Back to the era with space materials

Chapter 215 Are my requests too much?

To be honest, Xu Shuhua felt that even if she was willing to help, Mo Bei might not like her.

"Ah..." Si Ningning stuttered, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.

She didn't know where the confidence came from. She always thought that Xu Shuhua was good at this, but she didn't expect this result.

Mo Bei kept looking at Si Ningning, but compared to just now, his sharp eyebrows wrinkled slightly, as if he was aware of Si Ningning's resistance.

The atmosphere was tense, neither Mo Bei nor Si Ningning said anything. At this moment, Song Xiaoyun came into the room to put the lunch boxes. Xu Shuhua was ready to be the peacemaker, so she called out to Song Xiaoyun, wanting Song Xiaoyun to take over the matter, and then quickly turned the page.

Unexpectedly, Song Xiaoyun was quite happy at first, but when she heard that she was making clothes for Mo Bei, her neck suddenly relaxed and her eyes turned to Li Lingyuan, "I, I'd better make them for Li Lingyuan!"

After being glared at by Mo Bei before, in Song Xiaoyun's mind, Mo Bei became a wolf-like figure, and she was the only one who was willing to have a relationship with Mo Bei.

Mo Bei has always been regarded as an outstanding being since he was a child. Now that he is being pushed around, he suddenly feels like he is being disliked. At the same time, he also feels a little embarrassed about his face.

Mo Bei's eyebrows frowned even more tightly, his lips pursed, and his gaze that had been staring at Si Ningning slowly lowered in despair.

The atmosphere is even more awkward than before!

It was definitely not Si Ningning's intention to make Mo Bei embarrassed and unable to come off stage. She refused just now because of the aspect of making clothes, which she had just started to study.

This time, you’re doing an experiment on yourself, so why bother to trick others?

But in this situation, if she doesn't take a stand, it won't be justified.

Song Shuhan was always thoughtful, and when he saw Mo Bei was in embarrassment, he stepped out with his left leg and was just about to slap him and put the matter out of the way. However, before he could stop, Si Ningning, who was refusing at the beginning, suddenly changed his tone and said, "I, I

I’m really not good at it, but if you don’t mind, I can give it a try. I’ll make you one outfit first, and if you think it’s okay, I’ll make you another one, okay?”

"Okay." Mo Bei lowered his head and raised it again, his eyes were cool, and it seemed that his mood had improved in a short time.

Song Shuhan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled knowingly, retracted his legs, rolled up the cloth in his hand, and asked in a different voice: "Si Zhiqing, what color do you dye the cloth? If it's suitable, can you take us with you?"

"Okay." Si Ningning smiled, went back to the room, locked the cloth into the rattan box, and took out the cloth that had been cut to make clothes, "There are two mordant materials, if you want to dye them, you can dye them

Brown is gray."

"That's okay. The color is too plain now and it won't stand up to stains."

While talking, Song Shuhan and others followed Si Ningning out of the door.

The pottery basin on the small stove in front of the door was bubbling, and the color of the pomegranate peel had also boiled out. Now the water in the basin was a translucent caramel color, a bit like cola in the sun.

Yesterday, Mo Bei and the others were chopping bamboo in front of the door. There were many broken bamboo branches at the door. They were now scattered around to dry, intending to use them as firewood after drying.

Si Ningning randomly picked up a side branch of bamboo, shook off the dust and stirred it in the pot, "The material on hand is dyed in two colors, one is bright yellow, which is the color of the tips of the tender grass that just pokes its head in the spring, and the other

One of them is the brown color of tree bark, what kind of dye do you want?"

Talking about playing, Sinning Ning paused, and then added: "Normally, there are two types of dyes, but it's hard to say whether they can be dyed."

"I want to dye it brown."

"Me too."

"Me too!"

"I dyed it yellow!"

The group of educated youth expressed their stance neatly. Si Ningning nodded, commandeered two more washbasins, picked out the pomegranate peels from the pottery basin, and then divided the boiled pomegranate dye solution into two parts, adding green vitriol to one part.

Soap alum), add alum to the other part.

After the alum in the basins on both sides was stirred evenly, the color of the dye solution also changed. The dye solution with green alum became darker, a bit black-gray, while the dye solution with alum added showed a light yellow color, a bit like honey.

Currently, the only one who wanted to dye yellow and soak the cloth in water was Jiang Yue. Si Ningning picked out Jiang Yue's cloth first, wring out the water, shook it out, and put it as smoothly as possible into the alum basin.

Soak to avoid multiple marks appearing on the fabric after dyeing.

Then he put Song Xiaoyun and Xu Shuhua's fabrics into the basin of green alum in the same manner. Si Ningning turned around and took the fabrics from Song Shuhan and the others' hands, and put her share into the basin of clean water to soak, and waited for 5 to 10 minutes.

