The champion is my son

Chapter 109 The Hydraulic Spinning Wheel

Li Ao checked the big spinning wheel and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he poured the hemp silk on the side into it until everything was fixed.Then I don't know where the mechanism was triggered, and the runner in the water started to rotate, driving the operation of the entire spinning wheel.The flax on the spinning wheel is then spun on a spindle until it becomes a thread.The hemp thread here is consumed very quickly. After checking more than [-] spindles, Li Ao started to connect the hemp thread again, very busy.

Second Aunt Sun at the side saw that Li Ao couldn't do it alone, and Li Qing stood unmoved, so she offered to help.

Let Li Ao concentrate on checking the operation of the entire spinning wheel.

It's not that Li Qing is putting on airs, but that she knows that she is handicapped.If she takes action, the big spinning wheel that Li Ao built will have to be returned to the furnace directly.

"How?" Li Qing walked to Li Ao's side and asked.

"Everything is normal. So far, we have succeeded." Li Ao didn't smile on his face, but there was undisguised excitement in his tone.

"That's good." Li Qing smiled.

Second Master Liu also came to the river with his tools. As expected of a veteran in the carpentry industry, he could see problems in some details at a glance.If it is solved, the number of spindles on the big spinning wheel can be increased by ten.

So the two stopped the spinning wheel and bowed their heads to fill.

The villagers were stunned. It seemed that the spinning wheel had succeeded, which was the first in the world.It's hard to imagine how beautiful the future will be.

Two days later, the transformation of the big spinning wheel was completed.Li Qing asked Li Ao to build a large spinning wheel with a canopy on it. Under the research of the two, the number of spindles increased from 24 to 32, and the spinning speed was 32 times that of an ordinary spinning wheel with one spindle.Just because of the limitation of water conservancy drive, this thing can only be built near the water, so it cannot be promoted on a large scale, but it will also bring great convenience to people.

Shilitang Village is mainly made of silk, which is a long fiber, which is completely suitable for such a large spinning wheel.

As for short fibers like cotton, only three-spindle pedal spinning wheels can be used.

After seeing such a large spinning wheel that day, the villagers decided to increase silkworm breeding this year. In the past, they were always limited by the production tools. In the future, the efficiency of spinning will be greatly improved, so there is no need to worry about the lack of silk.

But in the market, rare things are often more expensive, Li Qing knows very well that the price of this fabric will definitely not be high in the future.However, the market for fabrics like silk and satin enjoyed by wealthy and well-known people will not shrink.

Time to investigate the loom.The loom of Li Qing's family can only weave plain cloth, which does not mean that other families do not have jacquard.The jasmine flowers on Li Qing's clothes were embroidered stitch by stitch by Jiang.

Her family can only produce plain cloth, which is then taken to the workshop on the wharf for dyeing and tailoring.

Because of the relatively simple appearance and working principle of the spinning machine, Li Qing was able to draw sketches, but for the jacquard loom, Li Qing was confused.Every morning, after Li Qing checked the homework of Yunji and Guan Shangxuan, he ran to Liu Erye's house with his pen and ink on his back.

"Now the jacquard machines outside are too old in terms of design and color. If they can produce complicated and varied jacquards, their value will be infinite."

Li Qing carefully analyzed each part of the loom in front of him, the place where the silk thread runs through, and what kind of pattern it will become once the thread is threaded.

"Miss Li, this is not very difficult in Ao's opinion. The jacquard looms outside the jacquard world can produce all kinds of flowers and animals, so what kind does the lady want?"

Li Ao was a little puzzled, isn't the current jacquard clothes very complicated?

"What I mean is that if all these can be integrated, the looms used in every household are small in size now. If it is replaced by a large loom, multiple people need to work together. What I want is that kind, and can provide The resulting colors are not monotonous, if there are hundreds of flowers on a piece of cloth at the same time..."

How could Li Qing not know the current weaving skills, jacquard is the highest achievement in the weaving industry, and it should have developed prosperously in this era.

She has been to a cloth shop in Shangjing, and the designs and colors on all kinds of fabrics are almost the same, without mixing.If she can make that kind of large-scale pattern, she can take the opportunity to enter the world of upper clothing materials.

Dreams are good, reality is cruel.

"Ao understands."

Next, the sketch was made countless times.Either it can't turn here or it can't be coherent there.After Li Qing tore a few catties of paper, he finally made a decent sketch with the help of Liu Erye and Li Ao.

The next step is the actual operation.

Li Qing didn't have practical skills, so she had to spend an hour or two every day to check the results.

Every morning, she accompanied Yun and He Shangxuan to review their homework, went to Liu Erye's house in the afternoon, and wrote story books in the evening. Her life was very fulfilling.

"Mother, don't work so hard, okay? Go to bed earlier at night and wake up later in the morning."

Yun Ji stroked Li Qing's back and said.

My mother used to sleep late, and she would never get up without calling more than a few times.But now I get up before dawn, wash clothes after breakfast, sweep the floor after washing clothes, and eat at the end.

After finishing her homework in the morning, she ran away without a trace.

"Okay, mother listened to Yunji, cough cough cough." Li Qing turned his head away and coughed a few times.

At first, she just felt itchy throat, which would be cured after a cough. Who would have thought that this cough would be out of control.

"Mother, how are you?" Yunji asked anxiously.He stretched out one hand to touch Li Qing's forehead, and stretched out the other to touch his own.

The temperature feels about the same.

"Mother is fine, it's just a little cold." Li Qing said with a smile.

Shang Xuan went into the house and told Jiang about this, and Jiang immediately put down the needle and thread in his hand and ran out of the room.

"Why are you all right, your face is so pale that you don't have any blood left." Jiang shi helped Li Qing up, and wanted to let her into the house.Jiang turned her head and said to Yun and Monk Xuan: "You two move your seats and stools in, and recite your books in the room, so as not to catch a cold."

Li Qing: "..." I'm actually fine, nothing at all, so don't make a fuss.

But Mrs. Jiang didn't seem to understand Li Qing. When Li Qing entered the house, Mrs. Jiang wrapped her in a quilt and ordered her not to be damaged.

Li Qing had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the bed like a triangle.

Yunji and Guan Shangxuan took the book and went into Li Qing's room to read silently. Whenever Li Qing moved, his serious eyes seemed to eat her, so Li Qing sat on the bed and did not dare to move.

"Actually, I'm really fine, don't worry." Li Qing said indifferently.

It happened that Mrs. Jiang came in with the medicine. "Fortunately, the medicine you picked in the sun is very well preserved."
