Ancient wasteland

The leaf was just picked, and it was still fresh. Jing Que was studying how to dye the linen, and the hole was full of various plant dyes.

Most of them are juice leaves crushed from flowers, among which wild roses of various colors are mostly flowers similar to some kind of impatiens.

Wild roses have large flowers and bright colors, and of course they are the first choice for specially extracted vegetable dyes.

The reason for choosing Impatiens is because he remembers that when he was very young, nail polish and lipstick were not particularly popular. His sister and her little sisters loved to mash the petals of Impatiens to make the flower juice to dye their nails.

The color is very beautiful, and the dyed nails can keep the color for a long time without falling off. You are a beautiful little fairy every day.

The imagination is pretty good, but it is a pity that these two types of flower juices are more difficult to produce effects when used on linen.

It was his leaf, which he casually threw into the rose juice next to him when he came back.

The leaves are still full of vitality. When absorbing water, they did not filter out the color, and directly dyed themselves into a beautiful rose red.

The effect is much better than what he dyed the linen after tossing for a long time.

The color is beautiful and uniform, and there is no uneven dyeing at all.

Leaves of this color look great when cut into skirts, or sewn onto sackcloth as decoration.

... At that time, even if the dyeing effect of the linen cloth is not as expected, he can get some colored cotton leaves and mix and cut them.

There are decorations in various colors, and the clothes made must be very beautiful and not monotonous.

In this way, Jing Que was thinking about dyeing the sackcloth, while making continuous leaves of various colors.

There are many kinds of wild roses he picked from the cave, with different colors, such as rose red, bright red, pink and bright yellow.

Jing Que crushed them all separately, made a solution, threw the newly picked cotton leaves into it, and let them absorb water freely, and then they could get beautiful cotton leaves of various colors.

When the collection team came back with the wild vegetables they had dug on their backs, the fish went to his cave to look for him. He was completely stunned when he saw the colorful leaves in the cave.

Blinking his eyes vigorously, he cautiously tried to touch those leaves, "This...these are soft leaves, so beautiful.

How can there be such beautiful rolling leaves, they should be all green, and they will turn yellow in the windy season, why are they so beautiful.

Scenery... I want this piece of soft leaves, it will look good as a skirt, and this piece can be used to make shorts for Bei!

She and the worms now follow our gathering team, so they don't have to go hunting, and can wear skirts and shorts made of cotton leaves. "

She stared at the two red leaves dyed by Jing Zhu, and couldn't bear to move her eyes away, and looked at them eagerly, "I want both of them.

Jing, you can exchange them for me. You can exchange them for anything you want. If you want bacon, fur, salt or linen, I am willing to exchange them!

They are really beautiful, just like the flowers blooming in the wild. I made them into skirts, and they will definitely look good on them! "

Seeing her hugging the two long leaves, Jing Que was reluctant to let go. It is estimated that if he said no to change, Yu would have to roll with him and stay in his hole.

Smiling slightly, "You have good eyesight, these two leaves are really red, they are indeed the prettiest of these leaves, you can take them if you want.

I have no shortage of salt and bacon here, I want to order something, how about this, I have no shortage of things, you can do something for me, help me collect oil fume.

…The lampblack is the black cover on the tung oil lamp we use, let me show you. "

He took the oil lamp from the hole, opened the lamp cover, and let the fish see the blackness formed by the smoke, "It's these black things.

This is the fumes from the burning of tung oil, which can be collected to make fume ink. The ink is useful to me, so you collect it and give it to me.

Basically, there are oil lamps in every cave in the tribe, which can be collected slowly. There is no rush for this ink, as long as it can be made before the cold season. "

The fish looked at the black layer and blinked, "It's that simple?"

She has never seen such beautiful long leaves, just like those god-given treasures taken out of the kiln, so beautiful.

Jing is not only willing to exchange the leaves for her, but also only needs her to do the simple job of collecting oil fume.

She looked at Jing Qu seriously, and praised sincerely, "Jing, you are such a good person!"

Jing Que, "...Thank you." I don't want this kind of good card!

He shook his head, put down the dye in his hand, moved his sore waist and arms and sat down to talk to the fish, "Have you ever been to a trade fair, fish?"

Yu hugged the two leaves and shook his head, "I haven't been there, Bei has been, the trade fairs are held in the Great River Tribe, they have salt stones.

All other tribes need to exchange salt with them, and they all go to the Dahe tribe to participate in the trade fair. Bei said that there are many, many people.

