It just so happened that Wei Jin was also in the dyeing workshop. She came to buy cloth, planning to make a few coats for the two masters in Chashan and the two younger brothers of the sister-in-law who came to help.

In addition, she also wants to order a batch of blue cloth for the restaurant staff.

Just when they turned around, they heard the steward's words, and when they stepped around, they saw that the vat of dye in front of them was already the best color here for Lao Wu.

"What color does the steward want, can you have a look?"

The steward hesitated, and took out an old piece of fabric.

The color of the fabric was slightly blue, but a little bluish, like a clear blue of the sky after the rain.

On the porcelain, it is the most classic rain over the azure.

However, if the fabric wants to dye this effect, there is no fixed ingredient ratio, so it can only be debugged constantly. If you can't get it, the final effect is not satisfactory, and the old man can't earn a penny as a result, and he loses blood.

Coincidentally, Wei Jin really knows the approximate formula ratio, but if you want to dye the effect, it is estimated that you have to toss for a little and a half months.

The more important question was that she always felt that she had seen the color of the fabric.

Seeing that the fifth daughter-in-law was a little stuck, Wei Jin took a step forward and opened her mouth as if unintentionally.

"Don't you have all the material for this, can't you just do it when you go to the previous house?"

"The girl didn't know that the dyeing shop had been closed for ten years. The master who made this color passed away a few years ago. ”

"This special color scheme should have been handed down from the recipe. Didn't you go to the master's descendants to inquire? ”

"The master has no descendants, and he accepted an apprentice back then, but he just ...... Anyway, no one can match this color anymore. ”

"I can't." Wei Jin stepped forward and rummaged for a moment, "Although this color is very special, it won't be unworthy if you try it more." It's just that it can be difficult to achieve this color. Because your fabric looks a little old, after leaving it for so long, the fabric itself will age, and the color is different from what it was dyed. ”

"It's a certainty, just ask for a seven or eight points."

Wei Jin has heard this many times, some masters don't believe in evil, and the effect that they spent time and energy to get out even he, a layman, knows that it is too far behind.

"It's not impossible if it's only seven or eight points." Wei Jin has been bored lately, and it's good to find something to do.

She directly crossed the fifth daughter-in-law's mouth with the housekeeper and asked if she could leave a little clothing to make a show.

The steward looked at the fifth daughter-in-law, and then at the young Wei Jin, very hesitant.

"Girl, your elder is the master of the dyeing workshop?"

"No, it's not." Wei Jin took the piece of fabric and looked at it carefully, and before she could think about it, she answered casually.

The steward is speechless, aren't you here to make trouble?

The fifth daughter-in-law's eyes were very good, and when she saw the steward, she knew that he was not very happy, so she hurriedly stepped forward to take over the conversation.

"The three girls are also from our village. My men are taught by three girls to fight indigo. Steward, your requirements are too high, my man may not be able to do it, if he can do it, I'm afraid there will only be three girls. ”

These words made the face of the steward, and held Wei Jin high, so that people couldn't underestimate her.

The steward was surprised to hear this.

He is considered well-informed, and the ladies in the master's family also study with the little boys, but he didn't say who knew these miscellaneous.

"Don't underestimate our three girls, her younger brother is only nine years old this year, and he has already achieved fame in showing talent."

The fifth daughter-in-law added a sentence in a timely manner, and this sentence convinced the steward.

"This dye is not a simple plant dye, there is ore powder added to it. I'm afraid your fifth child won't be able to do it, and I'm not completely sure. The main reason is that we don't produce that ore here, and if we want to do it, we have to buy ore from Yuzhou. The cost is too high to be cost-effective. ”

Wei Jin shook his head, put down the fabric, and extinguished his thoughts of experimenting.

The stability of plant dyes is not so high, and she only determined that it should be a composite dye after careful discrimination just now, which is already quite high in ancient times.

"Third girl, if you can make such a dye, I will definitely thank you here."

"No, it's not that I shirk it, plant blue is actually fine, that's all. If you can tell me where the fabric was dyed, I'm almost 80% sure that I can find the right bluegrass pulp. But ore is not the same. Some things don't mean that blue has to be done with blue ore, or maybe even other colors, to react with the sap of bluegrass to get this azure color. ”

She flipped through the piece of cloth, looked up at the steward and smiled, "I'm sure the steward has already gone to find many big cloth shops. There are also many dyeing workshops that can dye azure cloth, and if the other party can make a similar color, the steward will not even let us go of this poor country. ”

When he said this, the steward's face changed for a moment, and he smiled a little wryly.

"I know stewards have no bad intentions. I didn't mean to lie to you, I'm sure some master must have said something similar to you. You can dye it like this, but after washing it twice, the color changes, right? ”

Of course, the rich don't have this problem, and they don't wear washed shirts. But the new cloth will definitely be transparent and permeable, otherwise it will be a shame to wear a shirt dyed blue on the body.

"That's right, what the third girl said, I also heard the master master say in the big dyeing workshop in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They meant something similar to the three girls, and there must have been something else added to the dye. It's just that the world is so big, there are thousands of things, and no one knows what is added to it. Some masters have tried, although the colors made are not the same, they are also very good-looking, but my master just can't look at it, and he must have this color. Those of us who run away on errands for others, what else can we do, we can only find it again. ”

Wei Jin responded with a smile and found an excuse to leave.

When she got home, she said that she was a little tired, closed the door, sat on the bed and began to feel stunned.

She was sure she could make that color dye, but at the same time, she remembered where she had seen it.

This color was adjusted by her own mother, and a batch of cloth was customized by the family's dyeing workshop, which was specially used for her cheap father to make a coat. Because her mother said that her cheap father was suitable for this color, wearing an azure shirt, like a fairy descending to earth.

"Hmph, Qi Xian, it's clearly Chen Shimei, a phoenix man. That's what the skin can deceive. ”

She reached out and pressed her chest, where a frustration was gathering and made her uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, I'll avenge you. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, we women take revenge, as long as we don't die, there is always a chance. ”

With her words, the depression dissipated a little, and then a heavy sadness came up.

"Okay, what are you crying about here? You don't want to be reincarnated and wait, waiting to see what happens to that pair of scumbags. ”

There seemed to be a wind in the room, gently skirting her cheeks before finally resting under her palms.
