Ji Zhaorong spread out the silk silk in his hand. Su You was surprised when he saw the thing painted on it. It's a loom! The drawing is a bit imitating Su You's style, but it doesn't have the foundation of Su You's sketch, and the subtleties are slightly inferior, and the painting skills are already quite good.

Su You watched intently, he didn't know much about the weaving technology of this world, so he couldn't see the mystery. He looked at Ji Zhaorong and thought to himself that if there was no commendable innovation, Ji Zhaorong would not come to ask him for "advice" at all. saw the "expectation" hidden in her beautiful eyes, as if she couldn't wait to see the expression of "frustration" on Su You's face.

Su You understood that she was not here to "ask for advice" but to "ask for advice".

Sure enough, Ji Zhaorong showed a smug smile on his face. As if seeing through Director Su's ignorance of the loom, she showed a hint of banter in her eyes, and said: "Before asking, Zhao Rong will first tell Director Su about the current situation of the loom, and then talk about our improvements." ”

Su You was a little helpless, and simply admitted generously: "I really don't know much about looms, and I'm about to ask Miss Ji to give me literacy!" ”

"Literacy?" Ji Zhaorong didn't ask about this unfamiliar word, she didn't want to be disrupted by Su You, so she nodded: "The early weaving method was 'hand warp finger hanging'. It is to knot the yarn on two wooden sticks in turn, and then tighten the yarn fixed by the two wooden sticks, and weave it with your hands or fingers like a mat or a net. Later, technology progressed, and finer yarns could be processed, and then the method of "hand warp finger hanging" was not only labor-intensive but also laborious, because the soft yarns were easy to entangle, causing difficulties for the weavers. So someone created a loom with three weaving movements: opening, weft insertion, and beating. When weaving, the weaver sits on the ground, ties the two ends of the warp yarn to two horizontal logs, one of which is tied to the waist of the horizontal wooden cloth shaft, and the other is stepped on by the foot, and the warp tension is controlled by the waist back, and a natural shed is formed by using the warp stick, and the weft is drawn with a silk and a machete. This is how the weaver sits on the ground, with his waist tensed, alternating and repeating......"

Seeing that Su You listened carefully. Ji Zhaorong waited for him to digest these contents before continuing: "Later, an agioloom appeared. The bias loom is composed of two parts: the base and the frame, and the front end of the frame is provided with a seat plate. The frame is a warp beam on top of a long wooden frame and a cloth spool at the bottom end. The warp beam and the cloth spool are also provided with a shaft tooth to control the amount of warp and the amount of cloth to be wound. A "vertical fork" is installed on each side of the middle of the frame, and the front end is equipped with a heald rod shaped like a "horse's head", which is looped on a central shaft. The front end of the "horse head" is tied with a heald frame, and the rear end is equipped with a warp dividing ...... that divides the warp thread into upper and lower layers. ”

"There are two pedals of different lengths under the frame. The long one is connected to the heald lever, which controls the lifting of the heald through the "horse head", and the short one is connected to the lower end of the heald. When weaving, the weaver can sit on the floor machine, step on the long pedal rod, and when the power is transmitted along the rod to the lever part of the heald horse's head, the horse's head leans forward and stilts, and the heald frame that connects the bottom warp immediately raises the bottom warp to the position of the original warp, and sends the shuttle to the weft, and the bamboo reed beats the weft. When this work is completed, the foot leaves the long treadle and steps on the short tread, so that the heald frame descends, the bottom warp loses its tension and returns to its original shape, and at the same time, the front end of the "horse's head" hangs down by its own weight, so that the face warp also returns to its original shape....... In this way of reciprocating weaving, this kind of bias loom has been used to this day. ”

She observed Su You's expression as she spoke. Seeing that Su You's face was a little sluggish, she smiled with satisfaction and explained more patiently, "But the bias loom can only weave some simple fancy." In order to weave a more elaborate pattern, it is necessary to embroider it onto the cloth by hand, which takes a lot of time and tests the skills of the embroiderer. The cost of a beautifully patterned dress is very high, and the price is naturally high. In order to achieve direct weaving of complex patterns, this multi-heald multi-loom loom was born. This is on the basis of the bias loom, the original several pieces of heald pieces are increased to dozens of pieces, and the pedal rod is also increased to the same number, through these tresses will be according to the design requirements of the pattern, a certain number of healds are installed on the loom of the foot pedal heald opening, and each piece of heald is threaded into the corresponding warp, during operation, the heald is controlled with the left toe, and the ground heald is controlled with the right toe, and each weft is woven into it, and a piece of heald is lifted. In this way, many complex brocade, lace and other patterns are weaved. ”

Ji Zhaorong pointed to the corresponding part on the machine diagram as he spoke, so as to facilitate Su You's better understanding.

Su You knew that she had been labeled as a "little white" on the loom. Xiaobai was tricked for no reason.

Su You looked intently at the dozens of long and short pedals in a row at the feet of this "multi-comprehensive and multi-tiptoe loom", and thoughtfully, it was indeed a great improvement. He struggled to search for his memory, but could not find anything to borrow from modern automated looms. I had to nod and say, "I want to learn it, can you put this picture here first?" ”

Ji Zhaorong smiled slyly and said, "Actually, we have asked the craftsman to make a "multi-comprehensive and multi-loom" according to the drawing, and you can go to the field to watch the weaving effect. There was a smug in her tone that couldn't be hidden.

