Chapter 257: Oily Grasshoppers

Basically, the door didn't open, Su Ran opened the window and called Lan San outside, and then Lan San rushed to Su Ran from nowhere, and it was only a few breaths before and after.

Su Ran directly asked him to pick reeds, the sooner the better, Lan San didn't say a word, his body disappeared in front of Su Ran as soon as he moved, and before Su Ran could close the window, he had already pulled out a number of reed poles and came to the window.

Roughly counting, there are about seven of these reed poles, and the bottom of each one is still full of watery silt, obviously it has not been long since it was pulled up, and there are water droplets rolling on the reed leaves, Jiu'er sighed, and said directly to Lan San: "Just pick the most tender leaves." ”

The other old leaves are useless, and the old leaves on the reeds will crack and break with a little force, so that the grasshoppers will collapse halfway through, which is a headache!

Picking down those tender leaves, Jiu'er taught Su Ran hand in hand, although it was a movement by action, but it was not over and over again, watching Jiu'er's hands dance like a dance, and soon a grasshopper came out vividly.

However, in this process, there are seven major aspects, divided into 30 small details, and the whole process is almost indispensable.

So don't look at the simplicity of the wine, it is practice makes perfect, three times in a row, the wine weaves three grasshoppers, and Su Ran broke a bunch of leaves. Don't laugh at Su Ran, novices must go through the process, that is, failure.

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that you are defeated by failure, Su Ran is now in the learning stage, Jiu'er thought that the little princess could not make up a single one, and she must have to give up, but after all the leaves were used up, Su Ran directly opened the window again and began to summon Lan San.

This time, without Su Ran's orders, Lan San disappeared in front of Su Ran, and then a handful of young reed leaves were sent to Su Ran's bedroom, Su Ran grabbed the leaves: "Come again, I don't believe it today, I can't make up this grasshopper." ”

Su Ran's resilience is still good, the small setbacks are just a passing moment, she has gone through the thirty-one steps more or less, and now the main thing is the correct order and skillful skills, what Jiu'er remembers after ten years, it makes no sense that she can't learn it.

In order to fold out the grasshoppers, Su Ran didn't even go to sleep during his lunch break, until the sun was about to set, the scrapped leaves had already occupied the entire basin, and Su Ran's face was already a lot of dirt, a pair of tender white hands, also black, with a small wound from the reed leaves, and there were more than a dozen of them in a rough count.

But Su Ran was not annoyed at all, and her smile was like a flower at this time, because in her hand, there was a grass grasshopper, which belonged to Su Ran's efforts alone and compiled a grass grasshopper, and the commemorative significance of this grass grasshopper was very great.

Jiu'er clapped her palms on the side: "Her Royal Highness the princess is really super smart, this is weaving, I have been studying for many days before!" ”

"Uh-ha, I'm really a genius!" Su Ran raised the grasshopper in her hand, and almost roared out loudly on the spot, as if what she was weaving was not a grass grasshopper, just like a female baby creating a human being, so the grass grasshopper in her hand was a living being.

And Su Ran, as the creator of the grasshopper, is a mother of it, how can a mother dislike her child!

So the wine that originally encouraged Su Ran was completely stupid at this time, please my little princess, isn't it just a grasshopper, as for being happy like this!

Su Ran flicked the grasshopper, touched its beard, touched its wings, and bent his eyebrows and eyes, which could be regarded as extremely happy.

And this is not counting, Su Ran has already handed this grass grasshopper to Jiu'er for the eighth time: "Jiu'er, you say, how about the grasshopper I compiled!" ”

Jiu'er is about to go crazy, the first time she handed it over, she shouldn't have fueled Su Ran's pride, why did she say that it was very beautiful with her conscience at that time, but now it's good, she can't refute it, and every time she has to continue to express her appreciation with her conscience, no one feels tormented in her heart more than the current Jiu'er.

When the ninth Su Ran held the baby and handed the grasshopper to Jiu'er, Jiu'er took a deep breath, and then went against the norm: "Little princess, I don't know if you want to listen to the truth or listen to the lie." ”

Su Ran curled his mouth: "Jiu'er, you are confused, what kind of lie are you talking to me!" Could it be that you are also like those palace people, one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back, and there are many lies in front of your master? ”

Jiu'er shook her head: "Since Her Royal Highness the princess said so, then I have to tell the truth." ”

When telling the truth, Jiu'er deliberately walked towards the door and took a few steps, Su Ran started a fire, which was also very terrifying, especially what she was going to say next, it was definitely pouring water on her head, and it would be ice water, she herself was a little afraid.

