Chapter 168: Safflower and Lichen

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family was a little stunned.

What did she do, and why was she thanked?

was about to ask, but Jiang Zhimian had disappeared.

If it weren't for the extra two taels of silver in the cloth bag in her hand, she should really suspect that she was dreaming.

And Jiang Zhimian, who left in a hurry, went directly to Chi Mohan's bamboo house.

Chi Mohan was loading things in the yard.

Seeing her coming, he sped up, "Wait a minute, it'll be done soon." ”

"No, no, no, can we go back later?" Jiang Zhimian hurriedly waved his hand.

Hearing this, Chi Mohan stopped what he was doing, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I want you to accompany me up the mountain."

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family said that the dyed flowers were picked from the back mountain.

She wanted to look for it and see if there were any other plants that could be used to dye it.

Later, when the technology matures, not only can you make pink mask paper, but also imitate modern animal masks, Peking Opera masks or something to make mask paper.

Think about the women in the deep mansions and courtyards in ancient times, there was no chance to go out, and the only idol sought after was the opera corner.

If you can have the same Facebook mask paper, don't you just take it like the fans?

Of course, these are all for later, but now let's see if we can find so many raw materials.

Jiang Zhimian thought about it, and looked at Chi Mohan with expectant eyes.

Chi Mohan agreed without hesitation.

He never refused the little fox's request.

After tying the wind to the shed, they took their bows and arrows, and the two went up the mountain.

Because he was looking for flowers and other brightly colored plants, Jiang Zhimian chose to go to the sunny side of the back mountain.

Only in full sunlight will the color of the plant be richer.

On the contrary, on the shady side, there are mostly dark green mosses and bushes, which are of little use to Jiang Zhimian.

Golden mantras pass through the sparse leaves, drawing countless irregular little grids on the ground, and occasionally, wild mushrooms can be found in red or green at the roots or beside rotten leaves.

Jiang Zhimian searched all the way and soon found a large area of red flowers on a flat slope.

The bright red flowers are more and more charming in the sun.

As soon as the wind blows, it shakes slightly, and the continuous surface of the lake is like ripples.

Jiang Zhimian ran over quickly, took out a handkerchief from his arms, carefully picked them off one by one, and then wrapped them and put them in his arms.

After picking a lot, Jiang Zhimian stopped.

This time, I will go back to make samples first, and when I am successful, I can pick them again, and if I pick too much at one time and can't use them up, it will be wasted.

Put away these red flowers, and the corner of his eye is biased against the large blue-green thing under the stone next to him.

Lichen!

Hurry up and run over, intending to take all these lichens with you.

Chi Mohan was puzzled on the side, "Moss too?" ”

"This is not moss, this is called lichen, although it looks very similar, but it is very different, lichen is a traditional Chinese medicine, it can also be used to make vegetables and eat, and more importantly, it can be used to dye!"

Depending on the color of the lichen itself, the dyed cloth is also of different colors.

The most common, are gold, red and purple.

However, the dyeing of lichen is only for animal hair and is completely ineffective for cotton cloth.

Of course, Jiang Zhimian didn't plan to use it to dye the mask paper, but the use was elsewhere.

"Do you have anything to borrow from me?" Jiang Zhimian estimated the dosage in his heart, raised his head and asked Chi Mohan.
