Li Xiucai came back in the evening and saw ten ink cartridges of similar size on his desk, he didn't have to think about it to know that this was purchased for the school, and he looked at his daughter busily, "What is your mother doing with this, it's very expensive." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It's cheaper than an inkstone, come and try it for me, how much ink is right in it." Mrs. Li shouted coldly.

Li Xiucai sat down honestly, opened one, spread half of the new white cotton inside, tried the thickness, he carefully poured some finished ink into it, pressed it with a brush, until the ink soaked the cotton tire, but could not drip ink. also took the written test, and now he understands his wife's intentions, and is busy with a smile, "The lady thinks well, so that the few places will not be so crowded." This one has also been dropped! ”

"It's more expensive." Looking at Li Xiucai, he poured almost a quarter of the whole bottle, two bottles of ink, and less than ten boxes. My heart hurts, and I stared at my daughter fiercely. I don't think I'm too gullible.

"Mother, you really are." Li Ping smiled, she covered the ink bottle, put it back in the cabinet, and then took out the ink blocks that Li Niangzi had collected before, all of which were of different sizes, and they were not easy to use, otherwise Li Niangzi would not have accepted them. It hurts to throw it away, but she also knows it's useless to stay, but she is still reluctant to throw it.

Li Ping saw that Mrs. Li had picked it up, and she knew where the things were, and she had been prepared. I lit a fire on the small stove that my father used to make tea, grabbed some half-broken pieces of ink and put them in a small clean clay pot, poured water on them, and stirred a pine branch in it, and the water bubbled, and put some pine needles that I had just gone out to pick up. After a while, the rosin overflowed.

Soon, the ink in the clay pot was black and thick, and even better, it was much more fragrant than the ink that Li Niangzi had just bought. Li Ping looked at it almost, and tried the shade on the coarse paper with pine branches, until she felt that it was almost, and then put a white cloth on a clean small clay pot, let her father hold it, and she would filter it. At this time, Mrs. Li also knew what she wanted to do, so she picked up Li Ping, picked up the clay basin herself, and the couple cooperated, and the thick ink was filtered out. So they have a little jar of ink,

Li Xiucai compared, no one's ink color is positive, but it is enough for young children. But what made him happy was that this ink was very fragrant, and it had a bit of the meaning of pine smoke and ancient ink.

Li Ping can't say that this is the third prime minister, and an unlucky imperial doctor told her. As I said before, she has been raised since she was a child. It's not a good thing, she doesn't like to use. And ink, she doesn't use loose smoke and ink. And the first Hanlin Xianggong was an elegant man, and he also made his own Hanlin ink at home. The second princess, she was in charge of the house, what to use, and the family bought it for him. When he reached the third imperial physician, he was born as a commoner. It would be almost to her family, and although they didn't mind her spending her own money, they didn't want her to be cheated.

The princess told her that there is no price for pine smoke ink on the market, but why can't it be sold out. It's actually very fake. said, and in front of her, I gave her a round of ink. I used the worst ink, plus fresh pine needles, boiled very slowly, and finally boiled the pine needles until even the slag was gone, then strained a few more, and then boiled again. Finally, it becomes a paste, add cement, or other things, and dry it in the mold. Grinding it out, it is guaranteed to be more fragrant than pine smoke ink. It's not worth much except for some firewood.

Li Ping directly kicked the imperial doctor out that day, but she changed the problem of using pine smoke ink, she didn't want people to be fools. However, I learned the method. Now they don't have to make pine smoke ink, they just make ink, and they don't have to worry too much. It's almost boiled, and the pine needles in the ink are filtered out, and it can coax the child.

Mrs. Li hurriedly put all the cotton tires into the clay basin, absorbed the ink, and then put them back in the box, and scolded Li Ping by the way, "In that case, why did you let me buy ink?" ”

Li Ping was speechless, she didn't know about her mother going to buy ink, and now she can be scolded, but forget it, she is her mother, and she will be scolded.

"It's good, at least everyone knows that our family bought ink." Li Xiucai was busy to solve the siege, he was an honest man, and he felt that now they were like fakes. His wife bought ink, and he also confessed to the clan.

But at this time, Li Ping stopped talking, dug a hole in the shade of the small courtyard outside her parents' door, put the jar in, and did not bury it deeply, the mouth was still outside, and covered it with a lid to separate the water, so she didn't care about it anymore. When I entered the house, there were still some in the clay basin, and I poured them into the ink bottle just now. Exactly two more bottles.

"The first time the cotton tires were dry, it took some ink, and then the ink cartridges were issued every afternoon, so that they could not study well. Take it back at night! In this way, you only need to add a little ink every day. It doesn't take much ink. Li Ping said to her mother with a smile.

"It's a good thing, you can't spoil it for the little ones." Li Niangzi nodded hurriedly, took out the only ink cartridge that had not been soaked in ink just now, and handed it to Li Xiucai, "You go back and let someone send it to Zeng's house." ”

Li Xiucai smiled, this is the best one of all the ink cartridges, there are no obvious scars, and the painting on it is the best. Whether it's intentional or practical, it's all top-notch.

Li Ping was stunned for a moment, which family is Zeng's family? It's not her to blame, she's still in a daze these days, and she really forgot the fact that she's engaged. In the morning, my mother had mentioned it, and she didn't take the topic to heart when she went to her mother-in-law's house. At that time, my heart was all on the loom. This will be mentioned by my mother suddenly, but I remembered that my mother was still saying this morning that she must learn a craft and not let her mother-in-law bully her. Li Ping's heart sank suddenly, why did she get engaged so early? However, the girl's family is really hard to ask, so she can only look at the old lady blankly.

Mrs. Li also sighed, "Alas, I know that you are not happy, and my mother is not happy to ......"

"it!" Li Xiucai was speechless, and hurriedly stopped, if he continued to talk like this, he didn't have to wait for the second girl to grow up, but he was afraid that he would have to withdraw from his relatives.

"Yes, yes. You have nothing to do to teach the kid of the Zeng family well, I see the urine sex of my father-in-law, don't teach the child stupid. Mrs. Li waved her hand and pulled Li Ping to the kitchen to wash her hands and serve food.

Li Xiucai took the table, and after a while, Mrs. Li brought a large plate of dishes, two bowls of coarse rice came out, and her daughter followed behind, holding a very small crockpot in her hand, which was porridge made with meat and gastrodia, made for her daughter alone.

And the two of them, a large plate of fried beans with red beans in the snow with sharp peppers, are the most delicious.

"Mother, I'm all right, I don't need to drink anymore." Meat porridge is a good thing for the Li family, but for Li Ping, it is the same as medicine. She is now swallowing saliva at the red fried beans in the snow, and she can't pick some into the porridge, because the spicy seeds have damaged the medicinal properties of gastrodia. Today, she decided to fight back.
