chapter 12 : What I want is not to win, but to crush!

Scott Shen couldn't help looking at Tian Shisan again, because he represented Hale Tian 's will of the Mafia .

And just now when Scott Shen was making dyes, Jinxiu Pavilion Morgan Lin betrayed him and sent someone to inform the Xu family to come. Sidney Tian obviously saw it, but he didn't have any intention to stop it, let alone remind Scott Shen.

Therefore, at this moment , Scott Shen was facing three behemoths.

The Xu Family, the Lin Family , Tian Hale Tian , the Mafia .

So the smartest thing he can do now is to admit that this formula was stolen, and then immediately implement the great cause of upgrading Ruanfan, and retaliate wildly after he has power.

Because Celestine Xu agreed in front of the Official of Xuanwu City that if Scott Shen pleaded guilty, everything would be forgotten.

She is a person who cherishes her reputation, if Scott Shen pleaded guilty, she would definitely not attack him face to face today, but would just let Hale Tian Heng deal with him secretly, at least Scott Shen would be safe today.

But!

Want to pour this pot of dirty dung on Scott Shen's head, and let him do it himself?

Absolutely impossible, Scott Shen would never be so useless.

Shen Lang looked at Celestine Xu and asked, "You said that my new formula of golden yellow dye was stolen, what evidence do you have?"

The Head of the Family sneered, "You, Scott Shen, are just an ignorant waste, and my Xu Family has been in the Journal of Silk cloth business for decades, and I am the best at dyeing. This golden dye formula is made by me and Qianqian painstakingly researched and developed it himself. I don’t know how much manpower, material and financial resources were spent. It took several years. We hid this secret, just wanting a surprise for the Weaving House of the King . But we didn’t expect you to be a fool They not only stole my property, molested my maid, but even stole the dye formula that is related to my family’s lifeblood.”

Then Head of the Family said coldly, "Qianqian, how important is this new formula, why did you put it in the drawer?"

Celestine Xu said, "I'm sorry father, I had complete trust in Scott Shen before, and I didn't know he would do such a thing."

Then, she looked at Shen Lang and said, "When you were in Xu Family, there were servants who bullied you, so I whipped them and ordered anyone who dared to say anything bad about you to be kicked out of the house. No one cares about you in Xu Family. I hate you for being mentally retarded, dull and stupid, I come to talk to you every day, I treat you so well, why do you do such a thing? Even if I abandon you for revenge, just take revenge on me personally, why do you want to break up my family Besides, if you don’t do those scandalous things, why would my Xu Family drive you out?”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Official present were a little weird.

But they believed half of what Head of the Family and Celestine Xu said.

The Xu Family is indeed proficient in Journal of Silk dyes, otherwise their Journal of Silk would not be exclusively for the King Weaving House. And they had heard of Scott Shen's reputation of being ignorant and incompetent, so they also firmly believed that this new formula was researched by the Xu Family and Scott Shen stole it.

Scott Shen said slowly, "You have no evidence, and neither do I, but everyone will believe that this new formula was researched by your Xu Family, and I have a hard time denying it."

Head of the Family secretly laughed in his heart, "It's good that you know."

This matter is really cool, not only got a wonderful golden yellow dye formula for nothing, but also sent Scott Shen to jail justifiably by the way.

Immediately, Head of the Family said coldly, "The truth has come to light, arrest people! Under torture, I don't believe that this trash will not confess."

"Why is Head of the Family in such a hurry?"Scott Shen said with a smile, "Although it's hard for me to argue, it's easy to prove it!"

Then, Shen Lang looked at Celestine Xu and said, "Miss Qianqian, you are proficient in dyes, so let me ask you, which color is the most difficult?"

Celestine Xu said, "The most difficult color is of course purple."

That's right, the most difficult color to dye in ancient times was purple, not yellow.

Of course, it is not impossible to dye purple. In ancient China, comfrey roots were first used to make purple dyes, but the color was inferior. Afterwards, the purple dye is made from dyed sea snails such as purple scorpion, and the purple color looks better.

Duke Huan liked to wear purple clothes. At that time, one bolt of purple cloth was worth five bolts of white cloth, so it was expensive and rare.

In the West, dyed seashells are used to make purple dyes. The ancient and the last queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty also liked this purple very much. Not only the clothes, but even the sails were dyed purple.

But whether it is dyeing conch or seashells to extract purple dye, the cost is extremely astonishing. Just one gram of dye requires three hundred dyed seashells.

Therefore, purple dyes were extremely rare and expensive in ancient times on Earth.

At this time, Scott Shen's world has not yet found a way to extract purple from dyed seashells and conch, so where does the purple dye come from in this world? It is directly made by mixing blue dye and red dye.

But the dyeing effect is really not flattering, because the dyes of these two colors are not clever in themselves. Although they are mixed together, there is purple, but the effect is even more complicated. The first is uneven dyeing, the color is dull and clumsy, and the most important thing is that the wet fastness of the two dyes is different, so purple Journal of Silk tends to fade easily.

Shen Lang said, "Purple dye is more difficult than yellow dye, right?"

Celestine Xu said, "Of course!"

Purple dye is hailed as an insurmountable problem by the world's cloth and Journal of Silk industry.

