Chapter 395 Some people are thicker than the city wall
After hastily finishing breakfast, Yunmo continued to dye bamboo strips and bamboo silk.
This time, she added 5% salt to the prepared dyeing water, and then soaked the bamboo strips and bamboo filaments in the dyeing water.
Based on the results of three different dyeing times last night, Yun Mo directly chose to dye for half an hour this time.
Half an hour later, when Yun Mo picked up the bamboo strips and bamboo silk from the dyeing water, she was surprised to find that the color of the green bamboo dyed this time was much brighter and richer than the one dyed last night.
She felt faintly excited, and intuitively her idea of adding salt was right.
After that, Yunmo put the dyed bamboo strips and bamboo silk in a ventilated place and let them dry naturally.
It was not until around 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon that the dyed bamboo strips and bamboo filaments were dried.
Huang Kailin immediately started making the rice dumpling box according to the previous design.
From 3pm to 9:30pm, excluding eating time, it took almost 5 hours to finally make the new rice dumpling box.
The body of the rice dumpling box is made of small squares interwoven with off-white and green bamboo colors. Off-white is the original color of the bamboo strips.
The lid of the rice dumpling box is woven with green bamboo-colored bamboo silk. The collision of green and off-white colors gives people a delicate and elegant feeling.
Not to mention the Huang family, even Yun Mo herself is very satisfied with this rice dumpling box.
"Not to mention, this rice dumpling box is so beautiful. If I hadn't seen my dad make it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that the bamboo weaving could be so beautiful."
Huang Kailin couldn't help but sigh, "I have been making bamboo weaving for decades, and this is the first time I have made such a delicate thing. Momo, this rice dumpling box should satisfy the boss, right?"
Yun Mo smiled and nodded, "It should be no problem. I'll go to the town post office early tomorrow morning and mail it back to Jiang City."
Before going to bed at night, Huang Zhiqiu brought a bowl of brown sugar ginger water to Yunmo's room.
"Thank you, Mom."
Seeing Yun Mo holding the brown sugar water and sipping it in small sips, Huang Zhiqiu's eyes showed tenderness and distress.
"Drink and get some rest early. You haven't had a good rest since you came back. You've been busy working at the bamboo weaving factory every day. You look thin."
Yun Mo touched her face, "It's good to lose weight. Others can't lose weight even if they want to."
Huang Zhiqiu said in an angry tone, "What's wrong with losing weight? At your age, you should take more supplements for your body. It just so happens that the medicinal materials you sent back before have not been used up yet. I will make some soup for you tomorrow."
"OK."
I have to say that the effect of the brown sugar ginger water is really good. When she was lying on the bed, Yun Mo felt warm all over her body, unlike the previous two days when she always felt cold.
As usual, Lingchuan poured the water for washing his feet and covered the lamp with a piece of paper before taking off his clothes and going to bed.
After Lingchuan lay down, Yun Mo took the initiative to lean over, and Lingchuan also stretched his arms to hug her out of habit.
When she closed her eyes, Yun Mo suddenly thought of something, "Lingchuan."
Lingchuan looked down at her, his dark eyes so gentle that they were drowning, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
"You are so miserable."
"What?"
Don't ask, just ask because the readers said so.
"Nothing, go to sleep."
"OK, good night."
He is not miserable. He can sleep with his wife in his arms every day. He is much happier than a single man.
Lingchuan thought happily and soon fell into a sweet dream.

The next day, Yun Mo went to the post office to express the rice dumpling box, and then called Xie's house.
Xie Xia had to go to class and was not at home, so Yun Mo asked the nanny to bring her a message and also asked the nanny to write down the mailing number.
Under normal circumstances, after the postal package arrives in Jiang City, it will take about half a day to a day for distribution and delivery.
Yun Mo directly told Xie Xia the tracking number, so that after the parcel arrived in Jiang City, she could go to the post office to pick up the items directly with the tracking number, which would save time.
In the evening, as soon as Xie Xia came home, the nanny handed her a message from Yun Mo and a piece of paper recording the postal order number.
In the evening, after Xie's father came home, Xie Xia told Xie's father about the matter.
Maybe the last rice dumpling box brought too much disappointment. Although Xie Linan discussed the improvement plan with Yun Mo, he obviously had no confidence in Yun Mo's rice dumpling box. He has been secretly planning and preparing the second set of rice dumplings in the past few days.
Box scheme.
Therefore, when he heard his daughter's words, Xie Linan didn't take it too seriously. He just said that he would let his secretary pick it up when the time came.
"Dad, I'd better go get it back. It happens to be the weekend off."
Xie Linan looked at her daughter curiously, "Xia'er, do you like Xiao Mo very much? I've never seen you care so much about any of your classmates or friends before."
Xie Xia explained quietly, "I invested in a bamboo weaving factory. If she loses money, my money will be wasted."
Xie Linan was confused, "When did you invest? How much did you invest?"
"You adults don't need to worry about our children's affairs."
"..."
While the Huang family was waiting for news from the Xie family, Yun Mo was not idle either. She spent part of her time every day tutoring Huang Qingning, and spent the rest of her time studying dyeing and learning bamboo weaving from Huang Kailin.
I have to admit that men are more talented than girls in terms of hands-on ability.
She and Lingchuan learned it at about the same time. Lingchuan can now basically weave a shaped rice dumpling box. She can't even weave the frame of the rice dumpling box.
In the past few days, Huang Jianguo and Peng Fang have been visiting frequently, and they always come at meal time.
Because Yun Mo and Ling Chuan were here, the Huang family's food was better than usual during this period, and they basically had meat for every meal.
The couple just came to the house to eat, and they picked out all the good food, which Yang Xinghua didn't like to see.
On this day, when the couple wanted to join the table again, Yang Xinghua directly kicked out the guests.
"Second brother, if you want to eat, go back to your own home. We have been separated for more than ten years. What do you think of eating here every day now?"
Huang Jianguo explained with a smile, "I don't want to worry about the crowds. It's just me and Peng Fang at home. It's deserted. I'm too lazy to start a fire, so I just came over and had a few bites."
"Second uncle, you and your second aunt are not eating casually at all. The day before yesterday, your aunt stewed chicken. You and your second aunt each ate a chicken leg, but only half of the chicken was gone."
Huang Qingning had long been dissatisfied with the behavior of Huang Jianguo and Peng Fang, so he took the opportunity to say sarcastically.
Peng Fang glanced at Huang Qingning and said, "Qingning, you are a well-educated person. Why are your eyesight so shallow? You have to keep it in mind when I eat a chicken leg. You are too petty."
Huang Qingning, who always has a straight temper, exploded when he heard this.
"It is better to have shallow eyes than to have no eyesight. My cousin has been running around the bamboo weaving factory these days and is very tired and thin. My aunt specially killed a chicken to replenish my cousin's health. Grandpa and grandma were not willing to eat the chicken legs.
It's better for you to leave it to your cousin and cousin's husband. With such big eyes, you are just pretending to be blind. Some people have thicker skin than the city walls, and they have the nerve to say that I have shallow eyes."
