Pig Killer

"That's right. If the child doesn't grow in front of you, it will grow a lot after a few months of absence." Huang's mother smiled and said, "Wait two more days and the seedlings will sprout. By then, they will be green and beautiful." Then she added, "If the seedlings don't sprout in time, we have to replant them."

Shen Hui'e came back to her senses from her memories and looked at her and said, "No news is good news." She waved to Shen Yun'e and said, "I'm leaving."

Shen Yun'e watched the three of them leave before turning around and going home.

Shen Hui'e went to the countryside to collect pigs as usual. When she sent the child to Huang's mother's house, Huang Yuanji looked at her excitedly and said, "Second Aunt, Second Aunt, we found a beehive."

"Really?" Shen Hui'e's dark eyes instantly glowed green as she asked, "Where is it?"

"It's in the woods." Huang Yuanji said, sucking his saliva.

"What do you want to do? Don't provoke the bees. You will be in pain if you get stung." Huang's mother said to them who were obviously restless.

"Grandma is like honey! So sweet." Huang Yuanji said coquettishly while shaking her arm.

"That won't work either." Huang's mother looked at them sternly and said, "Behave yourself. If you get stung, you will not only suffer, but you will also have to pay for it. Don't rush to suffer."

Huang Yuanji looked at his second aunt with a pleading look on his face.

"Tomorrow when we sell pork, I'll show you what I look like, and you'll agree." Shen Hui'e looked at her with clear eyes and said.

"What can you wear?" Huang's mother looked at her suspiciously.

"You'll know when you see it. I can't explain it clearly. I have to go collect the pigs quickly." Shen Hui'e pointed outside.

"Okay, you can go! Don't worry, the children are here!" Huang's mother looked at her and said with a smile.

"How about the suspended ceiling?" Shen Hui'e looked at her gently and said.

"Very good!" Huang's mother said with a smile on her face, "The shops on the street have given them good measurements." She smiled and added, "The place at home is too small, so they are making straw mats and checkered squares in the threshing ground!"

"You have to tie it up firmly! You can't ruin your business." Shen Hui'e carefully reminded, "There are so many eyes watching us! If something goes wrong here and the buyer is not satisfied, they will take the blame."

"I understand, I understand." Huang's mother smiled and nodded, "It's not that we are afraid of not being able to keep up, but we are also afraid that others will take away our business." She said with a smile, "We will invite craftsmen from the village to weave straw mats and pay them for their work."

"Wow..." Shen Hui'e's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Well done, we can make money together."

"That's right." Huang's mother looked at her calmly and said, "Now we have to grab and rush."

"We can't tell anyone the price we agreed with the owner! We have to keep it strictly confidential." Shen Hui'e looked at them seriously and said, "Secrecy leads to success, while disclosure leads to failure."

"I know, I know." Huang's mother nodded vigorously. "Yuanji and the others don't know." She said cautiously, "Only your father and Yuanji's father know."

"The fewer people who know about it, the better." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes.

"I know that if this price gets out, people will try to lower the price to beat us." Huang's mother said with her pupils shrinking slightly.

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e looked at her with deep eyes and said, "Money moves people's hearts. People hate others for having money and are afraid of others for being rich! Jealousy drives people crazy."

"I understand! We announced to the public that we didn't make much money, but we distributed the money to everyone." Huang's mother said with a smile, "We don't show off our wealth, we just earn our hard-earned money."

"Yeah!" Shen Hui'e nodded slightly and said, "People's minds are hard to predict, so it's better to be careful."

"I understand." Huang's mother took a deep breath and said, "I know it very well."

"We also need to weave the mats according to the needs of the host family," Shen Hui'e reminded her.

"Dad Chong said it was just dyeing?" Huang's mother looked at her with some embarrassment and said, "I don't quite understand!"

"How is linen dyed?" Shen Hui'e pointed at the clothes she was wearing.

"It's grass." Huang's mother's eyes lit up when she heard that, but then she shook her head and said, "No! The color is not pretty. It can't compare with the golden mat."

"Is there no other grass to dye?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

"I don't know about that." Huang's mother blinked and looked at her and said, "If it could be dyed in other colors, we would have dyed it long ago. Who would still wear gray linen clothes?"

What else could Shen Hui'e say? She could only say, "Then let's look for it slowly!"

The nobility can wear bright colors because they have the pigments! They have the financial resources, the manpower, and the nationwide collection.

They are ordinary people who have to spend their entire lives living on this small piece of land, and the farthest place they can go is a county magistrate.

Plant dyes, you have to grow them on your land!

Mineral pigments also require minerals.

Shen Hui'e suddenly looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "What color is the water after we blanch these wild vegetables?"

"Most of them are green." Huang's mother blinked and looked at her and said, "Use it to dye the reeds?" She smacked her lips and said, "Is this possible?"

"Let's give it a try!" Shen Hui'e looked at her with a raised eyebrow and said, "Try all the wild vegetables and weeds you can see and see what color the water is."

"No, Second Aunt, can this be transmitted?" Huang Yuanji said when he heard it.

"Try it! Soak it in water." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her sparkling eyes and said, "By the way, add a little salt, it will be easier to color."

"Even if it is colored, it will fade!" Huang's mother pointed at her own hands and said, "My hands are stained with plant color. With time and frequent hand washing, they can be washed clean."

"That's easy! Dye it, put it in a cool place, and see how long it takes to fade." Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile.

"Then let's try it. We can find it everywhere anyway." Huang's mother looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, "After trying it, we will know better."

"We have done a good job of keeping it secret." Shen Hui'e reminded them.

"Let's try it on a small scale in our room," Huang's mother said cautiously.

"Okay! Just try it slowly, there's no rush." ​​Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with bright eyes.

"Will anyone buy it after it's dyed?" Huang Yuanji said worriedly, "I don't think it's anything special."

"Some people definitely like differences." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Rich people like to be unique, they don't like to be the same as everyone else, they like to be superior to others, and we look up to them."

"Uh..." Huang Yuanji blinked in confusion.

"Silly boy." Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and said, "So, when you see a noble you have to kneel down. Do you dare to look them in the eye?" She looked straight at him and asked.

"I dare not!" Huang Yuanji understood and said, looking up at the blue sky foolishly, "Can I only look up?"
