Chapter forty-six Fuyang cloth village
Xu Changlin's expression did not change at all. He knew too well what his young master was, and said quietly: "Our Earl's Mansion has a lot of business, including silk, tea, jade, etc."
After hearing this, Wang Kang was not calm. No wonder Wang Dingchang was as rich as Yangzhou.
The business done is extremely profitable.
"Of course, the biggest and best we do is silk cloth," Xu Changlin said again.
"The silk fabric dyed in our Earl's Mansion is bright and bright in color, and it is not easy to fade, not only for Kyoto, but also for takeout in other countries..."
Xu Changlin looked proud, and he was very satisfied with such achievements.
"Is this the fabric I'm wearing?" Wang Kang asked, pointing to his clothes.
"Yes!" Xu Changlin nodded and said, "Young Master, you are wearing the best fabric in our house, and the dyeing is still luxurious purple. You must know that it can dye purple. In the entire Yangzhou City, we are the only one of us."
"This is the best?" Wang Kang curled his lips. The fabric was pretty good, the pure cotton texture was smooth and smooth, but the dyeing was a bit worse.
Although it is purple, it is not bright, dull and slightly black.
Lin Yuyan looked at Wang Kang's expression of dissatisfaction and was speechless. Wang Kang didn't quite understand, but she knew very well.
The big reason why Wang Dingchang's business has such a large scale is that it has a very mature dyeing process.
Especially the formula for dyeing purple cloth is a secret, and this recipe alone is priceless.
Xu Changlin's mouth twitched, this prodigal young master, really doesn't know what's wrong,
He said again: "Why would you take the young master to our dyeing workshop to have a look?"
"Okay, I have a better dyeing formula than this," Wang Kang nodded, "just teach our craftsmen!"
"What did you say? Do you have a better dyeing cloth recipe?" Before Xu Changlin could say anything, Lin Yuyan exclaimed first.
"Yes, what's the problem?" Wang Kang responded naturally. There was a library in his mind, and it was not easy to check a few dyed cloth recipes.
"You are really fearless!" Lin Yuyan smiled angrily. What is the dyed cloth formula? This is the top secret of each cloth shop. Each recipe has been obtained through countless experiments.
This prodigal son easily said that he had a better dyeing formula.
"Well, young master, why don't we go to the teahouse to have a look. The dyed cloth workshop has a strong smell, which hurts your body." Xu Changlin said hurriedly.
He had a bad premonition in his heart and even gave Lin Yuyan a wink, but he never dared to let this master go to the dyeing cloth shop.
Can he come up with a better formula? Others don’t know that Xu Changlin knows very well. A large part of the reason why the Earl’s Mansion can achieve such achievements is because of its unique formula.
These formulas are all spent on energy or even money to test them out. Each formula is very expensive to ensure that they are not leaked.
Only the person in charge of the workshop knew the recipe. If this master went over and had a lot of trouble, the loss would be great.
Lin Yuyan obviously understood what Xu Changlin meant, and was about to dissuade him, but at this time Wang Kang had already spoken, "I went to the dyeing cloth shop. How dare you not believe me, I will take it out today for you to see."
"This..." Xu Changlin wanted to slap himself, all because he blamed him for leading him in this direction.
But now that Wang Kang had spoken, he didn't dare to refuse and said, "Then go, go, just take a look, don't delay the work of the craftsmen!"
"Lead the way!" Wang Kang didn't want to say more. He knew what Xu Changlin's subtext meant.
It's nothing more than just don't mess around. After all, I still don't believe him. I will have to dye a better cloth for you to see later.
Wang Kang thought to himself that the poorly dyed purple material he wore was in, wouldn’t that be even more precious? He was also doing this for the Earl’s Mansion.
Under the leadership of Xu Changlin, several people stopped in front of a three-story pavilion on South Street in a carriage, with the sign on it saying, Fuyang cloth village!
This is a cloth shop in the Earl's Mansion. It was not called this name at first. Later, Wang Dingchang was named Fuyang Bo and changed the name.
From the outside, this cloth shop is magnificent and elegant, with the style of the Earl's Mansion of Fuyang.
Several people entered the door and immediately a friend came up, "Dashi Xu, you are here!"
The guy's eyes lit up and he said with a flattering smile.
"Where has Manager He gone? Today I will take the young master over here and let him come out to meet him."
Xu Changlin ordered in a deep voice.
"Young Master is here?" The guy was stunned. He was a mate in Fuyang cloth shop. Of course, he had heard of Wang Kang's name, but he had never seen him with his own eyes.
I guess this young master is the famous Young Master Kang. He looks handsome and not like the legendary ones.
The guy thought strangely and said busy: "Shopkeeper He is busy behind him. Today another batch of cloth is about to be dyed."
"Okay, then you're busy. Let's go to the back to find him," Xu Changlin nodded to the clerk, and then took Wang Kang to the backyard of the cloth village.
"Because our family is good at buying and selling, cloth and silk are sold quickly. To facilitate each cloth shop, a separate dyeing workshop is installed..." Xu Changlin explained as he walked.
Upon hearing this, Wang Kang nodded secretly, as this would save a lot of transportation costs.
While chatting, several people came to the backyard through the back door of the cloth shop. The backyard was quite large and several craftsmen in the yard were busy. When they saw Xu Changlin coming in, they nodded in the business, but no one knew Wang Kang.
Because he never comes.
Xu Changlin responded one by one, and then led Wang Kang into another room, which should be the core of the dyeing workshop.
The room was filled with a strange smell, with several large dye vats placed, and in a corner, a middle-aged man was busy in front of a big pot.
"That's Manager He. He is the only one who controls the dyeing cloth recipe in this place, so he personally makes the dyeing cloth every time."
Xu Changlin pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "We can develop the purple dye formula, and Manager He made an indelible contribution!"
Wang Kangding looked at this man, but he had something to do, and he could actually develop a purple dyed cloth formula.
In ancient times, the most precious cloth was not yellow or other colors, but purple!
In fact, it is easy to understand if you think about it. It is rare to extract purple materials in daily life, so purple is also the most precious.
