Shen Lang couldn't help but look at Tian Shisan again, because he represented the will of the black-clothed gang Tian Heng.

And just now when Shen Lang was making dye, Jinxiu Pavilion Lin Mo betrayed him and sent someone to notify the Xu family to come, Tian Shisan obviously saw it, but he didn't have any intention of stopping it, let alone reminding Shen Lang.

Therefore, at this time, Shen Lang was facing three behemoths.

The Xu family, the Lin family, and the black-clothed gang Tian Heng.

So now the smartest thing for him to do is to admit that this recipe is stolen, and then immediately go to carry out the great cause of upgrading the soft rice, and then take revenge madly after being powerful.

Because Xu Qianqian agreed in front of the officials of Xuanwu City, if Shen Lang confessed to his guilt, he would not be guilty of everything.

She is a person who cherishes her reputation, if Shen Lang confesses, she will definitely not attack him in person today, she will only let Tian Heng secretly dispose of him, so that at least Shen Lang will be safe today.

But!

Want to splash this basin of dirty feces on Shen Lang's head, and let him spit on himself?

If you can't do it, Shen Lang will definitely not be like this.

Shen Lang looked at Xu Qianqian and asked, "You said that my new formula for the golden dye was stolen, what evidence do you have?"

The head of the Xu family sneered: "You Shen Lang is just a waste who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and my Xu family has been in the silk cloth business for decades, and I am the best at dyes." This golden dye formula is developed by me and Qianqian painstakingly, I don't know how much manpower, material and financial resources have been spent, it took several years, we hide this secret, just want to have a surprise in the monarch's weaving house. However, I didn't expect you to steal my family's property, molesting my maids, and even stealing the dye formula that is related to my family's lifeline. ”

Then the head of the Xu family said coldly: "Qianqian, this new formula is so important, why did you put it in the drawer?"

Xu Qianqian said: "I'm sorry father, I had complete trust in Shen Lang before, and I didn't know that he would do such a thing." ”

Then, she looked at Shen Lang and said, "When I was in the Xu family, there were servants who bullied you, so I whipped them and ordered anyone who dared to say anything bad about you to be kicked out of the house." You have no one to take care of in the Xu family, I don't dislike you for being mentally retarded, wooden and stupid, I come to talk to you every day, I am so good to you, why do you want to do such a thing? Even if you abandon you in order to avenge me and take revenge on me personally, why do you want to cut off the lifeblood of my family? Besides, if you don't do those ugly things, how can my Xu family drive you out?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the officials present were a little weird.

However, for the words of the head of the Xu family and Xu Qianqian, half of them believed it.

The Xu family was indeed proficient in silk dyes, otherwise their silk would not be exclusively for the monarch's weaving mansion. And they have also heard of Shen Lang's reputation as an imbecile who does not learn and has no skills, so they also firmly believe that this new formula was researched by the Xu family and stolen by Shen Lang.

Shen Lang said slowly: "You don't have evidence, and I don't have evidence, but everyone will believe that this new formula was researched by your Xu family, and I can't argue." ”

The head of the Xu family smiled secretly in his heart: "It's good if you know." ”

This thing is really cool, not only did he get a wonderful golden dye formula for nothing, but also justifiably put Shen Lang in prison by the way.

Suddenly, the head of the Xu family said in a cold voice: "The truth of the matter has been revealed, arrest someone! Under torture, I don't believe in this waste and don't confess." ”

"How anxious is the head of the Xu family?" Shen Lang said with a smile: "Although it is difficult for me to argue, it is easy to prove it!"

Then, Shen Lang looked at Xu Qianqian and said, "Miss Qianqian, you are proficient in dyes, so let me ask you, which color is the most difficult?"

Xu Qianqian said: "The most difficult color is, of course, purple. ”

That's right, the most difficult color to dye in ancient times was purple, not yellow.

Of course, it's not that you can't dye purple, in ancient China, purple dye was first used with comfrey root, but the color was inferior. After that, purple dye is made with purple conch, and the purple color is more beautiful.

Qi Henggong likes to wear purple clothes, and at that time, one purple cloth was worth five white cloths, which was expensive and rare.

In the West, purple dyes were made from dyed seashells, and the last queens of the ancient and Ptolemaic dynasties were also very fond of this purple, not only their clothes, but also their sails were dyed purple.

But whether it is dyeing conch or dyeing seashells to refine purple dye, the cost is extremely staggering, just one gram of dye requires 300 dyed seashells.

Therefore, in ancient times on Earth, purple dyes were extremely rare and expensive.

At this time, the world in which Shen Lang lived had not yet found a way to extract purple from dyed seashells and dyed conch, so where did the purple dye in this world come from? It was directly made by mixing blue dye and red dye.

But the dyeing effect is really not flattering, because the dyes of these two colors are not very clever in themselves, and although they are mixed together, although there is purple, the effect is even more mixed. The first is that the dyeing is uneven, the color is dull and clumsy, and the most important thing is that the wet fastness of the two dyes is not the same, so purple silk is often easy to fade.

Shen Lang said: "Purple dye is more difficult than yellow dye, right?"

Xu Qianqian said: "Of course!"

