Hahahaha, Little Brother Lu understands me!
That's right, that's right. It's so boring to admit defeat like this!
He had guessed that the streamer would definitely come up with some amazing tricks and wait for Young Master Li to be defeated.
"See? They're all waiting to see you make a joke out of yourself.”
Lu Yu turned on the live broadcast on his mobile phone and handed it to Lee Zhengxiao, saying with a smile.
"This…"
Lee Zhengxiao looked at the netizens who were jeering in the bullet screen and the corner of his mouth twitched.
This group of people was so evil!
After a while, he sighed.
"Alright, alright, alright…I just want to see the people who hate eating vegetables. I'll eat…"
"Brother Lu, where's your vegetable garden?" Li Zhengxiao waved his hand. I'm going to show them how a rabbit turns into a spirit!”
"No, no…but if you really want to take the initiative to eat, I won't stop you. There's a bamboo basket with the date red horse. After you take it, go west. You should be able to reach the vegetable field about ten meters away. There's also a small mountain spring nearby.”
"However, vegetables are not like fruit trees and vines. I don't know how they are now. They might be barren.”
"If there are still vegetables, pick some good ones. You can also pick some fruits and bring them back to share with the neighbors.”
"Alright, then Brother Lu, you go ahead and leave the other side to me.”
Lee Zhengxiao was most afraid of being idle. Seeing that Lu Yu had given him some work to do, he was happy. He jogged back to the courtyard to get the basket.
As for Lu Yu, after plucking seven or eight plants with small pink flowers, he estimated that the amount should be about the same. He stood up and began to look for his next target.
Little Brother Lu, you've already started to prepare the materials. Can you tell us what you're going to do?
Yeah, yeah, don't keep us in suspense. Otherwise, there's no point in us standing here and watching you pull the weeds.
Lu Yu smiled when he saw his fickle netizens getting anxious. He said,"
"Alright, then I won't keep you in suspense. Everyone should have heard of the printing and dyeing technology in ancient China, right?”
"What I want to show everyone is the blue dyeing process based on wax.”
Lu Yu's words caused an uproar.
Trickster shoes…What were those?
Wasn't it said that the real blue dyeing technique had been lost? Little Brother Lu actually knows this? He wasn't bragging, right?
Looking at the neat question marks, Lu Yu was not in a hurry. As he searched for his target, he explained,
"Blue dyeing is a technique used in ancient times. It wasn't as developed as it is now. There were all kinds of dyeing and fixing agents.”
"At that time, if you wanted to dye cloth or silk, you could only rely on these natural dye. After special treatment, you could prepare a rich color water and soak the cloth in it to bring about a variety of colors.”
"But this technique also has its flaws. Think about it, if a robe was all the same color, it would be too monotonous. If you want to make a beautiful pattern on the fabric, you have to use the waxing technique I just mentioned.”
Lu Yu explained while searching for his target.
When he saw a small tree not far away, Lu Yu's eyes lit up. He quickly ran over and took out a small chopper that he carried with him to cut it down.
"In ancient Chinese, it means printed fabric with patterns. Wax printing referred to the use of beeswax to create such patterned printed products.”
"Melt the beeswax and permeate it into the fabric in the form of a pattern. The beeswax will seal that piece of fabric so that it will not be contaminated by the colored water.”
"In this way, as long as the other parts are dyed and the beeswax is removed, you can get a beautiful patterned dyed cloth.”
It was not easy to cut the small tree into a suitable size to put in the bamboo basket. Although the temperature here was already much lower than outside, it still made Lu Yu sweat.
Although he had tried his best to simplify the process of blue dyeing to a level that everyone could understand, Lu Yu still underestimated the shock that this almost lost traditional craft brought to everyone.
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the live broadcast room, followed by another wave of bullet comments.
F * ck, it sounds so complicated and awesome!
Although I don't really understand what's going on, I feel like the streamer is trying her best to make me understand...
Little Brother Lu is really a treasure streamer. It's only been a few days since I started broadcasting, but I've already seen a lot of things that I wouldn't have been able to pick up normally in this live broadcast room...
Other than these emotional comments, Lu Yu also noticed two bullet comments:
Hello, Lu Yu! I'm a student at Jiangnan University. My mentor specializes in blue dye restoration, but I've always been stuck at a bottleneck and can't fully restore it.
