"Uncle, do you often go to town with this car?"

"I have to run once a day, and I deliver firewood to two restaurants in the town. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" said the uncle.

That's great!

"Uncle, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, can you please take my brother and my brother to the town every day?"

"Okay, that's good, I pass by this bridge at the beginning of every day, and I will not come back at the next day, but I will wait for them when the time comes, and I will send them home. The uncle agreed.

Anyway, the same car to deliver things, along the way with two children can also get a penny, the uncle who drove the car is naturally happy, and also said in detail that he is from Xiajiaobazi Village, the village is the only one who drives to the town every day, as soon as he inquires.

Yudong and Yuliang saw that Yuxiu even said that the car was good, and wanted to say that they could go, but Yuxiu didn't wait for the two to speak, first gave a penny as today's car money, and then took a penny, "Uncle, we can talk about it, this is a fixed money." I'll take your car on August 16. ”

The uncle is a kind person, and he only said that he was carrying it by the road today, and he refused to accept the money.

Yuxiu was no longer reluctant, grabbed a handful of candied fruit, and asked him to take it home for the child to eat. When they were chatting on the way, Yuxiu had already heard the uncle talk about several children in the family.

The uncle didn't refuse, and happily put it in his pocket. I didn't buy snacks for my children, I have candied fruit, and I must be happy to bring it back.

The three of Yudong carried a large bag of things, and many people by the river in the village were washing their clothes, and when they saw the three of them, they greeted them warmly.

Yudong and Yuxiu also responded with a smile, and Yuxiu occasionally stopped to talk to the big girls and little daughters-in-law about the excitement of the town market.

Back at home, Yushu cooked the house very properly, and was cutting weeds in the yard to prepare bran rice mixed with chickens.

Yuliang took out the dim sum given by Wu Dayong and asked Yushu and Yan Qingjiang to eat it.

Yuxiu only greeted them, hurriedly put down her things, and took out the moon flowers sent by the money shopkeeper, but fortunately, it didn't look dry.

"Sister, this month is so beautiful. "In the end, it's the girl's house, Yushu praises the flowers at a glance, which is like Yan Qingjiang's three, and she doesn't even bother to give her eyes.

"It was given by the money shopkeeper of the Wuwei Restaurant in the town, and I also took two branches, and I will plant them later. ”

As Yuxiu spoke, she first found a clean basin of water and put the flowers of the moon season in the basin with the calyx facing upwards and downwards, so as not to wither.

Yuxiu found a mortar, crockpot, jar, gauze and other things, and cleaned them carefully with water one by one.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Yuliang now feels that his eldest sister is like a trickster, and she can make delicious food from time to time. So, as soon as I saw Yuxiu busy looking for things, I came over.

"This time I won't make food, I'll play by myself. Yuxiu saw his excitement and quickly dispelled his thoughts.

Yuliang didn't see that he was not cooking, so he was not interested. He saw that Yudong was about to go to the ground with a hoe, so he hurriedly carried a basket, grabbed a small sickle, and followed him out.

Yuxiu told the two to be careful and continue to work by herself, she plucked the moon flowers and put them in a mortar to crush them slowly.

Then, take gauze and wreck the juice from the petals into a blue and white bowl.

The money shopkeeper gave eight bowls of large Yueji, but they were so pounded and twisted, and in the end, there was only a bowl of red juice at the bottom of the blue and white bowl.

Yuxiu looked at so little, a little unwilling, scraped the twisted petals in the gauze and scraped them into the bowl, lit the tandoor and put it on to steam.

On the other side, she washed a bowl of japonica rice, poured it into the jar, put in the water that had not been over the rice, covered it with a wooden board, and put it in the corner of the stove to ferment. Now that the weather is hot, it is estimated that it will be ready to ferment in seven or eight days.

Yuxiu still miscalculated, by August 13, this jar of japonica rice was sour.

Therefore, after she washed her clothes on this day, she took out her hand grinding, and took out the soaked japonica rice to grind the rice milk.

