169. Silk

After Ren Xiaoyao left the palace, he bought a lot of strange things and plants and returned home. In the palace, Ren Xiaoyao and Bai Liyun agreed to bring 1,000 bunches of grapes to the palace to see if they could be sold and then make additional orders to see how many grapes they needed.

In this regard, Ren Xiaoyao is also very helpless. I thought I could get the silver immediately, but I didn't expect Bai Liyun to be so timid, and she didn't have Ye Guangyuan's courage at all.

However, although he didn't get the silver, Ren Xiaoyao was very confident in grapes, believing that grapes could "kill all directions", and Bailiyun would only need a lot more grapes at that time

"Brother, why did you buy so many things and come back, what is the use of these roots and grass?" As soon as Ren Xiaoyao walked into the house, Ren Shiting walked out of the backyard and ran to Ren Xiaoyao excitedly and said.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the excited Ren Shiting and asked: "Little sister, what's so happy, why don't you open the fruit shop today, if you don't open the fruit shop, I will close the fruit shop and open other points."

"No, who said I didn't open a fruit shop today, I closed the store when Aunt Xu came." Ren Shiting was immediately unhappy when she heard Ren Xiaoyao say that she wanted to turn the fruit shop into another store, and explained.

After listening to what Ren Shiting said, Ren Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, glanced at the house, and saw no one else, only a few soldiers were guarding the door, and asked:

"Little sister, Aunt Xu is here today? When did it come? What is she doing here? Ren Xiaoyao thought that Aunt Xu just came over for a while, and didn't think much about it.

"yes, don't you know? She said you ransomed her and bought her to be a cook for our family. Said you gave her 20 taels of silver to buy dishes and chopsticks, didn't you? Ren Shiting asked strangely after listening to what Ren Xiaoyao said.

After listening to Ren Shiting's words, Ren Xiaoyao was speechless, rolled his eyes, put the dye in his hand aside, and asked, "Then where is Aunt Xu now?" ”

"In the backyard kitchen"

Ren Xiaoyao heard the whereabouts of Aunt Xu, and immediately strode towards the backyard. The reason why he said at that time to buy Aunt Xu to be a cook was just to give him an excuse to redeem himself, not really to buy someone as a slave.

Besides, with space, one more person has one more chance to be discovered, and he can't ignore other people, even Aunt Xu, who seems to be a good person

When Ren Xiaoyao walked to the backyard, he saw a little white smoke coming out of the kitchen where there was only a few open stoves, and from the door, he saw Aunt Xu walking back and forth in the kitchen, holding a plate of dishes, and was about to go out.

Looking at the smile on the face of the meal is like the smile of a mother cooking a meal for her children. Ren Xiaoyao's original intention to drive away Aunt Xu was gone. Thinking of Aunt Xu, who has no children and no daughters, where can she go even if she has 20 taels of silver.

Anyway, if you misunderstand, you will misunderstand, and when you buy all the courtyards in Xishi, you will have to go back to Renjia Village to prepare the materials for building a house, an area of 10,000 square kilometers, there are a lot of houses to build, and there are a lot of raw materials needed.

Although it is just some ordinary materials such as stones, river sand, and clay, but the amount is large, he is just one person, and it is better to ask someone to stay and take care of Ren Shiting for him.

Aunt Xu, who was carrying the meal, showed a kind smile when she saw Ren Xiaoyao's brothers and sisters, and said, "Young Master, are you back?" The meal was just ready and the time was just right. ”

Before Ren Xiaoyao could speak, Ren Shiting, a snack merchant, stared straight at the food on Aunt Xu's tray, and said, "Well, it's so fragrant, Auntie, what kind of dishes are these?" It looks delicious. ”

"Hehe, it's all ordinary side dishes, I won't cook anything else"

Ren Xiaoyao came back to his senses when he heard Aunt Xu's voice, and said to Aunt Xu: "Aunt Xu, you don't have to call me young master, everyone is the same person, there is no distinction between high and low, you will still call me by my name in the future."

Ren Xiaoyao is very indifferent to the etiquette of this feudal social system, and thinks that people should be happy and happy, bound by etiquette, and live comfortably. If it weren't for the palace's value for him, he wouldn't want to interact with the palace, and he would have worked hard to die if he said a word.

"Yes, young master," Aunt Xu said respectfully when she heard this.

