Chapter 222 Confrontation

Si Ningning was usually very good at digging for wild vegetables, and with the presence of Golden Cherry from before, since most of the things were edible, Mo Bei misunderstood and thought that the grass picked this time was also edible.

"Then what's the use of picking this?"

"Well..." Si Ningning thought for a moment and explained, "It's for making clothes."

"Making clothes?"

"I'm making my own clothes, not yours." Si Ningning smiled and talked about his thoughts, "Although I dyed the cloth last time and the color was good, if it is a solid color, it will still feel plain. I just

I was thinking, could I use plants to print and dye patterns on the collar or cuffs of the clothes to embellish them?"

"If it works, the clothes won't be too plain and won't look garish."

Mo Bei accompanied Si Ningning and helped her pick leaves from several other plants. During the process, he asked casually: "Is this what I read in the book too?"

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded and nodded, "Yeah!"

Mo Bei looked at her "Yes, that's right" expression, and unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, his starry eyes slightly curved, and laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Ahem..." Mo Bei coughed lightly and said frankly: "The more I get along with you, the more I think you know many things. When you think about it, the only thing you don't know is weaving bamboo baskets."

Si Ningning's heart skipped a beat at first. When she heard what happened later, she raised her head and stared at Mo Bei speechlessly, "Are you praising me and are you going to hurt me?"

All this time, Mo Bei rarely saw other expressions on Si Ningning's face except for a slight smile. Now, he saw a fleeting look of pampering and anger on Si Ningning's face. He didn't know why, but it seemed like

The moment the fireworks bloomed, Mo Bei suddenly felt in a good mood.

"Of course I praise you, you are very capable." Mo Bei said truthfully.

Si Ningning rolled his eyes angrily. He originally wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Mo Bei's eyes curved into crescent arcs, his lips slightly parted and his smile clear and cheerful, Si Ningning couldn't help but raise her crescent eyebrows lightly.

stretch.

This seemed to be the first time that Mo Bei felt so comfortable and happy after going to the countryside for so long.

Forget it, since it’s rare for him not to show his paralyzed face, let’s not ruin his good mood this time!

Si Ningning swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips, exhaled softly, looked back, raised her chin and walked ahead, "Stop making trouble and go back quickly! I'm exhausted."

"Um."

Mo Bei suppressed most of his bright smile, and gradually followed Si Ningning with a slight arc on his lips.

Everyone at the educated youth spot was still eating. Si Ningning had solved the lunch problem in the town and was not hungry at all now. Out of curiosity about malted milk, he went to the kitchen to boil some hot water and make malted milk to drink.

Not to mention, this malted milk essence really surprised Si Ningning.

I opened the plastic bag and scooped two spoons into the bamboo cup. Before the boiling water was poured in, I could smell a tantalizing and pure sweet smell.

Not only did Si Ningning smell it, but as soon as she took a spoonful of it with her little spoon, Jiang Yue looked over with her nose raised, and seeing the box in Si Ningning's hand, Jiang Yue asked: "When did you buy the malted milk?"

"

"Just today."

"Today? Did you go to town?" Jiang Yue was surprised for a while.

Si Ningning nodded, curved her lips and said frankly: "I took half a day off from the captain yesterday, and I went to town to send a letter and bought it on the way today."

"So that's it." Jiang Yue nodded, took another deep breath, and sighed with envy for a while: "It smells really good... I almost forgot about this fragrance."

"Are you hungry?" Si Ningning glanced in the direction of the main room, blinked and lowered her voice slightly, "Can I give you some?"

"Forget it, it's such an expensive nutritional supplement." Jiang Yue shook her head, and finally looked at Si Ningning and added proudly, "I just sighed, don't think too much about it."

"Yeah." Si Ningning nodded in amusement.

She actually knew, but she thought it was okay to share it with friends occasionally, and it wasn't like sharing it every day.

Blowing the hot air in the cup and taking a few sips, Si Ningning discovered that the malted milk not only smelled good, but also tasted good.

Not surprisingly, she will probably repurchase it after she finishes drinking it.

After drinking the malted milk, Si Ningning went out to wash the quilt. When she returned to the room, she put the malted milk into the rattan box and took out the cut cloth from the box.

Si Ningning took out all the flowers and plants picked on the road and placed them on the table. Si Ningning found the fabric that corresponded to the sleeves, spread it out flatly and found the position of the cuffs. He picked up the thin vines and the other two types of leaves, and placed them on the edge of the fabric in the shape he wanted.

shape pattern, and then lay the other sleeve fabric flat.

