Jiang Dalang stood up, took a look at Se Tang, and was quite surprised: "This red color is indeed very deep."

In the last life, she was trapped in the palace playing with dyeing, and he secretly went to see her. The madder-colored soup produced in Dasheng Dynasty was indeed not as good as the one here.

The land and products of the Great Wei Dynasty were really good. If they were neighboring countries of the Great Sheng Dynasty, he would have led troops to annex the Great Wei Dynasty.

Then he asked: "Xiaomi, what should I do next? Should I dye it directly? Can the boiled grass roots still be used?"

Qin Xiaomi: "Yes, it can be boiled four times in total. The first two soups are rich, pour them together to make the soup redder, and the last two soups are lighter, pour them together to make the soup orange."

He found another cloth and covered it on the deep wooden basin: "Pour the colored soup in and filter it."

"Okay." After Jiang Dalang poured down the soup, he poured the grass roots back into the earthen pot and continued to cook.

Qin Xiaomi took out the white soil, vinegar, alkali, tourmaline, and two plant powders, and then took out a very small bamboo spoon and began to slowly mix the medium water and color fixing water needed for dyeing the cloth.

By the time the mixture was ready, Jiang Dalang had already boiled the second color soup and filtered it through a cloth into a wooden basin.

"Fifth sister-in-law, has Xiaomi girl started dyeing cloth?!" Qin Liupo's high-pitched questioning voice came.

Not long after, the sound of stomping footsteps came, not from Qin Liu Po, but from Qin Xiaogu: "Sister Xiaomi, Liu Po ​​is here. Hurry up and hide the things that cannot be exposed."

Qin Xiaomi smiled and said, "No need to stop her, just let her in. She can't learn."

"Xiaogu, you are becoming more and more disrespectful. I am a person of your grandmother's generation, how dare you stop me!" Qin Liupo bypassed Qin Xiaogu, rushed to Qin Xiaomi, and said with a smile: "Hey, Xiaomi Girl, are you going to start dyeing cloth? Then hurry up and dye it. The sixth wife didn't go to set up a stall today and came here to help you dye cloth. "

Qin Xiaomi chuckled and said to Jiang Dalang: "Since the Sixth Po is here to help, then give her the boiled grass roots and let her pound them into dregs. Then boil them again, and the third and fourth times of color soup can be Richer.”

"Hey." Jiang Dalang immediately poured the grass roots into the stone trough and called Qin Liupo: "Sixth Po, hurry up and pound the grass roots. If you don't want to pound the grass roots, leave."

As she said this, she was going to pull Qin Liupo, which made Qin Liupo very angry, but there was nothing she could do. She wanted to see how Qin Xiaomi dyed cloth, so she could only dig up grass roots, and said: "Little girl Xiaomi, if you can't dye the cloth into red, You have to pay me today’s wages!”

Qin Xiaomi was more ruthless than her and said with a smile: "Sixth Wife, if you don't work hard today, I will deduct one day's dividend from your family."

"You!" Qin Liupo was so angry that she was half dead, but she was no match for Qin Xiaomi, so she could only bang, bang, bang, treat the grass roots as Qin Xiaomi, and pound them hard.

Qin Xiaomi made a wooden clamp, then went to Grandma Qin to get a white cotton cloth, threw the cotton cloth into a wooden basin, and soaked it in the madder-colored soup.

The first time I soaked it for a full quarter of an hour before putting the cotton cloth soaked with color soup into the first bucket of medium water. After soaking for a while, the color soup and medium water reacted.

When she picked it up again, Qin Liupo's eyes widened, she ran over, pulled the bucket and shouted: "What did you put in this bucket of water? Why did the orange-red cloth turn bright red when you picked it up?!"

Qin Xiaomi smiled: "You'll know after you take a sip. But if you get diarrhea and fall ill, don't come to me."

Qin Liupo was very angry.

Qin Xiaomi ignored her and soaked the mordant-dyed fabric in the grass-root colored soup again. This time, he soaked it for only a while, then picked it up and put it into the medium water... Repeated this for more than ten times, and waited for the last time to take it out. When I arrived, the white cotton had turned a very deep, bright red.

