[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

He named this golden swallowing beast, which was snoring happily, Mu Wen. The cub completely violated his original intention of naming it, and it was a very energetic cub.

The child rolls in the field during the day, and draws maps on the bed at night. He wears three sets of clothes a day, and puts on a bedding cover from time to time.

Although the place where they live is sunny and the clothes can be dried the next day after washing, the raw materials used here are completely natural products, either mulberry silk or cotton and linen. It is not durable, especially not resistant to scrubbing.

Therefore, even though the main industry in Xiumang Village is the silk industry, and the cloth is relatively cheap, Mubai is almost too close to afford clothes.

But it seems that this matter is only a problem for their family, because other people's children are really not as difficult to deal with as Mu Wen.

The temperature here is cold and cool, and they rarely sweat except when working in the fields. The clothes worn by the villagers are mostly indigo dye, which is easy to fade, so the clothes of the local people are basically seldom washed.

Mu Bai doesn't care, but Mu Xiaowen is a very picky child. He doesn't wear clothes that smell bad, and he doesn't let him hug him if he smells bad. Therefore, the money that Mu Bai's family spends on the children's clothes Far beyond ordinary people.

Moreover, Mu Xiaowen has a bad habit, that is, he doesn't like to wear diapers.

So now Mu Bai can only look at the child on the bed who finished drawing the map but is still sleeping soundly and sighs.

This time, he decided not to compromise.

So, when Mu Xiaowen opened his eyes, he heard his brother's extremely calm words: "Mu Wen, you must wear a diaper to sleep tonight."

The younger brother, whose face was full of shock and turned gray from the shock, was carried to a dry place on the bed, and after trapping him with a quilt, Mu Bai got up to wash himself, and started a new day of life.

A honeysuckle entwined on the big tree at the entrance of the village is in full bloom. As the sky gets brighter, the aroma of the honeysuckle becomes more intense, and even they inside the village can smell the fragrance of flowers.

Summer is coming, and the dawn is early.At this time, the sky is bright, and even the rooster has not crowed yet.

Mu Bai, who got up earlier than the chicken, carried a bucket to fetch water from a nearby stream, and solved the personal hygiene problem by the way. Afterwards, he carried the cold water and walked towards the small thatched hut.

While walking, he lifted the bucket up and down, taking the time to exercise his strength.

The original body was well-fed, and when his flesh and blood were healed, his body would pant even after walking a few steps.Fortunately, the child is young and has strong plasticity. After he persisted in exercising for half a year, he is now a strong man who can lift two buckets of water.

...Hmmm, but in order to grow up to follow my height for the rest of my life, I still have to do exercises step by step.

Now, the task Mu Xiaobai gave himself was to walk around his house with a bucket of water every day. While exercising, he could also see if the small traps he set up had any gains.

They are located in an abandoned house in the northwest corner of the village. It is said that a few years ago, it was the residence of a hunter. Later, the hunter was conscripted by the imperial court and never came back. He is a foreigner, and there is no clan here to inherit his Inheritance, the house was left unoccupied.

The thatched cottage has been in disrepair for a long time, leaking wind and rain. There are two rooms, the main house and the warehouse, and the kitchen and toilet are open-air.After their "brothers and sisters" moved in, the kind-hearted villagers helped to repair it, and after that, it was repaired by Mubai many times before it looked like it is now.

It is close to a water source, and a half-grown child of Mubai can carry water by himself, and there are many fields behind the house. Logically speaking, this house can never be so dilapidated that the village head Bai can give it to their brothers.

In fact, the house has one huge downside - it's close to woodland.

The village where they live is backed by a small forest that extends from the Wumeng Mountains. Although there are no ferocious animals in the forest, animals such as weasels and foxes are inevitable.

The Orion himself relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the small animals on the mountains avoid him. However, when the people here change, the livestock in the forest watch the people order food, and frequently go down the mountain to harass, which directly leads to the people living here being unable to raise livestock, regardless of the villagers. Everything raised here has to be taken away.

That being the case, how about farming?

It is not that the villagers have never planted, but every time the harvest is about to be harvested, birds or hares will fly out of the forest and ruin the crops in the field.The people of the tribe always feel that there is some kind of power preventing them from cultivating here. In addition, this place is slightly away from the main body of the village, and the maintenance cost is relatively high, which made Mubai cheaper.

But Mu Bai... Mu Bai didn't take advantage of this - because he doesn't know how to farm.

This may be one of the biggest weaknesses in his life. The wooden white boy has always been a black finger, the kind who grows and dies.Although he didn't understand the reason for this, he was absolutely not allowed to approach the plant cultivation place in the previous mission.

After trying this physique and bringing it to this era, Mu Bai lent these open spaces to the villagers to dry the dyed cloth.

Although the villagers wanted to take care of their two children and gave some rice and grain after renting the land, it was still far from enough to feed the family's gold-eating beasts. Therefore, Mu Bai now had to develop a sideline business outside the traditional mulberry agriculture here.

One is to set a trap.

It may be that the hunters have been away for a long time, and the vigilance of local animals against traps has dropped a lot. The net bag before can bring a little meat to their home every two or three days.

However, after a long time, these small animals have also seen through his routines, and the number of being fooled has gradually decreased. It seems that it is time to upgrade the trap.

When Mu Bai was exercising and thinking, he turned his eyes and saw the village chief in a striking blue right lapel gown leading a young man on a horse walking towards him from a distance.

Unlike the patriarch who was dressed in bright national costumes, the young man was wearing an ocher robe with dark tones, making him look quite plain.

