CHAPTER XLIV

Carpenter Zhang was also amazed when he saw the loom, he had also made several looms for people before, but they were all old styles, and they couldn't weave such wide cloth. He is a skillful person, as long as he tells him what to do, or directly does it for his reference, he can do it, but if he has to figure it out himself, he can't figure it out.

"That's good, I should be able to do it, I'll try it when I get back." Carpenter Zhang smiled, "I tried to make this first one, and if it is not successful, I will not be charged." If it succeeds, tell me how many you want to order, and I will definitely do it for you. ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "As long as this can be done well, I will definitely order a few more at that time, and maybe I can open a small cloth village." ”

Carpenter Zhang nodded happily and said yes, he originally liked Shen Junchuan very much, and now that Shen Junchuan has gone to study, he also takes great care of several female relatives of the Shen family, and often asks Jiang Xiaohui to come over to see what they lack. However, what can the Shen family lack now, when Jiang Xiaohui is stuffed back by Lin Zhiyun, it will make the Zhang family embarrassed.

Zhang Carpenter's first improved loom was not very successful, and when Shen Junchuan came back from school, he hurriedly went to ask for advice, and was instructed by Shen Junchuan to get through immediately.

"Hahaha, I know that your kid is the most talented in this area, if you can't study in the future, you can be more suitable than my bastard boy to inherit my job." Carpenter Zhang said.

Shen Junchuan smiled: "Where is it?" I learned all this skill from Uncle Zhang, if I didn't have Uncle Zhang's help, where would I be where I am today? ”

Carpenter Zhang said with a smile: "You can have today, mainly because this daughter-in-law is married well, not only can make money, but also is a virtuous helper, what does it have to do with me?" ”

At the beginning, he just watched Shen Junchuan pitifully help him with a few handfuls to eat, which was not much kindness. After all, Shen Junchuan has been a smart kid since he was a child, and he has a lot of strength, even if he doesn't help, Shen Junchuan will not starve to death.

"If Uncle Zhang hadn't taught me woodwork, even if a good daughter-in-law married into the door, I wouldn't have the ability to please her."

This was actually a joke, Shen Junchuan could see that as long as he treated Lin Zhiyun well, he would not do anything, and Lin Zhiyun would not dislike him. He couldn't tell why, but he faintly felt that Lin Zhiyun had trusted him from the beginning, and this trust was also the main reason why the couple could live a harmonious and beautiful life. As for where Shen Junchuan came from, he didn't explore it, just thought that the couple were a natural pair.

"You kid, you can't speak freely, what if your daughter-in-law is serious?" Carpenter Zhang has been taking care of him for many years, and he has long regarded him as his own nephew, so he couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and said seriously.

Shen Junchuan naturally responded, he didn't think like this in the first place, how could he really let Lin Zhiyun misunderstand.

"I naturally know, my wife and I have always been open to everything, and there will be no misunderstanding." Shen Junchuan said with a smile, "This loom is not easy to make, and it will be more troublesome for Uncle Zhang in the future." ”

Carpenter Zhang smiled: "What kind of trouble is this? I love to do this, but unfortunately my family has no talent. ”

"Leizi is just uncertain, Uncle Zhang just teaches more."

Carpenter Zhang knows Zhang Lei's level better than anyone else, he is not bad among the apprentices in this industry, and he can also become a teacher, if he works hard, he can mix like Carpenter Zhang in the future. But the problem is that Carpenter Zhang has seen the more talented Shen Junchuan, so he feels that his son is not enough.

Shen Junchuan was also very helpless, but he himself wondered how he was so talented as a carpenter? It seems that their ancestors of the Shen family have never had a carpenter!

After Shen Junchuan went home, he told Lin Zhiyun that the Zhang family would definitely be able to help her make a few more improved looms, and Lin Zhiyun suddenly smiled.

"Why don't I ask someone to buy a loom and come back another day, can you see if you can change it?"

The loom is more expensive than the ordinary loom, and Lin Zhiyun's loom was also bought by Lin Qingshan when he went to Fucheng to buy it for her, if it weren't for the fact that the Shen family went to the Xu family to make trouble the next day after marriage, the Wang family didn't want to return it to her. Even if Lin Xiuyue can't weave, she can make a lot of money by renting a loom to others to weave!

As for the silk loom, it is even more rare, but I am afraid that they can't buy it in the city, because few people in their generation grow mulberry and raise silkworms, let alone weave silk.

Shen Junchuan smiled when he heard this: "Our Daiyun County is not a very rich place, and there are only a few families who can afford to buy silk and satin. If you rob all this business, can Markham House still tolerate it? ”

Lin Zhiyun nodded stupidly: "You're right, I'd better get these cotton cloths right first, I want to fly before I walk, it's really not right." ”

Lin Zhiyun felt that he was carried away by excitement, but fortunately, Shen Junchuan reminded him in time, otherwise he was afraid that he would commit other people's taboos and bring disaster to his family.

