Chapter 41: Su Embroidery (5)

Xiangye was looking at it vigorously, and Lan Eucalyptus turned her head and asked, "Auntie, this white boat is so good-looking, how nice would it be if there was such a show every year?" ”

There was another burst of cheers in the crowd as the game raged, and Xiangye had to lean close to the ears of the blue eucalyptus, "It's supposed to be once a year." Every year today, the incense market in Yuezhou Village will be held as scheduled. In the early morning, silkworm farmers will rush to the shores of Lanhu Lake to participate in the 'Silkworm Rolling' temple fair, and those who rush to the temple will first go to the temple to burn incense. During the Xiang Market, the farmers of Sixiang took a boat in groups, rocked the shirtless boat, and rushed to the Xiang Market, and did not forget to bring homemade bamboo utensils, silkworm tools and agricultural and sideline products to sell in the Xiang Market, and then visit the temple fair. ”

Lan Eucalyptus listened with fascination, "Then let's go to the incense market too, anyway, the white boat race is coming to an end." ”

Xiangye couldn't bear the blue eucalyptus's begging, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

Simplicity is the background color of Yuezhou Bay, the water pavilion corridor, the stone bridge blue brick, the ancient tower temple, the academy dyeing workshop...... The ginkgo biloba in the Tang Dynasty is still there, and the Zhaoming study room is vague. The two towns, four gates, eight squares, and thousands of thousands of fireworks have left a deep accumulation and countless stories in Yuezhou Bay for thousands of years.

There are foreign film stalls, sugar stalls, circuses, puppet shows and other casinos in the Xiang market, and there are many tourists...... It's a rural carnival. From the City God's Temple to the South Square of the Temple, tea sheds, food stalls, candy stalls, drama stalls, grocery stalls, and stalls are connected. All kinds of opera troupes and jugglers from other places also arrived together, and in each selected venue, there were circus, puppet show, civilized play, and drum music. boxing, tricks, and foreign films, have appeared one after another.

Between the water pavilion corridors, the river and the street are parallel to each other, one side of the river is a parallel street, and the other side is a waterside house. After walking a distance, I saw the double street sandwiching the river, both sides of the river are small streets, and the outer side of the street is connected with a piece of dwellings. The two banks are adjacent to the water, and the back window of the house across the river faces each other. The people in this area live on the water pavilion, draw water to wash their clothes, and are always accompanied by water.

Further on, it is the end of the incense market. The blue eucalyptus was still a little unfinished, and Xiangye had already walked into the old house located on the corner of the street.

The old house is a little old, and the whole house is a little tilted, and it is inclined in many directions, such as 30-45 degrees, and at the same time twisted.

Blue eucalyptus playfully said, "Is this the Leaning Tower of Pisa in China?" ”

The joke drew laughter from everyone in the room. A deep old voice sounded, "Xiangye, why do you have time to come to the cocoon station today?" The person who spoke was a local "corrector" in his 80s, who was using a few simple tools, such as iron hooks and ropes, to adjust the wooden beams of the old house at various angles to correct the whole house.

Xiangye replied with a smile, "I just happened to be passing by, come in and have a look." ”

The cocoon station was busy. Only then did the blue eucalyptus know that the cocoon is only the front end of the silk industry chain, from the silkworm cocoon to the silk to the textile printing and dyeing link, and I don't know how many processes it has to go through. On the assembly line of modern enterprises, chemical fiber fabrics will be continuously produced from the assembly line, and the low cost and high efficiency are unimaginable.

An older sister standing next to her complained, "There are fewer and fewer people making the traditional craft of silk cotton bags." Raising silkworms is greedy early and late, and there is little money, but now there are many factories, and it is easy for young people in the village to find jobs, and there are few silkworms. In the past, every family raised silkworms, but now only a few of us old people who have feelings for silkworms will continue to raise silkworms regardless of the amount of money. ”

Xiangye couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity. The main component of silk is pure natural animal protein fiber, 87% of which is the same as human skin, which has the effect of windproof, dehumidifying, calming, nourishing and balancing human skin, and is the best material for intimate clothing. ”
