Chapter 27 Home-made Cotton Flicking
"Then I won't be polite. I happened to bring some wine, let's drink together!" Xiao Tuan said as he handed a bag of pears to Gu Jianguo, "Give it to your boys to try."
Fruits are not cheap these days. Gu Jianguo was about to say no when he saw Xiao Tuan's insistence and simply took it back.
After entering the main room, some introductions were inevitable.
After sitting down, Xiao Tuan saw the braised rabbit and potatoes on the table and exclaimed that the trip was worth it.
The rabbit meat has a delicious taste, the meat is firm yet tender, with a hint of bacon.
The potatoes that have absorbed the gravy are soft, sticky and sweet, and the mellow sauce flavor perfectly combines the rabbit meat and potatoes, making people eat one bite after another and can't stop at all.
Su Mingyuan exclaimed that it was delicious, saying that the sister's cooking skills were much better than the chef in their cafeteria.
It’s the same meat, but the way Su Mingmei cooks it tastes different.
Of course, it may also be that the rabbit is fat and has plenty of fat, so it tastes better when roasted.
Gu Jinze and his friends took a bite of the rabbit meat and found it so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues.
"Wow, I've never eaten such delicious potatoes!" Gu Jinan screamed excitedly.
"Of course it tastes good when stewed with meat!" Dong Yulan said with a smile.
Gu Qiqi closed her eyes in the cradle. She couldn’t bite it anyway, so she just went to sleep. She could dream about anything!
The heavy snow outside was still falling.
After dinner, Dong Yulan helped her daughter clean up the dishes.
Dong Yulan and Su Qingshan slept in Gu Qiqi's room. The 1.5-meter-long bed that Gu Jianguo had asked the carpenter to make had been delivered.
You can just spread out the bedding and sleep.
Su Mingyuan slept with Gu Jinze.
The three bags of cotton happened to be placed in Gu Qiqi's room.
Under the dim light, the cotton bulging out of the sack was as white as snow, and it was particularly eye-catching indoors.
"Oh my god, why are there so much cotton?" Dong Yulan's attention was immediately attracted by the three bulging sacks of cotton in the corner.
When her daughter said there was cotton, she thought her son-in-law was very capable and must have gotten a few kilograms from somewhere!
Three large sacks full of cotton, I guess it's not just a matter of great skill!
"The quality of this cotton is really good!" Su Mingyuan, who came in with them, touched the cotton in his hand, his eyes lit up.
He had worked in the cotton mill for two years and had never seen such good cotton.
"Sister, where did you get this cotton? Do you have a purchasing channel?" Su Mingyuan stared at Su Mingmei with excitement on his face.
Su Mingmei's eyes flashed: "This was also a coincidence that I exchanged it with an old farmer. That's all he had, and he gave it all to me. I don't even know where he lives!"
"Well, it's a pity to waste such good cotton. If the quantity is large, our cotton mill can cooperate with him!" Su Mingyuan shrugged somewhat disappointedly.
"Mingyuan has to go back to the factory tomorrow, and he can take the army's procurement vehicle. Go to bed early!" Gu Jianguo heard them discussing cotton outside the door, and quickly changed the subject and reminded them.
"Sorry to trouble you, brother-in-law. I'm going to sleep now!" Su Mingyuan respected his brother-in-law very much and went to sleep quickly.
"Mom and Dad, you'll have to put up with it tonight. Let's make the quilt tomorrow!"
There are not many quilts at home, and some of them are the kind that have become hard after being used for several years and are not warm at all.
Afraid that the two elders would catch a cold, Su Mingmei took the quilt from her bed.
She originally thought that there was a lot of cotton, but now she looks at it and feels that it is not enough. If there was enough cotton, she would like to replace even the mattress pad and quilt.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep.
Gu Qiqi flashed into the space and picked a new round of cotton. Watching the cotton branches wither, soften and merge into the soil, she casually peeled off the cotton seeds and re-sown them.
She placed the freshly picked cotton on the grass in the space and did not rush to dehydrate it.
After doing all this, Gu Qiqi lay on the grass and began to practice.
The next morning, Gu Jianguo sent Su Mingyuan to the canteen's purchasing cart and repeatedly told Su Mingyuan to take good care of himself.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law. I'm not a child anymore. I can solve any problem myself!" Su Mingyuan vowed.
With the experience of his previous life, he will never let himself be schemed against by others in this life!
Su Mingyuan's eyes flashed with cruelty...
No rush. As long as nothing happens to his sister's family, he will have plenty of time to slowly take revenge...
He is not a saint and cannot forgive easily!
Even though what happened in the previous life has not happened in this life yet, those who have hurt him and his parents must be punished!
"You, forget it...remember to call the army if you have anything!"
Something flashed in his brother-in-law's eyes so quickly that he couldn't catch it.
Gu Jianguo frowned and emphasized again!
Su Mingyuan got on the purchasing truck, waved to Gu Jianguo, and looked ahead with an extremely determined look!
Gu Jianguo went out on a mission after having breakfast at home.
Su Qingshan helped to take down the two door panels of the main room and placed them in the middle of the room with a bench.
Place a cloth over the door panel.
While Su Mingmei and Dong Yulan were spreading the cotton layer by layer, Su Qingshan was making his own cotton bow.
Su Qingshan learned carpentry for a few years when he was young, so it was not difficult for him to make a simple flower bow.
The difficult part lies in the selection of materials. The bow is made of fir wood, and the best material for the string is usually beef tendon. Without beef tendon, Su Qingshan can only use nylon rope instead.
By the time Su Mingmei and the others had laid out the cotton, Su Qingshan's cotton bow was almost ready.
The cotton grown in the secret space is of high quality, almost every cotton flower is snow-white and fluffy, without a trace of impurities.
Su Qingshan exclaimed that the cotton was really good, then he started to play with the cotton with the bow in one hand and the hammer in the other, surrounded by Gu Jinze and the others.
Gu Qiqi has woken up, with her little head tilted up.
It was the first time she had seen the 1970s-era home-made cotton-fluffing machine, and her face was filled with curiosity.
"Oh, our girl is awake. She's so smart with her little eyes upturned!" Dong Yulan walked forward happily.
"Mom, let me do it!" Su Mingmei was one step faster than her. She skillfully wrapped Qibao in a small quilt, and after changing her diaper, she handed her to Dong Yulan's arms.
Gu Qiqi, who was held by her grandma, looked directly at the door panel in the middle of the main room. The snow-white cotton on it looked like large patches of clouds in the sky, and it looked soft.
Cotton-fluffing is a technical job. Su Qingshan had seen fellow villagers do it before. Plus, he was patient and meticulous in his work, so he got the hang of it in no time.
Gu Qiqi looked at the white cotton flowers becoming more fluffy under Su Qingshan's hands, and couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the working people.
In fact, her mental strength could solve all of this, but it was too tiring for her infant body.
Fortunately, grandpa is here!
Gu Jianguo’s mission was to go to the nearby village for rescue.
The snow on the road was even deeper this time, almost up to my thighs...
A group of dozens of people were struggling to walk in the snow.
