239 Plum Banquet
Young Master Yan Jiu's Mei can be painted with a few strokes, and everyone is spread in front of them to appreciate it, seeing the sparse branches and clear and strange, the flowers are like stars, and they are very detached, Yan Qi praised his younger brother: "Seeing people with paintings, there is no complexity in the pen, and there is a clear air in the chest." "Well, see people with paintings. Wu Yue glanced at Yan Qi.
"Yes, see people with paintings. Yan Qi also glanced at her. The mountain and ape in "Early White Emperor City" don't know what kind of personality they can see. Lu Rong said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu's plum has reached the realm of 'I can't realize the pen'. "What does it mean to be unable to write?" Wu Yue humbly asked for advice.
It means that the painting is expensive and subtle, and although the pen has not arrived, it can be obtained in the artistic conception. The so-called 'intention is to put the pen first, and the painting is intended to be, although the pen is not thoughtful and the intention is also thoughtful. The relationship between the meaning and the pen is the relationship between the virtual and the real, and the real place with the pen is seen in the virtual, and the virtual place is real, which is the wonder of the whole body. Lu Rong said.
"Then I'm already psychic," Yan Qidao, "I can make up the whole picture by staring at the drawing paper, you see," he said, pointing to a blank piece of paper, "This is a picture of Wanmei, I have arrived, but the pen has not arrived, how do you see my drawing?"
Wu Yue almost died of laughter, and pointed to another piece of white paper and said, "How about the sea chart of the crowds I drew?"
"Wonderful, even everyone's facial features are there, look at the person who is so cold that he has a snot on his face. "Yan Qidao.
"You also paint this plum well, I counted it, and sure enough, there are 10,000 trees, one is not a lot!" Wu Yue said.
"This world can't stop the painting skills of the two of us, and the painting competition of Ming'er Academy must be the world of you and me. Yan Qi sighed.
Lu Rong was amused by these two people and leaned back and forth, Cui Xi also kept writing heavily, Young Master Yan Jiu tilted his head with his chin propped up, and his face was as "looking at my sister as a demon" as always, and his eyes were soft only occasionally flashing.
"Speaking of the painting competition, Xiao Jiu must be recommended to participate in the individual competition, right?" Lu Rong took out a handkerchief and pressed the tears from the corner of his eyes with laughter, and asked Young Master Yan Jiu. The painting competition of the college is divided into individual competition and group competition, and each class must participate in the collective competition, and the individual competition is recommended by the painting artist of each class to participate in three places.
"Hmm. Young Master Yan Jiu responded slowly.
"I heard that the collective competition is the whole class working together to complete a painting?" Wu Yue said busily, "This is not good, only the three of us can draw like that together, there are more than ten people in the class, and the painting style is different, what will it look like if this is drawn together!"
Lu Rong smiled: "Don't worry, it's not that the whole class paints the same and I paint the same composite painting, but each class draws a topic, and then draws a paragraph on the 100-meter-long scroll, just like four screens, eight screens, and twelve screens, it doesn't matter if the painting style is different, because each scene is its own one, just like Liu Songnian's four landscapes, a total of four, which are the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter, so we will not be affected by each other in any way." β
"Well, then I'm the one who dragged my feet. Wu Yue sighed, "If there is any quick way to be opportunistic, for example, if you want to draw a fish, I will directly take a fish and dip it in ink and slap it on the paper, and the fish will be drawn with a pop." β
β¦β¦ There is no one in this brain hole, and the wisdom of the scumbag is infinite in order to survive!"In fact, it may not be impossible," Lu Rong said with a smile, "It is also common to use auxiliary tools when painting, and you don't necessarily have to use a pen, if you are not afraid of people's jokes, it is not a foul to think about it with a fish, but I am afraid that the effect of printing may not be good." β
"Then what can you do without a pen?" Wu Yue hurriedly asked.
"With your hands. Lu Lotus stretched out a finger, took a piece of paper, first took a pen dipped in ink and drew a few plum branches on the paper, and then lightly dipped some cinnabar for painting with the belly of his little finger, and counted on the paper, and the pretty plum blossoms jumped on the paper.
