Chapter 55: Hitting the Wall II
Ye Yuran: "......" So, in her style, which looks more elegant and back to basics, has become "too ugly" in their eyes?
If you think about it in light of this era, it seems that you can understand it.
Ancient times are not like modern times, with a variety of fabrics, a variety of colors, in modern so-called "simple", "nature's true color", in this era belongs to the popular color, but those colors are more bright things are rare, become everyone's favorite.
Like the Tang Dynasty that I learned in history class in my last life, wasn't it a colorful era?
Ye Yuran seemed to get it all of a sudden, the reason why Zhu Bamei's aesthetics are so "vulgar" is not that Zhu Bamei is "vulgar", but that the times are like this, and it is that she, an "outsider", is a little too advanced.
She said: "Then let's do it, you help my little sister match the color, you can do it together, this is your cooperative business." The little sister is responsible for the craft, you are responsible for selling, except for the public middle school to pay 20% of the profit, the other two of you are divided in half, which is your private money. ”
"Really?!" Li was shocked, "Mother, is what you said true, I can have private money, and I don't have to pay it all to the public middle school?!"
Zhu Bamei couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said, "Mother, can I also have private money?!"
Ye Yuran nodded: "Yes." As long as it is your own money, except for paying 20% to the public high school, the rest is yours. ”
The fact that Li secretly "sold" jam before gave Ye Yuran an inspiration - instead of working hard to get all the things by herself, why didn't she give full play to everyone's initiative and let them do it themselves?
She remembered the big pot of rice in the past, no matter how much or how little she did, in the end, everyone gathered in the same pot to eat, and she got so much, who was willing to work hard?
Next, without Ye Yuran saying anything, Zhu Bamei took the initiative to discuss with the Li family, how to price this "color bracelet" and how to divide the benefits.
Usually the eyes are not eyes, and the nose is not the nose of the sister-in-law and sister-in-law, this is a rare "harmony".
Ye Yuran: "......"
Sure enough, only mutual benefit can make everyone really stand on the same boat.
She didn't get involved in it, but she gave them a piece of advice: "Palm leaves and coarse linen can actually be chosen, although they are more common, but you are not selling them, but what they make up." ”
"Now everyone has no money, and you really have to find something that is difficult to find, and you don't feel comfortable buying low, and no one buys it when you buy high, so it's best to find this kind of material that is easier to obtain. ”
"As for your worries that the color is too simple, why don't you think of a way to dye the sun-dried palm leaves and coarse linen a little color?"
"Dyeing?" Zhu Bamei was stunned for a moment.
Li Shi also seemed to be embarrassed: "Mother, this dyeing is only available in the dyeing workshop, we ...... We won't. If we had that skill, we would have opened our own dyeing workshop. ”
"No?" Ye Yuran searched around the memory of the original owner and found that this seemed to be indeed a difficult point.
However, this is difficult for the original owner, not difficult for Ye Yuran, she may not have particularly advanced dyeing skills, but if she just dyes palm leaves and coarse linen, she can still do it.
There is a word called "plant dyeing" and "plant dyeing".
When she watched "National Treasure" in her last life, she was just interested in the pure natural dyes that the professor talked about, so she went to check the information. Maybe it's the benefits of the crossing, these things that she had seen and thought she had forgotten in the river of memories long ago surfaced, allowing her to see clearly.
For example, the raw materials for dyeing plants and trees, several colors suddenly came to her mind: red, yellow, green, blue, black and various colors.
Among them, the red ones are madder, safflower, and Su fang, the yellow ones are weed, gardenia, ginger, and locust rice, the green ones are frozen green, the blue grass is blue, which is what we often call indigo, and the black ones are soap pipes and black trees.
Red, yellow, and blue are the three primary colors, and they can be combined in different ways to change into different colors.
Yellow and blue can turn green, red and yellow can turn orange, red and blue can turn purple, and these three colors are called "three colors".
Although just knowing these may not be able to dye particularly beautiful colors, but for Zhu Bamei and Li, it should be enough to make a small bracelet.
"I know a few dyeing techniques......
Before Ye Yuran finished speaking, Zhu Bamei and Li came over excitedly and hurriedly asked her if she could teach them.
"What color do you want to learn first?" Ye Yuran didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.
"Red. "I don't want the two of them to speak in unison, they both say the same color.
Ye Yuran raised her eyebrows: "Why do you want to learn this color?"
Zhu Bamei and Li glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Beautiful!"
"Mother, I have long wanted a big red dress, but unfortunately the big red things are expensive and not easy to buy, otherwise I will make a big red jacket to wear. ”
"Yes, mother, I also like red. Zhu Bamei was still a little shy, "Last time I wanted my mother to help me pull a foot of red cloth, in fact, I just wanted to make a small belly pocket." ”
Ye Yuran underestimated the ancient people's preference for colors, but she also knew about this matter, and she had the least right to speak, so she did not deny it.
"Okay, just red. To learn red, we have to find several plants first, one is called madder, one is called safflower, and the other is called Su Fang. ”
"Ah, the same is the red flower?" Li Shi looked shocked.
Zhu Bamei didn't seem to understand: "What's wrong with Honghua? Fourth sister-in-law, do you know?"
"Children's family, do you know what this is for?" Li reflexively, embarrassed to say it.
No matter how big she is, she knows such a thing as safflower, which is not something that a little girl can know.
"She's not too young anymore, tell her. Ye Yuran didn't think there was anything, not to mention that Zhu Bamei was already ten years old, according to the ancient algorithm, the age at which she could marry someone in three or four years was not too small.
Li squeaked, his face turned red, and he couldn't say it.
Zhu Bamei was a little confused. Looking at the appearance of the fourth sister-in-law, this red flower doesn't seem to be a good thing, but why does her mother look indifferent?
Ye Yuran saw that Li couldn't speak, so he understood the taboo of the ancients, so he introduced it to Zhu Bamei: "Safflower is a kind of medicinal material, also known as red and blue flowers, thorny safflower, which has the effect of invigorating blood and removing stasis, so any bruises, sores, swelling and pain can be cured." For women, small days come irregularly, and menstrual cramps and amenorrhea can also be treated. ”
Zhu Bamei listened normally in front of her, but as soon as she heard "Little Day", her face immediately turned red, and she quickly shouted: "Mother......"
No wonder the fourth sister-in-law reacted in this way just now, it turned out that safflower had this effect.
However, Ye Yuran did not stop, but continued: "So, pregnant women should avoid using this kind of thing, otherwise it is easy to miscarry." If your fourth sister-in-law is involved in this business, she will definitely not be able to do it, you have to come by yourself, and you have to make it clear, pregnant women can't bring this thing, otherwise it is easy to have problems. ”
