Hearing Lu Yu's words, everyone in the live broadcast room was energized.
Not to mention Professor Wang, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
[Blue Stained Heart: Streamer Lu Yu, I have an unkind feeling.]
[Blue Dye Heart: If possible, can you please use multiple cameras to film the dyeing process?]
"Sure, no problem. However, today's main view will still be from one camera. I will put the recordings of the remaining two cameras in today's live broadcast replay. You can watch it yourself when the time comes.”
Lu Yu knew that Professor Wang wanted to learn more and had no ill intentions, so he agreed readily.
Lu Yu walked to a corner of the courtyard and lifted a board on the ground, revealing a furnace below.
While cleaning the furnace and putting fuel into it, Lu Yu asked,
"What's everyone's impression of Lan Ran? Do you think that blue dye is hand-dyed blue fabric with patterns on it?”
That's for sure. Since the name is Lan Ran, it must be blue.
Everyone replied.
"But there are actually many types of blue dye. As far as I know, there are five common blue dye colors.”
Lu Yu smiled."
"These species all have very nice and beautiful names.”
"From shallow to deep, there are blue dyed under the sun, blue dyed under the moon, blue dyed under the mountain shadow, blue dyed under the water, and blue dyed under the silent night.”
There were actually so many types?
Everyone was stunned.
Professor Wang, who heard Lu Yu's explanation, was so excited that he clenched his fists tightly. He even grabbed the mouse so hard that it made cracking sounds.
Blue dyed five colors! It was blue and dyed five colors!
According to the ancient records of weaving, blue dyeing had five basic colors of different shades. The other derivative colors were all mixed with these five colors as the base color.
However, even if there were records, there were no photos in ancient times. The fabric that was left behind at that time had long decayed due to the passage of time. It was difficult to recognize the original texture, let alone the color.
Therefore, the so-called blue dyed five colors became a mystery in the industry.
No one knew what the blue dye looked like.
But now, Lu Yu actually said them all, and they all had names!
Professor Wang was shocked, but he couldn't help but think.
Lu Yu had previously said that he had learned these skills from his mother.
However, how could an ordinary woman from the depths of the mountains master such a long-lost technique?
Professor Wang couldn't understand.
However, now was not the time for him to think about such things.
This was because Professor Wang was racking his brains at the moment, thinking of what kind of reason he could use to convince Lu Yu to make as many blue-dyed colors as possible.
After all, there would be no more shops after this village.
Lu Yu was a lifestyle streamer, not someone who specialized in weaving.
If he did it once, the audience in the live broadcast room could see it as something new. If he did it twice or thrice, there would definitely be people who would get tired of it. Lu Yu would not agree to record it a few more times.
Therefore, it was the most important thing for Professor Wang to see as many blue and five-colored water recipes as possible in this limited opportunity.
After all, he only had one chance to learn!
Just as he was thinking hard about how he could tactfully plead with Lu Yu to make one or two more colors, Lu Yu, who had just lit up the furnace on the screen, spoke in advance.
"I guess everyone doesn't know that there are so many colors in blue dye. If you only make one, you'll be curious about how beautiful the other four colors are.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu walked to the stone table, picked up his usual backpack, and took out a bag of things.
"I've been thinking about this question, so this afternoon, when I sent Zhengxiao back from the airport, I specially bought a piece of white cotton cloth made of aluminum from a small dyeing workshop in the county and divided it into four portions.”
"In this way, I can show everyone the other colors and make it easier for everyone to exchange and learn.”
Lu Yu took out four pieces of white cotton cloth from the bag and smiled casually.
This…!
Professor Wang was stunned.
He had lived to such an old age. If he could not even understand the meaning behind Lu Yu's words, then he would have lived in vain!
Most of the people in the live broadcast room were just watching the show. Who would really expect to learn the blue dyeing technique after watching this live broadcast?
He was the only one who came to watch the live broadcast to learn and restore the Aizen technique!
In other words, Lu Yu actually wanted to let him have a more comprehensive understanding of the techniques he had mastered, so he proposed to dye all five colors in one piece to show everyone the effect.
Moreover, he had agreed without hesitation when he asked for a multi-camera understanding of the entire dyeing process.
This young man…was really thoughtful…
Professor Wang was extremely touched.
He made up his mind. Other than the 50,000 yuan he had promised Lu Yu to use to buy the color cream, he had to think of another way to thank Lu Yu.
