Those chicks had just grown fluff for a few days, and if it continued to be cold like this, she was afraid that she would freeze to death, so she had to think of a way to get the nest where the chicks were going to stay alive.

This is what Xu Tiantian is worried about, these Xuanye have already been done. The two men sawed the wood, nailed it into a small box, spread some firewood in it, and put two rabbit furs.

This little chick can't be kept in Xu Tiantian's house all the time, the stove is the warmest place, but you have to pay extra attention to it, and you have to guard against wild cats every night.

Aunt Chen came over happily and said that her fungus had been exchanged for twenty copper coins, and Xu Tian was surprised. Aunt Chen was cheated a lot, but she was afraid of affecting Aunt Chen's mood, so she only said that she and Xuanye helped her sell it together when they went to the county in the future, and Aunt Chen thanked her again and again.

Put a few taels of silver and some broken silver taels on the table, Xu Tiantian counted them carefully, and had some worries, and when the spring came, she was ready to buy a ewe, but now these broken silver and copper coins, plus these two taels of silver, it may be enough to buy a ewe, but if there is another thing, there will be no expenditure.

The dyeing of the cloth promised to the proprietress has not yet started, so she has to hurry up, but fortunately she is only going to dye two colors.

She had read the book before, and the materials needed to dye the cloth were not unusual, and the fuel was just some grassroots.

Although it is winter, the vitality of this grass is tenacious, and it is everywhere, so naturally there is no shortage of these.

Xu Tiantian was ready to dye two colors first, one azure and one indigo, these two colors were the most common in modern times, but they were uncommon in ancient times.

After thinking about it, early the next morning, Xu Tiantian got up early in the morning, picked up Shen Qi and Xuanye from the kang together, and prepared some grass roots first, Xuan Ye didn't know what to help, Xu Tiantian only asked him to wash the grass and separate the grass from the grass roots.

The grass that indigo needs is butterfly drunk, and the butterfly drunk is in full bloom at this time, and the part of the young shoots can be picked again after only half a month's effort.

With raw materials, it is natural to need things to dye cloth, which is indispensable lime.

Regarding lime, Xu Tiantian is not worried, after all, all you need to sell tofu is lime water, go buy two pieces of tofu, ask the boss for a bag of lime, or carefully inquire where it is sold, and it will be done.

After preparing everything, Xu Tiantian took the lime and asked Xuanye to prepare two noodles, poured the two together, and made a paste.

Those grass roots soaked for three hours, and slowly dyed the color, and the indigo in the dye vat had already slowly appeared in the sun, but it was a little shiny.

He poured indigo water into the lime paste, diluted the two for an overnight night, and stirred vigorously with a stick.

Xu Tiantian's strength is small, so naturally it is impossible to stir things up, and such a thing can only be handed over to Xuan Ye and Shen Qi to do, and Shen Qi is bitter and does not dare to resist.

After all the things were ready, Xu Tiantian took the white cloth and threw it into the dye vat, but he just went through it lightly, and then immediately found something and fished it up, and then twice.

Six or seven times the cloth was spread out and thrown into the vat, where it took three days to dye it.

The same is true of the cyan fabric that day.

Although this process is really complicated step by step, Xu Tiantian is not annoyed, after all, she can't do it for the time being if she wants to earn money easily.

Three days later, the cloth in the dye vat was taken out, the color was very uniform, and there was no flaw, which was not easy for Xu Tiantian, who was dyeing cloth for the first time, and it was washed three times after drying, and there was no fading, so I finally put my mind at ease.

On the second day, when Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye arrived at the store, they brought these two pieces of cloth, "Boss, do you remember me?" ”

After seeing Xu Tiantian, the proprietress greeted her, she couldn't remember Xu Tiantian.

Now she really regards Xu Tiantian as the last straw, seeing that this shop is not as good as day by day, she can't let this family drink the northwest wind.

"My sister came this time, but what new pattern of cloth did she bring?"

Xu Tiantian nodded, smiled and glanced at Xuan Ye, who put aside the basket and took out two pieces of cloth.

The proprietress looked straight in the eyes, "Sister, you dyed this cloth yourself?" ”

The cloth was uniformly colored, so she was in her thirties and had never seen a cloth of either color. If this cloth is displayed, it will definitely sell well, but with these two kinds of cloth, her small shop can also make a fortune.

Xu Tiantian's crescent eyes were crooked, "How does the boss lady look at this cloth?" ”

"Not bad, not bad. Girl, how much do you want to sell this cloth? ”
