Jiang Dalang stood up, took a look at the color soup, and was quite surprised: "This red color is indeed very deep."
In the last life, she was trapped in the palace playing with dyeing, and he secretly went to see it, and the Dasheng Dynasty The madder-colored soup produced is indeed not as good as the one here.
The land and products of the Great Wei Dynasty are really good. If it were a neighboring country of the Great Sheng Dynasty, he would have led troops to annex the Great Wei Dynasty.
Asked again: "Xiaomi, what should we do next? Direct dyeing? Can the boiled grass roots be used?"
Qin Xiaomi: "Yes, it can be boiled for four times in total. times. The first two soups are rich, pour them together to make them red, and the last two soups are lighter, pour them together to make them orange.”
He found another cloth and covered it on the deep wooden basin: "Pour the color soup in and filter it."
"Okay." After Jiang Dalang poured down the color soup, he poured the grass roots back into the earthen pot and continued. Cook over fire.
Qin Xiaomi took out the white soil, vinegar, alkali, bison, and the powder of the two plants, and then took out a very small bamboo spoon and began to slowly mix the medium water needed for dyeing the cloth. and color-fixing water.
While waiting for the mixture to be ready, Jiang Dalang had already boiled the second color soup and filtered it through a cloth into a wooden basin.
"Fifth sister-in-law, has Xiaomi girl started dyeing cloth?!" Qin Liupo's high-pitched questioning voice came.
Not long after, the sound of stomping footsteps came, not from Qin Liu Po, but from Qin Xiaogu: "Sister Xiaomi, Liu Po is here. Hurry up and hide the things that cannot be exposed."
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said: "No need to stop her, let her come in, she will learn Don't go."
"Xiaogu, you are becoming more and more disrespectful. I am a person of your grandmother's generation, how dare you stop me!" Qin Liupo walked around Qin Xiaogu and rushed to Qin Xiaomi. He came up to me and said with a smile: "Hey, Xiaomi girl, I'm going to start dyeing cloth." Then hurry up and dye it. The sixth wife is not going to set up a stall today, and she is here to help you dye the cloth."
Qin Xiaomi said to Jiang Dalang: "Since the sixth wife is here to help, then. He gave her the boiled grass roots and asked her to pound them into If you boil it like this, the color soup will be richer for the third and fourth time."
"Hey." Jiang Dalang immediately poured the grass roots into the stone trough and called Qin Liupo: "Liu Po, hurry up. Come and pound the grass roots, or leave if you don’t.”
As she said this, she was going to pull Qin Liupo, which made Qin Liupo very angry, but there was nothing she could do. She wanted to see how Qin Xiaomi dyed cloth, so she could only dig up grass roots, and said: "Little girl Xiaomi, if you can't dye the cloth into red, You have to pay me today’s wages!”
Qin Xiaomibi She was cruel and said with a smile: "Sixth Po, if you don't work hard today, I will deduct one day's dividend from your family."
"You!" Qin Liupo was so angry that she was half dead, but she was not Qin Xiaomi The opponent can only pound, pound, pound, treat the grass roots as Qin Xiaomi, and pound them severely.
Qin Xiaomi went to make a wooden clamp, then went to Grandma Qin to get a white cotton cloth, threw the cotton cloth into the wooden basin, and soaked it in the madder-colored soup.
The first time was to soak for a quarter of an hour before putting the cotton cloth soaked with color soup into the first bucket of medium water. After soaking for a while, the color soup and medium water reacted.
When she picked it up again, Qin Liupo's eyes widened, she ran over, pulled the bucket and shouted: "What did you put in this bucket of water? Why did the orange-red cloth turn bright red when you picked it up?!"
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "You will know after one sip. But if you get diarrhea and fall ill, don't come to me."
Qin Liupo was very angry.
Qin Xiaomi ignored her and soaked the mordant-dyed fabric in the grass root color soup again. This time, he only soaked it for a while and then picked it up and put it into the medium water... Repeated this more than ten times. , when it was fished out for the last time, the white cotton cloth had turned into a very deep bright red.
