My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Xu Yinyin sent a letter to Pingyang County before, and when she received a reply, the weaving workshop has been completed, the loom has also been manufactured, a lot of female workers have been recruited, and it has already been put into production.

The matter of planting mulberry and raising silkworms was also done well. A batch of cocoons had been harvested a month ago. The letter came to ask Xu Yinyin how to deal with these cocoons.

This letter was delivered around her birthday, and after she read it, she immediately wrote back and asked Deng Qifu to transport the silkworm cocoons to Beijing.

Counting the days, it is reckoned that he will be able to arrive in Beijing in just two days.

Sure enough, two days later, the concierge reported the arrival of a convoy from Pingyang County.

Xu Yinyin immediately set off, leading the motorcade to the well-decorated shop on Zhuque Street.

The manpower in the shop has already been filled, including one shopkeeper, two assistants, and dozens of delicate and delicate female workers.

There are several large houses in the backyard, and two of them have been opened up as workshops.

After unloading the goods and moving them into the warehouse in the backyard, Xu Yinyin recruited the steward who transported the goods to Beijing to inquire carefully about the situation in Pingyang County, and then asked them to take them to an inn near the city gate to rest for two days. , they will rush back to Pingyang County and continue to deliver the next batch of goods back.

This time, there were two batches of cocoons.

Without further ado, Xu Yinyin immediately started teaching.

Yes, she plans to use silkworm cocoons to make silk fans, and this shop is in the business of silk fans.

She has learned many times that the fans here are made of silk, silk, silk, and paper, such as folding fans and round fans.

But there is no silk fan made of silk.

Xu Yinyin felt itchy when she thought of the ancient silk fan making video she had seen in later generations. She likes to do this kind of manual work that is done in meditation.

Let Pingyang County plant mulberry and raise silkworms for this reason.

In addition to silk fans, there are many other things that silkworm cocoons can do.
But right now there aren't many cocoons, so I'll offer the silk fan first, and then send it later, so she can make other plans.

After watching the video, there is probably a process, but in order to be careful, Xu Yinyin exchanged the silk fan's production recipe for a good study.

Dozens of female workers are carefully selected by the palace, and their wealth and life are in the hands of the empress, so they are absolutely reliable.

When Xu Yinyin came out with the prescription, she didn't even think about covering it up, so she immediately led the female workers in charge of this part to work. Of course, she demonstrated first, and asked the female workers to form a circle and watch carefully.

The first step is to peel off the messy silk on the outside of the silkworm cocoon. Boil water in a pot. After the water boils, put the silkworm cocoon into the boil for a long time. Hold the silkworm cocoon with chopsticks and soak it completely in the water. Cook for half a minute before kind.

In the second step, use a wooden stick as thick as a chopstick to wrap around the cocoon and then pick it up.

The third step is to take out the prepared fan bone and pick the silk onto the fan bone.

The fourth step is to rotate the fan bone, wrap the silk around, turn the fan handle with the right hand, pinch the silk with the left hand, this process is slow, Xu Yinyin deliberately put ten silkworm cocoons into the pot, more silk, so that the winding will be faster.

During the entanglement, Xu Yinyin did not forget to tell the female workers some important points to pay attention to, pay attention to constantly adjust the position, pay attention to the uniformity, and then point out a few people to try it out.

Turning and turning, the fan gradually takes shape, and finally, a wrapped silk fan is made.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yinyin directly pointed out the five female workers who did a good job just now, and asked them to start working independently.

They are all ingenious and quick to use. When the five silk fans were rolled out, Xu Yinyin took them together, and then let the other five female workers do the same, and asked the previous five female workers to help them do it once. After getting started, let them do it independently.

She took the six fans that had just been wound and went to another workshop next door.

There are still ten female workers waiting in this workshop, five of them are excellent embroidery workers, and they are all carefully selected from the needlework bureau in the palace.

Xu Yinyin directly gave each of them a fan and asked them to embroider on it.

No matter what they embroider, they are all accustomed to embroidery and can do a good job independently.

What kind of pattern is used for the fan is also well-documented, and it is all like flowers, pictures of beauties, landscapes, etc.

I match it according to the shape of the fan, and the shape of the fan can be flower-shaped, round, square,

With the remaining handful, Xu Yinyin took it and walked to the other five handy female workers. Besides embroidery, they can also do some DIY.

The needed things were already prepared on the workbench, Xu Yinyin told them to look after them, and then she started to do it herself.

For this fan, she plans to make a pearl fan. At this time, the glue is made of propolis, gum, fish glue, etc., which is better than the 520 adhesion effect of later generations.

It takes a lot of effort to glue the pearls one by one, and there is no rush, what is needed is patience, just like a winding silk fan.

A pearl fan was perfectly made, and the five female workers watching from the side couldn't help but want to start it.

After waiting for a while, five freshly baked silk fans were brought over. Xu Yinyin inspected them all and found that they were all done very well. She nodded and distributed them to five female workers to start making.

But facing the materials of a tool table, there was only one of the five female workers, who started to work after pondering for a while, and the other four were a little hesitant, not knowing where to start.

Xu Yinyin watched from the side, and saw that the female worker who did it quickly selected two kinds of materials, presumably it was already a success, and looking at the other four, sometimes good hands-on ability does not mean rich imagination.

After thinking about it, she asked Xi Xin to get the paper, took out the charcoal pencil she carried with her, and started to draw.

After drawing a picture, I handed it to a female worker, "Do it like this, will it work?"

Seeing the flowery appearance, the female worker suddenly cleared her forehead, nodded and said: "It can be done!" After taking it, she began to look for materials to match.

Xu Yinyin drew three more pictures for the other three female workers, and they all started to make them.So I went to the side and found a table to sit down and continue to draw.

After drawing a dozen or so pictures in a row, her mind was a little stuck, and she couldn't think of anything better for a while, so she didn't delay, so she exchanged it with Tongzi for a complete book of fan DIY.

She was sitting alone, some distance away from the carpenters, Asarum was sent by her to visit the workshop next door, and there was no one around, so she took out the DIY fan and looked through it.

I picked out materials that can be made or replaced here, and then sketched them accordingly.

Half an hour passed, and a large stack of drawings was drawn and placed in the cabinet, so that the female workers could take them as they needed, or they could spread their inspiration based on these.

But no matter what, this pile of patterns is enough to make many fans.

Busy until evening, the lights in the house were lit. Xu Yinyin looked at the second silk fan made by the still serious female workers, nodded, praised them unabashedly, and then asked them to clean up. Today I'm off work now, tomorrow morning, let's continue.

On the other hand, the embroidered fans were not yet finished, and the DIY ones were just completed, so they were shown to Xu Yinyin for inspection. After Xu Yinyin saw them, she still praised and encouraged them, and told them to pack up and get off work.

After going out, I ordered the shopkeeper to order food and came back. Everyone had a good meal before resting.