Si Ningning turned her head left and right, looking for something handy to draw out the colors in the plants. Jiang Yue thought she was going to sew clothes, so she took out the fabric that Song Shuhan had entrusted to her, thinking that she and Si Ningning could make it together and chat about it.

.

Seeing Si Ningning's series of actions, Jiang Yue was at a loss. She approached Si Ningning with the cloth in her arms, "What are you doing? Why are you putting grass in the cloth?"

Si Ningning briefly talked about the principles of dyeing and her own thoughts, and Jiang Yue immediately expressed her position: "Take me one, take me one!"

Si Ningning sighed helplessly, "This is my first time. I don't know the specific effect yet. Why don't you wait until I finish it and see the effect before making a decision?"

"Isn't your 'first time' enough?" Jiang Yue rolled her eyes and ran back to the bed to take out the bright yellow fabric she planned to make for clothes. Then she ran back to Si Ningning and said with a smile.

: "I don't care, I will dye it with you!"

Si Ningning felt a little funny when she saw that she acted like a willful little girl.

Seeing Jiang Yue's firm attitude, Si Ningning had no choice but to nod in agreement, "Did you see the steps just now? It depends on how you like it. Anyway, just follow my steps."

"Okay!" Jiang Yue nodded while pecking at the rice.

"You do it first, I'll go out and find something."

"Um!"

Not finding anything suitable to use as a small hammer, Si Ningning took two clean bamboo cups, one for himself and one to Jiang Yue.

After Jiang Yue followed suit and laid out the plant leaves and cloth, Si Ningning started to gently tap the part of the cloth covered with leaves with the bottom of the cup, "If you can't find a hammer, use this instead. When you knock,

Be careful not to move the blades at the bottom."

"Also, in order to achieve good and consistent coloring, we must ensure that every part of the blade is struck."

Jiang Yuefei nodded in understanding, sat on the edge of the bed, leaned close to the table, and started tapping seriously.

Si Ningning smiled and continued to explain: "For Tuoran, this step is related to the final result, so it is also the most difficult step and the one that requires the most attention."

Jiang Yue nodded and said with emotion: "My mother used to say that you should study more and get ahead in life. I don't deny this view, but I'm not completely convinced."

"Three hundred and sixty, you will be the number one scholar. As long as you concentrate on whatever you do, you will get ahead one day. But now it seems that what the elders said is still good."

Jiang Yue raised her head and looked at Si Ningning, "I am the kind of person who is not good at reading. Look at you, you are different. You are good at reading, you know everything, and you can do everything."

Si Ningning didn't know how to answer this question, so she simply laughed twice and said nothing.

What the elders said was good, but Jiang Yue's words were also good.

Reading is not the only way out in this world, but if you can read, you still have to read.

As for what Jiang Yue said about ‘she knows everything’.

Si Ningning didn't even know how to respond.

After all, the coursework of later generations involves a wide range of knowledge. Many aspects of knowledge are not only written in books and taught by professors, but also on some entertainment apps, with specialized bloggers breaking down the details and operating demonstrations...

Even if you are not interested, you will always watch a few videos when you are bored, so the operation will definitely be better than those of Jiang Yue and others who don't understand it at all.

The regular "tuk-tuk" tapping sound in the room soon attracted Xu Shuhua and Song Xiaoyun. They learned that Si Ningning had tinkered with a new dyeing method. One was surprised, and the other took out his own cloth and also

Want to participate.

The part of the blade held between Si Ningning's sleeves has been beaten almost completely, and now he is rolling it horizontally with the bamboo cup to draw out the remaining color in the blade as much as possible.

Seeing that Song Xiaoyun brought the fabric to participate, Si Ningning said awkwardly: "Xiaoyun, the color of your fabric is too dark. If you dye it, the plant color will not be able to cover the background color of the fabric."

When they first dyed cloth, Xu Shuhua and Song Xiaoyun both valued "stain resistance", so they chose to dye the cloth in dark brown. The pigments in the plants were all light green and light yellow, which could not be pressed against such a dark background.

color?

Song Xiaoyun didn't understand this either, but she still asked unwillingly: "Is there no other way?"

"It's really not possible." Si Ningning was speechless and nodded.

The atmosphere is a bit awkward.

"The leaves and weeds are light in color and will definitely not be printed on. However, dark and light colors each have their own advantages. We have already dyed the dark colors. Now we just need to be stain-resistant. Don't embarrass Ning Ning." Xu Shuhua

Haha to lighten the atmosphere, "Xiaoyun, if you really like what Ning Ning is dyeing now, you can wait until next time! Next time, I will buy cloth to make clothes. Then I will ask Ning Ning to teach you, or I can directly help you with it.