Shen Lang said, "It's very simple to prove whether I stole this golden dye. Let's conquer the purple dye together. Your Xu Family used the whole family's strength to manufacture purple dye. I only have one person and no money. I use the simplest and lowest Make purple dye at a low cost, and then see who can make the most beautiful purple in front of several people present? How about it?"

As soon as these words came out, several Official present nodded in agreement with this method.

Celestine Xu and Head of the Family looked at each other, they wanted to use this to imprison Scott Shen directly, and they didn't want to compete at all.

Immediately, Head of the Family sneered and said, "Why should we agree to you? We wasted our time, took it directly, and tortured you in prison. If you don't believe me, you won't confess."

If there were no Official present, then Scott Shen's method would not work, but there were several Official present, and the Official still needed some face, especially one of the Official, Scott Shen had some memory and understanding of him.

So, Shen Lang kept looking at the youngest Official. If he remembered correctly, this person was in charge of the prison in Xuanwu City, and he had just won the imperial examination not long ago, and he still had some vigor.

Seeing Scott Shen gaze, the young Official said, "Head of the Family, let him try it out. If he can't make better purple fuel, it will prove that he stole the golden yellow dye formula before, and he was directly arrested." That's right."

As soon as the young Official opened his mouth, Head of the Family eyes turned cold, and he took a serious look at the Official. This is really young, with a single mind.

However, even if he was unwilling, he couldn't refuse, after all, the Official had already spoken.

And he absolutely didn't believe that Scott Shen would be dyed in any way, no one knew Scott Shen better than Celestine Xu. Scott Shen may have obtained this yellow formula from some corner, the Xu family is the most professional in this regard, so Scott Shen will definitely lose, and he will die sooner or later.

"Then Master Yilin."Head of the Family said: "See how long this trash can last?"

Shen Lang said, "If the purple dye I made at a low cost is better, what does that prove?"

Celestine Xu said unwillingly, "That proves that you didn't steal the golden yellow dye formula, and we wronged you."

Shen Lang said, "Then you will have to admit the slander, and you will have to apologize to me."

Head of the Family said coldly, "Let's talk about it after you win."

Shen Lang said, "Well, let's limit it to three hours! After three hours, let's compete and the truth will be revealed!"

"Yes!" said an Official present.

Head of the Family said, "Immediately go to the house and get the best Dagong. Qianqian sits in charge and makes the best purple dye."

"Yes!"Celestine Xu said.

This time, the Xu Family is going to use the strength of the whole family.

And Scott Shen was still alone, and said to Morgan Lin, "Bos Lin, I'm going to borrow your back kitchen again."

"Of course."Morgan Lin said.

...

After Scott Shen entered the back kitchen, he took out his secret weapon.

The best source of purple dye is litmus lichen.

This is a kind of moss, which is everywhere and is worthless at all, but the purple color made from this material is the most vivid, lively and beautiful.

In England in the 18th century, Cuthbert stumbled across a moss plant that could make purple dye with incomparably good results.

Since then, the purple dye extracted from litmus lichen has dominated the dye industry for more than a hundred years. It was not until the chemical industry advanced by leaps and bounds that there was a cheaper synthetic purple dye.

Then why did Scott Shen prepare litmus lichen in advance?

Because this is his preparation.

Although the possibility of Morgan Lin betraying him is very small, it's not like he hasn't made such mental preparations before, so he secretly prepared his trump card, and now he really used it.

Scott Shen crushed the dried litmus lichen, and then boiled it with soot and urine.

A sheer purple is drawn in no time.

Next, brighten with alum.

In no time, an inexpensive, yet beautiful and wonderful purple dye came out.

Compared with the purple dye in this world, I don't know where Gao Ming has gone.

Then, Scott Shen picked up a piece of colorless Journal of Silk and put it in the dye for dyeing. After the dyeing was finished, he put it in the sun to dry.

Soon, purple Journal of Silk appeared.

What a wonderful purple, so bright and vivid, with noble connotations.

Completely killed the purple Journal of Silk in this world.

However, what Scott Shen wants to do is not only purple.

Just one purple color can win the Xu Family, but it's not good enough to beat them in the face.

He seized all the time and directly used the materials of Morgan Lin family to create seven kinds of dyes, to dye the most gorgeous, mysterious and magical rainbow Journal of Silk!

That is to say, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet are dyed on the same piece of Journal of Silk. If the speed is fast enough and the action is precise enough, the rainbow Journal of Silk produced will be extremely stunning and elegant.

Although he is not a professional dyer, he is indeed a dye enthusiast. But when he was in the Sutra Museum, he went to play for more than half a month, completely indulging in a very interesting interest class for a long time.

And when this Scott Shen entered the Xu Family, he saw the workers dyeing the cloth every day, and left related memories.

The most important thing is that there are materials in the alien laptop in Scott Shen mind, and every step and every material is clearly written.

Therefore, although he can't be the most professional and best, it is enough.

Three hours later, Scott Shen's purple Journal of Silk and rainbow Journal of Silk were all dyed.

Purple Journal of Silk is enough to win against Celestine Xu.

And this rainbow Journal of Silk is completely a killer feature.

It is unprecedented in this world, this stunning effect is enough to crush the Xu Family's Journal of Silk into scum!