“It’s done.” Jiang Dalang was very happy for her and smiled: “Xiaomi, you really did it.”
In her previous life, she could make dyes at will because she was a queen and could get countless precious raw materials with just a command. But this is the Wei Dynasty, and they are poor people. Su Su can still dye red cloth with some grass roots and white soil, which is really amazing.
Qin Liupo also stood up in shock, but she sneered: "Hey, don't be too happy too early. This red cloth will definitely not be used. It will fade. If you don't believe it, throw it into clean water and wash it. The color will definitely be washed away... I bet you ten Qin Xiaomi was very disgusted: "You have the nerve to say it so loudly. If you want to bet, just a tael of silver."
With such a bold bet, it seems that Xiaomi girl is very sure of winning.
Qin Liupo was afraid of losing, so she said: "One bet will ruin three generations. I won't bet with you. I've gone to grind the grass roots. Quickly throw the red cloth into the water and wash it. Make sure it doesn't fade!"
While pounding the grass roots, she stretched her neck and stared at Qin Xiaomi, waiting to see her red cloth fade, but the new red cloth had not faded after being in the clear water for a long time.
Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Liupo couldn't wait any longer and ran to wash the red cloth, but the red cloth did not lose any color. She was so shocked that she froze on the spot. After a while, hahaha He ran away laughing.
Qin Xiaogu was frightened: "Sister Xiaomi, isn't the sixth wife crazy?"
"Don't worry, she can't be crazy." Qin Xiaomi went to put the water in the solid color water The red cloth was scooped up and hung on the clothesline to dry.
Qin Xiaogu ran over, looked at the red cloth and asked: "Sister Xiaomi, can this red cloth be used after it dries? Does it really not fade?"
He added, "It's okay if the color fades. Just make it through the wedding day."
Dang, Qin Xiaomi hit him on the head and taught him a lesson: "The color of the wedding dress fading is a bad sign and has a bad meaning. And the wedding dress is not meant for the bride to wear for just one day. It’s the bride’s lifetime happiness, do you understand?”
Qin Xiaogu shook his head: “I don’t quite understand.”
Jiang Dalang understood, but it’s a pity that he didn’t do it in the last life. She placed too much emphasis on the throne, which caused her to suffer a lot of grievances.
But now, he is no longer the emperor, he no longer has to weigh the pros and cons, he only needs to treat her wholeheartedly.
In order to cover up his emotions, he hurriedly went to get the grass roots pounded by Qin Liupo and continued to add water to make the color soup. After his emotions calmed down, he praised Qin Xiaomi: "This red cloth will never fade, because everything made from millet is beautiful." is the best.”
Qin Xiaogu laughed at him: "Brother Dalang does everything for Sister Xiaomi."
"Xiaomi, the red cloth is dyed?!" Grandma Qin rushed over and looked at the red cloth drying in the backyard. , hurriedly started to rub his hands, and saw that on his hands After not being stained at all, his hands were shaking with shock, and he hurriedly called Jiang Dalang: "Go to the town and call your Grandpa Qin back!"
Qin Xiaomi hurriedly said: "Grandma, call Grandpa back at this time. , but it will arouse suspicion, Let’s talk to grandpa after he comes back from the stall.”
“It’s okay.” Grandma Qin nodded, trembling, and begged again: “Xiaomi, it’s hard to keep this thing. , burn it.”
Qin Xiaomi knew what Grandma Qin was afraid of, but what she would not give up was to comfort Grandma Qin: "Grandma, don't be afraid. Let's wait until grandpa comes back to discuss whether to keep this red cloth, okay?"
Qin Liupo ran over: "Fifth sister-in-law, you are too timid... Come on, let me help the Xu family clean up their dilapidated house, otherwise Erjun and Lizi will get married. There’s not even a decent new house.”
She took Grandma Qin away, then turned to Qin Xiaomi and said, “My family needs at least 10%!”
Qin Xiaomi: “ Half-performed, do you want love?"
Qin Liupo was furious, but she could only agree: "It's a deal, no regrets!"