"Ah, that's interesting!" Seeing this, Wu Yue also reached out to dip the cinnabar, but the person used her little finger, she used her thumb, and pressed a few full finger prints, and a huge red flower bloomed on the plum branch.
ββ¦β¦ The plum blossom lady gave birth to a giant baby. "Yan Qidao.
"Hahaha!" Wu Yue laughed wildly, "Is there anything else?"
"Ask Xiao Jiu, he is an expert. Lu Rong said with a smile.
"Yan Jiuye, teach me quickly. Wu Yue pushed the old-fashioned child sitting next to him.
Young Master Yan Jiu had to speak slowly: "Blowing ink can also be a painting." β
"How do you blow it?" Wu Yue hurriedly asked.
Young Master Yan Jiu took the ink and dripped it on the paper, pursed his lips and blew it, and the ink seemed to have life, and suddenly stretched out countless branches, blowing and blowing, and a plum tree with strange branches appeared in front of him.
"Oh my God, it's amazing!" Wu Yue was dumbfounded and amazed, and it took a while to come back to his senses from the magical art world, "I can't do this, blowing and blowing and blowing into a spider's web." Anything else?"
"If you use an aid, you can try to use food. It was Cui Xi who spoke, looking at Wu Yue with a smile.
"Use vegetables?!" Wu Yue was even more surprised this time, he had never heard of being able to draw with vegetables!"What kind of dishes can you use?!" Yan Qi asked.
"Yes. Cui Xi smiled and nodded. Yan Qi asked Boiling Yu to go to the room to ask for cabbage, and after half an hour, Boiling Rain took a slightly smaller one back, and it was frozen.
Cui Xi took it in his hand, cut off the root with a knife, and then dipped the cross-section of the cut root in the cinnabar box, and then pressed it towards the paper, took it away, and a big, complex and gorgeous flower bloomed on the paper!
"Wow, it's so beautiful! it's so good!" Wu Yue was about to jump up, took the paper and looked at it for a long time, "It's just like a real flower!
I took the root and dipped it in cinnabar, pressed it on the paper, like a stamp, and the flowers bloomed one after another.
"It turns out that seemingly ordinary vegetables have such a beautiful function. Lu Rong couldn't help but admire when he watched from the side, and the important thing is that someone can discover the beauty hidden in the most ordinary and inconspicuous things, which is the most rare place.
"Can other dishes be used in this way?" Wu Yue asked Cui Xi with starry eyes. "You can try it when you go back. Cui Xi said with a smile.
"Great! I've learned it today! When I go home, I can use all kinds of vegetables to dip them in different colors, and they can be printed on paper as flower notes!" Wu Yue felt that he had been opened to a new world today, and this new world was full of flowers.
"Then it's finally me," Yan Qidao, "I'll teach you how to draw a vivid copper coin in a moment, do you want to learn?"
"For the sake of your sincerity, I'll listen to it reluctantly. Wu Yue said.
Yan Qi first asked for a copper coin from Boiling Yu, then got up and went to get a piece of olive pit charcoal and came back, put the copper coin under the paper, and then used charcoal to paint on the copper coin through the paper: "Okay, I can't even use dozens of efforts, how about it, is it realistic?"
Wu Yue: "......"
"Xiao Qi's method reminds me of another one," Cui Xi said with a smile, "Make a hand-held roller, engrave a pattern on the roller, and then dip it in paint and roll it on the white wall, then you can print a continuous and neat pattern." β
"This is good," Yan Qidao said, "You can first brush a layer of plum blossom powder paint on the wall of the bedroom, and then use a roller carved with the shape of a plum blossom dipped in white lacquer mixed with mica to print the plum blossoms, and as soon as the sun shines in, the plum blossoms are all bright." β
ββ¦β¦ Then aren't you going to collide with the wall?" Young Master Yan Jiu slowly inserted the knife.
Wu Yue: "Hahahaha!"
Lu Rong said with a smile: "Xiao Qi's thoughts are indeed very good, and the lacquer can also be mixed with plum blossom spices, and the house will be full of plum blossom flavor." β
"You guys say I want to try it seriously," Wu Yue said, "Think about how beautiful it would be to paint the walls of the house with colors and patterns!
