The cotton machine made by Shen Junchuan is very easy to use, and now Lin Zhiyun collects cotton with others, especially those that have not even peeled the seeds, because those are cheaper.

When they had almost finished preparing the cotton, they began to recruit older women to come and spin the yarn, and asked for them to come over in their fifties and sixties, but in good spirits, saying that they were giving them a guarantee.

Even if the countryman lives to be fifty or sixty years old, he will not be able to be idle because he is tired and tired before. But when they are tired to this age, their health has long been failing, and if they still go to work in the fields, it is easy to have accidents. But it's different when you spin, although you are busy with work, you can sit down, and it's definitely much easier than going to the ground.

Many aunts and aunts were very happy when they heard this, and hurriedly ran towards the Shen family, wanting to see if they could be admitted.

Lin Zhiyun prepared a total of twenty spinning machines, all of which were placed on the side of the textile courtyard. Because there were a lot of people who came, Lin Zhiyun took them all to the spinning house and showed them in person, so that everyone who thought they could do it could go up and try it.

Only three people learned this first time, so Lin Zhiyun demonstrated it a second time. By the time she had recruited twenty people, she had already demonstrated it five times, so although the rest of the people were unwilling, they couldn't say anything.

If others don't learn it, it's fine, but there are twenty people who have learned and they still haven't learned, so it only means that the twenty people who have learned are more suitable for spinning than them, right?

Spinning thread is indeed a good buddy for these aunts and aunts, not only can they sit every day, but they can also chat. Anyway, everyone is sitting in the same room, and they are all from Willow Village and Huaihua Village, even if they didn't know each other before, they are all familiar, so they get acquainted quickly.

When they all received their wages after a month, they were even happier. It's the first time they've made so much money in a month! Lin Zhiyun's wages are calculated according to the threads they spin, and she counts how much money is a thread outside, but she uses a spinning machine improved by Shen Junchuan, and the thread that can be spun is more than half of the outside, so the people in the village feel that they have made a lot of money.

In this month, all the female workers in the weaving room were recruited, which Lin Zhiyun didn't expect. She found that there were several little girls or women in the village who were very sensitive to color, and she loved them for a while, so she took them with her and taught them, and they were soon able to get started. As for literacy and arithmetic, in fact, you can learn it slowly in the weaving room, just teach them a few words every day, and after a long time, these words are used more times, and they will naturally remember them.

At first, Shen Junyao wanted to weave cloth at home, so that she could concentrate on studying the weaving method of jacquard cloth. It's just that when she saw that Lin Zhiyun still had to teach everyone to read, she was a little moved and followed.

She also learned to read and write from her father and brother back then, but she hadn't touched it for so long, and she had long been unfamiliar. Now that I have this opportunity, I might as well pick them up one by one.

This month, more than 80 pieces of cloth were woven in Lin Zhiyun's textile yard, of which 62 were monochrome. The traveling merchant did not regret seeing it, saying that this monochrome cloth was as easy to sell, after all, the grocery store was actually more patronized by ordinary people, and this monochrome Yunchuan cloth was very affordable for them.

"Sister-in-law Sichuan doesn't know, now Yunchuan cloth is famous in the city, and in a few streets near the grocery store, there is no one who doesn't know Yun Chuanbu. It's a pity that the current supply is still too small to satisfy everyone. While telling them about the sale of Yunchuan cloth, the traveling merchant happily checked the Yunchuan cloth that Lin Zhiyun asked him to take away, "Yo, these jacquard groups are different from the previous ones, and my sister-in-law has a lot of ideas!" ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "It's already late autumn, so I drew chrysanthemums, hibiscus and osmanthus patterns, and used this to weave cloth, I hope someone will like it." ”

Although the patterns she designed according to these three kinds of flowers were exquisite, they were not as difficult to weave as last time, so she knitted five horses of each, a number that surprised the wandering merchants.

"Sister-in-law Chuan's hands are not only getting more and more skillful, but the weaving is getting faster and faster." You Shang smiled, "Such a suitable material, you will definitely not worry about selling it when you arrive in Fucheng, sister-in-law can rest assured." But this time I can take fifteen horses, and maybe twenty next time? ”

What you Shang is most looking forward to seeing every time is the jacquard cloth woven by Lin Zhiyun himself, he thinks these are better than what he saw in the cloth village outside, and he doesn't know how Lin Zhiyun came up with it. As long as Lin Zhiyun is willing, he can actually sell it at a higher price. But Lin Zhiyun was unwilling, and he wouldn't say anything.

For him, Lin Zhiyun can certainly earn more by raising the price. But if Lin Zhiyun is a person who only knows how to raise prices, then it is not worth his cooperation. He has been a merchant for so many years, even if he doesn't sell Lin Zhiyun's Yunchuan cloth, he can still make a lot of money. But the personalities of Shen Junchuan and Lin Zhiyun are worthy of his trust, so he is willing to cooperate with them for a long time.

