Chapter 402 The effect of rice grains

She was very careful, and she even took a handkerchief to help wipe off the painting ink on Chu Jin's desk before leaving.

Chu Heng saw that his daughter was sensible and careful, and a flash of relief flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly remembered Ziluo who was spoiled by Mrs. Ye in her previous life, how could Ziluo now be comparable.

He couldn't help being grateful and satisfied. Looking at the tea in front of him, he stirred it with a wooden spoon for a while, and then took a sip. The sweet and sour taste lingered in his mouth.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Outside, Ye Muyu is changing the outer clothes and apron at the moment.

When I was doing ink in the afternoon, I got a lot of ink on my hands and apron.

After she took off her apron, she soaked it in the wooden basin next to the well, and was about to put the saponins in it.

Mr. Hu happened to come out of the kitchen, saw her movement, and hurried over to stop her.

"Ma'am, do you want to do laundry?" Hu whispered.

Ye Muyu nodded: "Well, I got a lot of ink on my apron this afternoon, and I plan to soak it for a while before washing it."

"Although it's not too cold at night, Ma'am is not in good health, so don't touch raw water."

"There is also this saponin, soaked in it, it will be consumed quickly, and the ink will not be washed away. After a while, the servant will get some steamed rice grains, rub it on the ink drop, and it will be washed away slowly." Hu said to Ye Muyu with a smile.

Ye Muyu only knows some methods of washing ink with chemicals, but has never heard of such simple methods.

A little curious: "Can it really be washed off?"

"Yes, I have heard from other women before. I think the ink droplets on the woman's apron are not large, so it is easy to scrub and clean it. If the area is too large, the servant cannot guarantee that it can be cleaned."

Ye Muyu understood that the rice grains had some effect, but the effect was limited, but it was enough to wash her apron clean.

"Ms. Hu, you know a lot, that's great." Ye Muyu praised with a smile.

While Mrs. Hu dares to be proud, she is glad that she can be used by his wife. The more useful she is, the more confident she can stay in the Chu family.

"Madam, I will try my best to learn more crafts in the future." Mrs. Hu took the wooden basin and helped to soak it in hot water first.

Ye Muyu then took a small stool and sat beside the tub.

imitated Hu's rubbing cloth with rice grains.

It was slowly getting dark, and oil lamps were lit in the study.

Chu Ziluo had seen Aunt Hu and her mother washing clothes, so she ran to the main room with Nen Ya, took the oil lamp, and Nen Ya came out with a high stool.

Put the stool next to the tub, put the oil lamp on the stool, and there will be light in an instant.

"Thank you, Ziluo." Ye Muyu smiled slightly.

"Mom, I don't work hard, is there anything I can do?" Chu Ziluo squatted beside her, and because of the pants she was wearing, she didn't worry about her skirt getting wet on the ground.

"No, it's just such a piece of clothing, it's enough for my mother and Mrs. Hu to finish washing."

Chu Ziluo groaned after listening, thought for a while, and took out the small Buddhist bead bracelet on her wrist.

"Mother, this is given to me by my little brother."

Ye Muyu heard the words, looked over, and saw at a glance that the beads were made of sandalwood. Although the beads were not big, they were well crafted. If they were sold, the price should not be less than twenty taels.

Ye Muyu's eyes flickered: "Did he tell you about the origin of this Buddhist bead?"

"No, I asked my little brother, and he said it's not expensive, so I'm afraid it's too expensive, so I'm sorry to accept it." Chu Ziluo said.

When Ye Muyu heard it, she knew how to measure, and she was not bad.