, right Ning Ning!"

Xu Shuhua asked Si Ningning.

Si Ningning nodded.

"Okay." Song Xiaoyun sighed in disappointment.

Although what Xu Shuhua said makes sense, the fabric I just bought will take at least two or three years to make into clothes. The next time I make new clothes, it will be one or two years later.

Song Xiaoyun still has some money in her hand, but she is reluctant to buy more fabrics.

Maybe it can't be said that she is reluctant, but based on the concept of frugality, Song Xiaoyun feels that it is too extravagant.

Although she understood the truth, as she watched the dyeing effects on Si Ningning and Jiang Yue's fabrics gradually appear and become more and more exquisite, Song Xiaoyun felt more and more regretful in her heart.

"Alas..." Song Xiaoyun couldn't control herself for a moment and sighed.

Jiang Yue turned her head and looked at her, "Don't sigh! Why don't you hurry up and learn more? Once you learn the skills, what do you want to do later!"

This makes perfect sense.

Song Xiaoyun instantly smiled and stood happily close to Si Ningning's table, carefully observing every step of Si Ningning's operations.

Si Ningning was not stingy and saw that they were all interested, so during the operation, he would share with them some relevant knowledge he knew.

Female educated youths were chatting in the room, which was very lively. Outside, on the threshold, Mo Bei was fumbling to weave a net bag. Li Lingyuan sat cross-legged next to him, clumsily splitting bamboo strips with an old hatchet according to Mo Bei's instructions.

"Is this okay?"

"After it's a little bit, use the blade of a hatchet to scrape it."

"Oh, okay!"

Mo Bei looked away from Li Lingyuan who was very busy. He was just concentrating on knitting a net bag when his eyes suddenly darkened and a pair of men's legs appeared in his field of vision.

Looking up along the broad legs of the foggy blue trousers that had turned white, Mo Bei saw, as expected, the man's handsome face as sharp as a knife.

Mo Bei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and exhaled from his nose impatiently, "Is something wrong?"

"Uh-huh." Huo Lang put the big drawer and bamboo basket on the steps. Compared to Mo Bei's impatient aloofness, he smiled and said, "Look for Si Zhiqing."

When he saw the wooden drawer, Mo Bei's expression didn't change, but when he saw the bamboo fungus rolling out of the bamboo basket, Mo Bei frowned fiercely and squinted at Huo Lang in disbelief.

This man... is really cunning.

After sending out flowers, it wasn't enough. Now I even took over the task of picking bamboo fungus.

As if he was threatened, Mo Beiling pursed his lips tightly.

And when Huo Lang saw the half-finished net bag in Mo Bei's hand, as well as the bamboo strips and bamboo skins scattered on the ground at the door, he probably understood why Si Ningning didn't go to him in the past two days. His thin lips curled up slightly.

The smile gradually faded, and the gentle peach blossom eyes suddenly became sharp, looking down at Mo Bei.

Brat, don't you like it?

If you don’t like it, why should you pay attention now?

The two men's eyes met, and there seemed to be lightning flashes between them.

Li Lingyuan, who witnessed this scene from the side, looked like a pitiful and helpless girl, throwing away the hatchet, folding his arms and trembling with his shoulders.

Knocking on her grandma, so scary!

Mo Bei and Huo Lang just stared at each other, with no intention of giving in. In the end, Li Lingyuan couldn't bear it any longer, so he tilted his head and called for reinforcements, "Si Zhiqing, someone is looking for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Bei turned around and glared.

Li Lingyuan smiled as if begging for mercy, moved the hatchet towards Mo Bei's leg, and ran away.

Si Ningning heard the movement in the room and said "Come here", and then said to the girls around her: "Top dyeing and solid coloring are generally just these things. Think carefully about what I just said and wrote. Don't wait until later.

I'll take the time to write another one."

After saying that, he got up and went out.

When she saw Huo Lang outside the door, Si Ningning's steps quickened, "Huo Lang...comrade."

Later, she realized that there were other people at the educated youth spot, and Si Ningning quickly added the word "comrade" after Huo Lang's name.

Si Ningning saw the wooden drawer standing between Huo Lang and Mo Bei at a glance. Without Huo Lang's explanation, she squatted in front of the wooden drawer and looked up and down with her hands on the drawer, "Has it been done so quickly? I wonder why?

You have to wait two days."

"It doesn't take much effort to nail a few wooden boards together." Huo Lang picked up the bamboo basket and handed it to Si Ningning. "If it hadn't been busy the past few days, I should have sent it here long ago."
