Entrepreneurship in a different world

Wen Rong helped the two brothers to send 'Iron Thorny Grass' back to their home, intending to finish what he was going to do at their home.

The three of them worked together to pick off the 'Iron Thorn Flower'.

On the way, I heard that Wen Rong said that these flowers would be used to make lip paper for Xia Lan. Ahe and Amiao expressed their support for this. When they heard that Wen Rong needed window paper, the two brothers took the paper that was in the window of their house. A layer of white paper covering it was peeled off.

"In winter, the town will distribute this kind of window paper to people who lack glass. This is a free distribution, and there will be more this winter. We will find some hay to cover it later to protect it from wind and rain, so don't worry. "Facing Wen Rong's hesitation, Ahe explained thoughtfully, "Aunt Xia Lan has taken good care of our brothers. Since our mother passed away, she has helped us for so many years. We have nothing to repay her. Wen Rong If the elder brother can make good-looking lip paper, it can be counted as a little effort from us."

Even Ah He felt that Xia Lan directly dyed her lips with 'Iron Thorn Flower', and the color was not good-looking.

This time, Wen Rong was not polite anymore, what he thought was to repay the two children later.

The sandwich house he lives in has nothing, and he can only borrow things from the two brothers.

Under Wen Rong's guidance, the two brothers helped out, one lighting the fire and the other grinding the 'clay' they brought back.

"What's the use of this 'clay'? I just ate it before, and a layer of scab formed in my throat, so I couldn't eat or drink, and finally passed out. Brother Wen, wouldn't you want to eat it too?" Ah He Some worried, "This thing can't be taken as medicine at all, and those outside who say it can be taken are all lies."

"The medicine is definitely not real." As for eating it as food, he dare not say whether it is true or not.

Wen Rong once heard from old people in the countryside that during famine years, ordinary people were so hungry that they could not bear to eat similar soil to satisfy their hunger. Their stomachs would swell and they would feel full.

He believed that the first person who spread the news that the soil could be eaten was hoping that it could be eaten.

In fact, it is a mineral soil.

"This 'clay' is white with a little red. If I read correctly, it is a kind of mineral soil. Looking at its color, I think it can be used as a dye." Ahe vomited from his throat before When it comes to this kind of thing, Wen Rong has carefully distinguished it.

"Dye?" Ah He has never been in contact with this kind of thing, and he has never heard it mentioned by people around him. Just hearing the name, he can probably think of a kind of dyed thing, but he has never seen it before.

"Well, in ancient times, people extracted colors from gemstones and minerals as dyes. Later, some plant dyes were also used. The only things we have on hand that can produce dyeing effects are this mineral soil and iron thorn flower, but we need to adjust their colors .”

When he decided to make lip paper as a gift, he thought that he needed some natural dyes to blend the single purple, and he accidentally thought of the thing that Ah He spit out of his mouth.

The flower color of 'Tie thorn flower' itself is purple. This color is used to make lip paper. No matter how you do it, it will be that kind of poisonous color, which will not look good.With no other flowering plants nearby, this was the only flower they could find so far.

A single color mixed with other colors can generally produce new colors.

Wen Rong didn't pause while explaining that he was using a clean stone to finely grind the 'Iron Thorn Flower', carefully crushing the petals, squeezing out the flower juice, and putting it in the big porcelain bowl.

Because of the lack of things to filter, they used extremely wasteful materials, and used up all the 'Iron thorn flowers' to get more than half a bowl of flower juice.

With the light of the fire burning in the fire pit, it is not pleasant to be able to see the color of the purple and blackened flower juice, Ah He was a little worried, "It doesn't look good."

It was Wen Rong's first time making this kind of thing, but he didn't really have much in mind, but he was more optimistic. If he didn't succeed, he would try a few more times tomorrow during the day. Anyway, he wouldn't send it out until the thing was finished, so it wasn't ashamed.

With such an attitude, Wen Rong became more casual, and acted more boldly.

Pour the 'clay' that has been ground into pieces without the slightest graininess into a porcelain pot used for cooking, add half a pot of water to boil on high heat, then change to low heat and cook slowly, the original light-colored water becomes It is getting thicker and thicker, and finally boiled to the extent that only one pelvic bottom is left, and the dye is successfully prepared.

The color of this bowl of boiled dye has become darker. Although the specific color cannot be seen in the light at the moment, Wen Rong imagines that it may be light pink or pink. In short, it is deepened on the basis of the original color of mineral soil, and there is no escape. Open these two colors.

Anyway, it was an experiment, so he added it little by little to the bowl of purple flower juice. The two colors were fully mixed and dissolved with each other. Under the firelight, it was obvious that the color of the flower juice had changed.

"It seems...the color has really changed!" Ah He said in surprise.
