After Shen Chuchu showed the piece of cloth to Shen Baochuan, she also asked about Zhao Feng. Shen Baochuan hesitated for a moment and chose to tell Shen Chuchu the truth.
"So that's it, I thought he was really our servant!"
Shen Baochuan smiled and said to Shen Chuchu.
"You are still too willful. What's wrong with marrying the son of Zhizuo Mansion?"
"Now that we have such a cloth again, as long as we can gain a relationship with Zhizuofu, we will definitely be able to restore our status as an imperial merchant!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Chuchu shook his head and said.
"I don't want to marry someone else as a concubine!"
"What's more, I have already heard about the young master of Zhizuo Mansion. Not only is he extremely stupid, but he also looks like he has been drained by alcohol and sex."
"If I want to marry, I want to marry an unparalleled hero!"
"Or someone very smart!"
Shen Baochuan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly.
Shen Baochuan was about to say something more about asking Shen Chuchu to marry, but Shen Chuchu had already seen this and ran out directly.
"Dad, I won't tell you anymore, Zhao Feng is still waiting for me!"
"I have to ask her to take a good look at our business and see if there is anything else that can be improved!"
Shen Baochuan felt helpless for a moment, then rolled his eyes and seemed to have an idea in his mind.
But here, when Shen Chuchu returned to the dyeing workshop, Zhao Feng was already looking at the dyes with a thoughtful expression.
Shen Chuchu ran over excitedly and said to Zhao Feng.
"I just showed the fabric to my dad. The color of this fabric is very pure and bright, not as dull as other fabrics, so it will definitely become famous!"
Zhao Feng heard this and nodded with a smile.
"Other fabrics cannot eliminate the interference of the original color of the fabric, which will naturally make the dyed color dull."
"That's why brightly colored fabrics are more expensive."
Shen Chuchu looked at Zhao Feng in surprise, and then said in surprise.
"I didn't expect you knew so much!"
Zhao Feng waved his hand casually, thinking that if alum could be added to these dyes, the dyed colors would be brighter!
And although these dyes are the best materials, they are really not suitable for dyeing cloth.
Zhao Feng remembered that there were several natural plant dyes that could be used for dyeing operations, and all of these plants were available in the area where they lived!
So Zhao Feng said to Shen Chuchu.
"Then I'll go home first. You first have people buy these quicklime, and then look for alkali ores."
"Natural alkali ore is a stone that looks white and tastes a little bitter. You can find it if you look carefully."
Shen Chuchu quickly wrote down all this, and then asked reluctantly.
"I thought you were going to live with us, so when will you come back?"
Zhao Feng didn't realize the emotion in Shen Chuchu's words, but touched his chin and thought.
"Probably the day after tomorrow. I will go to the mountains tomorrow to look for some plants. If I can find them, your fabric dyeing process can go a step further."
Shen Chuchu no longer cared about the fabric, but looked at Zhao Feng dreamingly. Zhao Feng didn't notice this, and left directly after bidding farewell to Shen Chuchu.
Shen Chuchu looked at Zhao Feng's back with a trace of reluctance in her eyes, but then looked at the piece of cloth in her hand, and a smile filled her face again.
When Zhao Feng returned home, Chen Rou had already prepared the meal and was waiting for Zhao Feng.
"You've been here all day, are you tired?"
After hearing Chen Rou's words, Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"I'm not tired, and I've found a better business."
"Madam, it won't be long before we can make a lot of money lying down!"
Chen Rou nodded and looked at Zhao Feng's leaky shoes with some distress.
"Your shoes are worn out and you're not tired yet. When you go to the county town tomorrow, buy some more cloth and I'll make you a new pair of shoes!"
Zhao Feng was thinking about those natural plant dyes and just nodded subconsciously.
Zhao Feng still got up early the next day, but instead of going to the county seat, he went to the mountains.
The traps he set the day before yesterday were all ready to be harvested. In addition, he needed to find some natural plants to use as dyes, so he wandered around the mountains more.
Chen Rou thought Zhao Feng had gone to the county town, but she didn't see Zhao Feng coming out of the mountains until noon.
"Oh, why did you go into the mountains again?"
Zhao Feng smiled and pointed to the basket he was carrying on his back.
"Aren't we going to harvest those prey? If we don't collect the goods, these things will starve to death, and they will definitely not be sold for much money by then!"
Chen Rou said with some worry.
"Husband, actually our family has enough money now, so husband doesn't have to work so hard."
"What's more, didn't my husband say he wanted to do a business? It's too dangerous to go into the mountains all the time!"
Zhao Feng knew that Chen Rou was worried about him, so he smiled and agreed without refuting.
Chen Rou looked at Zhao Feng very affectionately, then walked over directly and gently squeezed Zhao Feng's shoulders.
Zhao Feng only felt Chen Rou's very soft little hands kneading his shoulders and neck, which immediately made Zhao Feng feel a surge of heat.
Regardless of the fact that it was broad daylight, he directly picked up Chen Rou, walked into the house, and closed the door with his foot.
Chen Rou suddenly let out a scream, but soon became too shy to make any sound.
Seeing Chen Rou looking like she was ready to be picked by anyone, Zhao Feng couldn't help but move his hands up and down.
But just as the process was about to reach a critical moment, someone outside suddenly shouted Zhao Feng's name.
"Brother Zhao, are you at home?"
Chen Rou quickly stopped Zhao Feng's next move, and then pointed outside with a blushing face.
Zhao Feng sighed helplessly, why didn't he always succeed?
But the man outside seemed not to give up until he saw Zhao Feng, so Zhao Feng had no choice but to pack his clothes and go out.
When I came outside, I discovered that it was a villager from Chenjiazhuang, and there was a middle-aged man wearing expensive clothes with him.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this middle-aged man. Judging from this middle-aged man's temperament, appearance and clothing, it was obvious that this middle-aged man was no ordinary person.
The villager from Chenjiazhuang walked over quickly and said to Zhao Feng with a smile.
"Brother Chen, after this man saw the water tanker in our village, he asked me to take him to find the person who built the water tanker!"
"I don't know what to do."
Zhao Feng nodded, walked over to the middle-aged man, cupped his hands, and asked.
"I wonder what's wrong with you, sir?"