Ren Xiaoyao was speechless when he heard Aunt Xu's words, and when he looked up and saw his respectful appearance, he didn't know what to say. Glancing at the strange food of the Sunset Country, Ren Xiaoyao had no appetite, and threw down a sentence: I have eaten, you eat, and then take the dye back to the room

As soon as he returned to the room, Ren Xiaoyao immediately locked the door and said to himself: "What the matter, there is still a soldier in my room, that is, I want to use a strong one, thinking that one or two soldiers can stop me?" ”

After speaking, he looked down at the strange plant in his hand, and flashed into the space. When I entered the space, I came to a clearing and planted the plants that were about to dry up one by one using the spring water of the space.

"This is sugar beet, this is woad, blue grass, this is locust rice" After the three planting species were good, Ren Xiaoyao used the space spring water to plant a large number of them. After planting, the remaining plants were brought to the orchard.

These three plants were bought at a high price from a dyeing workshop in Four Seasons County. The last time he entered the space, he found that there was enough silk woven in the space to make a few clothes for himself and Ren Shiting.

Because there was no dye to sell in Sunset Country, and he didn't trust the dyeing workshop, he was afraid of damaging the silk, so he heard from Bailiyun about a century-old dyeing workshop in Four Seasons County and bought the materials of the dyeing workshop at a high price.

Due to the backwardness of science and technology, almost all the dyeing of fabrics in the Chinese continent is extracted from natural plants, just like the ancient "Grass and Wood Dyeing" of the earth, which is extracted from plants that are easy to extract colored organic matter. Like what madder, sumac, locust rice, chrysanthemum and so on

However, Ren Xiaoyao did not buy all the color-enhancing plants, but only bought four kinds: sugar beet, woad, blue grass, and locust rice. Among these four plants, the wind can extract red, blue, and yellow.

Although Ren Xiaoyao was not in the clothing industry and the art industry in his previous life, he still knew the three primary colors. There are two ways to say the three primary colors, one is the three primary colors of color and light: red, green, and blue. The colors that the human eye sees are mixed in different proportions according to these three basic colors.

There is also a subtractive primary color for pigments, dyes, and paints, and the primary color is composed of red, yellow, and blue. As long as these three colors are refined, you can mix other colors at will, which is why Ren Xiaoyao didn't buy all the color lifting plants in the dye shop.

However, with the passage of time, science and technology rise and fall, the three primary colors are classified more carefully, before he crosses, what color light three primary colors, pigment three primary colors, color TV three primary colors, printing three primary colors and so on

Ren Xiaoyao came to the orchard and looked at a transparent cage above the orchard, flying densely packed with milky white silkworm moths, there were hundreds of thousands. There was also a rolled up white cloth next to it, and there were still a few white lights flashing on the cloth, weaving the silk that the silkworm had just spit out.

Coming back to his senses, Ren Xiaoyao looked at the cage in the sky and said to himself: "It seems that these silkworm moths will be released tomorrow, otherwise there will be more than the number of chickens." ”

After speaking, he planted the three branches in his hand under a fruit tree at random. These three plants are also color-enhancing plants, which are obtained by accident. All three are camellia plants, namely black tea, green tea, and oolong tea.

At that time, Ren Xiaoyao asked the shopkeeper of the dyeing workshop in the dyeing workshop, and asked the shopkeeper to tell the shopkeeper in detail what kind of plant the color was extracted. When the shopkeeper of the dyeing workshop saw Ren Xiaoyao take out 10 silver tickets of 100 taels, his eyes immediately turned red.

What was left to ask was just the general knowledge in the dyeing industry, and he immediately said a lot of messy plants. In this way, Ren Xiaoyao chose these 7 kinds of plants, 4 kinds of color, and 3 kinds of other uses

Ren Xiaoyao has been looking for these three camellia plants for a long time, although the space river water has a miraculous effect, but if you drink too much, it feels like drinking boiled water. So I always wanted to shine some tea trees, but I went into the mountains many times to find them without success.

Tea tea is a traditional Chinese drink, and it was also his favorite drink in his previous life. As the boss of the sales department, I have to socialize every day and deal with all kinds of people. Everyone's hobbies are different, some people love to drink tea and tea, and some people love to drink white wine and red wine.

In his previous life, Ren Xiaoyao generally had nothing to do in his spare time, and he would make a pot of tea and tea to drink, for no other reason, the work in the workplace was fast-paced and stressful. It often causes mental and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, nervousness, irritability, depression, etc., and often takes medicine, causing the body to become worse and worse than before.

Another time he heard a shopping mall tycoon say that drinking green tea would alleviate these occupational diseases, and with the psychology of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he tried it, drank it for a month, and found that it was really much better, and over time, drinking tea became a habit for him.

