There are a lot of white hairs hanging on the ground and clothes. It seems that my mother-in-law has been pulling them out all morning...
The bronze mirror is not very clear, and my mother-in-law cannot see the back.
"I really need to pluck it out..." Haitang took a look and realized that if the white ones were plucked out, at least half of the hair would be gone. Wouldn't that mean baldness...
My mother-in-law never paid so much attention to her hair before. What happened today? She suddenly looked so white that she didn’t like it.
"I think this white one is very good. Silver hair is blessed." Haitang really couldn't bear to do it.
"What a blessing. White hair makes me look old, but I can't look old." said my mother-in-law.
"It's just that the white one is better than nothing. If it is really pulled out, it will not only hurt, but also half-bald..." Haitang said, picking up another bronze mirror, one after the other, and looking through it
In the bronze mirror in front, my mother-in-law saw her hair on the back.
Although it's not particularly clear, at first glance it doesn't look like black and white, but a mixture of black and white.
As Haitang expected, her mother-in-law gave up the idea of pulling out her white hair after seeing it. She wiped the mirror hard to see more clearly, but a bronze mirror was a bronze mirror after all, and the gray hair was just gray.
Looking at her hair in the mirror, my mother-in-law became a little upset, so she simply threw the mirror aside and got angry.
Haitang discovered that since the old lady came back inexplicably, she would spend some time every day getting angry for no apparent reason, and no one would pay attention to her.
Could it be related to her "disappearance"?
"Haitang, I know you are the smartest and most capable person in our family." The mother-in-law suddenly turned to Haitang and said.
"You're so grateful..." Upon hearing this, Haitang realized that her mother-in-law had something to ask of her, otherwise she would normally be very stingy in praising her.
"Look, you can dye the cloth into colorful colors, so can you dye my hair too?" My mother-in-law asked with renewed energy.
"You want to dye your hair into colorful colors?" Haitang grinned.
"Look at you, I just praised you for being smart, but you are stupid again. If I dye it colorfully, I won't become an old monster. You are not afraid of making Tiantian cry. I will dye it black," said the mother-in-law.
"Let me think about it, is there any way? Don't worry," Haitang said.
What my mother-in-law wants is hair dye. Hair dye is a fine chemical product, which is different from the dye used to dye cloth. The proportion requirements are very strict, even harsh.
The old lady loves beauty, and Haitang wants to realize her wish and complete her first step towards fine chemistry. But to make a harmless hair dye, Haitang really needs time and trial and error.
Fortunately, it was winter, so there was little dyeing, so the winter plums were enough for them.
Before tinkering with hair dye, Haitang thought about the mirror.
We all use bronze mirrors at home. Although they are polished and bright, they still don't feel bright when illuminated.
There are no modern silver mirrors as good as this. Even freckles and wrinkles can be seen clearly.
There have been two kinds of materials for making mirrors since ancient times. One is polished obsidian, and the other is polished bronze. The imaging quality of these two methods cannot meet the needs of Begonia, or in other words, they are too primitive.
The base of the silver mirror that Haitang wants must be glass.
Glass, there is no glass these days. If you want to make a mirror, you must first make glass.
Isn't there ready-made crystal mineral "natural soda" in the mine?
Although you can't make perfect glass with it, you can still make a slightly cloudy glass.