"If the masterpiece in the hands of Her Royal Highness the princess can be summed up in one sentence, then it can only be summed up in one sentence, ugly! Very ugly! It's just ugly! After speaking, Jiu'er quickly lowered her head, and then she regretted it, why didn't she hold back? Why do you have to say it so quickly?

Su Ran suddenly felt like he had been punched, and he was in the middle of the door, and his heart became completely congested all of a sudden, if it wasn't for Jiu'er standing in front of him, if he was replaced by other people, Jiu'er would have pounced on him to find an explanation.

"Hehe, don't tell me a lie if you tell you, you still have to say, who did you learn from so naughty, I originally wanted to give you my first masterpiece, but now, I'm afraid it's impossible, in order to show your punishment, I decided to fold out the grasshoppers in the future, and pick out the worst one and give it to you." Su Ran, who controls his own feelings, his brain is still spinning very fast.

Originally, what Jiu'er said could make things fall into a dead end, and even cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings, but Su Ran's words suddenly brought things to life, making Jiu'er no longer so cranky.

To be honest, at this time, Jiu'er was already regretting it, she said her evaluation, and immediately thought of how others thought of it, like a beginner, Su Ran had done her best, as her personal maid, in addition to constantly encouraging Su Ran, it was not her turn to evaluate three or four.

But at this time, Su Ran said that the scene came to life, and it was another scene. Jiu'er agreed: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't you want to forget too much, you personally promised to give me the most treasured grass grasshopper, don't let my bamboo basket fetch water when the time comes!" ”

Next, Jiu'er talked to Su Ran about the skills of weaving grass grasshoppers, such as when the grass grasshoppers are the most beautiful, how to wind the grass grasshoppers, or string them together.

Of course, the skewers are just to make the grasshoppers more ornamental, either to bring the grasshoppers over to eat, or to let Su Ran roast the grasshoppers and eat them, that is, there is no poison, and Su Ran will not be able to stand it.

However, there will be a plague of locusts among the people, and the locusts at that time were such big grasshoppers, and the grass grasshoppers that they weaved were not small, and if the whole group of thousands flew over

In front of the locust plague, the whole swarm of locusts is like a rolling dark cloud, covering the sky and the sun, even if the king of the forest tiger touches it, he can only hide.

But when the locusts flew over, the farmers ran out of food, and some people with extraordinary knowledge would make their own preparations in advance.

For example, prepare a lot of sacks, which are usually meant to hold grain, but now that the grain has been eaten up by the locusts that have been killed by the heavens, there is nothing else on the ground except the yellow earth.

Without the grain of the autumn harvest, it will not be possible to survive the winter, so the smart people who have nothing to eat will prepare the locusts in advance, and when there is no food to eat, then they will go to eat the locusts.

Don't look at locusts that look disgusting, but the nutritional value of locusts is particularly high, and eating too much is not only not harmful to the body, but also can raise people to be fat for nothing.

So when the plague of locusts comes, the wise man will not bother with the doomed food in his field, but will prepare his tools and do his best to catch the locusts.

Although the locust can walk in three places by sea, land and air, but the innate deficiency can only make it fly at a limited height, and it can only jump on the ground, and in the water, a short water surface jump is already the limit, if the locust is pressed in the water, and the air in the body is replaced, that is, when the locust is dying.

Prepare a net bag to catch grasshoppers, large wooden barrels, filled with water, and after the grasshoppers are killed, they are quickly dried and can be put into bags.

Often collect a few large bags of dried grasshopper corpses, but they can still be dried, and make do with it, and this family of people who have suffered from locust plagues, even if there is no food in the winter, can make do with it.

Grasshoppers eat food, people eat grasshoppers, and really counted, smart people will never lose.

So when Jiu'er mentioned these trivial things to Su Ran, especially when he said that he was bought into the palace by his parents in the spring of the next year because he had experienced the locust plague, Jiu'er didn't have much of a good impression of grasshoppers.

If it weren't for Su Ran's vigorous clamoring to learn to weave grasshoppers, he would not have reviewed the craft of weaving grasshoppers with the dark past of Jiu'er.

Jiu'er looked at Su Ran with burning eyes, and then asked a question: "Little princess, if there is a day when you are hungry and can only eat grasshoppers, will you eat them?" ”

Su Ran didn't worry about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, this was not a problem for Su Ran to consider, so he spread his hands at the moment: "This!" It's really hard to say, but wine, you should have had a choice at that time! ”

A trace of remembrance flashed on Jiu'er's face: "Yes! On the eve of my sale to the palace, my mother copied me a plate of dishes, which I think I will remember for the rest of my life. ”