Streamer, you said that you know how to dye blue. Can I invite my mentor to watch your live broadcast? If possible, I would like to ask you to enlighten me.
Once these two comments were sent, the netizens quieted down.
After all, blue dyeing was a lost craft. Just like what the Jiangnan University student had said in the bullet screen, many instructors who specialized in this field had struggled for many years, but they had not been able to completely restore this skill.
Although Lu Yu had given them many surprises, everyone was more or less suspicious of this intangible cultural heritage technology.
And now, this student was very straightforward and asked Lu Yu to let her mentor watch the live broadcast and let Lu Yu give her some pointers.
If Lu Yu did not agree, it meant that what he said just now was quite exaggerated.
If he agreed, it would actually be very awkward. After all, he had been working in this profession for decades, and Lu Yu was just a live streamer.
If he did something wrong and was pointed out by others, wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of hundreds of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room?
Whether he agreed or not, it would be very difficult!
Just as everyone was nervous about how Lu Yu would answer, they did not expect Lu Yu to agree so readily.
"Sure, no problem."
"After all, blue dyeing wasn't exclusive in ancient times. Dyeing workshops all over the world had their own unique techniques and dye combinations, not the same.”
"Since it has been passed down to this day, there should be a big difference in the people who still have this technology.”
"It's a good thing to have professionals to discuss with us. We might even be able to learn from each other's strengths!”
Not only did Lu Yu not feel embarrassed, but he also nodded excitedly."I'll start preparing the color potion after I go back in the afternoon. When the time comes, you must invite your mentor to take a look!”
666, the streamer is so generous!
We were nervous for a long time just now, afraid that you would lose face. I didn't expect you to be so open-minded!
"What's there to lose face about? I'm not that petty."
Lu Yu shook his head with a smile. As he plucked off the leaves of a certain broad-leaved plant in front of him and put them into the bamboo basket, he said,
"I don't know what everyone's definition of losing face is, but for me, if I'm pointed out by a senior with more experience, it's not losing face. Instead, I should thank them.”
It had to be said that this open-minded and free personality was indeed very likable. Because of Lu Yu's words, there was another wave of gifts in the live broadcast room.
"Indigo, Chinese tallow tree, sappan wood, pagoda tree…it seems to be enough.”
After working for almost an hour, Lu Yu counted the amount of natural dye he had picked. He felt that it should be enough, so he carried the bamboo basket and prepared to return.
However, when he returned to the courtyard, he did not see any trace of Lee Zhengxiao.
That's not right. The spring and vegetable field are very close to here. It can't be that Lee Zhengxiao hasn't finished the fruits and vegetables in more than an hour, right?
Could he have gotten lost?
Lu Yu's heart tightened slightly.
The plants in the vicinity were very lush. In addition, he had not been back for many years. The roads that he had stepped on were mostly covered by layers of weeds. It was really difficult to distinguish the newcomers.
She had forgotten about this earlier. If she had known earlier, she would have let him stay in the courtyard and eat and drink obediently.
Lu Yu was a little annoyed. He quickly put down the bamboo basket on his body and went out to look for Lee Zhengxiao.
"Zhengxiao, Zhengxiao? Can you hear me? Where did you go?"
Lu Yu shouted as he observed the traces of the weeds on the ground.
Judging from the traces, Lee Zhengxiao did not go wrong. He did go in the direction of the vegetable garden.
But at this distance, he should be able to hear her shout? Why didn't he respond?
Lu Yu was filled with doubt. He quickened his pace and chased after the grass print that had been stepped on.
After walking for a while, Lu Yu finally saw Lee Zhengxiao by the stream formed by the mountain spring.
He was holding a half-eaten white radish in his hand as he sat quietly by the stream, thinking about something.
"Zhengxiao, why didn't you respond to me when I called you so loudly? I thought you got lost. The road in the mountains is not easy to walk on. If you really lost it, it would be difficult for me to find you.”
Lu Yu heaved a sigh of relief and walked toward Lee Zhengxiao. However, when he was about ten meters away from him, he suddenly stopped.
Lee Zhengxiao…something was wrong!
Although he looked the same as usual, if one observed carefully, one could see that his expression was very stiff.
Lu Yu also noticed that Lee Zhengxiao's index finger was swaying slightly behind his back.
Lee Zhengxiao was not letting him go over!
