Chapter 34: A staggering number
The three of them went out and looked at each other, Xu Mengshan holding the tray in his hand.
The red lacquered wood tray is bright in color, and the color of the raw silk on it is like snow, Xu Mengshan slowly pulled the corners of his mouth, smiling unexpectedly.
The two water heads, now they have already swept away the anger just now, and the pleasant faces are going to be misunderstood, this is a relative of Xu Mengshan's family.
"Brother Xu, you see that it is strange to be tired, our two brothers will help you pass the scales first, and you will be tired and panicked." Reach out and take it.
Xu Mengshan shook his hand, so frightened that the two heads almost knelt down to save the tray.
He himself couldn't help laughing, "Two big brothers, I'm just hungry and a little tired, it's okay, it's okay, let's register it on the scales first, and then go and send some food to my master, the master must be hungry, but he has been busy all morning." ”
Raise your eyebrows.
I feel good.
Let you look down on us.
Master, Master, you are so powerful.
I'm not hungry anymore.
The two heads of water flattered and said: "Where do you need Brother Xu to go, after you pass the scales, the two of us will go to handle it, how can we treat Master Lu and Brother Xu badly, that is, can Brother Xu say a few words in front of Master Lu, that kid in my family is just at the age of age, if Master Lu sees it, he will be sent to Master Lu to be an apprentice." ”
The other hurriedly said, "That girl in my family is fifteen years old, and she can already withstand the call of labor, and it is okay to give it to Master Lu as a rough girl." ”
Xu Mengshan suddenly felt that he had never been stuttered so well in his life, and he couldn't help but feel that the future was bright.
"I don't count! I'll have to wait for my master to come out, but I can tell you a few words, whether it can be done or not depends on their creation. ”
As soon as the two water heads heard this, they had already smiled, everyone is very strict in accepting disciples, and disciples may not be able to do it! But apprentices are also counted, at least they can learn a little bit, then they will also send it.
The four Cao family disciples on the opposite side were already dumbfounded.
The four of them were like cross-eyed, staring at the red lacquered wooden tray, rubbing their eyes vigorously, dreaming, right?
How can it be!
The silk reeling masters in Fengshan County add up, one is counted as one, there is absolutely no one who can reel two hundred catties of dried silkworm cocoons a day, even Wang Ruoyu, the eldest lady of the most powerful Wang family in Fengshan County, is said to be talented, and the silk reeling can be reeled with both hands, which is only one hundred and fifty catties, and now Lu Jian'an has reeled a hundred catties of dried silkworm cocoons in just half a day, and it is still early in this day.
The remaining 100 catties of dried silkworm cocoons, even if Lu Jian'an is playing with reeling, should finish reeling before tomorrow morning.
This Lu Jian'an is going against the sky.
The head of the water has carefully rested the raw silk on the tray on the scale.
Watching the scales slowly get farther and farther away, the hearts of several people are hanging higher and higher.
Both of them will be blind.
His grandmother's.
That's twelve pounds of raw silk.
The tears came down.
In this life, I have been fortunate enough to see such a high yield of raw silk, and the two of them can be regarded as complete.
The four disciples of the Cao family over there were already dumbfounded.
100 catties of dried silkworm cocoons reeled out 12 catties of raw silk?!!!
God, come and kill us with thunder.
Don't talk about Fengshan County! It's the whole Chen country, who can find a silk reeling that can use a hundred catties of dried silkworm cocoons to reel out twelve catties of raw silk, who do they kneel down and kowtow to.
But people clearly took out so much.
What kind of sacredness is this Lu Jian'an?
At this time, Cao Shijie was already hungry inside, and looked outside! Just now, I heard the juniors and disciples outside shouting to deliver food, and the smell of the food has already wafted in, why don't you come in, could it be that these people don't know how to be polite and eat first?
coughed unhappily, "Third junior brother, fourth junior brother, you bring the food in, I'm hungry." ”
No movement!
The fire in Cao Shijie's heart rose little by little.
One by one, it is difficult to become deaf!
He coughed vigorously and raised his voice by three points.
"I'm hungry!"
The four people outside finally woke up like a dream, hurriedly took the food and opened the door and went in.
Cao Shijie looked at the junior brother who was not giving up, and he was about to put the tray of food into his arms, and finally got angry.
"What for?"
This loud shout finally made the junior brother who served the dish wake up, his hand shook, and he almost threw the plate away, but fortunately, his eyes were quick and he was steady.
"Senior brother,...... That Lu Jian'an ......"
The words behind him couldn't be spoken, and he saw at a glance that on the tray next to his senior brother, there were only poor four catties of raw silk, and some of them couldn't open their mouths.
When these words came out, the senior brother who might not be able to hit had no intention of competing in the back, opened his mouth, and swallowed back.
"What's wrong with Lu Jian'an? Could it be that he hasn't reeled a pound of silk yet? ”
Cao Shijie is very confident, and it is easy for him to win in raw silk.
"I don't know!"
The junior brother replied insincerely.
Cao Shijie looked at his junior brother's unrelenting look, and said with a cold face: "You go out first, and come in and clean up later." ”
The junior brother hurriedly walked out.
Four people, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly the food in front of you becomes tasteless.
If they want to win, it will be difficult for them to go to the sky.
Could it be that Lu Jian'an is the reincarnation of the silkworm god Niangniang?
How can someone have a hundred catties of silk and twelve catties!
How did they know that Lu Jian'an reeled more than twelve catties of silk, which she had already collected more than half into her own space, mainly because the current silk reeling process is too backward, and later generations can actually reach the proportion of one hundred catties of dry silkworm cocoon reeling silk fifty percent, and the process has been greatly improved, but the current Chen Guo's silk industry technology is still in the stage before the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Jian'an hasn't been running around in vain these days, just to know the approximate level, he can be talented, but he can't be too far behind others! Then there are some demons, and it is easy to invite death.
Speaking of silk reeling, the tool is not smooth, the water temperature is still poor, originally according to the later process, it has long been possible to make cold basin reeling silk, so that the reeling of silk is tougher, more silky, but now the conditions are indeed not available, even if they are at home, they are waiting for the tool to improve.
She also doesn't want her apprentices to use this old craft one by one, which is actually very detrimental to the development of silk.
So far, she has no other way, to inquire about the silk of the other two countries, but according to rumors, the silk industry of Zhao and Wu is more developed than that of Chen, and the silk color and texture are more refined, and it is also a place where major silk merchants compete to visit.
Compared with the price, the price of silk in Zhao and Wu is one percent higher than that of Chen Guo, or even to three percent, because their silk is different from Chen Guo.
But even so! Chen Guo is also a wealthy oil-flowing country among other countries.
Silk is as good as gold.
