Chapter 205 Dyeing cloth with grape skins

After coming out of the delicious building, Liu Pan'er went to Gu's house to pay his respects to Mrs. Gu as usual.

What I brought this time was the sesame seed cakes with fresh meat, pickles and vegetables. They were crispy on the outside and had pickles and fresh meat on the inside. The crispy taste left a fragrance on your lips and teeth.

The Gu family is rich, so even if Liu Paner spends a lot of money to buy gifts, the Gu family will not notice her.

In this case, Liu Pan'er would put in some effort every time she came to visit, making something novel for Mrs. Gu to try.

Such a move suited Mrs. Gu's thoughts exactly.

Mrs. Gu lacks nothing, but what she lacks is others' attention to her.

At this time, as soon as Liu Pan'er came in, the concierge greeted her warmly, "Mrs. De Rui please, the old lady said, as long as Mrs. De Rui comes, there is no need to announce, just welcome her directly."

This is a great trust and honor. Only guests with excellent relationships can receive such treatment.

Liu Pan'er looked surprised and smiled, "Thank you, madam, for your kindness. Please help me lead the way."

Liu Pan'er, led by the concierge, arrived at the main courtyard together.

Tian Xing saw Liu Pan'er and came up to her with a smile, "The old lady was talking about madam just now, and you are here. Let the slaves carry this box. From the smell, the old lady must have prepared delicious food for us again.

.”

Liu Pan'er chuckled and handed it to Tian Xing, "I don't know anything else, but I can think of some food to honor the old lady."

Following Tian Xing in, Liu Pan'er saw that the old lady had lost some weight, but was in better spirits.

Mrs. Gu was very happy when she saw Liu Pan'er. This woman looked happy and energetic. "Pan'er, open the box quickly and let me have a taste of it."

Recently, she has reduced her food intake, especially for dinner, and drinks a little oil-free vegetable soup. Although the cook is very good and she eats well, she is not as happy as before.

However, my body feels a lot more relaxed and I am no longer out of breath when I walk around the garden.

People still have to move.

Tian Xing had already taken out the pickled vegetable and meat sesame cakes from the box. They were about the size of half an egg, round, and baked until they were golden and crispy, and extremely fragrant.

Mrs. Gu directly took one and put it in her mouth, chewing and tasting it carefully.

She is old and her teeth cannot eat hard things, but this pickled vegetable and fresh meat sesame cake is extremely crispy and can be broken into pieces with just a light bite.

The crispy brown crust on the outside and the pickled vegetables and meat inside form an indescribable texture and aroma, and the taste is quite strong, which is especially suitable for Mrs. Gu's taste.

Mrs. Gu ate two pieces and stopped eating. She stared at the sesame cakes eagerly and said to Tian Xing: "Put it away for me. Don't let it get soft because of the moisture. I will eat it tomorrow."

Liu Pan'er nodded in praise, "What the old lady said is that this stuff is rich in oil and salt, so it's really not advisable to eat too much."

Mrs. Gu nodded, "Remember, don't be greedy."

Liu Pan'er and Mrs. Gu had endless topics to talk about, and they felt like they had met so late.

This Mrs. Gu is not an ignorant wife of the back house. She once followed Mrs. Gu as an official in many places in the Zhou Dynasty and understood the customs and customs of each place.

Liu Pan'er is also knowledgeable and can always pick up the conversation.

Mrs. Gu was very happy. The conversation between her and Liu Pan'er was all over the world. She no longer chatted with other wives in the back house and said whose daughter-in-law couldn't give birth to a son and whose daughter had found a good one.

Son-in-law, the family can benefit...

Liu Pan'er also learned more about the customs and customs of Dazhou from Mrs. Gu's conversation.

If there is a chance in the future, she would also like to see around and travel around.

Without disturbing Mrs. Gu's rest, Liu Pan'er said goodbye and left.

She bought a lot of dyes and took them home together to prepare for her dyeing workshop business.

When she got home, her sister-in-law was inspecting the fabrics with the driver of the cloth shop.

Liu Pan'er checked along with her and found that the batch she had marked had not been replaced.

The coachman laughed and said, "Our Cai Family Cloth Shop is made of genuine materials. We are honest and sincere, and we will not pretend to be shoddy."

Liu Pan'er smiled and nodded, "It's because Caijia Cloth Shop has a good reputation that I came here to buy it. But you have to pay and deliver the goods, so of course you have to check carefully. If something goes wrong after you leave, you can also

Don’t admit it!”

The coachman smiled and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. Can you check it quickly? If you go slower, I might not be able to get back before the city gate is closed."

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Okay, I'll check it in person this time. There are many people, so hurry up. Next time when you deliver the goods, don't leave ink on the road, and don't leave too late. Don't blame me if you can't return to the city by then.

Didn't remind you."

The coachman smiled coquettishly and nodded, "Madam, what you taught me is a lesson I have remembered."

After careful inspection, Liu Paner got the receipt and paid the money.

The driver drove the carriage and left quickly.

Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, sister, I will check it carefully when I receive the goods. I have already bought these white cloths, have you bought the dye? If not, I will make some myself."

Hearing this, Liu Pan'er was surprised and looked at Ms. Liu in confusion, "Sister-in-law, can you still make your own dye?"

Li Fang came over and smiled, "Third Aunt, not only can my mother make it, but I can also make it. We have raw materials at home, and when we pound them with grape skins, we get purple. We just use grape skins to dye them and wash them.

It fell off after a few times.”

Liu Paner suddenly realized that she had seen short video bloggers dyeing grape skins before. If a stabilizing curing agent was added, the color might not fade.

"It just so happens that I have a way to fix the color. Ah Fang, you go pick grapes and I will give you a piece of cotton cloth. You are responsible for dyeing it purple, and then I will use what I have figured out. If the color does not fade, the piece of cloth will be given to you.

You're welcome." Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "When the time comes, you can use these cloths to make a lot of clothes."

When Li Fang heard this, her eyes lit up and she smiled, "Thank you, third aunt, I'll go get it right now."

Sister Mao'er and others also came to help and moved the fabrics to the room next to the yard of the dyeing workshop.

There are two wooden shelves inside, with neatly laid fabrics on them.

Li Fang took Li Li and Li Rong to pick grapes, wash them, and then everyone began to eat the grapes. After cleaning the grape skins, they put them into a stone pound, beat them hard with a stone pestle, and then filtered them with gauze to get

Half a basin of purple juice.

Liu Pan'er took the opportunity to put a little bit of the stabilizing curing agent in and let it melt. Then Li Fang put a piece of cloth in, and the dyed purple water flooded the cloth.

"Third Aunt, okay, we can do it tomorrow." Li Fang said with a smile, "Although the color is not a particularly dazzling purple, it is light and beautiful."

Liu Pan'er smiled and praised, "That color is very beautiful. When it is dyed, I will make clothes for you."

"Thank you, Third Aunt." Li Fang was very happy, obviously very interested in dyeing cloth.

Liu Pan'er arrived at the house, put the various materials she bought on the shelves, and then started to mix colors. She used some colors that could be bought locally and also used some colors in the space.

Some are placed separately, and some are blended together, with a stabilizing curing agent and one piece of cloth of one color for dyeing.
