Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 112 Transforming the Silk Reeling Cart
This silk reeling is actually the process of extracting the silk from the cocoons.Since humans discovered silkworm cocoons as a textile material, hard-working people have used their brains and thought of many ways to reel silk.

The most primitive method of reeling silk is to soak the cocoons in a hot soup basin.Then use your hands to find out the silk head and spin it, wrap it on the silk basket, or spread the silk on the table and other things, and separate it layer by layer with mung beans.

Of course, the efficiency of this method of reeling silk is too slow, and one person can't pull out much silk in a day.Gradually, some people figured out a way, instead of winding the wire basket bit by bit, they used a cross or other silk wheels similar to spinning wheels, also known as daguan wheels.Pull the thread with one hand, and shake the Oguan car with the other hand, so that the drawn silk thread is directly wound on the Oguan car.

This method greatly improves the efficiency of silk reeling.But there is also a disadvantage, that is, once the wire is broken and needs to be reconnected, both hands must stop to reconnect the wire.In this way, time will be wasted.

Later, people improved the silk reeling cart again, replacing the hand crank with pedals.In this way, you can free your hands and continue the thread at any time.Compared with before, the speed of silk reeling has been increased.

Even so, a skilled female silk reeler can only reel about 30 taels of silk after working hard for a whole day, and if it is the kind of silk used to make turbans and other things, she can only reel 20 taels of silk.This speed is tantamount to a drop in the bucket for Zhifang.If you want to use silk for Shangzhifang, I am afraid that you need to hire hundreds of people to reel silk, which is obviously unrealistic.

So when Qiaoyun inquired about the silk reeling tools of this era, he made some improvements to the silk reeling machine.

Qiaoyun modified two kinds of silk reeling carts, one of which is a modification of ordinary pedal silk reeling carts.The improved silk reeling car can wind three or four strands of silk on the mark car at the same time. In doing so, the efficiency has been increased several times.

The other one uses animal power to pull the cart, and through the conversion of the gears, it drives the rotation of the Daguan cart.In this way, the female silk reeler does not need to sit down, but can stand and walk around, and can take care of more silk threads while her body is not restrained.A skilled female worker can take care of about seven or eight to ten silk threads.

This kind of car designed by Qiaoyun can be connected together with a mechanism, and a mule can pull the wheel, which can drive seven or eight or even a dozen or so cars.In this case, only a few female workers can catch up with the speed of dozens of people reeling silk.

For Qiaoyun's design, shopkeeper Han is simply in admiration.He is also a proficient person in the dyeing and weaving business, but he has never seen this kind of silk reeling car. Shopkeeper Han is already full of expectations, and he is waiting for the weaving workshop to start work.

"It just so happens that this batch of silkworm cocoons is going to be shipped to the warehouse at the weaving workshop. Why don't you go and see with me, Miss? If something is wrong, the craftsmen are still there, and there is still time for them to make corrections quickly." Shopkeeper Han was in a hurry. Temper, seeing Qiaoyun coming now, I couldn't help but take Qiaoyun to the weaving workshop immediately.

"Uncle Han, I'm afraid I have to wait a little longer. I'll go and tell my father. Today my father and elder brother brought the silkworm cocoons from home to sell, and they are still queuing outside." Of course Qiao Yun wanted to go to the weaving workshop. Check it out, but she has to tell Qi Tiankui.

Shopkeeper Han slapped his hands when he heard that the Qi family came to the town to sell cocoons, "Qiaoyun, look at what you do. Your family comes to the town to sell cocoons, so you still need to be like others." Are you queuing up? Just bring it here." Shopkeeper Han said this, naturally for Qiao Yun's sake.

Qiaoyun understood very well, but shook her head, "Uncle Han, it's not like you don't know what's going on in our family. If Uncle Han made an exception today and let them not have to line up, next time they don't know what to do next time." What about the moths. No need, just let them line up, and save others from talking about it."

Qiao Yun is the most clear about the characters of the Qi family, and their strong point is to push their noses and face their faces.If you give them preferential treatment this time, they don't know how to get along.Qiaoyun didn't want to get used to the bad things of the Qi family, so she just ignored Qi Tiankui just now.

Shopkeeper Han immediately understood what Qiaoyun meant, and he could only smile wryly and shake his head, "Forget it, let's listen to you. Well, this is the same with the Qi family. If they are willing to treat you well, they don't know how to enjoy it with you." How rich and noble. It's a pity, it's a pity that they don't have that kindness, so naturally they won't have that kind of blessing."

"Well, tell your father and brother not to leave at noon. I will treat them to dinner, and I will discuss with them about your work in the weaving workshop. You are still the adopted daughter of the Qi family, and this matter must go through the Qi family. .” Shopkeeper Han sighed.

"Okay, then I'll go and tell them. Uncle Han, please wait for me for a while, I'll be right back." Qiaoyun didn't have so much emotion, what she had done for the Qi family was enough.What happens to the Qi family in the future is all their business and has nothing to do with Qiao Yun.

While talking, Qiaoyun ran out, came to the front of Buzhuang, and found Qi Tiankui and his son who were queuing.At this moment, quite a few people have already sold their silk cocoons and left, and Qi Tiankui and his son still have about twenty people ahead of them.

"Father, Shopkeeper Han said, don't leave after the silkworm cocoons are sold. Shopkeeper Han wants to invite you and elder brother to dinner, and I have some things to discuss with you." Qiaoyun came to Qi Tiankui and said loudly.It’s impossible not to speak loudly, there are too many people here, so noisy, you can’t hear it even if you whisper it.

Sure enough, Qiao Yun spoke loudly, and Qi Tiankui understood. He pulled out a big smile and nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I understand." Shopkeeper Han is going to invite his father and son to dinner, which is a great honor.Qi Tiankui admired shopkeeper Han very much, and now he just felt happy in his heart.

"Father, I want to accompany shopkeeper Han to the weaving workshop. After selling the silkworm cocoons, you will be waiting at the cloth factory. We will be back in a while." Seeing that Qi Tiankui was happy, Qiaoyun said that he was going to the weaving workshop. matter.

Qi Tiankui is in a good mood at the moment, no matter what Qiaoyun is going to do, he will not stop him, let alone go to the weaving workshop with shopkeeper Han. "Go, go, shopkeeper Han, you have to do your best. Girl, as long as you and shopkeeper Han become friends, our family will be able to follow suit in the future."

Qi Xiumei caused so many things and finally left with Zhou's family quietly. Qi Tiankui now pays more and more attention to Qiaoyun, and gradually seems to obey her words.

Although there is Qi Xiuyan in the family, but that girl is even more useless, she can't compare with Qiaoyun at all.Qi Tiankui could also see that the future wealth of the Qi family would depend on Qiaoyun.So now he is also thinking thoroughly, that is, he must treat Qiao Yun better.

　Going out to fix teeth, there are many people, dizzy.There will be a change in the afternoon, and the reward will be added tomorrow afternoon.
