Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 374 Finalized
Huo Lang turned back, gently pushed Si Ningning away, touched Si Ningning's head again, and said in a coaxing tone:

"I know, but this is what I want to give you."

"obedient."

"Well……"

The lifelong event between the two of them is a matter of course. Si Ningning didn't think that if she was a girl, she would be despised if she took the initiative to bring it up, but she hesitated for a while before she nodded.

Just wait and wait!
It's okay to wait.

Right now, things in the team are on the agenda, and they are not able to spare time to properly manage their own affairs.

"Just woke up, are you hungry, thirsty?"

Si Ningning shook his head, "How long have you had lunch? How could you be so hungry!"

Huo Lang lifted his chin up with a smile, motioning Si Ningning to look at the sky, "You've slept quite a bit this time."

Si Ningning quibbled, "Just laying down while sleeping, doing nothing, the contents of my stomach haven't been digested yet."

But she was really thirsty.

Si Ningning licked his lips subconsciously. Huo Lang saw through her small movements, grabbed her shoulders, turned her in a different direction, and pushed her towards the main room, "There is brewed scented tea in the pot on the table, it should have cooled down , it’s a good time to drink.”

"You pour it yourself, I'll pull down two more boards, and we'll make leather."

"Ok!"

Huo Lang's arrangement was very satisfactory to Si Ningning, she nodded without thinking, and trotted to the main room.

In the courtyard, Huo Lang looked at her back with a smile and shook his head, then bowed and continued to work.

At 04:30 in the afternoon of Moyo, Huo Lang finally finished his work. He put down a series of tools such as the jigsaw and hammer. He rinsed off the dust on his arms and face by the well, and after cooling down a little, he beckoned to Si Ningning. .

Randomly pulling a length of bamboo tube, Huo Lang opened it with a hatchet, chose one-third of the width of the bamboo to keep, and waved the rest aside.

He used a hatchet to shave one side of the bamboo slices, and roughly shaved a little thin edge. He tried it, and when he felt that it was almost done, he picked up the rabbit skin from the basin, turned out the side with blood, flesh and grease, and washed it at ordinary times. Spread out on the large stones of rinsing:

"I learned this from my comrades-in-arms a few years ago when I hadn't changed jobs. I didn't pay much attention to it. The first step is to soak it. Clean up the remaining oil, minced meat and so on."

"This is a meticulous job, and this step is the troublesome part of the whole process. If this step is not handled well, it will be useless to do other work later."

Si Ningning nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully again.

Huo Lang smiled and nodded, his hands were not slow, and while he was busy, he shared some knowledge with Si Ningning, such as:
Why choose bamboo knives and stones to clean leftover meat instead of sharper, better-controlled iron knives?

The answer is that even though iron knives are severely worn, they have a certain degree of hardness, so they may look unpleasant, but they are actually much sharper than bamboo slices and stones.

If it is too sharp, there will be less fault tolerance, and it is easy to accidentally injure the leather during operation.

Si Ningning tapped the bamboo knife in Huo Lang's hand: "Most Chinese people are smart, let's just talk about this, how many times have you tried to come to this little trick and conclusion?"

Huo Lang shook his head and smiled lowly:

"People are smart, but experiments can't be said. Like what we caught up with luck in the wild before, we used what we had at hand to concoct leather, and we didn't pay much attention to it."

"No matter what tool you borrow, you just have to be careful when cleaning it up. If you're half-hearted, even if you pinch the minced meat on it with your hands, the skin that should be hurt will still be hurt."

Si Ningning nodded obediently, keeping Huo Lang's words in mind.

A small piece of rabbit skin, after being soaked in the past, Huo Lang can clean it up in less than half an hour. Today is to show Si Ningning the cooking process, so Huo Lang needs to clean it up carefully. While talking, it was already an hour later when we proceeded to the next link.

After rubbing the cleaned leather several times on the slate, Huo Lang went into the kitchen and shoveled two shovels of plant ash out.

The rabbit skin is opened, and two large handfuls of plant ash are sprinkled on it, rolled up and continue to be rubbed repeatedly, "The plant ash can remove oil, and it can also play a certain role in cleaning. It is most suitable for dealing with oil slicks on the leather."

Si Ningning nodded, his little head was running fast, and he asked after a while: "Plant ash contains alkali, so it can decontaminate and degrease. If you only look at the alkalinity, then lime powder can also be used?"

