Grandma Qin said: "Xiaomi is right, our family has a life-long friendship. It's just a few pieces of red cloth. Just accept it."

After hearing this, Aunt Xu and Aunt Qiao stopped refusing, accepted the fabric, and secretly swore that no matter how dangerous the dye business was, the two of them would help Xiaomi make it, and they would never back down!
Aunt Qin greeted them: "Come in quickly, I will measure the size for you, and I will cut out some pieces of cloth for you tonight, and you can sew them tomorrow."

"Come on, let's go into the house and measure the dimensions." Aunt Xu quickly called Qiao Lizi and her daughter into the house.

Xu Erjun's size was measured by Grandpa Qin, and then Grandma Qin wrote it down and drew the lines to cut the cloth.

Grandma Qin and Aunt Qin are both very good at red cloth, and they are especially good at cutting. From four pieces of red cloth, they can cut out a wedding dress, a groom's suit, and some leftovers.

Two new outfits were also cut out of two pieces of orange-red fabric.

The next day, Aunt Xu, Qiao Lizi and her daughter started sewing.

Aunt Qin was not idle either. She used the remaining red cloth to make a red hijab and two lotus flowers. "Embroidering is too time-consuming and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time, but we can sew the lotus flowers into the wedding dress."

Qiao Lizi looked at the two lotus flowers side by side and was pleasantly surprised: "It's so beautiful. Thank you Aunt Shu."

Well, every time Qin Xiaomi hears Qiao Lizi call her sister-in-law, Aunt Shu, she feels like she's been hit in the head with a stick... Well, she's older, so that's not good either.

"Sister-in-law, the cloth flowers you made are so beautiful. After my newly dyed red cloth dries, you can make more. I will be of great use."

Aunt Qin nodded: "Okay, I will make it for you tonight."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Qin Xiaomi was very happy and ran to Grandma Qin to ask for fabric dyeing.

But this time, she not only dyed it red, but also dyed a piece of bright yellow cloth with colored soup made from gardenias.

Qin Liupo followed her behind and worked hard all day, watching her dyeing process, but she didn't understand it and was so anxious that she pulled her hair: "Little girl Xiaomi, how did you dye this cloth? Then What secret ingredient is added to the clear water? Please teach Six Po."

Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Sixth Wife, this is the secret recipe and the key to victory. Do you think I will tell you?"

Qin Liupo choked and swore again: "Don't worry, little girl Xiaomi, Liupo will help you keep the secret recipe and never leak it out. If it leaks out, your sixth grandfather and his son will be killed suddenly!"

Qin Xiaomi was speechless: "Sixth Grandma, please take it easy. If you swear this kind of poison too often, no matter how hard Grandpa Liu and the others are, they won't be able to bear it."

Qin Xiaogu next to him said: "Sixth Wife, the ratio of each color is different. The difference is a thousand miles. Even if Sister Xiaomi tells you the formula, you still can't make the color you want... I I have been studying for the past two days and my mind has been confused, let alone you."

In the past two days, Qin Xiaogu has learned a lot from Qin Xiaomi. His little brain is about to explode. He has never thought that adding a little bit of acid, a little bit of salt, a little bit of alkali, etc. to a color soup After rusting, it can turn into another color.

"That's because you are young and your brain is not strong enough, but Grandma Liu is old and can handle it." Qin Liupo still refused to give up and continued to learn color mixing and dyeing from Qin Xiaomi.

It's a pity that Qin Xiaomi didn't dye the cloth today, but used color soup to make another thing.

After she added lime or white soil to the color soup, the color soup began to layer up and down like arrowroot powder.

The upper layer is water and the lower layer is precipitated toner.

After it settled, she poured the water into another bucket and lifted up the pigment powder underneath, like drying arrowroot powder. After drying it, she got a solid pigment powder.

Qin Liupo's eyes widened, she pointed at the pigment powder and asked: "Millet girl, is this colored arrowroot powder? Is it used to make cakes? Then Liupo will make cakes now, but you have to tell Liupo the secret recipe. !”

