim appeared in an empty house in the west annex.
Yun'er can't move the denim to her own residence, and it will be incomprehensible. Put it in the west annex building, and everyone will think that it was originally placed there.
The next day, the guards and soldiers began to carry denim from the west annex building. Mang Ge did a very good job, and Master Yun was too generous, and he actually gave four large bottles of exotic drinks in his pocket for a day. Leave two bottles for Eniang Amma, and have two bottles for herself.
The prince thought that there were a lot of cloth heads in the warehouse in the northwest corner of the inner mansion, but he could still take the cloth heads in the Yun'er hall.
Ruiqian sent Dazhang to ask if there was any kind of dark fabric with elastic, which was the kind that made cloaks. Several young women came to the store to buy it, and they said that someone wore it, and it looked very good.
Yun'er asked Tian Liang Nalan to look for it on the pile, and finally found more than a dozen pockets of elastic nylon cloth, all of which were very useful large pieces of cloth, each of which was a little more than five feet, and it was still rich in making a robe, and the width was very wide.
In fact, it is very unjust that some of the cloth here is called cloth heads. It is a very new and large piece of cloth, a few meters long and a dozen people, and it will be sold as a finished cloth if you change a business. But Yun'er's price for these fabrics is still lower than that of finished fabrics, which is why so many ordinary people line up to buy them.
The price of the finished denim carried by Yun'er is higher than the price of the cloth, but it has not reduced the enthusiasm of the citizens of the capital who work hard to buy cloth. If it weren't for the Buzhuang rule that each person is limited to one zhang, there would be people who buy hundreds of feet or thousands of feet. In a few days, 50,000 meters of denim were sold out. You can't always sell denim, right?
On the counter of the Yulong Cloth Village, the Northeast flower cloth was once again displayed. Some of this kind of cloth is pure cotton twill, some are polyester-cotton twill, the cloth is relatively heavy, strong, suitable for quilt surface, patchwork, the main pattern is the phoenix peony, the background color is red, pink, dark green, sky blue, very gorgeous, very national characteristics.
Yun'er set the price of the Daqing cloth at thirty wen and one foot. Including the prince, it is said that it will be low. Wang Ye said to Yun'er: "Our price can't be lower than the price of cloth in the Qing Dynasty, if it is low, many people will come to buy it, what should other merchants do?" Do they have the financial resources to fight with us? I know you're settling the account of your conscience, and you can't afford to lose sight of one or the other. I also had the same idea as you, we don't care about the life and death of others without a clear conscience, not only to take care of the common people, but also not to run other businesses into bankruptcy, right? Just like the price of cloth in the Qing Dynasty, we also have the advantage of a wide area, which is also unique. ”
"Then thirty-five wen and one foot, the cloth of the Great Qing Dynasty is generally one foot eight inches wide, and we are four feet five, which is much wider than the two banners of the Great Qing Dynasty."
