Chapter 169: The Past
During this time, the King of Jin had successfully ascended the throne, and also successfully rebelled against Zhang Qi, the first general in the hands of King Yu, to continue to stay and be the commander of the garrison in the capital.
There are also those courtiers who have different intentions, all of which are eliminated by the King of Jin under various banners, either openly or covertly.
These Kyoto secrets were all found by Ling Shangge's intelligence network, Lin Jiu was very satisfied, and she was even happier when she learned that Chu Linghui had been reused by King Jin until now.
The boiled world is also on the right track, the ambitious Lin Jiu wants to open up other businesses, although the Zhao family no longer continues to make cloth art, but after all, the Zheng family's grandmother has guided her for so long to be a female celebrity, and now it can be regarded as a lot of refinement.
So she didn't want to just put it down, so she often bought some fabrics and came back and made her own knick-knacks.
Lin Jiu knew that he wouldn't stop it, after all, if she let her mother have too much energy, she would suffer.
Lin Jiu was idle on this day, and did not go to the restaurant, so he accompanied the Zhao family and the Zheng family's grandmother to the cloth village to select fabrics.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao had free time, he persisted in trying to admonish her, and Lin Jiu, who felt that his ears were already calloused, had to subjectively block the chattering Zhao family, and instead turned his attention to a pair of young mother and daughter who could not be selected not far from them.
"Mother, these colors are too old, I'm still so young, I can't set off my temperament at all."
The lady nodded, but her face was a little embarrassed.
"Daughter, this green jade may already be the most colorful in the town." His hand rummaged over the other cloths, "If you go to another house, there will be no more tricks, so you might as well just give it up." ”
The girl also knew that her mother was telling the truth, so in the end she had to nod reluctantly, picked two batches of fabrics, Chu red and cyan, and the mother and daughter left.
Listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, Lin Jiu felt that she had a huge business opportunity, and she didn't care about things such as dressing up, and the Zhao family helped her.
I have never paid attention to the color of the cloth, but when I look closely, I find that there are indeed very few colors of the fabric in this store, and most of them are dark colors, which are not suitable for girls at all.
Therefore, after returning home, Lin Jiu buried himself in the room, and specially asked the Zhao family not to disturb.
Lin Jiu went into the space, she remembered that one of the books she hid was a recipe for dyeing cloth, and she searched for a long time in the space before finding it.
The next day after copying the recipe, Lin Jiu couldn't wait to try it, and went out early in the morning after breakfast, running all over the market and prescriptions, and then bought all the things on the recipe.
After returning home, Lin Jiu took out the broken pot that had been discarded at home, put it on the fire, added water to boil, and added the purchased materials to the pot in order of proportion, until the color was strong, and Lin Jiu stopped burning the fire.
She asked Zhao for a small piece of white cotton cloth, held it with chopsticks, and put it in the dyeing pot, and the cotton cloth quickly turned a beautiful aqua blue.
According to the method in the book, Lin Jiu soaked the cotton cloth in the dye overnight, and only took it out the next day and dried it, although the color was slightly lightened, and the cotton cloth waiting for this time, as well as Lin Jiu's clumsy dyeing technique, can be glimpsed one or two, indicating that this recipe is feasible.
The grandmother of the Zheng family was amazed when she saw it: "Miss Jiu'er, where did you get this dye from?" I've lived so long, and I've never seen such a beautiful cloth! ”
Lin Jiu smiled and said, "Grandma don't worry, let's open a dyeing workshop to dye cloth by ourselves when we go back, and dye whatever color you want." ”
Zhao Shi laughed when he heard this: "There are already so many dyeing workshops in this town, where can we make money by opening them again?" It's just a matter of having nothing to do, just have fun. ”
Lin Jiu knew that her mother had always sought stability and was unwilling to do risky things, so she was not prepared to talk about her next plans.
As soon as the experiment was successful, she found Chen Nong and asked him to help him pay attention to see if there was a small dyeing workshop that was going to be made recently.
Although Chen Nong is now the shopkeeper of the boiled world, he is very busy with business every day, but with Chen Yichun's help, he can still spare this time.
