Chapter 70 Navy Blue Cloth
Zhong Nan agreed, and when the pot boiled, he put the dumplings in, rolled them a few times, and the white dumplings floated up, Ruan Yunsi laughed and said: "A group of little white geese jumped down the river with a plop, Xiu girl, What is this?"

Zhong Xiu smiled and said: "My sister looks down on her too much. Who doesn't know that this is a dumpling? A three-year-old child can guess it, but you use it to test me." Ruan Yunsi's teeth were itchy when she said a word, and her heart Gritting his teeth, he said, "Okay, everyone looks down on my puzzles. Yes, I'm really mentally handicapped. Well, wait, I will make some lanterns with you on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and turn the puzzles from the Dream of the Red Chamber into a puzzle." Take it out and see if you can guess it.

When the steaming dumplings were served on the table, Yunniang and Zhong Nanzhongxiu felt that Ruan Yunsi's exaggeration was exaggerated, but after eating one, they were all overwhelmed, and Yunniang even made up a polite sentence: "It's really wonderful. Delicious, why is it so delicious?" Ruan Yunsi and the others all laughed, and then Ruan Yunsi said, "Unexpectedly, Sister Yun is also a bit out of book bag, but I don't know who I learned this from?"

Zhong Nan smiled and said: "My elder brother also studied for a few years in his early years. This is his catchphrase. Whenever he encounters something surprising and admirable, he has to say "why is XX here?" Sister-in-law and elder brother are together, Naturally learned."

Before finishing speaking, Yunniang said: "Yes, yes, dead ghost, you have never eaten such delicious food when you were alive, but now that you are dead, I can't take care of you anymore, and I don't know you. Can you have a little, do you want me to serve you a bowl? Or do you just come and eat with me?"

Ruan Yunsi was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed Yun Niang, and said in a voiceless voice: "Give me a bowl, give me a bowl, my hair is standing on end right now, on such a rainy night, you don't mean to scare people to death by saying such things. ?”

Yun Niang laughed and said: "What's so scary, you are all my closest people, even if the dead ghost turns into a ghost, can he still hurt you? Don't worry, with me here, he has such a heart, but he doesn't have the courage. "While talking, he still got off the kang, picked out a bowl of dumplings and put them on the Eight Immortals table in the main room, and put a pair of chopsticks on it.

Zhong Xiu then whispered: "Sister, it can be seen that these dumplings are really delicious, otherwise my sister-in-law would not be like this. She often said that the elder brother died and he couldn't eat anything. If he could eat it, he didn't need to make a special offering. , Now that she is willing to do this, it shows how much she likes this dumpling in her heart."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "If you say so, this is your sister-in-law's silent and highest compliment to me, right? Alright, let's eat yours quickly. Look at the shallow-sighted, what is this? In the future, our days will definitely be The more the better, then you may not pay attention to this dumpling."

Zhong Nanhan smiled and said: "Where can there be a better day than this? You can eat several meals of white flour steamed buns in a month, and you can eat rice almost every day. Now there are such steaming and delicious dumplings to eat. The rain is like ice, but we are sitting on the kang, but it is warm, sister, I dare not think that there will be a better day than this."

Ruan Yunsi shook her head and said with a smile: "Brother Nan, you can't do it with just such a little ambition. But it's also good, contented people are always happy, so they won't be greedy and delusional at every turn, which will save a lot of troubles."

Because a few people finished eating that night, Zhong Nan went to sleep at Ruan's house. When he got up early the next day, he saw that the sky had cleared up, which was a rare good weather. Cheerful.Ruan Yunsi said: "Taking advantage of the good weather today, let's dye the cloth as soon as possible. It is best to dye a hundred bolts by tomorrow night. After that, we will go to the mountain to collect mushrooms and chop firewood. It happens that there will be no delay."

Zhong Nan opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said, "It can be dyed in two days? But sister, it is only four days before the time you agreed with the shopkeeper Wu Gongziyan. If it can be dyed so quickly, you Why bother to set a ten-day deadline with them? I'm afraid they have all become ants on the hot pot right now?"

Ruan Yunsi raised her head, curled her lips and said with a sneer: "It deserves it, who made them suspect that I came? Humph, I was kind enough to help them out, but I thought I was talking big, and then even put me aside to discuss Liu Jinbu What will happen to Zhuang if it goes bankrupt? Do you know what this is, Brother Nan?"

Zhong Nan shook his head, he really didn't know.But Ruan Yunsi gritted her teeth and said: "Provocation, this is a serious provocation, male chauvinism. Hmph, you dare to look down on me. Since I look down on me, then I will naturally let them wait a few more days, and let them know what it is It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a woman."

"It's a villain. It should be better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain." Zhong Nan carefully reminded him, but Ruan Yun gave him a serious look, and said word by word: "Are you a villain?"

