After traveling through ancient times, she became a wild woman

Chapter 653 Dyeing clothes

Xiao Se put the washed mugwort into a clay pot, poured water in it, put it on the triangular stove and started cooking it.

After the water is boiled, you can see that the water in the clay pot turns green.

There are many kinds of green. The green we see now is a bit like malachite green.

Xiao Se pouted. He didn't like malachite green at all, so he continued to boil it, hoping to make it thicker and dye it darker.

After cooking for 10 minutes, Night Breeze, under Xiao Se's command, picked up the pottery pot and filtered it into another large pottery pot.

The water in the big pottery basin was dark green. Xiao Se asked Ye Feng to take off his shirt and trousers and stuff them into the big pottery basin.

The naked Ye Feng proudly looked at Xiao Se with his head held high.

Xiao Se didn't even look at him. He took a wooden stick and pressed the clothes into the mugwort water, letting them all get wet and dyed.

Night Breeze looked at Arthur, who only had stained eyes, and picked the leaves dejectedly, so as not to embarrass Arthur.

A Di looked at the leaves on Ye Feng's waist, then looked at the leaves on his body, and screamed, his teeth bared wider than ever. .

Ye Feng glared: "Don't laugh!"

Ah Di rushed to Ah Xin's side, bared his teeth at the night wind, and happily scratched his short hair. His hair stopped itching and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Se saw that the three clothes were soaked and stained, and smiled and said, "Okay, wait."

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Xiao Se sped up to knit a coat for himself.

She also knitted T-shirts, but they were long-sleeved.

It was Ye Feng's first time knitting a T-shirt, and his technique was unfamiliar, and the ramie silk was not well split, so holes, big and small, were unavoidable.

It improved when I was knitting pants, but when it came time to knit my own T-shirts, the density of the clothes was different.
Calculating that the time was about the same, it should be more than an hour, Xiao Se put down the knitting needle, took out the clothes in the large pottery basin, and wrung out the water.

"Ye Feng, pour out the water in the big pottery basin, wash it and bring it over." Xiao Se shouted, twisting the water in his clothes.

Night Breeze, who was tearing the ramie silk, ran over quickly, poured out the water in the big pottery basin, washed it and brought it back.

"Put the salt water in, then pour in some hot water and stir evenly."

Xiao Se was directing, and Ye Feng was doing it. The two of them cooperated very well.

"Bring a clay pot filled with stream water, pour it in, and stir it."

Ye Feng poured a clay pot of stream water into a large clay basin and stirred it with water: "Then what?"

"Then put the clothes down." Xiao Se put the clothes in his hand into the large pottery basin and spread them out to make them even.

Ye Feng was very curious: "Why do you need to put salt water?"

"Putting salt water is to fix the color. If you add vinegar, it will promote dyeing."

But it is not absolute. After all, different materials require different materials to promote dyeing.

For example, linen and cotton are easier to dye.

Ye Feng suddenly realized: "So that's it, I understand."

After almost half an hour of solidification, Xiao Se asked Night Breeze to carry the large pottery basin to the stream and start washing it.

After washing, the dark green water flows out with the clothes, and the color of the dyed clothes can be seen.

Maybe it’s because they are dyed after the clothes are made, so the color on the clothes is darker in some places and lighter in others, but overall it’s pretty good.

At least Xiao Se is very satisfied. The clothes he wears now are not malachite green, but dark green.

Xiao Se was extremely happy and showed it to Ye Feng: "This color is better and darker. When conditions permit, I will get all the colors of those leaves, fruits, flowers, and herbs, and then dye them into many colors." Lots of colors to come.”

Imagine the females in the tribe wearing colorful clothes, how pleasing it would be.Ye Feng looked at Xiao Se's smile and smiled himself: "Yeah, sure, I'll help you then."

"it is good."

Xiao Se washed the clothes five or six times before drying them: "You can wear them now when they are dry. Judging from the scorching heat of the sun, the clothes will dry very quickly."

"Now that I have the conditions to return to the tribe, I can weave the cloth and then dye it. That way the dyeing will be even and the clothes will look better."

The linen dried quickly in the sun. After Ye Feng put on the dyed clothes, he smiled happily and said, "Well, it looks good."

It just looks good. If you ask him to tell you what’s good about it, he can’t tell because he hasn’t experienced anything else.

A Di was swirling around the night wind, looking at his clothes and then at the leaves around his waist. He was very unhappy: "Arthur!"

I want it too, I want it too, I want it too.

Xiao Se, who was knitting clothes, raised his head and looked at A Di: "Do you want it too?"

"Arthur!" Adi directly pulled the leg of Ye Feng's straight trousers, shouting "Arthur".

Ye Feng's chin was slightly raised, and his expression was high. The clothes Arthur made for him were still colorful.

This color is great, you can hide yourself well in the forest, hehe!
Moreover, now that he has it and no one else has it, he is happy and proud.

These pants are quite comfortable to wear, but Ah Di may be pulling on them, which is a bit bad.

"Okay, okay, I will knit your clothes when I finish knitting them. Don't be impatient, just stay calm. It will be yours in a few days." Xiao Se smiled broadly, "Ye Feng, why are you frowning?"

Night Breeze frowned: "He pulled my pants."

Pulling the pants back from Ah Di's hand: "Is this too big? Although it's cool, he can pull it off very smoothly."

Xiao Se smiled, picked up the cloth belt woven next to him, and waved to Night Breeze: "Come here."

Ye Feng walked up to Xiao Se.

Xiao Se bent down and lowered his head, slightly raised the legs of his straight trousers, rolled up the loose trouser legs, and tied up his trouser legs with a cloth belt.

These are leggings, also called leggings, which protect the legs and facilitate marching.

Ye Feng watched Xiao Se tie the other leg, his eyes brightening.

After tying up his legs, Xiao Se clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It will be a little uncomfortable at first, but once you get used to it, it will be very comfortable. Your calves will not be sore when climbing mountains, and it can also prevent swelling caused by blood accumulation in the blood vessels." pain."

Ye Feng's pupils dilated slightly and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Xiao Se added: "After tying it, it can prevent mosquitoes, flies and other insects from crawling in along the pants, and it can also prevent thorns and branches from puncturing the skin."

Ye Feng's pupils were widened and the corners of his mouth were raised.

"Moreover." Xiao Se looked at Ye Feng happily and said a few more words, "If you are injured, you can take off the leggings and tie them with branches to fix the bones."

"You can also untie it and use it as a rope, whether it's for wrapping things or tying up wild beasts."

Every time Xiao Se said something, Ye Feng's pupils widened a little. When he heard the last word, his eyes were completely widened, like a curious and happy curious baby.

His Arthur is truly the best.

He thought it was just a pair of pants that covered the body, but he didn't expect it to have so many functions.

"Arthur!" Ye Feng's voice was hoarse.

A sudden bang interrupted Ye Feng's next words.
