Chapter 485: Dyeing the Wool Thread
The knitted woolen sweater, whether it is kept for your own family to wear, or sold at the trading store, it is okay, and when Zhang Xiaoxue took out a ball of wool thread to weave, she thought of this pure white woolen sweater, which was too simple.
If the wool thread is dyed and then knitted with some colorful woolen sweaters, it should be more beautiful, so that if it is sold at a trading store, the unit price should be increased a lot.
Zhang Xiaoxue thought that there was a slave at home who could dye cloth, and it seemed that he was named Da Dye, and it should be okay to let him dye this wool thread.
However, if the wool thread is dyed with outside dye, the urine of the trade shop will definitely refuse to sell it there, and the best way is to find a way to dye it with plants from the farm system.
I don't know, will the big dye use the method of dyeing cloth with plants? I have to ask him, when I think of this, Zhang Xiaoxue can't stay.
"Sanman, come here to keep accounts, I have something to go out for. ”
"Okay. ”
Zhang Xiaoxue and Sanfu explained to them, then went to the backyard of the store, got into the invisible RV, and returned home.
Sanbao They are not surprised by Zhang Xiaoxue's style of throwing off the shopkeeper, these days, they have also provoked the beams, and they don't need Zhang Xiaoxue to sit here at all, they have already done a good job.
Zhang Xiaoxue went to the field and found Da Dye who was weeding, asked him in detail about the steps of dyeing the cloth, and asked him if he could use the colored plants she provided to dye the cloth.
After getting Da Ran's affirmative answer, Zhang Xiaoxue was very excited, and after thinking about it, she asked Da Ran to hand over the work in her hand to others first, and asked him to go home with her, saying that she wanted to dye some wool thread.
After returning home with Da Dye, Zhang Xiaoxue took out all the wool threads woven by Bing'er, as well as a variety of colored crops, and wanted Da Dye to see which crops were needed.
Because Zhang Xiaoxue is a big dye that does not have to limit the color of dyeing, all kinds of colors, regardless of the shade, you can come to a few copies.
Da Ran heard that Zhang Xiaoxue's conditions were so lenient, and he was also very open, he was very happy that his skills could finally be useful.
Da Ran is very envious of Da Mu, these slaves who can carpenter, can help their master do the work, and now he can finally become one of them, and he is full of energy.
Da Dye also said that in addition to the need for plants with color, in order to consolidate the dyed color will not fade, some mordant is also needed, this Zhang Xiaoxue was dumbfounded when she heard it, it turned out that she also needed alum and vinegar water.
In this way, wouldn't it be necessary to use the raw materials outside, in this way, even if the wool thread is dyed with a beautiful color, you can only weave some colored woolen sweaters to wear by yourself, Zhang Xiaoxue was a little disappointed in her heart.
However, she suddenly remembered that alum could actually be replaced with ash water, or else she could use those discarded orange stalks taken out of the waste recycling warehouse to burn them into ashes.
Vinegar water can be replaced with lemonade, Zhang Xiaoxue thought to herself, it's all sour anyway, so let's try it like this, so she told Da Dye about her decision.
Da Ran also heard the master say about this matter, and there is no alum that can be replaced by grass and wood gray water, so he told Zhang Xiaoxue about the matter he knew.
Haha, Zhang Xiaoxue was overjoyed when she heard what Da Ran said, and sure enough, she was right, as long as this vinegar water could be replaced by lemonade.
Zhang Xiaoxue went directly to the firewood shed and took out the discarded orange stalks, and talked to Da Dye that the burned plant ashes should be burned with these discarded orange stalks that had just been taken out.
When you are just burning the ashes of plants and trees, you can also boil colored plants into colored juice by the way, without delaying your efforts at all.
Zhang Xiaoxue took out all the vats needed to dye the cloth, and Da Dye set up a simple pot stove in the yard, and began to boil some colored crops taken out by Zhang Xiaoxue with the big iron pot taken out by Zhang Xiaoxue.
Zhang Xiaoxue was not too hot, and watched the operation of the big dyeing with great interest, and learned how to dye cloth by hand.
Although the process of dyeing cloth is a bit cumbersome, it is not too difficult, Zhang Xiaoxue watched it on the side, and let her dye the cloth by herself in the future, I believe that she can also dye the cloth with color.
Of course, if Zhang Xiaoxue dyes the cloth by herself, the color of the dyed fabric may be a little different from what she imagined in her heart.
Finally, all the wool threads in the dye vat are taken out and hung on a rack, and when they are dry, they can be used to weave beautiful woolen sweaters.
Zhang Xiaoxue let the big dye not worry, let him dye a lot of different colors, there are three or four shades of red alone, there are several colors of green, there are many varieties of blue, and some other black, yellow, orange, purple, and gray are also dyed.
The real variety is very complete, and Zhang Xiaoxue is very happy to see it, and she is thinking in her heart, what color woolen sweater to knit first.
Of course, the wool thread dyed just now was still wet and not dry, Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't use it now, anyway, it was idle and idle, so Zhang Xiaoxue took out some wool thread that was not dyed and began to knit socks.
After she knitted two pairs of socks, she happily took them to the trading shop, and still set the unit price at 20 star coins to sell.
As soon as he came out of the trading shop, he didn't expect to hear the system's prompt bell: The green gourd planted in the ground can also be harvested at the last stubble, so Zhang Xiaoxue hurriedly harvested the green gourd with his mind.
Now the farm is still level 22, Zhang Xiaoxue knows that the level 21 farm can grow dragon fruit, but Zhang Xiaoxue does not plan to plant dragon fruit, but wants to plant level 22 crops.
What kind of crops can be grown on a level 22 farm? Zhang Xiaoxue hadn't checked it yet, so she clicked on the farm's shop and saw that the level 22 crop turned out to be kiwifruit.
Hehe, it's another fruit, the nutritional value of this kiwi is very high, and the taste is also very delicious, Zhang Xiaoxue also likes to eat this fruit.
Happily bought seven kiwifruit seedlings and planted them quickly, Zhang Xiaoxue took care of her own farm, and then went to her friends' farms to steal vegetables for a while.
This time stealing vegetables was very unexpected, and in the farm of my friend's tears in the rain, I stole three portions of Tianqi, it seems that she should be planting a prize seed, which is a good medicinal herb and is widely used.
Zhang Xiaoxue didn't think about taking them out and selling them, but wanted to keep them, maybe they would be used in the future.
