Chang Xile is not a professional in printing and dyeing, but he only understands it after reading a lot of messy books, and he has mastered the traditional dyeing technology, which is slightly more advanced than here but not as good as modern technology. But the good thing is that because the traditional technology requires natural materials, which can be found here, it is much more convenient.

He had learned about the printing and dyeing level of the world through Guò Shenjia Buzhuang before, and the level of printing and dyeing technology here was about similar to that of the Sui and Tang dynasties, although the colors were already quite rich, but they were much worse than those of the Song Dynasty, especially the Ming and Qing dynasties. He only needs to move the level of the Ming and Qing dynasties here and dye the colors that are lacking here, which is enough for the dyeing workshop in Taoyuan Village to survive in this world.

He doesn't plan to come up with something too advanced, and he doesn't want to get rid of others too much, as long as he is at the middle and upper level where he is not easy to be eliminated and has his own world, but is not too conspicuous. Therefore, he didn't plan to use the complicated painting technique, he didn't know much about it, and he also needed to train special craftsmen to draw, which was too troublesome.

Painting techniques are mostly for the rich and noble, although the profits are quite high, but there are also many troubles. It is better to put the target group on the small rich family, which has some economic strength and is not so picky.

However, those are long-term plans, and at present, we still have to master the technology of dyeing cloth first, and practical actions are not the same thing as talking on paper.

The first thing Chang Xile wants to do is to dye the cloth with blue grass, and this is the most suitable time to pick blue grass.

The roots of the blue grass are the very common Chinese herb Banlan root, and there are many wild blue grasses in the mountains near Taoyuan Village. People here also dye cloth with bluegrass, but not everyone has mastered this technique. Even if it can be dyed, it is only a very simple method, and it is easy to fade when washing.

There are very few people who have mastered this skill, and in order to ensure that they will not teach their apprentices to starve to death, most of them are passed down from their own families and will never be passed on.

What Chang Xile has to do is to enrich the colors, and use the techniques he has mastered to fix the colors. As long as these two goals are achieved, he is confident that the dyeing workshop will be able to sustain itself for a certain period of time. In the future, we must rely on the wisdom of the people, and we cannot rely on them for everything. Even if it is in a temporary predicament, as long as it does not hurt his muscles and bones, he does not plan to make a move.

Otherwise, once the village loses its ability to innovate, if he is still alive and has goods in his stomach, it is fine, but if he is not there one day, or he can no longer come up with new things, and everyone is habitually dependent and does not know how to think about it, then the village will slowly decline after all.

This situation is that he does not want to see him, although he does not care about the aftermath, but he also hopes that the village he has built can survive for a long time.

Everyone knew that Chang Xile was looking for blue grass, so they knew that he wanted to dye cloth.

The next day, under the leadership of Xing'er, the children of the Chang family and the trained scouts went to the mountains to pick blue grass with small baskets on their backs.

After the training, everyone was relieved that the children entered the mountain, not only because of the increase in force value, after all, they are still young and now they are powerful, and it is definitely not pleasing to really encounter fierce beasts, and they were able to hunt before because Chang Yu was in control. So it's more because after training, everyone is more organized, and no one will fall behind for a while. As long as everyone can unite and don't go deeper, it's fine.

The boy scouts were young, but they were no worse than adults in this kind of work, and everyone was slowly stuffed in their baskets that night, but the blue grass picked in one day became a mountain.

Fortunately, Chang Xile will use chemical processing to take out the pigment of the fresh leaf species of plant dye for dyeing, otherwise people like here will only use the fresh leaves of plant dye to soak and ferment for direct coloring, if it is too late to process, it will only cause waste.

"Uncle, we can find more tomorrow, and we found a place this afternoon, and it grows a lot!" Yang Zi excitedly showed his skills.

Chang Xile smiled and touched his head, "You guys are so capable, but tomorrow it's almost enough, you don't have to carry it so full, what if you don't grow tall." ”

Hearing the words that they were not tall, the children's original fighting spirit suddenly dissipated a lot.

Yang Zi held back for a long time before he spoke, "Also, it's not heavy, it won't grow, it won't grow tall...... Right? ”

Everyone believed in Chang Xile's words, but they felt that Chang Xile had finally found a job for them, but they were not allowed to do a lot of work, and they inevitably wanted to struggle in their hearts.

As they grew older, the children of the Chang family became more and more respectful of Chang Xile, and they all wanted to show themselves in front of him and do their part. But the conditions of the Chang family are getting better and better, and they don't have to do anything anymore, which makes them feel very uneasy.

