Otherworldly Chapter 34 Yao Weiqi
The two Jiao Didi ladies are here to make soy sauce, and of course Su You will not object. said: "The mold workshop is all heavy and dirty work, I'm afraid it's not suitable for the two young ladies." However, there is an overlap in the work of the tool workshop and the mold workshop, and it is very normal for the personnel of the two workshops to be seconded to each other, so the two ladies are welcome to go to the mold workshop at any time to guide the work. Miss Sun immediately smiled, and the matter was settled.
There are only nine people in the mold workshop for the time being, Su You, Ji Changfeng, Yang Zifeng, Zhang Cunyi, and two apprentices of Ji Changfeng and Yang Zifeng respectively, and then Young Master Sun arranged for two henchmen to come in, all of whom are reliable people. Bai Shan has a strong interest in learning new things, and Su You pulls him in again.
Most of the nine members are still working in other positions, and as for the two young ladies, Su You directly ignored them.
In order to save time on changing molds, Su You decided to build two more punch presses, so that three sets of molds could be started at the same time. In fact, die stamping is much faster than the creation of knives, as long as the number of blades is sufficient, stamping and assembly are not a problem at all.
In the eyes of everyone who witnessed the mold technology for the first time, the products pressed out of these sets of molds were not picky, but in Su You's eyes, they were far from reaching the point of precision. The details are still a little rough, resulting in more burrs in the pressed accessories, which need to be repaired. Su You asked them to polish and maintain the mold after using it for a period of time.
Perhaps knowing that Su You didn't know anything about looms, Sun Xiuyun told Ji Zhaorong not to scratch Su You again, especially not to deliberately ridicule him. So neither lady ever came to him again.
When Su You has time, he will go to the workshop next door to watch the loom work. Dozens of weavers are already learning to use that loom. The whole building is full of women, most of them are young girls, and every time Su You comes to visit, it will arouse a large number of curious eyes, which makes Su You embarrassed to come.
Every time he finished reading it, Su You would draw something on the multi-dimensional loom diagram he copied to record what he thought could be improved. After a few times, his loom diagram had completely changed. He still feels a little worse. So I decided to go to the street to find a few cloth clothing stores, preferably to see other styles of looms, and look for inspiration.
It has been a month since Zhuo Quanyu arranged for Qian Hongyan to assassinate him, and no one has come to trouble him. I wonder if the hidden red smoke will be punished for the assassination failure, is it still in the Golden City? He wasn't afraid of the Zhuo family, but he didn't want to be followed. He considered whether to ask Ji Changfeng or Yang Zifeng to accompany him. But thinking that he was improving every day and was already approaching the Myojin high level, he decided to go out alone. In broad daylight, just be careful. As long as you don't encounter a high-level master like Qian Hongyan, you can't escape if you don't pay attention to the general mental period.
Do what you think. Su You told the little white wolf to stay in the mansion, and also ordered it not to patronize and play, but to cultivate hard, the wind blade compressed the wind blade, the wind blade was fired continuously, and the wind blade was turned. I don't know if Xiaobai understands it. He changed into an ordinary black robe and quietly left the house.
He looked for shops on the main street, and soon saw two or three, where clothing and fabrics were still a necessity of life, and these shops were relatively common.
Su You walked into a large shop with two floors. The first floor is a studio, with 180 square meters, divided into several areas according to different materials, stuffed with rolls of cloth of different colors, and it feels like coming to the world of colors.
There was a wooden loom on the inner wall, and a female worker was weaving. Su You pretended to look at it casually and walked to the loom. He recognized it as a popular bias loom. There are only two poles under the feet of the tether, one long and one short, and a female weaver is skillfully switching the treadles, throwing the shuttle and weft with both hands. There was also a female embroiderer next to her, hand-embroidering some kind of floral picture on a piece of cloth.
Su You stopped to take a closer look, and a shopkeeper greeted him with a smile: "What fabric does this guest officer want to see?" The shop has all kinds of cotton, linen, satin, and cloud brocade, all kinds of flowers, bright colors ....... ”
The guy was attentive and talked endlessly. Su You patiently listened to him report the fabric, embarrassed to live up to his enthusiasm, and said, "Don't pay attention to me, I'll take a look first." ”
He pretended to look at the fabric, but in fact, he was interested in the patterns on the fabric. A piece of woven cloth has been poked out of the loom, and there is only a simple checkered pattern on it, and it is not even a pattern. It seems that the cloth woven by this kind of bias loom is like this, and the patterns and decorations are all embroidered and processed later. Therefore, a beautifully patterned dress will be sold so expensive. Discourages ordinary people.
Of course, there are also calicos on the market. Su You inquired, and the printed patterns were blurry, easy to fall, and not durable, and even ordinary consumers didn't like them. This made Su You interested in the printing and dyeing industry, but his energy was limited, and he didn't plan to do this for the time being.
Su You watched it for a while, he memorized the operation of this loom, and then Shi Shiran left the cloth shop. He saw another, bigger cloth house, and the same tangle loom. He casually glanced around the fabric, and the patterns on it were still the usual stripes and checks.
Keep looking for the next one. Turning to the corner near the South City Gate, I saw a shop selling finished clothes. Su You walked in and saw a lot of clothing, all of which were men's clothing. And also distinguish the grade, he saw the silk satin, cloud brocade, silk fabric clothes, he asked the price of a cotton blended fabric embroidered with a landscape map, actually cost twenty-five taels of silver. The silk and satin fabrics are higher, and the cloud brocade silk is not sky-high. Su You used to earn only twenty taels a month, which was not enough to buy a cotton dress. After being promoted to the head of the instrument manufacturing department, it was forty taels, and he still didn't have the courage to ask the price of Yunjin material.