There are many good things we haven't seen before. Bei gave me a beautiful stone necklace, but it was a pity that I lost it when I was digging wild vegetables. "

Jing Yu smiled and nodded, "You wait."

He walked to the side and opened the box, and took out the necklace he made from it, "Does this look good?"

The fish's eyes were glued to his hand and couldn't be removed. The thin silver threads exuded an indescribable luster and converged on the small stone in the middle.

The little stone still looked familiar, Yu swallowed slightly, "Jing...is this stone a gift from God?"

Jing Que handed her the porcelain necklace, "Yes, this is for you to wear and play with."

The fish wanted it a little bit, but he didn't dare to pick it up. The priest said it was a gift from the gods, so he had to be in awe.

If she wears it, God will not be angry with her, but it really looks good, and it is very tangled.

Jing Que smiled, "God will not be angry with you, God will bless you when you wear the necklace."

Fish's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Jing Que nodded, "Of course, the necklace carries God's blessing, which will bring good luck to the wearer."

Yucai happily linked the necklace and put it around his neck, "Thank you, Jing, does it look good?"

Jing looked at her carefully, and there was a silver light shining on her beautiful collarbone, which was very sexy and very attractive, "It's so beautiful."

It is worthwhile for Fei Ye to contribute so many long hairs, and he will definitely exchange for a lot of good things at the trade fair. I heard that the Dahe Tribe is very rich.

Cotton leaves are easy to dye and may not be worn for a long time. Although the texture of cotton leaves looks like muslin, they are leaves after all.

Plants will die soon after leaving the tree cells without water, and then rot and break up. They can be preserved for about half a month at most.

That's why he encouraged the tribe to spin linen and weave cloth. The threads they spun were of the right thickness, and the cut clothes could be worn for at least a whole year.

This is after calculating the exercise intensity of the gathering team and the hunting team, and it is speculated that if the priest does not need to go out of the tribe, he can wear it for a longer time.

It seems that we have to continue to think about dyeing the linen... Jing Que threw the brightly colored leaves aside and continued to pick up the linen.

A little later, the whole tribe knew from Yuzui that he had particularly beautiful long leaves here, and women ran to him one after another.

To exchange colored leaves with him, Jing Que was not interested in those red and pink leaves, and let them take them away separately.

Arrange people to help the fish collect oil fumes, while others help him pick various colored plants, flowers, beautiful leaves or fruits.

As long as you think it looks good, you can pick it back. Jing Que was in charge of various experiments, and it lasted for more than ten days, and finally let him try out two kinds.

The blue one is a herbaceous plant with green leaves and purple flowers.

The extract of this green plant is dyed blue, which is easier to color and last longer than other flower colors.

Moreover, it has been dipped and dyed many times, and the colors that come out are different in shades, and the shades are very beautiful.

There is also a kind of black, which is a kind of flat, long and slightly serrated leaves, and a viscous black liquid is extracted, which is sticky and smells bad.

Jing Que almost poured some on it, but the result was very good, the linen cloth was put in and dyed, it was pure ink black, without any variegation!

After being fished out, the effect directly surprised Jingzhu. You must know that linen is difficult to color compared to cotton, silk or woolen textiles.

Moreover, the hemp fiber itself is rough, and the texture of the woven cloth is definitely not as good as that of cotton cloth. In addition, uneven dyeing is common, and it will look rough.

This black liquid with an unpleasant smell not only dyes the linen uniformly black, but also has the effect of softener and softener itself.

The linen was thrown in for dyeing, and when it was fished out, Jing Que even thought that what he dyed was not linen, but silk and satin that had been woven through hard work.

The glossiness and softness are not like the texture of cotton cloth at all, it is slightly better than the texture of cotton cloth of the same thickness, and it is close to satin.

Jing Qu shook his head with a smile, touched the dyed cloth, and talked to Ye next to him, "It seems that there are treasures everywhere around our tribe.

This kind of pure black is very difficult to dye, like my hometown for a long time, because it is difficult to dye this color.

They all use black as a symbol of nobility. It is worn by emperors... Well, it is equivalent to our patriarchs, and ordinary people cannot wear it. "

Ye was a little puzzled, frowning slightly, obviously unable to understand why some people would like this kind of black, like a dark night.

It makes people invisible and intangible, and it is always accompanied by countless dangers and wild beast attacks. Ye said that he doesn't like this color very much.

Jing Que looked at the rejection on his face, and smiled slightly, "You don't like this kind of black?"

