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

Chapter 113 The Weaving Workshop is Ready
After Qiaoyun informed Qi Tiankui, she followed shopkeeper Han to the weaving workshop.This town is not big, and the weaving workshop is at the westernmost edge of the town. The place here is spacious and a large courtyard has been built.Considering the problem of water use at that time, when choosing the site, I deliberately chose this place near the river.

The gate of the weaving workshop was open, and some handymen hired here were drying silkworm cocoons in the yard.Silkworm cocoons must be exposed to sunlight before they are stored in the warehouse if they want to be preserved well without loss of color and luster.

Tussah silkworm cocoons are relatively good, as they spend the winter as chrysalis, so they won't break out of the cocoon at this time.Like silkworm cocoons, they are generally steamed or soaked in salt water, and then dried before being stored.

Moreover, the storage of silkworm cocoons is not simply piled up in the warehouse. In that case, the luster of silkworm silk will be lost.In general, large flat wooden or bamboo baskets are used to hold silkworm cocoons, and then placed on shelves layer by layer.

The silkworm cocoons transported from the cloth village must be sorted before they are put into storage.Single cocoons that are well-shaped, round and plump are picked out, and a layer of floating silk on the outside of the cocoon is cleaned off, and then spread on a basket to dry before being put into storage.With so much work, the guys in the cloth village are naturally not enough. Fortunately, shopkeeper Han hired a group of handymen early on, so they are finally busy.

Qiao Yun saw that although the weaving workshop was busy, it was not chaotic, and the workers were working in an orderly manner, so she nodded.Shopkeeper Han's ability is absolutely nothing to say, he handles these matters very properly.

There are a total of seven or eight courtyards in the front and back of the weaving workshop. Shopkeeper Han plans to build a large weaving workshop integrating silk reeling, weaving and dyeing.Therefore, when the site was selected for construction, a large house was purposely built, with a total of ten yards in front and back.

In the front is the place for silk reeling, in the middle there are various processes such as silk adjustment and pulping, in the back is weaving, and at the end there is a dyeing workshop.At the same time, each courtyard is equipped with a corresponding warehouse, and there is also a canteen for the workers to eat.Shopkeeper Han is very thoughtful in his design, and everything is well designed.

Qiaoyun followed shopkeeper Han and walked from the front to the back. Qiaoyun was very satisfied with the arrangement and design of the weaving workshop.Especially the various machines made according to Qiaoyun's meaning, are also very delicate.

"Uncle Han, everything is doing well here. The next step is to recruit workers. As long as enough female workers are recruited, I will lead them to work." Seeing all this, Qiao Yun was also a little excited.It is very rare to have such a weaving workshop in the north, and the profit of the weaving workshop in the future must be very considerable.

"Yeah, these days, while collecting cocoons, I have already told those people that girls of the right age in each village should sign up. This manpower problem, you have to check it out, we must Choose some smart and clever ones." Shopkeeper Han is also proud of everything in front of him.

The two wandered around the weaving workshop for a while, but Qiao Yun didn't find any dissatisfaction, so he and shopkeeper Han came out of the weaving workshop and returned to the cloth village.

There is still a long queue outside the cloth village, but Qi Tiankui and his son have already sold the cocoons and are waiting beside them.Seeing Qiaoyun and shopkeeper Han coming back, Qi Tiankui rushed up to greet him, "Girl, this year's silkworm cocoons of our family sold for nearly [-] cents." Qi Tiankui grinned from ear to ear.

In the past, it was basically about two tangs, but this year it can be sold for nearly five tangs, which is twice as much. Qi Tiankui is of course happy.Although the Qi family has a lot of things to do this year, they also have a lot of income from the money. How could Qi Tiankui, who loves money like this, be unhappy?
Of course, this Qi Tiankui has some brains, and he also understands that this is all the fortune brought by Qiaoyun.Therefore, seeing Qiaoyun, her attitude became more and more cordial.

It's just that when Qiao Yun heard Qi Tiankui calling her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.The character of the Qi family can't be changed for the rest of their lives. If it's not profitable, Qi Tiankui would be so affectionate to her if she hadn't been able to earn money?However, Qiao Yun didn't say anything, this is better than before, no one wants to face a face of constipation all day long.

Shopkeeper Han, on the other hand, had a clear look in his eyes, and then stepped forward and said, "Brother Qi, I have been too busy just now, so I didn't make time to meet with my brother. Let's go, I will be the host today, please go to the restaurant , we brothers still have some things to discuss.”

Shopkeeper Han approached Qi Tiankui, of course, to discuss Qiaoyun's work in the weaving workshop. After all, Qiaoyun is still the adopted daughter of the Qi family. Qi Tiankui must agree to Qiaoyun's work in the town.

Qi Tiankui didn't know what was going on here, but it really made Qi Tiankui feel flattered that shopkeeper Han wanted to invite his father and son to dinner.How could Qi Tiankui not agree to such a rare good thing? "Oh, isn't this costing shopkeeper Han? I feel very sorry for this."

Shopkeeper Han smiled, "Brother Qi, just hand over the carriage to the boys, they will look after it for you, and come back to pick it up after dinner." After finishing speaking, Shopkeeper Han stepped forward to lead the way, towards the Go to the best restaurant in town.

Qi Tiankui and his son followed behind shopkeeper Han, looking at the signboard of the restaurant in front, they couldn't help sticking out their tongues.They never thought that shopkeeper Han would lead them to such a good restaurant.This is the most famous place in the town. It is said that if you eat a meal here, you may not be able to get out without two or three hanging coins.

In the case of Qi's family, let alone this kind of restaurant, even ordinary restaurants have no chance to go in.At this moment, Qi Tiankui and his son entered the restaurant with the shopkeeper Zai Han, just like country bumpkins entering the city, and they felt fresh everywhere.

Shopkeeper Han is obviously very familiar with this place. When the young man saw Shopkeeper Han coming in, he hurried forward to greet him, and brought everyone to a private room on the second floor as required. "You guys, please wait a moment, I'm going to make tea right now." While speaking, the little boy went downstairs with a thump.

Not long after, the boy came up again with a large tray in his hand.On the tray is not just tea, but also four plates of snacks, two plates of dried fruit, and two plates of fresh fruit. "Please take your time, the food and drinks will be served later, don't worry." It's almost noon, and it's the busiest time of the restaurant, so the food and wine will definitely not be served so fast, the boy brought these up to let the guests Cushion your tummy.

Qiaoyun looked at the tea and snacks on the table, and nodded involuntarily.This restaurant is really of a good grade. You can tell just by looking at the few dishes of dim sum. The appearance is very good, and it looks very appetizing.

"Come on, let's have something to eat first, Qiaoyun, try these dim sums, they are all made by the most famous dim sum shop in our town." Shopkeeper Han picked up the chopsticks and helped Qiaoyun He picked up a few pieces of snacks and put them in front of her.

　Add more to send.Huh, my tooth was broken and I went to fix it, but the anesthetic was used to kill my nerves. I felt that half of my face was numb, which was so uncomfortable.