, you can put it into the dye solution for dyeing.

The small stove was set up in the middle of the opening in front of the door, with her back facing the midday sun for a long time. Si Ningning had a layer of sweat on her body. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and used her palms as a fan. She got up and walked to the door to cool down.

Sit down on the steps.

Jiang Yue tilted her head and blinked, "This, is this the end?"

Xu Shuhua and others also looked confused, all looking at Si Ningning, waiting for Si Ningning to answer their confusion.

Si Ningningying's white face was flushed by the sun. She spread her hands and smiled helplessly: "How can anything happen so fast? Leave the rest to time."

Jiang Yue looked wilted and sat down next to her in frustration, "Then, when the results come out in the afternoon, wouldn't I be able to witness it as soon as possible?"

"That's not necessarily the case. You should eat first, and maybe you can still see him when you get up for your lunch break before work ends." Si Ningning said.

It depends on the coloring situation. If the coloring is not satisfactory, you will have to re-dye it, and maybe dye it a third or fourth time. In that case, the results may not be available this afternoon.

Jiang Yue nodded while pecking at the rice.

After carrying the three basins to a cool place on the steps, Jiang Yue squatted on the steps, holding the potatoes that had been steamed in the morning and eating them. In addition to feeding the rabbits, she also took on the additional job of guarding the basins.

Si Ningning shook her head in amusement.

The other educated youths also went to eat. Si Ningning ate early and didn't want to take a nap. After transferring the cloth in the water to the dye solution and soaking it, he took the old hatchet from the educated youth to the back of the house and chopped a root.

Maozhu dragged him back.

The fish and shrimps in the space are growing well, and Si Ningning is thinking about making baskets for small fish and shrimps and a net bag for catching fish.

This kind of thing usually troubles Huo Lang, but Huo Lang is still entrusted with the task of carving small objects for her. In addition, Huo Lang must be busy with his own affairs and cannot be on call for her 24 hours a day.

, Si Ningning was too embarrassed to continue causing trouble, so she decided to try to make it up herself this time.

Just do it if you think of it.

Si Ningning neatly cut off the side branches of the bamboo, went into the house and touched the saw blade he bought before, sawing the bamboo into sections about two meters long, and sawed two sections.

After sawing the bamboo joints, the next step was to split the bamboo strips. Si Ningning had no experience and had never seen others do it before, so she did it step by step based on feeling.

The hatchet first split the bamboo into two, and then repeated the splitting into two until the bamboo was split into finger-width bamboo strips. Si Ningning gathered the bamboo strips together and carried them to a cool place on the eaves.

Si Ningning also sat in the shade, picked up the bamboo strips and split them in two horizontally to create thin and flexible bamboo strips, which would be more conducive to subsequent weaving work.

After the two bamboo strips were successfully connected, Si Ningning's frowning eyebrows relaxed slightly, but not twenty seconds after he took a breath, Si Ningning started to hiss.

The edges of the newly chopped bamboo strips were extremely sharp. In order to cut thinner bamboo strips, Si Ningning kept holding the bamboo strips with her left hand. When she used force with the hatchet just now, she also subconsciously exerted force with her hand. In that moment, her left hand became bigger.

A one centimeter cut was instantly made on the inside of the thumb. The wound was very deep, and blood gushes out and soon drips to the ground.

Si Ningning was shocked. She originally thought it was just a pain, but she didn't expect so much blood to come out.

At that moment, he couldn't think of anything else, so he put down the hatchet, put his thumb between his lips, sucked it, and ran to the well.

Mo Bei didn't go to take a nap. While Si Ningning was sitting on the threshold working, he was sitting in the main room, tilting his head and chin, watching.

Si Ningning suddenly ran away, and Mo Bei felt strange. When he got up and walked to the door, he saw a few drops of bright red blood on the ground, and Mo Bei realized what happened.

Mo Bei frowned slightly and followed him to the well. Si Ningning was holding the handle of the bucket and pouring water out to wash the wound.

Mo Bei didn't want to get too close, so he stood on the small ramp toward the entrance of the Educated Youth Point, lowered his voice and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"well?"

The sudden sound made Si Ningning slightly startled. She looked up and saw Mo Beili standing in the gap between the leaves and shadows, looking at her.

"I originally wanted to make something up, haha... I kind of overestimated myself."

Si Ningning laughed twice, lowered her head and continued to wash the wound, with a somewhat self-amused mockery in her tone.

Mo Bei went over to get another bucket of water for Si Ningning, "If it's made of bamboo, maybe I can."

