Chapter 191: Painting Voices and Colors

Seeing Su Wen's happy promise, Yun Niang immediately nodded and promised, "Miss, don't worry." As long as there is a mold, the slave will definitely be able to make this kind of dim sum. ”

At this time, Wu put away the dishes, walked over and glanced at the characters on the painting, and immediately couldn't help asking, "Miss, what kind of character are you painting, it looks really interesting?" Why do these children have gourds on their bodies, and those two are snake spirits and scorpion spirits, right? Eh, who is this old man? ”

Seeing that Wu asked, the curiosity in Yun Niang and Xing'er's hearts was also aroused, and they all brushed and threw inquiring glances at Su Wen. They are really curious about the origin of these characters, thinking that there must be a wonderful story behind them.

Receiving the curious gazes of the three of them, Su Wen pondered for a moment and decided to try the effect on them. She didn't know if there was a folklore of gourd babies in this world, so she could only experiment with them for the time being. If the effect is good, she immediately hires a storyteller to tell the legend of the gourd baby in the store every day.

Coughing slightly, Su Wencai said with a smile: "These characters are all legendary characters, and the appearance is naturally specially drawn by me." If you're interested, I can tell you about the legend. ”

Hearing that there was a story to hear, Xing'er immediately couldn't wait to say: "Miss, it's great that you want to tell a story, and the slave likes to listen to your story." Wait a minute, the slave will go and make you a pot of tea, you can drink and talk at the same time, so that you will not get tired. ”

Hearing her say this, Wu Shi didn't forget to advise: "When you go to bring tea, you can bring some fruit by the way, Miss has little for dinner, and it can be used to pad your stomach." ”

With a yes, Xing'er flew away like a lovely swallow. I have to say that her enthusiasm for listening to stories is still quite high, which can be seen from the speed of return. It didn't take long for the little girl to rush back with a tray. On the tray, of course, was a pot of tea and a plate of fruit.

Putting the tea and fruit in front of Su Wen, Xing'er immediately urged with an expectant face: "Miss, can you tell us a story now?" ”

Sighing helplessly in his heart, Su Wen smiled and said, "Okay." I'm going to tell you the stories of these characters, and you'll have to listen carefully. This was a long, long time ago, and there lived a kind old man in the mountains. One day, the old man went into the mountains to collect medicine, but found a gourd vine......"

Next, Su Wen told the beginning of the story of the gourd baby. While recalling the cartoons she had watched in her previous life, she depicted the storyline vividly.

It must be admitted that Su Wen has a bit of a talent for storytelling. She spoke with full dedication, and the three of them listened with relish, and the expressions on their faces changed from time to time with the ups and downs of the story. When she talked about the highlights, the three of them couldn't help the excitement in their hearts. Cheer and applaud together.

In this way, Su Wen did his best to render it. It took her nearly a quarter of an hour to explain the beginning of the gourd baby's story clearly.

After listening to her finish this paragraph, Xing'er immediately couldn't wait to ask, "Miss, what happened next?" The gourd brothers are not particularly powerful. Is the old man okay? ”

was asked by her, Su Wen just smiled incomprehensibly, and then deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and said: "I said it just now, I know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition." It's not time for the next episode yet, why do you want to inquire about the follow-up plot? It's not good, you'll have to learn to wait for time later. ”

Listen to what she said. Xing'er immediately cast a resentful gaze, and said in a tangled voice: "Miss, you stopped the story here, making people feel uncomfortable to death." You're good, let's talk a little bit more about it today. ”

Hear her plea. Wu and Yun Niang also nodded in agreement. They have similar feelings to Xing'er, listening to the story and hearing that it came to an abrupt end, there is always a feeling of being hung in their hearts. If it weren't for their face for so many years, they would all want to learn from Xing'er to be coquettish and cute. This can't be blamed for their lack of calmness, it's really too torturous to listen to half of the story.

Seeing their expectant eyes. Su Wen smiled evilly, and then pretended to be tired and said, "It's not early now, let's rest first." If you still want to hear it, it's tomorrow after dinner. ”

Seeing Su Wen's resolute attitude, the three of them finally had to reluctantly accept this arrangement. Because of something on their minds, they didn't sleep well on this page. When they woke up the next day, the three of them all had thick dark circles under their eyes, which made Su Wen's heart happy and entangled.