Quicklime is an alkaline oxide, the main component is calcium oxide, but after it reacts with water and reacts, it will become slaked lime, which also produces "alkali".

Whether it is duck down or rabbit skin, there is always something in the same line between the concoctions.

Si Ningning asked Huo Lang: "After rubbing the ashes for a while, do I have to soak them?"

"Yes."

Si Ningning asked again: "Then how did you get drunk before?"

"Alum, plant ash, or salt, choose one of these three, mix it with hot water, soak it for two to three days, take it out, rinse it, and proceed to the next step."

Si Ningning pondered for a while. This step should have the effect of degrading the protein in the animal fur. If this step is done well, the leather will be softer, and there will be no peculiar smell after processing or wearing.

"Follow your original method, but add a little lime powder, it can remove the smell and sterilize the bacteria."

Taste affects the quality of leather, and "bacteria" is a thing, and medicine is underdeveloped in this era, Si Ningning thinks that "sterilization" must be strictly controlled.

Fortunately, there is such a good thing as quicklime. Not only is the effect simple and rude, but the cost is extremely low, and it can directly solve many difficult problems.

"Okay." Huo Lang agreed.

Duck down and rabbit skin are not things that can be cleared up in one go. Seeing that it was getting late, Si Ningning turned over the snakeskin bag that contained duck feathers and washed it clean, and finally hung it in a corner of the backyard to dry.

After finishing all this work, she clapped her hands and prepared to go home:
"It's been a while since I came out today, I should go back."

"I send you."

"Well. By the way, I will come tomorrow morning and have breakfast here."

"Okay, I'm ready and waiting for you to come."

Si Ningning nodded, and the two walked together. When they got to the literacy class, she turned around and waved at Huo Lang, "Let's send it here. The dormitory is in front, and this road is busy."

Huo Lang stopped when he heard the words, and in the blurry sky, he watched Si Ningning like a cunning rabbit, rushing into the path and running away without seeing him.

Huo Lang stood there for a while, guessing that Si Ningning was about to reach the educated youth's point, and then slowly turned around.

He weighed and muttered silently in his heart:
There is still a cabinet...

The attic floor and stairs also need to be filled with tung oil on both sides. The south side is surrounded by mountains and forests, and there are many termites, so we must take precautions in advance.

In the dead of night, Jiang Yue was lying on the bed, half asleep and half awake, not sure if it was a dream or what, suddenly a long section of stairs appeared in front of her eyes, she raised her footsteps and was about to step over a section, but when she stepped out, she stepped on a void, suddenly Shaking Ling was awakened from the dream.

Jiang Yue was sitting on the edge of the bed panting with sweat on her brow. After a while, she realized that Si Ningning, who was on the opposite bed, hadn't rested yet and was burying her head in writing under the lamp.

Jiang Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead, put on her shoes and went to the main room to pour a glass of water. When she came back, she was standing by the table, drinking water while watching what Si Ningning was busy with.

Si Ningning was recording the steps of washing duck down and cleaning rabbit skin during the day. After writing the outline, he wrote down a number of tips in the blank space below that he thought would work, or could be replaced in a simpler way.

Jiang Yue can still understand the text part, but there are still several lines of letters below, and Jiang Yue can see the question marks all over her head: "What are you writing?"

"Isn't our team going to raise rabbits? In the future, we should process leather or something by ourselves. I'm thinking about the method now to see which one is most suitable for the current implementation."

Jiang Yue nodded, "I know, what I'm talking about is this, what is this? It doesn't look like foreign language."

She clicked on the notebook, Si Ningning looked over, said "Oh" calmly: "This is a chemical equation, I wrote it casually, don't read that."

When recording just now, Si Ningning suddenly had an idea, could they try to make antiseptic detergents, bleach, etc. at the lowest cost?
But after a rough calculation, there are too few possible things in hand. To make out what you need, you have to list the same formula, do experiments to extract, and then collect...

Not only is it boring, but it is also a waste of time. If you think about it, you should forget it first.

Now everything is in its infancy, so it's not good to spread the stall too wide, otherwise things will not be completed, and not only her time and energy will be wasted, but everyone will have to run with her.

Just focus on what's in front of you.

"You really can't stay idle. It's rare to have two days off, and I didn't see you take a rest."

"I'm resting right now. These things are just sorted out and played with, to pass the time."