Of course, Lu Yu didn't know what Professor Wang was thinking. He was just doing his preparations methodically.
"There are only three places in my house that can boil water at the same time. There are two gas stoves in the kitchen and this stove in the courtyard.”
"Because the piece of cotton cloth that I personally weaved before was relatively long and needed a lot of space, I will dye this piece of hand-woven cotton cloth in this underground furnace in the courtyard.”
"I'll mix the color water needed for the remaining four pieces in the kitchen twice.”
"This time, the color I chose for the hand-woven cotton cloth is the most balanced of the five colors of blue dye, the 'mountain shadow'.”
Lu Yu smiled and carried out the big pot that was used to boil soybean milk and soak cotton cloth in the kitchen yesterday.
After filling a pot of spring water in the backyard, Lu Yu placed the pot on the stove.
The fire below the furnace was not very strong. It was even a little dim, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.
Some netizens saw this scene and kindly sent bullet comments to remind Lu Yu that it was time to add firewood.
When Lu Yu saw this, he only smiled and shook his head."
"I only put this firewood on purpose.”
"Our color paste is naturally extracted from plants. If the temperature is too high, it will easily destroy the internal structure and cause the color to change due to the temperature difference.
However, the mixing process requires a certain temperature, so I used such a small fire to make it easier to control.”
After hearing Lu Yu's words, Professor Wang, who was sitting in front of the computer, started writing again.
He took the indigo cream and the bright yellow cream that he had prepared previously to the stove. Then, he went back to the kitchen and took a small bag of something that looked black. Lu Yu began to mix the color water.
His movements were as careful as yesterday's mixing of the color paste. Every time he added a very small amount of the color paste into the pot, he would wait until the previous addition was completely melted before adding the next one.
As time passed, the temperature of the water in the pot had become a little hot and scalding. The color of the water had also become a very beautiful sapphire blue.
"…That's enough."
Lu Yu tilted his head and carefully observed the color for a long time. He put the bottle of indigo cream aside and picked up the bag of black stuff.
Little Brother Lu, what is this?
Some netizens had never seen this before and asked curiously.
"This is the Chinese tallow leaf juice that was picked yesterday and filtered after being squeezed into juice by a juicer.”
Lu Yu used a small spoon to scoop a spoonful into the pot as he explained,
"This kind of Chinese tallow leaf juice doesn't need the kneading process like yesterday. It just needs to be squeezed into juice. Naturally, it's more convenient to use a juicer to make it.”
"Isn't modern science and industry just to save us trouble? Since it could save him trouble, why did he choose the troublesome method?”
The Chinese tallow leaf juice was originally a liquid, so it naturally dissolved much faster in the pot.
However, as soon as this thing was placed in the pot, the originally beautiful sapphire blue water in the pot immediately turned a little black.
After the color was almost ready, Lu Yu added some yellow paste into it.
This time, the color change was not obvious, so no one could tell why.
After everything was added, the water in the pot began to steam along the side of the pot.
Lu Yu glanced at the steam beside the pot and without any hesitation, he reached his hand into the pot, gently swiped it, and quickly pulled it out.
F * ck! Ruthless Iron Hand!
？？Would he really not get scalded?
Little Brother Lu, let's use a thermometer next time. It looks scary.
"Although the thermometer is good, it's still more reliable to touch it with your hands. You know what level you've reached and what to do next.”
Lu Yu winked playfully at the drone.
"Although that cut won't burn you, I still don't recommend you to learn from me. After all, my skin is thick and I'm not afraid of being scalded.”
He scooped a ladle of spring water and extinguished the remaining flames in the furnace. After stirring the water in the pot twice, he directly threw the wax-covered cotton cloth into the pot!
This was the scene that everyone had been waiting for.
The pitch-black water continued to climb onto the pure white cotton cloth.
Miraculously, the cotton cloth that had been dyed with color was not the pitch-black color of colored water, but a very beautiful blue!
Lu Yu used his chopsticks to flip the cotton cloth over and over again. After ensuring that every inch of the cotton cloth was evenly soaked in the colored water, he moved a piece of washed mountain rock and wooden board into the pot to ensure that the cotton cloth was kept under the colored water and not exposed.
"Alright, now all this cotton cloth needs is enough patience.”
Lu Yu smiled and said.