Yan Qingjiang heard Yuxiu say that if he got it out like this, he could finally make rouge gouache, but he didn't believe it, and he watched the excitement on the sidelines.

Yan Qingjiang helped to grind, and Yuxiu put a wooden basin at the grinding mouth, and put a fine-hole sieve on the wooden basin. The slurry is left in a sieve and then slowly seeps into the tub.

Yuxiu added rice and water for a day, and soon grinded it for the first time, she picked up the sieve, scraped out the coarse rice grains inside and continued to grind.

After sifting and grinding and tossing three times, finally, there were no more coarse rice grains in the fine-porous sieve.

"Sister, can this really make incense powder?" Yushu asked curiously, stretching out her hand and dipping it in some rice milk.

"This is just the beginning, and we need to get something. Yuxiu braided her hair into two braids on her head, and put a wooden basin filled with rice milk on the side to calm down.

After the rice milk was divided into two layers, Yuxiu poured the water, and the remaining powder was put to dry in the sun.

This kind of big sun, but only a moment of effort, the powder is dry.

Yuxiu twisted her fingers and looked at it, feeling quite satisfied, "Look, this is gouache." ”

Yudong and Yuliang were curious, and squatted on the side and watched for a long time, "Xiuxiu, this powder is finer than flour, and it is not fragrant at all." ”

"yes, and it's dry, there's no water. Yuliang also said.

"Isn't there anything added yet? Yuxiu said angrily, very dissatisfied with Yudong's killing scenery.

Yudong smiled and stopped talking.

"Oh, brother, you can help me mash these things. Yu Xiuyi was dissatisfied, and felt that she should let her brother help with the work, take out the lac, white skin and angelica that she bought from the pharmacy last time, and let them help mash them in the mortar.

Yudong took the mortar good-naturedly and went to mess with Yuliang.

Yushu looked at the two of them like that and snickered. She grabbed a large handful of osmanthus flowers and showed them to Yuxiu, "Sister, is this osmanthus okay?"

"That's enough, we don't plan to do more this time anyway. ”

Yuxiu divided the powder into four pieces. She took a piece and put it in the steamer, put the osmanthus in the water, spread a piece of gauze on the powder, and sprinkled a layer of osmanthus flowers. This pot was steamed, and the powder was dyed with a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

Then Yuxiu put Yudong's two mashed shellac, white skin and angelica into a clay pot and boiled them carefully.

White skin has the effect of stopping bleeding and building muscles, and Angelica angelica can beautify and whiten the skin, and these three things are boiled into a bowl of thick juice.

Yuxiu put the remaining three pieces of flour into three bowls.

A bowl was filled with the last soaked juice of the moonflowers, and soon the powder was dyed a bright red.

The second bowl was filled with the thick juice of shellac white skin and angelica boiled, and this bowl was different from the color just now, it was purple.

After pounding for more than two hours, in the end, Yuxiu made six boxes of rouge gouache. The bamboo box containing rouge gouache was specially made by a bamboo craftsman, and the surface of the box was carved with flower and grass patterns, which looked very elegant.

Yuxiu took one of the boxes of osmanthus scented ones and lightly smeared them on Yushu's cheeks, Yushu's cheeks immediately turned white, and the powder was very thin and light, and she couldn't see the powder at all.

Yuliang leaned over and sniffed it, "It smells good, it's the fragrance of osmanthus." Sister, you're so amazing. ”

"Of course. Yuxiu nodded, indicating that Yuliang was right.

These boxes of rouge gouache are just trial production, and if you want more, you still have to wait for next year's home-grown moon season after flowering.

Yushu used these things for the first time, looked at this box, looked at that box, and felt like every box.

Yuxiu smiled and picked up the two boxes, "Shu'er, these two boxes are specially made for you, take them and put them away, and wait for next year." ”

Her powder is mixed with different colors according to different skin tones, and it looks like it is only a fraction of a centimeter deep, but it is very different when it is wiped on her face.
