Back to the era with space materials

Chapter 224 Sideline Business

"It's so beautiful, you can really think of tricks!" Jiang Yue praised without hesitation.

"That's not what I thought." Si Ningning laughed and shook his head, "But having said that, it's no problem to dye leaves or vines like this. Flower petals can actually be dyed this way, but we don't know much about it and the materials we have are limited.

The disadvantage is that the color of the petals may not be preserved as well.”

Jiang Yue nodded repeatedly and listened carefully, "How much alum do you still have? I'll try it on some old clothes when I have time. Can you even it out a little for me?"

"There are some more, they're on the table beside my bed. You can get them yourself later, just remember to wrap them up after you've taken them, so they don't leak and get everywhere in the basket."

"Hehehe, don't worry, I'll make sure to wrap it up tightly!" Jiang Yue responded with a smile, and she and Si Ningning hung up the cloth in front of the door, packed it up, and then followed the others out the door.

Si Ningning took Mo Bei's fabrics to the big table in the main room and cut them all according to size. The fabrics hanging by the door were almost dry.

After putting Jiang Yue's fabrics into the room, and seeing that it was still early to go to the pig pen, Si Ningning walked into the space with the fabrics for her own clothes and Mo Bei's.

Since there is a sewing machine, of course you have to use it. It is impossible to sew by hand anyway, and Si Ningning doesn't know how to do it. If you really want to get started, you don't know what you will sew in the end.

They are both making clothes. T-shirts and shirts have many similarities. Si Ningning thought about it early in the morning. After entering the space, he took out a men's shirt and looked at it carefully for a while. He fumbled and damaged two pages and turned over the first one.

After three pages, Si Ningning successfully drew the analytical layout.

After holding up the book and looking at the detailed analysis of the clothes drawn above, Si Ningning felt that her thoughts became clearer.

She stood the book on the corner where the sewing machine was against the wall, picked out the fabric and quickly started the sewing machine. The two-in-one manual and electric sewing machine made a "click-click" sound, and Si Ningning would turn her head and look at it from time to time.

Hand-sewn clothes and clothes made with a sewing machine can still be distinguished from the stitches, especially when overlocking. Hand-sewn clothes are usually straight stitches, while the stitches made by a sewing machine are jagged "M" shapes.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, when hemming Mo Bei's shirt, Si Ningning did not switch the hemming mode. He just used the usual mode from beginning to end. Then he turned the clothes over and put the excess fabric against the inside of the clothes.

Press it tightly and use a sewing machine to pass it to one side to prevent the fabric from being too thin and causing the seam to fall off due to insufficient seaming.

With a fierce operation, two shirts were stepped out, and the buttonholes were opened. When he was about to push the buttons, Si Ningning realized that there were no buttons.

Since there were no buttons, Si Ningning had no choice but to put away the clothes first and then tell Mo Bei that he would buy it himself when he went to town.

But halfway through folding, Si Ningning thought of something. She shook off the clothes again and took them to the bathroom to try them on one by one. When she saw that the picture in the mirror did not appear to be twisted or misaligned, she felt relieved and folded the shirts.

So I put it aside and started sewing my own T-shirts.

Having had the experience of sewing clothes several times, Si Ningning became more and more comfortable when wearing T-shirts. She completed two T-shirts in half an hour. One had a double layer of fabric with grass tattoos stitched on the chest, and the other had

The cuffs have grass rubbings on them, and a ruffle that is dense at the top and wide at the bottom is nailed around the chest.

Si Ningning put it on one after another and turned around in front of the mirror. The overall effect was pretty good. The dark underwear she wore today was not visible in the front, but a little outline could be seen in the back. The T-shirt was loose enough. If it were changed to a light color

Underwear, as long as you don't tighten your clothes deliberately, it shouldn't be visible.

After thinking about it, Si Ningning took immediate action.

She took off her clothes and found a piece of light pink underwear to test on her body, and it was confirmed that it was really not see-through. Si Ningning became more and more satisfied with the two new T-shirts she got.

"There are a lot of clothes in the space, but there are not many suitable for wearing outside... From now on, I have to rely on myself for most of the time." Si Ningning sighed with a smile and changed into the clothes he wore when entering the space.

It’s not impossible to do your own research, but it’s just a pity that I bought all kinds of down jackets when I was collecting supplies...

Thinking about it, various fluorescent down jackets and those thick and beautiful fabrics came to Si Ningning's mind...

The fabric can be sold to others, but it is not suitable to make clothes yourself. As for those fluorescent down jackets, I am thinking about making a blouse in the future, and I think they can be worn too, right?

