Wang Fu and the weaving workshop they chose were in Yong'an Fang. It is located in the southwest corner of Chang'an, on the same level as Yonghefang.

The reason why I chose to be there is also because there are many mulberry forests there, and it can be said that the entire weaving mill of Chang'an was built there.

Wang Fu and the weaving mill they found this time were in the westernmost part of Yong'an Fang.

Qin Ze took his dog-legged two tigers, and the two of them walked for almost half an hour before they found this place.

Criss-crossing paths are interspersed with farmland. A number of low thatched huts are located in the area, which resembles a village.

The weaving mill that Qin Ze was looking for was at the bottom of a hill, and the mulberry forest was planted on the mountain, and the left side of the weaving mill was close to the Yong'an Canal. Geographically, it's really good.

In the midst of a wall made of dirt, Qin Ze saw a high shelf, which was used to dry and dye colored cloth.

It is also because of the proximity to the Yongan Canal, so it is very simple to get water.

This weaving workshop used to be an industry called Xiangfu Cloth Village, but now because there is something to do in a hurry, it was taken down by Wang Fu and them.

It's good that they don't have to reorganize everything.

When Qin Ze came, it was already past noon. Wang Yuxi didn't know when he came, and was explaining to the workers of the weaving workshop inside.

Qin Ze also knew that he couldn't understand, so he took Erhu around the weaving mill back and forth. Not to mention that the area is quite large, there are four large and small courtyards.

A courtyard is used to stock up on various silk threads, as well as a warehouse for finished products.

A little further on, where the shreds were cooked, I saw three cauldrons in a room about the size of a basketball court. Qin Ze estimated it, put himself and Erhu in this pot, and added a little side dishes.

These two places occupy a large area, and the remaining two courtyards add up to only this one.

The sunny side is close to the Yong'an Canal and is used to dry the finished product. The courtyard on the other side is where the weaver girls used to weave cloth.

After visiting all the courtyards, Qin Ze had only one thought in his heart, and that was his sympathy for these weavers.

At this time, there were no later large spinning wheels, and they all used hand-cranked single spindle spinning wheels, and you can know how simple this thing is by listening to the name.

According to Qin Ze's understanding, it is a wheel, plus a copper ingot, and then fixed to a wooden frame, and a hand-cranked single spindle spinning wheel is ready.

When you want to spin the thread, you first use a copper ingot and hand to knead the silk thread, and then wrap it around the wooden wheel little by little.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that a pair of hands not only has to rub the silk thread, but also turn the wooden wheel, and the speed is not much faster.

The person in charge of introducing Qin Ze was a person in charge here, wearing a gray linen robe, and his two eyes didn't know what was going on, no matter how Qin Ze looked at it, it was as if he hadn't opened it.

It is also because of this characteristic that he has a very apt title - Rat Master. And this guy is called this, not only is he not angry, but he still looks happy.

The rat master was also ordered to take Qin Ze around, and his owner said that everything Qin Ze said could not be listened to. All the questions asked by Qin Ze can not be replied to.

Of course, Qin Ze didn't know about this, he was bored to death every day, and suddenly had such a career, not to mention how enthusiastic he was.

But no matter how high the enthusiasm is, it can't stop this tattered loom, how can it be possible to weave good cloth with this thing.

Seeing Qin Ze staring at the loom, the rat master on the other side hurriedly laughed, walked to the side of the loom, pointed to the copper ingot on it and said, "Is the Qin Dong family curious about this?"

As he spoke, he gently flicked the copper ingot, and said proudly: "In the past, our owner was born in the Ministry of Industry, and he was relatively good at this one, so he modified this thing."

Qin Ze was really a little unbearable when he saw his pride and show off. But thinking that this weaving mill also had its own profits, he lightly pointed to the loom and said, "What are their feet doing when they weave?"

"What?" Not only was the rat in charge, but even the second tiger looked at Qin Ze with a puzzled expression.

The rat master was shocked, thinking that if he really said the same thing as Wang Dongjia, this young master was also a fool who didn't understand anything.

However, Qin Ze's identity was there, even if he was disdainful in his heart, he still smiled and said: "This foot is naturally standing on the ground......

"Then why don't you weave cloth with your feet?" Qin Ze remembered that when he was a child, he had a weaving wheel at home, which was a relic of the Qing Dynasty.

He remembered that the loom did not use his hands to turn the wheels, but to use his feet.

Erhu glanced at the helpless Rat Master with a sympathetic look, his own young master still understood, in some ways he was incredibly smart, but in others he was like a fool.

Just like weaving cloth with his feet now, if he hadn't taken into account Qin Ze's face, the two tigers would have laughed out loud.

The muscles on the rat master's face twitched for a while, and only after half a sound did he smile very stiffly and said, "Qin Dongjia doesn't know anything, this person's feet are naturally not flexible. Not to mention weaving cloth with your feet, even frustrating twine is a bit troublesome. ”

"That is, everyone eats with their hands, why don't you see anyone eating with their feet?"

