Chapter 302 Wild Goose Feather Fan Cools the Bamboo Mat
After the meal, Zhao Zhen took out the ordinary feather fan sent by Wu Yong: "Two ladies, this is a new goose feather fan made in the workshop. In summer, You two can take one to cool off the heat."
The two of them each took one. Hu Sanniang fanned twice and said, "Mr., the wind created by this fan is too gentle. "
Cheng Wan'er smiled and said, "Sister, how can this goose feather fan be like a straw fan? It only needs to be waved gently to create a cool breeze."
Hu Sanniang said: "I'm impatient to fan like this slowly."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen took out the three-handled first-order [Goose Tail Feather Fan] and let Hu Sanniang try it. He said: "These three-handled [Goose Tail Feather Fan] are made of first-order wild goose tail feathers. It's a pity that the material is not available." There were only four handles made, and one of them was given to Wu Xuexue."
Hu Sanniang said, "It's really cool."
Cheng Wan'er took one. He tried the handle: "It is indeed much cooler."
Zhao Zhen said: "You two each take one handle. When you find such good feathers, you can also make one for Angelica dahurica and Cuilian. Yes. Now, a lot of mats made of cool bamboo have been made in the carpentry workshop. The lady asked people to bring them and spread them on the bed. Send me a mat."
After hearing this, Cheng Wan'er nodded in agreement and immediately ordered Zhao Ji to see it.
Hu Sanniang said: "My lord, I have the shortest time to get started. How can I get it first? I will just use an ordinary goose feather fan. If there are good feathers in the future, I will get another one."
With that said, Hu Sanniang put down the [Wild Goose Feather Fan] in her hand and said: "Guanren, I still need a deputy in the cavalry team. Maybe sister Hua Baoyan can take over?"
Zhao Zhen listened and said : "On the trip to Tai'an Mansion, I saw that she was not a person who would be content in the boudoir. It was just that Brother Hua Rong was too restrained. I have nothing to do here, but Brother Hua Rong may not be able to nod. But she wanted to come. The cavalry team? "
Hu Sanniang said: "My sister from the Hua family said it before when she came back and came to the village to practice with the team twice, and she mentioned it again yesterday. Although the younger sister from the Hua family is not as good as me in martial arts, her archery skills are top notch. She can shoot 78% out of 10 at once. Please go talk to the officials."
Zhao Zhen said: "I don't want my sister from the Hua family to learn General Hua's archery skills. Tomorrow morning, take the women's cavalry with you and go to Jingyang Town with me. General Hua explained, but he can’t guarantee that it will work.”
Hu Sanniang was naturally happy after hearing this. She put down the feather fan in her hand, went down the mountain to gather the horse team, and went to Nanda Camp for training.
Zhao Zhen had a conversation with Cheng Wan'er. Zhao Ji went to the carpenter's workshop and came back and reported: "My lord, Madam, the carpenter's workshop has woven hundreds of ordinary mats. Do you want to get them all?"< br>
Zhao Zhen said: "You have done so much? Let's go and see." After saying that, he took Cheng Wan'er to the carpenter's workshop.
When Zhao Zhen arrived, Tao Youda, the steward of the bamboo craftsmen, was in the workshop. Now more than 30 bamboo crafts apprentices have been recruited in the workshop. The canes are still soaking, and these bamboo craftsmen are weaving here. mat.
Including Tao Youda, a highly skilled bamboo craftsman, there are three people in total, and the rest are apprentices. Everyone is weaving mats on the ground.
When he met Zhao Zhen, Tao Youda stepped forward and said, "Official, all the prepared mats are in the warehouse. I will take out a few."
As he said that, he called four or five people in succession. Name of the apprentice, tell him to go to the warehouse and take out ten mats.
Zhao Zhen said: "I heard from Zhao Ji that hundreds of mats have been woven so far. How can it be so fast?" Tao Youdao said: "Master, this mat is difficult to say, easy to say. It's also easy. Starting from selecting bamboo, breaking it, stripping it, arranging it, weaving it, trimming it, returning it, and polishing it, you can just make a mat by ordinary weaving according to the warp and weft. These apprentices can weave one piece in one day. "
"If we want to weave patterns, these apprentices are not skilled enough. Only two old bamboo craftsmen, Zhang Maojin and Wang Ming, can do it. It takes three days to turn these into one. Most of the mats are ordinary mats woven by apprentices. With so many people, it is naturally faster. Only nine patterns have been woven, and three can be completed today."
While they were talking, five apprentices brought ten mats. When Zhao Zhen looked at them, the ten mats were different in appearance. Eight of them are the same as the mats being woven on the ground, and the other two are made of a pile of linked bamboo blocks.
Zhao Zhen was about to speak when Cheng Wan'er on the side said: "Manager Tao, did you say anything about this mat?"
Tao Youda heard this and quickly replied: "Madam, this bamboo mat is The carpenter cuts bamboo pieces of the same size and drills two rows of holes horizontally and vertically with a hand drill. After polishing, he mixes silk with beef tendon and twists them into thin ropes. It’s uncomfortable, they are all made according to the size of the bed, and only ten of them are made.”
“The rest are made of strips, the green ones are made of Qingmi, and the yellow ones are made of Huangmi. Weaving it, Qingmi is more pliable, so it’s better.”
As he said that, he asked people to unfold the bamboo mats and let Cheng Wan’er take a closer look.
Cheng Wan'er stepped forward to take a look, then turned to Zhao Zhen and said: "Mr. Guan, look at this, it's the medicinal ingredient Angelica dahurica. This one is just right to send to sister Angelica dahurica's room. This one shows two little tigers and a fox in the room. Playful and naive, put it in my room. Are there any other tricks?”
World Journal:
Cool bamboo mat (different kinds of coolness live in broken bamboo, expert craftsmen choose Qingmi weaving) Made of. )
Has a characteristic of its own material: coolness.
Tao Youdao: "There is also one in the shape of lotus flowers and mandarin ducks, and one in the shape of a mare's crotch. The others are all in the shape of happy characters, copper money patterns, and water ripples. The large surface is all green. , the pattern is woven by Huang Mi.”
Zhao Zhen said: "If you are interested, the three of you will each be rewarded with ten golden melon seeds. I see that these ordinary mats have clear textures, are fine and firm, and the apprentices will also be rewarded with a golden melon seed. In the future, we must learn more from the master and strive to be able to do it as soon as possible." Weaving textured mats”
The apprentices cheered.
Zhao Zhen continued: "Guan Tao, how many mats can we weave from these bamboos?"
Tao Youdao: "I have never calculated carefully, but three or five bamboos can weave one mat. Mat."
Zhao Zhen nodded, knowing something in his mind, and said: "In that case, while the rattan is still soaking, weave more four or five more mats. The single-person mats that are a foot wide are all made of yellow mi, and I want them to be used in the army.”
Tao Youda heard this and said: "The high officials are kind, and ordinary soldiers can enjoy such good things."
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "You don't have to be envious. After a while, we will be able to enjoy it." If there are many mats, they will be sold in the shop. You and other weavers can take one home."
Everyone was happy after hearing this.
