Chapter 205: Dyeing Cloth with Grape Skins
Coming out of the delicious building, Liu Paner went to Gu's house to greet Mrs. Gu as usual.
This time, I brought fresh meat and pickle baked cakes, which were crispy on the outside, and pickles and fresh meat on the inside, with a crispy taste that left a fragrant taste.
The Gu family is rich and rich, even if Liu Paner spends a lot of money to buy gifts, she will not be looked at by the Gu family.
In this case, Liu Paner spends her mind every time she comes to the door, making something novel and giving Mrs. Gu a taste.
Such a move was right in Mrs. Gu's mind.
Old Madam Gu lacked nothing, but what she lacked was that others were attentive to her.
At this time, as soon as Liu Pan'er came in, the porter greeted her, "Mrs. Drey, please, the old lady said, as long as Mrs. Dre comes over, there is no need to report, just greet her." β
This is a great trust and privilege, and only guests with excellent relationships can be treated like this.
Liu Pan'er looked surprised and smiled, "Thank you for the old lady's kindness and hard work." β
Liu Paner, under the leadership of the gatehouse, went to the main courtyard together.
Tian Xing saw Liu Pan'er and greeted her with a smile, "The old lady just talked about Mrs., and you arrived." Let the slave carry this box. Smelling the fragrance, I must have made food for our old lady again. β
Liu Pan'er chuckled and handed it to Tianxing, "I won't know anything else, so I'll think of something to eat to honor the old lady." β
Following Tianxing in, Liu Paner saw that the old lady had lost some weight, but her spirit was better.
Old Mrs. Gu was very happy when she saw Liu Pan'er, this woman, looking at it, was festive and energetic, "Pan'er, quickly open the box and let me taste what it tastes like." β
Recently, I have reduced the amount of food I eat, especially for dinner, and I drink a little oil-free vegetable soup. Although the chef is very good and she eats well, it is not as enjoyable as before.
However, my body is a lot more relaxed, and I will not be out of breath after walking around the garden.
People, you still have to move.
Tian Xing has already taken out the pickled vegetables and fresh meat pancakes in the box, about half the size of an egg, round, and roasted golden and crispy on top, and the fragrance is incomparably fresh.
Old Madam Gu directly took one and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and tasted it.
She is old, and her teeth can't eat hard things, but this pickled fresh meat roast cake is extremely crispy, and it can be crushed only by biting lightly.
The brown and crispy crust on the outside and the pickles on the inside form an indescribable texture and aroma, and the taste is on the heavy side, especially suitable for Mrs. Gu's taste.
After Mrs. Gu ate two pieces, she stopped eating, stared at the baked cakes, and said to Tianxing: "Put it for me, don't get damp and soft, I'll eat it tomorrow." β
Liu Pan'er nodded and praised, "What the old lady said is that this thing has a lot of oil and salt, and it is indeed not suitable to eat more." β
Old Madam Gu nodded, "Remember, you can't be greedy." β
Liu Paner and Mrs. Gu had endless topics to talk about, and they felt a little late to see each other.
This old lady Gu is not an uninformed lady of the back house, she once followed Old Lady Gu to be an official in many places in Dazhou, and she understands the customs and customs of various places.
Liu Paner is also well-informed and can always pick up the conversation.
Mrs. Gu was very happy, the content of her conversation with Liu Paner was all over the world. It's no longer a matter of chatting with other ladies in the back house and saying that whose daughter-in-law can't give birth to a son, whose daughter has found a good son-in-law, and the family can be bareΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Liu Paner also learned more about the customs of Da Zhou from Mrs. Gu's conversation.
In the future, if she has the opportunity, she also wants to look around and enjoy the mountains and rivers.
Without disturbing Mrs. Gu's rest, Liu Paner said goodbye and left.
Bought a lot of dyes and took them home together to prepare for her dyeing business.
When she got home, her sister-in-law was checking the fabric with the coachman of the cloth village.
Liu Paner followed to check that it was the batch she had marked and had not been replaced.
The coachman smiled, "Our Caijia Buzhuang is genuine, Tong Su is not bullied, and it will not be shoddy." β
Liu Pan'er smiled and nodded, "It is precisely because of the good reputation of Caijia Buzhuang that I came to buy it." However, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver, of course, to check carefully. If you wait for you to leave, something goes wrong, you won't admit it! β
The coachman smiled, "Madame has a point, can you check it quickly?" If I slow down, I might not be able to go back until the gates are closed. β
Liu Pan'er smiled, "Okay, I'll check it myself this time, there are a lot of people, hurry up." The next time you make a delivery, don't ink on the road and don't leave too late. You won't be able to go back to the city then, don't blame me for not reminding you. β
The coachman smiled and nodded, "Madam, what you have taught me is that I have written it down." β
After careful inspection, Liu Paner got the receipt and paid the silver.
The coachman drove the carriage and left quickly.
Liu covered his mouth and smiled, "Brother and sister, don't worry, I will carefully check the goods when I receive them in the future." These white cloths have been bought, have you bought the dye? If I don't buy it, I'll make it myself. β
Hearing this, Liu Pan'er was surprised and looked at Liu in confusion, "Sister-in-law, do you still make your own dyes?" β
Li Fang leaned over and smiled, "Third aunt, not only my mother can do it, but I will also do it." We have raw materials at home, and when we mash them with grape skins, we have purple color. Just dye the color with grape skins and wash it a few times before it falls off. β
Liu Paner suddenly realized that she had seen a short video blogger dyeing grape skin before, and if a stabilizing curing agent was added, it might not fade.
"It just so happens that I have a way to fix the color, Ah Fang, you go and pick grapes, give you a cotton cloth, you are responsible for dyeing purple, and I will use what I have figured out. If it doesn't fade, the cloth will be given to you. Liu Pan'er smiled, "When the time comes, you can make a lot of clothes out of these cloths." β
When Li Fang heard this, her eyes lit up and she smiled, "Thank you, third aunt, I'll get it." β
Sister Mao'er and others also came to help and moved the fabric to the house on the edge of the courtyard of the dyeing workshop.
Inside, there are two wooden shelves with neatly made fabrics.
Li Fang took Li Li and Li Rong to pick grapes, wash grapes, and then everyone began to eat grapes. After the grape skins are cleaned, they are placed in a stone spoon, beaten with a stone pestle to break them into pieces, and filtered with gauze to obtain half a basin of purple juice.
Liu Pan'er took the opportunity to put a little bit of the stabilizing curing agent in it and melted it, and then Li Fang put a piece of cloth in it, and the dyed purple water flooded the cloth.
"Third aunt, okay, it'll be fine tomorrow." Li Fang said with a smile, "Although the color is not particularly dazzling purple, the light one is also very good-looking." β
Liu Pan'er smiled and praised, "That color is very good-looking, when it is dyed, I will make clothes for you." β
"Thank you, Aunt San." Li Fang was very happy and was obviously interested in dyeing cloth.
Liu Paner arrived at the house, put the various materials she bought on the shelves, and then began to mix colors. I used some colors that could be bought locally, and I also used some colors in the space.
Some of them are put alone, and some of them are mixed together, and a stable curing agent is put on it, and a cloth of one color is dyed.
Everyone is very much looking forward to the final result.