Before Qin Ze could speak, he heard a crisp voice behind him. turned his head to look and found more than a dozen girls standing behind him, but Wang Yuxi didn't know when he finished the explanation, and was taking them back to weave.

"Xiaocui, don't talk nonsense, the son is white and clean, maybe he can weave cloth with his feet."

This time it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who spoke, and after just one glance at Qin Ze, she was shocked by her height. She stood in the crowd, and she couldn't even notice her. Because she is a head taller than the people around her, Qin Ze estimates that even she is better than others.

"Sister Big Flower, what about Childe looking at you again? Why don't you use your feet to weave a cloth for Childe? The girl named Xiaocui was not to be outdone, and said with her head held high.

"Hahaha......"

These girls are different from those ladies, and they all grow up in a more free environment. In the face of the opposite sex, it is much bolder than everyone else.

What's more, Qin Ze is indeed good-looking, and he is a scholar at a glance, so it is natural for these girls to tease him.

It is said that three women are in one play, and Qin Ze feels that he is facing a super long series.

Wang Yuxi has long known Qin Ze's character, this kind of person who can say that he can weave cloth with his feet, he really doesn't know if he is ridiculous, or should he be said to be ignorant.

He waved his hand behind him, signaled them to be quiet, and said, "Let's start weaving as we said before."

"Oh, I still don't believe it." Qin Ze secretly sighed in his heart. looked at Wang Yuxi, who pretended not to exist, and said, "Miss Wang, don't believe what she says?"

"How do you make me believe? Even if you could weave with your feet, only you would. Wang Yuxi was very helpless, and said that he didn't listen at that time and let him come here.

When Qin Ze heard this, he smiled and said, "Why don't we make a bet, if I really let everyone weave cloth with their feet, I will call you a little lady in the future, and you must not be angry."

"You dare!" As soon as Qin Ze's words were finished, Wang Yuxi gritted his teeth and spit out two words, and his apricot eyes were full of coldness.

The girls who were originally walking towards the weaving cart immediately stared at them with big eyes as soon as they heard Qin Ze's words.

For this new owner, they really don't understand what the relationship is. said that they were husband and wife but behaved so differently, and said that they were not husband and wife, but the two were so ambiguous.

Wang Yuxi is not as cheeky as Qin Ze, and being stared at by so many people all of a sudden, Wang Yuxi also blushed.

It's also thanks to the fact that this is in the Tang Dynasty, and it's also thanks to Wang Yuxi's lively personality, if it is changed to another dynasty, Qin Ze's words are ruining people's innocence, and I am afraid that he will be beaten to death.

However, Wang Yuxi has been taking care of the family's business since she was a child, and her mother died early, so she has always been resolute. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so cheerful after carrying the thin life.

"It's really not good, call you Yuxi?" This is Qin Ze's ultimate goal, but he talks about the little lady first, and then Yuxi. It sounds much more acceptable.

Wang Yuxi also couldn't stand Qin Ze's scoundrel appearance, tilted his head to look at Qin Ze at the moment, thought about it and said, "If you can't do it, you will be responsible for carrying water for the dyeing workshop in the future."

"Deal."

Qin Ze agreed in one bite, and it was impossible for him to lose anyway, so it didn't matter what Wang Yuxi said.

Seeing that their two owners had made such a bet, the girls who were watching were also puzzled. However, there are still bold ones, and they directly said to Qin Ze: "Childe, I can say it first, when the time comes, we won't be able to weave cloth, you can't blame us for being stupid."

"No blame, no blame. Just give me three days, and I will not only be able to teach you how to weave with your feet, but you will also be twice as fast. ”

Doubling the statement is that Qin Ze deliberately said it smaller, although he knew that using the foot pedal to turn the wooden wheel could increase the speed. But I don't know how much I can improve, so in order to ensure that I won't be slapped in the face at that time, Qin Ze only doubled.

"Ignorance." Wang Yuxi listened to Qin Ze's words, shook his head and spit out two words with contempt.

Qin Ze's eyebrows jumped, and he was about to shoot back when he turned his head, but Wang Yuxi spit out two more words.

"Scoundrel."

After saying this, he ignored Qin Ze and ordered everyone to do their own work.

"You'll see." Qin Ze glanced at Wang Yuxi's delicate little face viciously, turned his head and pulled the rat master who was about to slip away and said, "Rat master, do you have any extra spinning wheels here, let me bring one back for transformation."

"Qin Dongjia, this spinning wheel can't be stopped for a moment." The rat master smiled bitterly and said, "There is a scrapped one in the warehouse, or ......."

"Forget it." Qin Ze readily agreed, anyway, just add a pedal, there should be a frame.
