In the evening of this day, it finally rained heartily, and the rushing water took away the summer heat, making the night a little more cool, and the breeze blew the whistling curtains, and I slept well all night, without dreams until dawn.

Today, I am going to learn silk reeling, and the girls are so excited that they get up early, wash their clothes, and the patio is busy.

Seeing them like this, Mama Guo was naturally very happy, ate breakfast, chose an auspicious time, opened the door of the workshop, and burned incense to worship her grandmother.

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Qingzhu really saw the inner situation of the silk reeling workshop, this is a very spacious house, a foot-mounted silk reeling machine with a three-foot pot, and there are three feet between each machine, she silently counted, there are twenty machines.

Although the girls were ignorant, they saw Mama Guo bowing and praying with a serious expression, so they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they just followed one by one, and after the solemn ceremony, Mama Guo began to teach silk reeling skills.

Because only eighteen girls were recruited this time, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ji were left to work here, although they were unwilling in their hearts, but they couldn't resist Mama Guo's punishment, so they had to swallow their anger and endure this hardship.

The water in the pot should be kept at room temperature, neither too hot nor cold, so that the cocoon can quickly soften and make it easier to pull out the silk.

Mama Guo sat in front of the silk reeling car, scooped up a silkworm cocoon in the pot, pushed her fingers gently, and quickly peeled off the messy silk on the surface, and pulled out a white thread.

The reeled silk can be divided into three kinds: fine, medium and coarse, the filament is made of three stranded silks, which can weave thin summer clothes such as cicada wings, and the medium silk is five, and the spring and autumn clothes are mostly made of this silk fabric, and the coarse silk is more silk, which is ten, which can be woven into winter clothes or embroidery thread.

The more silk, the higher the requirements for silk reeling skills, so Mama Guo started from the most basic filament.

Three silk threads that are made into one strand should pass through the money eye of the silk reeling machine, bypass the lock star, and then pass through the ladder, and finally wrap it around the silk thread, and then step on the pedal with your foot, you can drive the silk thread to rotate, and quickly pull out the silk of the three cocoons and twist them into a thread ball.

Mama Guo is old, she said it was easy, but her eyes were not good, the silk thread was worn in her hand several times, but she couldn't pass through the money eye, and her face was a little unbearable for a while.

Everyone else was scared of Mama Guo's scolding in the past few days, so they only watched around, and they didn't dare to say anything, only Gu Qingying jumped out and said, "Mama, I'll help you!" ”

"Okay, you try." Mama Guo breathed a sigh of relief and handed the silk thread to Gu Qingying.

"I'm the best at threading needles, and when Sister Auntie embroiders, I help her wear them." As Gu Qingying spoke, she skillfully dipped her fingers in some saliva on her tongue, twisted the thread, narrowed her eyes, and sent it to Qian Yan, and then received the thread at the other end.

According to Mama Guo's instructions, Gu Qingying's little hand flexibly bypassed the silk thread between the lock star and the ladder, and wrapped it around the silk thread.

A mother-in-law brought a charcoal basin and put it under the silk reeling car, so that the silk drawn out was dried after the hot air of the charcoal basin, and the water was dry.

"Well, it's really good, I didn't hurt you in vain, I'll point to you to help me wear it in the future!" Mama Guo stepped on the pedal and said with a smile.

"Sister!" Gu Qingying was embarrassed by the praise and plunged into Gu Qingzhu's arms.

Gu Daya stretched out her hand from the side and rubbed her soft hair with a smile.

The corners of Gu Erni's mouth twitched, and she glanced at Gu Qingzhu with disgust, secretly thinking in her heart, who still doesn't know how to thread, you are the most embarrassed, seeing that others are embarrassed to step forward, they will invite children to pet!

Peng Pearl stood next to her, peeking at her gloomy face, and then at the Gu Qingzhu sisters, they were clearly from the same village, but they were like enemies who never got along with each other, and they didn't say a word face to face, there must be a big reason for this.

Just when she thought about it and couldn't think of a reason, Mama Guo had already wound more than a dozen circles of silk thread on the silk thread, but saw that a silkworm cocoon in the pot suddenly stopped rolling, and the silk changed from three to two, obviously broken.

Silkworm raising, directly affect the size of the cocoon and the length of the silk, therefore, the silk of each cocoon is not the same length, what's more, a cocoon from the beginning to the end, not a complete one, among which there are broken silk, there are several broken pieces, which is of course rare, but today happened to meet.

Wire splicing is really a very delicate work, Guo Mama first retreat the thread, find the place where the broken thread, and then find out the other thread of the cocoon, this is absolutely not knotted, as long as the new thread and the broken thread are aligned, add it to the wire nest.

This work is very eye-consuming and time-consuming, and it takes a lot of time for a skilled hand like Mama Guo to pick it up.

The same is true for the silk sequential silk in the back, three silk in turn to add a new cocoon of the silk, continue to pedal on the pedal is it, the foot reeling machine has such an advantage, you can use both hands and feet, silk, silk winding, labor and labor.

While explaining, Mama Guo kept her hands and feet, and repeated this several times until a large enough silk ingot was wound on the silk rim, and then replaced it with another silk basket.

It is worthy of being done for seven or eight years, the silk ingots winded by Mama Guo are fine, round, uniform and tight, and the silk thread has maintained the general thickness from beginning to end, with neither pimples nor joints.

