Luo Xingchen is not stupid either. As soon as Su Tang said it, she understood and nodded, "I understand. I followed what you said and went to the largest cloth store in the capital this morning and bought some of all the fabrics. You have a look."
Seeing Su Tang talking like this, Luo Xingchen knew that he could rest assured now, so he took out a thick pile of handkerchief-like cloth.
Yesterday, Su Tang and Luo Xingchen talked about investigating the market. There must be a start. Su Tang opened the supermarket after reaching level 30. She unlocked an essential oil processing machine in the processing workshop, and then she rummaged around in the supermarket. After a while, I found a lot of dye.
Essential oils are good things and can be used to make many things, including essential oil soaps, essential oil candles, and even sell essential oils directly. They can also be made into skin care products and sold. However, because essential oils require a lot of flowers and so on, Su Tang did not buy a flower garden at the moment. If it is inconvenient to make it into a product directly, you can leave it alone first.
Dyes are much simpler, and they are not expensive to sell in the space. If they can dye them in colors that are not available in this country, it will be a huge profit.
Because of this idea, Su Tang asked Luo Xingchen to learn about the cloth market in the capital first. Luo Xingchen was indeed a business person. Su Tang just said yesterday that she got up to work early this morning, and she was very neat. The materials were all cut into similar small pieces so that they could be easily shown to Su Tang.
Su Tang saw that the materials in her hands were different, including silk and satin, cotton and linen, but the colors were relatively monotonous.
Today's dyes are all derived from nature, and the colors are mostly red. In addition to true red, there are also colors such as silver red and light red.
In addition to the red ones, there are yellow ones. Because some of this color is reserved for the royal family, it is not used much by the people. There is only a very light color of yellow, and materials that tend to be more tooth-yellow are more common.
Then there is the cyan series. Different shades of cyan and blue are included in this series. Finally, there are black, white and brown.
The dyeing technology at this time was still relatively traditional. It is not like the modern dye that can be divided into countless different color numbers just by red, and the contrast of light and dark can also evolve into countless differences.
"Are these the only colors?" Su Tang looked around at the fabric Luo Xingchen gave her and said.
Luo Xingchen nodded, "I have learned before that the materials used to make clothes currently vary from cotton to silk, but there are only so many colors available on the market. At most, the difference is the different shades of the materials. "
Hearing what Luo Xingchen said, Su Tang's eyes lit up and he looked at her, "Which one is the most expensive here?"
Luo Xingchen pointed at a thin gauze to Su Tang, "That should be the material of Tianshui Bisha. It is said that it is very troublesome to dye this color, and the output is very low, so one foot is close to a hundred taels, although it is not as good as Kesi. But it’s also rare for expensive ingredients.”
Luo Xingchen was cautious and knew that this was for market research, so even if the Luo family was not in the fabric business, she could clearly explain it to Su Tang if he asked.
Su Tang looked at this so-called Tianshui Bi material. It was actually a kind of gauze that was close to light blue and light green. It looked good, but Su Tang didn't think much about it. We saw a lot of this kind of thing in modern times. .
"Is this color difficult to dye?" Su Tang asked Luo Xingchen. In Su Tang's opinion, it's not difficult at all.
