Yang followed Mu An's instructions and comforted, "Son, my mother knows that you are uncomfortable, but we still have to rely on them to support you, so bear with it first." ”

Mu An covered his eyes that were held by gauze, and said unwillingly, "I know my mother." ”

Lin Qian went out directly to find Mu Luan.

There was no one around today, only a woman wearing a hat stood in front of Mu Luan gracefully waiting for him to make cakes, and there was nothing to talk to.

Lin Qian stepped forward and asked, "Does Miss Wang think that our cakes are so delicious that she comes every day?" How much do you plan to buy today? ”

Seeing that Yuzhu's basket was almost full, he pretended to be surprised, and said, "Miss Wang really likes our cakes, and she buys so many every time she comes, she really takes care of our business."

Miss Wang, if I'm not mistaken, did you take away one of our rice baskets when you came to buy cakes again and again? You see, you come every day, we don't want to be so stingy, but we are a small business, and we have to bother you to bring that basket tomorrow. ”

Lin Qian said that Wang Wan'er was a little embarrassed, bit her lip tightly, turned to her, and said softly, "Little girl, I'm really embarrassed, I will bring it tomorrow." ”

Yuzhu took Mu Luan's packed cakes, put them in the basket and covered them, and said, "Miss, ten have arrived." ”

Lin Qian watched Wang Guan Erlian turn around and leave, and shouted, "Miss Wang, come back the day after tomorrow!" ”

Mu Luan quickly made a finger cake, smeared sweet sauce, stuffed it into her hand and said, "Hurry up and eat!" ”

Lin Qian felt hot and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Mu Luan was quick and held it for her to bite.

"Aren't you hot?"

Mu Luan doted, "What's this?" Hurry up and eat, you must have come without eating. ”

Lin Qian took his hand, blew it, took a bite, because it was too hot, rolled in his mouth a few times, looked up to the sky and opened his mouth, fanned hard with his hand, and waited until it was cold before he began to chew.

Seeing this, Mu Luan blew cold for her and let her eat with confidence.

Wang Wan'er hadn't left yet, he stood on the bridge with Yuzhu and looked into the distance, trembling with anger, and threw his sleeves away.

The two closed the stall and went to the dyeing workshop.

Xia Qin directly pulled Lin Qian into the house and asked the housekeeper to entertain Mu Luan.

"Little girl, you're here, I've prepared everything you said, are you going to do it?"

Lin Qian shrugged and said, "I don't understand, you are an expert!" ”

Xia Qin nodded and said, "That makes sense, then you give me a hand and we'll try to dye these threads with color." ”

Lin Qian reached out and touched the thread, "This thread is a little rough." ”

Xia Qin glanced at it and said, "Yes, those are all twine, ordinary people are wearing linen, and it is generally dyed of the whole cloth, according to your recipe, I asked someone to get some twine." ”

Lin Qian shook her head and asked again, "How versatile is cotton?" ”

Xia Qin weighed the dosage according to the recipe, put it in the cooking pot little by little, boiled until it boiled, and controlled it into a low heat.

"Little girl, you're really good at this!"

Xia Qin took a spoon and stirred and scooped a small spoonful, and saw that the color had begun to develop, so he began to debug it with other colors, and started to cook in another pot.

After a while, Xia Qin had already set up six small stoves, and Lin Qian helped her take care of three.

"Sister, what did you use to make dyes before?" Lin Qian sorted out the twine and cut it into sections by following her words.

Xia Tan put down the twine and scissors, stirred the stove and said, "It's the indigo you saw in the flower field, and the other colors are some colored minerals, and the price is very expensive!" ”

Lin Qian was making calculations in her heart, and to put it bluntly, she had to be careful in her life.

"Then I've saved you a lot of money!"

Xia Qin said generously, "Since this is the case, I will be compassionate, if it succeeds, I will sell you whatever you want." ”

Lin Qian finished cutting the last twine and said, "This is what you said, you are not allowed to regret it!" ”

Xia Qin was a little stingy and said, "It's not okay to have three in and three out of a big house!" ”

Lin Qian got up and stirred the stove and said, "Then I want two in and two out." ”

Xia Qin said righteously, "I am a principled person, the house is your home, what is the matter with me helping you to buy?" ”

Lin Qian stopped and said, "Tease you, I see that the time is almost up, I'll try it first!" ”

Xia Qin extinguished the other stoves little by little and watched from the side.

Lin Qian wrapped a rag and poured it into a porcelain bowl from the stove, drained the petals through the strainer, put in an appropriate amount of snail ash, stirred well, and soaked all the twine with tweezers made of bamboo, and so on.

Six different colors of petals boiled out of different colors, and several petals boiled out of the color is still very close, depending on what kind of color can be dyed by adding snail ash.

The two said something again, and Xia Qin was always curious to look at it, and there was a gradient effect.

Lin Qian and Xia Qin clasped their hands, very excited, and said, "It's successful, it's successful!" ”

Xia Qin said, "Little girl, your recipe is easy to operate!" ”

Lin Qian still had concerns, the dye was dyed, and she was afraid that the color would fade, so she proposed, "When it's dry, let's wash it, if it doesn't fade when we wash it, we can really succeed." ”

Xia Qin nodded.

The two took out the dyed twine and put it on the bamboo pole one by one.

After a period of drying, Lin Qian seemed to magically take a spoonful of two different colors and put them on the same plate, showing a different color from the porcelain bowl.

Xia Qin said with a wit, "If that's the case, wouldn't we be able to mix endless colors, little girl, you are really my lucky star!" ”

Lin Qian explained, "Actually, not all colors can be combined, the most important thing is the three colors of red, yellow and blue. Have you ever seen a rainbow? ”

Xia Qin nodded, and Lin Qian pulled her to the dye vat in the courtyard to pick colors, explaining while practicing, "The seven colors of the rainbow are actually blended with red, yellow and blue, you see." ”

"I didn't think that if it weren't for you, I kept insisting that you can't mix colors, otherwise the dyed cloth wouldn't be sold."

The two sat together under the cloth in the courtyard, and Lin Qian said, "Did you only buy these colors of mineral dyes?" ”

"How could I just buy that?" Xia Qin took her to the treasury and boasted, "I said I had a lot of silver. ”

Lin Qian looked at a jar of sealed wine and said, "You are not afraid of wasting it if you buy so much?" ”

"Why, I can only be regarded as a warehouse here, and the big dye shop is elsewhere. Strange to say, I only feel at ease when I stay in the dyeing workshop, so I often dye some fabrics by myself and have fun. ”

Xia Tan lowered his head and touched the jars, as if he was caressing his own child.

At this time, Lin Qian felt more and more that Xia Qin in front of her was her mother in her previous life, and what her mother had been thinking about all her life was the business of the dyeing and weaving factory.

Xia Qin closed the door, pulled her to her room, took out the neatly dyed cloth from the closet, and said, "I dyed it myself, I haven't thought about what to do, how about you help me come up with an idea?" ”
