Chapter 281 Grape Skin
"smell good!"
The aroma spread into the house along with the food.
Plates of food were placed on the table and people sat in a circle around it.
A big bowl of rice, pour a few spoonfuls of braised meat on it, stir evenly, then add a braised egg, take a bite, the taste is incomparable.
Su Mu happily picked up the spoon and scooped spoonfuls of the rice into his mouth.
If Su Mu glanced at the other people, he would find that they were doing the same, eating rice with big mouthfuls, and from time to time picking up a large piece of food with chopsticks and putting it into the bowl and shoveling it into their mouths.
【Host, give me another bowl. 】
006 looked at the almost empty stewed meat and said hastily that he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to have a second bowl.
"it is good."
Su Mu took 006's small bowl, added some rice to it, then some braised meat, and placed it in front of 006.
"Grandpa, why don't you eat meat?" Su Mu turned around and found Su Dingguo eating steamed potatoes.
"Yes, I have already eaten one bowl." Su Dingguo motioned Su Mu to look at his bowl.
"This steamed potato is delicious, soft and tender, and tastes great even without any seasoning." Su Dingguo smiled and took a bite of the potato.
Okay, grandpa is eating so happily.
Su Mu returned to his big bowl of rice and continued to eat.
After dinner, Sumu brought out the fruits that he had prepared in advance.
"This is a new fruit, grapes."
Half of the grapes on the table were chilled, and the other half were grapes that had just been washed and kept at room temperature.
"Is this a grape? This fruit is so delicious."
Ever since Sumu came back, there has never been a shortage of fruits at home, and we can eat some fresh ones from time to time.
While others were eating grapes, Su Mu was staring at the grape skins in a daze.
All the peeled grape skins were put together. Su Mu remembered the grape skin dyeing he had seen before, and he began to feel excited. Could he try it himself?
Su Mu has a wild imagination. She often thinks of or is interested in something, and then she thinks about trying it. For this reason, she has many strange skills.
Although I am not as proficient in each one as others in their majors, at least I know something about them all.
Su Mu looked at the increasing number of grape skins and thought that the grape skins he ate today should be enough to dye the cloth.
Su Mu smiled and took out more grapes, "Everyone continue to eat, but there are still many grapes here."
"Good!" The third brother came to Su Mu and said, "Little sister, you are so nice."
"That's right, Third Brother, keep eating. I have as much as you want."
Su An was touched, "Little sister~"
"I know what you mean. Please continue eating, Third Brother." Su Mu put a bunch of grapes into Su An's arms.
The third brother picked half for Su Mu and took the other half to share with others.
Su Mu looked at the grapes left beside him. He just wanted the grape skins, but his third brother still left so many grapes for him.
The more people there are, the more grapes will be destroyed and the more grape skins will be peeled.
After dinner, Su Dahong picked up the grape skins and wanted to clean them up and throw them away.
Su Mu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Dad, don't throw away the grape skins. I'll keep them for later use."
"Okay." Su Dahong put these down again.
"Mumu, what's the point of keeping these grape skins?" When Wang heard that her daughter was going to keep the grape skins, she knew that her daughter had a new idea.
"Mother, I heard that these grape skins can be used to dye cloth. Shall we try it?"
"Okay." Wang agreed happily and did not stop her from trying.
"When I was young, I watched people dye cloth and tried it myself. I haven't dyed it for a long time. I wonder if my skills have become rusty."
Wang thought back to when she was young, she also wanted to try everything. There were things she didn't have the chance to do before, but now she had the conditions to do so, and she couldn't stop her daughter's ideas.
Even if it fails, it has been an attempt. For Mumu, it is still a novel experience. Of course, success would be even better.
"Mother will do it with you." Wang was also in high spirits.
"it is good."
The two of them got up and left.
The elders in the room also looked at the two people with loving eyes. They were indeed mother and daughter, their thoughts and actions were so similar.
"Mother, do we have alum for dyeing cloth?"
"Yes, mother will find it for you."
Su Mu followed behind Wang and watched her take out a piece from a utility room. "This is it."
"What kind of cloth does Mumu want to dye?" Taking the alum, Wang took Sumu to pick out the cloth.
"Are there any dyed cotton, linen, or a few rolls of silk here?" There were a lot of cloth at home, and Wang was able to accurately locate a box without searching.
It's probably what Wang said.
"Then take some of each." She didn't know what kind of cloth to use for dyeing, but they should all be similar.
"Okay, let's take some of each." Wang took the cloth out of the box.
"This piece of cotton cloth is made from Mumu's cotton. It's very soft. Let's dye it and mother will make you some clothes."
Wang happily picked up a pile of cloth and said, "Let's go. Where does Mumu want to dye it?"
Seeing his mother being so enthusiastic, Su Mu was even happier, "Mom, let's go to the space to dye!"
The space is comfortable and they can study with peace of mind.
"Mumu, this is a good idea." Wang was like she was when she was young, full of energy, able to accept everything new and full of curiosity about the world.
The two of them entered the space together, and 006 also came over to join in the fun.
The two people came to a very large open space.
Su Mu took out a lot of tall racks and prepared to use them to dry the dyed cloths.
Prepare two very large pots and cook in them.
Wang had experience and explained to Su Mu the techniques of dyeing cloth and the general process.
"Dyeing cloth is actually quite simple." Following Wang's words, the two people began to get started.
People outside wanted to come and see how the two people dyed the cloth, but they couldn't find them no matter how hard they looked.
The two people were so comfortable and at ease dyeing the cloth in this space, and when the dyed cloth was taken out, they were amazed.
You need to select some grape skins with very dark color. Wash the grape skins with clean water. Do not wash them too many times to prevent the loss of pigment.
Su Mu and Wang discussed together and combined their experience to finally decide on a plan. They would give it a try first. After all, it was the first time they used grape skin as a dye.
"Mother, I'll pour the grape skins into the pot first."
"it is good."
First pour the washed grape skins into the pot, then add an appropriate amount of clean water. The proportion of clean water is also very important.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then continue cooking over low heat for about 2 quarters of an hour until the grape skins have no color and begin to turn white.
The grape skins continued to boil in the pot, while Wang was preparing the mordant solution by mixing alum and water together.
