Chapter 173 Printing Machine

Ruan Yunsi thought about it carefully, but she couldn't help laughing just like what Yunniang said, she nodded and said, "I do seem to be a little greedy, but that's true, contented people are always happy is the mentality of ordinary people , people like me who are not satisfied are always happy, and they are also determined to forge ahead, otherwise how can we have a happy life now?"

Yun Niang nodded and said: "Happiness is real. In the past year, I worked so hard to earn 30 taels of silver. I couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear. Now you have only been in Xiaowang Village for a few years, and now you have money on hand. More than 1 silver, right? Not to mention anything else, but this brocade, from the Chinese New Year to now, no matter what, there are two or three thousand silver in the account."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "It's true that it's in the account, but do you think that these are just income? You don't need money for raw silk? Don't you need money for dyes? Or these female workers don't want money? In the future, Xiu girl, Bi Qiu gets married, Brother Nan gets married, The dowry and dowry are all paid by me, so it can’t be shabby, so how much do you want?”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Yunniang couldn't help but smile. She knew that Ruan Yunsi would not treat her sister-in-law and uncle badly, but pretending to be annoyed, she pushed Ruan Yunsi and said, "You are so stingy that you even want this Calculate with me? No matter how much you spend, a few hundred taels of silver is enough, why don’t you have a net worth of thirty to fifty thousand taels by then? Now you have the nerve to call yourself poor in front of me.”

"How can a few hundred taels of silver be enough? At that time, I will be rich, so of course I can't treat them badly." Ruan Yunsi also laughed, and suddenly saw Xianglan approaching, and smiled from a distance: "I heard that the girl is coming, why don't you go?" Let's take a look over there? Xianggong was still waiting to show off to you, but after waiting for a long time, no one was seen, so he had to send me over to invite him personally."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said, "I was going, didn't I get stuck talking to Yun Niang?" After speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Yun Niang: "Before Mr. Su and Wang Huwei came to hunt, they asked me what I wanted. Prey? I couldn't refuse at the time, so I had to tell them that I wanted a few pheasants and rabbits. There is nothing about you here, so why not go home and wait for them."

Yunniang pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course I can go back, but I'm afraid that the person the young master really wants to see is not me, and he will inevitably be disappointed. Yes, he came all the way here, you can talk about it, stay at noon Don't leave a meal? Then save me from making my own decisions, and you will annoy me again."

Yunniang's words were unintentional, but Ruan Yunsi sighed in her heart. Thinking that Su Mingxi actually knew her identity, but still generously chose to forgive herself and refused to take revenge with complaints, she couldn't help feeling grateful and grateful Sigh, thank the other party for their tolerance, sigh that I am from modern times, the idea of ​​monogamy is deeply rooted, and the two are destined to have no relationship.

So she was stunned for a while, until Yunniang pushed her, she came back to her senses, and said with a helpless smile: "At that time, you can see what they mean, if they want to stay for dinner, you can stay for a while, if you don't want to stay , let them go, so why ask me specifically?"

Yunniang saw that her smile seemed a bit bitter, so she swallowed back all the words she was planning to make fun of, and left the factory by herself, just in time to meet some women from the same village who had just finished washing their clothes in Liuhua River, so they went back together with her companions. village.

Here Ruan Yunsi came to the loom making room together with Xianglan. As the name suggests, this is a place dedicated to making looms, so it is naturally the site of the Li family and his son.

At this time, more than 20 men were busy in front of their own work. Ruan Yunsi looked at the wood, copper and iron piled up in the corner, and some parts that had been polished in the city. Even the factory building for making looms is included. This one-stop is really thorough. Even my modern factory has not been perfected to this point?well!Who made the high-end talents who made looms in ancient times too few, and it was so easy to meet such a family, what if they didn't grasp it well?
Just as he was thinking, Li Huaifeng had already seen her coming over there, but unlike usual, he didn't jump over impatiently and report his research progress to Ruan Yunsi, but stood with his head held high and his hands behind his back. At a machine, it looks like a big rooster suddenly laid a golden egg, not to mention how proud it is.

Ruan Yunsi was startled for a moment, and then she heard Old Li humming heavily, and scolded: "What do you look like? You are also in charge of Miss Ruan? Why don't you be honest with me."

Li Huaifeng straightened his waist and let his father teach him a lesson, and immediately collapsed. He glanced at his father sadly, and the kid muttered disrespectfully: "Jealous, this is jealousy, huh, your old man I feel that I can't compare to me, so I can only play the prestige of my father in front of me."

Ruan Yunsi was still a little puzzled at first, but when she heard Li Huaifeng's muttering, her eyes lit up, she hurried over, and said pleasantly, "Huaifeng, have you made your printing machine?"