ββ¦β¦ Instead of this, you can just live in the arsenal, and you still need to be so troublesome?" Yan Qidao.
ββ¦β¦ What if I fall asleep and turn over and get pierced by the tip of the sword?!" Wu Yue pounced and scratched Yan Qi.
"You sleep in armor and a shield, what is missing in the arsenal?" Yan Qidao.
Lu Rong was about to laugh.
Just as she was laughing, a little girl came in and said, "Girl, the big kitchen has sent pickled meat, can you start the stove this time?"
"When I got up, I was hungry with laughter. Wu Yue said busily.
The girls were busy in the next room, and the people washed their hands with warm water before they ran over, and saw that there were two large pieces of venison with steel fork skewers on the stove, and there was also mutton roasted on the barbed wire mesh, and the bottom of the stove was burning fruit charcoal, and there was a faint fruity fragrance, and several girls were successively bringing out the dishes from the food box to the table next to them, large plates and small plates, meat and vegetables were suitable.
Finally, there is a jar of plum blossom sake brought by four branches from Banyuanju, and the wine is put here, but people don't leave, just stand in the corner, smiling and watching these young masters and ladies feast.
Several people poured a cup of plum blossom brew first, raised it and clinked glasses, Wu Yue shouted: "I hope that every day in the future can be as happy and worry-free as today!"
Lu Rong said with a smile: "May our friendship last forever." β
Yan Qi: "!"
Everyone: "......"
"Don't make a fuss, it's your turn!" Wu Yue poked her with her finger.
"Both of my wishes have been rushed by the two of you, what else do I have to say?" Yan Qidao.
"That's what I have to say!"
"Well, may both of your wishes come true!"
ββ¦β¦β
"May Xiao Qi's wishes come true. Cui Xi said with a smile.
"Hey, you two!" Wu Yue shouted, and turned to glare at Young Master Yan Jiu, "You are not allowed to learn from them again!"
Young Master Yan Jiu swallowed slowly: "I wish everyone well." β
"How unpretentious. Yan Qi boasted.
ββ¦β¦ Enough!"Wu Yue didn't want to talk to these teasers anymore, so he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, "Good wine!
"Green calyx white plum wine, made by the old man himself. Shieda smiled and added notes.
"Uncle Yan really has Yaxing, leave my father alone, and will only let people drink the roughest and spiciest wine from outside, except for choking, let alone the aftertaste. Wu Yue shook his head and sighed, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and saw that they were all black stoneware plates, the amount of each dish was not too large, there were many kinds of expensive and good taste, first sandwiched the smoked bamboo shoots to taste, the taste was clear and thick, the bamboo shoots were fragrant with meat, I thought it was cooked in the broth and then smoked dry with charcoal, and I didn't feel that I had four or five pieces in a row.
"Your favorite sugar ginger. Yan Qi gave Wu Yue a dish, sugar ginger is a tender ginger boiled in sugar, slightly added plum marinade, it tastes slightly spicy and slightly sweet, and it is a beautiful thing to eat with dry food snacks, so he gave Wu Yue a fried taro slices, Wu Yue tasted it, and even said that it was delicious, and took a closer look, and saw that the taro slices that were fried to golden brown were also sprinkled with quirk and almond pieces, which were charred on the outside and soft on the inside, and were very sweet, and he said straightly: "This thing is also good for wine!" Urging everyone to do the second cup one after another.
Sizhi was not idle next to him, seeing that the meat on the stove was almost roasted, he turned the meat over and brushed it with a layer of salt water and continued to roast it, Wu Yue saw it, and asked Yan Qi who this person was, Yan Qi said: "Sizhi, specialize in my uncle's meal." β
It's too particular, in addition to the big kitchen, there are special subordinates to take care of the meal, Wu Yue sighed secretly, and heard Yan Qi add another sentence: "Today, these dishes are all made by my uncle and asked Sizhi to cook." β
"Then I want to eat more!" Wu Yue said busily, the dishes that the uncle of the Yan family asked him to cook were not delicious.
