Chapter 171: Printing Machine
Ruan Yunsi thought about it carefully, but it wasn't just like Yun Niang said, she couldn't help but laugh, nodded and said: "I seem to be really greedy, but that's right, contented people are always happy is the mentality of ordinary people, and people like me who are not content are always happy, and they are also determined to forge ahead, otherwise how can there be a happy life now?" ”
Yun Niang nodded and said: "Happiness is true, I was tired and tired from the previous year, and I could earn twenty or thirty taels of silver, and I was already smiling from ear to ear." (Chinese.) Now that you have only been in Xiaowang Village for a few years, you now have more than 10,000 silver on hand, right? Don't say anything else, just say that this brocade, from the New Year to the present, there are two or three thousand silver in the account. ”
Ruan Yunsi smiled: "It's true that there are accounts, but do you think these are only in and out?" Raw silk doesn't cost money? Dye doesn't cost money? Or do these women workers not want money? In the future, the girl will be shown, Biqiu will marry, Brother Nan will marry, the dowry and dowry will all be from me, and it can't be shabby, how much do you want for this? ”
As soon as she mentioned this, Yun Niang's face couldn't help but smile like a flower, she knew that Ruan Yunsi would not treat her sister-in-law and uncle badly, but she pretended to be annoyed, and pushed Ruan Yunsi and said, "You are so stingy that you even want to count this with me?" No matter how much you spend, a few hundred taels of silver is enough, why don't you have a net worth of 30,000 or 50,000 silver by then? At this time, I am embarrassed to call myself poor. ”
"How can a few hundred taels of silver be enough? When the time comes, I will have a lot of money, and of course I can't treat them badly. Ruan Yunsi also smiled, and suddenly saw Xianglan coming over, and smiled from afar: "I heard that the girl is coming, why don't you go to our side to have a look?" The prime minister is still waiting to show you. As a result, I waited for a long time and saw no one, so I had to send me over to personally invite me. ”
Ruan Yunsi smiled: "I'm about to go, isn't this stumbling up by talking to Yun Niang?" After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Yun Niang: "Before, Su Gongzi and Wang Escort came to hunt, and specially asked me what prey I wanted?" I couldn't refuse, so I had to tell them that I wanted a few pheasants and rabbits, and there was nothing about you here. Why don't you go home and wait for them? ”
Yun Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course I can go back, I'm afraid that the person the little grandfather really wants to see is not me, and I will inevitably be disappointed at that time." Yes, people come all the way to visit, but you can tell me, do you stay at noon? When the time comes, you will save me from making my own decisions, and you will be annoyed with me. ”
Yun Niang was unintentional, but Ruan Yunsi sighed in her heart when she heard it, thinking that Su Mingxi actually knew her identity, but she still chose to forgive herself generously. Unwilling to take revenge, she couldn't help but sigh with gratitude and sigh in her heart. Grateful for each other's tolerance, sighing that he is from modern times, the idea of monogamy is deep-rooted, and the two are destined to be inseparable.
Therefore, I was stunned for a while. It wasn't until Yun Niang pushed her that she came back to her senses, and smiled helplessly: "When the time comes, you see what they mean, if they want to stay for dinner, you can stay." If you don't want to stay, you let them go, so why bother asking me? ”
Yun Niang seemed to be a little bitter when she saw her smile. He swallowed back all the words he was going to joke, went out of the factory by himself, and happened to meet a few women from the same village who had just finished washing clothes from the Liuhua River, so they went back to the village together.
Here Ruan Yunsi came to the machine room with Xianglan, as the name suggests, this is a place dedicated to manufacturing looms, which is naturally the territory of the Li family and his son.
At this time, more than 20 men were busy in front of their own work, Ruan Yunsi looked at the wood, copper and iron and some parts that had been polished in the city, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, and secretly said that my weaving and dyeing factory even includes the workshop for manufacturing looms, this dragon is really thorough, even my modern factory, has not been perfected to this point? Alas! Who made too few high-end talents to make looms in ancient times, it is easy to meet such a family, how to do it if you don't grasp it well?
Just thinking about it, Li Huaifeng had already seen her coming, but unlike usual, he didn't jump over impatiently and report his research progress to Ruan Yunsi, but stood at a machine with his head held high and his hands behind his back, looking like a big rooster suddenly laid a golden egg, not to mention how proud he was. [.360118 point]
Ruan Yunsi was stunned at first, and then heard Lao Li Tou snort heavily, and scolded: "What do you look like?" Miss Ruan also has a share in front of you? Don't be honest with me. ”
Li Huaifeng straightened his waist and taught his father a lesson, and immediately collapsed, and glanced at his father sadly, this kid muttered very disrespectfully: "Jealousy, this is jealousy, hum, your old man feels that he is not as good as me, so he can only play the prestige of Lao Tzu in front of me." ”
Ruan Yunsi was still a little puzzled, but when she heard Li Huaifeng's muttering, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she hurriedly ran over and said in surprise: "Huaifeng, has your printing machine been made?" ”
That's right, only this achievement can make this guy stand here and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. In fact, think about it, it's obviously a genius, but because of that limited number of failures, he was looked down upon by his father and brother and even his younger brothers, and now he can finally raise his eyebrows, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf is simply a matter of course and must do, and as a result, he was reprimanded by his "jealous and jealous" father, and there is no place to shout injustice.
