Hearing Ruan Yunsi talk the same eloquently, the villagers were just watching the excitement, but now they couldn't help but stick out their tongues, and secretly listened to what the Ruan family's sister said, it seems that there is really some Taoism, in this case, let's wait to see if she can dye the colored cloth. You know, after all, the countrymen are poorer, and they go down the mountain in the past days, and they wear nothing more than homespun gowns, and colored clothes are only on the body when they go out to visit relatives and friends and celebrate the New Year, so they cherish it extraordinarily, and now they know that Ruan Yunsi can dye those beautiful fabrics, and the villagers are puzzled, but naturally feel that if she can really dye it, it is worth admiring.

Seeing that it was almost noon, everyone dispersed, only Yun Niang, Lian and Liu stayed, they were close to Ruan Yunsi, and they naturally wanted to help at this time. But I heard Ruan Yunsi smile and said: "I really don't have to be busy today, these things will be dried for a day or two, and when it comes to dyeing cloth, I have to ask my sisters to help me, so let's go back first." ”

A few people listened: yes, it turns out that this is not the time to work, and Bai is standing here and waiting. So they said goodbye one after another, only Yun Niang stayed, and asked curiously: "How can I dye cloth?" How do you get this color out of those flowers and plants? ”

Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "The last sentence you just asked, how to get the color out of the flowers and plants, this is the process of dyeing cloth." Did you see these two cauldrons I built in the yard? It is to add water, put these crops in and boil, and then the water will naturally change color, put the woven cloth in it, and do a little treatment, and it can be dyed. Okay, okay, my good sister, you don't understand it anyway, you just came to help that day, just see for yourself, but I'm still busy now. ”

Yun Niang was indeed confused, so she had to smile and say that Ruan Yunsi was pretending to be mysterious and left.

Two days later, on this day, Ruan Yunsi got up early in the morning and filled the two cauldrons in the courtyard with water. In this winter, there can also be heat on the kang inside, and people can live, of course, she didn't think about arranging people to live there, but she just felt that it was not good to waste it in vain, anyway, if you really want to dye the cloth, you will also have to burn the fire in this winter, and you can make use of resources, why not?

Seeing that the three cauldrons were boiled to a certain temperature, she first put Ye He into the pot in the kitchen to boil, and then put more than a dozen catties of indigo grass and safflower in the two pots in the courtyard, and only boiled for about an hour, and the water turned bright red and dark blue. So Ruan Yunsi took out the linen cloth and a few pieces of silkworm silk and satin that Su Rili had wove herself, and first put the cloth in the kitchen in a pot where the mordant was refined, and then soaked it in the two pots of blue pigment and red pigment.

Her house is a little remote and independent, so the yard is in full swing, but the villagers are at a loss. Ruan Yunsi fought alone, and until noon, large and small fabrics had been dried in the courtyard.

Watching the pieces of cloth dyed and dried, this was the result of his first hands-on use of professional knowledge in ancient times, Ruan Yunsi's heart was not to mention how excited, even more excited than the first successful dyeing of cloth and weaving brocade in the university laboratory that day. After all, university is only about mastering knowledge, but here, this is a skill that allows her to support herself, and whether she can have a bright future in the future is all counting on this craft.

When she was happy, she suddenly heard an exclamation outside the street door, and the sound seemed to be Yun Niang's, she hurriedly turned around, only to see Yun Niang covering her mouth outside the street gate, staring at the colorful fabrics in the yard with wide eyes, and her face was full of disbelief expressions.

"I figured you'd come over, how? Let's look at the results of my morning, I got up before dawn, and now it's three o'clock in the afternoon, right? I haven't even put a grain of rice in my stomach. Ruan Yunsi walked over and opened the street door, although it was a complaining tone, in fact, if you listened carefully, you could hear the pride and excitement in it.

"What does this mean? Didn't you say you wanted us to help? Why did you do it yourself? But it's the same as those silk Zhuangzi in the city, I'm afraid that we will learn the secret recipe? You're underestimating us. ”

Yun Niang entered the courtyard and glared at Ruan Yunsi and complained dissatisfiedly. But seeing this good sister pat her forehead, she smiled and said: "I really forgot that the shadow is gone, I still think about it when I get up in the morning, but I just see that the sky is not bright, I expect that you and even my sister-in-law may not get up, I just want to do it for a while, who knows that the more I do it, the more energetic I am, and I forgot all of you in the back of my mind." If I'm afraid that you have some secret recipe, this is even more ridiculous, just like that, don't say that those specialized dyeing and weaving factories, in the city casually find a cloth man, I'm afraid that you can also dye it, do you think this is the secret recipe for those rare dyes? But I am afraid that people will look at it. Okay, okay, you can take a look at my cloth first, how do you feel? ”

Yun Niang just complained a few words, but she didn't really blame Ruan Yunsi, at this time the yard was only dyed with four-color cloth, which were red, blue, yellow and green, she looked over piece by piece, and couldn't help but admire, when she saw the piece of silk satin dyed red, her eyes lit up, if it wasn't for Ruan Yunsi to pull her in time, this woman was afraid that she would pounce on the piece of satin.

"It's so evenly dyed and thick, it's better than the silk in the city." Yun Niang looked at the piece of satin hanging on the pole and muttered to herself, Ruan Yunsi knew that she liked red the most and loved brocade, so she smiled and said: "When this piece is dried, I will give you a piece to make clothes, you have white skin, and you look the best in red clothes."

Yun Niang shook her head and smiled: "That's it, I'm a widow, what do I say like wearing red and green?" If you really want to give it to me, just give me a pair of shoes, and I will make a pair of soft shoes, embroider a few flowers, and keep them at home, and I will be satisfied. After saying that, she turned her head to the pot, and when she saw that there was purple water in it, she asked, "Are you going to dye purple cloth?" Ah, it's not a good color, don't you see that there are few people wearing this color on the street when you enter the city? To tell the truth, it is a color that only the rich and noble can afford, well, your purple is not as elegant and generous as others, but it is not as beautiful as blue and green. ”

Ruan Yunsi smiled: "It's not too late for you to say this later." After speaking, he threw a small piece of color the size of a fingernail on the pot into the pot, and then pulled Yun Niang to sit on the side of the horse, and added a few handfuls of firewood under the stove, before he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I was only happy this morning, but I felt back pain at this time, if I want to say that this work is really not easy to do, I am also looking for guilt for myself." ”
