After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 78 Wedding Banquet【2】

"Your Majesty, the County Lord, is here in person. This is a great kindness. The grassroots family will remember it in their hearts and have nothing to repay. I can only bow to express my gratitude to the Lord County Lord!" Grandpa Qin still took the heads of the families to kneel down and thank County Magistrate Kang. He bowed.

Magistrate Kang was very satisfied and praised: "You guys are all grateful. No wonder you are blessed with such profound blessings... Get up quickly."

Grandpa Qin and the others just stood up, bowed their heads and stood aside. For a moment, they had nothing to say, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Mr. Han hurriedly said: "Mr. Qin, the county magistrate heard that your family has found a way to make money for the villagers. If it is convenient, can you make color soup and dye cloth on the spot for the county magistrate to see?"

Guan Annong was afraid that Grandpa Qin would be worried and frightened, so he gave a guarantee: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, only the county magistrate is watching. The rest of us will not take a peek, let alone ask your family for the secret recipe."

Grandpa Qin said hurriedly: "Secretary Guan has helped my family out of trouble many times. He is considered a benefactor of my family. You and the county magistrate can see it."

Xiaomi told Dalang that this official was not an ordinary person, and his character was rare and noble. He had to be brought into the game so that the lives of their family would be more secure.

County Magistrate Kang also wanted to bring Guan Anong into the game, and he immediately agreed: "Guan Shuli, go with me to see the new dye."

Since he opened his mouth to help the Qin family, Secretary Guan would not back down and nodded: "Yes."

"Sir, distinguished guests, please." Grandpa Qin greeted the big guys and took them to the west of the village.

County Magistrate Kang and the others were very strict about rules. Before entering the west of the village, they said, "Mr. Qin, please go back and inform your family first. We will come to visit you when the house is ready."

Grandpa Qin: "Please don't worry, County Magistrate. The house has been tidied up, and the people who should be avoided have also been avoided. They will not conflict with you."

Not only Grandpa Qin and the others were afraid that the girls from several families would be targeted by evil people, but Magistrate Kang and the others were also afraid that they would be entangled by the village girls.

So, everyone should follow some rules. People who shouldn't meet should be locked in the room and don't let them come out!

"Everyone, please sit in the front yard. The common people will take you and Secretary Guan to the back yard. The back yard has a large open space and is the best place to make color soup and dye cloth." Grandpa Qin asked Qin Cunquan to entertain Master Han and the others, while he and Jiang Dalang took the lead. Kang County Magistrate and Guan Annong went to the backyard.

In the backyard surrounded by collapsed mud walls and wooden fences, there were several earthen stoves in which colored soup was being cooked. Qin Liupo, Grandma Qin, Xiao Gu, and Jiang Erlang were helping Qin Xiaomi dye cloth.

When she saw Magistrate Kang coming, Qin Liupo's eyes darkened, she was so excited that she almost fainted and knocked over a bucket of medium water next to her.

boom!
  Medium water spilled all over the floor.

With a plop, Qin Liupo was so frightened that she knelt down: "Sir, please calm down. The woman didn't mean it. Don't arrest the woman and put her in jail... The woman can compensate you!"

The miser actually took the initiative to pay the money, he was really scared to death.

Qin Xiaomi said: "Sixth Wife, what you spilled was my medium water. If you want to pay compensation, you should pay it to me."

Qin Liupo was so anxious that she yelled at her: "Girl Xiaomi, shut up! You speak so inappropriately in front of adults, I'm afraid you'll be put in jail!"

After saying this, Magistrate Kang's expression was hard to describe.

After calming down for a moment, Magistrate Kang smiled and said, "Auntie, our county government never arrests people casually and puts them in jail."

Shut up now. If you keep talking, our county government's reputation will be ruined by you. Guan Annong looked at Qin Xiaomi and said, "Granddaughter of the Qin family, the county magistrate is here to see how you make new dyes. Can you show me the process? Just like when you made arrowroot powder."

"Of course you can." Qin Xiaomi picked up the madder root and said to Magistrate Kang: "Sir, this is the madder root used to make red soup, also called Lala Yanggen."

