Chapter 65: Admiration

After listening to Fang Qiaoqian's words, everyone no longer hesitated, and began to make zuò flower melons in groups of three or two, while Fang Yage was still sitting in the gazebo unhurriedly and watching the watermelon lying there, as if there was something about this melon that attracted her.

Fang Qiaoqian snorted coldly when she saw this, "Hmph, it's just a mystery." Since then, he no longer looks at Fang Yage, but concentrates on making flower melons.

Fang Qiaoqian first selected a bunch of grapes, this bunch of grapes are crystal clear, all full, showing a clear red, Fang Qiaoqian carefully picked the grapes one by one, and the skin was not damaged at all. Then lit a fire on the stove next to him, Fang Yage's eyes flashed when he saw this, it seemed that this Fang Qiaoqian had some ability.

It turns out that the flower melon making zuò is only a part of today's ingenuity meeting, and after the flower melon is ready, it will also be made into the fruit of the melon...... This coincidence is to make the pastry into a delicate shape, or steamed or fried, not the pursuit of taste, the pursuit of shape. Therefore, there are several stoves not far from the corridor, which will be used for making Qiaoguo for a while. And everyone didn't expect that Fang Qiaoqian would be on fire now.

The essence of this flower melon zuò lies in exquisiteness, so choose more brightly colored melons and fruits, or cut or carve, in short, it is to work the modeling, and I have not seen anyone who uses a pot stove in this link.

When everyone was stunned, Fang Qiaoqian had already sprinkled the fine white sugar in the hot pot and boiled it carefully, seeing that the sugar became viscous, she did not hesitate to put the grapes in the pot, and immediately came out of the pot after rolling in the syrup, and quickly passed it in cold water. The grapes, which were originally ruddy in color, instantly became more crystal clear, and several young ladies who saw it swallowed their saliva.

Fang Qiaoqian poured the rest of the syrup on the plate, and quickly drew it with a bamboo skewer, and soon there was a painting made of syrup on the plate, which was a new moon and a few dexterous magpies.

After doing this, the branches and leaves of the bunch of grapes are washed and arranged, and the grapes that have passed the syrup are put back in the same way as they were when they were not picked, so that it looks dazzling and novel.

Fang Qiaoqian smiled slightly when she saw this, and began to pick up the cucumber to carve other patterns.

Fang Yage saw this and already understood that Fang Qiaoqian was going to make a painting with melons and fruits, a picture of the moonlit night of the Qiqiao Festival. It seems that his mind can be regarded as dexterous, seeing this, Fang Yage no longer hesitated, and let Zi Su come to the corridor with a watermelon.

Shiso just brought back two boxes, but because the shock of the watermelon was too great, everyone didn't notice that there was a small box on top of the big box.

Fang Yage gently opened the small box, and saw that all kinds of exquisite utensils were neatly placed inside, including a small knife with a finger length, a small scissors the size of half a palm, and a small comb one inch long......

It took Bai Zhi a day to get these items together, and she went to all the shops in the capital that sold delicate gadgets, and even went to the place where the Ye family specialized in Nanyang objects, so that she could find the main things in the county. It's just that these things look like toys for little children.

Fang Yage ignored Bai Zhi's depressed mood, and ignored the strange gazes that everyone quietly cast, gently placed the watermelon on the platform, and held it firmly with one hand. Fang Yage closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes, he had already gathered all his thoughts, his eyes were completely focused on the watermelon, and the finger-long knife in his hand moved quickly.

Carving, peeling, and rotating, every time the knife is cut, it is very accurate, and everyone can't understand what Fang Yage wants to do, and they are already deeply shocked by her technique. It turns out that such a small knife is so flexible to operate, just like a paintbrush, and each knife will form a line.

Time passed imperceptibly, and Fang Yage was completely intoxicated by his carving. Speaking of this carving kung fu was taught to her by a local master when she was in Qingze, Fang Yage's five years of hard work and hard work, it can be said that as long as it is something that can be seen in life, she can carve, and carve vividly.

When the first character under Fang Yage's carving knife was revealed, everyone was stunned...... It was a woman with high hair in a high bun and a long dress...... How can it be carved so similarly? Is this the Weaver Girl?

Sure enough, after a while, the figure of a man holding hands with a woman was also carved, coupled with the arch bridge that gradually took on a rudimentary shape under the feet of the two people, everyone could basically determine that this was the image of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

How can anyone carve a figure so vividly with watermelon rind? Everyone rubbed their eyes as if they were dreaming. But it didn't take long for Fang Yage to convince everyone again. Because on the watermelon, Fang Yage began to carve flowers, this time not simply carving a flat pattern, but carving three-dimensional flowers......

