Tang Junliang is very diligent and eye-catching, but he is not a clever person, Chen Jiu's temperament is similar to Tang Dongzi's, long and round and very festive, although he came late, he quickly chatted with them.

Those Lanzhou people didn't guard against him much, and basically answered all questions.

Chen Jiu was also really curious, so he asked them: "What is interesting in your Lanzhou?" What's different from us? ”

"There are many different things," the man said with a smile, "there are many people coming and going in the border towns, grasslands, and many merchants, and many soldiers......

"Oh! I know! Chen Jiu said: "I've heard that you guys are close to the border!" There is an invincible Huo family army! ”

"What Huo Jiajun!" The man smiled: "Where is the Huo family army now!" All of them have become Du Jiajun! ”

As soon as he said this, even Han Yi was a little curious: "Didn't you hear that the Huo family has been a god general for generations?" Didn't you say that the border pass had always been guarded by Huo Jiajun? ”

"It's gone!" The man lowered his voice: "Now the chief general of the border pass, surnamed Du!" General Du! ”

Chen Jiu asked, "What about General Huo?" ”

The man whispered, "Dead! ”

Chen Jiu was taken aback, "Oh! ”

The man couldn't help but gossip: "Before, the Huo family was indeed a god general for generations, the old general Huo Bo, known as General Yum, that is really a brave and unparalleled!" But...... It is said that he is in the military camp, and he only knows how to do poetry and painting all day long, and he does not do his job, and finally heard that his wife died, he was too sad, and died in front of the battle...... It's an amorous seed. ”

"What amorous seeds!" Han Yi couldn't help but say: "Isn't it a waste of this on the battlefield!" ”

"Shh The man said: "Be careful, be careful!" Don't talk about state affairs! Drink! ”

Tang Shiyue listened with relish.

I didn't expect that there are really martyred people in this world?

But if it is really martyrdom on the battlefield, then it is really like what Han Yi said, a bit of a bad idea?

She turned her head and wanted to gossip with Qi Jing, but she saw Qi Jing's expression at a glance.

He hung his eyelashes, his eyebrows pressed slightly, his lips pursed into a line, and he sat upright as always.

However, she had that feeling again, that time, when Qi Jing said, "Even if you learn it, it may not be a good thing", that inexplicable sadness.

He must be behind the door, right? Has he seen the battlefield with his own eyes? Was his father also a member of the border campaign?

The husband only holds the Wu hook in his hand, and his spirit is higher than that of a hundred feet of building.

Battlefield battles have always been cruel, the world only sees his thousands of miles of marquis, and who sees him stained with blood?

Tang Shiyue suddenly lost interest in listening to gossip, and called him with a smile: "Ah Jing? ”

Qi Jing quickly looked up: "Huh? ”

Tang Shiyue smiled: "I said before that there was something for you to do, do you want to know what it is?" ”

His dark eyes looked at her fixedly, and the corners of his mouth curved: "Yes." ”

Ahhh This word is too good! His heart was crispened by him!

Boy, you're too cunning! It's so heroic! Sell! Sprout! What a peerless treasure this is!

Well, it's all for you! All my kingdoms are for you!

She kept roaring in her heart, and took out a piece of paper very calmly on the surface: "Actually, it's still winemaking, but if you use my method, the wine you brew will be several times stronger than the current wine." ”

She took out the drawings she had drawn from her sleeve pocket, spread them out, and explained them to him in detail.

The more Qi Jing listened, the more attentive he became, and looking at his expression, he knew that he must have heard the group of people outside talking.

Tang Shiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt that if she became the emperor, she would definitely be a faint king, so in order to distract him, she released such a big move...... Meow, this kid met her, he was really lucky to have three lives! Cheap you stinky boy!

The two of them talked enthusiastically, and they went out directly to find a coppersmith, ordered two sets of small ones according to the drawings, and told the craftsman to keep them secret.

In fact, she still believes in the professional ethics of this era.

Because in this era, craftsmanship is extremely valuable, and what you learn almost means what you will do for life, so the unspoken rules of many industries must be followed, otherwise you will be regarded as a traitor by the entire industry.

When the two of them came out, it was dark, so they went back to Jubao Village directly, and came back the next day.

Those people left early in the morning, and Han Yi led them to see the goods, and then went to find the best Lin family dyeing workshop in town.

Wool needs to be washed and dried, and then dyed with cloth dyeing.

Yellow and purple are easy to make mistakes, and light colors are too resistant to dirt, Tang Shiyue temporarily only picked red, blue, green, and dark colors to dye, and each color is divided into two colors.

In fact, in ancient times, red and blue cloth were the most, because safflower and indigo were easy to obtain.

For example, the bright red color needs to be tasted with safflower cake, fried with black plum water, and then cleared with alkaline water several times, the number of times of clear is more, the color is brighter.

Purple is based on Sumu as the ground, and alum is still there.

Dark color, dyed with indigo water into deep blue, reed, bayberry skin and other parts of the fried water cover.

Green, bean green is dyed with barberry water and covered with indigo water. The oil green color is thinly dyed with locust flowers, covered with alum.

Astragalus is a plant, like safflower and indigo.

Probably this is the case, but the dyeing workshop naturally has its own secret recipe, which is probably to brighten with salt, fix the color with lime, color with alum, and so on.

In fact, wool is easier to color than many fabrics, try a few times first, dye a few balls respectively, and there is no problem with all aspects of testing, Tang Shiyue nodded, and then he will start dyeing in large quantities, the key is to dye evenly.

It's a big project, and it's a big business for the dyeing mill, and it's going to be done for a long time, so they're definitely very concerned.

I guess when everything is dyed, the workshop will probably be able to be built, and it will be time to start working.

When the time comes, recruit people to rub the thread, the little lady in the countryside, all of them will rub hemp, wool is better than hemp, and it does not hurt hands, but it is very time-consuming.

When Tang Shiyue returned to the village, it was dark again.

The nine-year-old grandson of the patriarch's family was waiting at the entrance of the village, and when he saw her coming, he stepped forward and said, "Sister Yue! Grandpa has something to do with you, so he told me to wait for you here! ”

Tang Shiyue pulled him up with a smile, took a snack and told him to eat, and then the mule cart went directly to the patriarch's house.

The old patriarch and Li Zheng were there, looking at this appearance, it seemed that they had been waiting for a day.

Tang Shiyue hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I have something to do today, I went to the town, I didn't know that Uncle Tang and Li were looking for me." ”

"It's okay," the patriarch said with a pleasant face, "Can you eat?" ”

Tang Shiyue was not polite, and said with a smile: "Not yet, I want a bowl of soup cakes from my uncle." ”

Seeing that she was gone, the old patriarch's expression became more gentle, and he said with a smile: "When you come to Uncle Tang, naturally you can't be hungry." ”

Of course, he couldn't send her away with a bowl of soup cakes, so he hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law to cook, and said to her: "Yue'er, I discussed the matter of the workshop with Li Zheng." Tell you about it. ”

He looked at her look.

Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "Yue'er is young and shallow, and she may not think about it, just say it." ”

The patriarch of the Tang family smiled and said, "It is indeed your benevolence and righteousness that you ask the unmarried girl to come to learn, but once this skill is spread, how can we compete for those high-ranking families?" Rich businessmen? Some of the cloth embroidery villages that have become a climate have clever ladies, and our country girls can't compete with them. ”

Tang Shiyue thought about it: "That's right! I didn't expect that! Or the patriarch is insightful! ”
