Chapter 113: The Art of Dyeing Cloth
After Ripple got the thank you gift of the red flower, he cut off a small piece and put it in the water to melt, and then he got the color of the peacock's tail in a small wooden basin, and after the halo was opened, it was circled from shallow to deep, which was very beautiful.
Ripple first experimented with a small piece of linen cloth that he used as a handkerchief, and after putting it in, the color was automatically absorbed by the linen, and when the color in the wooden basin was absorbed by all the linen cloth he put in, the water in the basin became much clearer.
Ripple took out the handkerchief, and then put it in the sun to dry, until the burlap was dry, and then rubbed it with his hands, and the warmth was said with surprise in his eyes:
"This color cloth is so beautiful! We've never seen linen in any other color. ”
As she spoke, she took out her treasured linen cloth from the package, wanting Ripples to help her dye it this peacock color.
"Don't worry, you have to wash it in water to see if it fades."
Ripples slammed a wooden basin of water, then put a small linen handkerchief into it, and began to rub it vigorously, and sure enough, after a while, the water in the basin turned peacock color, and the linen cloth also revealed its original color.
Warmth and the three orcs were a little disappointed, but they didn't expect this good-looking color to fade as soon as they were washed.
Ripple is not surprised, after all, there is no fixing agent in this world, she thought about it, and said to Du:
"Get some salt."
In her memory, salt was a fix.
Du handed a small animal skin bag to Ripples, and then said:
"We don't have much salt with us, so we'd better exchange some with the nearby orcs."
"Well, I know, it won't be wasted."
This time the ripples added salt to the wooden basin, and when the salt had melted, she put the dyed linen cloth into the wooden basin again and soaked it, and then small blisters appeared on the colored linen, and after fifteen minutes she took out the handkerchief again and dried it.
Then repeat the last operation, when cleaning the linen again, the linen still faded, but it was not as obvious as the last time, there was still a peacock color on the linen, but after many cleanings, the color would completely fade.
This result is at least better than the first time, so Ripple adjusted the ratio of salt and water again, so that after experimenting again and again, the final peacock-colored fabric will basically not fade as soon as it is washed.
Ripple first dyed the set of linen clothes he was wearing peacock color, and then began to dye the entire linen cloth that contributed warmth to peacock color.
And their group also arrived at the land of the Peacock Clan, and in order to show the advantage that they can fly, the land of the Peacock Clan is all tall trees.
Ripple only took Meng and went to the periphery of the Peacock Clan's land, and did not enter without permission, and then let Meng roar.
After the "roar", there was an immediate response, and Ripple waited very patiently, and forty minutes later, he saw a flock of gorgeous peacocks flying in their direction.
After a group of six male peacocks landed, the peacock led by him turned into a two-meter-tall, lean male peacock and walked out, looked at the ripples and fierce vigilantly, and asked directly:
"Which orc are you from? What are you doing with our peacocks? ”
"Hello! I am the female ripple and the messenger of the beast god, and we are here to exchange some salt with you for our newfound food. ”
Ripple replied with a smile.
At the same time, the beast mark on her eyebrows flashed, making the six peacocks on the opposite side feel a powerful power, and this power they only felt on the body of the clan witch, so they also put away their guard and were a little more respectful.
"This is my follower Meng, he is the guard sent to me by the bear clan."
The ripples simply indicate the identity of Meng.
Meng just nodded slightly, indicating that Ripple was right.
The male peacock green in the lead, looking at the two people opposite, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, not long ago he had heard Wu mention that there was a messenger of the beast god, wandering in the territory of various beast tribes, and discovering a lot of new food, so that the beast tribes could survive the rainy and cold seasons safely.
His gaze was focused on Ripples, the linen cloth they were wearing was actually colored, and it was similar to the color of their males.
"It turned out to be the messenger of the beast god, welcome to the Peacock Clan!"
After performing the etiquette of an orc, he sent out an invitation, and although the other party revealed his identity, he felt that it was better to let the witches of the clan meet.
"I still have two followers, it's inconvenient to go to the clan with you now, I'll give you the new food to exchange for first, and tomorrow you can bring salt here."
Ripple said generously, she was not worried that the other party would not admit it at all.
Midori hesitated, but nodded in response:
"Don't worry, we'll be here tomorrow at the same time."
Immediately, Midori took a rattan basket that was handed over, and it was heavy and there were a lot of things in it.
There were potatoes, sweet potatoes, fern root vermicelli, corn flour, a small jar of snake jam, some green onions, ginger, garlic and dried chilies, a few seasoned fruits, and most importantly, a peacock-colored square linen.
Green eyes swept over these things, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect the other party to trust them so much and give so many things directly.
"Give it to Wu, and he'll know how to eat it."
After Ripple finished speaking, he walked away with a fierce and sloppy manner.
"Captain, is she really the messenger of the Beast God?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, otherwise it wouldn't be so generous and give us so many things! And you felt it just now, right? ”
"Hmmm! But we didn't have much salt with us when she asked for it, and it would take at least seven or eight days to return to the clan."
The other orc immediately said.
Because their team belonged to the patrol orcs, and they happened to be on the edge of the territory of the patrol clan, so they would appear in front of them as quickly as possible after hearing the fierce roar.
"Xiang, your speed is the fastest among us, you take these things and immediately return to the tribe, give the things to Wu, let him determine the identity of the other party, we will first put together the salt on our bodies and hand it to this messenger."
Green is the final word.
"Good! This is my salt bag. ”
Xiang's body was the thinnest of the six, so after he turned into a beast, he flew farther than them, so he took this task seriously, leaving his own salt bag, Xiang picked up the rattan basket on his back and turned into a beast body, waving his wings and flying a long distance.
On the second day, Midori brought only one companion to the agreed place, handed the salt that the six people had gathered together to Ripple, and explained:
"Divine envoy, because you came suddenly, we belong to the squad patrolling the periphery, so far we have only collected this salt, and the rest should still be on the way to be delivered, it will take a few days, if the speed of the flight is fast, the witch of our clan will send you an invitation."
