Extracting plant pigment is quite easy. Yu Xiaolian had Zhao Erya and Zhao Sanyan wash the fresh red and blue petals clean, then finely crush them with a mortar and pestle, and use fine gauze to filter out the residue.
"Once this juice is dried, and a bit of rose essential oil is added, it becomes rouge."
Because she used gauze to squeeze out the petal juice, Yu Xiaolian's hands were stained red.
Though she had disposable plastic gloves in her space, Yu Xiaolian found it inconvenient to take them out since they were plastic products, especially with two granddaughters and a great-granddaughter from Sun Siye's family arriving shortly.
"Sister Xiaolian, you're amazing!" Zhao Sanyan exclaimed in awe as she looked at the extracted red pigment, clear and bright.
Yu Xiaolian was busy working with Zhao Erya and Zhao Sanyan.
When Sun Mancang arrived with Sun Feixue and the others, Yu Xiaolian felt as if she had found saviors.
