Chapter 1043 Fire and Theft Prevention
"Mom!"
Baichuan walked up the stairs from the terrace.
The little guy lay on the window and looked in hard, his cute little fat face was squeezed out of shape:
"What is mom doing?"
Lu Miao was afraid that this little villain would come and cause trouble.
He quickly packed it up and put it together with the stone mortar in the cupboard above the shoe cabinet.
After gathering up all the things that were fragile and could easily hurt the child, Lu Miao turned around, opened the screen door on the terrace, and put the carefree and giggling boy into the house.
"Where did you go again? Where did the spider web on your head come from?"
"Hey~ Mommy, give me a hug!"
"Why are you hugging me? Look at you, you're dirty!"
After the period of being new mothers and fathers, when Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou treated Bai Chuan, they were not as careful as they were with Ming Yi and Ming Xia.
Sometimes it can even be said to be simple and crude,
Just like now.
Lu Miao glanced at Bai Chuan's dark little hands, turned serious for a second, and took Bai Chuan's arm and carried him to the bathroom sink.
Baichuan people are cautious, and although they noticed that their mother had become serious, they didn't take it too seriously.
While his mother was squeezing his little hand and scrubbing it, Baichuan used his free hand to hold soap and splash it in the sink.
Children's thinking is always wild and unconstrained.
Baichuan tilted his head back to look at his mother, Gaga laughed happily:
"Mom, can't you catch it!? The soap is as slippery as a small fish. Mom, look, the soap fish swims away~!"
His cute little look makes people laugh.
Lu Miao took off the towel and washed his little face, kissed his chubby little face and said:
"Yes, like a small fish~!"
I took Bai Chuan to lie down on the small sofa and played for a while.
Lu Miao took another toy and let Baichuan play by herself while she turned the pages and read a book beside her.
When the child's father came back after buying the ticket, she handed the little villain to the child's father and asked the child's father to take him downstairs to play.
She will continue her previous business...
Cochineal pigments are soluble in water.
Lu Miao poured the ground fine powder into a large beaker.
Mix with water and mix so that the insect pink pigment can be fully dissolved into the water.
Then slowly pass the thick dark red liquid through a fine sieve to remove undissolved impurities and insect residues and other solid matter in the liquid.
Then fix the beaker on the stand and light the alcohol lamp at the bottom to heat and cook.
During this period, Lu Miao kept watching to prevent the beaker from burning to the bottom.
Stir it occasionally.
After the liquid was concentrated and excess water evaporated, Lu Miao closed the lid of the alcohol lamp until it slowly became viscous in the beaker.
While waiting for the temperature of the beaker to dissipate, Lu Miao slowly began to collect the things.
Fu Jingyou came in from the terrace, saw it and asked:
"Is this good?"
"How can it be so fast? We are only halfway through the steps."
Lu Miao glanced at him, her smart litchi eyes twinkling, and asked with a little thought:
"You have nothing else to do?"
Fu Jingyou nodded and took out the ticket and gave it to her:
"The garden is almost done. Yangyang asked Wang Xiu and Xiangxiang to take care of it."
Wang Xiu and Xiang Xiang had just arrived and asked them to take Bai Chuan out to play. Fu Jingyou was not so relieved.
But at home, it's nothing.
Lu Miao nodded, twitched her fingers at him, and coaxed the person to come over and arrange the work.
She originally wanted to tidy up and wait two days to see what happened to the toner that had just been filtered through water before deciding on subsequent arrangements.
Now that we have free labor, that's a different story.
Lu Miao pushed all the cochineal bugs in cans and bottles to Fu Jingyou and asked him to grind them out. Fu Jingyou has a delicate mind, and when it comes to her affairs, he is even more delicate.
She said she wanted to grind the powder into fine powder, and Fu Jingyou, a tall and muscular man, sat next to her at the end of the coffee table.
Holding a small stone mortar in his hand, he was grinding it as hard as if he were holding an embroidery needle.
The six round-trip sleeper tickets were all for one workshop. Lu Miao took a quick look and collected the tickets first.
Afraid that the fan would blow the cochineal powder everywhere, there was an electric fan nearby, but Lu Miao never turned it on.
Looking back, Lu Miao chuckled softly when she saw Fu Jingyou working hard and sweating from the heat.
While he was working, she took a cattail leaf fan and sat next to him, fanning him gently.
Fu Jingyou looked at her and said:
"I'm not hot."
Lu Miao curled her lips and nodded with a smile:
"I know you're not hot, I'm fanning my insect powder."
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Fu Jingyou shook his head helplessly and lovingly. Knowing that he couldn't get around her, he had no choice but to lower his head and continue working.
Fu Jingyou is thoughtful and efficient in his work.
With his joining, Lu Miao was like a god.
By evening, a large can of cochineal scabs had undergone preliminary water filtering.
Lu Miao took out some pieces of oil paper and spread the insect powder that had been boiled into a thick paste on both sides.
Lu Miao went downstairs to the garden and picked up a few stones. He pressed the edge of the oil paper and dried the insect powder on the outside of the window sill of the room.
After taking two steps back and taking a look, Lu Miao nodded with satisfaction.
The next step is to wait for the paste to dry at low temperature and then handle it carefully depending on the situation...
Thinking of something, Lu Miao turned around and said:
"Yangyang always climbs up the stairs from outside. It's okay for children to be noisy by nature, but he's only a little big. What if he doesn't watch where he falls? Think of a way, go back and press a small door at the bottom of the stairs. Something like that, don’t let him run up every day.”
"Yeah."
Fu Jingyou thought for a moment and nodded:
"That's easy to say."
I used to live over there in Qingta Hutong, when Dabao and Erbao were still young.
At that time, Fu Jingyou was afraid that the two children would fall into the toilet pit because they were ignorant, so Fu Jingyou installed a small door in the toilet.
The small door is waist high and has a latch on the inside.
An adult can open it by putting his arm in, but a child can't reach it.
Just install another one similar to that one.
Fire prevention and theft prevention, Baichuan, Fu Jingyou was talking, and he had already stood up to find a tape measure to measure the size.
Lu Miao tidied up the coffee table in the living room on the second floor and then went downstairs together.
Many door panels were dismantled and installed during the previous renovation of the house.
Fu Jingyou rattled around in front of and behind the house, selecting available wood for nailing small doors.
To prevent the child from causing trouble and causing injuries, Lu Miao called Xu Xiangxiang and took Bai Chuan to the small vegetable patch behind to water the tender sprouts.
In just two or three days, parasols, tables and chairs were placed on the terrace.
Small doors are also installed on the outer stairs, and rattan tables and rattan chairs are placed in the small outdoor tea room with a view below.
Lu Miao bought some beautiful vases.
During this period, I went back to Qingta Alley and picked up a lot of gardenia branches and brought them back for cuttings.
There are two in the main hall of the courtyard on the first floor.
There is one in each of the several study rooms.
There is also one placed on the table in the small tea room with a view.
Although it is just a simple green leaf, there are no buds.
But looking at the texture of the vase, and against the background of this Chinese-style courtyard, it also looks very interesting when you glance at the inside and outside of the house.
