But the next moment Jiang Muyu took his hand away from Xiao Xiao's neck, because if he treated Xiao Xiao like this, he would be the first one who couldn't spare him.Sighing sadly, Jiang Muyu asked in a low voice: "What should I do to make you accept me?"

Xiao Xiao naturally didn't respond, because he had already fallen into a deep sleep.Jiang Muyu looked at Xiao Xiao for a while, and then quietly left like when he came.He didn't notice that the person behind him was looking at his back when he left, and he didn't know the clenched fists of that person.

Xiao Xiao was awake from the beginning.

The skills of pretending to be asleep, which she has practiced from playing with her mobile phone under the covers since she was a child, are so realistic that Jiang Muyu didn't realize that Xiao Xiao wasn't asleep at all.Xiao Xiao has been in the dilemma of whether to accept it after listening to the repeated bombings of Master Jiang and Liu Kaize during the day, and was still thinking about this question before going to sleep.But he couldn't fall asleep even when he was lying in bed, so when Xiao Xiao was worrying that he might not be able to get up tomorrow, he suddenly heard the knock of the door latch.

Xiao Xiao was also attacked at night before, so she stared vigilantly at the door for an instant, trying to see who came through the thick darkness.Putting her hand quietly on the dagger under the pillow, Xiao Xiao quickly decided to give the thief a knife when he was unaware.Squinting her eyes, she saw a vague black figure approaching the bed, and just as Xiao Xiao was about to make a move, she heard a familiar voice.

"How can I accept it?" Xiao Xiao watched Jiang Muyu leave, and whispered in confusion, "I want to know too."

After not sleeping all night, Xiao Xiao didn't close her eyes in a daze until it was dawn.But he was woken up again after not sleeping for an hour, because he had agreed with Mr. Jiang that he would go to the glass workshop in the morning to decide the style of the new mold.Struggling to get out of bed with her heavy body, Xiao Xiao didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she hurried to the glass workshop.

"Why are you here now?" Mr. Jiang's words didn't mean to blame, but he was concerned, "Your complexion is too bad, what happened last night?"

Xiao Xiao didn't dare to say that she knew about Jiang Muyu's sneaking into the room, so she could only shake her head and say that she didn't sleep well.

"Although the weather is getting warmer, it's still very cold at night in Xiangcheng," Master Jiang said empathetically, "I also feel terribly cold, even if a girl with a warm bed still sleeps, her hands and feet are cold .”

The temperature difference between day and night in Xiangcheng is huge, Xiao Xiao said that she didn't sleep well because of the cold, but Master Jiang didn't suspect him.Xiao Xiao, the girl who warmed the bed, was taken aback when he heard him say that, and then touched her nose guiltily after realizing that she had lost her mind.In order to hide her embarrassment, Xiao Xiao quickly changed the subject and asked if Master Jiang had come up with any good-looking styles.

"It's not difficult to think of a good-looking style, but the difficulty is that the craftsmen can't make it." Master Jiang invited the pillar over, and then asked him to explain it to Xiao Xiao, "That's it, so the surface you think is still uneven The patterned ones, they really can’t.”

Glass is different from porcelain. Painting and writing can be done on porcelain, but glass bottles cannot.So what Xiao Xiao wanted was to let the glass bottle body directly present the pattern like in modern times, but it is rare to be able to fire glass out of ancient craftsmanship, and Xiao Xiao's plan could not do it at all.So Xiao Xiao had no choice but to choose a few beautiful ones with Master Jiang from Zhuzi's proposals, and then the two of them went to the woolen workshop for a walk.

"The wool has been dried and combed," the steward came to welcome the two, and then said beamingly, "I'm going to invite the two masters!"

This is probably the earliest woolen yarn in the world, so Xiao Xiao and Master Jiang must go and have a look.The person in charge of kneading the wool is a female worker who Xiao Xiao thinks has the most skillful hands. When Xiao Xiao and others went, there were already many people around her, chirping and discussing whether the wool was better or harder to knead than hemp rope.The other female worker was holding a spindle, surrounded by a circle of people, but they were all holding their breath, because this female worker already had something like wool in her hand.

Modern wool processing mainly has these steps, the first is impurity removal.

Spinning is a science that studies the processing of short textile fibers into yarns. Yarns are generally made of many short fibers of different lengths by splicing, and long continuous monofilaments are twisted. combined.In the spinning process, it is first necessary to remove impurities, that is, to carry out preliminary processing of raw materials, also known as the preparation of spinning raw materials.For wool, removing impurities is the first step that Xiao Xiao asked the workers to do these days, removing the grease and impurities from the oily wool cut from the sheep.The wool on the sheep in the cartoon is pure and flawless, but in fact the wool on these animals who don’t like to bathe is extremely dirty, just like the hair of a person who hasn’t washed in a year, greasy and curled up in strands drooping on the sheep.Therefore, the first step to make wool into wool is to wash the wool, and wash the dust and oil on the wool with hot water to make it "white".

