Xie Jingyi was a little surprised, the clamp is very simple, any daughter of the palace can dye it with any daughter of the small palace, but the quality of the dye is a little different. I didn't expect it to be lost to such a point among the people.

"The left and right are just coarse cloth, let's dye it once and we'll know. Li Dye is a connoisseur, although this carved plate is exquisite, but the pattern implication is exactly the most suitable for coarse cloth, isn't it? Xie Jingyi said, stretched out his hand, and touched the clipboard.

The courtyard was quiet, and Yao Yuanniang, the daughter of Yao's shopkeeper, sat on the door pier, guarding the door, not letting idle people break in.

Li Dye nodded and rolled up his sleeves.

He first took a flower board with rich flowers, carefully spread the white cloth, and clamped it tightly and straightened it on the flower board. This flower board is hollowed out, the flowers are full of layers and vivid, if it is not without fragrance, it is like a real one.

The best thing is not the carving process, but the person who made the proof, which is definitely not drawn by an unknown person.

But Xie Jingyi is right, although this pattern has a good meaning, it is slightly full and cheesy. Nowadays, the nobles of Dachen like low-key luxury, embroidered with gold thread, but not embroidered, and a large section is left blank.

Embroidered flowers, not like the previous dynasty of the general flowers, but like to embroider the famous paintings on the clothes, with their own grace, very elegant.

"Next, I just heard my father mention that he smeared lime and rice paste on the hollow place...... The young owner didn't come before, and the old man tried it on the cloth, and there would be signs of falling off, and the dye was very mottled. ”

Xie Jingyi suddenly realized, and said tentatively, "Xu is the proportion of the mix is wrong. It is not easy to boil rice cereal, and it is easy to fall off when exposed to water, so can there be other alternatives? The general direction is certainly not wrong. Let's paste the mortar through the flower board on the cloth and wait for it to dry. Put it into the dye vat to dye the blue, and then scrape off the mortar, and a white pattern on a blue background will appear. ”

Master Li Ran thought for a moment.

"Three ladies, I don't know if soy milk is okay? If soy milk drips on the clothes, it will form white pulp and is not easy to clean. Qingping, who was standing on the side, pricked up her ears and listened, she would have this question! The Xie family often drinks soy milk, and when Xie Jingyi was a child, he didn't stain his clothes.

Li Dye nodded and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, soy milk is fine." And I have another idea. We have a flower board, why not directly dye it in the hollow place, and no longer enter the dye vat, so that you can get a blue flower cloth with a white background? ”

Xie Jingyi was immediately satisfied.

It's not that she has any prophetic skills, even if there was no her in the previous life, in a few years, the folk will all be this kind of blue and white cloth, also known as "medicine spot cloth". Being able to become popular among the poor people means that it is not complicated, the cost of dyeing cloth is low, and the probability of failure is low.

As long as someone draws the pattern, carves it into a board, and knows the ratio of pulp powder, then it is not difficult to make it.

In the end, it's just a matter of whose pattern is more beautiful, for this, it's not Xie Jingyi who boasts, she is not afraid of riding the dust!

This is not like an experienced old craftsman like Li Dyeer, who can easily draw inferences, as long as she leads people on the road, she is still worried about not making money?

"Master Li is talented! Qingping is smart! Xie Jingyi exclaimed.

Li Ranshi's bronzed face blushed a little, and he stammered a little, "I'm just thinking about it, and I don't know if I can do it." It's all up to the flower board brought by the young owner. My hands are itchy now, and I can't wait to dye the cloth for the young owner to see. ”

Xie Jingyi nodded, "Give it to Master Li, and I'll be relieved." It's just that before it is dyed, please don't spread it, even my grandfather's side, don't mention it first, so as not to make them rejoice. ”

Li Ranshi's expression was a little more cautious, "The little one knows the rules." ”

Zhai's big cloth workshop, although it is also called the big cloth workshop, but the one with the Zhai family is actually already two. If the craftsman is not subject to the rules and leaks secrets indiscriminately, it will be tolerated by the industry.

