Chapter 383: Hanging Money
Bo came to an end for the time being with the bear-hunting team evacuating from the backer, and he vaguely felt in his heart that this matter might not be so easy to fight.
Fortunately, the fat man took precautions and asked for a gun ban early, otherwise this matter would really not be settled. When he got home, the fat man looked at the old man Wu more pleasing to the eye: "Uncle Wu, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you at night!" β
"Yesterday, the boss of the car said that he got a big fish and asked me and Lao Wu to have dinner tonight." Old Man Wu came back first, and he was playing chess with Old Wu Tou.
The fat man leaned over and helped the old man Wu on the side, and the old Wu head on the opposite side glared at him with all his eyes, and the fat man pretended not to see it.
At this time, as soon as the door of the outhouse opened, the sister-in-law came in with a piece of red paper: "Fatty, let's write our couplet first." β
"Hehe, let's find Wang to write, he's a big deal." The fat man suddenly remembered that during the Chinese New Year last year, Wang Gong was still here, and he snatched the business of writing couplets at once, so he broke the urinal - put it up.
Click, the old man Wu cut the old Wu head's general off the horse, and then stood up: "What are you begging you to do, go and get the pen and ink, I'll write it!" β
When the fat man heard this, he took a brush and an ink cartridge and cut the red paper: "Hehe, Uncle Wu, you still have this, I thought you would play with guns when you were old." β
Old man Wu dipped it in ink, and then Bigfoot Sister-in-law: "What words do you write?" β
"Sir, you can write whatever you want, and it will be festive." When the big-footed sister-in-law saw the commander pick up the pen, she also felt fresh.
"I'll write it." The fat man pondered for a moment. Then he said, "Uplink." You raise chickens and come to me to grind noodlesβ"
Bigfoot blinked a few times: "This sounds a little familiar." Isn't this a heavenly match? You bring water and I will water the garden. β
But the fat man said. Old man Wu began to write. It has already been written. The fat man looked at the old man Wu's words. That's called a strong one. Skimming like a sword. Horizontal and vertical like knives and guns, very combative.
"It's good to be linked. The next link is that the husband and wife work together to build a home. The fat man arranged the next couplet again, and the sister-in-law was really happy: "Cheng." Just use this. β
The fat man and the old man Wu are a perfect match. I finished writing the couplet of Bigfoot's sister-in-law's house. Qiqi took out the red paper of his own home: "Uncle Fat's writing is not as good as Grandpa Wu's." Don't ask him to write. β
"That's just the right time to rest." The fat man is also a little depressed. When you go home and live again, ask for clarification. Can't write calligraphy. If you can't write, leave it. Write and leave quickly.
Qiqi was like a little master, and put a piece of colored paper in front of the fat man: "I see that the big fat man and they all pick up their own money, and the fat uncle has nothing to do to get this out."
Really, it's quite a big person who doesn't know anything about Zhang Luo and we have to worry about it. β
"Pick up the money? How can I have that ability? "The fat man scratched the back of his head, this really doesn't work.
"It's just boring when you look at it, or you'll get it yourself." Kiki turned out two knives that were sharpened with a chainsaw blade, one with a larger area and the other with a smaller one. There is also a rectangular plank, several large clips.
"Cut some rectangular pieces of paper, put more than 10 sheets together, and then cover a sheet on it, and carve it out according to the pattern. There are more than ten of them, you don't have to engrave them all, just five or six of them. "Qiqi obviously saw the big fat man carve it, so he gave the fat man a lecture.
The fat man also understood, this thing is really not very technical. Think about the hanging money I bought two years ago, and it was probably hand-carved like this.
In fact, it is the fat man's family to buy hanging money, backing the mountain?* sodium Lu Lu Si Yao Si Yao 2 also Xian Huai rub Lu Chui Nan Ba Zhu Xuan Xuan surname Wei Ping said that the model is smashed and cut locusts and swollen chrysalis Yiting? br/>
Hanging money, this kind of ornament that sets off the festive atmosphere, the history is also very long, there are poets in the Qing Dynasty to write popular poems: first paste the door paper to hang money, remove the gold and red paper to write the Spring Festival couplets. The embroidery rod is tightly tied to the front broom, and the room is swept and the window is counted as the New Year.
And the hanging money is also particular, all of them are singular, the standard is five, take blue and white, black five colors. But when it comes to the people, the common people taboo black and white, so they take more red, pink, yellow, green and blue five colors, and the order is also exquisite: head red, two green, three yellow, four pink, five blue.
Generally, people hang three sheets, glued under the horizontal batch of couplets, and there is also one, which is pasted under the small blessing word for decoration.
The fat man originally liked to tinker with these things, so he rolled up his sleeves and cut the colored paper into 16 carat sizes, divided them into five dozen, and mixed them in various colors, and then began to choose the pattern.
There are more than a dozen pieces of money, with people, animals, flowers and various patterns; There are also words with words, what "there is more than every year, the five grains are abundant, and everything is good", which are all auspicious words.
But no matter what the pattern, the blank space must be connected at the end, so that the money can be connected as a whole, and some are really not connected, so they deliberately leave some lines and implicate them. Otherwise, hang it outside, and it will be blown by the wind after a while.
