Chapter 235: The advent of plain silk!
"How is Xiuhe?"
At this moment, everyone present was very excited and naturally looking forward to seeing this batch of materials coming off the plane. They wanted to see if they would fail again this time.
"Ma'am, Miss Li, the color is wrong, I can't color it!"
What, the color is wrong and can’t be painted?
Sure enough, when they saw the finished product, they were stunned at first, and then Mrs. Su actually burst into tears, "Wow, what should I do? All my hard work has been wasted!"
Mrs. Su had collapsed. She had wanted to participate in this competition, but she overestimated her ability and thought that she could make plain gauze fabric by finding the right silkworms. Unexpectedly, the plain gauze was made, but because it was too thin to be colored, she had to declare it a failure!
Is it really impossible to make real plain gauze fabric?
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm sorry Qingwan, it's all my fault. I thought everything was just a matter of time, but I didn't expect that I overestimated my ability. The white gauze was made, but it's transparent and has no color. How can it be considered cloth?"
At this moment, Mrs. Su felt desperate. She had never thought that things would turn out like this. How should she explain to Li Qingwan now?
When Li Qingwan saw this, she personally helped Madam Su up. She knew that Madam Su had done her best!
"Madam, please get up. We still have time!"
"The competition is about to start. Japan and Goryeo have joined forces to make a lot of beautiful fabrics. If we can't make plain yarn, we will lose to them. Then, they will steal more of our silk weaving skills. Qingwan, what should we do?"
Mrs. Su, who was always strong-willed, burst into tears, but Li Qingwan comforted her. She saw the plain gauze fabric, which had no color, but...
She found that it was lighter and thinner than the last time, which meant that their idea was correct. If the idea was correct, it meant that they were halfway to success. She was still very confident that she could make plain silk cloth.
"Xiu He, weigh the cloth!"
"Yes, Miss Li."
Xiuhe went to weigh the products, and she was surprised to find that the weight was completely qualified. It was a pity that there was no color!
"Xiu He, how is it?"
"Madam, Miss Li, the plain yarn we made this time is actually qualified, but the color..."
"Is the weight correct?"
"Yes, and it's more flexible. I've reduced some of the warp and weft, so it seems to be correct!"
"The proportions of the silk are correct. Now we just have to get the customer service to dye it!"
"Qingwan, such a thin fabric cannot be colored. Maybe we really can't achieve the skills of the ancients!"
Mrs. Su once had the good fortune to see in a book the ancient clothing that was buried with the empress dowager. It was a long dress in red and blue. Even though the fabric was very thin, the color was very bright.
They have made it now, but they can’t color it. What should they do?
The general practice is to dye the fabric when it is in the grey cloth stage, but because this fabric is too thin, they dyed it when it is in the silk stage, but they didn't expect that it would fade in color because it is too thin.
"Don't worry, ma'am. There must be another way. Let me think of a way."
"What else can I think of? I've tried tie-dye, and it doesn't work!"
"Not urgent!"
Li Qingwan knew that this was a difficult hurdle to overcome, but she believed that as long as she was willing to try, there would be a way to color it.
“Perhaps our approach is wrong?”
What, wrong method?
As soon as Li Qingwan said this, Madam Su looked at her with a complicated expression, "Qingwan, what's wrong with your method?"
"It's true that we used tie-dye, but we overlooked one problem, which is that the fabric is too thin and light, which will make the color lighter. Therefore, we also need to adjust the dyes for tie-dye and re-adjust the proportions!"
"How to match it?"
Li Qingwan held in her hands the thin gauze that she had always dreamed of, but without any color, it lost its beauty.
"Ma'am, let me try."
"You come?"
Li Qingwan did what she said. She had people re-adjust the tie-dye formula and the proportion of water added had to be appropriate, otherwise the tie-dye would be either too bright or too light in color.
The colors should always be appropriate.
Li Qingwan is indeed very talented. Under her leadership, this difficult problem was finally overcome. Mrs. Su knew it the moment the sex embryo appeared.
Become!
"That's great, Qingwan, you really are an expert at making fabrics, we've done it!"
"Madam, it's getting late. I'll go back first. I'll trouble you here. Tomorrow you can bring the fabrics for our exhibition. This time, we must make the Japanese bow down and be convinced!"
Dusk is falling and the moon is high in the sky.
After Li Qingwan had her meal at the Su Mansion, she planned to go back, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked out of the Su Mansion, Lou Yixiao was standing at the door waiting for her.
It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
"The owner?"
When she saw Lou Yixiao, she was indeed surprised. When Lou Yixiao saw her coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I have something to say to you, Miss. Is it convenient for you?"
"nature!"
Second update, the stars are shining.
In the restaurant on the second floor, after Li Qingwan and Lou Yixiao sat down, Zi'er poured tea for them. After pouring the tea, Zi'er was also sent out.
Because what Lou Yixiao wants to say is confidential.
"Ms. Li, I won't waste my words. I came to you to ask you, are you confident about tomorrow's game?"
He didn't want to ask what kind of cloth they made, he just wanted to know how sure she was?
"Does the owner of this sentence mean that he doesn't believe us?"
"Of course not, it's just that this competition is very special. I don't know where these Japanese people found many silk weaving masters. Look, I bought these fabrics at a high price. These are obviously from the Jiangnan area, but now, these patterns and fabrics have been given new names."
what?
Hearing Lou Yixiao's words, Li Qingwan's expression darkened, "What did you say? The Japanese are stealing Jiangnan fabrics?"
“Look at all this cloth!”
Lou Yixiao also discovered that something was wrong with the Japanese this time. Why did they have the courage to compete with a major silk-weaving country in silk weaving technology? It turned out that they had already stolen a lot of silk craft technology.
He only found out about this now.
Those were pictures with colorful silk fabrics on them. Even the names, colors and patterns had all been changed. They were clearly silk fabrics from the Jiangnan area, but they had suddenly become the exclusive property of the Japanese. Moreover, they shamelessly believed that their technology was better than theirs, and thus dared to come to the Celestial Empire to provoke and look down on them.
"Well, you should be familiar with these fabrics, right?"
Li Qingwan took a deep breath, and after a careful look, she nodded, "These fabrics have been improved, the warp and weft have changed, and so has the dyeing, but in fact, they are still traditional silk fabrics of our great Celestial Empire. These damn Japanese people, do they think they can turn a blind eye to this?"
