Su Tang also agreed with what Mu Song said. Previously, Su Tang's sauce processing workshop only hired less than twenty workers to produce star sugar sauce to supply the market throughout the north.
On the one hand, in addition to star candy, Luo Family's sauces were mainly sold at that time, so the market for star candy was relatively small. On the other hand, there was a huge meat grinder in the sauce processing workshop.
Although it may seem crude, it is really easy to use and increases efficiency.
But the dyeing workshop was different. Even though Su Tang and Luo Xingchen had brought some maids from the Duke's Mansion to dye the fabrics in the yard before, that was because the two of them dyed less.
If you really want to dye a large amount of cloth and sell it, it will be a laborious job. If there are few people, it will definitely not be enough. The material will be very heavy when wet.
Therefore, Mu Song said that the average dyeing workshop requires twenty or thirty people, which is not an exaggeration. Even if Sutang provides dyes that are relatively simple to operate, it will not save much in terms of manpower. At most, it can only hire people without having to find skilled workers.
You must know that people like Mu Song who are already good at dyeing cloth are difficult to find in the market. Most dyeing houses will find apprentices and then train them themselves. There are still only a small number of people who are released outside.
After all, he is also a skilled worker. Mu Song was forced to live in exile because his boss was screwed, so Su Tang bought him back.
"Come and take a look at this material!" Su Tang gave Mu Song a piece of pink muslin that he had dyed himself.
Mu Song's eyes lit up when he saw it, "It's such a bright color, is it washed out in rose red?"
Mu Song took the material in his hand, twisted it with his fingers, and shook his head, "No, the washed material will not be so thick. Where did the lady get this material? I have never seen such a small color."
What Su Tang brought out was a very light-colored powder, a serious peach blossom powder with a light and elegant color. However, according to the technology of this era, the lighter the color, the higher the requirements for color fixation and dyeing.
When Mu Song saw such light pink material at first glance, he thought it was dyed first and then washed, just like Tianshui Bisha. However, he did not expect that the cloth Su Tang showed him was very light in color, but the fiber structure was It's very close.
Obviously, the light color cannot be achieved by repeated rinsing, because repeated rinsing will inevitably damage the structure of the material itself. The reason why Tianshui Bisha faded seriously and became particularly brittle before was because in order to achieve that distant and light effect, it was repeated Washed out.
Naturally, the material becomes brittle after being washed, but the material taken out by Sutang is obviously not rinsed in such large areas, so that the toughness of the cotton itself is retained.
This is so rare. Mu Song looked over and over again, "Is it dyed directly? Miss, how is the color fixed? Can you cut off a small piece and wash it?"
It’s really an occupational disease. When I see brightly colored materials, I can’t put them down and want to study them.
On the contrary, Su Tang likes this style of doing things. Most people are just ordinary people with limited talents, so it is obviously more appropriate to concentrate on doing one thing well than trying to do everything well.
Mu Song can concentrate on this matter, and Su Tang believes that he will do well in this aspect. Even if he is not top-notch, he will definitely not be too bad.
"You don't have to wash it. This material will not fade unless you wash it with soap hundreds of times a day." Su Tang refused to let him try it.
The Sutang material was dyed with dyes from the space supermarket. Modern color-fixing technology is already very advanced. It goes without saying that things in the space will not fade at all. It is not realistic after all, but it is guaranteed to be a few It’s normal that it won’t fall off within the year.
