Chapter 179 Aunt is really hard-working
Yan Anqing saw him sit down, then looked at Miao Jiu who was standing beside him and said, "From tomorrow on, you are not allowed to take Juanjuan away."
"Hey! You old man, I asked you to teach, but why do you care where I take my daughter?" Miao Jiu was the first one to be dissatisfied.
"Xiaojiu." Si Ning just said two words softly.
"Okay, okay, I won't take her out. I'll wait until she finishes her studies before taking her out, okay?" Miao Jiu looked displeased.
Yan Anqing looked at Siming and said, "If you take Juanjuan out again, I will take all the children home with me."
"You dare." Miao Jiu slammed the table and stood up.
"Sit down." Si Ning's tone was a little unhappy.
Miao Jiu looked at Si Ning with a wronged expression: "A Ning, look at what he said. How about I find someone else to teach Juanjuan?"
"Shut up right there. If you say anything more, go back to your Miao family." Si Ning looked at Yan Anqing apologetically, "Old Yan, leave him alone."
Yan Anqing was also troubled by this person. He was afraid that Si Ning was the only one in the world who could subdue him, otherwise he would probably break the sky of Beiyang City.
Si Jinchen hid aside and watched: "Aunt is so hard-working. She raised a son before her brother was even born."
Hu Zi felt like crying when he heard this. How could he bear to hear this?
Why is he coming here if he has nothing to do?
Siming glanced at Miao Jiu and said, "I won't take Juanjuan out again. I have to go out of the city soon."
"You want to go out?" Miao Jiu turned around and looked at him seriously.
"Well, let's talk about this later." Siming didn't plan to discuss it now.
"In that case, I'll go back. Let Achen help Juanjuan make up for the lessons she missed in the past two days." Yan Anqing said as he stood up and prepared to leave.
"I'll ask someone to take you there." Siming stood up and walked him out of the living room.
Yan Anqing paused in front of the door and said, "I've sent the message for you. It's still unknown whether they will come. The preparations on your side will not be completed in a day or two."
"I can't help with anything else. I can only teach these children everything I've learned in my life."
After he said that, he got on the rickshaw at the door and did not let Siming drive him back.
Siming returned to the hall: "Miao Jiu, let's go to the study and talk."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Madam Si and said, "Mom, if Liu Cheng'an comes, ask him to come to the study to find me."
Miao Jiu raised his eyebrows and followed him up to the study on the second floor.
Siming sat on the sofa and looked at Miao Jiu who was lazily sitting in front of him: "I want to build an arsenal."
Miao Jiu paused as he took out his cigar. He put away the cynicism on his face and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Siming leaned back on the sofa.
"That's interesting." Miao Jiu looked at him with a cigar in his mouth.
Siming looked at the cigar in his mouth and said, "My sister is pregnant now. Are you still smoking this?"
Miao Jiu reached out and took the cigar out of his mouth and put it out in the ashtray: "How many days will you be away?"
"It's hard to say. A group of pirates came to the city a while ago. We couldn't do anything about them in the winter, but now that the ice has thawed, we have to deal with them."
"Also, I made a deal with several other warlords. Tian will tell you the details. After those things are shipped, you have to help me keep an eye on them."
Siming said this and looked at Miao Jiu.
"What is it?" Miao Jiu looked at him strangely.
"As for the materials for the arsenal, we should stockpile as much as we can now while they haven't reacted. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get them later."
"During the time I'm away, please take care of Beiyang City and my home." Si Ming looked at him seriously.
Miao Jiu resumed his nonchalant attitude: "I'm not used to you speaking so seriously."
"I want to join the Arsenal too. I'll send you the money later. Don't mind if it's dirty."
Siming raised the corner of his lips: "Who would complain about having too much money at this time?"
"That's good. You are Ning's family. I don't want to see her sad, so I don't care how much blood is on my hands."
Miao Jiu stood up and straightened his clothes after saying this: "The person you are waiting for is here."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the study, just in time to see Liu Cheng'an walking over.
"Master Jiu." Liu Cheng'an looked at him and bowed.
"Go in, he's waiting for you inside." After saying that, Miao Jiu walked downstairs.
Liu Chengan knocked on the study door: "General."
"Come in!" Siming looked at the paper in his hand, which was covered with spots.
"Do you want to close the door?" Liu Cheng'an asked after coming in.
"No need, just keep it open!" Siming motioned him to sit down before talking.
Liu Cheng'an sat on the sofa opposite him and saw the two pieces of paper in his hand: "General, what is this?"
Siming handed him the paper in his hand and asked: "Can your textile factory produce fabric of this color?"
Liu Cheng'an took the paper and saw the spots on it. It could be said that there was no blank space at all. The main colors were green and earth tones, but the colors inside were deep and light.
The shape wasn't very standard either, and he wasn't sure what to do with the fabric.
"Overseer, we have never made this kind of fabric before, so it may take some time."
He thought about it and said, "I also want to ask, are there any requirements for the material of these fabrics?"
"Wear-resistant, breathable, waterproof, flame-retardant, easy to move in, and preferably without any friction noise." Siming repeated his requirements.
Liu Cheng'an quickly searched for suitable fabric in his mind, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable fabric.
Cotton cloth is breathable and easy to dye, but it has poor wear resistance and requires multiple starching and thickening processes, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
Linen is strong and wear-resistant, but it is not very comfortable unless it is mixed with other fabrics.
Khaki is a single color and needs to be artificially improved to achieve the effect on paper.
Canvas is too stiff and heavy, so it is not suitable unless it is used to make knee pads or backpacks.
Other silks and woolens are even less suitable.
This is a difficult matter. The key is that we don’t know what the governor intends to do with it.
"Overseer, may I ask what this cloth is used for?"
"Training suit. I don't want others to know what this thing is used for." Siming didn't intend to hide it from him.
Liu Chengan: "If that's the case, you can use khaki, and canvas for the knee pads. Khaki needs to be processed later, and its color is relatively simple."
"See if you can do it first. If not, we can think of other ways." Si Ming didn't expect to succeed in one go.
It would be beneficial for them to make these clothes, whether in the desert or the jungle. It would be best if they could make them, but if they can't, they can only think of other ways.
He thought of the straw behind Lei Ming, picked up a pen and drew casually on the blank paper.
Liu Cheng'an looked over and it looked like a piece of clothing, but it also seemed to be covered with grass.
