The recipe for making indigo given by the system has many sources, but it is basically a statement that the soup is not changed.

There are five types of bluegrass that can be made into indigo. Tea blue is woad blue, and the roots are live. Indigo, Ma Lan, Wu Lan and so on are all sprinkled. Indigo leaflets, commonly known as amaranth, seedlings are better.

"Guangxu Tongzhou Chronicles" recorded: "Planting blue into a furrow, cutting the head blue in May, and then cutting the second blue in July, a pool of water, absorbing water and soaking it into lime, stirring a thousand times, removing the water, that is, indigo." It is used for dyeing cloth, and it is called small tank green. Those who are out of the gao are especially good at fame. ”

In the secret recipe, it is recorded in detail that before and after the summer heat, before and after the white dew, the knotweed leaves can be collected in two phases, and 28 catties of net leaves and 12 catties of lime can be mixed into a material, and the four ingredients can be made into a load of blue indigo, which is shaped like silt.

That's why a lot of people call it indigo.

However, the land in Tan Qingqing's space does not have the requirement of solar terms. Whatever you want.

So Tan Qingqing quickly found a big water tank, soaked all the blue grass in water, sprinkled lime, kept stirring, and poured out the water, leaving only the indigo like silt, which was put into a clay pot for preservation.

When you use it, take the indigo out of the clay pot, enlarge the jar, add water, add grass and wood ash water, and wait until the indigo in the large dyeing vat is completely settled, and then open the jar and throw the plain cloth into it for dyeing.

Although the book says that blue, red, yellow, white, and black are the five primary colors, mixing the primary colors can give you the intermediate colors.

But Tan Qingqing didn't want to make it so complicated, just making a blue indigo took Tan Qingqing several days.

Not to mention that madder grass is cut and crushed and dyed with white vinegar, and turmeric can be ground into powder to dye turmeric. Even if the comfrey is added with alum and acid, and the purple pigment is kneaded by hand, it is not an easy job.

But in the end, these colors were dyed, and Tan Qingqing felt that the lilac dyed by comfrey was the most beautiful, followed by turmeric and madder.

As for indigo, the color dyed is too dark. Tan Qingqing himself doesn't like it very much, probably because he added a little less water.

But it doesn't matter.

She's already got it out anyway. All that's left is to throw the cloth into the dye vat and dye it in large quantities.

Because of indigo, Tan Qingqing made the most. So indigo, Tan Qingqing is also dyed the most.

In the final dyed cloth, three are indigo, one is red, one is turmeric, and one is lavender.

This lilac, Tan Qingqing decided to give it a separate name, called Snow Cyan. Of course, it can also be called green lotus purple or cyan.

In short, this lilac simply stepped on Tan Qingqing's aesthetic point, so that Tan Qingqing didn't want to give away this cloth.

Even, Tan Qingqing touched it, and felt that dyeing this snow blue with plain linen cloth was a bit abrupt about this color. If you want to dye it, you should dye it with vegetarian yarn. Otherwise, it seems that the fabric and color are a little mismatched.

It's just a pity that Tan Qingqing didn't buy back much Sumin, not a single Sumin.

I knew that I should go to Dong's Cloth Workshop again and buy some vegetarian food again.

Next, it's time to make silk flowers.

Silk flowers, first to dye the silk cloth, and then according to the content on the design drawings, cut and glue.

It took Tan Qingqing several days of hard work to make five rose silk flowers.

Because the raw materials of the color are limited, it cannot be made into the best looking lotus color. After all, the lotus rose needs red and white, and a little orange to be blended.

Therefore, Tan Qingqing can only use snow blue and madder color on the existing basis. Anyway, the rose petals that come out of these two colors, mixed together, are quite beautiful. As long as you add a little white, you can perfectly blend with the snow blue.

And white, because lead white is poisonous, so Tan Qingqing uses clam powder.

In short, the color of silk flowers, Tan Qingqing is mainly light and translucent. The color should not be too heavy, too deep and too deep will make the silk flower gaudy and not smart enough.

Finally, the petals of these silk flowers are glued together according to the color and size of the petals, and the beautiful silk flowers are made.

And the time is just around the end of the 240 hours of the game's setup.

Tan Qingqing hugged the safflower powder, dyed cloth and rose silk flowers and sent them to Hongyi Courtyard.

When I walked to the door, I happened to see Su Niang on the railing upstairs, looking at the gorgeous material on others, and secretly sad.

In the game, both men and women in Yihong Courtyard can enter at will. Men come to the wind and snow, and women can too. Although the women who come to Yihong Courtyard are either to accompany customers or to sell goods. There aren't many women who come to play. But Tan Qingqing still felt that this Yihong Courtyard was a little depressed.

I don't know if it's because of the bad ventilation, the smell of rouge gouache is too strong. Or because of something.

In short, Tan Qingqing took two steps, and he felt out of breath.

With the idea of a quick solution, Tan Qingqing walked to Su Niang's side and gave the fabric she had dyed to Su Niang.

"A while ago, you were the one who said on the sign that you wanted cheap ingredients, right?"

Tan Qingqing said, "I took over the task. As for me, it took a lot of effort to get these dyes and dye these cloths. Although the dyed cloth is not as good as that of Dong's dyeing workshop. There is even a lot of color difference. But what about the color, it's definitely uniform. ”

"You see?"

Tan Qingqing handed the fabric to Su Niang.

Su Niang took it, looked at it, and nodded, "Although it is not beautiful, it is also Zhou Cheng." Especially this lilac material......"

"Snow blue." Tan Qingqing added.

Su Niang nodded, "This snow-blue material is so beautiful." Pure and elegant, it is to use plain hemp to dye ......"

Tan Qingqing saw that Su Niang's face was hesitant, and hurriedly said.

"Mainly because you don't have a lot of money. If you can pay a little more next time, maybe I can help you dye it with better ingredients. ”

Speaking of silver two, Su Niang's eyebrows were also gloomy.

"Hey, if I have money, why bother looking for you? Wouldn't it be enough to go directly to Dong's Cloth Workshop? It's a pity that Dong's cloth workshop has always only looked at big families. For those of us, we always talk with our noses up. Their shop, even the cheapest burlap, is 125 wen a horse. ”

"You must know that before their Dong family monopolized Yuzhou City, the coarse hemp of each family was only 65 yuan. It's nearly doubled. ”

Tan Qingqing, "......"

This price was set by Dong's Cloth Workshop, and Tan Qingqing was not a supplier to Dong's Cloth Workshop, so she had no way to influence the pricing of Dong's Cloth Workshop.

However, the coarse linen was originally only 65 yuan a horse. It shows that the cost of coarse hemp is not high.

And things like fabrics are basically woven by the people themselves at home and then supplied.

If Tan Qingqing can find the weavers, perhaps, she will be able to bypass the Dong family's cloth workshop and connect directly with the weavers.