Because there is barbecue to eat, the table dishes are mainly light and vegetarian, Lu Lotus likes to eat jasmine leaf stewed tofu, Cui Xi loves to eat preserved plum blossoms, preserved plum blossoms are also Yan Zike's table dishes, but not made of plum blossoms, but cut the chestnut and olive into thin slices and mix together, only add a little salt to make it, because there is the flavor of plum blossoms when entering together, so it is called preserved plum blossoms, especially clear mouth.
There are no plum blossoms in the plum blossom meat that Yan Qi sandwiches for Young Master Yan Jiu, but it is stewed with mutton, shrimp, ham, mushrooms, walnut consommΓ©, and plum tomato, lotus seed wrap, poached chestnut, glutinous rice chicken balls and crab stuffed orange.
First cut off the top of the big orange that is ripe and ripe, cut out the orange flesh inside, leaving only a small amount of orange juice, and then stuff the crab roe and crab meat into it, cover the top of the cut orange, put it in a small steamer, steam it with wine, vinegar and water, dip it in vinegar and salt when eating, and then have the taste of new wine, chrysanthemum, orange and fresh crab.
After thirty years of wine, the meat on the stove is also roasted, the four branches stepped forward to pick up the steel fork with the venison, and the hands and feet quickly took the knife to the next slice, and put it in front of everyone after slicing it into the plate, and then put the roasted mutton in another plate, the little girls put all kinds of dipping sauces up, there are sweet sauces, some pepper and salt, some cumin, some garlic, and crushed peanuts, pick up the hot and fragrant meat slices that are charred on the outside and tender on the inside and drag them on the dipping sauce, and when they are put into their mouths, the whole person is fragrant and becomes a fairy.
"Hah...... I've never eaten such a delicious meal in my life," Wu Yue finally ate a bowl of shrimp floss bibimbap, stroked his stomach and put down his chopsticks contentedly, "It's too much to eat!"
After removing the stove and dishes, the girls put a black pottery bowl of steaming water on everyone, Wu Yue couldn't help but wonder: "Don't you scrape the oil for tea?"
Sizhi laughed beside him: "This is a white stone soup, the master yesterday specially asked people to go to the mountain outside the city where there is a clear stream to pick the white stones, boiled with spring water to taste sweet in the snail, and there is a faint spring stone gas, drinking is the most elegant and refreshing." β
Wu Yue suddenly opened his eyes, he had heard of boiling tea to remove oil, and it was the first time he had seen this way of boiling stones to remove oil and clear his mouth!
Pick up the bowl to the nose and smell it, it is really different from the ordinary spring water and well water, there is a cold in the sweetness, the clear is fresh, taste a mouthful, it seems to be in the mountains and fields between the spring stones, the pine clouds are elegant, the blue valley is clear, there are white-clothed gentlemen lying next to the spring, listen to the deer singing, enjoy the crane dance, knock on the bamboo and sing.
That's nice...... Back in the room of the plum blossom paper screen, Wu Yue leaned on the warm mat and didn't want to leave, Merlin, Xuelu, incense stove, tea, just a few things, just a few things, just cut off the noisy and chaotic world outside, people with such clever thoughts, his inner world should also be beyond the red dust, born from the heart, although he is in the flashy, but also has a clear heart.
Uncle Yan was so good to Xiao Qi that he really had nothing to say, Lu Rong sighed in his heart with the fragrant tea ordered by the plum blossom in his hand, knowing that she was going to invite guests as the host, so he arranged everything for her to the extreme, so that her guests were intoxicated and happy, leaving a perfect impression of unforgettable and transcendent.
If she wants to do it, he will help her do his best, not only to satisfy her, but also domineeringly carve a mark in the minds of the guests: "I have a good banquet, I can't catch up" - no one wants to overshadow this banquet, his niece's host is the best host!
β¦β¦
It gets dark early in winter, Wu Yue Lu Lotus girl's house should not stay too late in someone else's house, and she will say goodbye when she plays until four or five o'clock, Yan Qi prepared two earthen bottles in the morning, and inserted a few plum blossoms in each bottle for the two to take back.
