Chapter 113: Dyeing Techniques

tion."Although the price they offered was tempting and could solve our immediate food shortage, I didn't expose them. I haggled with them for a few days and finally agreed on a price before coming to...After receiving the red flower's gift, ripples cut off a small piece and put it in water to melt. Then, it got a small wooden basin of peacock tail color, and after spreading out, it was circle by circle, from light to dark, very beautiful.

The ripples first used a small piece of linen cloth as a handkerchief for the experiment. After putting it in, the color was automatically absorbed by the linen cloth. When the water in the basin absorbed all the color from the cloth, the water in the basin also became much clearer.

The ripples took out the handkerchief and placed it in the sun to dry until the linen was completely dry, then she rubbed it with her hands. Warmth, meanwhile, looked at her with surprise:

This color of fabric is so beautiful! We've never seen hemp fabric in any other colors.

She then pulled out her treasured burlap from the package, wanting to have Ripple dye it this peacock color.

"Don't worry, it still needs to be washed in water to see if the color will fade."

The ripples caused by striking a wooden basin with water, then placing a linen handkerchief into it and vigorously rubbing it, indeed resulted in the water turning peacock green within a short while, and the linen revealing its true color.

The warm and the three beasts were all a little disappointed that such a beautiful color had faded after just one wash.

"The ripples weren't unexpected, after all, there's no such thing as a permanent dye in this world," she thought for a moment, then said to Duo:

"Take some salt."

In her memory, salt could fix colors.

He handed Ripple a small animal-skin pouch, then said:

"We're running low on salt; it would be best to trade with the nearby beast tribes for some."

"Well, I know. It won't be wasted."

This time, ripples added salt to the wooden basin. After the salt dissolved, she put the already dyed hemp fabric back into the wooden basin for soaking. Then, small bubbles emerged on the surface of the colored hemp cloth. Fifteen minutes later, the handkerchief was taken out again and air-dried.

Then repeat the previous operation, washing the canvas again. The canvas still bled color, but not as noticeably as last time. There was still peacock color on the canvas, but after several washes, the color would fade completely.

This result was at least better than the first time, so Ripple adjusted the ratio of salt and water again. Through repeated experiments, the final peacock-colored fabric barely faded after washing.

The ripples first dyed the set of hemp clothes she was wearing into peacock color, then set about dyeing the whole piece of hemp that had been warmed and contributed into peacock color.

And their group also arrived at the Peacock Clan's territory. The Peacock Clan, in order to demonstrate their advantage of being able to fly, had their territory be made up of tall trees.

The ripples only brought Meng to the outskirts of the Peacock clan's territory. They did not enter without permission and then let Meng roar once.

After a roar, there was an immediate response. Ripples waited patiently, and after forty minutes, they saw a flock of beautiful peacocks flying in their direction.

After six male peacocks landed in a row, the leading peacock transformed into a tall and slender male peacock, who stood at two meters. He looked warily at Ripples and Mang, and asked directly:

"What beast clan are you from What brings you to our Peacock Clan"

"Hello! I am Ripple, a female, and messenger of the beast god. We have come to trade with you some salt for a new food we have discovered."

Ripple smiled sweetly in reply.

At the same time, a flash of the beast mark between her brows sent a surge of powerful energy to the six peacocks across from her. This power they had only ever felt on their tribe's shamans, so they lowered their guard and showed her a newfound respect.

"This is my follower Meng, he is a bear from the Bear Clan who was assigned to me as my bodyguard."

Ripple simply indicates the identity of a person.

All it took was a slight nod of his head, indicating that what Ripple had said was correct.

The leading male peacock, Green, looked at the two people in front of him, a glimmer of realization flashing in his eyes. Not long ago, he had heard the Shaman mention that there was an emissary of the Beast God who was traveling through the territories of various beast tribes, discovering new food that could allow the tribes to safely pass through the rainy season and the cold season.

And his gaze was fixed on Ripples, her linen clothing surprisingly colored, similar to the hues of their male counterparts' outer coverings.

"It turns out you are a messenger of the beast god, welcome to the Peacock Clan as our guest!"

After performing a beast race's etiquette, Green issued an invitation. Although the other party revealed their identity, he felt it was better to let the tribe's shaman see for themselves.

"I still have two followers who can't come with you to the tribe right now. I'll give you the new food we're exchanging first. Just bring the salt here tomorrow."

Ripple generously stated that she wasn't worried about the other party not honoring their word.

Green hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

"Please rest assured, we will be back at the same time tomorrow."

Green immediately took over a wicker basket that had just been delivered, it was heavy and contained quite a lot of things.

There are potatoes, sweet potatoes, yam noodles, corn starch, and a small jar of snake fruit jam. There are also some onions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers, as well as several seasoning fruits. Most importantly, there is a square piece of cloth the color of peacock feathers.

A green gaze swept over these items, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected the other party to trust them so much, giving them so many things directly.

"Give this to the witch, she'll know how to eat it."

After ripples finished speaking, she left with a rush, dashing away.

"Captain, is she really a messenger of the Beast God"

It shouldn't be wrong, otherwise they wouldn't be so generous and give us so many things! And you all felt it just now, right

"Well! But we don't have much salt on us, and if we go back to the tribe, it would take at least seven or eight days."

Another orc immediately chimed in.

Because their unit belonged to the patrol ogres, and they were stationed on the outskirts of their clan's territory, they appeared before them at the fastest speed possible after hearing the ferocious roar.

"Xiang, you are the fastest among us. Take these things and return to the tribe immediately. Give them to Wu so he can determine the identity of this person. We will gather the salt we have on us and give it to the messenger."

Green settles the matter.

"Good! This is my salt bag."

Xiang was the thinnest of the six, so after he transformed into a beast, his flying distance was farther than theirs. Therefore, he took this task without hesitation, leaving behind his salt bag. Xiang carried a wicker basket on his back, transformed into a beast, flapped his wings and flew a long distance.

The next day, Greenie brought a companion to the agreed-upon place and gathered all six people together. They gave the salt they had collected to Ripple and explained:

Messenger, because of your sudden arrival, our patrol team on the outskirts has only managed to gather this amount of salt. The rest should be on its way and will take a few days. If Hawk is quick, our shaman will send you an invitation.y."Husband, please don't make a fuss. I wouldn't want to upset the master and mistress on my first day of paying respects with tea."The ripples raised her own pink fist and lightly punched Lin Yiaozhu...