Not only down jackets, but also cotton jackets.

Time and seasons are passing by, and we must find solutions to these problems as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to wait until the weather gets cold and we will be blind again.

Thinking about it, Si Ningning looked at the time and calculated that there was still a while before starting work. She was not in a hurry, folded the clothes and put them on the table, and Si Ningning walked to the backyard.

The gun on the steps had long been dried. Si Ningning rubbed it hard twice and was able to remove a little black scum, but there was no obvious sign of discoloration.

Si Ningning took the gun into the study, shook his head left and right, scanned it, and finally dug out a piece of leather from the leather chair corresponding to the desk and made a gun clip according to the size of the gun.

I put the gun in and tried it. I have to say that the effect was very realistic and Si Ningning was very satisfied.

As for the chair with a big hole exposed, Si Ningning put a pillow on it, and the chair was still usable.

I really don’t blame Si Ningning for being rough. The only kind of leather that can be found at present is that kind of leather. In order to improve the simulation effect, Si Ningning feels that she is willing to go all out. She can think of any idea and dare to practice any method.

The finished gun clip and the gun were placed on the coffee table in the living room. Si Ningning took out the yogurt that had been placed at the bottom of the refrigerator. He went to the kitchen and poured the frozen yogurt into a large glass bowl and mashed it. He washed half a bowl of mulberries and added the crushed mulberries.

In the crumb-like yogurt.

The process of washing the mulberries was a bit rough, causing the pulp to break and a little juice to spill out and melt into the yogurt, which looked quite tempting.

Si Ningning also felt narcissistic, thinking that if the container hadn't been too rough and crude, and it was said to be a popular summer dessert made by a Michelin chef, some people would have believed it.

After spending a long time entertaining herself, Si Ningning felt a little lost.

What is Michelin and not Michelin? Someone needs to understand it before it is presented!

Si Ningning's mood faded for a moment, until Key scooped up yogurt and mulberries and put them into his mouth. The sweet, sour and cold feeling exploded on the tip of his tongue, and Si Ningning's thoughts were suddenly brought back.

"Hiss...it's quite delicious."

It's just that the scoop was a little too big, and it was so cold that Si Ningning was shaken.

While eating, he inspected the space. The chickens in the backyard looked the same every day. The pigs, fish, and crops were all growing well. The hydrangeas that had been cut before were also alive. Si Ningning speculated that the land in the space should really have a hidden ability to enhance the survival of plants.

Function.

After finishing a bowl of small desserts, Si Ningning stretched out to make room, and conveniently put the remaining straw from the chicken nest on the steps into the space, planning to make some free time at night to make fungus bags, and then pack up and close the door.

Into the team.

A few days passed quickly. During the past few days, Si Ningning took care of the work of the production team during the day, and used straw to make mushroom bags in the space at night.

The method of making mushroom bags is also very simple. Cut the straw into small sections of eight or nine centimeters long, then soak the cut straw. Place a steaming tray in the pot for steaming and sterilization. The steaming tray will drain away the excess moisture of the straw while cooking.

During the process, the heat rises and ensures that the straw itself is moist.

After everything is handled properly, put the straw into a sterilized kitchen bag, take a few parts from the bottle in which the bacteria were cultivated in advance and put them into the bag, and finally tie the bag tightly and place it in a cool place.

.

Si Ningning did not make many mushroom bags, a total of twelve bags. Ten bags were made in the space, and two bags were made in front of everyone in his free time at the educated youth point. Of course, he was asked and explained his thoughts during the process.

and step-by-step process.

Although there are some differences in the process of making bacterial bags outside the space and in the space, Si Ningning secretly made a comparison. In the same time period, the development of both bacterial bags was very impressive, which undoubtedly made Si Ningning more sure to persuade him in the future.

Zhao Hongbing promotes the possibility of growing mushrooms.

After a few days, the fungus bag is already covered with white mycelium. If you don't find other seed piles, you can cut an opening on the side of the fungus bag and place it in a dark and cool place. Spray a little water occasionally to keep it moist, and mushrooms can grow.

However, the number of mushrooms that can be grown in this way is limited. In this day and age, making mushroom bags is not a simple matter. It is necessary to maximize the benefits as much as possible.

After Si Ningning finished working in the pig pen, he was thinking about returning to the educated youth spot. He walked around the corner of the old house in the woods and heard a busy sound of "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!"

The boys are cleaning the corner of the old house.

A large area of ​​waist-high weeds and vines was cleared away, and some rotten wood and rotten wood were also dug up and left on the side of the trail.

When Si Ningning saw those rotten wooden houses, his eyes immediately lit up.

