After crossing over, I was busy with the infrastructure construction in the beast world.

Chapter 235 Washing Cloth
After breakfast, Su Yue led the anxious clansmen to the iron department.

The Iron Works Department was only built in the past two days, and it was quite large, and there were no extra walls, so it looked quite empty.

After a night of preparation, the clansmen had already prepared what she needed.

Two large bellows, a large pile of steel and charcoal, and two furnaces taller than them.

Looking at these things, Su Yue secretly blasted her tongue, last night when the clansmen said they were going to prepare.

Originally, she thought that one furnace and one bellows would be enough, but she didn't expect to get two of each, and they were so tall and big.

Moreover, these things have basically been assembled, so there is no need for Su Yue to guide them. Now they can start ironmaking immediately.

"Now listen to my order, first raise the fire in the furnace, and then pour steel and charcoal..."

"Now, right now, pour all the iron ore we use into it, add carbon, quickly continue to add carbon, add steel charcoal..."

After sending the steel carbon and iron ore into the furnace, Su Yue continued to say to the other two tribesmen,

"You two must work hard to pull the bellows to make the fire burn vigorously, so that the iron ore can be melted."

The two tribesmen wiped the sweat left on their faces and said in unison,
"Okay, don't worry, leader, we must pull it hard and try to melt the iron ore as soon as possible, so we can see what the iron looks like."

Su Yue nodded.

"Well, then it's hard for you."

"Not hard, not hard."

Since the two furnaces were made very large, all the iron ore they brought back were loaded into them.

Fortunately, the iron ore delivery team should be back soon, and the iron ore will be used again tomorrow.

The fire in the stove is burning fiercely and has never been broken. As long as the flames tend to decline, the clansmen will add steel charcoal to it.

Now is not the time to make ironware, so the clansmen who forged iron in the surrounding area are very leisurely.

But as long as a clansman said that his hands were sore and he couldn't pull the bellows, he would immediately switch to another one to continue pulling.

Now it is the hottest time of the year, and the outside of the tribe is like a big steamer.

Not to mention the inside, the two big stoves are burning, and the stoves are already glowing red.

The clansmen stood inside as if they were fished out of the water, sweat dripping down.

But none of the clansmen were willing to leave, they all wanted to witness with their own eyes how the ironware was forged.

The charcoal fire in the stove has been burning since it was dark in the morning until now, and it is almost noon now, but there is still no sign of the ore inside being melted.

Su Yue began to walk around the forging room agitatedly.

I thought to myself, is it because the temperature of the steel and charcoal is simply not enough to melt the iron ore, is it really a failure this time?
Su Yue was completely immersed in her own thoughts, and did not observe the surrounding clansmen at all.

Because of her irritable breath, all the clansmen also became irritable, walking around with Su Yue.

Ah Hao was the first to feel Su Yue's emotions, just when he was at a loss and was thinking of how to comfort her.

But when he saw the clansmen around him, because Su Yue also started to walk around in agitation, he thumped in his heart and secretly shouted that it was not good.

Ah Hao patted Su Yue's shoulder cryptically, and pointed at the clansmen who were getting more and more irritable beside him, Su Yue immediately came to her senses.

With a flash in his eyes, he secretly patted his chest to stabilize his mind, and said to the crowd,
"Okay, folks, don't be nervous, the time is too short now, so the iron ore hasn't changed yet.

After a long time, it will be fine, don't worry, the ironware will definitely be able to be successfully made..."

After Su Yue finished speaking, she looked at the clan members who were still not very stable and continued to speak.

"Didn't we dye the cloth red yesterday? Didn't we say that we have to wash it after the dyeing is successful today? Let's go over and have a look and clean the cloth before coming here."

Sure enough, the attention of the clansmen was quickly diverted away.

When the clansmen heard that the cloth they dyed was almost ready and could be washed in the river, all the clansmen rushed over, wanting to see the brightly colored cloth.

After all, they have only seen pure white cloth in the past few months, and have not seen cloth of other colors.

When Su Yue took the iron-making tribesmen there, the square was already crowded with people.

She took several large wooden buckets and told her parents who came with her to take out all the soaked cloths.

After the cloth was taken out, the clansmen soon discovered that all the cloth was already red, without the original appearance of the cloth.

Fortunately, the red juice only dyed the cloth, not the hands, so the hands of the few of them were clean.

Su Yue, Ah Hao, A Da, and Gillian each carried a bucket of dyed cloth and walked towards the lake.

There is a big stone by the lake, the stone has been scoured very clean, and the clansmen often wash and rinse on it.

Su Yue stood on the big rock and put the cloth in her hand into the water to wash it.

As soon as the cloth was put into the water, the water was immediately dyed red. After cleaning for a while, they found some problems.

The pigment attached to the surface of the cloth can be washed away with a little water.

But the red juice that had already entered the fabric was all absorbed on it without any change.

Su Yue cleaned it carefully again until the surface was cleaned extremely clean without any residue.

Only then did Grandma hold one end of the cloth, and the two squeezed the water off the cloth vigorously.

After wringing out the water, the mother and daughter unfolded the cloth and observed that the pure white cotton cloth had been dyed red.

It's just that the experience of dyeing cloth for the first time is not very good. Some places have heavy colors and some places have light colors.

One piece in the east and one piece in the west, it really doesn't look very good-looking.

Su Yue felt a little disappointed in her heart, she did not expect the initial test to fail.

But the clansmen didn't think so. Looking at the glowing red fabric, they shouted excitedly.

They had never seen a red Bupiller before, and now their eyes were finally opened.

Seeing the water in the lake slowly becoming very clear, Su Yue and Aunt took the cloth they had cleaned up to the lake to clean it up again.

Soon they found that the cloth, which had been washed clean, began to fade again.

Seeing the increasingly faded cloth, Su Yue was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered something. In modern times, they usually put a handful of salt in the washed clothes.

The bleaching of clothes that have been salted is not so serious, and the colors are quite bright.
