Chapter 10: Caiyun Pavilion

In ancient times, most of the sewing machines were bulky and difficult to use, so they advocated the supremacy of manpower, Sun Qi followed Zhang Caiyun all the way, first entered a large hall, with a radius of more than 20 zhang, full of all kinds of textile machines, there were several water-powered spinning wheels, as well as two rows of pedal looms, and even in some remote corners, there were some of the most primitive spinning machines, under the operation of dozens of weaver girls, they ran by themselves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It was here that all kinds of ordinary raw materials, such as flax, cotton, and wool, were turned into cloth or cloth for sewing.

When these weaver girls saw Zhang Caiyun, they all nodded respectfully, and Zhang Caiyun also turned around to show their salutes. The Weaver Girls kept their hands in motion, but they were curious about who the young brother who followed behind the hostess was.

Just passed, is the Weaver Girl Palace, the peak turns around, after several twists and turns, in a blink of an eye came to the 'material room', there are all kinds of wool, cotton, hemp piled up in the corner, flax and kapok are abundant in eastern Zhejiang, so these materials are countless, several teenagers and girls are working tirelessly to classify these raw materials, and then transport them to the Weaver Girl Palace.

The young girls looked at the man who was talking happily with the hostess with one eye, and they were all puzzled, knowing that Zhang Caiyun, the eldest lady of the Zhang family, usually would not be approached by a strange man.

"Childe, do you know who is the ancestor of the textile machine?"

The two talked very happily, and Xiao Yun was impatient and angry.

If it weren't for the knowledge in the previous life, it was okay, but I was almost stumped by common sense. Sun Qi cleared his throat and said, "...... The earliest Huang Zhipo, in order to avoid the war in the Central Plains, fled to Yazhou Island in the South China Sea, where the Li people, the best at weaving and sewing, Huang Zhipo poured her heart to the local people for advice, spinning with kapok wool, and then using rice wine, coconut water, and bark as pigments to modulate and dye the thread, using the machine heald line, holding flowers, weaving textile and printing and dyeing technology, and invented the first pedal 'three blooms and three lines' spinning car and 'weaving waist machine' loom, and later Huang Zhipo returned to her hometown, this technology was also brought to the Central Plains, spreading the earth. Sister Caiyun, Xiaosheng said it well. ”

Sun Qi retrieved the history in his brain and talked eloquently.

Zhang Caiyun was stunned at the moment, his eyes were full of admiration, and even the few weaver girls who followed him secretly applauded. I didn't think that this little student was not only made of wooden donkeys well, but also knew a lot about textiles, so she gave Xiao Yun a look and asked her to give up this dialectic.

"No, Xiao Yun has to take a look, whether this sheep thief is really Sun Qi, Xiao Yun must wait and see."

Seeing Xiao Yun's breath, her brain couldn't turn around, so Zhang Caiyun had to smile bitterly.

"What do you think about textile improvement?"

Zhang Caiyun is most concerned about this issue, no matter whether Xiao Yun takes Sun Qi seriously or not, she has already regarded Sun Qi as the real Sun Qi in her heart.

"I'm here for this matter, in fact, Xiaosheng already has an idea in his heart, but he has nowhere to tell."

Sun Qi scratched his hair and said helplessly. His family doesn't run a textile shop, and even if he can produce sewing machine looms, there are not so many raw materials to use, so she needs a backer.

"You said to the girl, if it is a good suggestion, the girl must vigorously support Sun Gongzi."

Zhang Caiyun's eyes flashed with brilliance, the current textile efficiency and sewing efficiency are very low, and it has always been a big problem for her. Many villagers still can't wear custom-made new clothes when they reach the end of the year.

The two turned to a secluded forest, which used to be the sewing factory, the last processing place, where Xiao Yun was going to duel with Sun Qi when she was knitting.

"Let's put aside the textile, let's talk about sewing first, Xiaosheng has conceived a new sewing machine, if it can be vigorously promoted, it will be able to improve the efficiency of Guige's production by more than ten times."

Zhang Caiyun was very surprised when she heard this, and even her steps were a little staggering, if Sun Qi hadn't helped her, she would have been injured a long time ago.

Ten times? Zhang Caiyun almost unsteady on the soles of his feet, and Sun Qi held Caiyun's waist again.

"You mean, the machine you built for your mother can be mass-produced?"

Zhang Caiyun didn't feel that men and women were intimate, she only felt that the whole world was upside down, but she saw it with her own eyes, Chang Xinyan used that mysterious sewing machine to complete the task of piling up for half a month in one day. Zhang Caiyun was about to faint with happiness.

"Yes, let's talk about textile dyeing, once the cloth is dyed, all kinds of patterns such as Li brocade and tube skirts are woven, as well as chicken patterns, frog patterns, horsetail patterns and other high-grade patterns, although they are shining, but the efficiency is very low, and you can't complete a few decent clothes in ten days and a half months, isn't it?"

Zhang Caiyun nodded secretly, although these high-grade lines and patterns are all artificially made, sewn together with a needle and a thread, which can be described as 'machine Seiko, a hundred flowers and thousands of flowers', but after all, human hands are not as good as machines.

"Sun Gongzi can be reasonable, about every two hours, the girl can weave a frog pattern, not to mention a lot of workmanship, every time it is completed at the end of the month, she always has to sleep for a few days to rest."

Zhang Caiyun can be described as pouring bitter water, complaining to Sun Qi, she has already regarded Sun Qi as her savior, if there can be a textile machine and sewing machine to replace manpower, then Caiyun Pavilion is bound to dominate the bottom of the ditch and revitalize the textile industry in Pinghu County.

The idea in my heart is very beautiful, but the reality is difficult and bitter, the current lack of funds, Zhang Caiyun is happy and knows that this is unrealistic after half a second, although Sun Qi is a skilled craftsman, but the power of one person is not enough to be famous in the world.

"This problem, don't worry about Sister Caiyun, Xiaosheng will solve it by herself, I currently hope that Sister Caiyun can provide a platform to display the new machine, and Xiaosheng will be satisfied."

"No problem, as long as Childe can make this new machine in large quantities, no matter how novel and weird, the girl will not be afraid and will accept it calmly."

The two hit it off, and Sun Qi calculated his white essence in his heart, and there were forty-four.

"If I can do some special tasks, make the white essence reach fifty, and then manufacture it in large quantities, I will be promoted to the fourth level of trainee mechanic, and the manufacturing efficiency will be greatly improved."

"Moreover, after my search, I found a new type of textile machine, which is also semi-automatic, but can save more than ten times manpower, and only five white essences are needed to unlock, and one white essence is needed for manufacturing."

Sun Qi calculated very carefully in his heart, every account, every white essence, could not be spent in vain.

"Childe, the sewing factory has arrived, please take a closer look."

The sewing factory is divided into two floors, one manual and one with several old-fashioned sewing machines.

Sun Qi glanced at it and knew why Zhang Caiyun was so eager for a new sewing machine.

Dozens of women with needles and threads in their hands sat on the floor, cloth in their hands, and sewed carefully, except for a few lucky women who operated the old-fashioned sewing machines on the stairs.

But the efficiency was extremely low, and Sun Qi saw the semi-automatic sewing machine made by himself on the stairs at a glance, delicate and neat, empty. In stark contrast to the bulky old-fashioned sewing machine next to it.

"I'm afraid no one will use it except my mother!"

Sun Qi laughed secretly, arched his hand to Xiao Yun on the side, signaled her to be casual, and then walked straight to the semi-automatic sewing machine.
