After being bound by the cute new system, I took the whole place flying

“If the cocoon you choose from the beginning is inferior, the fabric you end up with will be very ugly and not durable.”

Seeing Jun Mo remember everything he just said, Si Qingfu spoke again:

"After selecting the cocoon, it is necessary to boil the cocoon in order to soften the sericin and make the silk easier to parse. The key to boiling the cocoon is to control the water temperature and soaking time of the cocoon. If the temperature and soaking time are not enough, the silk will The dissolution of cocoon is poor, the surface tension of the silk is large, the spinning is difficult, and the silk strands are easy to break. On the contrary, the temperature is too high, the sericin is dissolved too much, the cocoon silks lack sericin adhesion, the cohesion force is poor, and the silk strands are weak. In addition, if If the temperature difference between the front and back is large, the dissolution of sericin will be uneven, which will inevitably lead to uneven threads and joints."

After saying this, Si Qing's mouth was really dry. He paused for a few seconds, and then continued:

"Then, I would like to remind you one more thing. During the process of bamboo decomposition, the number of water changes must also be controlled. After the cocoons are decomposed, a large amount of sericin will dissolve in the water. If you do not pay attention to the water changes, the sericin content in the water will decrease. It will become higher and higher, and the silk will be bright but not white; but if the water is changed too often, the amount of sericin in the water will be small, which will not only make the silk white but not bright, but also affect the efficiency of reeling."

So troublesome...

Jun Mo looked at the pile of things he just remembered and frowned slightly.

"Could it be that you just thought of a way to trick me?"

Si Qing snorted coldly and folded his arms.

"Please, you already agreed to my reason. What reason do I have to lie to you? Besides, only slow work can produce fine work. You want something good, how can you do it without working hard? Do you still want to listen to me? Continue?"

Looking at the half-sent items, Jun Mo nodded. He is not someone who likes to give up halfway. On the contrary, he likes challenging things. The more difficult things are, the more it stimulates his desire for challenge.

He really doesn't believe in evil anymore. Don't they deserve what they have in heaven?

He just wants everything in the sky to fall to the earth without falling.

"Then let me continue. The next step after cooking the cocoon is to reel it out."

"The first task of reeling is to pick up the thread, also called to lift the thread, which is to stir the silk basin to make the silk thread float in the water, and use wooden chopsticks or small plant stems with hairy teeth to pick up the loose silk ends in the silk basin. The filament is drawn out; the second step is to arrange the thread, remove the thick part of the silk drawn out from the silk basin, and combine several strands into one strand; finally, the sorted silk thread is put on the silk car through the money eye and the silk hook. "

Speaking of the silk car, Si Qing couldn't help but slap her forehead. Why did she show off silk clothes to Jun Mo? Wasn't it obvious that she was looking for a job for herself?

The silk cart was also a big problem. How should she let Jun Mo understand the silk cart?

"Can I use the weaving machine?"

Before he could even open his mouth to explain, Jun Mo was the first to ask.

Si Qing nodded slightly.

"Not bad, right? It's also usable."

The effect may be a little worse than the silk car.

"Seeing that your study attitude is quite upright, I will remind you again. After the silk car is finished, it will take time for the silk to form. During the formation process, the silk will inevitably be accompanied by silk. Glue and some impurities are mixed in. Although part of these sericin and impurities can be removed during reeling, some will still adhere to the silk fibroin. Due to their presence, raw silk or gray silk appears rough and stiff."

Jun Mo put down the brush in his hand.

"Is there a way to avoid it?"

Si Qing nodded slightly, of course there was a way.

"This situation will happen more or less, so don't worry too much. Once this happens, you need to practice silk."

"That is to say, it means to further remove the sericin and impurities on it to make the raw silk or gray silk whiter and easier to dye."

Jun Mo lowered his head slightly, as long as he had a way to deal with it.

"method."

With another extremely arrogant face, Si Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes, but still explained all the methods in detail.

"There are three methods that I know of. Do you want me to tell you the most effective one, or do you want me to tell you all three methods?"

Jun Mo pursed his lips.

"I want to know everything."

Come on! He was an ignorant baby with strong curiosity. At this moment, Si Qing finally saw the nature of this person.

"The first method is the plant ash soaking and sun drying method. The method is to soak the reeled raw silk in warm water with neem ash and mirage ash, then take it out and expose it to the sun. After drying, soak it again and dry it again. This continues for several days, while using water temperature and alkaline substances in the water to continue to remove excess sericin and impurities on the silk; while using sunlight and ultraviolet rays to bleach, the silk produces its unique luster and soft feel."

"This method is relatively common and relatively low-cost. Plant ash can be found almost everywhere. I recommend you to use this method."

Jun Mo nodded slightly.

"then."

"The second method is to use pig pancreas cooking method. This method can be used in combination with soaking in plant ash. The method is to first mix the pig pancreas with broken silk threads and mash it into a ball, and hang it in a cool place that is not exposed to direct sunlight. It is dried and fermented in the shade. When used, the slices are dissolved in boiling water containing plant ash, and the silk to be scoured is thrown into it and boiled. This is a degumming process that combines alkali scouring and enzyme scouring. The alkali scouring is to speed up the degumming. It improves the degumming efficiency, and enzyme refining also has the functions of weakening the effect of alkali on silk fibroin, making degumming even, and increasing the luster of the silk."

After these words, Si Qing clearly felt that Jun Mo's patience was getting less and less.

"Some Ci Gu didn't understand what you said at all. Are you sure it's really useful?"

Si Qing nodded seriously.

"In the process of what I said, part of it used some terms from our heaven. It's normal that you don't understand. You can write down the general method and you will never make a mistake."

Jun Mo nodded slightly and signaled Si Qing to continue.

"The last method is the wooden pestle beating method. This method is also used in combination with the plant ash soaking method. First, soak the raw silk in the plant ash juice, and then beat it with a wooden pestle. When the raw silk is soaked in the ash juice and then beaten with a wooden pestle, not only It is easy to make the sericin fall off, and it can prevent the disorder of the silk bundles to a certain extent, and the quality of the finished silk is also better than that of simple gray water scouring, which can make its appearance show obvious luster."

After introducing all three methods, Si Qing breathed a sigh of relief. This was definitely the most she had ever spoken.

"Speaking of which, Gu Gang has always had a question."

"what?"

“It’s true that some of the idioms you use in heaven don’t understand, but do you, in heaven, also speak Mandarin like in the human world?”
