Chapter 301: Green Dye
It was impossible to measure him without alarming Hu Yin, so Zhu Yuanyuan could only use a few soft vines to complete the work on the grounds of preparing gifts for him.
The animal skin vest was simple and easy to make, and it didn't take much time, and she smiled happily as she looked at the three-piece suit placed on the kang.
"It seems that my talent in dressmaking is not bad, and in the future, there will be more cotton cloth, and dyes will have to be found as soon as possible, so that I can get rid of the days of wearing animal skin clothes as soon as possible."
It's not that the hides are bad, it's just that the way the clothes are made is too rough, and there is no soft lining, so it feels really bad to wear it directly on the body.
Eating has improved, and the next thing that needs to change urgently is wearing.
The three-piece set of cotton jacket, pullover, and animal skin vest looks good, and it is not only loved by the great witch, but also recognized by the leaders and patriarchs.
Bai Danian circled around Hu Yin, who was wearing new clothes, and sighed from time to time, "Cotton cloth is comfortable to touch, and wearing cotton jackets looks better than wearing animal skin clothes."
"Yes," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded in agreement, "It's very easy to put on and take off, but the color is a little light, and I'll look for plants that can be dyed in the future, I remember that there is a kind of green fruit that is not very delicious, but the juice does not fall off when it is dyed on the clothes."
Bai Danian thought for a moment, "There is such a thing, no one in the tribe is willing to pick it after there is no shortage of food, if you think it is useful, I will ask the people of the gathering team to pick it back."
"Pick a small amount first," Zhu Yuanyuan asked, "wait until I can see if I can use it, and then pick it if I can really dye the cloth green."
Everyone is busy picking wild fruits and collecting mountain goods, and time is very precious, so she can't take up too much.
In fact, she can also find time to pick it herself, but she doesn't know where the fruit grows, and it is a waste of time to look for it without a head.
Bai Danian's efficiency was very good, and he soon asked people to pick half a basket of green fruits back to the tribe, and sent them directly to Zhu Yuanyuan's small courtyard and left a message, "Even if you try, if it's not enough, tell me and let people pick it."
With his words as a foundation, Zhu Yuanyuan was relieved to boldly start experimenting, she bought a tutorial on soil dyeing cloth in the mall, and after reading it a few times, she tried to mix dyes, put the cotton cloth in it and soaked it, and successfully got a light green cloth.
"Yes, light green, it will definitely look good in a dress."
Zhu Yuanyuan was very satisfied, and tried to put more green fruits to deepen the color, and got a piece of grass-green cloth, and suddenly felt happy, "I can make beautiful skirts in the future."
The leader is generous, and if she succeeds in dyeing a green cloth, she will definitely be rewarded with a piece.
Zhu Yuanyuan was right, Bai Danian was very surprised when he saw the green cloth, and he praised the beauty without hesitation, and said, "I want to use this cloth to make a dress and wear it when I go to the exchange meeting."
Although it seems a little strange for a big man to wear a set of green clothes and pants, it is quite eye-catching to wear it like this until I find another color dye.
The leader is afraid that he wants to exchange the scarce green cotton cloth for the good things of other tribes.
Zhu Yuanyuan expressed his understanding and took the initiative to say, "I don't have much free time, so let's find a few people to learn how to dye cloth."
"Okay," Bai Danian readily agreed, "In the future, you don't have to go to Dashitai to get meat by yourself, just like Dawu, I'll let people send it directly."
He has become accustomed to the great witch disciples making some strange things, and the female who is favored by the beast god is really smart and has contributed a lot to the tribe, and the treatment should be improved accordingly.
There is no stupid person who is the leader, he knows that he cannot treat the meritorious person badly, and if he makes people happy, there will be good things in the future.
"Okay," Zhu Yuanyuan accepted calmly.
In fact, she hadn't gone to get the meat herself for a while, and it was all brought back by Baishi, but the leader asked people to send it to represent the improvement of status, and a fool would refuse.
"Do you have time to teach tomorrow?" Bai Danian asked.
"Master has to rest after lunch, or after dinner," Zhu Yuanyuan gave two options, "By the way, the green fruit is gone, so I have to pick some more."
It takes investment to do experiments, and it is normal to use more raw materials, Bai Danian didn't feel wrong, nodded and responded, "I know, I'll ask people to find you after lunch, and it's just in the morning to pick some green fruits."
"No problem," Zhu Yuanyuan was very happy, "
Then I'll go first."
It's a good thing that it doesn't affect sleeping at night, but you have to wait a little longer to brush your daily life, and start after teaching people to dye cloth, anyway, she is not in a hurry.
"Go ahead," Bai Danian smiled with a wrinkled face, and at this time people intuitively felt that he was not young.
As a tribal leader, there are too many things to do, and even the little thing of dyeing cloth has to be managed, which is really hard~
People in their seventies, in modern society, are the age of retirement, but in the orc world, they still have to work non-stop, otherwise they won't even be able to eat a full meal.
Zhu Yuanyuan felt an inexplicable sour feeling in her heart, will she be like the leader in the future, so busy that she can't walk before she can lie flat?
It's scary to think about.
"Come on!" Zhu Yuanyuan clenched his fist with his right hand to cheer himself up, "In order to have a comfortable retirement life, we must lead everyone to farm and raise livestock, and no longer rely on hunting and picking mountain goods to make a living."
After making her wish, she became more interested in the sheep and rabbits in the family, and took up the play time of the half-grown cubs, exchanging jerky for dozens of bales of hay.
The snow season is cold, and I can't go out to fetch fresh grass to feed, so I can only make do with hay.
The problem of keeping warm also needs to be solved, it is impossible to move into the house, the smell is too bad, she can't stand it, or she has to find a way to increase the warmth of the stone house,
Then there is the problem of feeding in the snow season, it is too difficult to feed the sheep behind the house in heavy snowy days, and it happens that the stone house is built according to the house, and the correct location is opened to open the door, so that it can not only isolate the smell, but also facilitate feeding.
Zhu Yuanyuan has a lot of strength, and he doesn't need to find someone to help, after eating dinner, he started to use the stone hammer, easily knocked out a doorway, and saw the two sheep who were frightened and shivering in the corner of the wall before he remembered, "Emma, the door panel is not ready."
I don't want to admit that it was my mistake to act impulsively, so I have to attribute it to opening the door opening and measuring the size of the door panel.
There is a problem, there is no door to block, what should the two sheep do when they run into the house?
A quarter of an hour later, the sheep with five vines tied up was lying on the ground bleating, looking so pitiful.
"Ahem," Zhu Yuanyuan cleared his throat and cheekily reassured, "If you are wronged, you will lie down first, and wait for me to come to the door."
Thanks to her wit, when she saw that there was nothing to do, she cooked dinner early, so that she had time to toss the back door.
Just measuring the size of the door frame, Shiraishi came to him, asked if he wanted to make the door panel, and took over, his hand was steady and fast, and it didn't take much effort to make it and install it on the door frame.
Zhu Yuanyuan tried it, and there was only a slight creak when the door was opened and closed, not harsh.
"Brother Shiraishi is amazing!" Zhu Yuanyuan gave a thumbs up, "Half of my carpenters are not as good as you."
"There's such a job for me from now on," Shiraishi demanded.
"No," Zhu Yuanyuan went to untie the sheep, "I do it when I think of it, but I can't wait for you to come."
Shiraishi smiled helplessly, "You! I'm too anxious, and it's okay to put off some things."
