Chapter 216 Oil Residue
Juanjuan and Liu Yueya's tied hair was loosened, and Bai Qiao and Si Ning used dry towels to wipe the two children's sweat-soaked hair.
Si Ning saw a box thrown in the trash can: "What is this?"
"It's the vanishing cream that Sister Yueya gave me." Juanjuan's little hands were rubbing her soft face.
"Then why did you lose it?" Si Ning said as he reached out to pick it up.
"Mrs. Miao, I threw it away. The fragrance was too strong." Liu Yueya stopped her outstretched hand.
Si Ning looked at the box in the trash can: "This should be Western vanishing cream, it must be expensive, and you just threw it away like that?"
"If it's not good, don't take it." Liu Yueya is very principled.
Juanjuan suddenly looked at Liu Yueya: "Sister Yueya, let's do it ourselves!"
"What?" Liu Yueya was a little confused, not knowing what she meant.
"Making vanishing cream!" Juanjuan said with a smile.
Liu Yueya frowned beautifully: "How do I do it?"
Juanjuan got up from the ground and went to look for something with his short legs.
Liu Yueya hurriedly caught up with her, not knowing what she was going to do.
"Bai Qiao, go and take a look." Si Ning ordered Bai Qiao to go and take a look.
Juanjuan stood in the hall and thought for a while, then ran to the kitchen: "Aunt Wu."
Wu Ma had bought some lard at the market today and was refining it. When she heard Juanjuan's voice, she turned around and said, "Miss, you can't come in."
She was really afraid that the food would get burned by frying.
Juanjuan stood obediently outside the kitchen door, her little nose twitching: "What a nice smell!"
Wu Ma was amused by her little appearance, and took out a small bowl of fried and slightly cooled oil residue and sprinkled some salt on it.
She walked over to Juanjuan and handed it to her: "Here."
"Thank you, Aunt Wu." Juanjuan took the small bowl with both hands and smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes curved.
Liu Yueya looked at the oil residue in her bowl, reached out and picked up a piece and put it to her mouth.
Juanjuan opened her little mouth and ate it, her eyes instantly lighting up: "It's delicious."
She passed some of the bowl to Liu Yueya: "Sister Yueya, have some."
Liu Yueya picked up a piece and took a bite.
"Miss Juanjuan, take it to the living room and eat it!" Aunt Wu started to chase people away, but she was still refining oil in the pot.
"Okay!" Juanjuan turned around with the bowl in her hand, walked a few steps and then stopped.
She handed the bowl to Baiqiao: "Sister Baiqiao, please help Juanjuan."
Bai Qiao reached out and took the bowl from her hand: "What's wrong?"
Juanjuan turned around and ran to the kitchen door again: "Aunt Wu."
Wu Ma turned around and saw her standing at the door again: "Miss Juanjuan, why are you back again?"
"Aunt Wu, I'm not here to eat." Juanjuan's little face wrinkled into a little bun.
"If you're not here to eat, then what are you looking for?" Aunt Wu looked into the pot and walked towards her.
"Juanjuan wants tea oil and wax." Juanjuan thought about it seriously.
Wu Ma didn't know what she wanted these things for. "We have tea oil, but the kitchen doesn't have beeswax. Can I ask Bai Qiao to find it for you?"
"Okay!" Juanjuan stood obediently at the door and looked at Wu Ma's back.
Aunt Wu found a bottle of tea oil from the cupboard and handed it to her at the door: "Do you need anything else?"
Juanjuan reached out and took the tea oil: "Thank you, Aunt Wu." Then she turned around and ran away.
"This child." Aunt Wu smiled and shook her head, then went back to busying herself with the things on the stove.
Bai Qiao looked at her holding the tea oil and said, "Miss, is this tea oil?"
"Yeah." Juanjuan returned to the living room with tea oil in her arms.
Si Ning looked at the thing in her hand: "Juanjuan wants to use this to make vanishing cream!"
Juanjuan shook her head and nodded again: "I also need wax, fragrant water and white powder."
"What are these?" Old Madam Si was confused.
"I know." Si Jinchen came over at some point.
"The wax is beeswax, right?" he asked, looking at Juanjuan.
"Yeah, yeah." Juanjuan nodded.
"What are that fragrant water and white powder?" Si Ning was a little confused.
"It should be my aunt's rose water and the pearl powder that Baiqiao ground before." Si Jinchen had seen them all before and had also heard Juanjuan call them that.
So as soon as she said it, I knew what it was.
"Bai Qiao, go to my room and get some rose water for Juanjuan." Si Ning directly ordered Bai Qiao to get the things.
Madam Si took out a piece of beeswax from her sewing basket and asked, "But what is the connection between this beeswax and vanishing cream?"
She looked at the hard object in her hand, which was used to sharpen needles when they made soles for shoes and clothes.
Now that I tell her that I can also make vanishing cream, she is a little confused.
"Mom, just think of it as playing with a few children. After all, these are not valuable things." Si Ning's main focus is that as long as one child likes it, it's fine.
Bai Qiao brought the rose water and the pearl powder she had ground earlier and placed them on the table.
Then everyone stared at these things in wide eyes, not knowing what to do.
"Aidundun, what should we do next?" Liu Yueya broke the silence.
"I don't know!" Juanjuan was eating the oil residue happily.
Old Madam Si looked troubled, it seemed that the child was just talking casually.
Liu Yueya looked at the things on the table, then at the box thrown into the trash can: "Grandma Si, did beeswax always look like this?"
"No, it melted and then solidified into this." Madam Si explained, looking at the beeswax in her hand.
"Can we melt it?" Liu Yueya asked.
"Sure." Madam Si said and asked Bai Qiao to go to the small kitchen and bring out a small stove, a small pot and two bowls.
She poured some water into the small pot, placed the bowl in the pot, then cut a small piece of beeswax with a knife and put it into the bowl, waiting for the temperature to melt the beeswax.
Juanjuan ate the oil residue in the bowl, and occasionally grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his soft mouth. Since Jizaizi couldn't finish it, he had to eat other things.
"Woof woof. This thing is delicious." Songsong was very satisfied.
"Woof. Delicious." Ruanruan stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.
"No more!" Juanjuan picked up the small bowl and saw that it was empty.
She felt a little unsatisfied, so she walked around the people who were studying beeswax with her small bowl, and ran to the kitchen with Songsongruanruan to find some oil residue to eat.
When Wu Ma saw her coming again, this time with two little followers, she became even more worried: "What are you going to do this time?"
Juanjuan handed her the bowl with his greasy little hands: "I want more."
Aunt Wu looked at her own hands and the bowl, both of which were still stained with dog hair, and then looked at the oil stains on the lips of the two dogs. What else was there to understand?
This is shared with these two again.
"Can I wash your hands first, and then I can dress you two separately?"
"Okay." Juanjuan followed her obediently to wash her hands.
Mother Wu took out the fried food and filled a small bowl for Juanjuan again, but the amount was not much.
He put more food in the soft bowl and said, "You can't eat anymore after this. Otherwise, your throat will hurt and you'll need medicine and injections."
