Yun Niang smiled: "I think it's worth it, how much money can you sell for a piece of grey cloth?" I look at these pieces of cloth dyed very well, how can the price of selling them quadruple, not better than your weaving grey cloth? At the beginning, Sister-in-law Li was still worried, feeling that you were not greedy enough, and in the end she was disgraced, but now let her take a look at these pieces of cloth, and make sure that she knows that she is wrong about you, come, if you feel tired, hand over the rest to me. ”

Ruan Yunsi smiled bitterly: "I'll leave it to you?" It's really not good, you help me burn the fire and dry the cloth, and it's okay to hit these starts, if you say that you will be impregnated and dyed, you can't do it, you can't control this heat. While speaking, seeing that the heat in the pot began to rise, she tested the water temperature, and then took Yun Niang's hand and smiled: "Come, help me open this satin and go down to the pot." ”

Yun Niang looked at the pot of water while making a cloth with Ruan Yunsi, and wondered: "I didn't feel any change in color?" Aren't you crazy that such a color is used to dye satin? The voice fell, but Ruan Yunsi smiled and said, "It's too early to make a conclusion now, right?" Look at it and wait for the cloth to be dyed. Isn't it a good color, am I willing to use this silk satin? ”

The two of them were talking and laughing while doing their work, and after a while, Ruan Yunsi shouted, "Okay, let's collect the cloth up." Yun Niang hurriedly helped her to take the satin out of the pot, and then dried it layer by layer on the prepared pole, and when the cloth was unfolded, she almost didn't look straight at her, pointing to the fabric and saying, "This ...... Is this dyed by the water in the pot? This...... Sister Yun, you're not fooling me, are you? How did the water in the pot dye so purple? It's clearly two colors. ”

Ruan Yunsi said: "How can you say that I fooled you? From beginning to end, don't you see it all? As for the difference, the color of the water must be slightly different from the cloth, otherwise why can I dye the cloth and you can't? Okay, okay, let's dye that yellow cloth out again, and let's go into the house to eat, but I'm tired to death. ”

Yun Niang nodded and said, "Yes, you have a good rest, just these cloths, there are always more than a dozen horses, right?" If you take it to the market, it will be enough for you to sell it for three to five days. As he spoke, he helped Ruan Yunsi put another piece of silk satin into the pot. Ming Huang Xinghuang is the color of the royal family and the prince's clothing, and it is forbidden to be dyed by the people, and ordinary people can't dye it. Therefore, Ruan Yunsi's so-called yellow cloth is just pale yellow.

When all the work was done, it was already afternoon, Ruan Yunsi made a simple meal, she and Yun Niang finished eating, and fed Rhubarb and Xiao Hei, then she lay on the kang, stretched her limbs and said: "I'm really tired, my bones and cracks hurt at this time, oops, it's really hard to make this money." ”

"You, don't get cheap and sell well, you won't think like this when you count the money." Yun Niang pursed her lips, thought about it and said, "No, when you sell these cloths for money, you have to invite me to a good meal." ”

"Have a good meal? What's that standard? Ruan Yunsi half-closed her eyes and asked with a smile, but she heard Yun Niang count with her fingers: "Since it's good, why should there be meat, chickens and fish?" Well, just a few of these things, and I'm not greedy. ”

Ruan Yunsi sighed deliberately: "Is this still called greed? You almost asked me to catch a few turtledoves for you. But it's not difficult, if you talk about meat, there are twenty or thirty catties of cured meat in the jar, stewed kidney beans and potatoes, that's what you love. If you want to buy chickens, just go to the market and buy two chicken wings, and you will probably be sent away, and the fish is easier to do, go to the Liuhua River to catch a few. Well, let's see when it rains to pick up a few mushrooms, Cheng, you remember this meal. ”

Yun Niang was puzzled: "How did I hear that you sent me away so easily?" Dare to love is to think that a money will not come out, what is this called inviting me to dinner? Before the words fell, Ruan Yunsi smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, although two chicken wings are not expensive, they also cost money." ”

The two were talking and laughing, when they heard someone shouting outside the street gate, Ruan Yunsi sighed and said, "Yes, I still want to take a nap, but it didn't work out." When he got up, he saw several women gathered outside the street gate, and needless to say, he was naturally attracted by the cloth in her yard.

Ruan Yunsi dyed for three days in a row, using more than half of the crops she had bought from the Yan family, dyeing nearly fifty pieces of cloth in total. Now they are all piled up on the kang in the West House, and in two days it happens to be a big gathering in Jinfang Township, and she plans to sell it there.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that after the cloth was dyed, before she could take it to the market, the people in the village came to the door one after another, and the villagers, Ruan Yunsi was embarrassed to make their money, but everyone also knew that it was not easy for her to live alone as a woman, and this dyeing cloth was a laborious job. What's more, this cloth was much better than the coarse cloth they bought in the city, so the money was never less for her, and even the dozen or so silk satins, in addition to some given to Yun Niang, Lian's Liu, and Orion's Wang and others, were also bought four or five. This money alone has earned all the capital to buy crops and raw silk.

Looking at the remaining two dozen pieces of cloth on the kang, Ruan Yunsi secretly calculated in her heart. You know, dyeing cloth is just the first step of her beginning, in her mind, the real career is dyeing and weaving, weaving is the most important part, not to mention anything else, but the hundreds of brocade patterns in her hands are enough to set off a brocade storm in this overhead era, until then, she can really show her ambition and wealth, in order to live as a woman in this era of wishful joy.

"The first step in the long march has just begun." Ruan Yunsi stretched her waist, thinking about the scene of her back and legs suffering from exhaustion for three days of dyeing cloth, and she began to seriously consider whether it was time to hire two people to be helpers. It's just that after thinking about it, now I'm still making a little fuss, and it's not cost-effective to invite someone to come, so let's save a sum of money in my hands first, and then talk about it when I can make the dyeing industry bigger in the future.

Because of this thought, I dispelled this thought.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the cloth was bought by the neighbors, and fortunately, the big gathering in Jinfang Township finally began. Early in the morning, Ruan Yunsi had just freshened up in the house, and Yun Niang came to call her, so Ruan Yunsi opened the door and called Yun Niang in for breakfast, and the two of them used a small cart to push the remaining twenty pieces of cloth to the market.

This big market in Jinfang Township is open in a large open space at the entrance of Hujia Village, more than ten miles away from Xiaowang Village, when Ruan Yunsi and Yun Niang pushed the cloth to the market, it was already three poles in the sun, the two were tired and sweaty, Ruan Yunsi untied the water bladder and took a sip, looking at the scorching sun on her head, she couldn't help but think strongly of modern parasols and all kinds of ice cream popsicles.
