Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 380 Take a step by step

Xue Hong had a black line on his face: "Well, Mingye, I want you to turn these fruit cores into powder, but can you separate the different colors of the cores? Now all the colors have become one Dui, how do you want me to separate?"

……

So, with Ming Ye's help, Xue Hong quickly got three packages of dyeing powder in three primary colors of red, yellow, and blue.Taking these powders and a bag of gemstones from washing before, and a big bag of alluvial gold, Xue Hong appeared in Zhimeifang again.

He first handed over the sand and precious stones to the jewelry craftsmen of Zhimeifang, and after receiving the astonishment and admiration of the craftsmen perfectly, he changed his way to the embroidery workshop on Zhuangzi to find Widow Qiao.

Today's embroidery workshop is fully on the right track. Xue Pan found a special house for these women who can embroider in Shu, and made perfect arrangements for logistics and security.They only need to do their embroidery work without leaving home every day, and their family life can be basically guaranteed.

Most of those with boys in the family found suitable jobs in the Xue family caravan. For those with children, according to their qualifications, some were sent to Zhen Shiyin’s private school to attend classes, and some were arranged to be used everywhere in Xue’s family. A place to practice skills so that you can get a good job in the future.

Therefore, these embroiderers who followed Xue Pan to Beijing from Sichuan and Shu all appreciated the kindness of Xue's family, and none of them slowed down and complained negatively in their daily work.

This day when Xue Hong came, everyone had already surrounded him. Widow Qiao smiled and said, "What kind of wind brought Second Master here? But what do you want? Come in and sit down."

The embroiderers here warmly entertained Xue Hong, and Xue Hong accepted them with a smile. Seeing that he had no airs at all, everyone felt even happier.

Unexpectedly, after a few pleasantries, Xue Hong took out four bags of dyeing powder, and called all the embroiderers to the yard.

He simply poured a handful of red, yellow, and blue dye powders into three different dyeing vats, and then brought a piece of white silk cloth next to him. Everyone was amazed by the pure color, they had never seen such an easy-to-use dye.

Widow Qiao asked: "Second Master, where did you get these dyeing powders? Why do I feel that they are different from ordinary ones?"

Xue Hong smiled mysteriously: "Naturally, it is the best. It not only dyes quickly and well, but also does not fade or cross colors. It is an extremely rare thing, and it was hard for me to get it. There are red, yellow, blue and black four colors here. I will put it here for you to study and see if it is suitable for the printing and dyeing of Shu brocade, and if it is suitable, I will send someone to dye it for you."

Widow Qiao and others were very happy after hearing this. The Xue family had their own printing and dyeing process, which meant that the raw materials for the embroidery they made did not need to be controlled by other families.

You know, sometimes Zhimeifang is in a hurry to ship goods, but they are so anxious when they can't get the dyed fabric in their hands.

Widow Qiao happily stroked the dyed cloth that was still dripping with water, and said with a smile: "If we can do the dyeing ourselves, it will save a lot of expenses, so we won't be afraid that the dyed cloth will not arrive in time, which will delay our shipment." Yes. Sisters, how many nights should be saved. However, I always feel that if we can even weave and spin cotton by ourselves, that would be great."

Although Widow Qiao's words were expressing a good wish, which cannot be realized in a short period of time, Xue Hong's heart was greatly moved by these words.

If the clothing industry can start from cotton planting and silkworm breeding, to weaving and spinning cotton, to printing, dyeing and embroidery, to designing styles, and finally selling finished products.If this series of industrial chains is formed, then there is no fear of untimely supply or broken chains from upstream and downstream merchants. How much profit can be increased in this process is probably impossible to estimate for a while.

But...it is very difficult to achieve this.Even if Xue Hong intends to complete the entire apparel industry chain, he is currently in the period of the struggle for the right to inherit the throne in Kowloon. The situation has not yet stabilized, and the rise and fall of the company has not yet been determined, let alone the expansion of the family business.Besides, if it really happens like that, there will only be one or two professionals needed, and it will be difficult every step of the way.So, let’s take it one step at a time.

Xue Hong knew that only the widow Qiao and the others knew what color was most suitable for the most expensive Shu embroidery, so after briefly talking about the color-matching skills, she confidently handed over the dyeing powder to them, and she went back home to ask her father and elder brother. Said this matter.

Xue Pan was very happy when he found out. He put his hands on his hands and laughed and said, "That's great. Hong'er, you don't know that when we first started this embroidery workshop, we were often made things difficult by this guy Lao Hu, which led to us Zhimeifang has almost failed to deliver the goods within the specified time several times. Those are all customized goods. If there is a slight mistake, our Zhimeifang will lose a large number of regular customers who have a lot of money. It is really too much. It’s dangerous.”

"Old Hu? Who is it? I just vaguely heard Aunt Qiao talking about the delay in dyeing cloth on Zhuangzi, but I didn't ask carefully."

"Isn't it Hu Yitian who is the best at dyeing cloth in the capital? This guy's cloth dyeing skills are among the best in the capital. Even our mermaid-colored yarn is made by him. It's just a pity that this guy is not a good man. If you dye the colors that are in short supply, the price will be set at a low price. If you don’t pay more, he will not deliver the goods. To be restrained by him, for this matter, all the people in our family who are only in charge of dyeing cloth do not complain."

Xue Hong snorted coldly: "It is good for a person to have craftsmanship, but it is not a good thing to be so arrogant. He is conscious that no one can surpass him in dyeing, and he is afraid that there are people behind him to support him Only in this way can we become presumptuous in the capital, but if we let our family research a new dyeing method, then there will be a good show."

Hearing this, Xue Pan smiled and said, "Hey, that's amazing. How do you know there's someone behind him? This old Hu, he wasn't originally called Hu Yitian. Back then, Brother Jiu heard that there was a man who was good at dyeing cloth in the capital. I don't know why I became curious, the honorable elder brother came to ask for a prescription, promised money and a title, but this old Hu refused to reveal a word, and insisted that the things in the dye vat were random Adding it in really didn’t give Brother Nine any face. Later everyone thought that Brother Nine’s character would definitely make him angry at this person. Who would have thought that Brother Nine not only failed to punish Lao Hu, but also became a close friend with him? My friend, Lao Hu also got the backing of Brother Nine, and became more and more arrogant. This is how Hu Yitian's name was called."
