Chapter 372 Research, Implementation

The children's mouths were oily from eating, and their eyes were shining with shyness and satisfaction. Zhao Hongbing stood at the door with his hands behind his back and looked at it. Seeing this picture, he let out a sigh of relief, pursed his dry lips and nodded. Head, slowly turned and left.

In just two or three days, Zhao Hongbing issued a new order in the team. In the middle of each month, the team will subsidize half a rabbit to the literacy class and improve the food for the children.

In addition, on the same day, each of the two teachers will be subsidized with a rabbit leg. This is the subsidy agreed in the morning when expanding the class.

The two sides are a good deal, which happens to be a rabbit.

Si Ningning is well aware of the reproductive ability of rabbits. If the team starts breeding in the future, one or two rabbits per month will not be a problem at all, so she has no objections. Zhao Hongbing will give it to her, and she will continue.

Jiang Yue, on the other hand, knows that meat is rare, and a rabbit's leg doesn't say too much, but it doesn't matter much, chop it up, chop it up, and there's a solid half a bowl of meat!
Jiang Yue always felt embarrassed, but followed behind Si Ningning, half pushed and half accepted.

It's just that she rarely eats this rabbit meat by herself, and most of the time she takes it out to exchange for something, such as exchanging eight or ten eggs with the aunt in the team, or exchanging some brown sugar with Si Ningning nearby.

Aunt Jiang Yue's reaction was violent, and she fought with Si Ningning. In order to avoid unnecessary drag, Jiang Yue has always paid attention to this aspect.

Time wobbled into late August and early September, and the literacy class was on vacation for two days. Si Ningning rarely had a rest. She changed out of the jacket and trousers she usually wears in class, and searched to find out what Huo Lang had sent before. Put on the dress.

Her skin was already fair, and she was covered with whiter skin when she rarely saw the sun in the literacy class. She wore a water-blue doll-collared skirt, which not only made her slim, but also made her look light when she walked around. The skin is fair and beautiful, and the appearance is more and more outstanding.

As soon as they left the house, Jiang Yue and Xu Shuhua's eyes stared straight ahead, not to mention others.

After taking over the work of the literacy class, Si Ningning's daily attire is very casual, the most common attire is a gown and trousers.

One of these is that there is no time to tidy up, and the other is that there must always be a bit of decency in class and in front of the children.

Si Ningning prides herself on being too casual, and her dress is a bit sloppy, but suddenly receiving such "amazing" gazes, she is really not used to it.

Or, suddenly a little unconfident?Embarrassed?
Bowing down and sweeping down, she held the black cowhide-covered book in one hand, and held up the hem of the skirt from the side with the other hand, shaking it slightly from side to side and asking, "Hmm...does it still fit? Doesn't it fit well?"

"Why isn't it suitable? It's so suitable that it can't be more suitable!"

Jiang Yue stood up on the table, roared loudly, lifted her chin towards the door, and said, "Look, if you don't believe me!"

Si Ningning looked towards the door in a blink of an eye, and saw Mo Bei and Song Shuhan who were standing at the door and forgot to come in.

One of the two had burning eyes, while the other's pupils were flickering. For some unknown reason, one of their faces was flushed red, and they looked away uncomfortably.

From their eyes, Si Ningning basically confirmed one point.

Whether it fits that well, she doesn't know.

But at least it's pretty...

Just look good.

The embarrassment gradually became clear, and Si Ningning smiled brightly, "It's a rare rest, I'm going out for a walk, and I won't come back for lunch, so you don't have to wait for me!"

The young man trotted towards the door, and the swaying skirt was more beautiful than the roses swaying in the wind. When he passed by, he didn't know who's heart was amazed. Thousands of ripples...

Mo Bei flexed his fingers, and for a moment he really wanted to grab that white and slender wrist, but in the end he could only let the man go away.

If I had expressed my intentions from the very beginning...

If you are not stubborn at the beginning, choose to be gentle...

is not it,
Will there be a different result?
Mo Bei clenched his palms tightly.

On the other side, Si Ningning trotted all the way to the bamboo forest of Chen's house. From a long distance, through the gap in the bamboo forest, he saw Huo Lang busy with something by beating on the corner of the new house.

Si Ningning trotted closer, bowed and her braids slipped from her shoulders, she tilted her head and looked, "What are you doing?"

When she made a sound suddenly, Huo Lang was so frightened that he almost hit his hand with the hammer.

