In the past few days, the two of them have also had a lot of success. In fact, in a mountain gully, Li Mai found a few wild grape seedlings. Because they lacked nutrients, water, and trellises, the grapes did not grow very big and were greenish.
She dug up the quinoa and had Xu Changhuan help cover it up. She stored it all in her space, planning to plant it that night to see if she could cultivate grape seedlings suitable for the northern soil.
Gu Zhe had given her some grape seedlings before, but they could survive in the space, but they wouldn't survive once planted in the soil. And she couldn't keep watering them with spiritual spring water all the time. Her spiritual spring water was only exported to the outside world in three bowls, so it was very precious.
Li Mai was delighted with this discovery.
Besides this, they also discovered a wisteria tree, which was in season when its fruit was ripe. Li Mai called on everyone to help collect the wisteria pods to scatter in the courtyard of the mansion next spring.
Ancient wisteria trees are very beautiful in landscaping.
This is a wonderful thing; not only is it beautiful to look at, but its flowers also have a pleasant fragrance and can be used as a dye.
The dyeing book records that wisteria flowers can be used for dyeing, with alum as the mordant. Silk will be dyed yellowish-green, and cotton will be dyed light green.
When ferrous sulfate is used as a mordant, silk is dyed a light grayish-green, while cotton is dyed a grayish-green.
After collecting all the wisteria pods they encountered, Li Mai asked Zhou Quan to help her prune some wisteria branches, which she then stored in her spatial storage when no one was around.
You can try propagating this on other trees when you get back to see if it works.
According to the information in her mind, there is a cultivation method called cuttings.
In short, they returned from this trip with a lot of success, and everyone was very happy.
The kids didn't mention raising pets again after they got back.
In early September, the embroidery workshop finished making several cloth dolls based on Li Mai's drawings.
The collection includes about a dozen fabric dolls, such as an orange fox, a white wolf, a golden monkey, a black and white panda, a pink pig, and a brown bear, all about one and a half feet long.
Back at the mansion, the children were told to come to the carriage to collect their toys. As Zhou Quan took one out, the children exclaimed with delight. He took another out, and they exclaimed again.
Li Mai was amused by their adorable appearance.
"One for each of you. Take them home and choose whichever you like. Remember to save one for Nianbao and Rongbao. You can give them one another day. Don't forget your sister Nannan and brother Dongdong's too."
Li Mai gave instructions to the three treasures.
The three happily agreed, each carrying two, and followed Zhou Quan, who was also carrying two more, into the house.
Li Mai followed behind them with a smile, and seeing them happy made her feel happy and blessed as well.
In Li Mai's hands was a cloth doll for Zhu Zhu, a cute cat plush toy, as Zhu Zhu has always loved cats.
As they went in, Zhuzhu came out to greet them. She had come back a little earlier today, and when she saw her mother carrying a large plush cat in her arms, her eyes lit up. She had just seen her younger brothers and father carrying several things inside. She had come out to help carry things, but then she saw her mother slowly coming in carrying a plush cat.
"Mom, is this a kitten?" Zhuzhu greeted her happily. Now seven years old, she already had the shy demeanor of a young girl, but her eyes were still bright and sparkling, just as cute and devout as when she looked at her as a child.
Li Mai chuckled and hummed in agreement, "Hmm, you really are a cat lover. You can even imagine a cat's appearance from such an abstract design?"
"Hmm, Mother, have you forgotten? When I was five years old, you designed a hair ornament for me with a cat head like this on it. You told me that it was a cat."
Li Mai smiled and remembered; this child was truly thoughtful.
"Here, this is for you. As for the ones your dad and the others are holding, let them divide them up," Li Mai said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mother!" Zhuzhu said happily, taking her own and following Limai obediently.
However, when Zhuzhu saw Yanbao almost fall while walking ahead, she appeared behind Yanbao with a thought and supported her. "Yanbao, slow down, or should I help you get one?"
"Zhuzhu asked softly."
"Okay, thank you, sister!" Yanbao was a little tired from carrying the two, so she naturally gave them to her sister when she arrived.
Seeing this, Li Mai smiled again.
Back inside, Zhuzhu asked, "Mom, is this fabric craft? Do you sell it in our fabric shop?"
“Yes,” Li Mai nodded, “but don’t worry, your size is unique. The ones we sell are much smaller than yours, about half the size.”
Hearing that the ones being sold were half the size of theirs, the children immediately felt that they were being pampered by their mother. They were happy, picked out their own, and put the others away, waiting to take them over when they went over there.
This autumn, the Red Pomegranate Fabric Workshop became popular again. I heard they released about ten different fabric dolls, which are very cute and any child would love.
So those who love their children went to see it, and not only did the children like it, but the adults liked it too!
There are several different styles of dolls, in three sizes. The key question is, how can the animal prototypes be made so cute and lovable when they are so scary?
Just because it's unique and rare, I bought it. It wasn't expensive at all, only one or two taels of silver each. For a wealthy person, that's really not expensive.
The Pei and Yue families didn't receive any lychee to make it, so they didn't dare to. Pei Jing and Yue Xiu were just waiting for their master to give the order. They figured they would have to wait until Hong Shiliu finished her first bite of hot food before it was their turn.