According to what Mama Guo said, it is excellent for a person to make five catties of silk thread a day, they have just started to do it, as long as they can make two catties a day, even if they pass the assessment, they can be counted as wages according to ten yuan a catty.

These words made the girls very happy, and they were all eager to try, and with the permission of Mama Guo, each of them found a machine to try.

The work of reeling silk is simple to look at, and there is nothing difficult to listen to, but when it is not fully mastered, it is actually difficult to cooperate with the hands and feet, either the silk thread is not tightly wound, or the broken wire is not found, rework is a particularly troublesome thing, half an hour has passed, and it may not be possible to find where the broken head is.

Therefore, for a while, the workshop was like a boiling porridge pot, with noisy voices and figures running around, Mama Guo had just taught this thread management head, and the silk thread was twisted upside down, shouting and screaming, startled, and making people's brains hurt.

Mu Jin's achievement was at this time, stepping into the chaotic workshop.

Today is the first day of work, he deliberately got up early, and also picked out a rather festive sunset snow silk gown, which is a new fabric in Suzhou and Hangzhou this year, breathable and cool.

The light begonia color that filled the room made people think that they had fallen into a gentle sea of flowers, and Mu Jincheng looked for Gu Qingzhu carefully in those panicked or nervous faces.

His eyes swept over layer by layer, and it was not until the last row that he saw Gu Qingzhu sitting in front of the silk reeling machine, frowning and looking at the machine, she was not as eager to strip the silk and winding as others, but stepped on the empty machine, watching how it worked, and practicing to master the fast and slow rhythm.

After finding the person he was looking for, Mu Jincheng settled down, so he sat on the chair that Baoying had moved.

Mama Guo already knew yesterday that the Sansheng Mu family had invested in the weaving workshop, and now she saw that the third master came in person, so she hurriedly left everyone and walked to him to say hello.

"Mama doesn't have to be polite, you still teach them the same as just now, since I promised Sister Zijin to take care of the weaving workshop, I will not take myself as a guest." Mu Jincheng waved his hand.

Although his words were so beautiful, how could Mama Guo take it seriously, and hurriedly asked Xiao Lai to prepare tea and snacks.

Mu Jincheng was born well, Zhilan Yushu is general, where to sit, there is no need for too many words, and he is rich and noble in his arbitrary and casual nature.

How could such a beautiful son not attract people's attention?

Xiao Yuan Xiaoji is in the inner courtyard of the Tan family, and there are no less stories about the wealthy dignitaries in Nancang County, the most is this demon king of the mixed world, the three young people of the Mu family, all kinds of absurd and uninhibited, bizarre and strange things have heard a basket, and when I see it today, I feel that it is a pity to have this good skin.

Most of the other girls are ashamed, don't say that their family backgrounds can't be compared, they can't compare to him with their appearance alone, after they are amazing, they can just do things more cautiously, for fear that something will go wrong, and lead him to see it, then it's really shameless.

Of course, there are also some people who have inexplicable confidence in themselves, such as Peng Pearl and Jia Min, who changed their methods to let Mu Jincheng take a look at them, just hoping that by this glance, they could fly on the branches and change their fate.

"Mama, I can't always connect this thread!" Jia Min twisted the waist of the water snake, walked up to Mama Guo gracefully, and said angrily.

"Didn't I tell you, don't be too loose to wrap up, it's easy to slip out!" Mama Guo was pointing at others, and said impatiently.

"Oh, Mama, I did what you said, but it still doesn't work, you teach me again." Jia Min's eyes quickly glanced at Mu Jincheng, and when he saw that his gaze really swept over, he couldn't help but continue proudly.

"You're a pig, you have to teach this a few times!" Mama Guo didn't give her any affection, feeling that she had made her lose face in front of Mu Jincheng, and couldn't help but scold.

"Haha." Mu Jincheng suddenly laughed.

He laughed because Gu Qingzhu lowered his head and added charcoal, and accidentally rubbed the dust on the tip of his nose, covering those little freckles, and became a black nose, which looked stupid and funny.

When Jia Min saw him laughing, she thought she was stupid and stupid, so she couldn't help but peek at him again, but she saw him smiling, not annoyed at all, and seemed to think that she was still very cute.

Feeling that she was being favored by this rich kid, Jia Min became more and more troubled, she pulled Mama Guo's sleeve and said, "Mama, I really don't." ”

"Did you take the wrong medicine today, you have nothing to do with hysteria!" Mama Guo glared at her.

The people next to her thought that she was too stupid, and this little thing that everyone would know would have to entangle her mother several times, so she burst into laughter.

Jia Min was so laughed that she lost her opinion, she looked up at Mu Jincheng again, and saw that he was still looking at herself, but the footing of his gaze was over her, and went to the rear, she followed the past, her heart was like falling into the abyss, and she couldn't help but feel resentful.

Gu Qingzhu, why are all the good things in the world taken by you alone!

Poor Gu Qingzhu, who was immersed in studying the silk reeling machine, was so jealous, she suddenly sneezed twice in a row, but she didn't know that people were sitting in front of the machine, and the trouble came from there.

And at this time, someone who caused disaster to her didn't know that the happy expression she inadvertently showed at this moment would make Gu Qingzhu surrounded by hungry wolves in the following days, and it would be difficult to walk step by step.
