Chapter 161: Experimentation, Success
Fortunately, although Seventeen Niang was in a hurry, she was not in a hurry for quick success, and she bought three feet of cotton cloth and six taels of Sumu and came back, as for the medium vinegar, this Chunfanglou has it.
The two glanced at each other, ignoring those curious little ladies, and both came to the kitchen and kicked Aunt Zhang out by the way, whether it was Zhang Yi or Li Kexin, they didn't want too many people to know about it, not only for fear of spreading it, but also for not wanting them to worry, after all, women just like to think too much.
"Let's get started." Looking at the hot water and the vigorous fire under the stove, Seventeen Niang suddenly became a little nervous, and she didn't dare to put it down for a while while holding the oiled paper bag containing Su Mu.
In the end, Zhang Yi reminded him helplessly, and Seventeen Niang let it go.
Su Mu and boiling water tumbling together, as anxious as Seventeen Niang's heart, until the color of Su Mu came out little by little, Seventeen Niang was relieved, Zhang Yi reminded Seventeen Niang that you can put the fabric at this time, Li Kexin immediately broke up the fabric, and then put it in, seeing that the fabric was soaked in orange-red water like the setting sun, it seemed that there was also some orange color, Li Kexin was relieved.
But the movements in his hands did not stagnate at all, Seventeen Niang slowly stirred the boiling water, and Zhang Yi had already turned the fire under the stove into a small fire at the right time.
Two hours later, both Zhang Yi and Li Kexin were a little sweaty, with the help of Zhang Yi, Li Kexin put the dye, dyed water and cloth into a pot that was not used but had been cleaned, covered the lid, poured an appropriate amount of vinegar into it, and the next thing to do was to wait.
They know that even if they are anxious now, they can't change anything.
"You've been in the kitchen mysteriously for an afternoon, and you won't even let Aunt Zhang in, what are you doing?" The eldest lady looked at the two strangely, I don't know if it was her delusion, these two people have been becoming more and more mysterious recently.
Seeing that Zhang Yi and Li Kexin were sweating, the aunt's sense of blame was gone, and some were just angry at Zhang Yi and Li Kexin for not cherishing themselves, "Hurry up and go to the shower and change clothes, how can I get cold for a while?" ”
In Dazhou, where the level of physiotherapy is not well developed, a cold is a fatal disease.
"I'll go." flattering and smiling at the eldest mother, Zhang Yi and Li Kexin said in unison.
Shaking her head helplessly, the eldest lady looked at the backs of the two of them leaving and muttered softly, "The gods are mysterious." ”
Zhang Yi went and returned, "Auntie, remember not to let Aunt Zhang move the pot in the corner, I'll tell you what's wrong tomorrow." "It's not clear whether it's successful yet, so don't let the eldest lady worry with him.
"Okay, the eldest lady will tell Aunt Zhang, go ahead." rubbed it on Zhang Yi's head, and the eldest mother secretly felt that the child had grown up and had his own secrets.
"Eldest sister, what are they doing Zhang Yi?" As soon as Zhang Yi left, Wu Niang and Liu Niang came up and asked the eldest lady curiously.
"He said he would tell us tomorrow." smiled indifferently, the eldest lady turned to entertain the guests, as for Zhang Yi's side, the eldest lady didn't care too much, Zhang Yi is a man, he always has to be independent, and now he has his own thoughts, and the eldest mother doesn't bother.
The next day is coming in a blink of an eye, after breakfast, the little ladies went to do their own things, Zhang Yi and Li Ke met at the kitchen door as expected, the two glanced at each other, and found a worried look in each other's eyes, as if they were thieves, quietly squatting next to the pot, with excitement, Zhang Yi lifted the lid.
The water-red fabric appeared in front of the two of them, but this time was not the time to be excited, whether it was dyed or not, it would not be known until after cleaning, without hesitation, Zhang Yi got up and went out, and came back with a basin of water after a while.
Under the gaze of Seventeen Niang, Zhang Yi rinsed the piece of fabric, only a slight floating color was lost, and the bright red color on the fabric did not disappear at all.
It was, and it worked!
The two looked at each other excitedly, "Seventeen Niang, with such a bright fabric, it will definitely be able to make Xiao Niang's beauty go to the next level!" ”
There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised, and Li Kexin is naturally the same, glaring at Zhang Yi with disgust, "What are you talking nonsense." But the smile and joy in his eyes were not fake.
"Is this true? Do you dye it? Holding the piece of cotton cloth dyed by Zhang Yi and Li Kexin, the eldest mother looked at the two of them in disbelief, and the answer she got was yes, and the excitement in the eldest mother's heart was beyond words.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is not like the previous dynasty, the status of the workers is relatively high, and they are about to be on par with the peasants.
After calming down a little, the eldest lady was able to understand the reason why Zhang Yi did this, and excitedly hugged Zhang Yi into her arms, "Zhang Yi, without you, there would be no Chunfang Mansion now!" ”
Not only did these words not disgust the little girls, on the contrary, the little ladies all looked at Zhang Yi and the eldest lady with a look of approval, they are women, and the temptation of beautiful clothes to them is second only to beauty, so when they saw the fabric, they were already ready to move, fantasizing about how beautiful this bright fabric would be when they wore it.
Listening to the meaning of Zhang Yi and Li Kexin, there seemed to be more than one bright color, and they couldn't help but become more excited, but they didn't go to Zhang Yi, but surrounded Li Kexin, who was also a woman, to ask for an understanding.
There is no way to be entangled, Li Kexin cured the excuse and said, "It's all paper kung fu and haven't been tested, sisters, don't worry." Li Kexin herself knows the attraction of beautiful clothes to women, and even herself, isn't she also excited?
Receiving the resentful eyes of Seventeen Niang, Zhang Yi immediately stepped forward to relieve the siege for Seventeen Niang, "It's useless to talk more, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day, why don't you try it yourself today?" Saying that, she gave Seventeen Niang a look and asked her to distribute the method of dyeing plants and trees to the little girls, "But the little ladies should not neglect the guests." ”
Seeing that those little ladies seemed to be going to buy something in the next second, Zhang Yi couldn't help but add a little more in a cold sweat, but even so, it didn't offset the enthusiasm of many little ladies.
However, the little ladies still know the priorities, and now there are still guests in the building, all the little ladies can do is to give the recipe to Zhang Yi one after another, and let Zhang Yi buy the things he needs to use back, of course, the silver money is not less for Zhang Yi.
Even the eldest lady, who has always been steady, didn't say anything when she saw the little ladies like this, but just instructed Zhang Yi to come back early and build a few stoves in the backyard, so as not to have a dispute when the little ladies boiled dye.
