Chapter 559: The dye of the sun. (3 more, please customize)

After Su Bai and others left the wooden shed, they returned to Yongan Building. They also brought back a lot of tomatoes.

"Witch, what else can you do with these tomatoes besides eating them?"Yu Ying asked curiously. She didn't know why she suddenly had to bring so many tomatoes.

There were a lot of tomatoes stored in Yong'an Building before. If you want to eat, those tomatoes are enough. Why do you need to bring them again? Why pick so many?

"Let your clothes be dyed."Su Bai said with a smile, this was something he suddenly thought of. He had seen relevant videos and books on the Earth before, and people in ancient times had dyed their clothes with tomatoes.

"Want to dye your clothes?"Yu Ying wondered if her ears had heard it wrong.

Many people in the tribe had this idea before. They crushed some plants and pasted them on the animal skins. For this reason, they wanted to make the animal skins have different colors..

But often this is a one-time thing. After a while, all these colors will disappear. In more serious cases, it will cause skin ulcers or red spots. Although tribal people have the idea of ​​​​loving beauty from the beginning, they There's no way to implement it.

It's not like they haven't thought of using the kind of pigments used before tribal ceremonies, but most of them are made of animal blood.

The color disappears after a while, and the smell is very It stinks.

So this plan was never really implemented, and it was aborted at the beginning.

"Yes, don’t you want a little more color in your burlap?"Su Bai asked with a smile.

"Of course I want to, but it shouldn’t be possible, right?"Yu Ying was a little doubtful. Seeing the other party's decision, she continued to wonder:"Wu, are you going to use these tomatoes?"

The fox-eared lady felt that this was not a joke, otherwise she would not have brought so many tomatoes back for no reason.

And after bringing these tomatoes, the first thing she said was to dye the clothes. It is difficult not to think of the two. Think of it

"Well, just use these tomatoes for dyeing."Su Bai nodded.

On the other side of the earth, persimmons were dyed in ancient times, but they all used persimmons. However, in primitive times, no wild fruits related to persimmons were found, but Su Bai found that tomatoes can be used as well..

Although tomatoes and persimmons are two different things, he found that the tomatoes in the primitive era were very similar to the persimmons on the other side of the earth, not in terms of taste, but in terms of dyeing characteristics.

This was also what he discovered one day by chance. I found that after accidentally sticking tomato juice to my body, I found that the area could not be washed off after a few days, but the color was surprisingly beautiful.

So I thought about whether I could recreate the technology of the earth in the primitive era, that is, Kakisome

"With tomatoes?"Yu Ying's pink eyes widened with disbelief on her face.

"Well, take all these tomatoes, wash them, crush them all and squeeze out the juice."Su Bai arranged.

I don't know whether it will be successful or not, but you will definitely know after trying it. What's more, all the tomatoes that were fried this time are blue-red, and the dyed ones may be very ugly. success

"yes."Although Yuying was still in shock, she still followed the instructions and washed all the tomatoes.

After the fox-eared lady washed all the tomatoes, she put them in a wooden basin, and finally followed the instructions Juice all the tomatoes

"Wu, what should we do next?"Yu Ying is very curious about what the next steps will be like.

"Pack them all up and wait 20 days before proceeding."Su Bai ordered.

The persimmon dyeing on the earth side is like this. The purpose is to let the juice start to ferment. In this way, the cloth will be easier to color.

On the earth side, persimmon dyeing is also called the dye of the sun. , the name is still very nice.

But in the primitive era, the dye of the sun is not related to tomatoes, because the difference is that persimmons contain rich tannins.

This is the source of the astringency when we eat persimmons. This component is in It is more likely to oxidize under light and play a role in color development, so it is called sun dye.

Although tomatoes do not have this ingredient, the degree of coloring is the same, but the color may not be preserved as long. I won’t try it. How do you know it all at once?

"Do you have to wait so long? Do we have to wait until these things are fermented?"Yu Ying used the vocabulary she learned last time.

"Well, just let it ferment, and then you can better carry out the next step."Su Bai nodded, but he didn't expect that the other party would quickly apply what he had learned.

"I see."Yu Ying nodded, hugged the ball of tomato juice and put it in the corner.

"Go and get some other fruits. Aren't there a lot of wild fruits grown in the wooden shed? And I picked a lot of them before the big snow and ice arrived, so let’s make a pot of them all as we did just now. Su

Bai blinked his black eyes and continued:"Try these kinds of fruits together, and you can always find the most suitable one.""

There were no pigments in primitive times. The best pigment was the juice of these fruits, which was also the best material for dyeing.

But we don't know which one is the best for dyeing linen, and we don't know which one has the best color retention." The temperature is the longest, and all these can only be known through experiments.

Anyway, we have already started to do it, why not just take out all the fruits and test them once.

It won’t take long, we have to wait more than 20 days anyway, and then we can unify them. Just experiment

"Got it, then I'll get it."Yu Ying said immediately.........................................
