Chapter 149: Provocation
She wanted to persuade Prince Xian to be her guest of honor, but she must not say it emptyly, at least bring the courtesy.
This gift-giving is a very sophisticated science. It's good, it's going to rise step by step; It's not delivered well, and it's disgusting.
Ye Xiaoman looked at the silk cloth boiled in the pot, and had already thought about what to send in his mind.
She made a vat of goose yellow dye from locust flowers, a vat of lilac dye from perilla, and a vat of blue dye from blue fruit.
The goose yellow is her mother, the light purple is for Wei Mian, and the blue cloth is for Daddy, Qi Ye, Bai Qiu and Qi Shan, and they all make some new clothes.
Ye Xiaoman fished out the other two pieces of cloth and put them aside.
The locust flowers are pounded into locust juice, and the color of the locust juice is rich yellow, but it is not bright enough.
Ye Xiaoman added alum again, making the color of the dye brighter.
Finally, she soaked the boiled raw silk cloth in the locust juice, carefully wiped the dye with a bamboo board, and put it in a ventilated place to dry.
She didn't dye purple immediately, but took the door, went out quietly through the back door, touched the back mountain, and picked a lot of litmus lichens and came back.
Few people know that litmus lichens are purple, and the average person is always confused by its green appearance.
Unlike perilla, which is often dyed purple, the dye made from litmus lichen is more beautiful and purple.
And this purple, if it is applied to silk cloth, will turn into a unique bright purple color, as if cut from a rainbow, very beautiful.
After mashing out the juice of litmus lichen, Ye Xiaoman also added alum to it to make dye, and then put silk cloth into it to dye.
Since ancient times, bright yellow and positive purple have been considered to be the colors of inheritance.
The people are not allowed to dye bright yellow and purple cloth, and only those imperial merchants who are specially used by the imperial palace are qualified to dye these two colors.
However, the color they dyed, compared to Ye Xiaoman's dye, in terms of color and transparency, I don't know how bad it is.
Ye Xiaoman had already decided, she not only wanted to persuade Prince Xian to be her guest of honor, but also to let her help her make a big business.
Presumably, there are people in the world who dare to use Prince Xian to make money, and Ye Xiaoman is the first one.
After the fabric was dyed, she hung it on a shelf, estimating that it would take a night to dry.
So, Ye Xiaoman went to the front and specially ordered the young man to rest for a day.
Except for her and Tao Ran, no one should come to the dyeing workshop.
The young man was very happy to hear this, and was glad that he had a day off and could go out for a walk.
However, he didn't know that in the backyard of Ye Tao's big dyeing house, there was a secret enough to subvert the entire dynasty.
After Tao Ran came back from the Su family, Ye Xiaoman didn't let him see the cloth in the backyard, but went home with him directly.
On the way, Tao Ran told Ye Xiaoman that after Feng Shi saw the accounts, he was stunned. After knowing that this was earned by Xiaoman within half a month, he couldn't say a word.
However, it is a pity that Feng Shi is not satisfied, and even said that this money is a drop in the bucket compared to 10 million, and he is very doubtful that Ye Xiaoman can complete the boasting of Haikou.
"Let her doubt it." Ye Xiaoman said chicly: "When I really earn it, she will be the first to defect." ”
Tao Ran looked at her happy appearance, but he couldn't be happy.
He knew what the result of waiting would be after Ye Xiaoman earned 10 million.
So he deliberately sowed discord.
"Xiaoman, just now in the Su family, when the Feng family mocked you, Su Changqing didn't say anything for you."
