Chapter 77: Not much alum
"What about these skins? Is it dried and stored? Maizi looked at the yard with a large pile of animal skins spread out to dry. She doesn't know how to be a nitty, but she has a memory of going to the neighbor's house and seeing it occasionally, and it's all very vague impressions.
"Girl, the sun is too hot at noon, it's time to go back to the room to take a nap" Daddy Mai looked at the little girl's skin, and then raised his arm to take a look, feeling as if his arm was a little whiter.
"Dad, won't you take a nap?" Maizi picked up a piece of white skin, which looked fluffy, and it felt bad when he touched it in his hand, and it smelled bad.
"Dad, I'm not used to taking a nap now" Daddy Mai squatted down and silently watched the girl turn over and over the animal skin in her hand.
"Dad, do you know alum?" Maizi doesn't know if there is such a thing in this world.
"Huh?" Papa Mai raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?" ”
"It's just a white crystal that melts when you put it in water... It's not melting... It's just putting it in the sewage to make the water clean," Maizi said eagerly as he looked at Daddy Mai.
"Oh~" Daddy Mai nodded, and then continued to squat there and look at Maizi.
……
"Daddy?" Maizi was dumbfounded, looking at Daddy Mai's expression, there was such a thing, maybe it wasn't called 'alum', or it had another name.
"En" Daddy Mai nodded and continued to squat there.
"Dad, do you know that kind of thing?" Maizi asked with a wink. For Mao Mai's father doesn't seem to be on the same channel as her?
"I know, there are many kinds of white crystals that can purify water" Dad Mai nodded affirmatively, it's good to be with his daughter, I really don't want to go back to prison!
“…”
Maizi waited for a long time and didn't see Daddy Mai have the following, because Daddy Maomai knew but didn't give it to her? Don't you see people using it urgently? Although it doesn't know how to nitrate, you can still test it.
"Dad, I want those white crystals," Maizi said weakly, wiping the sweat from her forehead by the way.
"Oh, Daddy is looking for you, your grandfather has it in the warehouse" Daddy Mai then stood up and went to the room to find something for Maizi.
“… Dad, your reflex arc is too long," Maizi muttered as she looked at Daddy Mai's back.
"Soak it first? Or do you want to cut off the meat from the skin first? Maizi looked at the piles of skin under her feet, and her head ached! How long does it take to manually cut the meat with so many skins?
"Forget it, let's take a piece and try it first" Maizi looked at the skins regretfully, and threw them away, she felt distressed. If you don't throw it away, she will find it troublesome again.
The key is that she doesn't know how to nit her skin, but she has seen how others deal with it, and it looks very simple, but when she gets started herself, she feels that she has nowhere to start.
Mai Zi neatly moved out the tools she could think of, "Let's try chopping meat first." ”
"Girl, where do you put it?" Papa Mai came out with a small box.
"Why is this still purple?" Maizi looked at the little white crystals, and there was one of the most conspicuous purple ones.
"This can also purify water?" Daddy Mai said while holding the small box. It's good to be with his family every day, and although he is confused by a lot of things he does, he still feels good and happy to see his little daughter so able to toss.
"Oh, Dad, which kind of white crystals can be left in the water and there can be residue under the water?" Maizi looked at these white crystals and felt that they were all very similar to alum.
"Residue?" Papa Mai put down the box and picked out three pieces and set them aside.
"Dad, can these three pieces be heated? Will it melt away? Maizi touched the white crystals that had been picked out, and she couldn't tell which one was alum with the naked eye.
"It depends on how hot it is?" Daddy Mai thought for a moment.
"Ordinary heating," Maizi said quickly. Because my grandmother often soaked her feet in alum water, she would sometimes soak them.
"This piece can be heated, and the remaining two ordinary heating will not change," Daddy Mai picked out a piece and handed it to Maizi.
"How is this at home?" Maizi looked at the alum that was only the size of her fist, this star was not enough to handle so many skins.
