Chapter 179 Calico

The man agreed to go upstairs, and after a while, he heard Su Liuyun's laughter and said: "Miss Ruan, you are really hard to invite. You have taken Joe for so long, but what surprise do you want to show us? Hurry up." Take it out." Before the words finished, Ruan Yunsi and Zhong Nan couldn't help laughing, and Zhong Nan said: "It is true that every kind of boss has a kind of shopkeeper, and the five young masters talk like shopkeeper Yan."

Su Liuyun came down just to show respect. In fact, several people still had to go to the third floor to discuss matters. Zhong Nan took a few guys to the carriage to carry brocades, and only selected one of each to send to the third floor, and the rest went directly to the third floor. Put it on the counter for sale, or put it into the warehouse.

They haven't seen each other for a few months, and the three of them have a lot to say. Ruan Yunsi listened carefully to Su Liuyun and shopkeeper Yan's analysis of the market. It is necessary to be aware of it so that you can adjust the direction of the brocade when you go back.

When Su Liuyun and shopkeeper Yan saw the hundred horses of high-quality makeup brocade, they couldn't help being very pleasantly surprised, Su Liuyun smiled and said: "The last time I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Eunuch Guo told me specifically that years ago Those brocades that were presented as a tribute were very popular with the nobles, because they were beautiful and rich, and compared to the brocades weaved and presented in the south of the Yangtze River, and asked us to pay more tribute, I was in a dilemma. Come here, this is really timely rain, but the number is too small, if women and girls fight, it will be really difficult, it's not that Sichuan brocade is difficult to weave, two or three hundred tributes every year is already rare."

Ruan Yunsi sighed and said, "Is there any way? Mr. Luo of Jiangning Weaving is stingy, and the number of Jacquard machines in Hualou is too small. If Eunuch Guo wants it, why not talk to the other side and ask them to sell me a few more machines." After speaking, Su Liuyun and others laughed: "That's impossible, Jiang Ning's weaving is not something that a eunuch can do well, not to mention that it is the absolute leader who is responsible for the brocades used in the tribute palace, and also supports overseas trade. No one dares to take their ideas easily, if the girl does not have the help of her little father-in-law, let alone Hualou jacquard looms, even ordinary looms, you would never get it from Jiangning weaving."

Ruan Yunsi knew about Su Mingxi, they only found out recently, and they also wondered how Ruan Yunsi could buy machines from Jiangning Weaving, but the other party didn't tell them, so they couldn't ask.Later, some dyers in their own family told about Su Mingxi's going to the weaving and dyeing factory, so they knew about it, but they didn't know that Ruan Yunsi and Su Mingxi had become strangers.

At that moment, Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "The shopkeeper and the fifth son are right. Fortunately, the family I recruited has very good craftsmanship, and the number of looms is steadily increasing. So over time, we will produce more and more high-end looms. Brocade, please rest assured, Mr. Wu. The reason why I came here in person this time is not to show you these brocades, but something else." After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and said to Zhong Nan: " Bring us one of our calico."

Zhong Nan hurriedly took a piece of calico over there. Seeing her solemnity, Su Liuyun and shopkeeper Yan couldn't help but straighten up. They didn't know what surprise Ruan Yunsi would give them.

Shopkeeper Yan first took the piece of cloth from Zhong Nan, and the old man was immediately at a loss, holding a piece of cloth in his hand and blinking, wondering what it was?Definitely not satin that's for sure, just calico?What a joke, how can there be such a flower cloth?I have been selling cloth all my life, but I have never seen such a beautiful floral cloth. "

After all, Su Liuyun was young, and his acceptance of new things far surpassed that of shopkeeper Yan. At this moment, seeing the old man holding the piece of cloth, he was numb. Xiang Ruan Yunsi called out in a low voice: "Girl, this is...is this linen? You actually weaved a linen with flowers? My God, this...how much effort does it take, although it is beautiful, but...but this is It’s a big loss. The rich don’t know how to wear this kind of cloth, how much can the poor pay for the woven cloth?”

Ruan Yunsi laughed and said: "Do I look so stupid? You don't understand such a simple truth as the fifth young master said? Look again, see clearly, this cloth is woven, but look at this flower How did you get it up..." Before he could finish speaking, the shopkeeper suddenly let out a cry of alarm.

"This... is this a stamp? Oh my god, this... this is actually printed and dyed. Fifth son, you... just look..." Shopkeeper Yan finally came to his senses, he had spent his whole life in this business , although he hasn't seen a piece of cloth printed and dyed in the true sense since he stepped into this business, but he has heard of that ancient craft. .

Su Liuyun was also terrified, and hurriedly left his seat and came to Shopkeeper Yan, took the cloth and took a closer look, his eyes were also frightened, and it took him a long while to look up at Ruan Yunsi, let out a long breath and said : "This... this is really printed, Miss Ruan, you... how did you do it?"

