A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot Chapter 640

  Chapter 640 Machine stick

  The person who weaves the weaving is the weaver.

   That is to say, what he came in this time was to learn the skills of weaving.

  After realizing this, Li Yi was very depressed.

  Say it early!

  If he had known earlier, he would have bought some textile books to read.

  It's good now, he has read so many books on carpentry, isn't it for nothing?

   Sighing, he collected his thoughts and gave up complaining.

  If he comes, he will be safe. Since he is here, then he should find a way to master the skills earlier and go back sooner.

   Anyway, it's not the first time for him, he's used to it.

  Just this time, how long will it take him to go back?

  In the space of the eight-faced stele, Li Yi's figure slowly emerged.

  His hands were pressed in front of him, as if he was sorting out something.

  But after seeing the eight-faced stele in front of him, his expression became astonished, and he immediately exclaimed: "No!"

  Hearing a man's voice coming out of his mouth, he was taken aback suddenly, and then his expression became complicated.

  Memory began to peel off, he felt this familiar sense of alienation, and couldn't help but squeeze his fingers tightly.

  He never thought that it took him a full 50 years to come out of the space this time.

   But why now?

  As he analyzed, the woman he possessed this time was named Chang Ping, and she was one of the weavers who accompanied Gong Heng as a hostage to the state of Chu.

  The exquisite silk brought by these weavers also opened up the brilliance of the Chu people's silk industry, and at the same time indirectly shaped the Chu people's cultural character of pursuing romance and individuality.

  As the state of Chu became more and more prosperous, silk entered the lives of many people in Chu.

  Chu people, who originally claimed to be barbarians, did not stick to one pattern.

  The bold Chu people also used their whimsy and acceptance to create the highest aesthetics of that period.

  Chu people can accept countless colors of clothing, even the most basic red can be divided into many colors such as deep red, vermilion, orange red, red brown, etc.

   Among them, the most classic collocation is the "Qingyun clothes and white neon clothes" written by Qu Yuan, a native of Chu in later generations, in "Nine Songs".

  Because of this acceptance, weavers have also made many innovations in materials.

  In the past few decades, they have developed more than ten kinds of fabric materials such as damask, silk, silk, satin, spinning, yarn, gauze, crepe, silk, Ge, tweed, velvet, brocade, and silk.

  Chu people also love these fabric materials, especially the light and elegant Zen clothes.

   Just like what Qu Yuan wrote in "Calling the Soul", "The clothes are thinner, more beautiful but not strange".

  In terms of accessories, Chu people also have their own preferences.

"Ren Qiulan thinks it's adorned", "serves Ai Yiying's essentials", "relieves flatness and miscellaneous vegetables", "He Qiongpei's Yanxi", from orchid mugwort, to green bamboo and jade, can all be accessories for Chu people .

  This free aesthetic also influenced Qu Yuan, Li Bai and countless people in later generations.

  Even the Hanfu of later generations was modified from the Chufu of that year.

   In the space, Li Yi has personally experienced this aesthetic evolution process, and is also the main driving force behind it.

  It was only when he started learning weaving that he realized that weaving is not that difficult.

   To put it bluntly, weaving is to weave silk threads horizontally, vertically, obliquely, etc., and finally gather them into a whole piece of cloth.

  This process is almost the same as bamboo weaving.

  Their various fancy weaving methods have the same principles.

   It can even be said that weaving is bamboo weaving in which silk thread is used instead of bamboo thread.

   Of course, the two cannot be confused.

  But all laws belong to the same source, in Li Yi's view, the principles between them are all in common.

  Li Yiben is a master of bamboo weaving, as the saying goes, one method is mastered, ten thousand methods are mastered.

  Not long after he started learning, he has become a very good weaver.

   And most of his learning process was spent learning how to operate that old-fashioned loom frame.

  Originally he thought that after mastering the weaving of all materials, he could return to reality.

   But he waited year after year, but he never got the chance to return.

  Because of the previous experience, he was not in a hurry, but was looking for a way to break the situation.

  He knew that once he met the opportunity to return to reality, he would definitely be able to return.

   But this opportunity, he had to find it first.

  Based on his experience last time, he believes that the most likely reason is that his skill has not reached its peak.

  Just like last time when he developed his bamboo weaving skills to the limit, an opportunity appeared.

  His problem is that he has not yet developed his skills to the limit.

  But he has tried all the materials and textile methods. If he wants to improve, he can only find a way in terms of productivity.

  Ever since he started learning weaving, he has discovered that the weaving tools used by weavers are too primitive.

  They use a primitive waist machine.

   are the two crossbars at the front and back, tied to the waist of the weaver with a belt.

  There is no fixed distance between the two crossbars. When weaving, the weaver sits on the ground and uses the position of his feet and the waist to control the tension of the warp.

  Use a warp dividing stick to divide the warp threads into upper and lower layers to form a natural shed.

  Then use a bamboo heald rod to vertically pass through the upper warp yarns from above the upper warp yarns, and hang the lower warp yarns one by one.

  In this way, by lifting the warp dividing stick by hand, the positions of the upper and lower layers can be reversed to form a new weaving gap for the next weaving.

  Weavers call the place where the upper and lower warp yarns meet the heddle, and the so-called synthesis comes from here.

  This kind of waist machine is very troublesome to use. After passing the weft yarn through the weaving hole, it is necessary to beat the weft with a wooden beating knife, which is very inefficient.

   But even so, this is already a very advanced production technology, and it has always been kept secret.

  If it weren't for the soldiers coming to the city this time, the state of Lu would definitely not pass this technology to the state of Chu.

  However, in Li Yi's view, this kind of waist loom has nothing to do with the loom at all, it just uses the simplest two wooden sticks to support it, and the weaving work still depends on the physical and mental strength of the weaver.

  So, Li Yi decided to build a loom.

   At this time, the carpentry books he read before entering the space came in handy.

  He still remembered that some wooden machines were listed in those books, including the ancient loom, that is, the traditional weaving machine.

  From looms, bamboo cage looms, diagonal looms, spinning wheels, to large jacquard looms, there are records in books.

  So, he used bamboo to make several models of machines, and asked his mother to find an opportunity to dedicate them to the King of Chu, and successfully applied for research and development funds.

   Subsequently, under his promotion, an industrial revolution was set off.

  Seeing that the manufactured machine can actually greatly improve the textile efficiency, the king of the Communist Party of Chu was overjoyed.

   And he also discovered that it was not the old woman who built these machines, but Chang Ping, who was possessed by Li Yi.

  So, overjoyed, the king of the Communist Party of Chu made a decision, that is, to marry Changping, who was possessed by Li Yi, as his concubine.

  He intends to imitate the deeds of the Yellow Emperor in marrying Luo Zu as his concubine, and to aspire to the Central Plains.

  This decision almost scared Li Yi so much that he ran away all night. Finally, under the threat of Li Yi holding up a torch and declaring that he would die with the machine, the King of the Communist Party of Chu gave up this decision.