Lin Zhiyun temporarily put aside the idea of weaving silk and began to weave those monochrome cotton cloths. After Carpenter Zhang made an improved loom, she taught Shen Junyao and He to weave together.

"I heard that there are often several people in Jiangnan who buy looms together, even if it is just one, it can provide food and clothing for several families. They can still rent out the loom to make money, is my sister-in-law also going to do the same? Shen Junyao asked.

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "It's not a lease, I want to ask someone to weave cloth, I will come out of the loom, I will come out of the silk thread, and I will draw fifty percent of each cloth." If this business can be started, I may not make a lot of money, but many families in the village can live better. It's just that I don't have any preparations at hand now, and I have to do it step by step. ”

Shen Junyao asked again: "What about the woven cloth now?" Is it also to sell it at Markham? ”

"Since it is my own family to sell in the future, I can't take it to Markham, otherwise I can't tell the difference in the future. Besides, Markham has a good attitude towards me now, but if we become competitors in the future, how can it be so good? Lin Zhiyun said with a smile, "Knit it now, and when you and your mother have learned, you can become a steward or something in the future." ”

"I'll try to learn, but my mother ...... it"

As long as Shen Junyao has someone to support her, her temper can still harden. But the He family is not good, even if Shen Junchuan is tough like that, the He family is always weak, and the four words of motherhood seem to be reflected in front of her.

Lin Zhiyun thought about it and felt that He was unreliable, so he said: "Even if my mother can't be in charge, after learning to weave, if you encounter others who don't understand, you can also help give you some advice." ”

Shen Junyao also thinks that this is feasible, her mother can't control others, but she is soft-spoken, and it is very suitable to teach people.

Although He's hands are unlucky, he still has some talent in weaving, and the pattern weaving is not very good, but the solid color is faster than Lin Zhiyun. Seeing this, Lin Zhiyun simply let her only weave solid colors, anyway, the countrymen still buy more solid color cloth.

The three of them spent more than a month weaving more than 20 pieces of cloth, and when they didn't know who to sell it to, Shen Junchuan found a merchant to come back.

"This is a famous merchant in our town, surnamed You, the price is fair, and everyone likes to work with him. Didn't you want to sell that cloth lately? You can leave it all to him. Shen Junchuan introduced to Lin Zhiyun.

The merchant smiled: "Isn't it? As long as it's not too bad, there's nothing I can't sell, sister-in-law, although rest assured. ”

Lin Zhiyun has always trusted Shen Junchuan, and naturally believes in his vision, seeing that Shen Junchuan said this, he took three pieces of cloth out to show the traveling merchant. One of them is a solid color, and such cloth is basically woven by Ho. There is also a horse with dark lines, which is very exquisite when you look closely, but it will not be eye-catching, most of this is woven by Shen Junyao, because Shen Junyao is not very good at color matching, and it is too complicated to weave, so Lin Zhiyun asked her to weave such a cloth. The most fancy piece of cloth is woven by Lin Zhiyun himself, with good color matching, beautiful patterns, and meticulous weaving, which can be sold for a lot of money at a glance.

"These fabrics are very good, and even if I don't open my mouth, there must be people rushing to ask for them." The merchant was very pleasantly surprised when he saw it, "I also want to thank Brother Shen for giving me a chance." I just don't know how wide and long this cloth is, and these are also related to the price. ”

Lin Zhiyun reported Changkuan to him, but the merchant didn't dare to believe it when he heard it.

"Is it that wide? The length is about the same as that in ordinary cloth farms. ”

Lin Zhiyun saw that he didn't believe it, so he and Shen Junchuan unfolded all the cloth, and the downstream merchant couldn't believe it. He had already seen that the cloth seemed to be wider than before, but the wide cloth was difficult to weave, since it was so wide, it shouldn't be so long, who knew that the effect of unfolding was so amazing!

The point is that there are actually twenty-five horses of such a wide and long cloth, and at that moment, the traveling merchant feels that he is about to develop.

Shen Junchuan smiled: "How much silver do you think these cloths are worth?" ”

"The solid color alone can be sold for 350 wen, the dark grain can be sold for 500 wen, and the colored one can be sold for 800 wen." The merchant exclaimed, "Sister-in-law is too capable. ”

Shen Junchuan likes to hear people praise his daughter-in-law, so he smiles even deeper.

"In that case, how about you take a 20% cut of the profit per piece of cloth?"

You Lang hurriedly said: "Brother Shen doesn't need to be so polite, how can I be insatiable?" It's enough to just follow one achievement. ”

Shen Junchuan smiled: "I don't think it's enough." I don't just need you to sell the cloth, but to spread the word about it. This cloth is called Yunchuan cloth, the cloud of white clouds, the river of mountains and rivers, and you must shout your name out loud wherever you go. If someone asks you where you bought it, don't tell them just yet. ”

You Merchant nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, don't worry, I have remembered everything." ”

The merchant just muttered secretly in his heart, one is the Shen family's sister-in-law Yun, and the other is Brother Shen's Chuan, is this for fear that others will not know that it is the cloth from their family?

Hey, the newlyweds are quite funny.