"Stop, you can't eat this thing." Qin Xiaomi quickly stopped her and said, "This is pigment powder. After grinding, it can be used to draw and write colored words. We can sell it to the bookstore and we can One more input.”

"In short, we sell two colors for one color. We must maximize the benefits of the dye. Do you understand?"

"Old woman, you don't understand!" Qin Liupo was going crazy, and her hair was torn out again.Qin Xiaogu also lost a lot of hair: "Sister Xiaomi, I have also read the books in my second uncle's room, but why can't I make these dyes and pigments? And the color mixing, how can it turn blue and blue again?" Light red?”

Ah, I'm going crazy.

Qin Xiaomi smiled... This color mixing is related to chemistry. In modern times, chemistry is a nightmare for many people. You want to learn it all after just two days of exposure. It would be strange if your brain is not fried.

"Because your brain has never been beaten." Qin Xiaomi deceived him: "My brain has been injured and opened up, so I have figured out a lot of things and can use alternative methods to make ordinary things into treasures. .”

Xiao Jiang Erlang said: "Brother Xiao Gu, don't waste your time thinking about it. Just do the same as my elder brother and do other things for Sister Xiaomi."

He added: "Ma Xiucai from our hometown county just thought too much, confused his mind, and ended up going crazy."

The little guy looked at Qin Xiaogu and Qin Liupo with a serious face: "So stop thinking about it, or you will go crazy."

Ah, Pooh, Qin Liupo pouted at him: "I don't know how normal it is for children to say nonsense... Forget it, I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap first to recharge my brain."

Qin Xiaogu did not leave, but continued to study color mixing seriously... Sister Xiaomi was willing to teach him, and he would never let Sister Xiaomi down.

Grandma Qin looked worried. When she was sleeping at night, she whispered to Grandpa Qin about Qin Xiaomi: "Are you really enlightened?"

Grandpa Qin: "Of course it is... When the eldest daughter-in-law passed away in childbirth, we asked an old Taoist to calculate it for her. She said that she would have a calamity after she was ten years old. After the calamity, her soul would return and her luck would be restored. Her achievements would be no less than those of men. It is a good fortune to prosper a family."

Grandma Qin was startled: "But isn't that a good fortune that we paid the old man to help approve? Why are you using it to frustrate me?"

At that time, the eldest daughter-in-law had a difficult childbirth, leaving one dead and three dead. Not long after, there were rumors in the village that Xiaomi had a hard life and killed his own mother and younger siblings. The old couple paid the old man to make a show, and deliberately gave him a life that would be difficult first and then prosperous. grid, used to stop rumors.

Grandpa Qin said: "That old Taoist is a well-known expert from all over the country. How do you know that he doesn't have any real skills?"

He added: "Xiaomi is Xiaomi, she is our granddaughter. You can't doubt her just because she has some abilities... There are so many people in the world who suddenly have magical powers, why can't we Xiaomi be one of them? "

After hearing this, Grandma Qin said nothing.

After a while, Grandpa Qin said again: "Let's keep a close eye on her. If she doesn't make too much noise, she won't be in danger. Don't think about it and go to bed quickly."

"That's all we can do now." Grandma Qin sighed, and pushed Grandpa Qin: "Don't hide your abilities, teach Da Lang more. Only after we pass away, Da Lang will be able to protect you. She, I can hold her down, otherwise that girl might cause trouble."

For a little girl, it is best to have a stable husband and raise children.

As for ability and money, if you have enough, you will be successful. If you have more, it will be a disaster.

Grandpa Qin: "Sure, I will teach Dalang. Don't worry about this. Go to sleep."

……

The next day, after Qin Xiaomi finished dyeing the cloth, she followed Aunt Qin to make red cloth flowers.

On the third day, she carried red cloth flowers on her back and followed Grandpa Qin and others out of the stall.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole town became lively. Everyone rushed to tell each other: "Hurry up and buy arrowroot cakes at the Qin family stall. The first ten customers every day will get a free red cloth flower!"
