Chapter 177 Spinning and Weaving
Su Xueyi moved the things down and moved them into the house.
Shen Yueyao explained: "These are the things that my parents and my third sister-in-law brought me. These are the vermicelli noodles, these are the bacon that my mother pickled, and these are..."
There were a lot of things given by her parents, and Shen Yueyao didn't want to take so many things, but her parents' kindness forced her to take them.
Originally, her parents wanted her to bring the leeks as well.
But Shen Yueyao planted leeks in her space and in the yard.
Now that it has grown, it is time to eat it.
She could feel the thoughtfulness of her parents when they gave her things.
Even though she said she didn't want to take it, her parents still put it on the ox cart for her.
Su Xueyi said gently, "I should also go see my parents and express my gratitude."
There is so much to be thankful for.
The most important thing is to thank them for the existence of Yao Niang.
Thank them for giving Yao Niang to him.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yueyao felt a little guilty. She whispered, "I didn't tell you this time. Next time, let's go see my parents together."
"I was thinking that after you finish your exams, we could go visit your parents together, or ask them to come over."
Su Xueyi's eyes were gentle, and she said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to Yao Niang."
It seems that Su Xueyi is always good-tempered in front of Shen Yueyao.
After putting everything away, the family sat at the table and ate together.
Shen Yueyao told Su Xueyi about the family affairs and her fourth brother's affairs.
Su Xueyi listened carefully, knowing that every little thing that happened when Yao Niang went to Xinghua Village made him feel like he was involved.
Hearing the word "Xu family", Su Xueyi's expression became serious and she asked, "The Xu family who live in the cloth shop in the county?"
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Yes, it's this Xu family who runs a cloth shop. They also want my lipstick secret recipe. They really dare to tell me."
Thinking of the Xu family's attitude, a sharp cold light flashed across Shen Yueyao's eyes.
At that time, in front of Fourth Brother, she didn't say much.
The main reason is that I don’t want my fourth brother to blame himself and I don’t want him to think too much.
But this Xu family is going too far.
In front of Su Xueyi, Shen Yueyao can say anything.
Su Xueyi saw that Shen Yueyao was unhappy, and a surge of anger surged in her heart.
Anyone who wants to get Yao Niang's secret recipe is not allowed to do so.
Su Xueyi thought for a moment and said, "I seem to remember hearing before that the Xu family's cloth shop wasn't as prosperous as it is now. I heard that they used some tricks to squeeze out another cloth shop, which is how the Xu family's cloth shop became so large."
Shen Yueyao's expression changed and she said, "You even know about the Xu family. Weren't you just studying before?"
Su Xueyi explained with a smile, "Some classmates like to chat about the goings-on in the city, and I'll listen to some of them. Also, when I'm walking down the street and someone's talking about something, I'll occasionally overhear some of it."
In fact, Su Xueyi is good at observing and analyzing things.
Because he knew that he could get some useful information through some words.
Moreover, he is good at linking some messages together to get the information he wants.
Shen Yueyao probably understood how powerful Su Xueyi was, and she admired him in her heart. He had such a brilliant mind.
If possible, you can build a news network.
Because Su Xueyi knows best how to obtain more and more important information.
Shen Yueyao said, "Since the Xu family used some tricks to make the cloth shop business what it is now, it means that they used some shady means. Just look at how they tried to get my lipstick secret recipe. The Xu family's methods must be shady."
"I just don't know which cloth shop they're targeting?"
Su Xueyi had a photographic memory. After a brief thought, she came up with a surname and said, "I heard it's the Ning family."
"Is the Ning family also in the county town?"
Su Xueyi shook her head and said, "I used to live in the county town, but later the Ning family moved away. I don't know where they moved to."
Shen Yueyao said: "It's okay, you can always find out the news by asking people."
When Su Xueyi heard this, her expression changed and she asked, "Yao Niang, do you want to know where the Ning family is?"
Shen Yueyao said: "The Xu family dared to try to get my lipstick secret recipe like that, so I naturally have to be on guard. As the saying goes, you must be careful to keep your people in mind."
"If the Xu family doesn't follow the rules, then I won't follow the rules either. If the Ning family has no problems, I can cooperate with them."
"I'm thinking of improving the spinning and weaving machines to greatly increase weaving efficiency. The resulting fabrics, if designed and made into beautiful garments, would be great. Maybe I could even hold a fashion show..."
Shen Yueyao has a lot of ideas about clothing designs in her mind.
In this era, people mostly have their clothes custom-made. People rarely buy ready-made clothes and are used to having them custom-made.
Ordinary families could not afford custom-made clothes, so they bought cheap cloth and made their own clothes at home.
Shen Yueyao thought that the clothing store model of the technological era could be moved to this era.
Design clothes of different styles and make clothes of different sizes.
In this way, many people can go directly to clothing stores to buy clothes without having to order them or make them themselves.
She could create a clothing brand.
Thinking of this, Shen Yueyao's eyes sparkled.
Obviously she should be very tired after a busy day, but when she thought about this, Shen Yueyao was filled with excitement.
Seeing a smile on Shen Yueyao's face, Su Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm really worried that her mood will be affected by the Xu family.
It was just that Su Xueyi had just listened to Shen Yueyao's words, and her heart was deeply touched. She said, "Yao Niang, can the spinning machine and loom really be improved?"
Su Xueyi didn't even dare to think about how to improve it or how to increase efficiency.
In the past, when there was no general amnesty, when they were required to work in labor camps, men did physical labor and women spun and wove, and those who knew how to embroider also did embroidery.
For a period of time, my mother worked hard every day spinning and weaving.
He probably knew what spinning and weaving were like.
So many people are busy from morning till night every day, but they can't spin much thread.
If it could really be improved, he believed that in the same amount of time, more thread could be spun and more cloth could be woven.
Su Xueyi thought of those hard-working people and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi's expression and nodded seriously, "Yes, as long as it is improved, the efficiency can be tripled or quadrupled."
She knew that the cost of spinning and weaving was too high, so some cloth was also expensive to sell, so some people in the entire Great Yan Dynasty could not afford to wear clothes.
Some people will freeze to death even if they wear thin blankets in winter.
If efficiency and output are high, prices can be compressed down and ordinary people can afford cloth and clothes.
But I was thinking about the hot pot restaurant before, but now I’m only thinking about these. I feel like there are too many ideas in my mind, and I can’t handle them all at once.
Su Xueyi's eyes became fiery and excited.
"Yao Niang is very powerful."
Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, “No, it’s because you can learn a lot in that era.”
