Chapter 262 Dyeing Cloth
Manager Su sent Jia Yueer away, came back to greet Su Zhi and his colleagues, asked the clerk to count them, handed the silver money to Su Zhi, and gave Su Zhi 80 taels of silver, which was the account paid for Jia Yueer.
Su Zhi handed over all the silver money to Shen Zi'an, and then decided to talk to the shopkeeper Su about business.
"Sister Su, I have one more thing to ask for your help this time. I know that your family not only runs this embroidery shop, but also runs a dyeing workshop, right?
This is what Su Zhi had already inquired about. The shopkeeper Su's family not only has Xiuzhuang, but also Liangfang, but they did not open a cloth village in this town, just because their cloth village was opened first, and they did not want to rob people's business. They have cloth villages in the county. Since Su Zhi wants to do the business of dyeing cloth, she naturally needs to understand how the cloth is dyed first. There must be dye before she can test whether her spiritual spring can dye bright cloth.
As soon as the shopkeeper Su heard Su Zhi ask this, he didn't understand why she asked this, but he nodded and said, "Yes, I have a dyeing workshop at home. I don't know what do you need my help, sister? Does my sister want to dye the cloth? That's no problem. You just need to bring the cloth."
Su Zhi said with a smile, "My sister is really smart. I just want to dye the cloth."
Su Zhi said that she asked Shen Zi'an to bring the cloth. She also knew that she was not a particularly close person. Suddenly asking to go to other people's dyeing workshop may make people suspicious. She came up with such a way to take a piece of cloth and let people dye it, and then she could ask to have a look by the way, which would be much more natural.
"My sister not only knits well, but also the cloth is so good. This cloth is really even."
When the shopkeeper Su looked at the cloth, his eyes lit up. He thought it was really good to weave, but it was much better than what was sold in the cloth shop. If it could be dyed, it would definitely sell well. She began to change her mind again, but she soon gave up the idea, thinking that the weaving was too tired. The wife of the Shen family has less editors. How can you suffer from weaving?
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely dye it for you. What color do you want? I'll dye it for you."
Su Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I want the green one, the light green one." It's like the color of the leaves in spring.
Manager Su smiled as soon as he heard it and said, "The girl is really good at describing, but if you say so, I remember the tender green that has just sprouted. That color is really beautiful, but I'm afraid it's not easy to dye. I let them try their best.
Su Zhi nodded and said, "Sister Su, when it comes to this dyeing cloth, I don't know if I can see what's going on with this dyeing cloth. I'm really curious. Don't worry. I'm sure I don't have any other thoughts. I'm just curious.
Manager Su smiled and said, "Look at what you said. If you want to see it, then read it."
Although Manager Su Zhi felt that Su Zhi wanted to see the dyeing workshop was a little strange. Her woman's hobbies were special, but she really didn't think much about it. This dyeing workshop is not a secret. As long as there is money to invite a craftsman, it can be opened. What matters is the formula of the dye. They have a formula for the beam material in their home. Although it can't be said to be the best, it's not bad, at least the business is not bad. If you are really afraid that others can rob the business by reading it once, then all the craftsmen in the dyeing workshop will have to guard against it?
"How about this? You will come to me tomorrow. At that time, the cloth can also be dyed. I'll take you to see it. Today is the market. I really can't leave. And you also have something in your car. The dyeing workshop is in the city. It's tiring to let the cow pull so many things, isn't it?
Su Zhi nodded.
Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi left Baise Xiuzhuang. I went to the market again. When I was shopping, I met a lot of villagers. When I went to the pork stall, I bought five catties of pork and five catties of ribs, and also bought two pig's feet and some pigs into the water. Compared with meat, children seem to like to eat those into the water, and even Dad Lan likes to eat the fried fat sausage with wine.
After buying these things, the couple went home.
After returning home and putting everything away, Su Zhi went to pick vegetables.
Now a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden have grown, a piece of green. Because Su Zhi added a small amount of spiritual spring to the water, it grows very well. It doesn't look like this wasteland at all. You know, this wasteland didn't like to grow anything before, otherwise how can the land here be called? What about the lower place? Now Su Zhi grows vegetables so well that others think that she can farm. More people say that she is blessed and even so good at farming. Others say that the water in the pond is good, but others say no, because when the pond does not appear, the vegetable field grows well, so most people still say that Su Zhi can farm.
