The Yan family's dyeing workshop in Lin'an City is closer to the laboratory of later generations in nature, so the area of this workshop is not very large, most of the time it is stained here with raw materials, and then stored in some different warehouses, such as damp or dry places, to test the durability of the color of the cloth and the problem of fading and fading.

Jin Se had been here several times, so the Yan family's dyeing workshop was already familiar to her, and as soon as she got down from the carriage with Yan Qingcheng and You'er at the door, she immediately motioned for Ye Qing to follow her to the front, as if Ye Qing was treated as the master here.

The fabrics of different colors that had not been dried were hung high, as colorful as a rainbow in the sun, and the shopkeeper nervously ran out of them, and his hands and even his face, including the apron tied to his body, were stained with dyes of more or less different colors.

When he saw Ye Qing next to Yan Chengcheng, he was obviously stunned, and unconsciously there was a trace of vigilance in his expression, but when he was facing You'er and Jinse, his expression was much more natural.

With some scruples, he looked at Ye Qing again, as well as Li Heng and the others behind him, the shopkeeper frowned, his expression was quite contradictory, and his mouth opened several times without speaking.

"It's okay, just say it directly, those secret recipes were all provided by him to our Yan family." Yan Tingcheng glanced at Ye Qing, who was looking around indifferently, and said lightly to the shopkeeper.

Even when the Yan family was not separated, the various cloth shops in Lin'an and even the Great Song Dynasty would also carry out some secret means in dyeing, which is why the dyeing workshop is not as large as the cloth workshop, and it also distinguishes a separate area.

Although people at this time did not have enough understanding of intellectual property rights, even the most traditional dyeing, each family has its own technology and tradition, so each family basically follows its own method of dyeing, and the dyeing method is naturally impossible for outsiders to easily see, let alone see what the secret recipe looks like.

After hearing Yan Qingcheng introduce Ye Qing like this, the shopkeeper was stunned again, this was beyond his expectations, he originally thought that the person who gave the young lady a new secret recipe would be a respected craftsman, or someone from the palace, who would have thought that it was such a ...... The secret recipe given by a very tall person, I'm afraid it's not a liar, right?

But even if he thought so in his heart, the shopkeeper's face was still changed to a smile and saluted Ye Qing, and Ye Qing naturally returned the salute casually, only then did he hear the shopkeeper say with some uneasiness: "Miss, we have tried the recipe you brought over these days, but it still doesn't work, and even ...... Even the first two recipes not only did not brighten the color of the fabric, but also became more ugly. Miss, please come here. ”

Ye Qing looked indifferent, he didn't have to be surprised and disbelieving after being vetoed at all, he still walked forward behind Yan Chengcheng easily and indifferently, or listened to You'er whispering something to him.

And he didn't think that he would succeed the first time, and he was not a genius, but his original thesis involved some of Michel Eugène Scheffleur's scholarship, so he remembered this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know about it, let alone refine what Michel Eugène Scheffleur called the indigo dye.

Looking at the deep, dark-colored fabric in front of him, it was like an old fabric after it had been permanent, after his dye-stained fabric, Ye Qing reached out and touched it, and his fingers were instantly dyed.

"So good at me? Have these fabrics been washed? Ye Qing rubbed the dye on his hand, as if he admired his skills, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked a little self-deprecatingly.

The shopkeeper glanced at Ye Qing's Yan Chengcheng, and then said with a wry smile: "I have washed it, and it is still like this every time I wash it." ”

"What about the others? Did you use your dyes later? These two should have been the red and blue dyes that were given to you at the beginning, right? When he said this, Ye Qing himself was still an old god, and he didn't feel blushing at all.

At the beginning, he gave Yan Chengcheng red indigo and blue indigo after purification, but the fabric in front of him was obviously difficult for people to distinguish between red and blue, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a dark brown cloth, just like the color of the kelp, and it was also an extremely hard cloth that was extremely uncomfortable to touch.

"It's ......." Facing Ye Qing's question, the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, and after glancing at Yan Chengcheng next to him several times, he still squeaked and refused to speak.

"Just say it if you have anything, I won't blame you." Yan Tingcheng's face was calm, but in the eyes of Ye Qing, who was already quite familiar with her, it was obvious that everything was not as simple as she thought on the surface.

"Alas...... After trying it twice, the shopkeeper Liao didn't use it again, and the other dyes sent over were all thrown away by the shopkeeper Liao. Shopkeeper Wei looked at Yan Qingcheng and said helplessly, and then glanced at Ye Qing, who was still indifferent.

"That'...... Is there still that kind of red and blue? Ye Qing pondered for a moment, looked at Yan Qingcheng's calm cheeks, and then asked.

"No, they were all thrown away by the shopkeeper Liao, saying that they couldn't be used at all, so it was better to abandon them." Shopkeeper Wei looked at the fabrics that were the same color as kelp, and said helplessly.

