Skillful Wife of Military - C83 Cloth Color
Niuniu was washing the dishes while Xu Hui was squatting by the stove watching the potatoes. Because they were hot, Xu Hui was not stupid enough to take them out with her hands. After she found the pincers that held the firewood, she took out the baked potatoes.
Xu Hui looked at the steaming ball in her hand. The surface of the potato had turned black after being roasted. Some parts of it even had a guoba growing on them. Xu Hui pinched it, but fortunately, it felt right and should be edible.
Niuniu washed the dishes quickly, so she was there when Xu Hui took out the potatoes. However, the usually gluttonous Niuniu was not excited at all. Looking at the potato that came out of the fire, she pouted, her eyes full of pity.
Xu Hui, of course, took Niuniu’s reaction seriously. She did not explain, but just handed the potatoes to Niuniu and said, “It’s for you to eat, your reward!”
Niuniu only took two steps back. “How can I eat this? It’s so dirty …”
Xu Hui raised her eyebrows and looked at Niuniu but did not say anything. She put another potato under the stove in front of Niuniu and carried a small wooden stool next to the stove. While she was waiting for the potato to be roasted, she tore off the skin on the potato in her hand.
Niuniu also brought a small stool over. This was almost a daily occurrence for both of them, so Xu Hui asked what Niuniu had been practicing today and chatted with her for a while. Niuniu was still young. Other people were not prepared for Niuniu, so many things that Xu Hui did not know about could be learned from her.
At first, the atmosphere between the two of them was very harmonious. However, Xu Hui had already finished half of the potato in her hand. Niuniu could not help but ask Xu Hui, “Is it delicious?”
Xu Hui winked playfully. “Delicious.”
Niuniu finally understood what it meant to lift a rock and smash her own feet. Originally, it looked like such a dark mass of food would not taste good, but she did not expect that after peeling it off, it would look good. Adding to that, Xu Hui was enjoying her meal very much, so Niuniu could not sit still anymore.
Xu Hui ignored Niu Niu and pretended that she did not see her and continued to eat the potato without a care in the world. Niuniu came in front of Xu Hui and asked, “Sister-in-law, can you give me some?”
Xu Hui looked at Niuniu. “You don’t want to eat?” “I’m regretting it now. I thought it wasn’t delicious …”
Xu Hui smiled. It was good that she had fun now and then. Otherwise, she would be bullying the kids.
Xu Hui took out the poker and took out the second potato from under the stove. She told the potato to roll twice on the ground before she squeezed it with her hand. Niuniu had been waiting impatiently for this moment. Xu Hui removed the fire pincer, and Niuniu crouched down to pick it up.
Xu Hui looked at Niuniu who was peeling the potatoes excitedly. She thought she could get some sweet potatoes for roasting next time. She did not know if the family had eaten like this before, but Xu Hui knew Niuniu had definitely eaten before.
Thinking of the sweet sweet sweet potato, Xu Hui was eager to try it out. Every time she cooked a dish that she had never seen before, Xu Hui would always feel the same way, as if she had invented this dish herself. Therefore, Xu Hui had plenty of energy to cook this kind of thing.
Perhaps Xu Hui’s words had been effective that day, as the three people of Xiao Pao had stopped looking for trouble and did not look for trouble. They also had something to eat. Xu Hui was very satisfied with this and naturally would not take the initiative to cause trouble for them. However, she always kept her guard up against Xu Hui.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Hui had used up all the silk that she had obtained from Cheng Yan, and she was still very satisfied with the cloth she had knitted. However, due to the fact that some places were not as shiny due to the long time since it had been put away, he did not need to dye the cloth too much.
Xu Hui felt that this matter could not be delayed, so she cut some weaved clothes and brought them to Cheng Yan’s shop.
When Xu Hui walked to Cheng Yan’s shop, she found that Cheng Yan was in the midst of cooking incense. Xu Hui walked up to him and did not disturb him.
After Cheng Yan was done, Xu Hui gave the cloth in her hand to Cheng Yan: “How about you take a look?”
Cheng Yan took it and felt it. Actually, last time when Xu Hui came, Cheng Yan had already touched the quality of the cloth that Xu Hui had weaved, so she did not touch it carefully this time. But just like Xu Hui, Cheng Yan also noticed the color.
“Naturally, I can trust the quality. However, this color …” Cheng Yan hesitated to speak, but he was afraid that Xu Hui would be unhappy because of her words.
Xu Hui smiled and nodded: “I know what you want to say, yes, I also noticed it. In the past, I only used Niu Niu’s clothes on New Year’s Eve to allow my village’s master to dye it, but I haven’t even touched this piece of fabric yet, so I’m waiting for you to come to a conclusion. ”
Cheng Yan thought for a while. Since Xu Hui asked him for her opinion, it meant that Xu Hui trusted him a lot. It was not’s fault for being disloyal, it was just that Xu Hui was too young to be easily convinced.
However, their relationship was already good, so Cheng Yan would naturally work wholeheartedly for Xu Hui. After all, doing this kind of thing would result in a win-win situation.
“Actually, I think it’s fine if it isn’t dyed. After all, the quality of this cloth is really good. Maybe we can take a portion of the cloth to dye it and use a portion of it to directly make clothes. Even if we can’t sell it, we can let the customers see the cloth directly through the color.”
Xu Hui nodded. “But there doesn’t seem to be a dyeing workshop around here. If that’s the case, I’m afraid we won’t have enough people.”
When he saw the incense that Cheng Yan had prepared earlier, he had an idea. “Can you let me see the incense that you had made earlier?”
Cheng Yan was a little surprised, she did not know why Xu Hui would suddenly ask to see her scent. However, thinking that Xu Hui was more of a woman like herself, perhaps it was normal for him to be interested in her.
“This is a new show for today. Because I have nothing better to do, I didn’t want to stay idle, so I chose this one. However, the later stages of the training may have to be improved a bit. The prelude is a little bit of the orchid fragrance, and after a while it starts to gradually become lighter, finally showing a kind of grass smell. ” Cheng Yan introduced it as she passed it to Xu Hui, “How about you sniff it? If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”
Xu Hui smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Cheng Yan did not want it. She then opened the glass bottle’s opening and fanned it with his hand to smell it.
