"Crying won't help. You came here looking for trouble. Why aren't you leaving? Are you just waiting to get beaten up?"
Frostflower was embarrassed and ran away crying, covering her face.
The beastmen looked at Shen Miao and laughed, "That's just a good-for-nothing. Shen Miao, just ignore her and chase her away."
Shen Miao smiled, knowing that these beastmen were still kind-hearted and afraid that she would harm Shuanghua, so they drove her away. She wasn't that kind of mean-spirited person, and besides, Shuanghua had already learned her lesson, so there was no need to hold a grudge.
As the orcs gradually mastered weaving techniques, they produced more and more cloth, and the quality began to improve.
However, these fabrics were all very plain and lacked color. Although everyone thought they were good enough, Shen Miao still wanted to make them even better.
She remembered watching a video in her previous life where people used plants to make natural dyes to dye cloth. The resulting cloth had bright and beautiful colors and cost nothing.
Shen Miao would often go up the mountain and find some plants suitable for making dyes.
At first, she tried to dye several pieces of cloth but failed because she couldn't control the dyeing process well. She then used the ruined cloth to make curtains and learned from her mistake to try again.
The fabric was dyed perfectly very quickly.
She took the cloths, which had been dyed in various colors, to the river to wash them. Everyone was amazed when they saw the cloths and asked Shen Miao what magic she had used to create such beautiful cloths.
Look at the color, it's just like a rainbow in the sky. Some superstitious people actually think that Shen Miao borrowed the color from God.
Shen Miao spread out the red cloth and said with a smile, "This cloth was made in the weaving workshop."
"What? That can't be right. The cloth from the weaving workshop is nowhere near as nice as this."
At first, everyone thought that it would be good enough if they could weave the same kind of cloth as those in the workshop, but after seeing Shen Miao's cloth, they wanted the colored kind too.
Shen Miao explained, "It's the same, except that these ones are dyed, while the ones that were just woven haven't been dyed yet."
What, then, is staining?
No one dared to ask too many questions, after all, this was a profound skill, and it was already very good that she could teach them how to weave. Asking more questions would make them seem like they didn't know their place.
After watching for a while, everyone reluctantly dispersed.
When Shen Miao got home, she hung the washed fabrics out to dry in the yard. They were all colorful and looked quite nice. She couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up.
It's been so long! After being here for so long, I can finally wear pretty clothes openly.
Once these fabrics are dry, she will definitely make some nice clothes for herself and her children.
After hanging up the clothes, Shen Miao turned around unintentionally and saw the bird-beastman standing at the door, staring blankly at the cloth. The other party did not speak and she did not know how long he had been standing there.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Shen Miao understood what she was thinking and greeted her, "Sister-in-law Li Chun, do you like these fabrics? Come in and take a look, it's alright."
"Can we really go in and see?" Li Chun was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course, it won't hurt to take a look." Shen Miao laughed heartily.
Li Chun walked in, carefully running her fingers over the fabrics, and said enviously, "They're really beautiful."
Li Chun is considered one of the more beauty-conscious young female beasts in the tribe. She always keeps her animal skin clean and occasionally sticks a few dried flowers on it.
So it's not surprising that Shen Miao likes these fabrics so much.
"Sister-in-law Li Chun, let me give you a piece of red cloth. I dyed a bit too much this time, so you can use it to make clothes when you get back," Shen Miao offered.
Li Chun had been lingering in front of these fabrics for quite some time; if she didn't speak up, she would seem too stingy.
Upon hearing this, Li Chun was flattered and quickly shook his head: "No, no, how can you give me such precious cloth directly? I, I'll buy it with beast crystals."
She gritted her teeth and asked, "Shen Miao, name your price, how much for this cloth?"
In Shen Miao's opinion, this cloth was at best crudely made, but in this world, it was already considered good.
If she were to sell it, the price couldn't be too low, otherwise, if other orcs from the tribe came looking for her, she wouldn't be able to raise the price. Thinking of this, Shen Miao said tactfully, "Sister-in-law Li Chun, it depends on how much you want. If you want a small amount, I'll just give it to you for free. We're neighbors, so giving you some cloth is no problem."
"I want a lot, I want every color."
Upon hearing this, Shen Miao realized that she couldn't give it away. She had dyed her hair in five colors this time: red, cyan, blue, purple, and green.
Li Chun has big ambitions; he wants all five.
She herself was a little embarrassed and said, "Chen Miao, name your price, I'll buy it."
Since she said that, Shen Miao didn't hold back and quoted a price. Li Chun felt a pang of pain when she heard it. So many beast crystals! How long would it take her family to earn that much?
However, she had her own reasons. Even though the fabric was expensive, she gritted her teeth and bought it anyway.
Shen Miao placed the fabric she wanted into her hands and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Li Chun, I see you seem very interested in these fabrics. Would you like to learn how to make them?"
Li Chun was thrilled when he heard this.
Why did she spend so many beast crystals to buy fabric? Was it really for her own consumption? No, she wanted to learn this craft from Shen Miao. With that skill, she could have as much fabric as she wanted.
Then she can take the dyed cloth to the animal farm to sell, and the beast crystals she spent will be earned back!
She just didn't expect that before she could even figure out how to bring it up, Shen Miao would guess what she was thinking.
“Yes, Shen Miao, I really want to learn. Would you be willing to teach me? Don’t worry, even if I learn it, I will never reveal it to anyone,” Li Chun said eagerly.
Shen Miao smiled and said, "No problem. I'm willing to teach you, so I'm not afraid that you'll leak it."
Li Chun rubbed his hands together, so excited he didn't know what to say, only praising Shen Miaoren for her beauty and kindness.
"Don't talk about that yet, sister-in-law. I have something else to discuss with you. Come, let's sit under the tree and talk slowly."
Shen Miao led Li Chun to sit under the tree, washed some fruit from the kitchen, and served it to her in a stone bowl. Li Chun had never been so particular before and was very curious about the life in Shen Miao's home.
She looked at the flower-filled yard and the spotless house, and felt a pang of envy.
I don't know how Shen Miao did it, but ever since her personality improved, the family's life has gotten better and better. Look, there's always fruit in the kitchen, including wild fruits that she's never eaten before.
Shen Miao didn't notice the envy in Li Chun's eyes. She went straight to the point, "Sister-in-law Li Chun, it's like this, as you know, only I know my fabric dyeing technique. Even the fabrics I make are unique. If I sell them, I'm sure I'll have no shortage of buyers, right?"
