Chapter 56: Configuring Pigments

In the face of everyone's laughter, Song Yu was unmoved, he looked at Tang Chu quietly, he knew that this was the one who really did the master.

Zheng Fu was not stunned, he saw that Song Yu was still confident in the ridicule of everyone, so he restrained his smile.

Zheng Fu said to Tang Chu, "Miss, you might as well let him give it a try, if it succeeds, our shop will have a great talent, and if it fails, let the three of them find a way to compensate." ”

Tang Chu nodded, "Shopkeeper Zheng, you can arrange it." ”

Zheng Fu got the order, so he sent someone to the East Street Flower and Grass Store to retrieve a bundle of pepper grass, this kind of grass is not expensive, it is everywhere in the nearby valley, but it takes a lot of effort to soak it and adjust it to the desired pepper red, which is also the reason for the high price of pigments.

"Song Yu, can you really mix the paint? I didn't know you kid was so capable! The guy on the far left asked in a low voice.

The young man in the middle also approached and said, "Song Yu, if you can really make the paint, I will do the dirty work for you in the future." ”

Both of them were a little skeptical, but they were still ready to wait for Song Yu's result with a glimmer of hope.

Song Yu nodded, and then closed his eyes as if he was meditating.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Fu couldn't help but say to Tang Chu, "Miss, how can this person be divine?" ”

Tang Chu shook the folding fan, "It's okay, give him some time." ”

After a while, a guy came back with pepper grass, Zheng Fu ordered someone to prepare a clay pot, and said to Song Yu, "Do you need anything else?" ”

"Thank you shopkeeper, some more white vinegar is enough." Song Yu replied.

After the things were ready, Song Yu poured cold water into the crockpot, and when the temperature came up, he sprinkled a handful of pepper grass into the water, and soon the water changed color.

"Miss, look, the color has really changed!" Shuangxi said excitedly.

"Well, but not yet." Tang Chu was also good, staring at the color of the water in the crockpot.

As Song Yu kept stirring and adding white vinegar, the color of the water changed from light red to dark red, but he still couldn't get the pepper red.

Dense beads of sweat began to form on Song Yu's forehead, and the two guys couldn't help but worry about him.

As time passed, everyone was a little deflated, and now there are few people who are optimistic about Song Yu, and even Shuangxi shook his head.

She whispered to Tang Chu, "Miss, I think this person is going to be smashed into his hands!" ”

Tang Chu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but she was quite patient, she still wanted to give the other party a chance, so she wanted to wait for the final result to come out.

Song Yu saw that he hadn't adjusted it for a long time, and he was also nervous, and he tried to recall the mantra his father told him when he was a child.

As the sun sets, the workshop is filled with the smell of paint, and a tall man holds a young child and a child on his lap.

"Yu'er, you remember, the essentials of our Song family's pigment making are that three high and three low are on the side, and the nine are six shallow and three fires."

The young boy was holding the wooden horse in his hand, and was concentrating on his research, and did not listen to the man's words.

The man doted on the tip of the child's nose and told him with a smile that it was just a mantra, but that it needed one more thing to make a really good paint.

"What's that?" Young, the child asked in a milky voice, at this time his focus was still on the wooden horse in his hand, and he just asked naturally.

The man opened his mouth and said two words.

Song Yu desperately recalled those two words, but it seemed that he couldn't see them clearly when he was in front of him.

What is it, what is it exactly?

Song Yu suddenly held his head in his hands and half-knelt on the ground, and everyone was taken aback by his move.

"This Song Yu can look at it on weekdays, why does it look like he has hysteria!" Someone muttered in private.

"Maybe I flashed my tongue when I said big things, and I don't know how to face it now." Someone gloated.

Song Yu couldn't hear the comments of others at all, and at this time he was rapidly searching for his own memories.

"Miss, I see that this Song Yu can't prepare the paint, let's go to Tangzhong in a while, yesterday the guy in Tangzhong told me that he made a new dim sum made of peach gum, let us try it." Double Happiness said a little impatiently.

It's good for my own lady to open a restaurant, every time I have a new dish and a new snack, I have a share of it together, and in the long run, I'm afraid my tongue will have to be raised, Shuangxi thought a little complacently.

"Peach gum, yes, it's peach gum!" Song Yu raised his head suddenly, looked at Shuangxi with a pair of blood-red eyes, and was so frightened that the other party exclaimed in surprise and hid behind the chair.

"Double happiness, don't be afraid." Tang Chu clenched her hand to comfort the other party.

Soon, Shuangxi calmed down, but she still couldn't get angry when she saw the culprit who scared her.

"Miss, can you borrow a few peach gums from the villain?" Song Yu asked respectfully.

He remembered that the most important thing his father had said was peach gum.

Tang Chu squinted his eyes and motioned for Shuangxi to go to the restaurant to get him some peach gum.

Shuangxi pouted and left, and everyone in the shop regained their calm at this moment, and no one dared to whisper, for fear that the low pressure of the young lady of the main family would vent on themselves.

After a while, Double Happiness came back with a small box of peach gum, and the Tang family's Zhuangzi planted a lot of peach trees, so this peach gum was not a valuable thing.

Song Yu carefully took the small box of peach gum with both hands, and said to Tang Chu seriously, "Miss, please give me another chance, I want to try again." ”

Tang Chu looked at Song Yu's face, he seemed to be a little excited, his face was slightly red, and his hand holding the peach gum trembled a little.

"Okay, as you wish, give you one last chance, if you still fail this time, don't blame me for being ruthless." Tang Chu said with a stiff face.

"Thank you, Miss!" Song Yushi bowed and thanked him.

Next, Song Yu began to refine the pigment again, and the method was different from before. Directly, he kept adding cold water, rotating the red pigment water in the crockpot clockwise.

The white vinegar was added little by little, and everyone couldn't see the doorway inside, but it was obvious that the water in the crockpot was starting to turn pepper red little by little.

After the water cooled, Song Yu fished out the pepper grass stalks from the crockpot and filtered the pigment water three times.

Song Yu poured a small box of peach gum into the pot, and after the peach gum softened, he mixed it with a wooden stick.

After a while, the thin pigment water turns into a viscous pepper-red pigment.

Tang Chu stepped forward and looked at the results, it was really pepper red, and it was even better than what she had set in the paint, and the color was corrected.

Zheng Fu is right, she may really pick up a talented person this time!

"Shopkeeper Zheng, look, how does Song Yu compare to Sun Ji's pigments?" Tang Chu asked.

Zheng Fu was also amazed when he looked at it closely. "Yes, miss, this is better than Sun Kee's paint shop."

He looked at Song Yu, who was waiting for the trial, and suddenly smiled, "Song Yu really didn't expect that you still have this ability, and you can be bent here!" ”