Printing and dyeing is an ancient technology, but because the color is difficult to grasp, it is gradually eliminated.Su Liuyun is also from a family of weaving and dyeing. From some ancient books, he can still see the prototypes of some very old but immature printing machines. At this time, after a closer look, he can immediately see that these flowers are not woven, but printed and dyed. from.

"That's right, this is printed and dyed cloth. When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I saw a picture drawn on the mud floor by the second son of the Li family when he was begging in the street. I recognized it from the letterpress pattern at that time. The pattern of a printing machine. So I did everything possible to attract the family back. A few days ago, the printing machine was finally made, and this is the result."

After Ruan Yunsi finished speaking, she took a sip of tea before pointing to the piece of cloth with a smile and said, "I believe Fifth Young Master and Shopkeeper Yan also know that printing and dyeing technology is actually much simpler and time-saving than brocade weaving, just because there is no way to solve the color problem. So it is gradually eliminated. As long as the color problem is solved, this printing and dyeing used on Gebu linen will attract the attention of many people. One foot of cloth is only two or three pennies more expensive than those plain cloth. Who doesn't want to buy some floral cloth? Go back and make clothes? Don’t you two think so?”

"That's right, especially women, who wouldn't like this kind of floral cloth? Although it's not as good as brocade, what is the price of brocade? How can ordinary people be willing to buy it? But this floral cloth is different." Shopkeeper Yan was excited. With his vision and shrewdness, how could he not see the business opportunity of printing and dyeing calico?
Of course, Su Liuyun also understood the unusual significance of this, took a few deep breaths slowly, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, girl, we should soon surpass the sales of Guiyun Silk and Satin Village in the lower-level market." Yes, I can assure you that these floral cloths can monopolize half of the ordinary cloth market."

Ruan Yunsi nodded and said: "That's right, the second printing machine is already in production, the first printing machine can only produce this kind of pattern, and I have asked Huaifeng to figure out a way for the second printing machine to see if it is possible to use the letterpress It can be disassembled and installed at any time. In this way, we don’t need to manufacture a large number of printing machines, but only need to produce letterpress with various patterns. Today I brought [-] bolts of floral cloth, all of which are gray cloth for the villagers to weave. After printing and dyeing, the [-] bolts of cloth only took more than a month, which is really time-saving and labor-saving compared to brocade."

Su Liuyun and shopkeeper Yan were ecstatic, nodding their heads as they looked at the calico.Ruan Yunsi said again: "Sell these [-] pieces of cloth in the store first, let's see the sales situation, if it is popular, now is the slack time for farming, I can mobilize the whole village to weave the gray cloth, and then print and dye it. At that time, Liujin cloth shop can have another special cloth, so let Guiyun silk and satin shop skip it."

When mentioning Guiyun silk and satin village, Su Liuyun couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "In these days, I occasionally meet Xu Jinpeng, I think he can hold his breath, this person can make Guiyun Their business is so big, they are definitely not ordinary people. I heard that they are also involved in overseas trade and mining, and their achievements are extraordinary, which is enough to see this person's ambition. With these supports, the stability of his position is self-evident. Although he has not made any moves these days, we must guard against it, and the girl must not take it lightly."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "I understand that, but I'm not afraid of him. Soldiers come to cover up water and soil. If he wants to find a place on me, it's nothing more than weaving and dyeing. But I have a plan in mind, so he wants to play tricks." What kind of tricks, just let him play. But Fifth Young Master, you must prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry, this kind of person can do anything once he loses his mind. "

Su Liuyun was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but blushed, knowing that Ruan Yunsi had already noticed Xu Jinpeng's plan for him, but fortunately, shopkeeper Yan went to look carefully at the piece of floral cloth right now, so he didn't notice it. The strangeness of the fifth son of his own family.

Yin couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "The girl is really smart, but don't worry about me. After so many back and forth, I still don't know what kind of virtue he is? Hmph, I want to see, besides playing tricks and tricks, he also What kind of means can there be?"

Ruan Yunsi looked at Su Liuyun's humming appearance, and thought not to mention, the fifth son is really beautiful, especially when he is angry, no wonder that scumbag Xu Jinpeng can't help but use those dirty tricks, maybe in addition to forcing the fifth son In addition to submitting, he also has the look of wanting to see the other party's anger, right?
It was already noon, let alone Ruan Yunsi couldn't go back to Xiaowang Village, if she could, how could Su Liuyun and shopkeeper Yan, who regarded her as the God of Wealth, let her go back?Su Liuyun asked the guys to go to one of the most famous restaurants in the capital, Yan Chi Lou, to book a table and wait for a banquet. Considering that Ruan Yunsi is a woman, it is not easy to show her face, so she specially sent a few guys to serve the noodles in a big food box After putting it on, a table of noodles was set up on the third floor of Liujin's head office.

　On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year. By the way, I would like to ask for a monthly ticket recommendation, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
