Chapter 330 Lingnan Brocade Should Have Lingnan Characteristics

"Old sister!" Old Mrs. Su came early in the morning holding a bowl.

"Mother-in-law, what's the matter so early?" Gao was busy in the kitchen.

"Here, some good stuff!" The old lady handed over the bowl mysteriously.

Gao took it with a suspicious look on her face, and opened it to reveal a bowl of fragrant, dark fried noodles. "Fried noodles?"

"These fried noodles are all good stuff!" said the old lady proudly.

"Walnuts, black sesame seeds, glutinous rice, soybeans, mung beans, mixed with boiling water and brown sugar, it's so fragrant! Come and try it!"

Seeing the old lady's eager look of begging for praise, Gao was amused and said, "Okay, I'll try it!"

I scooped two spoonfuls, added some brown sugar, and mixed it with boiling water. The aroma was simply amazing!

Take a sip and you will find it smooth and mellow, sweet but not greasy, filling your mouth with fragrance.

"How is it?" the old lady asked anxiously.

"Hmm, mellow and smooth!" Gao said pertinently after tasting it.

"It's delicious! When the walnuts are ripe in the fall, pick some and make more. Have a bowl of it in the morning and it will make you feel comfortable.

If you feel hungry at night, add another bowl and you will definitely sleep well till dawn." The old lady happily shared it with her mother-in-law.

"Was it Ah Ying who did it?" Gao was certain.

"Who else could it be but her? This girl has so many ideas. She stays up all night just to get food!"

The old lady spoke with disdain, but her eyes showed unconcealable pride.

After showing off, the old lady went home happily.

"Hiss! What is that?" Old man Yang sniffed the air and asked his wife.

After a walk around the fields, I went home for breakfast. As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a special sweet smell, which made my already hungry stomach even hungrier.

"Good stuff!" Gao gave her husband a bowl of it and said, "Try it!"

Old man Yang stirred it and smelled the aroma of walnuts and sesame seeds, and maybe soybeans?

"Who sent it?" There was no such thing at home yesterday.

"Mother-in-law! Aying stayed up late last night to make this. You thought it was delicious, so you sent some to me early in the morning!" Gao said with a smile.

This mother-in-law is very interesting. I like to chat with her when I have nothing to do. After a long time, we keep talking about the same old things over and over again.

Gao was very well-mannered. She listened to her chatter quietly, and occasionally nodded in agreement.

The old lady had a great time chatting and went home reluctantly. Now she is in very good spirits!

"Mm, this stuff is good!" Old Man Yang thought the black soup was very appetizing, "Let's make some at home!"

"The walnuts are still on the mountain, so we have to wait until they are ripe!" Gao didn't expect that her husband also liked this porridge.

"Oh! How could I have imagined this day before the Su family came?" Old man Yang put down his spoon.

Year after year they guarded the barren land, hoping for good weather and a good harvest. After paying taxes, they lived on the surplus grain.

He also had to go into the mountains to hunt frequently, but ended up losing not only his wife but also his soldiers and many young and strong men.

Now I don’t have to worry about food or clothing, I make endless money, and I can eat delicious food that I never had in the first half of my life!

Soon the walnut and black sesame paste spread throughout the village, and everyone wanted to know how it was made.

The village elders are all in their early sixties, with bad teeth and tasteless mouths, so the fragrant porridge is the most suitable for them.

"This is the recipe and preparation method. You can adjust the proportions according to your personal preferences!" Su Ying was asked so many questions that she wrote a copy and handed it to Old Man Yang.

Not to mention the village elders, even Fulu and Fuxi thought it was delicious and specifically asked for the recipe and preparation method.

While the men in the village were busy harvesting in the fields, a group of children in the Su family's silkworm room concentrated and held their breath, watching the colorful silkworms crawling around on the straw mountain to find a place to stay.

"Oh, sir, look, it's spinning silk!" Niu Xiaobao exclaimed.

A red-footed silkworm shook its head and spit out a thin red silk thread, which was crystal clear and shiny.

"Wow!" The children all exclaimed.

Oh my god, it’s so magical, I can really spit out colored threads after eating paint!

"Sir, we are also spitting out yellow silk!" "Sir, we are spitting out purple silk!" People in the other rooms were cheering.

Fulu and Fuxi stared blankly. This was real, real! They had witnessed a great, magical moment!

I used to be skeptical, but now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I’m shocked!

"Aying! Aying!" Madam Zheng and the other women came running over, panting. "She's spitting out silk! It's really, really colorful!"

"It's done, it's done!" Several people hugged Su Ying and shouted.

"Well, congratulations, sisters! You are so awesome!" Su Ying smiled as she watched everyone celebrating happily.

"Thank you, Aying! Woohoo..." After the women were happy, they started crying excitedly.

With this colored silk technology, generations can make a living with this skill! With a skill, you can gain a foothold in this world.

"Sisters, there are more important things to do later!" Su Ying said slowly after everyone gradually calmed down.

"After the cocoons are fully formed and aired for a few days, the subsequent reeling and weaving are very important, so don't take it lightly!

This will be the first batch of our Lingnan brocade products. Not only are they natural colored silks, but they are also tough and lustrous!

Every piece of brocade woven is unique and irreplaceable! All of this must be achieved through your hands!"

"Don't worry, Aying, we will definitely make the best colorful silk brocade!" the women said in unison.

The women were in a hurry, walking with their heads held high and chests puffed out.

The children in the village school have been following and learning every step of the process over the past few days.

Drying and sorting colors.

Boys and girls alike learned how to reel silk and the secret of producing tough, shiny, and colorful silk.

Fulu and Fuxi both tinkered with it for a while and experienced the joy of labor.

When Diexiu and her companions from Jinfengzhai finished their busy farming work and came back, it was already the weaving stage. They regretted having missed the cocoon-making and silk reeling processes.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Su Ying comforted the girls of Jinfeng Village.

"If you didn't learn it this time, you can learn it next season. Anyway, we don't have enough silk reeling machines and textile machines. I'll give them to your Golden Wind Village when the next batch arrives."

After hearing this, Diexiu and the others felt much better.

"Sister, can you weave a few pieces of this brocade with our Li people's colors and designs?" Diexiu felt a strong urge when she looked at the colorful silk threads.

It’s so beautiful! If it were woven, it would definitely be more beautiful than embroidered with colorful threads on cloth!

Su Ying was shocked by this idea. Yes, brocade can be woven into various patterns of the Han people, so why can't it be woven into patterns of the Li people?

Such colorful silk is truly natural and a masterpiece of exquisite craftsmanship!

Lingnan Brocade, Lingnan Brocade, it should have Lingnan characteristics!

It is not only a characteristic of Lingnan, but also a symbol of national unity!

"Diexiu! You have a great idea! You can come up with a few patterns first, and then everyone can match the colors together and give it a try!" Su Ying praised.

So Su Ying and Die Xiu and several other girls from Jinfeng Village got together and drew a lot of patterns with various color combinations.

Finally, it was decided to combine Chinese and Li elements to weave four brocades containing Li elements, namely "Fu", "Lu", "Shou" and "Xi", with double grids and square grids as the base patterns.

Simple, ethnic, low-key and luxurious.

Uh, Su Ying looked at these brocade patterns and felt that it would be most appropriate for the Feng family to present them!
