Chapter 12: Competition
"Lu Gongzi, I heard that you have collected a lot of waste cocoons, I am the master of Caojia Silk Workshop, with my years of experience, it is impossible to reel out even a pound of raw silk from a hundred catties of waste cocoons, you still have to do it yourself, you must not be greedy for a small gain, and suffer a big loss." Master Cao looks high, there is no hatred between him and Lu Jian'an, but Lu Jian'an is regarded as a model of fools by the people in the town, this Master Cao naturally wants to step on Lu Jian'an to show his superiority.
Behind him was a group of apprentices, all of whom were eleven or twelve years old men and women, all of them with curious faces and energetic staring at Lu Jian'an in front of him.
"You are all disciples who are about to become apprentices of the Cao family's silk workshop, this Lu Gongzi has to act a little anxious for quick success, you must not do such a difficult thing for the sake of greedy small profits. This is what it looks like, people are valuable to have self-knowledge, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Remember, remember. ”
"He's that Lu fool! It's not stupid to look at. ”
"How not to be stupid? used more than one or two silver to collect hundreds of catties of waste cocoons, so who is not stupid? ”
"My father also told me, the surname Lu is unknown, the orphans and widows in the family, and they still have to do such a thing, this is a loser, if I dare to learn from him, I will break my legs!"
"It looks good, why is this unsweet."
"It's not that I don't have a heart, I look at it too much, thinking about making money, or who wants to collect the waste cocoon, but it's too brainless, the waste cocoon is even a skilled silk reeling master can't do it, it can only be a waste cocoon in the waves, and how much silk is reeled in the end depends on the will of God and luck."
Hearing Master Cao's introduction, the apprentices behind him talked a lot, and even passers-by stopped to watch the excitement.
"Finished?"
Lu Jian'an is really not angry, what he has is the hard work of craftsmen who have gone through many years in later generations, plus the essence of modern technology, will have the technology to improve the waste cocoon, he dares to do this, it is nothing more than stepping on the hard work of many people, in fact, if she didn't do this research, these people would not be wrong at all.
Waste cocoons are not something that anyone can do if they want to use waste, how could the ancients not do this kind of thing, there are many smart people, if it weren't for the high cost and low return, who would let go of this kind of fat in the mouth.
Although she was not very angry, she was still very unhappy with Master Cao's deliberate behavior of lowering others and elevating herself, and waved her hand casually: "You can get out of the way after the introduction, don't delay me going home here!" ”
Master Cao saw that this guy didn't have the slightest sense of being ugly, and his attitude was so arrogant that he let himself make way, Master Cao's face was not very good-looking, and he shook his hand, revealing the majesty that only Master Reeling had in reeling: "Don't you have the slightest shame for your own grandstanding?" ”
"Joke! Why should I be ashamed? You can't reel more silk out of the cocoon yourself, it doesn't mean that others can't either, you also said, you are the master of silk reeling! But how do you know I'm not? Ladies and gentlemen, when I first arrived in Xia Lu, it is indeed unknown, but Lu's silk reeling skills are also involved, since I dare to collect waste cocoons, I naturally have that ability. ”
Master Cao and everyone behind him were stunned, could it be that Lu Jian'an was still a silk reeling master?
Master Cao immediately denied that Master Reeling couldn't deceive people with his hands, just look at Lu Jian'an's white and tender hands were not people who had done silk reeling work, and they dared to deceive people.
It's just shameless.
Thinking that the people in this place are not familiar with him, they can play with others!
"Is Lu Gongzi also a silk reeling master?" Sneer mixed with sneer.
These words are definitely to squeeze Lu Jian'an.
Lu Jian'an came from modern times, and has a strong modern soul, where will he be frightened, isn't it the master of silk reeling, he is also a master of silk, in her research, all textile printing and dyeing fabrics are her research projects, and these silk reeling is simply the most basic.
"I only know a little bit about silk reeling, and this waste cocoon reeling is exactly what I learned from my master."
Lu Jian'an's eyelids rolled and said modest words, but his expression was really not modest.
The people around him burst out laughing.
Many people secretly poked their hearts and said, can this son of the Lu family have a face, if you want to say that you are a talented person who studies the imperial examination, maybe everyone still thinks it is possible, you say that your ten fingers do not touch the spring water of the sun and spring water The appearance is a silk reeling master, fooling a fool.
"Yo! It turns out that Master Lu! It's disrespectful. Master Cao's eyes showed disdain, this time he didn't even want to hide his expression, who let Lu Jian'an not give himself face just now, this can only blame Lu Jian'an for deserving it.
"Don't dare! Don't dare, can you let the way open. I still have something. "She's really something.
There is nothing more important than making money.
I've long wanted to eat a meal of braised pork, and I promised the little girl a delicious snack.
She, a man who is a top household, doesn't make money, what do the two women in the family eat?
"Haha, Master Lu, don't be in a hurry to go, since you said that you are also a master of silk reeling, you are also a master of silk reeling, since Master Lu is good at silk reeling, we might as well have a discussion, and let the silk households in Fengshan County open their eyes." Master Cao laughed and stopped Lu Jian'an.
At this time, of course, I wanted to watch Lu Jian'an make a fool of himself.
"How do you want to fight?"
Lu Jian'an's face was a little ugly, he was ambitious, ambitious to make money, but he hadn't started yet, and now he used this body to reel, to put it bluntly, Lu Jian'an's body at this time was really a little weak.
Don't look at the silk reeling looks simple, but the hand strength and eyesight must be in place, the silk reeling day after a long time of hard work, in order to reel a good hand of silk, constantly not connected, the silk is smooth and delicate, the color is pure, that is to practice.
Although I have exquisite craftsmanship in my chest, I haven't really started it yet, and I'm afraid that the technique is rusty, and the result will not be so good.
After all, silk reeling is not just a mouth.
"That's not simple, there are silk households here, and every workshop has silkworm cocoons. Needless to say, the venue for silk reeling, you and I will reel some silk from each of the ten catties of silkworm cocoons, so that you can judge the superiority, how about it? ”
"This ...... All right! I can give it a try. Lu Jian'an gritted his teeth.
The big deal is to lose, what else can you do, it's just a shame.
I can also practice my craft in advance, hoping not to be too rusty.
As soon as everyone heard that they were going to try silk reeling, they were already talking about it.
"I heard that Master Cao is going to try silk reeling with Lu Jian'an."
"Yes, Master Cao's craftsmanship is recognized in Fengshan County, and it is the third-ranked master of Cao's Silk Workshop, Lu Jian'an, a little-known outsider, actually wants to compare silk reeling with Master Cao."
"It's not waiting to be slapped in the face."
Immediately, the number of onlookers more than doubled.
