"Forgive the old shopkeeper for being clumsy, it turned out to be Miss Table!" The big shopkeeper bowed respectfully, then looked at Ling Zhirong and said, "Young Master, look, the color in this pool is a bit strange. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Ling Zhirong cast her gaze, frowned, and turned her head to look at Qi Gui: "I'll go to the edge of the pool, you just stand here and watch me, don't go away." ”

Qi Gui nodded, and watched Ling Zhirong lift his robe and jump directly onto the pool of blue paint.

And her thoughts are still precipitated in the "idiot cousin" that Ling Zhirong said just now, the implication is that she is also his cousin?

With such an important character relationship, Murong Fool, a stupid person, didn't tell her!

She didn't know what to call Ling Zhirong all the time, but fortunately she didn't call it anything, if she called it wrong, wouldn't it be exposed?

I suddenly remembered that Ling Zhirong was one of the people who knew the snow silk process, just now she pretended not to be interested in everything, just to save her life, and now seeing that Ling Zhirong was not bad to herself, she suddenly thought, even if she didn't let Ling Zhirong tell her about the snow silk process, if she had a way to make him trust herself, when he weaved the snow silk step by step, she was watching quietly, she was so smart, she should be able to understand a rough idea?

Such thoughts hovered in the mind of Qi Gui, lingering for a long time. She only hoped that she could get this quickly, wait for Ling Xu quickly, and then the two of them would go home together!

If she really can, she doesn't mind, for the sake of love, for the sake of going home, take a risk!

Ling Zhirong walked along the edge of the pool to the side of the cloth frame, raised her hand to grab the white place and pulled it up, and immediately frowned: "The color is quite strange." ”

The big shopkeeper stepped forward and said: "I originally thought, otherwise I would use this new blue to sell and see, but we tried two finished products, and the color faded as soon as it entered the water, and the color fell unevenly. ”

"How so?" Ling Zhirong said, "I'll take a look at the dye." ”

"Okay."

Ling Zhirong jumped down from the edge of the pool, and the moment she passed by Qi Gui, she grabbed her hand and led her to the small warehouse in front of her where the dye was stored.

Qi Gui followed him and strode forward, and after stopping, Ling Zhirong let go of her and began to check the dye very seriously.

The big shopkeeper even took out two pigment powders that were blended in strict accordance with the prescribed proportions to show Ling Zhirong, he gently pinched some, put them on his fingertips and rubbed them, and said, "No problem, it shouldn't be!" Where did the dye come in this time? ”

"It's always Xu Ji, I also talked to their boss in the morning, and there is no problem with their dye!"

"How can this be ......"

Just when the two of them were confused, Qi Gui's eyes lit up: "What about the water?" What about the water that mixes the pigments? Is there a problem? ”

She remembers that many colors have their own pH, referred to as pH, for example, the purer the grape, the more acidic it is, not that the taste is more acidic, but the acidity and alkalinity. Most of the dyes in this era are taken from natural pigments, without chemical additives, so there is no problem with neutral water to debug these pigments, if there is a large difference in pH, it will directly affect the pH value of the pigment itself, change the color, or make the color can not be neutralized.

Of course, she could only put these truths in her heart, and it was impossible for her to say them to Ling Zhirong.

And the big shopkeeper and Ling Zhirong were both slightly stunned, looking at her in some surprise, as if they didn't expect her to speak.

The big shopkeeper smiled slightly: "Miss Biao, that's the case, the water for the pigments of our Weaving Bureau is all from the water in our own century-old well!" There can't be a problem, we've all been using it for so many years. ”

"Has it rained lately? The big kind, but you don't have a lid on the well water? But he didn't give up his point of view.

Hearing this, Ling Zhirong looked at her with some depth and nodded: "Yes, the day before you came back, it was still raining heavily, but the manhole cover was ......."

He turned his head to look at the big shopkeeper, and the big shopkeeper said frankly: "It's not covered!" That day the well overflowed, and I covered it. ”

"That's right! The rain must have been acid rain, with a corrosive effect, just like the walls of the courtyard where we lived, with blue bricks and white tiles, and large bluestones, which looked so hard that the rain could not destroy them, but after ten or eight years, the walls would become mottled. The so-called drop stone wears, that's what it means! Therefore, the acidic rainwater destroys the quality of the original well water, which can lead to color problems. ”

"Forehead ......" The big shopkeeper looked at Qi Gui in a daze, his expression a little wooden.

Qi Gui raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't believe me? ”

“……”

Qi Gui was a little unhappy, but he didn't want to worry about him, and he knew: "Let's do an experiment, take a basin, fill it with well water, take some pebbles, and put it on a plate to boil together!" Use the water in which the stones have been boiled to mix your pigments and see if the color becomes normal! ”

When she was still in modern times, she followed her parents in a big restaurant, watching people use clean pebbles directly into the pot to cook soup or cook, she was curious at the time, and the waiter explained: The silicate on the stone is weakly alkaline, which can balance the acidity in the body and is good for the body.

Not far away, a blue mountain quietly watched here, and I don't know how long I have been standing here.

After praying for the return, when the big shopkeeper looked puzzled, he said loudly: "Do what Miss Watch says!" Boil the stone with well water, and use the boiled water to adjust the pigment! ”

"Yes! Master! After the big shopkeeper finished speaking, he immediately went to do it.

Qi Gui was stunned when he heard this, turned around, looked at the man in blue who was getting closer and closer, raised his eyebrows, and Ling Zhirong beside him called him respectfully: "Father!" ”

"Hmm." The man walked over and looked at Qi Gui's face, slightly stunned, obviously surprised by her appearance.

However, he quickly laughed happily and said, "If you want to come to the peerless world, the sister of a mother's compatriot will inevitably fall into the country." ”

Qi Gui hung his head cautiously and did not speak.

Her face is pitiful, her little head is spinning fast, and her uncle and uncle's children can be called cousins! And the person in front of him, should he be called uncle or uncle?

Ling Zhirong saw that her face was aggrieved and restrained, and immediately leaned over to her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll introduce you, this is my father Ling Jingchuan, that is, your uncle!" ”

Qi Gui immediately gave a salute: "Hello uncle! ”

Ling Jingchuan smiled and said, "Okay." ”

As he spoke, the chief shopkeeper had already arrived, followed by two men with a small stove in their hands, and an iron basin on top of it, which was full of pebbles.

The things were put aside in the reserve warehouse, and the chief treasurer personally lit the fire, and in less than half a column of incense, the water was boiled.