County Magistrate Kang said: "I have heard of this kind of madder root. Although it can make red soup, when it is dyed on the cloth, it turns out to be orange-red. How did you make the cloth become Bright red?”

Qin Xiaomi pointed to the bucket knocked over by Qin Liupo and said: "It's made with medium water... When the cloth is dipped in medium water, the color of the cloth can change from orange-red to bright red as long as it is passed through the medium water several times."

"It's a little hard to understand just by listening to it. Let the ordinary people do it for you. After you read it, you will understand."

Qin Xiaomi immediately started dyeing the cloth and mixed a bucket of medium water in front of Magistrate Kang.

County Magistrate Kang was shocked. The granddaughter of the Qin family actually made the secret recipe in person. This is so sincere!
  Cough, County Magistrate Kang coughed and said pretentiously: "Granddaughter of the Qin family, this medium water is your secret recipe for changing the color of the cloth. Do you want us to avoid it?"

Qin Xiaomi: "Sir, there is no need to avoid it...the raw materials for making medium water are actually very simple, there are only a few of them, but if you don't know the exact weight ratio, you won't be able to make medium water."

Qin Liupo nodded fiercely and said to Magistrate Kang: "Girl Xiaomi, you're not lying. It's really hard to match this kind of water. I've been watching it for half a month, but I still don't understand!"

Guan Annong said: "But it's like taking medicine. Even if you know what medicine to take to cure the disease, if you don't know the dosage of each medicine and just pile all the medicines together and boil them, the patient will not be cured after taking them."

Qin Liupo suddenly realized it, pointed at Guan Anong and said: "Ah, yes, that's what it means!"

He added: "The same goes for the color-fixing water. It looks similar to clear water, but as long as you put the colored cloth in it and soak it for a quarter of an hour or two, the color of the cloth will not fade."

It turned out that Magistrate Kang listened and went to see Qin Xiaomi dyeing cloth.

Qin Xiaomi was not afraid of him stealing lessons and would explain every step clearly to him. Jiang Dalang was still beside him and repeated it again.

"The soaking time is enough. If you wash the cloth again at this time, the color will not fade." Qin Xiaomi took the red cloth out of the color-fixing water, put it into a basin of well water, scrubbed it several times, and waited for County Magistrate Kang to nod. Finally, he picked up the red cloth and hung it on the rope to dry: "After it is dried, the red cloth can be used."

After Kang County Magistrate watched the whole process, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Everything in this world is really magical, just like medicinal materials, as long as you combine them, you can cure the disease... The same goes for the madder root, as long as you add some things, it will cure the disease." Can be dyed into precious red cloth."

What is ridiculous and sad is that for so many years, people have only regarded madder as a weed, and the wealthy families have occupied almost all the mines in the world in order to control the mining and dyeing business.

Now that this new dye comes out, the mines they control will be ruined... The new emperor will definitely be very happy. And he decided to side with the new emperor.

After all, this is also one of the family mottos of the aristocratic family... In times of trouble, the children each look for a hero. There will always be a hero who can win. In this way, the family can continue to prosper.

In the past, the direct branch of the Kang family assigned masters to the side branches, but now he has to choose himself... He can no longer let the direct branch take away the credit for the new dye just like they rob the new grain of arrowroot powder!
  Guan Annong asked Qin Xiaomi: "Granddaughter of the Qin family, how come you know how to make this new dye at such a young age, but like the new grain of arrowroot, you figured it out on the road to escape from the wilderness?"

Guan Annong's words were a reminder to her.

Qin Xiaomi shook his head: "No. It was my father and my second uncle who taught me how to make medicine from the books in their room... My father is a doctor, and I have learned medicine from him since I was a child. I know that when plants are matched, they can produce miraculous medicinal effects. My second uncle is a scholar, and there are many books in the house. He also loves to paint. There are books about making paints in the house. He also left a pile of old paints. I often steal paints to play with, and with my grandfather’s teachings, Over time, new dyes were developed.”
