Chapter Thirty-Six: Dyes
It's just that the dye in the hand at this time, but it's also a little too bad, I don't know if the old Lin didn't look down on her or the shop is really only these colors, such a color block melts, even if you can dye a few pieces of cloth, the coloring will definitely not be reliable, because the printing and dyeing is not developed, so the people are also very tolerant of the "fading phenomenon" of the cloth, but if you wash it once, it will turn white, which is intolerable to anyone, right? Thinking of this, Ruan Yunsi glanced at Lao Lin Tou, knowing that he was fooling himself, if these dyes were commonly used for painting and coloring, etc., it would be reasonable, if they were dyeing clothes, they would never be able to, if their family produced such cloth, it would have been closed long ago.
Lao Lin Tou saw Ruan Yunsi's glance, although the other party didn't say anything, he also understood in his heart that this girl really had a way, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and Li also understood, forcing him to get it, this old guy had no choice but to hold a big box, sure enough, this time the color block was much better than just now, but it didn't meet Ruan Yunsi's requirements.
In ancient times, there were no chemical printing and dyeing, only natural plant and mineral printing and dyeing, among which plant printing and dyeing was the most commonly used, but only this plant printing and dyeing was the most complex and difficult to do. How much more complicated than chemical printing and dyeing? However, because it is natural and harmless, modern times have slowly begun to pay attention to this technology, and it is mostly used for printing and dyeing silk and the like, which is where Ruan Yunsi's confidence lies. Because she saw that these color blocks were still low from her own standards, she didn't take care of Lao Lintou's business, and Lao Lintou didn't care.
Then I walked through a few more dye shops, and the results were much the same. Li Shi smiled and said, "Sister Yun, are you looking at these dyes too ordinary?" In fact, this is normal, but who doesn't hold some secret recipes in their hands in a dry dyeing factory? If they are willing to sell easily, they don't have to do it. If nothing else, just talk about the Guiyun silk villages all over the country, I heard that their cloth is specially used by Jiangnan Weaving Factory. Even the army's uniforms are their cloth, just because the blue sky can only be dyed by their family, and other families can't do it even if they want to steal business. What is it? Ordinary dyes? Naturally not, that is the lifeblood of their entire Xu family, I heard that this recipe is only held in the hands of the previous heads of the family, even if it is the son of the in-law, if he does not become the patriarch, he does not want to take a look. ”
This Ruan Yunsi knew, she just wanted to take a look this time, and she didn't make up her mind to buy dyes and do it in a hurry. Now she has only one person, even if she dyes cloth, she can only make a small fuss, dye some small pieces of cloth and sell them for free, if she wants to make it bigger, she has to hire people. Because I calculated it myself, if it is a zero get, it is better to buy some safflower and blue grass and the like to refine it yourself, although the power of one person is limited, it is impossible to have too much, but it is enough. Wait until this line can slowly get through, and it's not too late to make it a little bigger.
Because of the calculation in their hearts, seeing that it was almost noon, the three women were embarrassed to enter the restaurant, so they bought a few big buns on the side of the road and went out of the city. Yun Niang rarely enters the city on weekdays, but today she was dragged by Ruan Yunsi, at this time, she naturally couldn't hide her excitement, chirping while eating, Ruan Yunsi and Li couldn't help laughing: "You just stop a little, I haven't seen the sky, this is fortunate to have been out of the city, otherwise people will see such a crazy woman, and I don't know how to accuse you behind my back." ”
Yun Niang smiled: "Am I afraid of accusations? Anyway, the dead ghost in my family is gone, and I don't plan to remarry, what are you afraid of? As he spoke, he took another bite of the big bun and grinned: "This bun tastes so good, but in fact, there is not much meat, just because there is a lot of oil." Sister, the family also refined some oil during the New Year, why don't you go back and dig some camellia, let's also make big buns to eat. ”
They talked and laughed and went far away, and the little maid Mingyan who followed from a distance here stood at the gate of the city and went back. When I arrived at the Yunyun Tower, I saw another companion reporting to Su Mingxi about the place Ruan Yunsi had just walked through.
"Dye shop? She actually wants to print and dye? It's kind of funny. I just thought she was an ordinary country girl, but I didn't expect that she still had some skills. Su Mingxi gently tapped his palm with a folding fan, but he listened to the book and smiled: "How can you conclude that she has the ability?" Maybe it's just a matter of taking it for granted, if you buy a dye and throw it into the water tank, and then soak the white cloth down, and then fish it up, then I don't know how many printing and dyeing shops are standing now, not to mention that she is just a woman's family, what can she do? ”
Su Mingxi didn't say anything, but he didn't think so, he thought that he knew a little bit about Ruan Yunsi, that was by no means a girl who took things for granted, just by looking at her eyes, he knew that it was a resolute, kind, and knowing how to advance and retreat, if he wasn't a little sure, he would never whimsically want to do anything. Although women are naturally weak and can only survive by men, which dynasty does not have some strange women who do not let them shave their eyebrows? is Qin Bing of the previous dynasty, isn't that also a world-famous rich female businessman? Do you know that this Ruan Yunsi will not be the second Qin Bing?
Because of thinking about it carefully, although I wanted to help Ruan Yunsi, but this really good dye was afraid that those stores would not sell it easily, and looking at Ruan Yunsi's behavior, he seemed to know it. Therefore, Su Mingxi only hesitated for a moment, and decided not to meddle in this matter for now.
Spring goes to summer, and after the Dragon Boat Festival passes, the weather is getting hot day by day. In the past few months, Ruan Yun silk weaving has made some money, she has a calculation in her heart, so she went to Li Shi and said: "Now I don't want to weave cloth for people anymore, I just want to buy some raw silk for myself, dye it after weaving cloth, and don't sell it to those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but sell it to neighbors, although everyone can rarely afford to use silk, but it's good to make a sachet or something, not to mention that there are really a few rich people around us, they may not need these, but I don't know if Sister-in-law Li can help me with this."
Li Shi was very surprised, and then felt a pity, in her opinion, Ruan Yunsi was a little greedy, where is it so easy to dye cloth? However, she had also persuaded her before, but now since the other party is still so insistent, she has nothing to say, and it is useless to persuade a few words, so she agreed, and sure enough, she took Ruan Yunsi and Yun Niang into the city the next day and bought twenty or thirty catties of raw silk back.
Then Ruan Yunsi got busy, there were some dyed wild plants in the mountains to the west, but the number was not much, far from enough for her. It is important to know that safflower orchid grass and perilla are now specially cultivated, but Sumu and other things rely on overseas trade, and the country has not yet begun to plant. So she ran in the mountains for a few days, and did not find any printing and dyeing plants, but accidentally found a mordant raw material that could be used to fix colors.
Ruan Yunsi was very happy at this time, she remembered very well that this plant called "Ye He" was a newly discovered mordant in modern times, which was of great help to fix the color. Other inconspicuous grasses that are blue or green or red cannot be used as dyes, but they can be used as toners, and as long as a small amount of this toner can slowly adjust a color spectrum from light to dark.
