Yellow mutton is not delicious, the fishy smell is heavy, and there is some firewood. But everyone else ate happily. It would be better if cumin and chili peppers were added, but these two things, one in the Americas and the other in the Western Regions, are now in vain.

When leaving, the eighth child prepared a separate one and asked Miss Xiaohan to bring it, probably this is a meeting gift. Xiao Han thanked her, she had a good impression of this person. The one who can sit with Fusu and barbecue must be someone that Fusu trusts, and she has to show enough attention.

On the way back, Fusu said, "The white soil you want has been found." ”

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, she didn't mention the matter of white soil to Fusu, right? She just asked Lao Deng to inquire, but Lao Deng has not replied to the letter so far, and she doesn't know what the specific situation is.

Fusu said again: "Now you don't have to worry, you can test as much as you want, I can provide it." ”

At this time, Han Zhou remembered that the last time he did the test, he was worried about running out of white clay, and he was afraid that the kiln would fail, and Master Yingren would not have the confidence to do it with her. At that time, I remember that I had talked to him a few words, and the two had a misunderstanding. I didn't expect him to take it to heart. It's been done beautifully, and it's done quietly.

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" She grumbled.

"What a big deal is this, just tell people to go down and find it!" Fusu said disapprerovingly.

Hmph, the prince is very majestic!

"Of course it's a big deal, it's a big deal for the girl, it's a big deal for the eldest son, with this thing, the official kiln or the kiln in Xianyang can achieve leapfrog development. Childe is waiting for me to help you make money! ”

"Girl, is that exaggerating? Is there such a history? Fusu didn't believe it.

"Of course, this thing is ready, and it will be shipped abroad, it is more expensive than gold, don't dare to ask for a price!"

Fu Suhu asked suspiciously, "The girl knows again?" ”

Han Zhou stuck out his tongue, and just now he was happy and talked too much, so he had to say curtly: "Childe just bragging to me, but when it comes to trading, of course, the asking price must be high, and the counteroffer is normal." It's just that we can produce, but the Huns can't, and neither can the people of the Western Regions, they don't have a reference standard, so whatever price you say should be what price it should be. ”

"Xiaohan, I found that when it comes to making money, your eyes will light up, but have you thought about it, if you produce exclusively, you can make exclusive money, if you give your experience and ideas to the official kiln, you will earn less, don't you feel distressed?"

Han Zhou pouted, and Fusu thought about her pattern too narrowly. "Childe, what do I need so much money for? I want to make money, some of them are the way to make money, I am making a little money to relieve my boredom, do you understand? Besides, isn't Childe a credit for doing a good job in the official kiln? Isn't this for the sake of Childe? ”

Fusu patted his chest with great satisfaction and said, "I knew it was like this, but I just wanted the girl to say it herself!" ”

Well? Trapped? Han Zhou glanced at him dissatisfied.

Fusu laughed. Such a lovely woman, who was wholeheartedly planning for him, how lucky he was to meet her. It's a pity that I haven't agreed to marry him yet, it's really infuriating!

He has to take a good look at her, all the men in Xianyang, one counts as one, and one destroys one by one, until all Xiao Han's hesitation is defeated. Regarding the words of his parents at home, Fusu believes it, but he also believes that the main problem is not here, but on him. Xiao Han wants to help him more than Xiao Han likes him, she seems to be too pessimistic about the future and dare not tie her future to herself. He thought he should have the ability to make her see a better version of herself.

As a prince, he is also very pitiful, but simple things have put so much pressure on the other party, especially Xiao Han, who thinks so deeply. But can he choose?

……

Hanzhou took the yellow mutton and went straight to Sister Artemisia's house. She didn't like to eat it, and she couldn't store it, so she might as well satisfy the hunger of those children.

Today's harvest is three big bags of flowers. Mu Mu is a good manager, he only pinched the flower heads, not the stems and leaves, and only one kind of flower in a bag, so that she could handle it much easier. How to deal with her hasn't done it, today this is to see the flowers, temporary intentions. But if you want to think about it, you always have to pound it into juice, in order to prevent fermentation and mold, you can dry the juice into powder, and you should be able to use it with water when you use it.

That's all she can think about. The safest thing to do is to come over tomorrow and try to dye it.

Sister Artemisia is very happy, and the children are also very happy, a large piece of yellow mutton is enough for the whole family to eat. Mashing the flowers to extract the juice is like playing for the children, and they agree to it immediately.

Hanzhou has walked too far today, and he is really tired, so he originally wanted to talk to Mr. Hu about expanding his business. But, forget it, the money is inexhaustible, not bad for a while.

Passing by Li Si's small study, it was not early, and the old man should have returned.

Entering the small courtyard, Lao Deng happened to come out of it. Lao Deng smiled and beckoned to her. Since the last time Lao Deng helped her deal with those dead chickens, the two have become a lot closer.

"Girl, you have made me inquire about something."

"Oh?" Hanzhou's face was happy, and today there are two pieces of information about kaolin.

"That place is in the north of Xianyang, two or three hundred miles away from Xianyang, belongs to Yongzhou Tongguan, there is a subordinate named Chen San is the eldest son of our family, his hometown has this kind of thing, according to the news he came, the ore layer is not thick, there are three or four feet, but everywhere it is, it is not difficult to mine. When they were digging coal when they were children, they would dig this kind of white clay mine, and there are also called Guanyin soil. ”

Hanzhou understands that many kaolin in the north are associated with coal mines, which is more common in Shuozhou and Huairen in Shanxi, and she is not familiar with the situation in Shaanxi, so she is at a loss. Listening to the direction and distance of Lao Deng, this place is almost the part of Tongchuan.

