Bai Haitang took her sister-in-law's clothes and soaked them in hematite dye. Red is the festive color for weddings.
When she took it out, she found that the color was darker, not the bright red she wanted, and she felt a little disappointed. When the white begonia was washed through the water, she was even more disappointed, because the hematite dye faded badly, and after washing it several times, it basically lost its color.
Finished with pad dyeing.
This was Bai Haitang's first failure. A deep sense of frustration lingered in her heart. Unknowingly, tears of grievance and loneliness flowed out.
How can a person from the future live in an era when he has no friends and doesn't even know the rules of the game? For a time, many thoughts and deep feelings came out and turned into tears, flowing down Bai Haitang's cheeks.
When Bai Haitang thinks clearly, only by working hard to change the status quo and getting to know more people, he may be able to find such a beautiful cicada. That is the only hope of returning home.
She took a deep breath, and a voice in her heart kept telling herself that she could not be defeated and must regroup. Looking down, she saw that the place where the tears fell happened to be on the faded red cloth. The color of the hematite dye appeared when it touched the tears.
It comes out with a reddish color and no smudging.
Salt, yes salt!
Bai Haitang quickly came to the mine. This was a comprehensive mine. If she remembered correctly, she saw a salt mine last time. Not long after, Bai Haitang found a small salt mine area as she wished.
She broke off a piece, crushed them finely, and lightly dipped a little of it with her tongue. It was salty.
Put these salts into the dye one by one until the color of the dye is close to what Bai Haitang wants. Bai Haitang put her sister-in-law's dress in and tried it a little. This time it was dyed red, but this color
It's a bit dark, which is not what I want.
If hematite is mixed with plant dye, unexpected things may happen. Then Bai Haitang picked some safflowers with a lot of red pigment from the surroundings, refined them through simple processing, and blended their juice into the dye.
When I put the dress in for the last time and took it out, the color was as bright as that of a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
It's not bright red, it's brighter than red. It's a soft color that makes people think about it when they see it.
And it doesn't fade.
Bai Haitang named it: Nuer Hong.
If she could go back to modern times, she would bring this color to modern times, because it is a color that has not been discovered in modern times. Daughter's Red.
Dry sister-in-law's clothes.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps. Wintersweet came from a distance.
"Sister Haitang, I haven't seen you in the past few days. I guessed that you were here. Look, what I brought you." Lamei opened the basket. Inside were two oily and fragrant pancakes, and another
Salted duck eggs and a ripe sunflower.
The two of them ate these things together. After eating, Bai Haitang sprinkled some salt to remove the melon seeds from the sunflowers. The two of them put them in the pot and stir-fried them together. They also added some perilla, star anise, pepper and the like.
There are spices available on the ground, and after a while, the fragrant and salty melon seeds are out of the pot.
"So delicious?" Lamei couldn't believe it. Because the traditional method has been to dry the melon seeds and eat them like this. I didn't expect to eat them so deliciously.
"I'll show you something more." Bai Haitang took out her daughter's red.
"Here, is this a skirt?" Lamei took it tremblingly, opened it, and gestured to herself. Standing by the lake, it was so beautiful, so beautiful.
