Chapter 148: Dye the raw silk cloth again

"Xiaoman, you're so nice."

Tao Ran said with emotion, Ye Xiaoman raised his little face, and his face was full of self-satisfaction.

"Of course! I have always been so good that I cry ghosts and gods, there is no one before and no one after me, everyone loves flowers and flowers blooms. ”

Tao Ran applauded vigorously: "Well said." ”

Ye Xiaoman glanced at him, can you not be so cheerful, there is no dramatic effect at all.

Hey, no way, who told her to be so good. Ye Xiaoman said in his heart.

But soon, she remembered that she was waiting for new cloth to make clothes at home, and quickly put away her jokes.

"You go and get busy first, and I'm going to be busy too."

Let the guy look at the shop, Ye Xiaoman entered the backyard.

The last batch of cloth has been delivered, and the atmosphere in the dyeing workshop is much lighter.

Only one of the large pot stoves for dyes was in use, and everything else was washed and cleaned. Only half of the dye vat was used, and the other half was neatly arranged.

Thanks to the movable bamboo roof and the drain troughs between the stone crevices, even though the dyehouse uses water every day, the ground is still quite dry and not so wet that people can't get down.

There was no work on their hands, and the three dyers who were resting next to them stood up in a restrained manner and shouted in unison: "Good host." ”

Ye Xiaoman waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to care, she would dye two pieces of cloth.

Hu Xiaohai cleverly greeted her and asked her what kind of cloth she wanted to dye, and they could help.

Ye Xiaoman shook his head and said, "You guys are really too busy here, I want to dye lero." ”

Guys, I heard Tao Ran say that Ye Xiaoman can dye lero, and they also know that the two pieces of silk cloth that used to be famous for moving thousands of lamps were from Ye Xiaoman's hand.

To see a great dyer like Ye Xiaoman dyeing the legendary cloth with his own eyes, the guys were extremely excited.

However, Ye Xiaoman's next words cut off their excitement.

"There's nothing going on today, so you can go back first. The method of dyeing silk cloth is my exclusive secret recipe, and you cannot see it. ”

The guys lowered their heads in disappointment, and so did Hu Xiaohai, full of anticipation to be poured cold water.

However, the proprietor said whatever he wanted, and they honestly packed the mixed dye and left.

After they all left, Ye Xiaoman began to dye the cloth.

He took out five silk pieces from the storeroom and looked at the light.

These five pieces of cloth were better than the two she had dyed before, which used to be three-strands, and these five were all five-strands.

If there are more strands, it will be more difficult to fix the color, Ye Xiaoman calculated, it will take more time and dye to use.

It is still the silk cloth that is processed first.

Put the bath beans and honey locusts in the water to boil a thick white soup, spread out the silk cloth, and put it in the pot.

I have to say. Dyeing cloth in the dye room is much more convenient than at home.

In the past, when dyeing at home, if you cook such a whole cloth, Ye Xiaoman has to watch it all the time, and he has to watch the fire at any time.

But now, the pot is big and the site is big, so Ye Xiaoman can spread out the cloth and put it directly into the pot to cook.

When she was cooking the cloth, she thought about what color she wanted to dye, so that she could mix the dye.

She thought about it carefully, her mother liked yellow the most, and Wei Mian liked purple the most.

Then dye purple and yellow, but what purple and what yellow?

Yellow is very particular about use, because yellow is the royal color, so the average person can use light yellow, goose yellow, but not golden yellow and bright yellow.

The same is true of purple, light purple and light purple are fine, but if it is dark purple, then it is taboo.

Wait, yellow and purple?

An idea came to Ye Xiaoman's mind.