It's really related to Tongchuan! It's a pity that I haven't been to Tongchuan in this life or in my previous life. Just seen on the map.

Entering the study, the probe looked inside, there was nothing on the shelf she wanted to copy, Li Si was reading, she was going to sneak away without disturbing the old man.

"Creeping, it's like catching ghosts!"

The old man said leisurely, and Han Zhou had no choice but to stop his feet and turn around, saying, "Didn't I want to disturb you?" ”

"I think you're a good spy. Who sent you to me? ”

The old man was in a good mood, and he seemed to be in a good mood. There was a teacup on the kang table, which she brought back a few days ago. The green tea soup and white cups look very eye-catching.

Han Zhou saw that he was in a good mood, and also joked with him, "I was sent by God to accompany your old man, and my main job is to amuse the boring man." ”

Li Si smiled, this girl can do it if she wants to, do it well, and take care of her business well. Now it's almost fashionable to use things from her store. Whoever has a set of white porcelain tea sets for hospitality will have a special face. A few days ago, I went to Lao Hou's house, and Lao Hou bragged to him, saying how expensive and rare this thing was. He gave him face at the time and didn't say anything. If it is said that this thing will be available in his family as soon as it is produced, then Lao Hou's expression does not know how wonderful it is.

"Xiao Han, I heard that Gongzi Fu Su went to your shop?"

Han Zhou was stunned, can't he hide these eyes from any action? She didn't want to hide it from anyone, she just came and went in a bright way. The problem is that someone is staring at it after all.

"Ah, sometimes I walk around the store. Or buy something, or just take a casual look. ”

Li Si smiled: "Fusu has a good character, and being a husband is the best choice." It's just not as good as my son. He couldn't beat my son since he was a child. ”

Hanzhou was thundered by this, how to take this?

After a moment of froze, she asked, "Sir, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, go and rest, it's important to make money, and your body is important!"

She escaped with a puff of smoke. Behind him was the laughter of the old man.

When Old Man Hu heard Xiao Han's idea, he agreed very much. Women's products are classified into one category, ceramic products are classified into one category, and the products are distributed to thousands of households according to the type of customer and consumption level.

Recently, sales have been increasing, and the goods in the store have gradually become fashionable, and many people only know that her daughter works in that store, but they don't know that the store is opened by him, which is a bit of a stealing fortune.

Some of the family members of the men do some housework at home and have nothing else to do, the men run outside with their sons all the year round, and the women live a boring life. Xiao Han can find some work for them to do, which is also a way out.

After thinking about it, he just did it, and the old man immediately agreed to talk about the store, preferably not far from each other, so that they could take care of each other.

All that's left is training and recruiting.

Xiao Han is responsible for design, training, and outreach to several related households.

Sister Artemisia's eldest daughter is called Leek, the second daughter is called Dou'er, and the third daughter is called Miao'er. When Hanzhou went, the three plants had already cleaned the house and began to try dyeing cloth. They didn't dare to try the new cloth, they used their old clothes, and several girls tied it up and dismantled it, for fear that it would be damaged.

Sister Artemisia is a neat person, and she found two neighbors with good needlework to make Hanzhou painting shirts first, and the one with fast hands has become one. Han Zhou immediately gave the neighbor his wages, and the man happily took the new cloth and left. Hanzhou put some money in Sister Artemisia, and only said that she would give it at this price, and then Sister Artemisia gave an account. As for the remuneration of Sister Artemisia's family, it will be calculated separately according to the dyed garments.

The boys let Sister Artemisia go out, so it shouldn't be too noisy. Han Zhou took out the prepared tools and Dou'er into the back room, lay on the dining table, and began to teach. She drew thin lines with charcoal powder on a new piece of cloth, drawing a series of geometric patterns in succession, filling the corners of the pattern with regular diamond-shaped petals. In the large space in the middle, a rabbit in the style of New Year's pictures is drawn, and the rabbit is painted with windmill-like patterns, and the whole picture looks rich, full, and serene.

"You see, this is a curtain. Hanging on the wall, it's a painting. Let's start with the curtain. ”

Dou'er nodded excitedly. Her hands trembled. Han Zhou and her went to the courtyard to find an old door panel, drew a geometric figure on it, first let her practice lines, and then drew a few cute animals on the wall, and asked her to follow the drawing. That's all for today's lesson. She had to go back and experiment with batik. The master of the blacksmith shop has already made the copper knife.

The flowers brought back from the farm had been mashed, and Sister Artemisia carefully filtered them with a small amount of water and dried them in a pot in the corner. Spring and summer are fine, and in winter there are no flowers, and these dyes may not be easy to find. I asked Sister Artemisia, she used to dye cloth only in black and blue, and there were no bright colors, but I had seen others dye it purple, and I don't know how people made it.

Han Zhou thought about it, but he still had to go to the pharmacy.

She's a regular customer at the pharmacy anymore. People know that she didn't come to heal, and there are always some strange reasons. She asked an experienced pharmacist what kind of things were easy to excel in the water, and she wanted to dye her clothes. She was told that comfrey, safflower, madder, yellow mast, gallnut, sumac, and horseweed were all fine. Some use roots, some use stems and leaves, some use flowers, and some use fruits.

There were so many things available at once, and it made Han Zhou happy, plus the mineral pigments she had before, she had the basic color. I bought some miscellaneous and happily went home, and her dyeing process laboratory was about to open.
