Coming out of the Shenlong Temple, Wang Chuan thought about it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe left and right walls of the Shenlong Temple are painted with coiled dragons, trying to give people a visual impact, and the roof is hung with a panbu, and the position in the middle of the shrine is dedicated to the dragon pattern vat. If the vat is not burned, it should be fine to mess around with something to offer, such as a portrait of a dragon or something. Anyway, no one has seen it, so he can do whatever he wants.

He also thought about the paintings on the wall, so he made a pattern of double dragons playing with pearls. A dragon is painted on the left and right walls, and the jar on the altar is a bead. Although the level of his own painting is barely enough to sketch figures, he can't see anyone else in painting. But they haven't seen it, and a random drawing is enough to fool them. Besides, is there anyone in this era who has a higher level of painting than him?

It's just that the paintings on the wall may not be beautiful if you only use the gray ink at the bottom of the pot. If the pamp is only white, it will look similar to a funeral. The plaque bronzing can't be done, but if it's only painted black, it doesn't look very good.

paint, Wang Chuan felt that he had to make several paints or pigments.

Wang Chuan's first thought was the potato. In later generations, the meat was too hard and there were too many lumps, and it had come out of the food ranks and entered the dye and chemical industries. It is also one of the natural plant dyes.

According to different varieties, there are several colors such as purple, red and white. The Dioscorea grown in the River Tribe is all one variety, only purple. That can only make purple first.

After walking around the construction site, there were a lot of injuries, and it seems that there is not enough alcohol. Just dig up some potatoes to make alcohol. If there is alcohol at the festival, the effect can be magnified by one round.

Fortunately, the first batch of potatoes was not dug up when it was replanted in June, and now the first batch can be dug up.

The large-scale digging of potatoes and brewing wine was handed over to the potato flower to organize, and Wang Chuan and Zhuangniu first took a hoe and prepared to dig a little first to try out the dye.

The size of the potatoes that have been grown by manure is not small, and each one weighs four or five pounds when dug out. Wang Chuan cut it open and looked at it, there was more meat and less pimples in it, and the taste should be better than that of the wild one.

The cut one was stuffed into the baby elephant's mouth, and the baby elephant chewed sweetly on the poop. Baby rhinos don't care. As long as you don't pull it, it can eat anything. At this moment, he is happily gnawing on the long vine of the dioscorea.

Knowing that the baby elephant likes to eat potatoes, Wang Chuan dug behind and deliberately put a large amount of mud next to him. After the baby elephant nibbled on one, he couldn't get his mouth to look at the potato that was full of mud lumps. Anxiously stomped his feet and shook his nose, and shouted loudly.

Mother and others, who came to see the potato harvest, laughed from the side.

Seeing that the baby elephant was in a hurry, the mother picked up the muddy potatoes from the ground, patted them on the ground, and then handed them to the baby elephant.

After eating what his mother handed over, he also followed the example of his mother, and rolled up the potato sage dug by Wang Chuan with his nose, and wanted to pat it on the ground, but the nose that rolled the thing was not long enough, and he looked around, wanting to pat it on his leg, but he was afraid of staining the hair on his leg. Later, when he saw the little rhinoceros next to him, he walked over and patted the little rhinoceros on the feet, patted the dirt clean, and stuffed it into his mouth with satisfaction.

The little rhinoceros was slapped with mud on his leg, and he looked confused.

When everyone saw this rare scene, they were amused to laugh again.

The strong bull pushed Wang Chuan and said, "The baby elephant used to forage for food on its own." ”

Wang Chuan said: "It would have been, but it was lazy." ”

In the past year, the baby elephant has grown in a circle, reaching a length of more than three meters. The tusks, which used to have only two bones, are now about ten centimeters long. It's just that it's still the temperament of eating to open your mouth. This is self-slapping and eating, which can be regarded as progress.

The tribesmen brought a few rattan baskets, and when Wang Chuan saw that the soil could not defeat the baby elephant, he patted the soil on the ground and put the dug potatoes into the rattan baskets. The baby elephant had eaten a few and was almost full, and he also followed Wang Chuan's example, patted the soil clean, and put the potatoes into the rattan basket. However, it was still photographed on the leg of a small rhinoceros, which still made everyone laugh.