That's right, only this achievement can make this guy stand here arrogantly pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.In fact, thinking about it, he is obviously a genius, but because of the limited number of failures, he was looked down upon by his father and brothers and even younger brothers. Now he can finally feel proud, and pretending to be a wolf with a big tail is simply a matter of course. Being reprimanded by the "jealous of the virtuous and capable" father, there is no place to complain.

Ruan Yunsi was full of sympathy for Li Huaifeng, and rushed over to look at the half-person-high printing machine in front of him.

In fact, printing technology in this era is not without, because printing is simple and fast, so it has been applied very early. However, compared with the history that Ruan Yunsi knows, the printing technology here is still very backward, and there are often color registration and color leakage patterns, so when weaving technology After the development, the printing technology was gradually discarded. There are basically few printed cloths sold in those cloth shops, and most of them are plain or simple weaving pattern cloths. The consequences of this situation are: brocades The styles are quite rich, but the patterns of Gebu and linen are so monotonous that it is outrageous that many cloth shops do not sell Gebu and linen with patterns at all. Even if there are, they are simple and sporadic weaves. The cloth that caused the printing to be blurred and distorted in place was eventually eliminated in the long river of history.

Therefore, if there is a printing machine in the true sense that can quickly produce patterned Gebu linen, it is conceivable that this market will not be worse than the brocade market. Brocade is a tool used by the rich to show off their status. Gebu linen is the first choice of the common people. After all, the number of rich people is still small, but the number of common people is tens of millions.

Who wants to wear only those plain fabrics when you have calico?The profits in this, just think about it, are very scary.Of course, in this era, cotton cloth has not yet appeared. Ruan Yunsi can predict that when cotton planting changes from relying on mountains to planting in large areas, and then cotton cloth appears, this will definitely be a great change in agriculture. For this change, she plans to Be a behind-the-scenes pusher.

After studying the various parts of the printing machine with Li Huaifeng in detail, Ruan Yunsi had to admit that Li Huaifeng is indeed a genius. From the perspective of the machine, this printing machine is considered perfect, far more perfect than the sketch he drew on the ground that day There were many, so she immediately asked Zhong Xiu to bring a piece of white cotton cloth, and Li Huaifeng also enthusiastically painted each letterpress of the printing machine with dye. His hands were shaking a little.

Although the old man of the Li family is either yelling or beating and scolding this "not doing business" son every day, he is actually concerned about it in his heart.Which father doesn't want his son to be famous?So at this time, the old man didn't care how much he dismissed the printing machine before, and he and his nephews came together to watch Li Huaifeng use the printing machine to print on the white Gebu.

Li Huaifeng took a deep breath. He had repeatedly tested every part of the printing machine, and only started to assemble it after there were no problems. Feeling that there should be no mistake, but unavoidably apprehensive, staring at the patterns printed on the Gebu with wide eyes.

After printing more than ten feet in a row, the simple flower patterns on the Gebu are brightly colored and layered.This time, even Old Li Tou and the rest of the Li family couldn't help holding their breath. They had a premonition that this son and brother, who had always been whimsical, had finally become a thing by him. There was no doubt that this Once the first printing machine succeeds, it will set off a big storm in the entire weaving and dyeing industry.

But in the end, when printing No.16 seven feet, there was still a little bit of color leakage.Li Huaifeng's head drooped all of a sudden, and Lao Li and the others also blew their beards and stared at him, only Xianglan held her husband's hand tightly to express comfort.

Ruan Yunsi didn't notice the demeanor of the people at all. From the beginning to the end, her eyes never left the piece of Gebu. Even when she saw that the last piece of cloth was slightly missing, Li Huaifeng stopped all movements in time. Staring closely at the printed cloth, under the bright sunlight, her eyes shone brighter than the sun.

"Cheng... you succeeded, you actually succeeded. Huaifeng, the first... the first experiment, you succeeded."

Everyone didn't understand what Ruan Yunsi's concentration and silence meant?satisfy?dissatisfied?disappointment?Old Li's heart has been agitated, and no one knows better than him that his second son has spent more than 100 taels of silver in researching this machine, which is not a small amount. Ruan Yunsi explain?
In this strange silence, Ruan Yunsi suddenly raised her head slowly and looked at Li Huaifeng excitedly.Her voice trembled a little, full of great joy and excitement.If she hadn't been sane, if she didn't know that this is ancient times, and the defense between men and women is greater than the sky, if she hadn't exhausted all her strength to restrain herself, she thought she would really run up to hug Li Huaifeng and bounce a few times, and then hug Li Huaifeng. Kissed a few times on the face: It was successful. This is Li Huaifeng's first time making a printing machine, and it was successful. How could she restrain her joy?
　Tomorrow, the second climax will come, oh, after the little father-in-law and Yun Si poke open the window paper, where will the two of them go?
　　Aww, please actively, don't be careless, use the monthly pass to kill the stupid bar that keeps on entertaining everyone's appetite, la la la...
