Chapter 444: Wool, Sweater
Liu Paner replied: "Wool! ”
"That thing has a fishy smell, and the carpet made of it, although it has been processed, the annual output of the carpet is limited, and we will not deal with the smell on the wool, and we may not be able to make money when we get it back." Mrs. Qi San was puzzled, she felt that it was not profitable.
Liu Pan'er didn't explain too much, "You prepare two carpenters for me, and I need them to help me make two machines." Is it convenient? Can it be kept secret? If I can't, then I'll go to the Gu family to do these things. ”
Mrs. Qi San smiled bitterly, "It's just some small things, of course you can do it well." Don't worry, I'll call the carpenter at home, and tell them what you want to do. ”
Liu Pan'er smiled, "Then thank you, I won't let you work in vain, and when the time comes, I will do business and take you with a share." ”
Seeing that Liu Pan'er was so serious, Mrs. Qi couldn't bear to discourage Liu Pan'er's enthusiasm, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to take me to make a fortune." ”
After Liu Paner prepared the drawings and the carpenters were brought, she explained some key points to the three carpenters, and then asked the carpenters to make them according to the drawings.
Li Rong also followed forward and followed, very concerned.
In private, Mrs. Qi also said that Liu Paner has not been going out recently, what is she doing at home, and asked her eldest daughter-in-law curiously, "What is Mrs. Derui doing?" ”
"Exactly, I don't know, but the third brother and sister go every day, saying that it is related to wool." Mrs. Qi smiled, she didn't care, wool smelled so bad, this Mrs. Derui didn't dislike it.
Old Madam Qi was puzzled, "This Mrs. Drey's whimsy is very whimsical, and if she wants any help, even if she provides it." It's just that I'm curious, why doesn't this Mrs. Drey's first time in the capital? Now that the autumn colors are just right, the autumn is crisp, and it is a good time to travel. ”
Mrs. Qi smiled, "I'm busy getting a machine to process wool, so naturally I won't have time to go out." Even when I took Ah Rong out, Ah Rong refused. ”
Old Madam Qi thought for a while, "Next month, Princess Chunan's birthday, when the time comes, take Ah Rong over to sit down." This clothes and jewelry should also be prepared. ”
"Yes, Mother." Mrs. Qi should be prepared, not only for Ah Rong, but also for Mrs. Derui.
Gu Shao bought all the things that Liu Paner wanted to buy and sent them to Gu's house intact.
The craftsmanship of these carpenters is very good, and there are drawings to make more delicate and labor-saving hand-carding machines and spinning machines.
The wool is combed, then washed, with the addition of odor-free materials, dried, and then spun on a spinning machine, and finally made into wool.
Such wool is not colored, and the roughness is not too supple.
Liu Paner took out a lot of softeners, stabilizers, and dyes from the space, and then stirred them together in a certain proportion, and then colored the yarns.
This time I made thirty pounds of wool, red, green, blue, purple, and light yellow. Among them, there are ten catties of red wool.
After a month of hard work, I finally made the yarn.
At this time, it has entered late autumn, and the weather is gradually getting cooler, but it has not reached the level of wearing leather jackets and cotton jackets.
Therefore, in order to keep warm, you can only wear a few more single clothes.
A thin sweater that is best worn at this time.
At this time, Mrs. Qi San was carefully touching the yarn, and she couldn't believe it, "The color of this yarn is too beautiful, right?" And it's soft, and it's warm to the touch. ”
Liu Paner nodded, holding a sweater needle at this time, knitting a sweater.
"Of course, I made a sweater and pants to wear on my body, it was warm, and it was not bulky, so it was good to wear it inside."
The maids around her also followed Liu Paner to learn how to knit sweaters and how to weave patterns?
Mrs. Qisan looked at the long sweater that Liu Paner had knitted, and reached out and touched it, "It's really soft!" Can I ask the maid embroiderer to learn how to knit a sweater with you? ”
Liu Pan'er nodded, "Of course you can!" Only when there are more people who can weave, more and more patterns can be studied, and the more people wear them, the more special wool can be sold well. ”
Mrs. Qi San thought deeply, "Such a good-looking sweater is warm, soft, and expensive, only the official eunuchs and merchants can afford to wear it, and we can make a lot of money." ”
Li Rongyan said with a smile: "Third aunt, we will make money every year in the future, because there is winter every year, and it will be cold every year." The sweater becomes old after a year, and although it can be worn, it is certainly not as comfortable as a new one. Particular people will naturally change new ones every year. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Qi's eyes lit up, "It's really good business." ”
Liu Pan'er asked the maid to send some to Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi.
Of course, the Gu family is indispensable, along with the methods and ways of knitting sweaters, and they are also sent over.
Just when Liu Paner was busy knitting sweaters, several craftsmen had already made hundreds of catties of wool.
The maids and Xiuniang of Qi Mansion are very skillful, and they not only learned the stitches of Liu Paner's church, but also created a lot of better-looking pattern stitches.
For a time, the entire Qi Mansion became more lively because of the wool thread.
Mrs. Qi touched the soft sweater she was wearing on her body and kept admiring, "Before, we thought that Mrs. Drey couldn't do it, but I didn't expect that the soft sweater was already on me after only a month!" ”
Mrs. Qi also nodded, "Yes, I used to wear several layers of clothes, and I always felt that it was breathable." But now after wearing a sweater inside, it's not bloated and warm. ”
Mrs. Qi San echoed, "I kind of understand why Your Majesty and the Queen Mother attach so much importance to Mrs. Drey. She has a very smart brain, and she can always find a way to solve whatever she wants to do, even if there is a problem. ”
"Mrs. Delvi's improved spinning and carding machines are praised even by experienced craftsmen. Such wool will inevitably become popular in the capital and even other places in the Great Zhou. Mrs. Drey's still going to do business with me, and we have already discussed that I will take 10,000 taels of shares. ”
Mrs. Qi San was worried about her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and she also wanted to get involved, first showing that she had participated in the shares.
If they want to participate in the shares again, it will seem that the Qi family is insatiable.
Sure enough, after Mrs. Qi San said this, Mrs. Qi didn't think about participating in the shares, nodded and smiled: "Then you have to learn more from Mrs. Derui and do a good job in this business." ”
Mrs. Qi was envious in her heart, "Then I wish the third brother and sister and Mrs. Derui a prosperous future." ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a good opportunity to make money, and Mrs. Qi can't participate, and she regrets it. But fortunately, there are people in the Qi family involved, and it is not in vain.
Last time, Liu Pan'er had seen His Majesty and the Empress, so she asked the servants to knit a sweater and woolen pants with new red and blue wool, and prepared to enter the palace to give them to the Empress and Her Majesty. Of course, everything used by the Queen Mother and Her Majesty must be strictly reviewed.
Liu Pan'er sent these things, and she didn't expect His Majesty and the Queen Mother to use them, but just made a sample to show her intentions.