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "I don't have the ability to weave twenty pieces of jacquard cloth a month." But recently, A-Yao has been learning this from me, maybe the next time the merchant comes over, there will be more jacquard cloth on my side? ”

Only then did You Shang look at Shen Junyao. Shen Junyao was at the age of cardamom, and her body had just been pumped. She wore a goose-yellow jacket on her upper body, and a willow-green skirt underneath, and her whole person was as tender as a spring willow in March. She is also wearing yellow and green silk flowers on her head, only a small face is pink and pink, looking as if the flower bones that are about to bloom, delicate and a little shy and gentle, very pleasing.

You Shang only glanced at it and looked away, the roots of his ears were slightly red, and his heartbeat suddenly increased a little. He didn't know what was wrong with him, obviously Lin Zhiyun's appearance was more outstanding, and he had never felt like this.

But this girl is still too young, how can he think otherwise? You Shang felt that if he came back next time, it would be better to find a way to avoid Shen Junyao.

Shen Junyao didn't notice the strangeness of the traveling merchant, she only felt that the traveling merchant was very powerful and very good at doing business.

"Brother You, do you think that the silk flowers on my head will sell well in the grocery store over there?" Shen Junyao pointed to the silk flower on his head and asked.

Recently, Lin Zhiyun made two new clothes for her, and she made two sets of silk flowers with clothes from the leftover rags from the tailoring. This is the first time she wants to make silk flowers by herself, so she really wants to be affirmed by others. Although Lin Zhiyun had already praised her, she always felt that Lin Zhiyun had always been gentle with her, even if she didn't do well, Lin Zhiyun would not tell her the truth. Compared with Lin Zhiyun, it is more accurate to think that it is still a traveling businessman. Because the traveling merchants often run the business, the vision should be more poisonous in this regard.

You Shang glanced at the silk flowers on the top of Shen Junyao's head again and said with a smile: "The pair of silk flowers on Miss Yao's head is chic, I have never seen this kind of pattern, if it is put in Fucheng, it should be able to sell for thirty wen a pair." ”

"That's not a lot." Shen Junyao suddenly became happy.

She thought about it, she couldn't stay at home and help her sister-in-law for the rest of her life. When she gets married in the future, she will no longer be able to help her sister-in-law weave. Although she has mastered her sister-in-law's recipe, it was her sister-in-law's idea, and she can't take it for herself. If she weaves cloth in an ordinary way, the cloth she weaves is not that valuable, and she really can't do much by herself.

Since this is the case, then she still wants to make a living. She actually prefers to make silk flowers than weaving, and she plans to marry herself in the future, so she makes a living by making silk flowers. Doing this allows her to use her odd and small time, which is very convenient.

If she can learn her sister-in-law's imitation silk flowers, she can sell them for more silver. It's just that my sister-in-law has been busy during this time, and she doesn't want to talk too much.

Seeing that she was happy, You Shang couldn't help but say again: "But flowers with beads and tassels have been popular in Fucheng recently, if Miss Yao is curious, I will bring you two pairs of you back next time, and you will know when the time comes." ”

Shen Junyao was pleasantly surprised: "Is it really possible?" ”

When she was happy, her eyes seemed to be shining, and You Shang couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.

"Naturally, there are a lot of them in that grocery store, and for me it is just a gesture to carry a few silk flowers." You Shang said with a smile.

"Then trouble Brother You, I'll tell me the price when you buy it back, and I'll give you money then."

You Shang wanted to talk about small things, but he couldn't afford Shen Junyao to pay for it himself. But he also knew that if he really said such a thing, Shen Junyao would definitely be embarrassed to ask him to buy it, so he simply swallowed these words back.

After all, the little girl is thin-skinned, in order to make this little girl not so embarrassed, he will buy something for Sister-in-law Sichuan and Aunt Shen next time, in addition to silk flowers. In this way, everyone will have it, and the little girl will not be cranky.

"Miss Yao, don't worry, next time I will pick the two most beautiful flowers for you to bring back."

Shen Junyao was even happier: "Brother You is really a good person!" ”

Lin Zhiyun couldn't help but smile when he saw that the two of them were chatting happily. She originally saw that Shen Junyao was a little shy, and she was worried that her temperament would not be good for going out to socialize with people in the future. But looking at the way she smiled when chatting with the wanderer, this temperament should be slowly improving, right?

It's okay like this, otherwise if you are like before, you will definitely be bullied if you marry in the future.

Although Lin Zhiyun felt that Shen Junyao was still young, he was fourteen years old, so he should look at it. I can only hope that Shen Junchuan will be admitted to Xiucai in one fell swoop next year, so that Shen Junyao's relatives will be easier to find.

Shen Junyao didn't think about her own family affairs, she really felt that she was still young, and she hadn't enlightened yet, so she wasn't in a hurry about it at all. At the moment, she was only thinking about how much money she still had, and whether she could drag the traveling merchant to help buy some rare things in Fucheng in the future. Although the silk flowers are beautiful, sometimes she also covets the hairbrushes and hairpins worn on other people's heads.

Now that she has plenty of money, it's time to think about these things.