After that, most of the work, he only dealt with the guests who drank tea, and the other guests who drank were all pushed to the deputy minister, because the deputy minister complained to him a lot about this matter, but Ren Xiaoguan crushed people to death at the first level and ignored him

Coming back to his senses, Ren Xiaoyao dripped a drop of blood on three different tea trees, looking at the thriving tea trees, Ren Xiaoyao showed his white teeth and laughed. Compared to 1,000 taels of silver, Ren Xiaoyao felt that what he got was worth this amount, and silver was a number in his eyes.

Surrounded by wood, Ren Xiaoyao turned his head to look at the silk in the sky, and immediately sent a message to the space, asking him to stop editing this silk and edit another one. This silk was enough for him and Ren Shiting.

I saw that a few white rays of light on the silk dissipated after receiving Ren Yao's order, breaking the silk in weaving. The silk cloth slowly rotated, and the whole silk stretched out, revealing a piece of pure white silk with an area of 200 square meters.

Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the silk stretch, the middle finger of his right hand flashed white, and he took out the universal knife from the storage ring. A message was sent to the knife to tailor the cloth to his body.

However, the first time he made clothes, when he was cutting cloth, Ren Xiaoyao forgot to cut a little bigger, and wasted a few square meters of silk. After learning his lesson, Ren Xiaoyao cut it perfectly, and the silk cloth in the shape of the body on all sides came out.

Looking at the silk cloth on all sides, Ren Xiaoyao took out an iron rod, used his spatial ability to make a needle, and used a few pieces of silk to make a white thread, imitating the earth's method of sewing clothes, and the first silk shirt was completed.

Ren Xiaoyao threw the finished shirt into the river, washed it, and after using the space ability to dry, he immediately put it on his body, and a dry, slippery, comfortable and cool feeling came from the skin, and he was soft and soft on his body.

For a while, Ren Xiaoyao's whole body and mind were comfortable. I've been wearing linen clothes and pants for too long, and I always feel like mosquito bites on my skin. Now wearing clothes made of silk, not to mention how comfortable it is, it feels not far from what men like to do the most.

Coming back to his senses, Ren Xiaoyao looked down at the clothes on his body, rubbed them a few times, and said to himself: "Hey, why don't these clothes have pleats like this, strange, this shouldn't be silk, right?" It's impossible, it's silk."

In his previous life, Ren Xiaoyao had never worn silk clothes, but he bought a dress made of silk for his girlfriend, knowing that silk and skin are soft and smooth, and the touch is soft. But when I rubbed my shirt back and forth, I found that the shirt had no pleats at all, so I had to be suspicious.

Silk is silk weaving, and according to the knowledge of the earth, silk belongs to the silk fabric known as the "fiber queen". Silk fabric is also known as the second skin of people, with good moisture absorption, breathability, skin care and health care effects.

Silk is a kind of porous fiber, so it has good thermal insulation, moisture absorption, moisture dissipation and breathability, and has a certain protective effect on the skin.

At normal temperatures, it can help the skin retain a certain amount of moisture and not make the skin too dry; When worn in summer, it can quickly dissipate sweat and heat from the human body, making people feel extremely cool.

Moreover, silk is a protein fiber, which contains 18 kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body, which is almost the same as the amino acids contained in the human skin, which can help the skin maintain the metabolism of the surface lipid film, so it can keep the skin moisturized and smooth, so it has the reputation of "second skin".

Wearing silk clothes can not only prevent ultraviolet radiation, defend against the invasion of harmful gases, and resist harmful bacteria, but also enhance the vitality of skin cells on the body surface, promote the metabolism of skin cells, and have a good adjuvant treatment effect on some skin diseases.

For example, after a long-term bedridden patient has bedsores, if silk sheets and silk underwear are used, and then the affected area is bandaged with silk, it can play a role in absorbing water and promoting its evaporation, which can maintain the plot of the affected area and speed up the healing of the sore.

And real silk can also protect one's skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays. The snow-white silk spit out by silkworms will gradually turn yellow under ultraviolet irradiation, because the silk absorbs the ultraviolet rays in the sun.

Medical common sense tells people that excessive ultraviolet radiation is extremely harmful to human skin, so the use of silk fiber's ultraviolet absorption performance can achieve the purpose of defending against ultraviolet rays.

However, although silk and silk have so many effects, it can be described as love and hate for people, and its wrapping and dressing are very rigorous, and a little carelessness will ruin an expensive silk dress, and the most common encounter is pleats.

Because the clothes are worn on the body, it is impossible to avoid walking and sitting, grinding and twisting or dragging hard in rough places, resulting in damage to protein fibers, and silk is prone to wrinkles.

That's why Ren Xiaoyao wondered why the silk shirt he was wearing didn't have folds when he rubbed it so hard. I am afraid that this silk is a fake