Although this is not the case, the Chang family is now in good condition, and the family has hired one or two people to help, and the work in the field is usually tossed by someone, and the Chang family rarely works in the field on weekdays except when they are busy with farming. Everyone can't be busy with the things at hand now, so the things at home and in the field are handed over to Chang Xixing and his family, and the two of them will definitely not be busy, so they can only hire people.

But the children also have to do what they can on weekdays, instead of being raised as young masters as soon as the conditions are good. It's just that they have to train every day and study and do homework, so naturally they can't do a lot of things for the family like when Huaizi was his age in the past. And many people in the village are still half old, and they still play a big role, and they feel that they are very useless when they compare them.

Especially living in the light of constant joy, I felt that I was too far away from this uncle, and there was nothing to do at home, so when I heard that they were going to pick bluegrass, I was so happy that I couldn't wait to pick all the bluegrass in the mountains. If it weren't for the previous training that made them accustomed to obeying orders, they would have to come back when they came, otherwise they would only be able to pick it up until night.

Chang Xile patted him on the shoulder, "I know you want to help the family, but you are still young and are not in a hurry for a while." In the past, I couldn't do it, so I had to start from a very young age and do the work of an adult. Now that we have the conditions, it is naturally different, and the most important thing for you at this age is to study hard. The more knowledge you learn, the better you can do more for your family in the future, but now you will be slower when you are in a hurry. ”

Chang Xile has said this truth many times, but the concept of hard work is deep-rooted, coupled with the influence of the environment, they still can't help but be a little anxious. But even so, when I heard Chang Xile say this, I also responded.

When Chang Xile said these words to the children, An An and Ping'er listened quietly. Although they have been here for more than half a year, their temperament is still very quiet, they rarely talk on weekdays, and they always want to do something for the family.

Chang Xile felt that it would not be enough to keep them at home, but they didn't know how to play, and no matter how much encouragement was useless, he simply rushed to the school. Anyway, now that they are more than five years old, they can also go into the school to learn some things, and it doesn't matter what they learn, they can also have something to do.

These two children have gone through great hardships, although after more than half a year of recuperation, their bodies and bones are half better, and their little faces are round again, but their already shy temperament is even more silent. For people outside the three rooms of the Chang family, he always looks trembling and vigilant. The catastrophe had taken a terrible toll on their young minds, and they still have nightmares at night.

Originally, it was easy for such an old child to express it clearly, not to mention such a terrible thing, so until now, the Chang family doesn't know what happened at that time.

It's just that they probably guessed from the dream words and their words that they were pushed out by the widow, and the widow also asked them to find someone with the mark of Taoyuan Village. Not only that, but also saw that his mother was hacked to death, stained with blood, and then the whole house was burned by a fire, so the two children are now very afraid of blood and fire, and dare not approach.

Although the two children are young, they also know that they are now under the fence. In particular, widows have always instilled in them the concept of repaying their kindness, so they always want to do something for the Chang family. But often the family didn't let them do it, and let them go to the school. Although they don't know what it means to study, since they are benefactor, they have to do it well.

The two children are smart, otherwise they would not be able to find Taoyuan Village a year or two ago at a young age, but the road is not close and it is not easy to find. And after wandering outside for nearly a month, he managed to survive.

The two villages are not cities, and it is still possible to survive by begging all the way. It was a mountainous green forest, and there was no one to beg for them, and there was no ready-made food for them to eat. The fact that they relied on the roots and wild fruits along the way, and that they were not taken away by wild beasts or starved to death is enough to prove that they are very extraordinary.

Now they are working very hard, and even though they have only been in the school for two or three months, the new master who taught them has praised Chang Xile very much. It is said that these two children learn very quickly, but ordinary children can't learn anything at all in two or three months, but they can already be at the same level as children who have been studying for more than half a year.

Because there are few teachers and not many students, it is only divided into two classes. The new master taught beginners under two years, and Song Bangcheng taught old students for more than two years. And there are several groups of students, all of whom attend classes together. After teaching this batch first, then the other, the others do their homework in the class.

It is also because of this that Ping'er and An An also learned the courses of the children who entered the school first.

Chang Xile smiled at them and said, "You two don't think about sneaking out to pick blue grass, otherwise I'm going to be angry." ”

After saying that, the two children lowered their heads.