On this day, Yun Niang's enthusiasm for studying fancy dim sum was unprecedentedly high. After listening to the story of Huluwa, she has fallen in love with these characters. The thought of being able to make these characters into snacks made her heart flutter with a rush of excitement.

Unfortunately, the mold promised by Suwen has not yet been delivered, and she has not yet been able to start the actual production process of fancy dim sum. Still, she showed enough enthusiasm. Since there is no mold yet, she can study the various colors on the characters first.

Researching the right color scheme is not an easy task. In those days, there were no edible coloring additives, so Yun Niang could only seek suitable colors from ready-made foods. In this way, you can finally make a color scheme that can be entered.

After a busy day, Yun Niang only found one or two foods that could be used for dyeing. She thought that it shouldn't be too difficult to do this, but when she really did it, she realized that the difficulty was really not ordinary. Fortunately, she is not a person who admits defeat easily, so she will not be defeated by this difficulty.

In the evening, when Su Wen had dinner, Yun Niang immediately went to her courtyard. She came back this time, on the one hand, to continue to listen to the story of the gourd baby, and on the other hand, to report on the progress and difficulties of the research.

After listening to her report, Su Wen pondered for a moment, and then suggested with a hesitant face: "I heard that the rouge gouache used by the girls is extracted from flowers, and these flowers are also used for cooking. In my opinion, we can find a way to use the colors extracted from these flowers, and they can be eaten anyway. ”

"Miss, you are so powerful, you thought of a solution at once." After listening to her suggestion, Yun Niang's eyes lit up, and she immediately praised with a look of surprise.

Seeing her face full of surprise, Su Wen was embarrassed to dampen her enthusiasm. In Su Wen's opinion, although this idea is feasible, the difficulty of operation will certainly not be small. I don't know how Yun Niang is, anyway, if she is entrusted to do these things, there is a chance that ** will not be able to complete it.

After Yun Niang regained some composure, Su Wen began to continue to tell the legendary story of the gourd baby. She cut out yesterday's piece of paper according to the characters and made it into character cards.

This time, Su Wen has these character cards, and he is more comfortable telling stories. Whenever she talked about a certain character, she would hold up the character's card in front of the three of them, so that they could have a basis for imagination. Her trick worked, and the trio's attention was completely drawn to the great story and vivid character cards.

Seeing the reaction of the three of them, Su Wen secretly made up her mind - after the dim sum shop opened, she would not only let the storyteller tell the story, but also put the characters in the story according to the content of the story.

When I first came up with the idea, Su Wen actually wanted to make it into a serialized comic. The problem is that she is the only one here who can draw comics, and obviously can't complete such a huge amount of work. As a last resort, she had to settle for the next best thing, replacing the complex storyline with simple and fixed character cards.

With the storyteller, the guests only need to face the character card and imagine according to the storyteller's narration. Anyway, the ancients didn't know what was going on, so the illustrated way was enough for them.

With a set of minds in his mind, Su Wen decided to conduct an experiment on the three of them. If the effect is obvious, then here she is. If it doesn't have the desired effect, then she can only sketch out some simple plots as a supplement to the storyteller. Thankfully, everything went as she expected, and the trio clearly liked the mode.

After a quarter of an hour of talking, Su Wen's story came to an abrupt end again. With yesterday's experience, the three of them did not continue to ask about the follow-up plot this time.

Although he didn't see the three of them asking, Su Wen still saw the entanglement in their hearts. There is no doubt that tonight may be another sleepless night for them. Seriously, Su Wen can completely understand this mood. In her previous life, when she was chasing TV series and novels, she encountered this mood a lot.

The night passed, and the sleepless night that Su Wen had expected did not happen. After the tossing and turning of the previous night, all three of them felt tired, so they all fell asleep as soon as they dipped their pillows into it.

After dawn, Yun Niang immediately threw herself into busy work. She is a noosetic gouache herself, so she is no stranger to the process of refining pigments. She's been busy all day, and she's really got good results. Now it's the time of day, and she's extracting the desired color from a variety of colors.

To try the effect, she also made a colored ice cream. After she made it, she held it in her hand and watched it repeatedly, and she was a little reluctant to swallow it in her heart.

When Su Wen came back in the evening, Yun Niang directly served the colorful ice cream made during the day. Her sudden attack really startled Su Wen. After the shock, she received Su Wen's surprised and adoring gaze. The first time she was stared at by Su Wen with such a gaze, she was really a little uncomfortable for a while.
