After listening to what Manager Chen said and Chen Buyi's report, Liu Feng already had an idea in his mind.
"That's fine, Boss Chen. We're doing business, so we'll just go with whoever supplies the goods. It doesn't have to be your Xiuyuange, right?"
"Besides, the fabrics of your Xiuyuan Pavilion are made of genuine materials, but you, Boss Chen, are not the only one in Youzhou doing this business."
As soon as Liu Feng said this, the people present instantly lost their composure and they all looked at Liu Feng.
What does the general mean? It is obvious that the cloth from Xiuyuan Pavilion is the best-selling one. If we do this, we will completely offend Boss Chen. How will we get the goods in the future?
Chen Buzhi was very puzzled, and so was Song Gaoyan. He wanted to see what methods this general, who was said to have such miraculous skills, had.
Boss Chen, who had not yet sat down, was even more surprised.
"Aren't you here to buy fabric?"
"Then why did you come to my place? Am I here to have fun?"
Liu Feng laughed.
His original purpose was not to come to Xiuyuan Pavilion to place an order. His main purpose was to see clearly what level the textile technology had reached at that time.
In other words, he was just visiting. The technology of that era was backward, and since she was planning to order several sets of weaving equipment and train the women in the village, a visit would provide a reference for her own production line.
When the time comes, we will make appropriate improvements based on the actual situation.
"If the fabrics of Xiuyuan Pavilion are really as durable as the rumors say."
"I don't mind paying a high price, but I'm afraid it's just a waste of reputation. After all, for so many years, the rumored materials used in the Embroidered Yuange are genuine, and no one has ever seen the details of the production."
"So, don't worry, Shopkeeper Chen. Those who don't take the goods are of no concern to me."
Shopkeeper Chen is a straightforward person and cannot stand such provocation from Liu Feng.
He immediately flew into a rage, cursing, "You're so arrogant! Do you really think my Xiuyuan Pavilion is just a name for nothing? Today, I'll open your eyes."
The attic in front of you stores samples produced by Yunjinfang, including silks, satins, cotton, linen and woolen fabrics.
"Look at this."
Shopkeeper Chen walked into the attic and directly picked up a piece of solid-colored plain-woven cotton cloth. The cotton thread was evenly distributed, the weaving was fine, and it felt very soft and comfortable.
In the eyes of Shopkeeper Chen, these things may already be very powerful.
This is very impressive under the current production structure of the Dali Dynasty, but Liu Feng thinks it is just that.
After all, he comes from a new era, in which the development of various industries has reached unprecedented heights.
The time and energy required to produce a piece of cloth now is very long, but in the new era, it can be done in just a short time.
In the new era, even things made by a family workshop are much better than those made by the most powerful workshop of this era.
What's more, these are ordinary cotton cloths without any patterns or embroidery.
In the new era, all kinds of patterns and designs can be made in one go.
"With this quality, it really doesn't catch my eye."
Liu Feng smiled and shook his head.
Shopkeeper Chen kept silent, put down the cotton cloth in his hand, and walked forward a few steps. This time he took out a piece of patterned cloth, which was much more comfortable than the previous one.
These patterns are very ordinary, just some simple designs, but they are arranged very reasonably. You can tell at a glance that they have been carefully designed and they look different.
However, in Liu Feng's eyes, this is not considered a high-end product.
"Shopkeeper Chen, this still won't work."
"It still doesn't work."
Liu Feng continued to shake his head.
At this moment, there was a clear hint of displeasure in Shopkeeper Chen's eyes.
This piece of cotton cloth is already of medium to upper quality in Xiuyuan Pavilion. If it is to be better, it can only be silk fabrics made of more precious materials.
"Bring me some silk." Shopkeeper Chen pointed at the gatekeeper and said.
The servant agreed and immediately went up to the second floor. The second floor was where they stored silk fabrics, and the quality here was much better than that on the first floor.
The servant was very fast and came out with a piece of silk in a moment. The silk had a very good luster and looked like a treasure from a distance. Although it was pure white, this white color was noble.
Although damask is not as good as real silk, it is still considered high-end compared to cotton and linen, and its price is several times higher than that of cotton and linen.
Ordinary people definitely cannot afford this kind of thing. Silk cloth is something that only wealthy families and merchants can afford.
For example, Song Gaoyan's clothes are now made of silk cloth. Not only is the quality very good, but the feeling when she wears them is also different.
Shopkeeper Chen had already made up his mind. If the person in front of him still looked down on him, then he could be sure that the person in front of him was here to cause trouble.
This thing has a name in my hometown, called three-foot white silk, and is usually used for hanging.
Liu Feng said to Shopkeeper Chen with a smile.
Liu Feng was not deliberately looking for trouble. After all, the quality of the silk cloth was very good. However, in the new era, everyone had watched too many TV dramas in which the emperors of ancient times would often reward their harem with three feet of white silk.
"Haha, it really can talk, is it used to hang yourself?"
"Could it be that Boss Liu is from the palace? I've never heard you say that such fine silk was used for hanging in any other place besides the palace."
Shopkeeper Chen sneered, and at this moment he had a feeling in his heart that Liu Feng was here to cause trouble.
"Why would you need silk cloth to hang yourself? A hemp rope will do."
"Since Boss Liu doesn't like the things in my Xiuyuan Pavilion, then naturally this business between us can't continue."
"I think you should go to Youzhou or somewhere else to look for it."
"see a visitor out……."
At this moment, Manager Chen did not curse at anyone. This was already the limit of Song Gaoyan's face. If someone else questioned the technology of Xiuyuan Pavilion like this, he would have had someone beat him out long ago.
Even though his Xiuyuan Pavilion is full of embroiderers, it is not a place where people can be bullied.
"Shopkeeper Chen, what are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry? I still want to see if your Xiuyuan Pavilion has any fabrics with more complex patterns and better quality."
In fact, for textile technology, the most intuitive way to measure their technical level is the complexity of the pattern.
If it is just a simple plain diamond pattern, it means that the relatively primitive foot-operated two-increase loom is still used here.
If more complex patterns could be woven, the number of weaves might increase to four, six, or even eight.
If you want to produce irregular patterns on a large area, you will need a flower loom and jacquard technology, which is a more complex technology.
This Hualou machine is really too complicated. Even if Liu Feng comes, it will take at least ten days or half a month to replicate its drawings. Teaching people how to use it will take a lot of effort.
If Yunjinfang already had a flower-building machine, Liu Feng would have given up this path.
