Immediately afterwards, the third uncle appeared at the gate of the courtyard, shouting at a guy who came with him, and moved the fabrics to the empty room where he lived in the second room before.

Helan Yue was also about to help move the fabric, but was stopped by the third uncle, "Yue'er Xing'er, you all rest, leave this heavy work to our adults." ”

Where can Helan Yue be idle, and the eldest sister and the two of them carry a bundle of cloth, which will not be too heavy.

The big mountains and small hills also did the same, and the two of them carried a bundle of cloth.

The third uncle saw that he couldn't stop a few children, so he could only speed up his pace with the guy who helped.

It was noon at this time, and the people who went out to dig Banxia also came back for a lunch break, and saw that the He family bought so many fabrics, and there were also good things, so they came over to join in the fun.

Some people followed suit.

"I said He Laosan, your family can't wear all the fabrics you buy for several generations, or you can be cheaper and sell some to us."

"It looks like it's all white cloth, and it's okay to make underwear, if it's cheap, I'll buy a little bit too."

Everyone has a time when Tian Ding is imported.

There are also many places where cloth is used, so you can save a little cloth at home, and you don't have to rush to the town to buy expensive ones.

The third uncle can also understand them, "I can sell the cloth to you, but I must say it first, these cloths are all flawed, because they are white muslin cloth and soaked by the rain, and there are water marks on it, so the owner asked me to bring it back to the villages to sell, if you can accept it, then there is no problem." ”

Someone else asked, "Cloth has a question, how much does this cost?" If it's too expensive, we can't afford it. ”

The third uncle looked at everyone and said unhurriedly: "Everyone knows that this fine cotton is in the town, and it costs thirty-six wen and one foot, but now there are flaws, and the boss asked me to sell it for twenty-five wen and one foot." ”

Everyone looked at the white muslin on the ox cart, and a few people gritted their teeth, said hello, and came to buy it later, and the others also dispersed.

When the He family moved the cloth into the house, they said hello before, and the people who came to buy the cloth came one after another, and they all bought some fabrics, but the amount of money they bought was not very much.

After all, the price of this fine cotton is not cheap.

If you buy a foot of fine cotton, you can eat more than a pound of meat.

During the meal, Helan Yue asked the doubts in her heart, "Third uncle, why don't your owners dye these white muslin cloths in other colors and sell them." ”

The third uncle put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Because of the low yield of cotton, the price of these white muslins is not low.

Besides, those who can afford to wear fine cotton are some merchants, and scholars will also buy and wear them for the sake of decency, and these white muslin cloths I pulled back today are all used for underwear, which is the amount that our shop can only sell in a year.

In order not to cause accumulation of goods and reduce losses, the owner is ready to sell at a low price, so I asked the owner for this batch of goods, although selling a foot of cloth can earn three cents, but all of it is also a lot of income. ”

Helan Yue smiled with crooked eyebrows, although the third uncle is a scholar, he is not pedantic at all, and his mind is also flexible, no wonder he did business so well in the previous life.

After the meal, He Lanyue and the eldest sister washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and went back to the room.

When the two of them were lying in bed and resting in the morning, He Lanyue entered the space with her mind.

She seemed to have seen a paper book in the space before, and she had seen a book about dyeing cloth.

If she could learn how to dye cloth, then this batch of white muslin would not have to be sold so cheaply, and maybe she could make a lot of money.

In this way, the third uncle can go to study with peace of mind.

Her mind slowly checked the bookshelves in the space, and suddenly a stinging pain bounced her thoughts out of the space.

Helan Yue couldn't help but sigh, her current mind still needs to be exercised well, and it took less than a cup of tea to get in, and it was popped out, which shows that her mind is not strong enough!

Seeing that the food in the space and some fruits are about to ripen, if her mind is not strong enough, she will have to rely on her hands to work at that time, and it feels so painful to think about it!

After resting for a while, she felt that her head didn't hurt so much and went in again.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and when he went in for the third time, he finally found the book about dyeing cloth.

After resting for half an hour, the eldest sister got up and walked out of the room.

He Lanyue hurriedly got up and bolted the door of the room and entered the space.

I picked up the book and read it carefully to find the easiest way to do it.

When I went to the room where the medicinal herbs were stored, I found the gardenia mentioned in the book, which was both a medicinal herb and a dye.

Take the right amount and get out of the space.

She found the third uncle, "Third uncle, I want ten feet of cloth." ”

The third uncle didn't even ask what she was going to do, and nodded very simply.

"Okay, let your third aunt help you cut it."

The family was sharpening their sickles and packing up farm tools at this time, just thinking that she was going to make underwear, but they were all pampering and smiling, and they didn't say anything.

She went to the backyard, built a simple earthen stove out of adobe bricks, went to the kitchen and took a large earthen pot, poured water into it and put it in the gardenia, covered the pot and began to boil over a high fire.

The sisters-in-law next to her were busy with their own work, and no one noticed what she was doing.

After more than a quarter of an hour, she placed the cloth in the earthen pot.

In order to make the cloth evenly colored, she took a stick and stirred it slowly until the color of the cloth turned a faint yellow, and then waited until it was darker, she added alum and stirred it evenly, and then soaked a cup of tea, and then scooped up the cloth.

She did not wash the cloth in the yard, but took a basin with it and went to the back stream.

After the cloth is soaked in alum, the color has basically been fixed.

She washed the fabric in the stream for a while, and when she saw that it was the pale yellow she wanted, she couldn't help but feel amazing.

She wrung out the fabric, took it and left home.

If you dry the fabric in your own yard, it will definitely cause quite a stir.

In their whole village, apart from black, gray, and white, and the bright red worn by the bride, she had never seen anything else.

Even in the town, it's rare to see people wearing brightly colored clothes.

Luo Li's courtyard door was unlocked, she screamed, the door of the back room opened, and Luo Li walked out.

"Come in!"

Helan Yue walked in, asked Luo Li for a rag, and after wiping the pole for drying clothes, she dried the pale yellow cloth in the basin.

Luo Li was also slightly surprised when he saw the cloth she dried, but he didn't ask anything, and hurriedly went up to help.

"Brother, this cloth is dry, please help me collect it, I'll get it later."