Su Zhi picked beans and hollow cabbage, picked a handful of leeks, and then went back.
Yueyue picked leeks with Aunt Lan and picked the vegetables one by one, but the adults didn't care about them, and only took out one for them to pick.
Su Zhi has always believed that only by letting the children work from an early age will they not be raised.
Su Zhi began to cook, and Aunt Lan also helped. Although she was old, she still admired Su Zhi's cooking skills, so she only put water on the side to the manual shovel, which was Su Zhi's business.
The dishes will be ready in a while. Stir-fried leeks with eggs, stewed pork pieces with beans, stir-fried cabbage, a large pot of stewed spareribs, and stir-fried chili sausages. That's for two men who drink.
Because of happiness, Su Zhi also made a very rich lunch for the White Wolf family, which made them all very happy. Xiao Hei finally took all the bones away.
After dinner, adults and children take a walk, drink tea, and start to take a nap half an hour later. When I woke up, I began to be busy again.
This kind of leisurely and fulfilling day is Su Zhi's favorite day.
Su Zhi watched the three children writing seriously there, and looked at Shen Zi'an, who was weaving baskets beside him. He thought it would go on like this. It would be better to have another doll of the two of them in the future.
The next day, Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi entered the town again and asked the shopkeeper Su to take them into the county.
The dyeing workshop of Manager Su's house is very large, and you can feel the heat as soon as you enter.
Manager Su first showed Su Zhi the cloth she wanted to dye. As soon as she got the cloth, she asked someone to send the cloth, and now it has come out.
Su Zhi looked at the cloth and felt that it was a little bleaker than she thought. She thought that if this color had been put in her previous life, it would not be like this. It seemed that the level of dyeing cloth really needed to be improved.
The shopkeeper Su took the couple to see the dyeing cloth. Of course, he also saw a lot of cloth in the process. She has been looking at Su Zhi's expression. I found that Su Zhi looked at it very seriously, but there was no smile on her face. I thought to myself, was this Mrs. Shen really just to see it? What on earth is she for?
Su Zhi knew how the cloth was dyed. She had to go through several procedures and nodded. It was not too difficult to think. However, she doesn't plan to go back to try. Since she wants to cooperate with Manager Su, she is not afraid to say something earlier.
"Sister Su, the cloth here is very good."
Su Zhi said to the shopkeeper Su. First of all, she praised, and she didn't tell a lie. These days, when she went to Buzhuang, whether in the town or in the county, the best cloth is almost the same as the cloth here. And she has also seen Liang Fu's clothes. The cloth is naturally better than the cloth here, but the color is not as good as the cloth she had seen in her previous life. Liang Fu also gave them a piece of cloth. It is said that it was bought from the capital, and it is the best cloth bought in the largest cloth village. Many young ladies and wives in the capital wear that cloth and praise the cloth for its freshness, but in Su Zhi's eyes, the cloth is not so bright.
It was only that time that Su Zhi knew the level of dyeing cloth in the world, which made her more confident in making money from dyeing cloth.
But Su Zhi hasn't tried it after all. She wants to get some dyes and cloth to try it herself. But that seems to be a little unrealistic, and when she thinks that she also has a spiritual spring in her hand, she just wants to add the spiritual spring to the dye to see if the dyed cloth is better. It's better to directly touch the dye here by the shopkeeper Su, but she doesn't want to hide it from the shopkeeper Su.
Whether it is successful or not, there is no loss for Su Zhi.
"It's just that you haven't thought about making the cloth brighter?"
Su Zhi said to the shopkeeper Su that she had already made a statement. At that time, no matter whether the spiritual spring can make the cloth brighter or not. She won't have any problems.
Manager Su just heard Su Zhi praise the cloth here. With a smile on his face, he said that the cloth here is really good. Because they have a secret recipe in hand, because of this secret recipe, their cloth sells very well. Even if it is not one of the best, it can be ranked in the top few. At least there is no second family competing with them for this way of wealth.