Huo Lang slowed down and turned around to look at Si Ningning. Seeing that Si Ningning was wearing the dress he asked someone to buy, he couldn't help but glanced up and down several times, and finally looked at Si Ningning with his thin lips. Aroused, and the voice softened:

"very suitable."

It is really suitable.

Much like the college girl he'd seen in those old photos of his grandma.

Speaking of female college students, Huo Lang couldn't help but think about it more. After thinking about it, he suddenly took two steps back and looked Si Ningning up and down.

Si Ningning is fair-skinned, beautiful, and pretty. She is the type who looks good in anything, but there is always something that suits her best.

Huo Lang stared at her for a while, and suddenly he was certain of something in his heart, clapped his hands, walked out a few steps, took a ponytail and put it under the shade of a tree, motioning Si Ningning to sit down.

When Si Ningning sat down, he suddenly said something out of tune: "I'll buy you something else next time."

"what?"

Si Ningning had a question mark on his face.

Huo Lang laughed and shook his head, "It's okay."

In a flash, he brought up the question Si Ningning asked just now, "It's nothing, it's just that the rose seed stake that I planted earlier got a new one, and I fixed it on the wall with nails, and it will know that the wall has grown when it turns back."

He pointed to Si Ningning the result of his hard work just now.

Si Ningning huddled on the ponytail, supported her knees with her elbows, and looked at Huo Lang with her chin on her hands, "Rose is not a creeper, if you want it to grow on the wall, you have to keep it fixed, otherwise it will still hang down. "

Huo Lang nodded, put down the hammer and sat down beside Si Ningning, "The branches are still small now, let's do this first, and when they grow thicker and longer, I'll take two ropes and lead them up climb."

Si Ningning nodded.

This is pretty reliable.

"Speaking of it, there is another thing. Didn't you talk about the duck feathers before? I mentioned it to my uncle in the past, but I didn't say much. I just asked him to save some duck feathers for me. The softer the better. "

Huo Lang stood up, reached out to her, and led her to stand up and walk towards the old house, "I went again yesterday, and he saved me a small bag, and I brought it back, take a look?"

"Really? Well, where?"

Si Ningning nodded his head and followed behind to urge him to walk.

Going back to the old house, Huo Lang took out a snakeskin bag from the back of the gate. The top of the snakeskin bag was empty, but the bottom was rounded, and many tiny duck feathers stuck out from the gaps. Randomly strut.

Huo Lang opened the mouth of the bag, "Is it all poured out? Don't touch it with your hands, it's all dirty."

Si Ningning shook his head, "Don't pour it out yet, the wind will blow it all over the place in a while, I'll just take a look first."

Huo Lang nodded, opened the bag and moved towards her.

Si Ningning bowed and stretched his neck to look at him.

The duck feathers should have been collected randomly, some of which were still covered with duck feces, and some could faintly see blood. No wonder Huo Lang said it was dirty and wouldn't let her touch it.

This is not only dirty, but also has a strong smell, not only pungent, but also smoky eyes.

Si Ningning retracted his head and blinked twice vigorously.

Huo Lang squeezed the bag tightly and asked her, "Can it be used?"

Si Ningning wiped away the irritated tears from the corners of his eyes, and nodded, "It should be possible, but it will definitely take a while to deal with it."

Si Ningning understood Huo Lang's intentions, he didn't explicitly tell Gu Sande the cause of the incident, he only asked for help to collect some duck down, and now the duck down is brought back, in fact, for the first experiment.

Make sure it's okay, or it's almost there, and talk to the other side.

It's not that Huo Lang doesn't trust Si Ningning, it's that he wants to treat one thing as a sideline business, as a job of the members' household registration, not just looking at "yes" or "no", but also calculating the cost and benefit in the middle.

If the cost and benefit are basically equal, then there is no need for order.

"What do I need to do? You tell me, I'll do it?"

"You?" Si Ningning laughed, and rolled up his arms and sleeves neatly, "Let's forget it. Are there any buckets or basins that you don't need?"

Huo Lang didn't refute her, he just thought that when she dealt with it, he would just follow suit, so he asked in response, "Is the bathtub okay?"

"No, this one is dirty and has bacteria. It needs to be left unused, as long as it can hold water. It doesn't matter if it's old or dirty."

Huo Lang nodded in understanding, and carried the snakeskin bag to help Si Ningning to the backyard. He turned and left from the backyard, tossing back and forth in several rooms, and finally pulled out a pot from the bottom of Zaomiao's bed.

Si Ningning never knew how down jackets are made before, and only came out by feeling.

