To punish a person, you must seize his life. The old rich man has money but no heirs. This is his pain.
Bai Haitang had already thought of a way and quietly went out in the afternoon.
Seeing the pieces of gray cloth stacked up against each other on the shelf, Bai Haitang felt reassured. She and Lamei had always done the dyeing work themselves.
Under Haitang's training, Wintersweet can now accurately grasp the time and intensity of dyeing in the vat, as well as washing in water. If the time and intensity are not grasped well, the dyed cloth will have uneven colors.
Lamei was happy to be able to help Sister Haitang do some technical work.
Bai Haitang used the first dyed cloth to make clothes for everyone.
Bai Haitang's family and Lamei's family each made a set, and there was still a lot of cloth left. Now Lamei's parents and Haitang's mother-in-law were so happy that they could wear it every day, even walking carefully, for fear of getting stained by mud.

As soon as I went to work in the field, I immediately changed it out of fear that the wheat straw would be scratched.
The daughter is red, and she is wearing a ginger-yellow waistband, and now she has the posture of a dye shop shopkeeper.
Seeing the girls wearing colorful dresses, everyone in the village was extremely envious. The nine concubines of the old rich man were in good shape, but they had never worn colored clothes, and they felt very envious.
Wintersweet and white begonia continue to be dyed, passed through water, and dried.
The cloths in four different colors on the shelves are lined with monsters, like landscape walls. Many girls are standing around to look at them. Although they can’t own them, it’s good to envy them or to experience them.
"When I get married, it will be great if I can wear girl's red like this..." a girl said dreamily.
"Then we should weave more cloth so we can afford it." Another girl took her away and started working quickly.
"Sister Haitang, which one of our four colors do you like best?" Wintersweet was chatting while drying. It could be seen from her eyes that she loved these cloths.
"My favorite color is this, look." Bai Haitang pointed to a piece of original-color gray cloth.
"Ah, why is this? I've been watching it for almost a lifetime, and the last thing I want to see is it." Lamei asked puzzledly.
"Because it is omnipotent and can turn into various colors." Haitang said.
"There are a lot of Sophora japonica flowers this season. Let's go to the mountains to pick some." Bai Haitang said and went out.
Sophora japonica? Hasn’t the dye already been prepared? Wintersweet didn’t know what Bai Haitang wanted to do, but he still followed her to the mountains and picked a lot of sophora japonica.
After coming back, I dried them in the sun in a short time, grinded them into powder, added plant ash to dissolve them in water, boiled them and put them in the dye vat.
At this time, Bai Haitang took out three feet of dyed indigo cloth and put it into the dye vat.
"Ah!! Sister Haitang, are you going to destroy this piece of cloth?" Lamei shouted, thinking that Bai Haitang had missed it.
"That's it." Bai Haitang smiled slightly. She knew very well that it was time to add more colors.
Use indigo to add solid-color sophora flower dye for secondary dyeing. The technical term is called over-dying. The final color will surprise the wintersweet.
"Quickly, heat it up." Haitang saw that there was not much firewood for the stove under the dye vat, so she asked Wintersweet to add some more.
After the dye has cooled down slightly, I took out the cloth and saw that the wintersweet's mouth opened into a circle, which could not be restored for a long time...
This is green, spring grass is green! It's so tender that it seems like it can squeeze out water.