Chang Xile couldn't understand where he could, he just wanted to integrate the two children into them, so he deliberately talked to them, but he didn't expect these two children to really have this idea. Such an older child was still in preschool in his previous life, and he didn't know anything and was coquettish in his parents' arms, but their minds were already so heavy.

Chang Xile hugged the two children in his arms, "Good, I know you are very capable, today I heard the master praise you for being very smart, study hard, and come back with the same exam as me in the future!" ”

Yang Zi couldn't help but interject, "Uncle, Ping'er is a girl, and she can't be examined." ”

Xing'er smiled: "Of course Uncle knows, and I still need you to say it." ”

Yang Zi scratched his head embarrassedly.

Chang Xi laughed, but he didn't want to fool the child who was still ignorant, if he really went to his heart, wouldn't it be harmful to find that he couldn't achieve it in the future.

"If you can't take the exam, you can teach others to study hard, and when the time comes, the girls will let Ping'er teach, and the boys will let An'an teach."

Although Chang Xile said this as a joke, he really hoped that there would be a few qualified teachers. The basic education in Taoyuan Village has a long way to go, and it is difficult for the external masters to last long, so it is best to teach your own family members. In this way, everyone's world view is more consistent, and even Song Bangcheng's thoughts are not too consistent.

The literati here more or less still have the temperament of this era, and they feel that everything is inferior, only reading is high. Even if they think they don't have it, some words and deeds reveal that this is not what he wants.

Now that he has time, he occasionally goes to the school to hold an ideological and political education class to ensure that their thinking does not deviate. Otherwise, if one or two of them want to study for the purpose of scientific examination, then he will really cry. It's not that he underestimates the children in Taoyuan Village, but the reality is that if these children go to the exam, it will be very remarkable if they can pass one or two shows, and it will be a matter for the whole village to put on lights.

In the entire Taoyuan County, there has not been a village that has produced two talents, let alone two, many villages have never produced a talent. The reason why Song Bangcheng's family is so respected is because the three generations have all produced talents, so people look up to them.

Ping'er and An An nodded seriously, their eyes unusually firm.

Chang Xile saw their eyes that did not match their age, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously. He didn't expect that these two simple sentences would be deeply engraved in the hearts of the two children, and they would implement them seriously.

He was being made speechless by Chang Yu at this time.

That night, Chang Xile clearly felt that Chang Yu's love was not right, and this kind of wrongness began after he had spoken to Ping'er and An An for a while. I didn't pay much attention to it in front of my family, and when everyone started to sleep, they entered the house and asked.

As a result, before he finished speaking, he was knocked down by Chang Yu. gnawing at him, although he has to make trouble every three or five nights now, Chang Xile obviously feels that it is different from usual, making him seem to feel the beast nature that Chang Yu is difficult to see on his body now, it is a real beast nature.

"Hiss-Chang Yu, you open it for me."

Chang Xile was bitten on the neck, and he was really angry now.

Although Chang Yu was very reluctant, he obediently climbed up from Chang Xile, looking at Chang Xile with gloomy eyes.

"Say, what's going on today?" Chang Xile said with a stern face.

"Lele, do you want to adopt Ping'er and An An?"

Chang Xile didn't react for a while, and said inexplicably: "Didn't you adopt a long time ago?" Why bring it up now? ”

"No way!" Chang Yu was resolute.

Chang Xile was stunned, although Chang Yu has less sense of identity than ordinary people and lives more self-consciously, he will not be sympathetic when he hears what happened to Ping'er and An An like others. Only those he agrees with, he cares. But he won't stop others, as long as it doesn't hinder him, he doesn't have any opinions.

But now it will be opposed?

"Why?"

Chang Yu stared at Chang Xile with an indignant expression, "Lele is mine." ”

Chang Xile was stunned, and after a while, his face turned green, and he stepped forward directly to twist Chang Yu's ears.

Chang Yu didn't fight back, and said resolutely: "Lele, you can only have me!" ”

Chang Xile became even more ruthless when he heard this, Chang Yu's ears were directly red and swollen, and he was not distressed at all.

He instantly transformed into a roaring horse and roared into Chang Yu's ear: "Do you treat me as a brute!" How could I possibly do anything to such a small person! Wipe! ! Depend on! ”

Chang Xile was really angry, although he could understand that Chang Yu was very possessive and didn't know the ethics behind it, but when he thought about being misunderstood like this, he was very annoyed. Moreover, he was already a little weak-hearted. After all, Chang Yu also watched him grow up, but he only deceived people in a few years, and he still did this and that from time to time, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he was a little dirty.

