The mother-in-law quickly closed her pockets and asked no more questions. She only left one sentence, "You can do whatever you like."
"As long as you take good care of Tiantian, your food will be indispensable in the future." Bai Haitang said to her back. Obviously, her mother-in-law heard this and took it to heart.
Bai Haitang shook her head and smiled, she is really a fun and interesting mother-in-law.
Continue to take care of your own small garden. Plants that like shade are placed behind the house, where sunlight does not penetrate very well. Plants that like sun are placed in front, with nothing blocking them, and there is plenty of sunlight.
Plants that are easy to dye have been dug up.
At the same time, Bai Begonia also picked sophora japonica, gardenia, lithospermum, and perilla. These four are relatively common.
Come to the mine with some things. Today you need to get yellow and purple.
Sophora jasmine and gardenia were combined with chemical dyes in the mines to quickly turn it into turmeric. Ming huang and rhubarb were reserved for the royal family. Supporters of Bai Haitang knew this, but ordinary people could only use turmeric. In this era, everything is different.
If you offend the royal family, there is really no room for explanation.
Privilege has different characteristics in different eras.
As for purple, Bai Haitang used the same method to add chemical dyes, and after several adjustments, it was adjusted to purple.
The dye was mixed, but Haitang only had a new dress made for her by her mother-in-law, and no other fabrics for her to try. What should she do?
Half and half. Thinking of this, Bai Haitang burned the top of her clothes purple, and dyed the skirt into turmeric. She divided it into two, which was fully utilized, and the colors looked pretty good together.
Wait for the color to dry, then take it to the stream and wash it. The color will fade slightly. When you wash it for the second time, the color will not fade at all.
After drying in the sun and putting on her new clothes, Bai Haitang happily walked around the waterside, watching her beautiful reflection reflected in the middle of the water. In this era and this place, she finally achieved some success.
She thought happily.
Now, Bai Haitang can dye pure daughter red, indigo, purple, and turmeric in four colors.
Although I only have four copper coins in my hand, they will be accumulated again soon.
The sky had already darkened, and Bai Haitang was about to change into her usual clothes when she suddenly felt a torch flashing not far outside the mine.
Is someone coming here?
Bai Haitang quickly extinguished the lighting fire in the cave, hid in the dark, and looked into the distance, where three or two clusters of torches were slowly moving here.
When they got a little closer, Bai Haitang recognized that it was no one else but three long-term workers from the old rich man's family. No one usually came to this mine, so it seemed that he was being targeted by the old rich man.
Already.
If the mine is exposed, my career here will be completely over, and I must prevent this from happening.
The sky was getting darker and darker. The three long-term workers walked very slowly and stopped at a place not far away, hesitating. At this time, Bai Haitang suddenly thought of the will-o'-the-wisp.
It was the will-o'-the-wisp that made these three people hesitate. The phosphorus in the cave was already emitting a faint blue light. From a distance, it looked like the human soul was burning. With the dark moon and high wind, the sound of the wind was particularly loud.
Horror infiltrates people.
Bai Haitang rolled his eyes and had an idea. He just needed to add fuel to the fire.
Bai Haitang hummed an alto in the cave. The tone was just like a female ghost, eerie and scary. Combined with the echo in the cave and the swaying phosphorus fire, it even felt like it was flying out to eat people...
