Chapter 198 Secret Recipe
Chu Hong said, "I still have to go to the city to buy some white vinegar, alcohol, ammonia, and turpentine to try and see which one works best."
He couldn't help but ask Gu Ci, "How does Mr. Chu know so much? I remember he is a professor of economics and trade, right?"
There were no outsiders at home, so Gu Ci did not hide the fact: "There are also professors from the Department of Physics who are together, and they like to do these little experiments."
Secretary Song cried out, "I forgot to tell you that Comrade He gave birth to a daughter two days ago. Should we take some things and go take a look?"
Although Chu Dan worked as a nanny in the He family, the He family was also generous to them. Every time Chu Dan went home, she brought a lot of bags, and she didn't have to spend any money, as they were all prepared by the He family.
What's more, when Chu Hong and Gu Ci got married, they also came to give gifts.
Wu Xiu said, "Don't worry. If the mildew spots on these fabrics can be removed, they can be used as gifts."
"If you can't get rid of it, then give me eggs."
Chu Tong said, "Earlier, Chu Hong had asked me to pick out off-white and light blue from the fabrics she brought back and make two small dresses. Adding some eggs should be enough."
Secretary Song was very satisfied after hearing this: "That's right, you sisters should discuss more about the interpersonal relationships in the family."
Chu Tong agreed and asked Chu Hong, "Second Aunt should be giving birth soon. Let's pick some of these cloths and make two sets of clothes, right?"
As long as she is not asked to make small clothes, Chu Hong will not have any objections and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Wu Xiu couldn't help but glance at Chu Hong's belly and said, "Chu Hong, you should also learn how to make clothes for your baby from your elder sister. You can't rely on your elder sister for everything after you give birth to a baby, right?"
The couple has a good relationship and should be able to get pregnant soon.
After Xiao Zhong and Chu Hong got married, they had a good relationship, but unfortunately Chu Hong was not pregnant.
At first she was worried that Chu Hong might have some problem.
Fortunately, Doctor Jia later took care of his daughter's health and said that Chu Hong was fine.
She thought that by the end of this year or next year, Chu Hong would have good news.
Gu Ci felt warm in his heart, he also wanted to have a son and a daughter.
Of course the most important thing now is that the process before having a son or daughter has not happened yet, so where do the children come from?
But it doesn’t matter. By this time next year, Chu Hong might be pregnant.
Chu Hong, however, refused wholeheartedly.
The thing she is least good at is manual work. Not to mention the current foot-operated sewing machines, she can't even use an electric sewing machine.
Fortunately, she is thick-skinned and doesn't blush: "Mom, I don't need to learn at all. My eldest sister knows how to do it, which means I know how to do it."
Chu Tong also said: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to learn. She is very busy now. Besides, we have a sewing machine at home now, so it's very fast to make clothes."
Especially the new sewing machine, which was placed in her room, made her very happy.
Chu Hong was very busy. She rode her bicycle to the city in the afternoon and went to several supply and marketing cooperatives before finally buying what she needed.
After returning home, I started the experiment according to what Lao Chu wrote.
If there are some small mold spots, they will fade away after rubbing them once with turpentine water, and all the mold spots will be washed away after rubbing them twice.
Because turpentine is the cheapest and most common.
Turpentine is turpentine oil, which mainly comes from the resin of pine trees.
In addition to removing mildew stains, it can also dilute paint or other items stained by oil.
However, turpentine is somewhat toxic and inhaling excessive amounts may cause damage to the respiratory tract.
It is best to take protective measures, wear a mask and gloves, and use it in a well-ventilated environment.
For some stubborn mildew stains, use white vinegar, alcohol and ammonia water alternately to clean them.
Chu Hong also wrote down the entire process clearly in a notebook and prepared to send the notebook to He Wen.
She felt that since the rainy season comes every year, there would probably be a lot of moldy fabrics. He Wen's parents also work in a textile factory, so if they could be put to use, it might be considered a meritorious service.
This can be considered a give-and-take relationship.
Even if they don't hand it over to the factory, they can buy back all the moldy fabrics later and remove the mold stains. It will be very cost-effective whether they use them themselves or trade them privately.
After all, this moldy fabric is cheaper than defective fabric, right?
This time, most of the mildew stains on the fabric were removed, enough for their family to use for many years.
Chu Hong was also worried that the color of the cotton cloth would not look good if it was kept for a long time, so she planned to sell it as soon as possible.
Everyone in the family made new clothes and gave more than 20 feet of cloth to the He family. He also spread the news to the villagers, and all the cotton cloth was sold out within two days.
Before Chu Hong sent the notebook out, she asked Gu Ci to handcopy one for her as a backup.
Let’s talk about He Wen.
When the textile factory got off work, He Wen and her mother went home together.
He Wen bought so many moldy fabrics and spent more than a hundred yuan including the postage, which was equivalent to spending three months' salary.
Mother He felt that her daughter was too honest and felt sorry for the money that was wasted. She took the opportunity to persuade her in a low voice: "Even if they helped you a lot, your grandparents also bought them a lot of good things. You should not be so extravagant with your money in the future."
"You're not young anymore. You're going to find a partner and get married soon. You need to save money."
Of course He Wen felt distressed, but she still said: "Chu Hong is a good person, and I was willing to give it to her."
Mother He tapped her daughter's head and said, "Do you want to piss me off to death? You've never been so generous in buying things for your own mother."
He Wen hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Wait until I save a few more months of salary, I will go to the Friendship Mall to buy a woolen sweater for you and my dad."
The wool sweaters sold at Friendship Department Store are really good, but they are expensive, at least over a hundred dollars each.
Even before she touched the edge of the sweater, Mother He was already smiling, pretending to be unhappy and scolding her: "I just told you to be frugal, but you're spending money lavishly again."
When the mother and daughter reached the guard room, they were stopped by the guard: "Director Ma, there is a package for He Wen from your family. Come over here and sign for it."
Mother He’s surname is Ma, and she is the director of the Quality Inspection Department.
Hearing this, he glanced at his daughter and wondered, "Who would send you a package?"
Even though she often urges her daughter to find a partner and get married.
But Mother He felt that her daughter was still young and naive, and she was afraid that she would be deceived by others.
So the management is a bit strict.
When he heard that there was a package for his daughter, he was worried that his daughter might be having some secret relationship with another man.
He Wen was very happy: "It must have been sent to me by Chu Hong."
Mother He followed them and saw that the package was very small. She felt that the Song family was a little stingy.
My daughter sent them a big package, and it wasn't charged. It was all free.
It's a shame they had the nerve to send such a small package.
When she got home, He Wen happily opened the package and found a letter, a notebook, and bags of dried vegetables inside.
