Wang Chao nodded.
"Indeed, compared to the bamboo basket and some other bamboo woven objects, the brocade box is indeed much more exquisite.”
"Actually, it's not difficult to make the whole brocade box. I just need to use hard cardboard to make a box that matches the size of wild ginseng.”
"The difficulty lies in the brocade on the surface of the box.”
"Brother Chao, are you going to buy brocade?”
"What are you thinking? Only Jiangnan Workshop in Hang City has brocade now. Where did Yashan get brocade?”
"I regret not taking the gamble. How could Brother Chao make brocade with his bare hands?”
Wang Chao smiled but didn't explain.
He turned around and dragged Grandma's empty old-fashioned loom into the courtyard from the room next door.
"I am not empty-handed. I still have the tools to weave this brocade.”
This loom was used by Grandma to weave the cotton cloth at home.
Over the years, after the industrial development, Grandma also found weaving troublesome, so she usually went to the market to buy finished cloth and make it.
Gradually, the loom became dusty and useless.
"F * ck, what an old object."
"Brother Chao really wants to weave his own brocade?”
"Weave…Brother Ono?"
Wang Chao took a rag and wiped the dust off the loom.
He pointed at the loom and explained.
"The oldest loom is a sitting loom. The method of using it is to step on the wooden stick at the bottom of the loom with your foot, use the wooden knife to beat the thread with your right hand, and use your left hand to draw the thread.”
"Those looms are clumsy and slow to weave.”
"But I have to admit that the ancient ancestors were wise. This kind of loom first appeared in the Qing Han Dynasty.”
"Grandma's loom is a product of the gradual innovation of the later generations. It can open the weaving mouth from top to bottom at the same time, thread from left to right, and automatically tighten from front to back. It can move at high speed in three directions. It can be said to be comparable to modern electric looms.”
"F * ck, Brother Chao, you really can dig and weave.”
"It's too early to say that. The host only knows a little about looms, right? She hasn't even woven cloth yet.”
Some netizens who had just come to watch the live broadcast clearly did not believe that a burly man like Wang Chao knew how to weave.
"I know everyone thinks I don't know how to weave because I'm a man.”
"Actually, that's not the case. In history, many famous brocade weavers were men. Many of the brocades they weaved were used to worship the royal family.”
Brocade Under Heaven: " I can testify for Brother Chao on this point. It is indeed the case. Not only in ancient times, but even the technical director of our weaving workshop is also male.”
Brocade Under the Heavens: " Let me add, I am the inheritor of this generation's Jiangnan Workshop in Hang City. Everyone can call me Little Brocade.”
"What the f * ck? The successor of Jiangnan Lane was actually revealed?”
"What is Jiangnan Lane? I'll ask weakly."
"You don't even know about Jiangnan Lane?"
"Jiangnan Workshop is the largest brocade weaving factory in our country. It has existed since the Song Dynasty. You have to know that China's silk is famous all over the world.”
"So awesome."
Wang Chao glanced at Jin Man Tian Xia's ID and said,""That's good. I can show off my skills in front of an expert and knit a brocade in front of Xiao Jin. It will also teach everyone about our traditional weaving culture.”
Wang Chao first found some silk threads that his grandmother had bought in the past from the cabinet. Although these silk threads were not particularly expensive, they were of good quality and bright colors.
If it was in the past, Wang Chao definitely wouldn't have the confidence to weave a brocade.
But now, Wang Chao had the skill of a grandmaster craftsman.
Therefore, he was very confident in weaving a brocade.
Seeing that Wang Chao was only holding some ordinary silk thread, Jin Mantian was disappointed.
"Brother Chao, are you going to use this ordinary silk thread to weave brocade?”
"No matter what, you have to use good natural silk to weave brocade, right?”
When he saw Wang Chao's deep understanding of looms, he thought that Wang Chao really knew how to weave. Now, it seemed that Wang Chao was just trying to attract people's attention.
He was greatly disappointed.
When the netizens saw that the expert, Jin ManTian Xia, had said so, they immediately started to jeer.
"Brother Chao, stop struggling. You definitely won't be able to knit it.”
"Brother Chao, let alone brocade, even if you could weave a piece of cloth, I would be convinced.”
"I say, let's just find a box and give it to Yunkai.”
"Why make things difficult for yourself?"
"This is the first time I've watched Brother Chao's livestream. I feel like I'm going to fail.”
Wang Chao did not explain.
He silently used the remaining "spiritual water" in the large water tank in the courtyard to pass the silk thread over it.
After being soaked, the silk thread looked darker, but it still had a slight luster under the sunlight.
It was just that the threads had not dried up yet, so it was not obvious.
Wang Chao placed the wet silk thread beside the loom.
With one foot under the loom, his right hand took out the thread and pulled it on the loom. His left hand took out the shuttle and began to shuttle back and forth through the thread.
In the beginning, he slowed down his speed as if he wanted the netizens in the live broadcast room to see what he was doing.
After a while, everyone could only see the shuttle of the loom flying up and down.