"It's done." Jiang Dalang was very happy for her and smiled: "Xiaomi, you really did it."

In her previous life, she could make dyes at will because she was a queen and could get countless precious raw materials with just a command.But this is the Wei Dynasty, and they are poor people. Su Su can still dye red cloth with some grass roots and white soil, which is really amazing.

Qin Liupo also stood up in shock, but she sneered: "Hey, don't be too happy too early. This red cloth cannot be used, it will fade. If you don't believe it, throw it into clean water and wash it, and the color will definitely be washed away." ...My old lady bet you ten cents!" Qin Xiaomi was disgusted: "Only ten cents? You have the nerve to say it so loudly. If you want to bet, just one or two cents, do you dare?"

With such a bold bet, it seems that Xiaomi girl is very sure of winning.

Qin Liupo was afraid of losing, so she said: "One bet will ruin three generations. I won't bet with you. I've gone to grind the grass roots. You quickly throw the red cloth into the water and wash it. Make sure it doesn't fade!"

While pounding the grass roots, she stretched her neck and stared at Qin Xiaomi, waiting to see her red cloth fade, but the new red cloth had not faded after being in the clear water for a long time.

Two-quarters of an hour later, Qin Liupo couldn't wait any longer and ran to wash the red cloth, but the red cloth didn't fade at all. She was so shocked that she froze on the spot. After a while, she ran away laughing.

Qin Xiaogu was frightened: "Sister Xiaomi, isn't the sixth wife crazy?"

"Don't worry, she can't go crazy." Qin Xiaomi went to pick up the red cloth from the solid water and hung it on the clothesline to dry.

Qin Xiaogu ran over, looked at the red cloth and asked, "Sister Xiaomi, can this red cloth be used after it dries? Is it true that it won't fade?"

He added: "It's okay if the color fades. Just make it through to the wedding day."

Boom, Qin Xiaomi hit him on the head and taught him a lesson: "The discoloration of the wedding dress is a bad omen and has a bad meaning. And the wedding dress is not just a day thing for the bride to wear, it is the happiness of the bride's whole life. understand?"

Qin Xiaogu shook his head: "I don't quite understand."

Jiang Dalang understands, but unfortunately in the last life, he valued the throne too much, which made her suffer a lot.

But now, he is no longer the emperor, he no longer has to weigh the pros and cons, he only needs to treat her wholeheartedly.

In order to cover up his emotions, he hurriedly went to get the grass roots pounded by Qin Liupo, and continued to add water to make the color soup. After his emotions calmed down, he praised Qin Xiaomi: "This red cloth will never fade, because everything made from millet is beautiful." it's the best."

Qin Xiaogu laughed at him: "Brother Dalang does everything for Sister Xiaomi."

"Xiaomi, the red cloth is dyed?!" Grandma Qin rushed over, looked at the red cloth drying in the backyard, and hurriedly rubbed her hands. When she saw that there was no color on her hands, her hands were shaking with shock, and she hurriedly shouted Jiang Dalang: "Go to town quickly and call your Grandpa Qin back!"

Qin Xiaomi hurriedly said: "Grandma, calling grandpa back at this time will arouse suspicion. Let's wait until grandpa returns from the stall and tell him again."

"Okay." Grandma Qin nodded, her body was shaking, obviously very scared, and she begged again: "Xiaomi, it's hard to keep this thing, burn it."

Qin Xiaomi knew what Grandma Qin was afraid of, but what she would not give up was to comfort Grandma Qin: "Grandma, don't be afraid. Let's wait until grandpa comes back to discuss whether to keep this red cloth, okay?"

Qin Liupo ran over: "Fifth sister-in-law, you are too timid... Come on, let me help the Xu family clean up their dilapidated house, otherwise Erjun and Lizi will not even have a decent new house when they get married."

She pulled Grandma Qin away, then turned back to Qin Xiaomi and said, "My family needs at least [-]%!"

Qin Xiaomi: "Half, do you want love?"

Qin Liupo was furious, but she could only agree: "You're cruel, it's a deal, no regrets!"