Ruan Yunsi's heart was full of sympathy for Li Huaifeng, and she rushed over to look at the half-human-tall printing machine in front of him.
In fact, the printing technology in this era is not nothing, because the printing is simple and fast, so it has been applied very early, but compared to Ruan Yunsi knows that in history, the printing technology here is still very backward, and there are often color matching and color leakage patterns, so when the weaving technology is developed, the printing technology is gradually discarded, and there are basically few printed cloth sold in those cloth villages, most of them are plain or simple woven pattern cloth, and the consequence of this situation is: the style of brocade is quite rich. But the patterns such as Gebu linen cloth are monotonous and outrageous, and even many cloth stores do not have patterned Ge cloth and linen cloth for sale, even if there is, it is also a simple and sporadic texture, those because the technology is not in place and the printing is blurred and distorted cloth, and finally eliminated in the long history.
Therefore, if there is a real sense of the printing machine, quickly produce with patterns of Gebu linen, it is conceivable that this market will not be worse than the brocade market, brocade is a tool used by the rich to show off their status, Gebu linen is the first choice of the people, the number of rich people is still small, but the people are tens of thousands.
With floral cloths, who wants to wear only those plain cloths? The profits in this, as long as you think about it, are very scary. Of course, in this era, cotton cloth has not yet appeared, Ruan Yunsi can predict that when cotton cultivation from relying on the mountains to planting in patches, and then to the emergence of cotton cloth, this is definitely a great change in agriculture, and this change, she intends to be a behind-the-scenes promoter.
and Li Huaifeng studied the various parts of the printing machine in detail, Ruan Yunsi had to admit that Li Huaifeng was indeed a genius, at present, from the perspective of the machine alone, this printing machine is very perfect, far more perfect than the sketch he drew on the ground that day, so she immediately asked Zhong Xiu to bring a white arrowroot cloth, Li Huaifeng also enthusiastically painted the various letterpress dyes, thinking of success or failure in this move, whether he is a genius or a mediocre will be seen, this kid's hands are a little trembling.
The old man of the Li family doesn't look at this "unprofessional" son every day, but he actually cares in his heart. What father doesn't want his son to get ahead? Therefore, at this time, the old man didn't care about how disdainful he was about this printing machine before, so he came up with his nephews and watched Li Huaifeng use the printing machine to print on the white arrowroot cloth.
Li Huaifeng took a deep breath, he had tried and tested all parts of this printing machine repeatedly, and he only started assembling it after there was no problem, but now this is the whole machine, and it is really hard to say whether something will go wrong, so although he feels that he should not make a mistake in his heart, he is inevitably worried, and his eyes widen to look at the patterns printed on the Ge cloth.
More than a dozen feet were printed in a row, and the simple flower patterns on the kudzu cloth were all bright in color and distinct in layers. At this time, even Lao Li Tou and the other Li family couldn't help but hold their breath, they had a hunch that this son and brother, who had always been whimsical, finally thought of it as a thing, there is no doubt that once this printing machine is successful, it will set off a big storm in the entire weaving and dyeing industry.
But in the end, when it was printed to the sixteenth or seventeenth foot, there was still a little color leakage. Li Huaifeng's head hung down all of a sudden, and Old Li Tou and the others also blew their beards at him and glared at him, only Xianglan held Xianggong's hand tightly to show comfort.
Everyone's demeanor was not seen by Ruan Yunsi, from beginning to end, her eyes never left the Ge cloth, even if she saw that the last piece of cloth was a little leaky, Li Huaifeng had stopped all movements in time, she was still staring at the cloth that had been printed with flowers, under the bright sun, her eyes were brighter than the sun.
"Cheng ...... It worked, it worked. Huaifeng, the first ...... The first time you try, you've succeeded. ”
Everyone didn't understand what Ruan Yunsi's concentration and silence represented? Satisfied? Dissatisfied? Disappointed? Lao Li Tou's heart has already been pinched, no one knows better than him, the second son has used up more than 100 taels of silver in order to study this machine, this is not a small amount, and now he has failed, how can he explain to Ruan Yunsi?
In this strange silence, Ruan Yunsi suddenly raised her head slowly and looked at Li Huaifeng excitedly. Her voice trembled a little, filled with great joy and excitement. If it weren't for the fact that her sanity still existed, if she didn't know that this was ancient times, the defense of men and women was greater than the sky, if she hadn't restrained herself with all her strength, she thought she would really run forward and hug Li Huaifeng and jump a few times, and then kiss each other the face: It was successful, this is the first time Li Huaifeng has made a printing machine, and it has succeeded, how can she suppress her joy?