Looking up and looking around, Si Ningning found Zhao Hongbing in the crowd who was conducting the command. Si Ningning actively said, "Captain!"

With this crisp sound, not only Zhao Hongbing turned around, but the young men all turned around like meerkats on the grassland: "It's a female educated youth!"

"Hey, it's Si Zhiqing!"

The young men whispered to each other, and just for a moment, as if some kind of ability was suddenly stimulated, the young man who just lazily pulled the bricks picked up four bricks in one go, and kept stacking them.

Two people were carrying the old beam together, and suddenly one of them pushed the other away and turned into a strong man, carrying the beam like a tiger and walking like a tiger, walking sideways and vertically to show his strength. It was just unlucky that he happened to wander in front of Zhao Hongbing.

Zhao Hongbing saw the thoughts of these brats at a glance, shot the first one, and immediately slapped the young man who was carrying the beam on the back of the head, "Shake! Shake, shake! You are going to kill me, aren't you!"

Housheng was agitated and instantly withered, "Uncle, I didn't mean that."

The young man was only focused on begging for mercy, but he forgot that there was a beam on his shoulders. When he turned around, the beam swept across him.

It was about to hit Zhao Hongbing. Not to mention Zhao Hongbing, even Si Ningning, who was gradually approaching, was startled.

Zhao Hongbing had no time to hide, and he was almost certain that he would be hit. But at this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out, and his palm blocked the beam that was about to reach the door in front of him.

Zhao Hongbing turned around and said, "Ah, Alang."

Si Ningning also breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward slowly, "Comrade Huo Lang!"

Huo Lang said "hmm" to Zhao Hongbing, during which he turned his eyes to Si Ningning, nodded slightly inaudibly, and finally told the young man who was frightened because of his mistake: "Go ahead and pay attention next time."

"...Oh, good, good!"

The young man ran away with the beam on his shoulders. Zhao Hongbing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed a few times in secret, "You are a bastard." Then he turned to Si Ningning and asked, "Si Zhiqing, what's the matter? The grass has not been cleaned up yet. There are mosquitoes in it."

There are too many, let’s go outside and talk about it.”

"It's not an important matter, just a few words, so I won't delay the captain's work." Si Ningning looked away from Huo Lang, pointed with her little finger at a few pieces of rotten wood on the side of the road, and got straight to the point, "It's just those wooden lumps.

, what does the captain plan to do with it? If it’s just going to be used as firewood, then I would like to ask the captain to give me a break."

As he said that, Si Ningning smiled sheepishly.

"Um..." Zhao Hongbing said "uh", and just as he was about to speak, Huo Lang spoke first, "For growing mushrooms?"

"Yeah." Si Ningning nodded seriously,

"Growing mushrooms? What kind of mushrooms?" Zhao Hongbing was confused, but he felt that he had grasped the key point. His eyes wandered back and forth between Si Ningning and Huo Lang, and he nodded with his index finger, "You two have something to do.

Hiding it from me?"

Huo Lang didn't say anything, but Si Ningning said, "It's not that serious."

Si Ningning first explained the advantages of the geographical environment of the third team, and then mentioned the experimental mushroom cultivation. Zhao Hongbing was not a fool, so he naturally noticed the benefits after hearing this.

With a slap in the face, Zhao Hongbing immediately made a decision, "Okay, okay! Are two enough?"

It's great to have a side job, but once it succeeds, it means that the members of the team are one step closer to a good life.

The Third Team had also planned to start a side business before. At that time, the commune gave several options, one was to raise fish and ducks, and the other was to raise sheep. No matter which of these two options, the Third Team was not suitable.

Although it is close to the river, when it rains in summer, the water will rise and flood a large area, making it impossible to keep fish.

And because the water flow in the river is relatively fast, the ducks can't stay still. As for raising sheep, the three teams are surrounded by mountains, and there are only a handful of places with real grass. The harvest can only be enough to feed the two cows on the team, so there is no way.

Where to raise sheep for food?

If Si Ningning's experiment succeeds, it will be a great achievement. If it fails, it will only be a matter of a few rotten wooden piles. And even if it fails, the rotten wooden piles will not affect the burning in the end.

As a scholar has a broad vision and quick thinking, Zhao Hongbing felt that this matter was very promising.

Seeing that there were seven or eight tree stumps lying on the roadside, Zhao Hongbing said cheerfully: "These are all for you! Ah Lang, you send Si Zhiqing back to the educated youth point!"

After temporarily capturing Huo Lang as a young man, Zhao Hongbing laughed again and said: "Si Zhiqing, if these are not enough, tell me later and I will find it for you!"
