Chapter 196: The Loom

Brocade is famous for its bright colors, Shu brocade has a history of more than 2,000 years, it is called China's four famous brocades with Guangxi's Zhuang brocade, Nanjing's cloud brocade, Suzhou's Song brocade.

Aunt Qing's reluctant rose-red Shu brocade pattern is gorgeous, and it is woven into a group of flowers and birds with various brightly colored silk threads, and the color is mainly rose-red.

Such a tapestry is made into clothes to be worn in winter...... Zhao Hanzhang tilted his head and thought about it, thinking it was quite good-looking.

Especially in the snow, it looks good as a pleated skirt.

Zhao Hanzhang just flashed this sentence in his mind, and Aunt Qing had already removed her hand from the rose-red Shu brocade, put it on a plain brocade next to her, and said, "This one is good." ”

This is also what she has taken a fancy to early on.

This plain brocade is made of moon white, with a large flower pattern woven on it, and small flowers and auspicious clouds are intertwined in the middle, and the silk thread outlines the color difference with three colors of light yellow.

The Wang family didn't pay attention to it, but when they saw this Su Jin, they couldn't help but go to see their daughter.

She also likes this horse, and the color of this horse matches her daughter's color.

She kept going to see Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't want to make new clothes, seeing that no one was robbing Aunt Qing, they chose the color they wanted, Zhao Hanzhang asked the clerk, "How much do these Shu brocade and silk cost?" ”

The price of the document is serious, and the price of each horse is different, and he said: "This is the price that the county government buys in." ”

He was not as thick-skinned as Chang Ning and Zhao Hanzhang, and he was still a little weak after speaking, so he explained more, "The reason for such a high price is that Shudi has a long way to get here, and the road is not very smooth, and we have very few merchants in Xiping." ”

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him, and the clerk also realized that he had said too much, and immediately shut up.

Fortunately, the aunts and aunts do not have much experience in bargaining, and what he said is also the truth, now there are very few merchants in Xiping, even if there are, most of them sell grain and ordinary cloth, all of them are sent by hearing that there are a large number of purchases here, and there is not a single expensive silk brocade.

How dare the small merchants transport such valuable things at this time?

If you are robbed on the road, you will be ruined.

So now good fabrics are very expensive in Xiping.

Although the price of the paperwork newspaper was indeed too expensive, it was still within their affordability, so everyone bought it without blinking.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly, asked the clerk to collect the money, and saw that the time was not early, so he simply got up, "I'll send my aunt and aunts back." ”

Aunt Qing and the others laughed and excused themselves: "You are busy, you don't have to send each other." ”

Wang also said: "We have to go shopping again." ”

"It's okay," Zhao Hanzhang asked the little maid to take them out to play, and gave Wang a money bag, "A-Niang will buy what she likes, and then buy some things for me to honor my aunt and aunts, Hanzhang won't accompany me much." ”

Wang accepted the money in person and was very happy, "Okay, okay, you go and get busy." ”

When Zhao Hanzhang walked away, Aunt Qing dared to let go of her words, "Brother and sister, why don't you see your good son-in-law?" ”

Wang said quietly: "People like them are busy." ”

Fu Tinghan was indeed busy, and as soon as Zhao Hanzhang left, he took a pen and pondered in the middle of a pile of disassembled wood.

When Zhao Hanzhang came back, his picture was almost drawn.

"You're back just in time, take a look at the picture." Fu Tinghan showed her the finished picture.

"I'll get the carpenter, and we'll try it first."

"Okay."

The two of them were obsessed with making looms, and the Wang family came back with everyone to see after shopping, hesitated for a while and didn't bother them again, and took Aunt Qing and they went back to the clan first.

Xiping County got the eight carts of cotton wool from Zhuchuan, and the winter clothes and quilts filled with cotton wool increased.

Winter clothes and quilts were distributed one after another, first to orphans and the elderly in Yushantang, and then to seriously damaged families in the county town, first to children and women, and then to children and women among the displaced people......

When it was the turn of the men, most of them turned into winter clothes and quilts filled with reeds and catkins, and some of them had not yet been obtained.

But no one was dissatisfied, everyone was waiting quietly, and happily accepted the gift from the county government.

The county government is still making people step up sewing, so the displaced people know it in their hearts, and they all have it.

Ji Yuan sent people to transport five truckloads of winter clothes and quilts, all of which were left over from Shang Cai's side.

The steward who came to deliver the things bowed and said, "Mr. Ji said that the manor can survive the winter this year. ”

There were also a lot of refugees there, but because the rebels didn't get there, they kept building houses, and by now, they had built enough brick houses to house everyone.

Although it takes about a dozen people to squeeze into a room, it ...... It's still quite warm.

Zhao Hanzhang was envious, thinking that Shangcai Manor was also her territory, envy turned into relief.

When the last group of people also received winter clothes and quilts, the temperature began to drop sharply, the north wind was blowing, and the improved loom that Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan worked together was also ready.

The two of them looked at the loom that had enlarged a lot, and finally Zhao Hanzhang pinched his fingers and said, "I'll try it." ”

Fu Tinghan also looked at it expectantly.

Listening to the lotus to hang the thread for her and pull it up, Zhao Hanzhang stepped on the loom and pulled it a few times, and the brush weaved a finger-long cloth, Zhao Hanzhang's eyes were bright, and before he could be happy, there was a bang, and the drum in the middle of the loom fell.

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan stiffened with smiles, and hurriedly squatted down, half of their bodies went under the loom to look.

Fu Tinghan had a headache and said, "This position is unstable." ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "It seems that it has to be changed." ”

However, looking at the finger-long cloth, Zhao Hanzhang was still very happy, "I just pulled it a few times to form a cloth, obviously we succeeded." ”

Fu Tinghan, "It's a pity that the time is too short, don't you know what are the shortcomings?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and said, "It's not light enough, it takes a lot of effort." ”

She said: "I have a lot of strength, so I can pull it down smoothly, but if I change to another woman, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to pull." ”

Fu Tinghan thought thoughtfully, "So I have to find a way to reduce the force......

Zhao Hanzhang thought about it, and when he finished writing and painting on the paper, he said out of his state: "Today's Xiaoxue, my aunt asked us to go back to Wubao for dinner, and we will take Erlang back in a while." ”

This loom improvement is not something that can be done in a day or two, Fu Tinghan nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So in the afternoon, Zhao Hanzhang called Zhao Erlang, and the group rode back to Wubao.

It's just that it's too cold, and the wind hurts on their faces, so the three of them don't ride fast, so they run forward slowly.

There were almost no people on the street, and when it was cold, everyone stayed at home and did not come out, and the shops were only half open.