"Not much" Daddy Mai looked at this Nirvana stone, remembering that he had just gone to the warehouse and only had 2 Nirvana stones, and felt that this thing was used less, and he rarely went to store it specifically.
"It's okay" Maizi agreed excitedly, no matter how much he has anyway, it's okay to have alum.
"Dad, you cut off the meat from this skin," Maizi instructed Mai's father to help her with the work, and said with a natural expression.
"Okay" Daddy Mai nodded directly, and moved his hands and feet quickly. He felt that there were only two days left before he was separated from his family, and he didn't want to refuse any request from his daughter, no matter how unreasonable it was!
"Dad still soak in the water first and then chop" Maizi watched Mai's father just start to cut down with a knife and slip directly, and then the second knife went down and the skin was cut directly, it seems that it is a little dry after some time to dry, and it is not easy to cut.
Dad Mai nodded, he felt that the past few days with his daughter were his happiest time, and he had missed too much before.
……
"Dad will cut these first, and put the others there first" Maizi looked at the miserable 3 skins, and calmly felt that this was a test, and the quality was not good, as long as the final shipment was softer and smoother.
She picked up the alum and smashed it directly, then put it in the bucket and stirred it, and saw that it had melted and the crystals were gone, so she stopped.
"Dad, you can put the skin, and then move a stone to press on it" Maizi watched Mai's father put all the skins into the water, and he didn't know if he put too much or too little on this alum?
It seems that the bubble skin will be soaked for a long time, right? Maizi pursed her lips and went back to her room.
"How do you dye this evenly?" The wheat turned out a lump of grass-green cloth, which can be worn at home, but it is absolutely embarrassing to wear it outside.
"Forget it, let's make a dress for Xiao Baozi first" Maizi glanced at the sleeping Xiao Baozi, thinking that Xiao Baozi had wet his pants again this morning, although there are also two pants, but running with a bare ass will happen often.
"Make a bib this time," Maizi cut as she had imagined. Looking at the cloth in his hand closely, he found that the color of the lump was really unpleasant, and it looked a little visible from a distance, so I will find a way to do it later.
"Girl, what are you messing up again?" Grandma Mai came in with a small bun in her hand and bright yellow pants.
"Make another pair of pants for my brother," Maizi said, glancing up at Grandma Mai.
"Be bigger, this kid grows up fast" Grandma Mai gently picked up the little bun and went to the bathroom.
"No, we have a lot of cloth now," Maizi thought. She felt that the treatment of Xiao Baozi was really far from the treatment of those children she had seen in her previous life.
Which children's toys are not a lot, let alone clothes, especially for only children, which are simply incomparable.
"In the future, I will make more clothes for my brother and change them every day," Maizi said to the bathroom.
"Grandpa helped me buy some colored threads, I have a use," Mai Zixin said warmly.
"Okay" Grandpa Mai clicked on the star network to search, and I don't know if there is a color line in the nearest living star here?
"Good thing, well... Okay, it's half a year later," Grandpa Mai looked at the metal parts processing list in his hand, and he didn't take the order after doing this time.
"What?!" Maizi jumped up directly, she heard it wrong! Half? She's going to complain! Her longest online shopping was a 7-day delay, and she felt that the 7 days were too long.
"'Smack!' , Grandpa, let's change one, it took half a year to arrive, are they snails? Maizi slapped the table directly.
"The nearest resident star to us will take half a year's star voyage time, this is the fastest" Grandpa Mai tugged at the corners of his mouth, he felt that his little granddaughter was violent, and he didn't know if her little hand hurt if it hurt?
(⊙o⊙)!!!
"The fastest?" Maizi felt as if his head had been braked suddenly, and he slipped out a long way with a 'bang'.
It turned out that the place she came to was like the deep mountains in her hometown, and the 108,000 miles away from those big cities, where the couriers did not come, only the hard-working postman entered the mountain once a month.
Half? The daylilies have all changed, not to mention whether it is cold or not.