As for it? Su You shook his head, isn't it normal to have something you don't understand? Su You didn't want to argue with her, so he smiled: "Then let's go and see the physical machine, after all, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth!" ”

Ji Zhaorong was stunned when he heard this, and Su You had already left the studio.

The two went downstairs. Bai Shan and a few craftsmen were making some utensils, and when they saw Su You coming down, he dropped what he was doing and walked over.

Su You didn't explain to him, only let him follow him. The three of them went out and turned a corner and came to another workshop. In the great hall there was a wooden loom, and the weaver was already in place, inspecting the loom and preparing for the weaving.

There were several people loading yarn onto the loom, and Sun Xiuyun was among them. Ji Zhaorong called 'Miss', and then held her hand with an intimate expression. It seems that the relationship between the two women is very good. Su You and Bai Shan stepped forward to clasp their fists and salute.

Sun Xiuyun nodded and said, "You're here!" With that, she joined the busy weavers, and left them aside, without calling them for help.

Su You Baishan glanced at each other, and stood silently on the side, concentrating on watching a few people tinkering with the loom.

For about an hour, the weaving was maneuvering. The controller looks like a skilled female weaver, and although her movements are a little slow, it is not difficult for her, and the loom runs in an orderly manner under her control. I saw that she kept changing her feet and pedaling, and she operated nearly fifty tiptoes with her hands and feet.

Soon, a piece of symmetrical cloth was revealed.

Sun Xiuyun and Ji Zhaorong, who had long been separated on both sides of the weaving outlet, saw a piece of lace cloth spit out, and their expressions immediately jumped. The two reached out and stroked the cloth as if admiring a beloved object. They glanced at Su You from time to time, and when they saw his thoughtful expression, their smiles became even brighter.

White Mountain is unknown. He had never seen Sun Xiuyun smile so brightly and beautifully. I know it must be an amazing design, and I'm happy for her. But why are they smiling so proudly?

Su You watched the loom run for a moment, and his expression was sluggish. In the eyes of Sun Xiuyun and Ji Zhaorong, Director Su was stunned.

Su You was indeed touched, and he thought of a book called "Heavenly Creation" that he had read, which mentioned a kind of bundle jacquard machine. Some vague impressions emerged. Among them, the key is the flower floor and the flower book, the flower book is the bridge that transitions the pattern from the drawing to the fabric, the braided flower book is the most difficult to master in jacquard technology, the size of the pattern and the length of each part must be accurately calculated, as well as the warp and weft density and intersection within the range of each pattern, and the thread heald will be used to lift a single warp line to make the same lifting movement of the thread into a bundle, that is, the heald beam.

But there is really not much impression of how to operate it, and he is not studying this major, so how can he pay attention to these.

He suddenly remembered that in the Dream of Red Mansions, there is a play 'Qingwen Yong Mending Peacock Qiu', which tells the story of weaving peacock feathers into clothes. It seems that I have also seen it in the TV series of Dream of Red Mansions, that is, when the Hualou machine is weaving, two weavers need to cooperate with the operation. The flower puller sitting on the flower floor machine is responsible for lifting the warp, and the weaver weaves according to the flower elastic in the following sections, lifting the warp and wearing the tail, and the two can cooperate to complete the weaving. As his memory awoke, he slowly saw the advantages and disadvantages of the loom in front of him.

Su You subconsciously wanted to go back and record his thoughts, but he forgot to snore with the three of them and left. Bai Shan looked at Sun Xiuyun, hurriedly clenched his fists and followed Su You.

Ji Zhaorong smiled: "Miss! Director Su couldn't stand the blow and actually went away regardless of it, he was really a cautious man. ”

Sun Xiuyun smiled. She was also proud of being able to make Su You deflated just now. Xuan felt inexplicable, Su You worked for the commercial building, he was capable, and it was a good thing for the commercial building. Why do you want to see him deflated?

She smiled and said, "You can see his ideas, he doesn't look like the kind of person who can be easily hit." Maybe it was inspired by our looms. Besides, he was mentioned to you by your mother......" Speaking of this, she paused, and seemed reluctant to mention this family affair that her mother had arranged for her.

Ji Zhaorong said angrily: "Miss! This is just the wishful thinking of Madame. My dad too, without saying anything, arranged for me to work in the workshop. As for me, I didn't come to see this Su You, I just took the opportunity to do something. Our daughter's family also has the opportunity to show their talents. ”

Sun Xiuyun cleaned up her mood and said with a smile: "I know that you are a beautiful and talented woman." It took us almost a year to break through this loom until recently. Now we need more weavers to learn how to use this loom, and then we can make this machine in large quantities, and we can weave more beautiful cloth. At that time, it will be sold at a lower price than the market price, so that more people can wear beautiful clothes. ”

Su You returned to the studio, picked up the loom that Ji Zhaorong still put on the table, and thought about it. Bai Shan walked in, and before he sat down, he shouted: "This loom designed by Miss Sun and Miss Ji is very remarkable, but I think they want to use this loom to hit you, Brother Su You has been in the limelight too much recently!" ”

Seeing that Su You was motionless, he said clearly: "You want to find the defects of this loom and then fight back." I support you, looking at their smug looks, I am upset for Brother Su You. ”

Su You turned a blind eye to Bai Shan's pretended "indignation". The bundle jacquard machine that I know about is indeed only vague and indistinct, and I am at a loss.
