The production department today shared and compiled a work created by sc-guoqing.
The leaf vein bookmark thing is to remove the mesophyll of the leaves, leaving only the veins, dye it, tie it with a ribbon, and use it as a bookmark to look good in a book. The method is to boil them in alkaline water. Of course, the leaves are also particular. For ordinary leaves, either the veins are too tender and the mesophyll will rot together with the mesophyll as soon as they are boiled in alkaline water. As far as I know, the leaves of the osmanthus tree or tea tree are the best. Tea trees are not as common as osmanthus trees. Here we will take the osmanthus trees as an example to demonstrate.
Picked leaves
Edible alkali can be bought in the general grocery market for one yuan. a pack
Put it in the pot, here for It is convenient to take pictures. I used a pot with a relatively large mouth. In fact, I should use a small milk pot to concentrate the firepower.
Put in alkali, the ratio is not the same Fixed number, the more the better
Add water and cook. It is best to cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. , then simmer
It’s not enough to cook it like this. Cook until the soup is the same color as Chinese medicine
After cooking to this color, use a brush Brush, it’s best to get a new toothbrush, so that others won’t think it’s dirty.
Brush ING! When the veins are not exposed, you need to be aggressive. When the veins are exposed, you need to be careful and gentle. Try to retain the mesophyll on the petiole. This way Better looking
Wash with clean water while brushing
Even cooking and brushing, it took a while It took me two hours and four leaves came out. This was the most successful thing I have ever done. Put them in a piece of absorbent paper, put them in a thick book and press them to dry.
Then there is coloring, which is actually practical Colored liquids, such as red ink, are best soaked entirely. For the convenience of emergencies and taking pictures, I painted it here with a pen. Applying with a pen may damage the veins of the leaves, and it is not easy to apply evenly, so I found two pieces that had failed before as examples.
FinallyThe first step is to press it dry and tie a ribbon on the petiole, so I will omit it.
Done, not bad