The thumb basically stopped bleeding. Si Ningning was worried that the bamboo just now was too dirty and there would be bacteria, dirt and other residues in the wound, so she pinched both sides of the wound and squeezed it again. When she heard Mo Bei speak, she looked up at Mo Bei curiously.

Bei glanced at it, "Have you made it up?"

"No." Mo Bei shook his head, and then said: "But, I think it shouldn't be difficult."

"Well... let's give it a try?" Si Ningning thought about it. She might not be able to do this. If she didn't go to Huo Lang, she would probably go to her uncle in the team for help. If Mo Bei knew how to do it, she wouldn't have to.

He ran towards the team.

Standing up with wet hands, Si Ningning thought of something as she walked back. She tilted her head and whispered to Mo Bei, emphasizing: "Let's just give it a try. If it doesn't work, stop! You can't compete with yourself, Bamboo Plate."

The paddler’s hand hurts a lot.”

"Okay." Mo Bei nodded, raised his eyebrows slightly, and raised his starry eyes to meet Si Ningning's eyes, who turned his head, "Are you in pain?"

"Ah? Yes, it's okay!"

Si Ningning stuttered. She said that just because she was worried that Mo Bei would take her back. As for the question of whether it hurts or not, it was quite painful when it was scratched just now, and now it has basically recovered.

Son.

The two of them walked back side by side, and Mo Bei asked again: "Do you still have iodine? Wipe the wound. It's hot in summer, and the wound may become inflamed if not treated carefully."

Si Ningning lowered her head and nodded, "I know, I'll apply it soon."

While she was talking, she glanced at Mo Bei quietly.

Mo Bei had been paying attention to Si Ningning, and naturally noticed her little moves, and he asked smoothly: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Si Ningning laughed and shook his head. Then he bent his eyes and smiled, and said frankly: "I found that you have changed a lot during the time you went to the countryside."

"Change?" Mo Bei took a deep breath and was a little unresponsive.

"I used to think that you talked less and were not very approachable, but if I look at it now..." The moment he stepped onto the steps and crossed the threshold, Si Ningning chuckled and did not continue.

Mo Bei was stunned for a moment. For a brief moment, he felt as if he had grasped some kind of message, but it seemed that he had not grasped it firmly, and he only vaguely understood some of it.

Mo Bei wanted to question Si Ningning in depth, but Si Ningning had already entered the room. When she came out of the room again, she already had a small aluminum box and a small dark green bottle in her hands. She sat down at the table in two steps.

Start cleaning the thumb wound.

It was no longer appropriate for Mo Bei to ask again.

"well……"

Mo Bei sighed lightly and could only temporarily withdraw his thoughts. He sat where Si Ningning was sitting before and picked up the hatchet to chop the bamboo strips.

The small aluminum box that Si Ningning took out was actually made of wet and dry alcohol cotton, and the small dark green bottle was made of iodine. She tore off the original plastic-textured paper film with the ingredients labeled, and in this way, from

From the outside, it looks like a random small plastic bottle used to hold iodine.

Si Ningning had just dipped a dry cotton ball in iodine to disinfect the wound. When she heard Mo Bei sigh, she looked over and saw that Mo Bei had already begun to chop the bamboo strips.

"Don't be in a hurry, just wait for me." Si Ningning said anxiously.

After wiping the wound twice and tightening the cap of the iodine bottle, Si Ningning squatted next to Mo Bei, picked up a bamboo stick with his thumb and explained, "This kind of edge is very sharp, you have to be careful."

"Okay." Mo Bei nodded in agreement.

Si Ningning put the iodine and alcohol cotton on the table and confiscated them, just to prepare for unexpected situations. However, the bamboo sticks that were not very obedient in her hands were taken care of by Mo Bei.

"You can do it!" Si Ningning praised, feeling quite surprised.

In fact, neither Si Ningning nor Mo Bei had ever done such things as splitting bamboo strips and making baskets. The bamboo strips they split one after another were considered semi-finished products at best, not qualified bamboo strips at all. But there was nothing they could do.

He was a stupid young man, looking at the half-finished bamboo strips that he had chopped out.

After splitting the bamboo strips, Mo Bei said: "I remember that you usually carry a basket on your back, can you bring it here to take a look?"

"Okay." Si Ningning hurried to get it.

Finally, he handed the bamboo basket to Mo Bei's hand. Si Ningning sat beside Mo Bei with his hands on his knees and began to explain his thoughts: "I want to make a net bag that can catch things, um... I also want a small one."

You know that bamboo basket for fish and shrimps, the entrance is shaped like a cone like a hourglass? Small fish and shrimps can go in, but they can't get out."

After talking a lot, Si Ningning rested her chin on her knees and looked at Mo Bei sideways, "Are my requests too much? This is your first time making it up."