Fang Yage had already thought about it, and the watermelon would be carved with peony flowers as the background, or carved into a bright red peony, or carved into a red and white peony, so that it would be the most vivid. The other parts of the watermelon can also be carved into clouds and magpies, so that the artistic conception is complete and the material is not wasted.

When everyone saw this kind of kung fu, they had long forgotten that they still wanted to make zuò flower melons, and they all couldn't help but run over here to watch Fang Yage's carving.

……

Fang Qiaoqian carved the last piece of cucumber, put it away gently, and looked at her work with satisfaction, only to find that the county lord of Anning was already surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the three layers, and she didn't know what was going on. Could it be that a knife cut a hand? Fang Qiaoqian thought about it and hurriedly pushed everyone away and squeezed in......

“…… No, it can't be! "Fang Qiaoqian has never heard of someone who can carve melons and fruits into a three-dimensional pattern, and she has never even heard of it, how can this Anning County Lord do it?! She didn't believe it......

Just when Fang Qiaoqian was shocked, Fang Yage had already picked up a red apple and began to spin and knife, and an old pine tree with lush branches and leaves had appeared on the apple, even more beautiful than the painting.

Then Fang Yage picked up another pear, and after a while, a large transparent peony appeared...... Then there is a three-dimensional peony with a red edge carved from an apple...... The blooming melon and fruit flowers were placed next to the watermelon, and everyone was stunned at the moment and could no longer speak.

Fang Yage put the last flower away, took a deep breath, and smiled with satisfaction...... When I turned around, I was startled. She had just put all her attention on the carving of the flower melon, and she didn't pay attention at all, it turned out that there was already such a large circle of people around her, and everyone looked at her with excitement and admiration, Fang Yage suddenly felt that she had strayed into the wolves.

"Everyone, don't you continue to make zuò flower melons?" Fang Yage asked.

The ladies just woke up from a big dream, looked at their unfinished works, and suddenly had the feeling of a child messing around in front of the master. Jing Yunqing looked at the peacock she was going to make with apples and cucumbers, and smiled sadly in her heart, she thought that her cooking skills were acceptable, but she was just worse than Fang Qiaoqian, but now she knows how ridiculous this idea is.

"County Lord, your masterpiece is current, it makes no sense for us to do it or not, it is better to watch one or two here, such a profound carving work can not be seen at any time, I have benefited a lot today, thank you here." After speaking, he saluted Fang Yage.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit, and Fang Yage actually felt a little at a loss for a while. If others calculate her and deal with her, Fang Yage will not be afraid, just fight back. But this kind of good treatment for her will make Fang Yage have no idea where to start, what happened?

"Can the county lord give us some advice? I don't know where this tool is custom-made? ”

A girl in a yellow shirt asked, a little embarrassed on her face. She knew that this unique skill must have been learned by the county lord of Anning with great effort, and she would definitely not want to tell others under normal circumstances. But she really likes those carved flowers, and if she can do it, it will be a proud skill in her in-laws' family in the future.

Although the restraint on women in the current dynasty is not as strong as before, it still talks about three from four virtues, if she can be praised in cooking or female popularity, then the future mother-in-law will definitely be more satisfied with herself. This girl has already been married, but her status is lower, and she is afraid that her future mother-in-law will look down on her, so she rashly asks each other.

Seeing the girl's timid expression, Fang Yage's heart softened a little, and he said: "Since you like me to carve one for you, it's okay, but you still need to figure out this knife work by yourself, and it can't be explained clearly in a few words." You can start with the simplest things, and when you get used to it, it will become natural. ”

Fang Yage said and picked up a carrot, this carrot has a tight texture and is the most suitable for carving. I saw Fang Yage remove the skin of the carrot, revealing the delicate inside, and then the knife turned or carved, the strength and angle of each knife were accurate to the extreme, and a cute little rabbit was carved.

The woman in yellow gently took the little rabbit in Fang Ya's singer, with a look of admiration and amazement, at this time, the female companion next to her scrambled to see, and the girl said that she should be careful, and then handed it to others. A few little girls and bunnies holding carrots chattered non-stop.

There are one and two, more and more little girls begged Fang Yage to carve some small things for them, and Fang Yage did not shirk, no matter what kind of ingredients, they could show different styles in her hands. Peony flowers, small goldfish...... The flowers and melons of various shapes seemed to come to life under Fang Yage's hands, and the atmosphere here became more and more lively, and Fang Qiaoqian's face became more and more ugly.