The little girl's brains are tied together, and she follows the fat man to pick tricks, you say this, he says that, and the fat man's head is big. I picked up one and there was a big fat pig on the money: "This year is the Year of the Pig, so I will engrave this first." β
"Haha, the fat uncle really has a lot of pigs
No wonder you grow so fat. "Yaya also learned to do it on the body of a fat man
The fat man put the appearance on the blank colored paper, and then fixed it with a clip around it, and picked up the knife: "I'll practice my hands first, if you want to carve flowers on your face, I'll carve a dog's tail flower for her." β
When the little girl heard this, she covered her face with a smile, and then lay on the table to watch the fat man engrave the money.
The fat man turned the knife in his hand, after all, the first time he got it, his heart was a little bottomless, so he carved the tassels below first, and used a long knife, as long as he straightened it.
Not to mention, this knife has a good steel edge, and it is sharpened quickly, and it is pulled from top to bottom, all through it.
The fat man's confidence has increased greatly, and he has become a knife, one knife after another, without any slack. The fat man's arm is calm and powerful, and it is most suitable to do this, even if someone touches his elbow now, he will not carry a running knife.
The little girl snapped her lips vigorously: "Uncle, why don't you just take it and sell it when you catch the market in the next day!" β
"Count me in again, and I'll be responsible for writing couplets!" Old man Wu didn't know when he would come up behind the fat man, and watched him engrave the money with a smile.
This method makes the fat man move a little, but think about the old man's body, forget it. Suddenly, the fat man stopped his knife and shouted:
"Really, Wang Gong didn't think about this stubble when he was here last year."
After a full hour, ten identical hanging coins were carved out and looked at for a long time: "Well, yes, it's better than the appearance." β
Everyone was appreciating it, and Tang Fengshan, the owner of the car, came back from the market together: "Let's go, let's go to my house for dinner today - the New Year's picture pages that Qiqi wants have been bought, this is Qiqi's Monkey King, Mu Guiying is Yaya, and this big fat doll is fat." β
"Mine?" Wu Qiong was a little anxious.
"Yours are here, one hundred and eight generals of the Water Margin. I can't imagine that although the little guy is a girl, he also likes this. The car boss found another one and handed it to Wu Qiong.
When the fat man heard it, he became energetic: "There are also female generals in Liangshan, just like Wu Qiong, who likes the dominatrix Sun Erniang or something." β
Wu Qiong's face was so angry that her little face turned red, and the old Wu Tou hurriedly hugged her granddaughter in her arms: "Let's be a young man and a young man, and if you listen to your fat uncle's nonsense, he is willing to tease the child." β
"Hurry up and pack up and leave." The car boss urged again.
The fat man spread his hands: "I haven't finished carving this money yet, just come back and get it again." "After that, I have to close the stall.
"I'm coming!" Tang Fengshan took the carving knife from his hand and sat down at the table. As soon as the car boss saw it, he went back to Zhang Luo to eat first.
"Brother Tang, are you covered?" As soon as the fat man saw Tang Fengshan, he was holding a ruler, and then he was about to use the knife, so he couldn't help but remind him.
"What kind of skill is it to carve it like that." Tang Fengshan said in his mouth, the carving knife in his hand flew up and down, and after five or six minutes, he put the knife on the table: "Okay." β
The fat man didn't look at him and shredded the paper, a little incredulous: "Really? He muttered as he removed the paper from the board. Gently shake it off twice, confetti flies, and then, the hanging money shows a hollow pattern, which is two magpies falling on the plum branches, and there are four other words: happy eyebrows.
"Absolutely!" The fat man clicked his lips, this is not only a craft, but a bit of art.
"Old Tang, what the hell are you going to do?" The fat man is now, and he is becoming more and more unable to see through Tang Fengshan.
"Anyway, I can pick up these simple crafts in the countryside in front of me." Tang Fengshan put another piece of paper and engraved it directly, so he didn't need to make a draft at all.
Wait for this to be carved and take a look, the fat man is the most satisfied, a dragon and a phoenix, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and it is the most suitable to hang at home.
In less than half an hour, six or seven things were carved, and the fat man was noisy: "Enough, enough, there is no place to hang it." β
"I don't have it yet." Tang Fengshan took a few sheets, then rolled them into a paper tube, wrapped them with thread, and put them in his pocket: "Let's go, let's eat this time." β
The car boss invited the old man Wu, and everyone followed the light, even the old man and the little family carried it. Because the car boss heard that Old Man Wu was going back to check his body after the New Year, he invited guests in advance, usually in the New Year.
Captain Li, Wang Sanpao, and Lao Yaozi and Lao Revolutionaries have all come, and they are talking about beating the blind bear. Wang Sanpao was still a little indignant: "These things know that they are harmful to people, how can there be such a black one, and they want to root it out all of a sudden." β
"Okay, the food is here, don't talk about those troubles." The car boss brought up a large basin, which was half-pulled fish head, and the rest was milky white soup: "Drink some hot soup first, let's eat fish today, more than 20 catties of big fat heads, we have to eat it all." β
Lao Wu Tou drank a spoonful of fish soup, which was bright and bright: "Boss, you are a different person, can you eat all fish?" β
"You can go as a foreigner, if you can eat Uncle Boss's whole fish feast, then you are blessed." The fat man knows the craftsmanship of the car boss, and he has already rolled up his sleeves and is ready to eat. No, he never seems to have ever stopped eating.
