Chapter 644: Gardenia and Red Vine
Gardenias are a good thing.
When the white gardenia blooms, the sweet taste can be spread far and wide, which can be comparable to osmanthus.
Moreover, compared to the small osmanthus flowers, the large gardenias are more ornamental.
The gardenia that grows after the flowers bloom is very good for making tea.
Of course, for the current Han Cheng, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that the gardenia is very well colored.
Buckle two or three gardenias, then throw them into the pot, and boil them with water to dye all the water yellow.
Two or three gardenias have such a big effect, put more of them, and the color will get better.
Now the linen cloth spun by the tribe has begun to be dyed one after another.
It's no longer just the gray-brown color dyed with stinky mud, but also the yellow dyed with gardenia water.
Dyeing linen cloth with gardenia water was not something Han Cheng came up with, but the grass in the tribe.
The reason is that when I drank gardenia tea, I accidentally sprinkled yellow water on the solid linen clothes of the new work, leaving a little yellow at that time.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and so does the grass, wearing the newly made linen clothes, making her happy, and even walking seems a little cautious.
Now that my good clothes are soiled like this, it would be strange if I felt better.
Immediately go back to the house, take off the clothes, and wash them with water.
As usual, the yellow gardenia water fell on it, as if it had taken root, and the grass was almost washing the clothes, and the yellow stained on it could not be washed off.
At that time, Qingcao's sadness was not to mention, looking at the clothes that were dirty as soon as he was put on, tears came out.
Later, I didn't know how to make an idea, so I boiled water with more gardenias, and then threw the clothes into it and boiled it with water, and later, a very beautiful color of clothing came out in the Qingque tribe.
As soon as this color appeared, many people in the tribe rushed to imitate it.
For a time, the clothes in the tribe were all yellow.
Many times this is the case, bad things are not necessarily bad things, and at the same time, many things are discovered unintentionally.
Nature is selfless, rich in things, able to provide people with a lot of what they need, provided that you discover it and make use of it.
Compared with later generations, the plants and animals of this era are undoubtedly extremely rich, even the people of the Qingque tribe, under the leadership of Han Cheng, have made a lot of arable land around the tribe, and this situation has not changed in any way.
The red pigment falls on a vine.
The vine is reddish all over, and after peeling off the skin and soaking it in water, a pot of water will soon be dyed red.
Based on this characteristic, Han Chengcheng gave this vine the name of a red vine.
With the three plants of indigo, gardenia, and red vine, Han Cheng also has the three primary colors he needs.
The characteristics of these plants have been discovered, and the latest are more than a year old, so they are preserved in the tribe.
Even if spring has just arrived at this time, it doesn't matter if a lot of vegetation hasn't budded.
With those stored before, it was enough for Han Cheng to use it.
After going in and out for a while, three clay pots were erected in the courtyard, and most of the pots were filled with water, and the water was soaked in red vine bark, gardenia, and indigo.
The flames burn underneath the pot, and as the water temperature rises, the colors contained in the three plants are quickly forced out and melted into the water.
Han Cheng was worried that the color would not be enough, so he boiled hard, boiling the water until only about a quarter of the water was left.
I found a brush and paper, dipped the boiled paint and smeared them on the paper, the color was not particularly positive, but it was enough.
Finding three spoons and a few small bowls, Han Cheng scooped up some red pigment and scooped out some cyan, and the two were mixed together and stirred to turn into dark cyan.
I scooped some yellow paint and put it in, and the cyan paint turned black again.
Even if Han Cheng knew in advance that the pigments of these colors would change color when mixed together, he still felt very novel when he really operated it himself, and he couldn't help but start scooping out several pigments for various combinations for a while.
After tinkering for a while, I thought about it and found a small brush and several clean normal-sized brushes.
Each time a pigment comes out, it is written down on paper what kind of pigment is used, and how many pigments are used.
Then use a clean pen to dip it in the back and draw it to leave the color.
After coming here, after a few years, Han Cheng has developed the habit of taking notes.
It's not that he loves to learn, but if you don't keep a record of many things, you won't be able to keep improving.
"God... Miko ......"
Han Cheng, who was concentrating on drawing a color on the paper, suddenly heard such a sound behind him, which immediately scared him into a tremble.
When I turned my head to look, I saw Wu, this guy had been standing quietly behind Han Cheng for a while.
Why don't you catch your rats, why are you here to be scary? How can you not do your job like this?
Han Cheng, whose mind had not completely calmed down, complained about Wu in his heart.
Wu Ke didn't care what Han Cheng complained about him in his heart, at this time, he was completely stunned by these three colors and the magical changes after they were mixed together.
"Miko... This... This ......"
Wu stretched out his hand and pointed to the paint bowl, his expression was excited and incredulous, and he couldn't say anything.
Seeing Wu's appearance, Han Cheng generously forgave Wu for scaring him just now.
The joy of 'bullying' primitive people plus the old man instantly rose to his heart and filled his chest.
"Well, this is just a small trick, it's not worth talking about......"
Obviously, he was also very surprised by the changes in the pigments that he had not been exposed to before, but at this time, Han Cheng was very stinking and shameless, pretending to be light and light.
It's as if these things are really not worth mentioning.
The upright Wu was really frightened by Han Cheng's indifferent appearance, this thing was already very magical in his opinion, and the Divine Son actually said that it was just a trivial matter?
In this way, a slight comparison, the huge gap was immediately revealed, and the worship of the Son of God in my heart suddenly turned into a surging river......
The stinky Han Dashenzi satisfied his vanity a lot through Wu's reaction, and then he stopped 'bullying' the elderly.
He handed the spoon in his hand to Wu, who commanded him remotely, and let the curious Wu do these things for him.
Different colors of water, when mixed together, will actually change to another color, this magical transformation surprised Wu Wan.
So, after some tossing, by the time Han Cheng remembered what was going on, the three pigments of red, yellow and blue had been cleaned up.
