Chapter 114 The pursuit of cotton textile technology
It's just that it's a bit awkward to eat food in your hand, whether to take it out or not.
When Liu Zheng was struggling, he saw Li Heng walking straight into the shop, his pace seemed to be very fast.
He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the freight team with doubts. Nothing happened, right?
In the shop, Shen You looked at the visitor questioningly.
Li Heng looked at the familiar courtyard, his thoughts suddenly fluctuated. He thought about business and calmed down again,
"Miss Shen, I've seen the cotton products you shipped here, and they all said that the manufacturing technology is exquisite, so I came here today to ask, do you have better cotton textile technology here?"
Yes, there are, but it will take some effort to adapt to ancient looms and production levels.
She didn't know much about weaving herself.
"I can try to find it for you, but I can't guarantee it. I won't pick up the items for exchange until I find them."
"Okay." Li Heng nodded with a smile.
Daqi cotton is expensive. In addition to the lack of cotton cultivation, there is also poor cotton spinning technology, which makes people unable to afford it.
If we can solve this problem, we may be able to change the current situation.
It can't be done. From now on, Daqi can only rely on clothing from the Western Regions to keep out the cold. Even if cotton products are inferior, they are still a viable option.
"You're here, do you want to try this dessert?" Shen You pointed at the few pieces of cake left on the table.
Li Heng happily opened a box of soy milk cake.
"The food here is much better than that in Daqi."
There was a hint of loneliness in his sigh.
"You can also make simple cakes, but they're not so elaborate." Shen You took out the tablet and found the home version tutorial.
If you have milk, you can make butter, and if you have butter, you can make animal butter.
Cake embryos can also be steamed, but they are not as delicious as those made in an oven, and it is more labor-intensive without a whisk.
Li Heng was surprised that something that seemed dauntingly complicated actually required such simple ingredients.
"If a girl opens a pastry shop in Daqi and sells cakes like this, the business must be very good."
"I don't know how to make cakes." Shen You shook his head, "I bought this."
There is an oven in the kitchen, but since buying it, she has only baked yams once.
"If you can make it, you can let Liu Zheng open another shop." Shen You suddenly thought.
Fighting for the throne requires money to manage things up and down. Only when Daqi's partners develop well can they better bring treasures to trade with her.
Li Heng nodded, thinking it was feasible.
When he looked at the expression on Shen You's face, he thought for a moment and considered his words,
"Miss Shen, do you know my Imperial Master of Daqi?"
Shen You paused, smiled and said two words, "We know you."
The two words "floating" made Li Heng's expression freeze for a moment, and he almost blurted out and asked what the relationship between the two was.
But when I calm down and think about it, I don’t seem to have the position to ask.
Miss Shen had already rejected him before.
As the special envoy to Yunzhou, Li Heng was able to force the other party to conceal the existence of the shop.
Today's Western Region goods are not completely unprepared.
But he had to admit that things could go so smoothly only if that person took over.
If the current national master is really the one who defeated the foreigners back then, his current appearance may not be that of a mortal.
Does Miss Shen know about this?
Or rather, the Imperial Master is just an ordinary customer of this shop.
If so, it would be best.
When Li Heng walked out of the shop, his eyebrows were still slightly furrowed.
Liu Zheng stood aside with his hands folded and called softly, saying cautiously, "Your Highness, all the goods have been shipped out." Li Heng responded, turned around and got into the carriage.
Liu was watching from behind, scratching his head, what's going on? His Highness looked even worse than when he came to the shop with the Crown Princess's seal.
He sighed and turned to leave.
When I got home, I struggled with the two Xue Mei Niang for a long time before reluctantly giving one to Liu Yunyan.
His heart was bleeding and he couldn't bear to eat it.
When he was given away, his face was filled with pain.
"Brother, I admit that I spoke a bit loudly to you before." Liu Yunyan said seriously,
"This cake is so delicious! Where did you buy it from? And the fried chicken last time, the one made by the chef in the house was not that delicious.
Can you take me to buy some tomorrow? ”
Liu Yunyan calculated how much he could buy with the money he had. This cake must be very expensive.
"." Liu Zheng looked at her eager eyes, sweating profusely,
"What, these are pastries from the Western Regions. Shops outside don't sell them. They can give me some tomorrow."
"Is it given by the businessman from the Western Regions who is doing business with you?"
Liu Yunyan was not someone who could be deceived with just a few words. He guessed that he was a businessman from the Western Regions and became even more interested.
"You can take me to take a look, okay? I have been at the border for so many years, and I have seen foreign merchants, but I have never seen these things you brought back.
Your lamp that doesn't require candles is also good. If you bring it to the military camp, it will definitely brighten the room at night. ”
Liu Zheng said solemnly, "I can't make the decision on this matter, so don't go into it too deeply."
"Also! Don't even think about trying to use my lamp!" He slapped the table again, "The beads on the abacus fell off my face, I only have that one!"
He usually wipes it himself and doesn't let the boy touch it for fear of damaging it.
How precious is a lamp that can be turned on just by the sun!
Liu Yunyan knew that the matter was not trivial, so he never mentioned taking him with him again,
"Then tell me about things from the Western Regions."
She was really interested, especially the lamp she had coveted for a long time. She still couldn't figure out how the glass lit up.
Liu Zheng thought for a while, thinking that they were the only two people in the Liu family's generation, and the girl was someone he could trust.
In the future, the sale and purchase of goods from the Western Region might still require more manpower, so I picked out some things I could tell her.
Liu Yunyan is a smart man, and he immediately grasped the key point, "A businessman from the Western Regions is a girl?!"
"Yes, she is still a young and beautiful girl." Liu Zheng lowered his voice, "Don't say anything outside, otherwise it will cause trouble for our family."
"I understand." Liu Yunyan sighed softly as he spoke, with a bit of yearning in his eyes.
I don’t know what kind of place the ‘Western Region’ is.
That girl can do her own business and distribute goods. There don't seem to be that many rules restricting women there.
And even though she could go to the battlefield, she was still restricted because of her status as a woman.
Now the royal family is considering her marriage, but she is unwilling and does not like the capital.
Liu Zheng knew what she was worried about, "Don't worry, my grandmother and I will try our best to deal with you, and we will never let you marry King Cheng as a concubine."
On the second day, ‘Youjian Shop’ launched something new.
Just like before, first donate some to the palace and then sell them in the shop.
The first dignitaries to buy fleece socks said they had bought a treasure.
The Western Footwear doesn’t require straps to tighten, it’s not bulky, and it’s so comfortable!
In just half a day, hundreds of pairs of stock were sold out.
Seeing the sold out sign hanging outside the shop, the people behind them sighed helplessly and chopped off their feet.
It would be better if you come and buy it earlier!
