Ye Xiaoman touched his nose and walked away obediently.

It looks like her dad doesn't have to kneel on the washboard.

She didn't want to watch her father and mother at home, and there was still a little time before dinner.

After thinking about it, she went to the dyeing workshop.

Tao Ran is taking care of Grandpa Tao and Grandma Tao at home today, and the dyeing workshop is watched by the guys.

As soon as he saw her, the man greeted her.

Ye Xiaoman remembered that his name was Hu Xiaohai, the youngest son of the Hu family in the village, seventeen this year, and he looked very clever.

"Xiaohai, where are the stained cloths from ago?"

"Inside, the hostess, please come with me."

After Hu Xiaohai led Ye Xiaoman to the backyard, he wondered in his heart, what did the proprietress do when she looked at the broken cloth?

When they came to the backyard, the four corners of the courtyard were already lit with bright torches, and the corners were hung with oil lamps, and the darkening sky did not affect the dye shop at all.

If it were ordinary, the dyeing workshop would not be so wasteful, but this batch of cloth was in a hurry, and the guys needed to rush to work overnight.

The broken cloth is packed in a large bamboo basket and placed in the corner.

Ye Xiaoman looked at this batch of cloth.

There were eight pieces of cloth in it, all cotton, four dyed pale pink, and four dyed palace green.

Because the water used is too hard, the color of the cloth is unevenly dyed, and there are many spots on it.

But fortunately, it has not rained in the past few days, and the cloth has not become moldy, and there are only stained spots on it, and there are no mold spots.

Ye Xiaoman had a number in his heart, and asked Hu Xiaohai to buy a jar of alkaline noodles.

"Alkaline noodles? Is it the kind of alkaline noodles that make noodles? ”

Hu Xiaohai didn't understand what alkaline noodles had to do with dyeing cloth.

However, he didn't talk much, just bought a jar of alkaline noodles according to Ye Xiaoman's instructions.

When he bought alkaline noodles, Ye Xiaoman asked other guys to scrape a jar of quicklime.

A jar of alkaline noodles and a jar of quicklime were placed next to the cloth basket, and Ye Xiaoman asked for two half-person-high water tanks.

Her flurry of actions was so strange that the guys stopped their movements to see what she was going to do.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Xiaoman poured lime into one of the tanks and added a lot of water to it.

The tank was bubbling, and a strange smell came out. Ye Xiaoman touched the cylinder, and sure enough, it became hot.

She picked up the long stick that stirred the dye and stirred the lime slurry well, making sure that all the lime was wet.

After stirring, she poured down the jar of alkaline noodles and stirred it a few more times.

After resting for a stick of incense, the lime and alkali surface mixture sank, and half a jar of clear liquid floated on it.

"What is this? Is it water? ”

A young man asked curiously, stretching out his hand as he asked, wanting to try the serum.

"Can't touch it!"

Ye Xiaoman immediately raised his voice to stop him, and the young man was so frightened that he retracted his hand.

"It's called caustic soda, and it burns your hands."

Ye Xiaoman carefully scooped the caustic lye into another tank with a water scoop.

"Boil a pot of hot water, then a pot of cold water." Ye Xiaoman instructed the guys.

The guys did it immediately, and they became more and more curious about what Ye Xiaoman was going to do.

Ye Xiaoman picked up a pale pink cloth from the waste cloth frame, shook it off, and put it into the caustic lye.

Instead of reaching out, she used a wooden stick to dip the cloth into the caustic lye, allowing every inch of the cloth to soak in.

Strange to say, after a while, the pale pink color on the cloth slowly faded and turned back to white.

When the color of the cloth almost faded, Ye Xiaoman picked out the cloth and put it in hot water.

After boiling for a while, the color of the cloth is lighter.

Then she took the cloth out of the hot water again and put it in the cold water.

At this time, the cloth has completely changed back to white.

The guys were stunned.

Some of them learned to dye cloth from Widow Li, and some of them later learned to dye cloth in Ye Taoda's dyeing workshop.

But no matter who you are, you have never seen it, and the dyed cloth can turn back to its original white!

This is really, unheard of, unseen wonder!