Shopkeeper Yao was also very happy, "Coincidentally, my lady just grinded soy milk today, and it's almost the New Year, so I plan to make some tofu, fried tofu, just use it first." ”

As he spoke, he came out with a bucket of soy milk from the kitchen.

Li Dye was ready for everything, and immediately began to dye the cloth with concentration.

Xie Jingyi took the sweet soy milk handed over by Shopkeeper Yao and took a sip, "What price should be set for this cloth, how should it be sold, Shopkeeper Yao is an expert, and it is up to you to decide." While the cloth has not yet been dyed, I have two things to do with you in the next few days. ”

Shopkeeper Yao was stunned for a moment, "Don't say it!" ”

Li Ran is loyal and honest, and he doesn't think much about it, but he is a shopkeeper, and he has seen many people and things. Xie Sanniang only talked about the clamping yesterday, and she can take out the flower board today, which shows that not only the flower board, but also the method of dyeing the cloth, are all in the chest early in the morning.

Whether she came to ask him, or let Master Li Ran say new ideas, it was just a way to be a royal being.

This little girl is only thirteen years old, and she is already so capable and calm, which makes his heart feel very down-to-earth, when his father followed Master Zhai to start from scratch, is it also in such a mood?

Shopkeeper Yao's mood was a little complicated, and he added, "Young owner, you said." ”

"First, you first ask someone to visit and see if there is any tofu Shih Tzu in this Lin'an City? Beauties like noodles Shih Tzu. Among the small villages in ten miles and eight townships, which village flowers are the most famous. If there is someone who wants to marry, it is even better. ”

Shopkeeper Yao couldn't believe his ears, Shaodong, you want to bully men and women at a young age, and covet the beauty of the village flower! Or! Or!

He thought about it, and he stammered a little, "What are you asking for?" ”

Xie Jingyi smiled, "Of course it's trading, what else can you do?" ”

Shopkeeper Yao breathed a sigh of relief, that's good, that's good!

"Does the young owner want to sell this flower cloth to these famous little girls first? Their every move is eye-catching...... If you wear our new cloth, it will definitely attract other little ladies to follow suit! Wonderful! And what about the second one? ”

Shopkeeper Yao figured out the key points at once, and even looked at Xie Jingyi with a high look.

"Second, in the flower board, there are auspicious patterns suitable for marriage, such as durian giving birth to a hundred sons. Look for those who are in the village chief's family, and marry women. It is said that it has long been spread in the Hanzhong area of Jiangnan Road, and there must be three things in the dowry of a woman to be decent, and the red flower is covered with blue curtain clothes. ”

"As for how many beds does this quilt need? How many sets of curtain patterns are there? Flowers, clothes, spring, summer, autumn and winter...... Of course, the more you buy, the more blessings you have! If there are a few pieces of flower cloth to press the bottom of the box, then hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren are blessed! ”

Shopkeeper Yao glanced at Xie Jingyi deeply, the profiteer, he is more treacherous than him!

If this is really customary, as long as someone gets married, then their cloth will not be sold.

"Isn't it a little bit of a trick? For example, some people are really poor, and they originally casually turned over some old Chen Bu, and it was used as a dowry......"

Xie Jingyi shook his head and said seriously, "I'm doing this for the benefit of the little lady!" In this village, only sons, marrying daughters are eager to give a dowry, and a few random grasses send people away. What's the matter, you can also have clothes to wear, a quilt to cover, a curtain to cover your shame, and the dignity of a bride! ”

Shopkeeper Yao's head is a little dizzy, really? He always felt that something was not right!

But he also wants to stock up some flower cloth for Yuan Niang as a dowry, what's going on? What the young proprietor's mouth said was not words, it was ecstasy soup!
