Chapter 46

But Xu Changlin's face did not change at all. He was too clear about his young master's virtue. He said quietly, "our Earl's house does a lot of business, including silk, tea, jade and so on."

After hearing this, Wang Kang was not calm. No wonder Wang Dingchang was as rich as Yangzhou.

This business is very profitable.

"Of course, the biggest and best we make are silk fabrics," Xu added.

"The silk fabric dyed by our Earl's house is bright and bright, and it's not easy to fade. It's not only supplied to Kyoto, but also sold to other countries..."

Xu Changlin has a proud look. Obviously, he is very proud of his achievements.

"Is this the fabric I'm wearing dyed by our family?" Wang Kang asked, pointing to his clothes.

"Yes Xu Changlin nodded and said, "young master, what you are wearing is the best fabric of our family, and the dyeing is still luxurious purple. You know, we are the only one who can dye purple in the whole Yangzhou city."

"Is that the best?" Wang Kang skimmed his lips. The fabric is pretty good. It's pure cotton. It's smooth and smooth, but the dyeing is poor.

Although it's purple, it's not bright. It's dull and slightly black.

Lin Yuyan looks at Wang Kang's dissatisfied expression. Suddenly, she is speechless. Wang Kang doesn't quite understand it, but she knows it very well.

The reason why Wang Dingchang's business has such a large scale is that he has a very mature dyeing process.

In particular, the formula of dyed purple cloth is even more secret. This formula alone is priceless.

Xu Changlin said, "why don't you take the young master to our dyeing workshop?"

"Well, I have a better dyeing formula than this," Wang Kang nodded, "just to teach our craftsmen!"

"What did you say? Do you have a better dyeing formula? " Xu Changlin has not said anything, Lin Yuyan is first exclaimed.

"Yes, what's the problem?" Wang Kangli naturally said that there was a library in his mind. It was not easy to check several dyeing formulas.

"You are so fearless that you don't know!" Lin Yuyan laughed angrily. What's the dyeing formula? This is the top secret of every cloth shop. Every recipe has been obtained through many experiments.

The black sheep easily said that he had a better dyeing formula.

"Well, young master, why don't we go to the tea house to have a look? The smell of the dyeing house is too heavy. It hurts your body." Xu Changlin said in a hurry.

He had a bad feeling in his heart and gave Lin Yuyan a wink, but he did not dare to let him go to the dyeing workshop.

Can he come up with a better formula? Others don't know, but Xu Changlin knows very well that a large part of the reason why the Earl's house has such achievements is because it has a unique formula.

And these formulas are not know how much energy, or even money to test out, each formula is very expensive, in order to ensure that it will not be leaked.

The recipe is known only by the person in charge of the workshop. If the Master goes there and tosses about, the loss will be great.

Lin Yuyan obviously understood Xu Changlin's meaning. Just as she was about to dissuade him, Wang Kang said, "I went to the dyeing workshop. How dare you not believe me? I'll show you today."

"This..." Xu Changlin wanted to slap himself in the mouth, and he blamed himself for leading in this way.

But now that Wang Kang spoke, he did not dare to disobey him. He said, "go, young master. Just have a look. Don't delay the craftsmen's work."

"Lead the way!" But Wang Kang didn't want to say more. He knew what Xu Changlin's subtext meant.

It's just don't fool around. In the end, I still don't believe him. I have to dye a better cloth for you to see.

Wang Kang thought to himself that the poor dyed purple material he was wearing was the only one in the world. Wouldn't the better cloth be more precious? He did it for the sake of the Earl's house.

Under the leadership of Xu Changlin, several people stopped in front of a three story Pavilion on the South Street in a carriage. The sign on it said, "Fuyang Buzhuang!

This is a branch shop in the Earl's mansion. It was not called this name before. Later, after Wang Dingchang was granted the title of Uncle Fuyang, he changed the name.

Looking from the outside, this cloth house is magnificent and has the style of the Earl's house of Fuyang.

Several people entered the door, immediately a man came up, "deacon Xu, you are here!"

The man's eyes brightened and said with a flattering smile.

"Where's shopkeeper he? Today I'll bring the young master to have a look and let him come out to meet him."

Xu Changlin said in a deep voice.

"Here comes the young master?" As soon as he stayed in Fuyang cloth shop, he naturally heard of Wang Kang's name, but he never saw him with his own eyes.

I think this young master is the famous young master Kang. He looks handsome, and he doesn't look like what is said.

The man thought strangely and said, "shopkeeper he is busy in the back. Today another batch of cloth will be dyed.""Well, you're busy. Let's go to the back to find him," Xu Changlin nodded to the man, and then took Wang Kang to the backyard of the cloth shop.

"Because our business is good, cloth and silk sell fast. For convenience, each cloth shop is equipped with an independent dyeing workshop..." Xu Changlin explained as he walked.

Smell speech, Wang Kang secretly nodded, such words but can save a lot of transportation cost.

Several people chatted and came to the backyard through the back door of the cloth shop. The backyard was very large. Several craftsmen were busy in the yard. When they saw Xu Changlin coming in, they all nodded their heads, but no one knew Wang Kang.

Because he doesn't come usually.

Xu Changlin responded one by one, and then led Wang Kang into another room, which should be the core of the dyeing house.

There was a strange smell in the room. There were several large dye vats. In a corner, a middle-aged man was busy in front of a big pot.

"That's shopkeeper he. He is the only one who knows the formula of dyeing, so he makes every dyeing himself."

Xu Changlin pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "if we can develop the formula of purple dye, shopkeeper he can't help it!"

Wang Kangding saw that this man had something to do with his ability to develop a purple dye formula.

In ancient times, the most precious cloth is not yellow, or other colors, but purple!

In fact, it's easy to understand when you think about it. It's rare to see materials that can extract purple in daily life, so purple is also the most precious.

Wang Kang walked over to shopkeeper he. Looking at what he did, Wang Kang understood where his purple came from. He actually mixed blue and red dyes directly.