The current persistence is also to comfort myself, so that I don't feel so guilty, a typical self-deception.

As a result, Chang Yu is now suing him for not allowing him to adopt two children, for fear that he will treat the two children the same as he treats, he is really ......

Chang Xile kept playing gibberish in his heart, didn't know how to vent, and went straight to the house. I want to drop something, but I can't bear it, so I can only go back and forth like a headless fly.

Chang Yu was frightened now, he had never seen Chang Xile like this, and hurriedly hugged Chang Xile and didn't let him move, "Lele, I'll be good to you, you don't want them to be good." ”

Chang Xile's brain broke directly, and he slammed his head directly at Chang Yu, with a very strong force, causing stars to pop up in front of his eyes.

Chang Yu didn't expect Chang Xile to attack suddenly, seeing that Chang Xile almost knocked himself unconscious, he was distressed, and kept giving him a sigh, "Lele, are you okay?" If you're mad at me and hit me with a stick, don't hurt yourself. ”

Looking at Chang Yu, who was completely confused about the situation in front of him, Chang Xile felt that he was quite stupid now, and sighed deeply and tried his best to calm down.

"Is your brain white? Am I that kind of person? ”

Chang Yu blinked, and Chang Xile patted his head, "Didn't I tell you before, this kind of thing can only be done with a beloved, unless you don't love and don't be together, you can only do it with one person." How can you misunderstand me about adopting those two children and treating them like you in the future? I'm angry when you say that, you're questioning my character. ”

Chang Yu grinned, his white teeth flashed with a smile, and he hugged Chang Xile tightly, "Lele, great, you only need me!" ”

Chang Xile couldn't help but roll his eyes, he was so excited that he looked like that ghost because he was a thief, he knew what Chang Yu looked like, and he almost died in one breath. It's so comfortable to be serious with this silly boy.

"If you do this again in the future, I'll be so angry that I don't want to pay attention to you."

Chang Yu let go of his hand, his eyes were a little pitiful, "Who let Lele you always let me in......"

Chang Xile almost didn't pop out his eyes, "Didn't I say wait a minute, you're still young!" ”

"But they say I'm old enough, and if I don't do that with my beloved, I'm either incompetent or I don't like it enough."

Chang Xile suddenly regretted letting Chang Yu mix with a group of big men, what kind of nonsense to listen to!

He had misunderstood the group of old men in the village, who was Chang Yu, and who dared to tell him this. In their eyes, Chang Yu's status is no less than Chang Xile, which is a natural worship of force.

But Chang Yu's hearing is too good, usually these old men are tired of training, so they like to get together and say some little yellow jokes. Men gossip no better than women, and they like to tell some meat jokes. And the pairing of men and women in the village is not taboo, and some are more open than male and female couples.

After all, women are thin-skinned, and if anything is spread in their room, they won't have a face to see people, even if it's a joke, not everyone can afford it.

But men are different, the two men who are together basically do not have the concept of who is a husband and who is a wife, and most of them attack each other, and they are more shameless than the other.

They actually avoided Chang Yu to say it, every time they talked about these topics, Chang Yu was far away from them, normal people would never hear it, where did they know if they happened to encounter something abnormal.

Chang Yu didn't understand it at first, and he didn't take it to heart. But some topics really hit his impatient heart, so listening to people's nonsense every day has become a compulsory course. In addition, he also watched the live version before, and now he is an old driver in thought.

"That's them, do you want to live with me or with them?"

"With you, of course." Chang Yu cut the railway.

"That's it, you have to listen to me when you're with me, and if you listen to them, go to them."

Chang Yu pursed his lips, although he was not very happy, he still agreed.

Chang Xile also knew that this was not humane, Chang Yu's body was different from ordinary people, and he was more vigorous. It's an impulsive age, so it's even more hot. Otherwise, according to Chang Yu's temperament, he would not agree to his things and always wanted to regret it.

But he really couldn't get past that level in his heart, and before he was eighteen years old, he felt that he was sinning. Tasting it is his limit, and he can't bear it any further. Who made his mental age much older than his actual age, and he was a cranky person.

"If we do it again, we'll sleep separately."

Chang Yu was completely wilted now.

In order to show punishment, Chang Yu didn't let Chang Yu touch him for nearly a month. As a result, it was still me who was unlucky, and the day I broke the ring, the thing was worn out.

He felt sorry for his future while hurting at the time, and now that it's all like this, will he still be able to get out of bed alive then......