However, Shopkeeper Wei can already be regarded as saving face for Ye Qing, if according to Shopkeeper Liao's original words, Ye Qing is a complete charlatan, who is here to take advantage of the danger of the Yan family to cheat money, and he should report to the official!

"Oh...... So that's the case, what about the shopkeeper Liao? Ye Qing glanced at Yan Tingcheng, especially after he finished speaking, Yan Tingcheng tilted his head to the side a little uncomfortably, and instantly understood what was going on.

Shopkeeper Wei didn't even squeak this time, and turned his head directly to look at Yan Qingcheng, who was a little uncomfortable, as if asking for her opinion, can you say this?

After all, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and now the Yan family has not been divided, but the two shopkeepers and craftsmen in the dyeing workshop have been divided into two factions, plus Yan Hongsheng and Yan Honghu have come here repeatedly to win people's hearts before they said that they were separated, so now, in the entire dyeing workshop, there are few people who can work hard.

And even some people, including the shopkeeper Liao in the mouth of the shopkeeper of Na Wei, have not been here for three days, under the pretext that they have been unwell recently, but in fact, they have already begun to look for a new dyeing workshop with Yan Hongsheng.

Yan Tingcheng also reacted after the shopkeeper Liao left, his second uncle and third uncle had already begun to plan, and even before her brother went to Binzhou to take up his post, he had already begun to win over the shopkeeper Liao in the dyeing workshop.

Ye Qing didn't ask any more, but looked at the few pieces of cloth that were said to be dyed with his own dye, reached out and touched it again, and asked, "Shopkeeper Wei, you should have been immersed in this industry for decades, right?" Judging by your old vision and experience, how can these fabrics be dyed so beautifully...... What makes people happy? ”

Ye Qing said one by one, one by one you old, so that the shopkeeper Wei was a little flattered, he had worked in Yan Mansion all his life, although the eldest lady and the son respected themselves, but they did not respect themselves so much, one by one.

So some flattered shopkeepers Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said that he couldn't do it, and then when he talked about his "professionalism", he immediately became serious and focused: "This is very simple, as long as there is indigo, you can mix it with some other materials, whatever material is in it, you can dye this kind of hard cloth, just like the oil-paper umbrella, as long as you give it ...... inside." ”

"Understood." Ye Qing didn't wait for Shopkeeper Wei to finish speaking, and pointed to Yan Chengcheng, whose face was starting to turn a little pale, and signaled that Shopkeeper Wei didn't need to say anything.

Although Shopkeeper Wei is honest, he is not a fool, the whole dye workshop, what is the situation now, he can still understand it somewhat, not to mention that he has more to deal with Shopkeeper Liao, what is Shopkeeper Liao doing, he even knows better than anyone else in his heart.

So halfway through speaking, after being interrupted by Ye Qing, he suddenly realized: Which of these fabrics were dyed with the dye brought by the boy in front of him? It's completely a ghost behind someone's back! Originally, I thought it was a problem with the dye, but now after being reminded by this son, how can the shopkeeper Wei not know what is going on!

After watching Shopkeeper Wei, as well as Jin Se and You'er go out, in the spacious warehouse of Nuoda, except for some neatly placed fabrics that test color changes, only Yan Chengcheng and Ye Qing were left.

After looking at those who had left, Ye Qing first sighed relaxedly, and then walked to the fabric and smelled it, anyway, he couldn't smell anything, but he had nothing to do now, and he also needed to give Yan Qingcheng time to calm down the anger in her heart.

is the so-called bystander Qing Authorities fan, whether it is Yan Chengcheng or Yan Hongsheng, they all pay attention to the separation of her second and third uncles, and forget that her second uncle and third uncle will dig the foot of the wall at this time.

"What day will your second uncle negotiate with your third uncle?" Ye Qing pulled out another piece of fabric, and regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, he directly spread it out to see if the color was consistent.

"Three days later." Yan Qingcheng looked at Ye Qing's actions coldly, it was obvious that her current mind was not on the piece of fabric that Ye Qing had wasted, but completely on the shopkeeper Liao who had been away for three days.

If the expectation is good, the dye that Ye Qing gave him at the beginning should have been taken by Shopkeeper Liao and defected to her second or third uncle.

"I'm going to have to chase it back! They must not be allowed to snatch those dyes away easily! Yan Tingcheng watched Ye Qing roll up the fabric again, and the cloth that had been stained with dust obviously couldn't be used anymore, maybe he could only keep it for himself.

"Is that necessary? Take it and take it away, ....... ”

"That's the Yan family's only chance! If even the secret recipe is lost, the second uncle and they may take their place and become another imperial businessman, and my family will be a complete failure, I can't let my father down, let alone let the Yan family be destroyed in my hands because of the separation! Yan Tingcheng's eyes were firm, his arms drooped, his fists were clenched tightly, and the whole person looked a little trembling because he spoke hard.