Ye Ye nodded solemnly, "I don't like it."

Jing Que himself likes the texture of black linen, but he doesn't force it too much, he smiled and nodded, "If you don't like it, you don't like it, there are other colors.

There is also this kind of blue. There are many kinds of blues, such as dark blue and light blue. Look at the one you like. I will dye two more for you to make clothes. "

Ye liked Jing making things for him very much, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he picked out a kind of linen that was close to sky blue from the linen placed beside him.

Ye Ye looked into his eyes, focused and calm, "I want this color, it's very similar to your eyes, they're both pretty."

Complimenting his eyes, isn't that just complimenting him by the way.

Mouth so sweet?Why did he feel that Ye was taciturn and not talkative before? !The impression of not being talkative is just floating clouds!

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Jing Que was still a little excited, "Okay."

Turn around and go to the heap of linen next to him, pick out the two best bolts of linen, and prepare to dye them sky blue for the wild.

Jing Qu originally thought that it was because Ye liked his eyes that he liked blue more and disliked black.

When he wanted to promote dyeing in the tribe, he found that this was not the case... All men, women and children in the tribe prefer blue.

They naturally have a sense of repulsion to black, even though black linen has its own special dye blessing, it has basically lost the texture of linen.

It has become like the cotton or satin cloth known by Jingzhu, which is comfortable and soft to the touch and has a very good texture, but people in the tribe just don't like it.

They would rather wear white linen than black!

This is a typical generation gap, or cultural difference. Jing Yu didn't force them, shook his head slightly, and began to teach them how to dye blue.

A large number of herbal plants that can extract dyes are collected, and after extraction, they become dyes that can dye cloth, and the cloth is put into dyeing.

Jing Que taught them the process, and he could operate the blue cloth according to the depth they needed. The tribe likes things with colors.

Soon, blue linen replaced white linen and became popular in the tribe. During the dyeing process, some people fiddled with tie-dyeing.

At that time, Jing Que mentioned in his teaching that after folding the cloth, fix the pattern with wooden blocks to prevent the dyeing solution from soaking through, so that the pattern can be dyed.

Ye used the most primitive pad dyeing method to dye him a piece of blue cloth with a checkered pattern.

Seeing the patterns on the blue cloth, Jing Que was stunned, thinking that the speed of development was too fast.

It's a pity that only he likes this kind of pattern, and the tribe prefers to dye it all, so Jing Que treasures that piece of cloth.

With the end of the water season and the dry season slowly approaching, the chances of sunny weather are increasing and the temperature begins to rise.

After the radishes matured, Jing Que collected all the radish seeds, and he harvested them slowly by himself, without letting the tribe know how many seeds there were.

When sowing the seeds, it was not counted to sprinkle all the harvested radish seeds, and a lot was taken out of the space, and a full three mu of land was sprinkled.

The seeds are sown very densely... When they grow up and are transplanted, it is estimated that 15-20 mu of land can be planted.

Calculated according to the normal radish yield of 4-5000 kg per mu, the radish and radish sprouts harvested before the cold season.

As long as it is stored properly, it can ensure that the tribe has enough vegetables to eat in the cold season.

At that time, the staple food will be bacon mixed with sweet potatoes, as well as salted duck eggs, plus cat winter nesting in the cave, so the consumption will be very little.

It should not be a big problem to survive the cold season safely without starving to death.

Jing Que watched the radish seedlings start to emerge in the field, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to discuss with the priest about opening up some more wasteland.

At the beginning, they opened up 20 mu of land. Now they are planting sweet potatoes and various seasonings. When the radish seedlings grow enough to be transplanted, the remaining land will definitely not be enough.

The reclaimed land needs to be dug out early, weed roots and insects must be cleaned up before planting, and preparations must be made in advance.

He walked into the sacrificial cave, Shan Hefeng was talking to the priest in a low voice, and saw him come in.

Shan shouted, "Jing, come quickly, I have something to go to you."

Jing Yu walked over, "What's wrong?"

Shan sat on the stool with his long legs curled up, and said loudly, "There is no salt in the tribe! We are discussing whether to go to the Great River Tribe to exchange salt."

Jing Que frowned, "How could there be no salt, the salt that was exchanged back then was obviously enough..."

He quickly realized that the salt exchanged for the salt team was indeed a lot of salt, which should have been enough for the tribe to survive the wind season.

But they use salt-cured bacon and salted duck eggs. The daily consumption is more than twice the normal amount, so they should be short of salt!