"Woman, it's right to be a woman." Zhong Nan raised his hand, thinking that I've figured it out today, women are villains.Mr. Su, shopkeeper Yan, you are unlucky, who told you not to take Sister Ruan seriously, you will be punished now, right?Tsk tsk, it's so pitiful, the two of them don't know how anxious they are now, if they know that they don't need to wait for ten days, but five or six days are enough, they don't know if they will be so angry that they vomit blood.When he thought of this, he shuddered, secretly thinking Zhong Nan, Zhong Nan, you must remember that you can't offend Sister Ruan if you offend anyone, otherwise she can make you vomit blood and die with just one little finger.

Here Ruan Yunsi triumphantly walked to the cauldron in the courtyard, and said to herself with a smile: "Women are sometimes villains, and Brother Nan, a nerd, can't even tell the difference. Don't you know that the world is the most careful?" Is the son a creature like a woman? If it were in modern times, he would not even be able to catch up with a girlfriend. Well, let alone, the boy looks good, even if he is a bit dull, I am afraid that some women who know the goods will post it, haha Haha, with his temperament, I'm afraid he will run away in fright, right?"

She was smiling smugly, and Yun Niang also came out of the room, seeing her smile, she couldn't help shivering, secretly wondering: "What did you say?"How could such an elegant woman like Yunsi have such a wretched smile?
This was just a small episode. As soon as the water in the pot was heated up, Ruan Yunsi began to skillfully dye the ground. Zhong Nan saw that she threw several kinds of crops in the pot, and also threw a few pieces of the extracted color. I don't know how she matched it, and he was careful, and found that the amount of indigo grass in the other cauldron was less, but more sumac was used. He didn't understand why, so he sincerely asked Ruan Yunsi for advice, but Listening to her laughing: "Actually, navy blue is divided into light navy blue and dark navy blue. I don't know which one the shopkeeper Yan and the fifth son want, so it's better to dye them all and let them choose by themselves." Bar."

For Zhong Nan, this kind of knowledge is really mysterious and mysterious. He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. When working with Ruan Yunsi, he originally hoped that he would be able to help the other party take the lead in the future, but for some reason, although he can remember it with his photographic memory Write down the names of those dye crops. As for the dyeing cloth, he is still confused until now, and he is not as calm and joyful as he was when he endorsed it.
Feeling guilt and panic in his heart, he suddenly heard Ruan Yunsi ask him to bring the octopus left outside the kitchen last night, Zhong Nan hurriedly obeyed and took out an octopus, but saw Ruan Yunsi put the octopus into the water, and ordered Zhong Nan Zhong Xiu was standing by with a piece of cloth that had been rolled in the mordant, and when the octopus's legs curled up, she gave an order, and the two brothers and sisters quickly put the cloth into the cauldron.

"The reason why navy blue is difficult to dye is not only that the color matching is difficult, but the most troublesome thing is the water temperature. Even I can't guarantee that I can master it 100%. Testing the water temperature is the most accurate."

Ruan Yunsi pinched off the curled part of the octopus foot. She also saw this method of testing the water temperature in the TV series "Daranfang" that day, but she had forgotten whether Chen Liuzi used squid or octopus. There are water thermometers in modern times, and they are not used at all. Such an ancient method, luckily Ruan Yunsi often goes to the workshop by herself, and has tried various temperatures by hand, and she has a rough idea, but for more complicated colors like dyeing, the water temperature must be accurate, and she is already thinking about whether she can come up with a simple one. The water thermometer is off. After all, it is impossible for her to buy things like squid and octopus at any time.

The cloth was soaked in the water for a while, and Zhong Nan and Zhong Xiu's younger siblings picked it up with wooden sticks and turned it over several times to make the cloth evenly dyed. After Ruan Yunsi said "get up", they hurriedly took the whole piece The heavy cloth was fished out.

After draining the water and hanging it on the clothes rail, Ruan Yunsi was busy dyeing a piece of cloth. After several times of cooperation, they had already cooperated tacitly. By noon, they had already dyed [-] pieces of cloth. Because the sun was good, the dozen or so pieces of cloth that had been aired before were completely dry.Yunniang and Zhong Xiu took it away and put it in their hands for a closer look. At first glance, it was just black, but when you looked closer, it was not black, but black with blue in it. When it swayed in the sun, the thick blue The color is more obvious, giving people a thick and calm feeling.

They had never even seen such a color before, so Yunniang said in a trembling voice, "This... is this navy blue? It doesn't look too different from black, why are so many people stumped?" After finishing speaking, Ruan Yunsi laughed and said: "Sister, you really put it lightly. Although it is similar to black, you don't look at how many crops I put in to match it. It is dark blue. Look at this one again, it is black. Light navy blue, how about it, you can clearly see the difference from black, right?"