After digging two baskets of potatoes, Wang Chuan took the baby elephant back to the village.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces, add water to the clay pot and boil them into a paste, and filter the impurities in them with a linen cloth, leaving a pot of purple juice that is purple dye.

However, because the adhesion of such a dye is too poor, the effect may not be too good when used. Wang Chuan dried the dyed linen cloth used for filtration and tried it, and found that the color loss was more serious. To dye a perfect purple cloth, you may have to soak it repeatedly.

The process is too complicated, Wang Chuan knows that people in this era can't master it. So Wang Chuan tried to add something to the dye to change the adhesion effect.

It is said that adding salt to the jeans that have faded in later generations can prevent them from fading, and Wang Chuan added salt first. Nothing has changed. Had to try something else.

After several experiments, Wang Chuan found that adding fish foam gum and tung oil to it had different effects.

When fish foaming gum is added, the dye becomes very sticky, and when applied to the stone and dried, it will form a thin lump that cannot be washed off with water. This is the perfect place to use as a paint.

After adding tung oil, it dries too quickly on the stone, and the color difference is easy to appear before and after. However, it is used to dye cloth, and the effect is first-class. The cloth dyed with this material dries quickly, and it is not easy to fade, and there will be some oily luster. But don't go close to the fire, because the fire is very fast.

It's easy to get hooked with a shiny purple cloth. After seeing this kind of cloth, Qi immediately changed to a purple bust. This made many men salute a lot longer.

In this case, the one with fish foam gum is used as a paint, and the one with tung oil is used as a dye. That's it. Using purple paint to draw two dragons on the wall, Wang Chuan felt quite emotional when he thought about it.

Of course, if it's only purple, it's a bit unpretty. As the saying goes, the big red is purple, and with the purple and no red, I always feel that there is something short.

Red can't be dyed with animal blood, or else there will be a layer of flies attached to it. There is no cinnabar near the tribe, and the red has to find a way to use plant dyes. Wang Chuan quickly thought of madder.

In later generations, there were wild madder plants nearby. Moreover, madder is more light-loving and cold-tolerant, and there should be one in this era. Wang Chuan took the strong oxen around the forest near the tribe for a day, and sure enough, he found the trace of madder on a sparsely wooded hillside.

Madder contains natural alizarin, which reacts with different mineral salts to produce different dyeing effects. Wang Chuan needed red, so he used the most primitive method of dyeing madder red. Cook madder in starch.

Bring the madder grass back to the tribe and soak it in the stream overnight to wash the soil. Then cut into sections and boil in water for half an hour. After cooling, add water, add white rice and boil into a paste.

After letting it cool again, take out the madder, add water and plant ash to the paste and continue to boil, and finally filter out a better red dye.

That's right, it's white rice. The starch in rice reacts with alizarin. You may not be able to get this kind of thing before the autumn harvest, but now that there are eight or nine hundred catties of millet as a base, this is no problem.

The minerals in the plant ash will also react with alizarin.

This dye will have a slightly different effect depending on the madder and the minerals in the ash. Wang Chuan tried to dye the first one with linen, and the color was earthy when it came out. But it doesn't fade, it's qualified.

Later, Wang Chuan tried to make a few more copies, using different plant ashes to add to the reaction. In the end, Wang Chuan ruthlessly boiled it with golden silk nan wood ash, and the effect was bright red as blood, which was extremely gratifying.

But looking at the small pot of dye that came out at the end, Wang Chuan felt distressed even if he knew that golden silk nanmu was not rare in this era. If it is placed in the next generation, such a lot of losers can do such a thing of burning the qin and cooking the crane.

Although he was distressed, Wang Chuan was extremely satisfied with the effect of the last one. I knew that this was what I was looking for.

This red dye and fish foam glue are also good for paint. Tung oil has no effect.

With these red and purple paint dyes, Wang Chuan became full of confidence, and he believed that with these things, it would be no problem to give everyone an unforgettable impression at the celebration.
