Wang Jinqiao is really talented in business, and he is also a resolute person.

On the second day, four dyers came with parcels.

The rectangular face of Master Zhang, led by him, has a very tall posture, and his eyes are a little picky about this small farmhouse courtyard.

Several people in the fabric industry are all people with heads and faces, and there are people holding them everywhere. There is still some dissatisfaction with this small farmhouse, working with their old fellows.

However, the Wang family came out with a good upbringing, and he didn't show it on his lips.

"Steward Sun, you can take a few masters to live in the workshop in the south."

Luo Xiaoqiao didn't care about the expressions of a few people, capable people, a little arrogant, what's wrong, she was much more like this back then.

Technical talents must be treated well.

Master Zhang and the others arched their hands at Luo Xiaoqiao: "Miss Xiaoqiao, then I'll fix it up first, and we'll see you in the afternoon."

Luo Xiaoqiao smiled and nodded.

"Lao Zhang, what do you mean by Childe? Could it be that this family has some secret recipe? ", said Master Wang with a goatee.

"I don't see it," Master Li touched his chin and interjected as he walked along the courtyard, "Maybe it's for us to help." ”

Master Wang said: "I don't think this farmhouse is simple, Lao Zhang, what do you say?" A few of us, you have the most weight to speak. ”

Master Zhang put his hands behind his back, looked at the black soil outside the courtyard, didn't know what he was thinking, and said "um" in the middle of a loud "um": "Don't worry, let's see in the afternoon." ”

The workshop is extremely comfortable, and all the food and clothing utensils are complete, so that people can't find any faults, which shows the owner's intentions.

A few people simply cleaned up, did not ask for a break, and prepared to start work in the afternoon.

Steward Sun came over to guide them: "A few masters, please come here, if you have anything to take, let the pillars be moved." ”

"No, no, we can do it ourselves", several masters still value the guys they eat very much, and they don't want to fake others.

Sun Dianfu didn't care, he was very polite and introduced the situation of the workshop while walking.

From Sun Dianfu's words, the four of them faintly sensed that they were really asked to help dye the cloth? Several people suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

For such a simple job, the apprentice can do it.

After entering a courtyard, this uncomfortable feeling is even more obvious.

There was a courtyard in Nuoda, except for a few young men fiddling around a big iron bump, and two women were waiting there.

No matter how good Master Zhang is, he can't help frowning at this time.

When Luo Xiaoqiao saw them, he greeted him and introduced them with a smile: "A few masters, this is Aunt Bao and her daughter Meihua in our workshop, and Aunt Bao will work with you in the future, please take care of one or two." ”

Aunt Bao San and Meihua were very cramped and a little twisted.

"Miss Luo, I wonder when this will start?" Master Zhang pressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked.

"Wait a minute, it'll be fine right away", Luo Xiaoqiao said, and a few young men lifted up a huge net and put it on top of the iron lump.

"A few masters, please adjust the three colors of red, yellow, and green," Luo Xiaoqiao said politely.

Master Zhang and the others didn't speak, silently took out their tools and debugged the dye. Childe explained that when he came to this house, he was not allowed to hide his smuggling, and he took out the ability to press the bottom of the box.

Over there, Bao Sanaunt and Meihua stretched the fabric on the machine with their hands and feet.

During Master Zhang's work, he inadvertently raised his head and was a little stunned: "Miss Luo, don't you want to dye cloth?" Why don't you see the dye vat? ”

Luo Xiaoqiao smiled and said: "It's dyeing cloth, but it's not all cloth dyeing, it's about dyeing."

Master Zhang was a little stunned.

The dyeing technology of this era is already very good, although it is still dyed by plants and trees, but it can also be dyed on cotton clothes.

But this is not the case, the technology used is called wax valerian, which is to use wax to paint the pattern on the hemp, silk, cotton and other fabrics, and then put it in the dye vat for dyeing, and the wax can not be dyed in color, and after the wax is removed, the pattern appears.

But the cost of doing so is very high, and it is expensive to sell, and this kind of fabric is generally preferred by the wives and ladies of wealthy families.

"Little Miss Qiao, forgive the old man, are you ready for this wax?" When Master Wang heard their conversation, he raised his head and was also a little puzzled.

"That's right, our dyeing method today may be different from the past, called flat screen printing, no wax", Luo Xiaoqiao briefly introduced.

Flat screen printing is a labor-intensive printing method.

When printing, the fabric is pasted on the long and straight table, the color paste is added to the color frame, and the color paste is scraped and pressed on the upper column of the color frame with a scraper, so that the color paste is printed on the fabric through the mesh of the screen printing pattern part.

However, in this era, the most important thing is cheap labor, and this method is very suitable for her.

The flat net and the scraper are made of rubber, and the color is also the handwriting of Aunt Bao.

The four of them listened to what she said, but they secretly shook their heads in their hearts.

This is another person who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, how can dyeing cloth be as easy as she said? These old bones, who have pondered for most of their lives, dare not be arrogant and say that they can change the way they dye cloth.

Aunt Bao San is actually more nervous, she embroiders and embroiders by herself, if the design is not suitable and ruins such a good cotton cloth, what can I do?

Luo Xiaoqiao patted her sleeve: "Third aunt, don't be nervous, with me, if it doesn't work, let's make clothes to wear inside." ”

The four masters moved quickly, and after the dye was adjusted, a few young men began to scratch the mark, and as soon as the scraper was hung, the color was on the cloth. Half a day later, the flat net was replaced, and a total of three sets of flat nets were replaced.

After the fabric was removed, Master Zhang and the four looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The cloth is covered with orchids and daisies, elegant and graceful, with occasional green leaves, just like a picture.

Master Zhang couldn't help but reach out and touch it, no matter how high the wax valerian's skills were, he couldn't do it at this level.

In addition to their color-toning things in the dye, Luo Xiaoqiao also filled in some alum fixation, which was dried and bleached later.

The process is completely different from the current technology, but the effect is close at hand, and the most important thing is that the workmanship is extremely fast, and it is a piece of cloth in half a day.

The four of them all looked at each other with sparkling eyes, and at this time, they understood that Luo Xiaoqiao asked them to guide the dyeing of cloth, which was really too elevating them.

What is this guidance? In fact, I just want them to make the dye, and everyone else does it themselves.

"It's good", Luo Xiaoqiao touched the fabric and said: "Catch Ming'er, the third aunt and Sister Meihua, just use this fabric, one person makes a dress to wear."

Meihua's eyes were shining with tears, her grandmother had never said such a thing, but she didn't expect that her first new dress was actually given by Luo Xiaoqiao.

"Xiao Qiao, how embarrassing this is, we didn't do anything", Aunt Bao San'er was nervous and wanted to pull the corners of her clothes.

Luo Xiaoqiao smiled: "Third aunt, without you, there would be no such good-looking colors, just a dress, don't shirk." And you have to wear it out, and give it to our workshop to publicize it."

Aunt Bao also thanked her with red eyes, and strengthened her desire to work hard.

The first cloth was dyed very successfully, and Aunt Bao's confidence was picked up. She is actually a very ingenious woman, who used to live in poverty, at most sewing and mending, but now, she feels that the whole person is like finding the backbone, and she is fully immersed in the pattern.

A master was left here to continue the color matching, and Luo Xiaoqiao took the others to the wool workshop.

The dyeing of wool is different from other materials, and several masters have never done it, so they can only say try it.

Luo Xiaoqiao searched for his limited knowledge, mentioned a few precautions to them, and let them try it themselves.

Today's scenes made the four of them finally recognize a fact. Their son-in-law, in addition to opening a restaurant and not making money, is really far-sighted in other aspects.
