Jinxin

Chapter 36 Dyes
It's just that the dyeing agent in my hand at this time is a bit too bad. I don't know if it's because Lao Lintou didn't look down on her or there are really only these things in the shop. Such color blocks melt together, even if they can dye a few pieces of cloth, they can be dyed. It will definitely not be reliable, because the printing and dyeing is underdeveloped, so the common people are very tolerant of the "fading phenomenon" of the fabric, but if it is washed once, it will turn white soon. This is something that no one can tolerate, right?Thinking of this, Ruan Yunsi glanced at Lao Lin, knowing that he was just fooling herself. If these dyes were used for painting and coloring, it would make sense, but if it was dyeing clothes, it must not be done. If their family produced such cloth, It's long since closed.

When Lao Lintou saw Ruan Yunsi's glance, although the other party didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that the girl was really upright, so he couldn't help being a little surprised, and Mrs. Li also understood, and forced him to take the good one. I had no choice but to hold another big box. Sure enough, the color blocks this time were much better than before, but they still couldn't meet Ruan Yunsi's requirements.

In ancient times, there were no such chemical printing and dyeing, only natural plant and mineral printing and dyeing. Among them, plant printing and dyeing is the most commonly used, but only plant printing and dyeing is the most complicated and difficult to do.Compared with chemical printing and dyeing, it is more than ten times more complicated?However, because it is natural and harmless, modern times have gradually begun to pay attention to this technology, and it is mostly used in printing and dyeing of silk, which is where Ruan Yunsi's confidence lies.Seeing that these color blocks were still lower than her own standard, she didn't take care of Lao Lintou's business, and Lao Lintou didn't care.

Then I went to several dye shops, and the results were similar.Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Sister Yun, do you think these dyes are too ordinary? In fact, this is also normal, but who doesn't have some secret recipes in their hands in dry dyeing factories? If they are willing to sell them easily, they will No need to do it. Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about the Guiyun silk and satin factories all over the country. I heard that their cloth is specially used by the Jiangnan weaving factory. Even the military uniforms of the army are their cloth, just because it is blue that day Only their family can dye it, even if other families want to grab the business. What is this? Ordinary dye? Of course not, it is the lifeblood of their entire Xu family. I heard that this recipe is only in the hands of previous family heads. Hold on, even if you are a direct son, if you don't become the patriarch, you don't even want to take a look at it."

Ruan Yunsi knew about it, she just wanted to take a look at it this time, but she didn't make up her mind to buy dyes and rush to do it.Now she has only one person, even if she dyes cloth, she can only do small work, dye some small cloth for retail sale, if she wants to make it bigger, she has to hire people.Because I can figure it out by myself, if it’s a random thing, it’s better to buy some safflower and blue grass and refine it myself. Although one person’s power is limited, it’s impossible to have too many, but it’s enough.It won't be too late to make it a little bigger when this business can go through slowly.

Thinking in his mind, seeing that it was almost noon, the three women were embarrassed to go into the restaurant, so they bought some big buns by the roadside and left the city.Yunniang seldom goes to the city on weekdays, and Ruan Yunsi dragged her here today, so she couldn't hide her excitement at this time, chattering while eating, both Ruan Yunsi and Li couldn't help laughing and said: "Just calm down, If you haven't seen the sky, it's a good thing you're out of the city, otherwise people will see such a crazy woman, and they don't know how to criticize you behind your back."

Yunniang smiled and said, "Am I afraid of being criticized? Anyway, the dead ghost of my family is gone, and I don't plan to marry again, so why should I be afraid of being criticized?" While talking, she took another bite of the big bun and said with a grin: "This bun tastes really good. , In fact, there is not much meat, it's just because there is a lot of oil. Sister, Zuo Zuo's family also refined some oil during the Chinese New Year, why not go back and dig some shepherd's purse, and let's make big buns to eat."

They talked and laughed as they went far away, the young servant named Yan who followed from here stood at the gate of the city, and then went back.After arriving at the Cloud Building, I saw another companion reporting to Su Mingxi where Ruan Yunsi had just walked.

"Dye shop? She actually wants to print and dye? This is a bit interesting. I only thought of her as an ordinary country girl, but I didn't expect her to have some skills." Su Mingxi tapped his palm with a folding fan, but listened to the book and laughed. Said: "Why did you conclude that she has the ability? Maybe it's just taken for granted. If printing and dyeing bought dyeing agent and threw it into the water tank, then put the white cloth down to soak it, and then fished it up, it would be done. Now I don't know if there is any." There are so many printing and dyeing shops, not to mention she is just a woman, what can she do?"

Su Mingxi didn't speak, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. He thought he knew a little about Ruan Yunsi. She was definitely not a girl who took it for granted. Just by looking at her eyes, she knew that she was a resolute, kind-hearted girl who knew how to advance and retreat. Women, if they are not certain, they will never want to do printing and dyeing in a whimsical way.Although women are inherently weak and can only rely on men to survive, but in which dynasty did there not have some strange women who refused to let men?It's Qin Bing from the previous dynasty. Isn't that also a world-famous wealthy businesswoman?How could she know that Ruan Yunsi would not be the second Qin Bing?

After thinking about it carefully, although she wanted to help Ruan Yunsi, those shops would not easily sell this really good dye, and watching Ruan Yunsi's behavior, she seemed to know it well.So Su Mingxi just hesitated for a moment, and decided not to interfere in this matter.

Spring goes to summer, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather gets hotter day by day.In the past few months, Ruan Yunsi made some more money from weaving. With a calculation in mind, she went to Mrs. Li and said, "Now I don't want to weave for others anymore. I just want to buy some raw silk by myself and dye it after weaving." They are not sold to high-ranking officials or dignitaries, but to neighbors. Although few people can afford silk and satin, it is good to make a sachet or handkerchief. Besides, there are quite a few big people around us. Rich man, they may not use these, but I don't know if Mrs. Li can help me with this.

Mrs. Li was very surprised, and then felt a pity. In her opinion, Ruan Yunsi was a bit greedy. How could it be so easy to dye cloth?However, she had tried to persuade her before, and now that the other party was still so persistent, she had nothing to say, so she agreed after a few words of persuasion were useless, and sure enough, she brought Ruan Yunsi and Yunniang into the city the next day and bought twenty or thirty Jin raw silk came back.

Then Ruan Yunsi got busy, and there were some dyed wild plants in the western mountains, but the number was not many, far from enough for her consumption.It should be noted that safflower, bluegrass, perilla and other things are now specially planted, but hematodes and so on rely on overseas trade, and the country has not yet started planting.So she ran in the mountains for a few days, and didn't harvest any dyeing plants, but accidentally discovered a mordant raw material that can be used to fix colors.

This time Ruan Yunsi was very happy. She remembered clearly that this plant called "Yehe" is a newly discovered mordant in modern times, which is very helpful for color fixing.And other kinds of inconspicuous blue or green or red grass can not be used as dyes, but can be used as toners, and this kind of toners can change a color spectrum from light to dark with only a small amount. Deep and slowly tune out.