But after hearing Su Zhi's words, the smile on Su's face stiffened. He thought Su Zhi was so smart. How could he think of saying that? Since she knows that she opens a dyeing workshop, she should also know that their dyeing workshop is the best and most famous here, right? Has Su Zhi ever seen a better cloth, so she doesn't like the cloth here?
"Girl, have you ever seen a better cloth, that's why you asked? Then the cloth you see must be excellent, and it must be dyed by the dyeing workshop. You may not know that this dyeing cloth also requires craftsmanship, and some dyes also have secret recipes. The cloth ingredients you have seen must be very good. If we want to get it, it's hard to get to the sky.
The shopkeeper Su said that her family started this business. Of course, she has also made efforts in this regard over the years. The more dyed the cloth, the better. You can also have a place to take it to the capital, but it is difficult to get better. She is also very envious of those who have recipes.
Su Zhi heard that the shopkeeper Su was misunderstood, but when she said this, she was more aware of the matter of dyeing cloth, and was more interested in the dyeing business of dyeing cloth.
"Sister Su, I'm not saying that the cloth here is not as good as others. I'm just saying, haven't you thought about making these cloths brighter? But after listening to what you said, I realized that it didn't seem so easy. This really makes me feel a little uneasy. To tell my sister, I met a person who told me a recipe, saying that it was useful for dyeing cloth. I have never tried it, and I don't know whether it's true or not.
"What? Is there such a thing?!"
Manager Su was surprised when she heard this. Su Zhi was not an ordinary peasant woman. She had known for a long time. Now that she was going to come up with a recipe, she didn't feel that it was impossible. Instead, her heart was full of expectations.
Su Zhi took out a small bottle from the basket, shook it, and said, "I made some according to the recipe. Whether the man lied to me or not, just try it. I know, sister, you are a dyeing shop, so I want to come here to have a try. I don't know if it's convenient. Just a jar of cloth. Whether it is dyed well or bad, the cloth is mine. Just dye it according to the color I took out and see if there is any difference at that time. I don't know if my sister agrees or disagrees?
"All right, that's it!"
Manager Su looked at the small bottle in Su Zhi's hand and answered it without hesitation. She wanted to see if she could dye a better cloth. If it really works, it would be a big deal!
The shopkeeper Su arranged it and watched Su Zhi pour the things in the small bottle into the dyeing vat.
In the small bottle, it's just the spiritual spring that Su Zhi added water. She doesn't dare to use the direct spiritual spring. Who knows what the consequences will be? She would rather have a flat result than be too scary.
After pouring these things, the shopkeeper Su asked people to start dyeing the cloth. At this time, it was already noon, so she invited Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an to dinner.
After dinner, the keeper who dyed the cloth came. With an excited face, he told the shopkeeper Su that the cloth was very bright. When Manager Su heard this, his eyes were brighter than that of Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an. He immediately stood up and walked out and took a few steps. Then he remembered Shen Zi'an and his wife and quickly turned to invite them together.
The group went to see the cloth again. At this time, the cloth had been dyed. Although it was not dry, it could be seen that the cloth was indeed bright. Even if there was no previous cloth in comparison, it could be seen that it was different from the previous cloth.
The people in the dyeing workshop are now looking at the high hanging cloth, talking about it, and they all say that the cloth is good.
The shopkeeper Su looked at the cloth, and his eyes were full of surprises. The cloth was really like what Su Zhi described, just like the sprouting leaves in spring. When people saw it, they wanted to reach out to touch it. They felt as if they were breathing much better and felt bright in front of them.
Su Zhi looked at the cloth and was also excited. She thought that this spiritual spring was really useful, and the amount of water she added this time was also very good, and the cloth was not too bright. Finally, it is as bright as the cloth in the previous life. In this era, it is unique!
Su Zhi could already see a lot of silver floating like snowflakes, and soon became a silver mountain.
Shen Zi'an looked at the cloth and was also very surprised, but it was only for a while. He thought that his wife would build a kang, cook new dishes, make flowers, make prescriptions, and even grow a vegetable better than others. It seems normal for her to have such a prescription. RQ