The duck down has to be selected. If the capillary is too hard, it must be sterilized. These duck feathers have just been brought back and are very dirty. The first step must be cleaned out.

Huo Lang erected the wooden basin and squatted by the well, while Si Ningning pressed the water on one side, while he took the brush and brushed vigorously the thick dust accumulated on the wooden basin.

After washing the basin, Si Ningning poured half of the basin of water into it, and then ordered Huo Lang to grab the duck feathers into the basin bit by bit, fearing that it would be blown everywhere by the wind.

Huo Lang is not stupid, the duck feathers are so buried, what is Si Ningning going to do first, he guessed right away, and said: "I'll clean it up twice first, and come back when the cleanup is almost done."

Si Ningning glanced at the duck feces dripping on the duck feathers, his eyes widened uncontrollably, and he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Well, despite all the mental preparation, she was a little out of reach.

The bamboo shadows in the backyard were swaying and swaying, and the sound of water was ticking. Huo Lang was busy picking out the foreign objects and duck feathers that were not suitable for use. For a moment, only the one there is calling the shots:

"This lump won't work, take that one out! The blood stains have glued the duck feathers together, can you rub it away?"

"can."

Huo Lang responded, quickly grabbed the sticky duck feathers, pressed them into the water and rubbed them.

Seeing the blood stains on the duck feathers being cleaned off, Si Ningning asked, "How did you collect these duck feathers? There are still blood stains left from the ducks killed?"

"probably."

Si Ningning nodded, "Oh", and didn't ask any more questions.

The ducks raised by the Seventh Brigade are all local lake ducks. The duck down is not white, but mainly gray black and hemp gray. If it is really used, most of the clothes are made of dark materials in this era, so it is not a problem to use.

Like later generations, many trendy down jackets are mostly light-colored and bright-colored, and white velvet must be used for those styles, otherwise the color will show through.

Huo Lang cleaned the duck down for two or three times, and turned it over and over again for more than a dozen rounds. After confirming that he could find no foreign objects or dirt, he nodded and let Si Ningning take over. He then got up to find a broom and dustpan. The plucked duck down is swept out before being blown everywhere by the wind after drying.

The surface of the duck down was cleaned, but in fact the peculiar fishy smell was still there. Si Ningning then changed the water, and after careful selection, he began to proceed to the next step.

Because she likes to be clean, there used to be soap by the well, but because the furniture in the new house was gradually completed, Huo Lang built a new well there, and the soap was taken there. Now there is only A few black soap locusts.

Si Ningning just covered up a piece of soap locust, and rubbed it against the rim of the basin ten or twenty times back and forth. After accumulating some bubbles and soap locusts, she took a handful of duck feathers and rubbed it on it again and again. Just like washing clothes, roll the wet duck feathers together and knead them.

The same process was carried out four or five times, and Si Ningning's hands were already soaked white, but the unique fishy smell did not dissipate much. Si Ningning was a little anxious, and worked hard while scrubbing the sixth time. Think about how to solve this problem.

After thinking about it, she really thought of an idea.

quicklime!
Adding quicklime to the water not only deodorizes it, but also sterilizes it.

Do it when you think of it.

Si Ningning stood up, shook the water off his hands, put down his sleeves and walked outside.

Huo Lang, who was busy in the front yard, saw her, quickly put down his things and followed behind and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"There's almost something, I'll go back and get it!"

When the two girls on the teaching team were cultivating bacteria, the team gave two catties of lime powder, but they didn't take it back afterwards. When the weather got warmer, and feared that snakes and insects would run into the house, Si Ningning went to the door, The windows and other places have sprinkled some, and there are still a lot left.

This time it just happened to come in handy!

"I'm here for lunch. If you have nothing else to do, cook the meal first!"

"it is good."

Huo Lang calmly responded, and after Si Ningning ran away without a trace, he roughly tidied up the front yard, went into the kitchen and went to the rabbit cage with a kitchen knife.

I gave birth to a litter of rabbits last month, and weaned them early to eat vegetable stalks and leaves. It doesn’t make much sense to keep the original breeding rabbits. Huo Lang plans to kill them and eat them first. As for the future, they can choose from the newborn rabbits. Excellent species.

He opened the cage and grabbed the rabbit's long ears, fastened the cage again, and Huo Lang killed the rabbit and skinned it in one go.

It was the same as in the past, the plucked skins were about to be thrown away, and out of the corner of the eye, they saw the wooden basins by the well, and Huo Lang remembered that their own production team was going to raise rabbits, and one of them seemed to want to get this fur or something.