In addition to clothing, this shop also sells shoes, most of which are mille-feuille soles, but also have leather soles, and the uppers are all fabric, some high and some low, divided into long and short tubes. The upper has an embroidered pattern.
Su You glanced down at the cloth shoes under his feet, fortunately they were pure black and did not embroider any patterns, this was the most ordinary shoe. He wouldn't wear embroidered shoes, and animal prints weren't good, they were too ugly.
Cloth shoes are comfortable to wear and also lightweight. But the soles are too soft, and you can step on sharp objects. The soles are waterproof, so you won't get wet right away when you tread water, but it's definitely enough to choke when you go out on a rainy day. Maybe he was ordinary from top to bottom, and no buddy came up to ask.
Su You was so happy that no one scratched, so he could watch it slowly. He found that such a large store didn't have a pair of all-leather shoes, so he wanted to go back and make himself a pair of high-top lace-up leather boots.
Just as he was thinking, a graceful woman came down from the upper floor. Su You's eyes are bright, this is a very beautiful beauty, her eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is better than snow, and her aqua blue dress is embroidered with delicate white and yellow lotus flowers, fresh and elegant. At a glance, you can see that it is worth a lot of money, and it is the top Yunjin fabric that Su You didn't even dare to ask about the price.
The woman was followed by a good-looking maid, who was holding a set of dresses, and it turned out that the second floor was selling women's clothes. The beautiful woman also saw Su You at a glance, and with Su You's height, it was difficult not to be seen.
The first impression of a beautiful woman is his peculiar short hair. Although Su You's hair grew a little longer, it was still not long enough to tie the braids. The front four or six are combed to both sides, and the back is slightly longer with a short ponytail tied at the back of the head, and the Ekin Cheng-style hairstyle is lively.
Su You is not the kind of handsome white-faced little type, his skin is still a little wheat-colored, but his eyes are bright, the bridge of his nose is straight, and he is the kind of handsome who is very attractive. Especially his self-confidence and calmness with his own aura is even more impressive. He comes from the modern world, has no concept of hierarchy and inferiority, and calmly looks at the beautiful woman who walks down in a swaying posture.
Or maybe it's Su You's weird hairstyle, or maybe it's his unique temperament, the woman actually took the initiative to come to Su You. Wei Yu smiled first: "Isn't this son from a foreign country?" The little girl who was following her was already laughing out loud.
Su You was indeed surprised by the woman's attitude. Shouldn't ancient women be shy and reserved, how can they be so bold as to speak directly to strange men?
The little maid knew that she was rude, so she quickly covered her mouth. Su You doesn't care, who called his hair short. You can't tie your hair on the top of your head like someone else, it's inevitable.
He smiled at the maid before he said to the young lady: "This young lady, I am a Xinhao person, why do you say that I am a foreigner?" Is it like this little girl's laughter, thinking that my hairstyle is too weird, is it that foreigners have short hair like me? ”
The little maid was embarrassed and was about to apologize, but when she heard Su You laugh at herself easily, she knew that he didn't care, so she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and her impression of Su You was much better.
The woman's voice was delicate, "I have indeed seen a person with short hair like you, not from us Orientals, but from a different race from the West, with a high nose and deep eyes, yellow hair and blue eyes. ”
Su You was shocked, there are also white Westerners in this world? He asked, "Where have you seen a Westerner?" Do you know which country it's from? ”
The woman said strangely, "Is his name a Westerner?" I saw one in the imperial capital last year...... Not...... Westerners, no one understands what he says, I heard that he wandered from the far west to our country. ”
Su You coughed dryly, "I've only heard people call them Westerners, and I haven't seen them." Is that Westerner still in the imperial capital? ”
The woman didn't doubt it, nodded and said, "I don't know if this person is still in the imperial capital." It's already last year, and that Westerner should have encountered difficulties and looked down, as if he was later taken away by people from the Four Seas Commercial Building. ”
This is a clue, Su You thought about it and asked, "I heard that this world is bigger than we imagined. There are not only different races, different cultures, different faiths, but also many different countries. How much does the young lady know about these? By the way, my name is Su You, and I didn't ask Miss Fang's name? ”
"The world is indeed very large, and beyond our land is a vast ocean, and beyond the ocean there are other lands, and there are countless countries, inhabited by different races. In our extreme west, there are those Westerners, and the north of Tianchuan is a frozen area, and there are only some ethnic minorities. Further to the far north, there are white-skinned people. There are many island nations in the east and south of Yunze Country, but the people of these island countries look similar to us. Su You, are you from this city or a businessman passing by? She spared no effort to answer the knowledge of world geography for him, but she did not tell Su You her name.
Su You hugged his fists and said: "Miss is really well-informed, thank you for solving your doubts." I'm a guy at Wanjian Merchant House and I'm working on a shoe, so I'm looking for some different shoes on the street to reference. ”
Of course, Su You wouldn't casually talk about the loom, and it just so happened that he had plans to design a leather boot, so he casually told the woman.
"Are you a buddy from the Sun family's commercial building?" The woman's eyes widened, as if she didn't quite believe it.
Su You was a little inexplicable, what's wrong with the guy in the Ten Thousand Blades Commercial Building? He was about to find an excuse to leave, but the woman did leave first, and the maid followed her out of the shop. Outside the door, several stout men leaned over and protected her in the middle, like her bodyguards.
The woman paused again, turned back to Su You and said, "My name is Yao Weiqi!" Maybe we'll see each other again. ”