Cui Xi didn't leave in a hurry, and after sending Wu Yue and Lu Lotus away, he went to Young Master Yan Jiu's room with Yan Qi to talk, and first sent the girls out of the house, and as soon as the door was closed, he lowered his voice and said, "The medicine is not in the furniture." β
It has been tested for more than a month, and the two subordinates who were arranged in the room with Yan Qi's furniture have not changed in the slightest, neither increasing their appetite nor gaining weight.
"But I haven't changed since I took away the furniture," Yan Qidao, "Could it be that the person who gave the medicine noticed it, so he stopped the medicine for me?"
"Unlikely," Young Master Yan Jiu said slowly, "We did it seamlessly, and the other party is unlikely to know." β
Doesn't the half-edge dwelling already know, Yan Qixin said.
"It's not furniture, it's something else," Young Master Yan Jiu continued, "After taking away the furniture that day, didn't you put away the books and all kinds of ornaments in the study? β
"I'll take those things and try again. Cui Xi looked at Yan Qidao.
"It shouldn't be a book," Yan Qidao, "I have also read all the books on the shelf, and the books have only been gradually collected in recent years, where can I read them when I am three or four years old, but at that time I have already begun to gain weight." β
"Ornaments. Young Master Yan Jiu's eyes grew cold.
The ornaments in Yan Qi's room come from all over the place, there are parents in the house to appreciate, there are elders outside when they visit the door, as well as gifts given between friends, and she bought it when she went to the street, she bought it and her friends can put it aside, and those who got it after the age of three or four can also be temporarily excluded, what did you get when you were three or four years old, Yan Qi has no impression, that time has just been worn, from modern times to ancient times, everything is still at the head of the second monk, and even the name of the furniture is not recognized, let alone the ornaments.
"Let's go to my room. Yan Qi got up, took his think tank Hum Ha and the second general went to the back, closed the door after entering the ear room next to the study, opened several large boxes containing things one by one, first ruled out the ones that were not suspicious, and they were all placed together, and then the three of them took the same check.
The three or four-year-old little doll can't get a few ornaments, but some of them are already in this house, maybe they are the dowry of the second wife of Yan, or the things that the old lady and the old lady gave to the second wife, or the things that the gifts are still received, the old people who sit in the summer residence are gone, and there is nowhere to ask, so they have to rule it out in the same way.
The first to be excluded were porcelain, stone and jade, which were not volatile, and the rest were wood, wax and cloth.
"These put them in a box and I took them when I left. Cui Xi said.
"What is this?" asked Yan Qi as Young Master Yan Jiu suddenly pointed to something in the pile of artifacts that had been excluded.
It is a stone carving ornament, the stone body is green with cyanosis, the shape of the carving is like a human and not a human and a beast is not a beast, only the size of a palm, it is very simple.
Yan Qi had a slight impression of this thing: "When I was a child, it was always placed in my bedroom, and later moved to the shelf in the study. β
"How come I haven't seen it on the shelf?" asked Young Master Yan Jiu.
"It seems that I don't think it's good-looking, I wanted people to put it away, do you remember the Mama Li in my room before? She said that this thing is an evil beast, and it can ward off evil spirits when it is placed in the house, so she didn't call it away, and threw it on the top of the bookshelf, at that time you were still young, and you didn't have any impression, and put it on the top, and there were a lot of books, of course you can't see it. "Yan Qidao.
"There's something wrong with this thing?" Cui Xi looked at Young Master Yan Jiu.
"No......" Young Master Yan Jiu lowered his eyes and swallowed slowly, "It's just that this stone is slightly similar to the Heavenly Stone mentioned in the "Golden Stone Strange Things Examination...... I'll take this back to my room. β
It turned out that this product was guilty of an occupational disease.
Sent Cui Xi away, Yan Qi and Young Master Yan Jiu each went back to their respective rooms, Yan Qi had just come out of the clean room to bathe, when he saw Boiling Yu stumbling into the house, and cried with his head: "Auntie, girl! Oh noβI heard that there was a battle in the north this morning, and I saidβsaid that the border pass army had suffered a great defeat, and the soldiers were killed and wounded countless times!" 166 Reading Network