However, it is not easy to find a dyeing workshop that meets Lin Jiu's conditions.
This dyeing business had never been contacted before, and Lin Jiu didn't want to make a rash move, so he thought about setting up a smaller dyeing house and trying the water first, so that in case of loss, it would not hurt his muscles and bones.
But although the sparrows are small, they have all the internal organs, because they have no experience in dyeing, so Lin Jiu hopes that the dyeing masters of the dyeing workshop can also stay, and it will save them from being in a hurry to take over directly.
Chen Nong agreed with her idea, and after looking for about half a month, he found a dyeing workshop on the edge of the town, the area of the entire dyeing workshop was about the same size as where Lin Jiu lived, but all kinds of facilities were complete.
And the owner of this dyeing workshop is the dyeing master, I heard that Chen Long and they are willing to bid, so they are also willing to stay and work for them, Chen Nong and Lin Jiu discussed, and decided to take down this shop.
However, although Lin Jiu didn't know how to dye cloth, she wouldn't let others touch this dyeing recipe, so she boiled the dye herself first under the guidance of her master.
On the first day of the dye workshop, Lin Jiu was not greedy, and only prepared one color of dye, which was the water blue he experimented.
When Lin Jiu boiled the dye and sent it to the dyeing room, Master Gu's eyes lit up when he saw it: "Girl, where did you get this dye house?" ”
As soon as he saw Master Gu's amazing eyes, Lin Jiu knew that there was a chance that this business would be successful, so he smiled and said, "This is a secret, if I don't have any skills, I wouldn't dare to take down your shop." ”
Lin Jiu was telling the truth, Master Gu turned out to be Qingyu's master of dyeing, but later because of the conflict with Mrs. Hu's nephew, he was ostracized and couldn't do it, so he had to go home and use this craft to open a small dyeing workshop.
Although he has good dyeing skills, he doesn't have a good dye recipe, and he can't dye any good steps, so for so many years, his small dyeing workshop has not made any money in the past, and people who know the inside story don't dare to take down his shop, after all, taking down his shop is equivalent to fighting against Qingyu.
"That's what the girl said." Master Gu smiled and said.
Lin Jiu knew that this was a smart person, so he didn't say anything. After handing over the dye to Master Gu, she left, and she was not good at the rest of the work.
Two days later, Master Gu came to the door happily with a dyed cloth.
As soon as he saw Lin Jiu, he couldn't wait to say: "Girl, our cloth workshop will definitely make money, look at this cloth, I have never seen such a watery blue before." ”
The Zhao family and the Zheng family's grandmother didn't know that Lin Jiu had already prepared the cloth workshop, but when they heard Master Gu's words, they all looked at Lin Jiu with wide eyes.
Lin Jiu smiled, took the cloth in Master Gu's hand and handed it to the two: "Grandma, mother, look at how my cloth is." ”
The two of them have been female celebrities for many years, and they are also half experts, and when they saw this fabric, they all smiled and nodded.
Lin Jiu was even happier to get the affirmation of the two, but Lin Jiu was not in a hurry to sell the blue cloth, but boiled several colors of dyes and handed them to Master Gu, namely hibiscus, smoke purple and lotus blue.
Master Gu was even more excited when he saw so many kinds of dyes, and hurriedly said to Lin Jiu: "Girl, don't worry, I will definitely dye this cloth for you properly." ”
Lin Jiu naturally believed him, because the dyeing room was small, and there were too many workers to do it, so Master Gu only brought one small worker, and the two of them worked hard for seven or eight days in a row before dyeing two pieces of cloth of each color.
The cloth is there, and it is time to sell, Lin Jiu pushed all the things to Chen Nong because he was too lazy.
However, their cloth is brightly colored, which is scarce in the market, and there is no need for Chen Nong to bother at all, these eight pieces of cloth were directly sold for sixty taels of silver, and they were not sold to other families, it was Master Gu's old customer - Qingyu Cloth Workshop. This fine cloth immediately attracted the attention of the shopkeeper, and instead of immediately placing the cloth on the shelf, he first took it to meet Mrs. Hu, who was the proprietress of their Qingyu cloth workshop.