Jiang Yue pouted, if she didn't know Si Ningning's personality, she really didn't want to talk to Si Ningning.

Having said that, it seems to be like this every time?
Si Ningning said that any random thing can be made to shine in the end...

Jiang Yue couldn't help feeling in her heart:

There is really a big difference between reading more books and reading less. Like Si Ningning's staged excellence, it is difficult for her to catch up with a whip and horseback riding in her life.

Reading is really important!
People who are poor need to study, and people who are ugly also need to study. People like her who are mediocre and have no family background should study more!
Jiang Yue clenched her fists in front of her chest, and Si Ningning glanced at her from the corner of her eye, not knowing why she suddenly became excited.

"Did you just have a nightmare?"

"No, it's all trivial, so don't mention it."

Jiang Yue waved her hands, took two books and sat down in front of Si Ningning.

Si Ningning gave a slight pause to clear the table, raised his eyes and asked her, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Yue shook the book in her hand, "Read a book!"

"Don't sleep?"

"Sleep again later! Wait until I finish reading these two pages!"

Jiang Yue's attitude was firm, so Si Ningning didn't bother her. After packing up, Si Ningning pushed aside the mosquito net and got into the bed, occasionally talking to Jiang Yue to remind her to go to bed early.

For the rest of the time, Si Ningning was thinking about it in silence.

Zhao Hongbing is a philanthropic figure. He does everything he decides to do well. He has always given clear rewards and punishments to the children, teachers, and members of the team, and his strength is not small.

But, if the matter of the rabbit farm has not been progressed, how long can this arrogant reward and punishment system last?

Although the rabbit farm is busy every day, the actual promotion is really very small.

Si Ningning knew the reason.

One, it’s the second half of the year again, and the time to store fodder is limited. When there are few rabbits, you can still take care of it, but not when there are too many.

But rabbits are just so capable of giving birth.

The second is the problem of concocting leather.

Si Ningning has never given a clear statement. Even if Zhao Hongbing believes in her and supports her, there are still many people in the production team who are in a wait-and-see attitude. These people are worried about gains and losses, and are afraid that their hard work will go to waste, so they act as a role model when they work. Grinding foreign workers.

Zhao Hongbing will spur these people, but as the captain of the production team, he has many responsibilities and tasks, and he doesn't have eyes all over his body. There are always things he can't take care of.

Si Ningning rubbed his face against the pillow, and he became more and more determined to finalize the leather-making technique as soon as possible.

"Ningning?"

"what?"

"I'm going to bed, do you still use the lamp?" Jiang Yue asked.

Si Ningning responded in a low voice: "No need, I'm sleepy too, just play it!"

"it is good."

In the early morning of the next day, Si Ningning washed up and put his things back where they were. Just like yesterday, he went out to Chen's house with a water bottle and a small satchel on his back.

According to Huo Lang's words, he cooked the meal early.

The breakfast was nothing special, it was just a big pot of multigrain porridge with four eggs, Si Ningning came over and remembered to look at the duck down and rabbit skins, Huo Lang pushed him to the table and sat down.

Huo Lang divided the eggs, four eggs happened to be one for each person, "Eat first, and watch after eating."

"Oh fine."

Si Ningning took the eggs and knocked them on the edge of the small table. While peeling the shells for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you checked today? Is there any change? The rabbit skin needs to be soaked for several days, so you can't see it. What, duck down can always see something, right?"

Huo Lang nodded first, then shook his head, "I went to see it, those duck feathers are lumped together in the water, nothing can be seen."

"what?"

Si Ningning was a little disappointed. At this time, Huo Lang gasped and added: "But one thing is confirmed, the lime water should have an effect. The duck feathers really don't smell so fishy anymore."

"real!?"

Si Ningning's deer eyes lit up instantly, which was considered excellent news.

"I'll eat it quickly, and I'll go over to have a look later. If there's no major problem, I can fish it out today, and wait until it's dry to see the situation!"

"Row."

Huo Lang nodded in agreement, and calmly peeled off the frangipani flower in his hand and pressed it into his mouth, while the white and tender egg whites were conveniently placed in Si Ningning's bowl.

The author has something to say:
A few days ago, it was supposed to be updated stably, but after three years of prevention, I still couldn’t prevent it. I suddenly became Y, and I lay on the bed for seven days. Now I don’t feel so uncomfortable, but I still often feel dizzy...

too painful!Cuties who are not yet Y must take good protection!
