Mother Cheng held the piece of red cloth with trembling excitement, looking like a blazing fire in the setting sun.
Mrs. Zhao examined the fabric and her face lit up with pleasant surprise. "This color... is no worse than what they sell at the draper's."
"It's just a pity that the color is uneven. It must be because the fabric wasn't washed thoroughly enough, and the residual oils and impurities caused the dye to be absorbed unevenly," Cheng Nuo said, looking at the cloth that was blotched with red and white. "We'll try with newly bought white cotton cloth this time, use warm water, and make sure the dye is fully dissolved when stirring."