Purple dye is known as an insurmountable problem in the cloth and silk world of this world.

Shen Lang said: "It's very simple to prove if this golden dye was stolen by me, let's conquer the purple dye together." Your Xu family uses the power of the whole family to make purple dye. I only have one person, and I don't have any money, so I make purple dye at the simplest and lowest cost, and then in front of a few people present, see who makes the most beautiful purple dye?"

As soon as these words came out, several officials present nodded in agreement with this method.

Xu Qianqian and the head of the Xu family glanced at each other, they wanted to directly put Shen Lang in prison, and they didn't want to compete at all.

Suddenly, the head of the Xu family sneered: "Why should we promise you? Waste our time, take it directly, and be tortured in prison if you don't believe you don't confess." ”

If there were no officials present, then Shen Lang's method would not work, but there were several officials present, and there was still some face between the officials, especially one of the officials, Shen Lang had some memory and understanding of him.

So, Shen Lang kept looking at the youngest official, if I remember correctly, this person was in charge of the prison in Xuanwu City, and he had just been promoted, and he still had some sharp energy on his body.

Seeing Shen Lang's gaze, the young official said: "Master Xu, let him try it, if he can't make better purple fuel, then it proves that his previous golden dye recipe was stolen, and he will be arrested directly." ”

As soon as the young official spoke, the head of the Xu family suddenly looked cold, and glanced at this official seriously, this person is really young, and his brain is tendoned.

However, even if he was unwilling in his heart, it was difficult to refuse, after all, the official had already spoken.

And he never believed that Shen Lang would dye anything, and no one knew Shen Lang better than Xu Qianqian. This yellow formula may be obtained by Shen Lang from which corner, and the Xu family is the most professional in this regard, so Shen Lang will definitely lose, and he will die early and late.

"That's Lord Elin's. The head of the Xu family said: "See how long this waste can be delayed?"

Shen Lang said: "If the purple dye I make at a low cost is better, what does that prove?"

Xu Qianqian was unwilling to say: "That proves that you didn't steal the golden dye formula, we wronged you." ”

Shen Lang said: "Then you will have to admit the slander, and you will have to apologize to me." ”

The head of the Xu family said coldly: "Let's talk about it when you win." ”

Shen Lang said: "Well, it's limited to three hours! After three hours, the truth will be revealed!"

"Yes!" said one of the officials present.

The head of the Xu family said: "Go to the house immediately, extract the best workmanship, and Qianqian will personally sit in charge, and make the best purple dye." ”

"Yes!" Xu Qianqian said.

This time, the Xu family is going to use the power of the whole family.

And Shen Lang was still only one person, and said to Lin Mo: "Boss Lin, I want to borrow your kitchen again." ”

"Of course. Lin Mo said.

......

After Shen Lang entered the back kitchen, he took out his secret weapon.

The best source of purple dye, litmus lichen.

This is a kind of moss, which is everywhere and is worthless at all, but the purple made from this material is the most vivid, lively, and beautiful.

In eighteenth-century England, Cuthbert stumbled upon a bryophyte that could make purple dye, and it worked incredibly well.

Since then, this purple dye extracted from litmus lichen has dominated the dye industry for more than 100 years, until the chemical industry has advanced by leaps and bounds, and there is a cheaper synthetic purple dye.

So why did Shen Lang prepare litmus lichens in advance?

Because this is his preparedness.

Although the possibility of Lin Mo betraying him was very small, he had not made such mental preparations before, so he secretly prepared a killer weapon, and now he really used it.

Shen Lang crushed the litmus that had been dried, and then boiled it with coal ash and urine.

It didn't take long to arrive at a pure purple color.

Next, brighten with alum.

Soon, the cost was low, but the beautiful and wonderful purple dye came out.

Compared to the purple dye of this world, I don't know where Gao Ming is.

Then, Shen Lang picked up a piece of colorless silk and dyed it in the dye, and after the dyeing was completed, it was then dried under the sun.

Soon, purple silk appeared.

What a wonderful purple one, so bright and vivid, noble connotation.

Completely killed the purple silk of this world.

However, Shen Lang has to do more than just purple.

Just one kind of purple can win the Xu family, but it's not cool to slap your face.

He seized all the time and directly used the materials of Lin Mo's family to create seven kinds of dyes, to dye the most gorgeous, the most mysterious, and the most magical rainbow silk!

That is, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple are dyed on the same piece of silk. If you dye it in segments, if you are fast enough and precise enough, the rainbow silk will be extremely stunning and elegant.

Although he is not a professional dyer, he is indeed a dye enthusiast, but when he was in the Silk Museum, he went to play for more than half a month, and indulged in it for a long time as a very interesting interest class.

And when Shen Lang entered the Xu family before, he saw workers dyeing cloth every day, leaving relevant memories.

The most important thing is that the alien laptop in Shen Lang's mind has information in it, and every step and every material is clearly written.

So, although he can't be the most professional and the best, it's enough.

Three hours later, Shen Lang's purple silk and rainbow silk were all dyed.

Purple silk is enough to win Xu Qianqian.

And this rainbow silk is completely killer.

It is unprecedented in this world, and this amazing effect is enough to crush the silk of the Xu family into slag!