Mu Bai took a closer look, the clothes were still made of linen.

Today, the owner of the regime that governs the village where Mubai lives is a nomadic regime with a relatively rough management style. The people in power do not have too many shackles on the daily life of the people except that they like to collect taxes. Basically, except for the color and pattern of the clothes that are restricted by the royal family. wear.

In addition, the locals basically have excellent cloth dyeing skills. After a long time of contact with these local people who like to wear colorful clothes, Mu Bai has not seen such a simple and low-key dress for a long time.

"Big baby!" Seeing him looking up, the village chief shouted from a distance, "A gentleman is here to ask you to paint!"

Mu Bai casually put the handkerchief on the hanger, touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and then showed a kind smile.

Yes, another sideline of his is painting portraits.

But in fact, Mu Bai doesn't have the slightest artistic talent, he actually doesn't know how to draw.

So, how can a person who can't draw paint a portrait for someone?This is of course a commercial secret that is not humane.

The visitor is a handsome and cheerful young man...well, it can even be said that the cheerfulness is a little too much!

Even with the obstruction of the attendants, the young man directly revealed his family's pockets when Mu Bai was arranging the painting tools.

Obviously without asking a word, Mu Bai knew that this person's name was Fu Tian, ​​he just turned eighteen this year, he was the youngest son of his family, his ancestral home was Anhui, and he came to Yunnan province to do business.

It is said that this young man who ran to the southwestern land with strong customs at a young age originally planned to cross the Mangbu Road to Uzaru to purchase livestock. The head is very eye-catching).

Because halfway through the walk, I heard that there was a person who was extremely good at painting. This young man's heart moved, and he wanted to leave a souvenir for his first business trip, so he came to the door.

However, because the village where Mu Bai lived was relatively remote, he walked all the way to ask questions, and happened to meet the village chief who was strolling at the entrance of the village, so he was brought here directly.

Mu Bai's expression gradually turned blank from the enthusiasm for hospitality, and finally turned to [What are you talking about?I can't understand Chinese] at a loss.After the young man had finished babbling about his experience, when he wanted to ask him about his past experience with great enthusiasm, Mu Bai chose to bring him directly into the unprepared studio with an awkward but polite smile.

This behavior was very effective. Fu Tian, ​​who had been talking non-stop, entered the studio and finally became quiet.

It seems that even though this young man looks very defenseless, no one can control the instinct of looking at him when he enters a strange environment, let alone this room is extremely weird.

"Although I've heard of it, this studio still has something..." Fu Tian covered his mouth, looking for an adjective with an indescribable expression, "It's unique."

...It's really difficult for you to find a neutral word!

But for the decoration here, Mubai is very self-aware.

It is said to be a studio, but it was originally a warehouse.Because the original owner needed to nitrate and dry animal skins, this warehouse has a large area and a high floor height. Therefore, the so-called studio at this moment is actually formed by adding animal skin boards to the original big house.

The animal skins and wooden boards were opaque, so even though it was broad daylight, the room was extremely dark and even a bit cold, and the layout of the room made this feeling even more eerie.

There are only two things in the whole room, one is a wicker chair, and the other is a strangely shaped lamp stand behind the chair.

The rattan chair is an ordinary chair.The light stand is made of wood, not painted or sanded, giving it a very rough look.The column-shaped main body has many stumbling blocks, and the position of the lampstand is still high and low, like a tree branch, and it seems to have been deliberately shaped.

But I don't know whether it was done on purpose or the craftsman's skills are not good enough. After seeing it, Fu Tian only had four words in his mind-to show his teeth and claws, it really has no aesthetic feeling.

In Fu Tian's impression, although the painters he came into contact with had various strange hobbies, they all had one thing in common, that is, they would choose bright and spacious places for their paintings.

First, the scenery is pleasant, and second, it protects the eyes.

If it is something that is particular about it, incense will be burned and music played before writing.

Although this village is remote, there are a lot of idyllic scenery along the way, and it is a great time of spring when the flowers are blooming. I don’t take advantage of the beautiful spring to paint outdoors but come to this cramped room, and I don’t take advantage of the bright sunshine to focus on this cheap oil lamp. It's really hard to understand what kind of eccentricity this is.

But Fu Tian still had a polite smile on his face, and looked at Mu Bai adjusting the position of the lampstand expectantly. From his expression, there was no slight dissent at all, and there were even two words written from top to bottom——be cute .

The author has something to say:

Yes, Mu Xiaobai is a black finger. =w=

Life is hard, Mu Xiaobai can only create a new life route, and it is not easy, do you want to guess what he is going to do?

... Forget it, you should stop guessing and save some face for the author.

The author once saw the complaints of Hanfu mothers: I finally saved money and bought an expensive Hanfu. The material is good-looking, the embroidery is good-looking, the dyeing is good-looking, but it is not washable, and some delicate ones may be taken off if they are protected with a laundry bag. line, modern people still have dry cleaning, what if the ancient people would do it!

Heh heh, this question is similar to why buying high-end luxury goods is not durable. The durable ones are fakes, because people's clothes generally don't take cleaning into account.

Ancient fabric dyeing was almost always plant dyeing, and plant dyeing is very easy to fade. In fact, not to mention plant dyes, even chemical fuels are easy to fade in the early days. If you are a little older readers, you must have your mother wash new clothes Sprinkle salt in the water, and must not use hot water experience.

Therefore, in order to protect the integrity and beauty of the clothes, there should be no fading or spotting after washing. Generally speaking, the more formal dresses of the ancients were not very good at washing. Use fumigation to "clean" clothes.