Of course, there is actually a need to remove the grease, just the soda ash such as baking soda that is needed. Xiao Xiao knows that this thing was introduced to China from the West after World War I, so she doesn't expect too much.The wool washed with hot water is naturally much whiter than before, so it is time to proceed to the next step of natural air drying.After air-drying, pick out the grass clippings mixed inside, and the step of removing impurities is roughly completed, and the hair can be thinned.

Thinning is one way of loosening.To process the disorderly and closely connected fibers in the vertical direction into a smooth yarn with certain requirements, it is necessary to change the blocky fibers into a single fiber state, remove the horizontal connection of the fiber raw materials, and establish a firm end-to-end connection. vertical linkage.The former is called the loosening of fibers, and the latter is called the collection of fibers.The washed wool is in lumps, so at this time, it needs to be combed with something similar to a nail comb, and it becomes a thin and light texture like a gauze.At this time, the tiny impurities that were not cleaned before will also be separated from the wool due to this step, and the wool will become as white and flawless as imagined, and can be spun.

This step is what the women workers have to do, spinning the wool into yarn.The first is drafting. The carded sliver is stretched and thinned to gradually reach the predetermined thickness.However, drafting will cause unevenness in short segments of the yarn, so it is necessary to configure reasonable drafting devices and process parameters, that is, spindles or spinning wheels.The female workers twist while drafting. Twisting is to twist the strands around their own axis, so that the fibers parallel to the axis of the strands are helical, thereby generating radial pressure to fix the longitudinal connection between the fibers.Finally, they wound these circles on the spindle, and the wool that Xiao Xiao needed was obtained.

"That's it." Xiao Xiao looked at the female worker with a spindle in surprise, and several rounds of thin wool had already been wound on her spindle, "I'll teach you how to knit sweaters after the wool comes out."

The female workers who are staying now have signed a non-disclosure agreement, and they are not allowed to go home this year, so Xiao Xiao is not afraid that the method of knitting sweaters will be leaked.Besides, even if it leaked out, they still have to get the wool first, right?You must know that wool is only cut twice a year, which means that they want to get a large amount of wool to make sweaters, at least half a year later.Xiao Xiao never thought about monopolizing, so half a year is enough to make them a lot of money.As for the future profits, Xiao Xiao said that as long as the No.1 is sold, customers will not be able to steal it.In the future, he can dye wool to make colored ones, and he can use wool to weave hats, socks and gloves. As long as this modern mind is present, it is not a problem at all to find N kinds of uses for wool.

Customers will only remember Jiang's Wool Workshop the way modern people remember Heng Yuanxiang, and they will be the first to consider them whenever they want to buy woolen products...

Xiao Xiao excitedly stared at the coils of wool and imagined how chic he would be after becoming the richest man, but Master Jiang who was at the side suddenly interrupted his reverie and took Xiao Xiao to a place far away from the crowd.

"Can the hair of other animals do the same?" Mr. Jiang's eyes glistened. At first he thought that the wool was a floc obtained by layering layers of silk like silk floss, but he suddenly discovered that the wool was really similar to the wool. It's like rubbing hemp rope, but it's too soft. "For example, rabbit fur, fox fur..."

Xiao Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, thinking that this person is indeed the richest man in Ancheng.People often say that the rich don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but Mr. Jiang may be in the grain business, so he may know more about the things in the field than the peasants, and he is also very clear about the characteristics of these various raw materials.From the woolen body, Master Jiang instantly thought of the rabbit and fox that also had fluff, and after seeing Xiao Xiao's affirmation, he decided to buy rabbit and fox furs vigorously.

"However, rabbit and fox fur is much more difficult to handle than wool, after all, they are too short," Xiao Xiao thought about various modern rabbit fleece vests, "If you really want to create a side job or something, it's better to raise Ducks, tuck duck down into clothes to keep warm..."

Master Jiang opened his mouth wide when he heard that, they even had the idea of ​​using paper to make quilts and clothes to keep warm, but why didn't they think of using animal feathers!Anyway, Mr. is Mr., this thinking is really different from others.

"But it would be nice if there was an airtight material," Xiao Xiao was a little disappointed, because if you want down to keep warm, the clothes must be fluffy enough. wind."

"It would be great if we could find cotton as soon as possible, then we can wrap ourselves in thick cotton clothes and then cover them with warm quilts..."

Ever since Xiao Xiao suffered from the severe cold in Xiangcheng, he very much hoped to find a crop like cotton as soon as possible.It was the first time Master Jiang had heard of it, so he curiously asked Xiao Xiao what cotton is, and whether it can be spun into wool.
