The first process of dyeing and finishing fragrant cloud yarn is to prepare potato water.

After the wild dioscorea is stirred, the residue is removed and the remaining potato juice is used to boil the dioscorea water, which is generally based on the amount of goods to adjust the concentration of the dioscorea water.

If the quantity is too small and the concentration of potato water is too high, it will cause the color of the fragrant cloud yarn to be darker, not light and thin, and not transparent to light.

If the concentration of potato water is too low, it will cause the dyeing and finishing of this batch of fragrant cloud yarn to fail, and it will become a defective product that cannot be put on the table.

Therefore, the concentration of this potato water must be well grasped.

Fu Hui led Zeng Xiuniang into the house, and then she went out to guard outside.

Song Jin didn't worry that there were people in the house, and even Bai He went away, so Zeng Xiuniang and her were left in the house.

Seeing that Zeng Xiuniang's face is still not very good-looking, she must still be worried about dyeing and finishing fragrant cloud yarn.

This order was taken by herself privately, and she has not yet reported to the Zhao family, and now there is such a thing, if the summer clothes ordered by the British government cannot be delivered on time, I am afraid that she will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of a small embroidery workshop manager.

may still make trouble in the end until the Zhao family comes out and the Song family comes out to clean up the situation.

At the very least, the embroidery workshop on Siping Street was closed, and the Zhao family dismissed the embroidery lady in front of him; The most important thing is that the Song family has offended the British public family because of this, but I am afraid that Father Song will not look good in the court.

Song Jin personally took the tea and put it on the high table next to Zeng Xiuniang.

"Steward, I asked you to find a few weavers and embroiderers who can dye or print and dye in the embroidery workshop, how did you find it?"

The matter was urgent, and Zeng Xiuniang didn't dare to deceive Song Jin, so she could only tell the truth.

"Girl, I have already sent someone to ask in the embroidery workshop, and there is only one old weaver in our embroidery workshop, who knows a little bit about dyeing and finishing.

It's just boiling the potato water that dyes and finishes the fragrant cloud yarn, after all, the process is complicated, and an experienced master has to boil it, I'm really worried that he won't be able to boil it! ”

It is already a great blessing to find someone who knows how to dye and finish.

Since you are a person who knows how to dye and finish, you must know how to boil dyes, after all, boiling potato water is still seven or eight points similar to boiling those dyes.

It's just that boiling potato water really requires an experienced master to boil it, and it will be successful.

If you are an inexperienced person, you can boil ten times, and you can succeed once, which is already a great luck.

Now they lack everything at hand, so they can only walk step by step and look at it, buy what they lack, and find what they want.

Taking advantage of the Zhao family's banquet for Mama Tan in the mansion, Song Jin asked Bai He to prepare a carriage, and took Zeng Xiuniang to the embroidery workshop, and saw the weaver who knew a little about dyeing and finishing in Zeng Xiuniang's mouth.

Today is not the day of the market on Siping Street, there are many fewer people on the street, but the stalls selling snacks are still crowded with people.

Bai He got out of the carriage, and Song Jin asked her to buy a bunch of sugar gourds.

After receiving the sugar gourd handed by Bai He, Song Jin followed Zeng Xiuniang and swaggered into the embroidery workshop, and then entered the hospitality room behind the embroidery workshop.

"Girl, Weaver Zheng is already waiting for us in the house, let's go in quickly! It was the first time for him to boil potato water, and he had no experience, so he said that he would have to ask the girl for advice. ”

Song Jin nodded, followed Zeng Xiuniang's footsteps, and entered the house.

Entering the courtyard of the embroidery workshop, Song Jin found that the first time she came, the embroidery workshop had changed.

There were several large bamboo baskets in the courtyard, and the bamboo baskets were already filled with freshly dug potatoes, and the weaver next to them stopped his work and came out with a basin of water, ready to peel the potatoes.

"Girl, a few days ago, I heard you say that you need to boil potatoes and water to dye and finish fragrant cloud yarn, and when I left the house, I sent someone to the market to sell it. But after all, this potato is from Lingnan, and Jingshi rarely grows it, so he bought these baskets, I don't know if it is enough?"

Although Zeng Xiuniang said words, she didn't stop for a moment, and continued to lead Song Jin on the way.

Just a few baskets?

I'm afraid it's more than that, right?

This Zeng Xiuniang bought all the potatoes in the market, right?

When she entered the door, she saw that there were eight or nine large bamboo baskets behind the door, which were filled with potatoes, which were enough to open a Xiangyun yarn dyeing and finishing factory.

The British government has only ordered a few summer clothes, how much fragrant cloud yarn is used?

When I entered the house, I saw an old man dressed in a weaver's clothes, holding a paring knife in his hand, peeling the potatoes in the bamboo basket.

The old man's hair and beard were already gray, but he could still do such a delicate job as peeling, which showed that his eyes were good.

"I don't know if this old man can boil potato water."

Since Zeng Xiuniang said that he knows how to dye and finish, it means that he has worked as a dyeer before, or has seen others dye and finish, and has some experience.

For such a person, Song Jin didn't want to talk too much nonsense with him, so he still asked straightforwardly.

The old man looked up and saw Zeng Xiuniang leading a little girl over, and wanted to stand up and salute her, but Song Jin stopped him, and exchanged glances with Zeng Xiuniang before he opened his mouth to reply.

"The villain doesn't hide from the girl, the villain grew up in Guangdong, in someone else's Xiangyun yarn dyeing and finishing factory, he has done miscellaneous work for others, and he has seen others dye Xiangyun yarn with his own eyes, and he will also dye and finish Xiangyun yarn."

"It's just that this boiling potato water is boiled by experienced masters, although the villain is a handful of years, he has no experience in boiling potato water."

"Once the potato water boils down the dyeing and finishing progress of the fragrant cloud yarn, it will also take a big step back."

He is right, boiling potato water is the first step in dyeing and finishing fragrant cloud yarn, and it is also a crucial step.

After all, it is necessary to continue dyeing and finishing in the later stage, and dyeing and finishing repeatedly until the fragrant cloud yarn is immersed in water and is not easy to fade.

Song Jin himself has never boiled potato water by himself, so it is still difficult to grasp the proportion of boiling potato water.

But since she chose to dye and finish the fragrant cloud yarn by herself, she had to give it a go and give it to the people under her hand to try, after all, give it a go, and the bicycle will become a motorcycle!

"Since you once said that you had been in the Xiangyun yarn dyeing and finishing factory in Lingnan for a few years, you must have heard about the dyeing and finishing process of Xiangyun yarn, since I asked the manager to find you, I trust you."

"Give it a try boldly, maybe our potato water will be boiled successfully."

Only when the potato water is successfully boiled, the other processes of dyeing and finishing fragrant cloud yarn can be carried out.

Now that Song Yun has invited her upbringing grandmother back to the house, she can't leave the house easily, so these things still have to be handed over to those people under her hands, and ask them to try it themselves.

Presumably, in order to keep her position as a steward, Zeng Xiuniang will also do her best to supervise these people to dye and finish the fragrant cloud yarn.

The matter of boiling the potato water is solved, and now it is time to solve the matter of the venue. After all, sunbathing and mud need to be carried out in the pasture.

"Zeng Xiuniang, this potato water, you are now boiling it yourself in the embroidery workshop. If it succeeds, it can be used to dye and finish the fragrant cloud yarn, so I will send someone to inform me. I will proceed to the next step and ask my wife for the pastures on the outskirts of Beijing. ”
