Chapter 228: Peach Carving
Bury the walnuts with the skin in the sand, and after a few days, the skin of the walnut will rot, and it will be soaked in the river, and the rest will be a wrinkled and hard-shelled walnut. Yao Qing and Xiao Coco ate vigorously, but were stopped by Yao Huang and stipulated that they could only eat five a day, so as not to eat too much and have unsmooth stools.
"Second sister, what are you looking for?" Which walnut is not eaten, why is the second sister still picking and picking.
"Of course, it's a beautiful walnut." Yao Huang picked out the lion's head walnuts from the walnut pile, and picked out a pair of chicken heart walnuts, and he was in a very happy mood.
"Are good-looking walnuts tastier?" Yao Qing picked up the two lion heads suspiciously, and found that their appearance was very similar to the stone lion head in front of the big house, and the texture was deep and clear, the size was the same, the weight was comparable, and it was very beautiful.
"No, pick it out!" Yao Huang continued to rummage through walnuts.
"Collection?"
"Can't you?" Yao Huang had a pair of lion heads in his last life, and he still gambled on green skins. In the last life, walnuts are very collectible, and a pair of good walnuts can even be sold for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Therefore, the activity of gambling on green skins has risen. Gambling on green skins is the same as gambling on stones, starting from raw materials, buying at a very low price before the walnuts have not removed the green skin, and then betting on luck. If you are lucky, you can bloom beautiful and valuable walnuts, and if you are unlucky, you can only bloom ordinary walnuts, which is a loss.
"Yes, of course. You can say anything! Yao Qing said doggedly, "What else do you want, I'll help you choose." ”
"Find something that looks different and I'm going to use it for carving!"
"What can walnuts carve into?"
"There are so many styles! I'll show you when I'm done! Yao Huang put all the selected walnuts into a small basket the size of a bowl. Carry into the house. There is no such handicraft art as nuclear carving in this world. Yao Huang thought about carving out the finished product and asking Chun Yu Jinfeng to sell it. Let the nuclear sculpture regain its brilliance in this world. I believe that the magical art of nuclear carving can conquer the people of this world. Although she has not learned the craft of nuclear carving, she has the divine sense and flexible hands of the Jindan period, and it is not difficult for Yao Huang to carve.
It took three days for Yao Huang to carve out a nuclear boat work, "Su Shi Travels to Red Cliffs". She was most impressed by this work, and when she was studying classical Chinese in middle school, she studied Wei Xueyun's "The Story of the Nuclear Boat", and it was because of this article that she began to collect walnuts and nuclear carvings.
Yao Huang's carving can be described as ingenious. Yao Qing, Wenren Chiba and Chun Yu Jinfeng all fell in love with her work, and the three of them took the best three works for themselves, which made Yao Huang amused. The rest of the works were sold by Chun Yu Jinfeng for a large price, which not only earned a lot of money for the Yao family, but also made the art of nuclear carving known to people in this world. Nowadays, there are already skilled carvers who try to carve walnuts, peach pits, and almond pits.
"Second sister, make fried snails tonight!" Yao Qing happily walked in with a basket of snails.
Touching snails is one of the favorite activities of rural children, not only can they play, but they can also eat snail meat. There are a lot of snails by the paddy field river, and Yao Qing and his friends have been busy all morning. The harvest was very rich, and one person carried a basket of snails home.
Yao Huang took the basket. I saw that the size of the snail was almost the size of a quail egg.
"Let's go pick some perilla leaves." Yao Huang instructed his younger brother that fried snails should be made more delicious by putting perilla leaves.
"Order!" Yao Qing ran out of the door with a smile.
Wash the snail twice, rub it with your hands for a few more times, rub off the things on the surface of the snail shell, make a basin of water, put a few spoons of salt, pour the snail into the basin, leave it for a few hours, and let the snail spit out the dirt in the shell.
The fried snails are only made at dinner, and it is still Yao Hong's cooking at noon, although the taste is also good, but Yao Qing thinks about the fried snails at night, and he doesn't eat a lot.
"Look at your useless look!" Yao Huang sighed in the sky, how did his younger brother become a foodie?
Yao Qing defended unconvinced: "It is human nature to love to eat. The second sister still doesn't like food very much?! "Don't think that if you don't eat much, I can't see through your foodie nature. Every time there is something delicious, the second sister's eyes are ten degrees brighter than usual.
A carrier pigeon flew down from the sky and landed on a wooden shelf in the yard. Wenren Qianye walked over and grabbed a handful of rice to reward the hard work, took out a note from the bamboo tube on its feet, read it quickly, and handed it to Yao Huang, who also walked out of the house.
Yao Huang couldn't help but smile after seeing it: "So you can't underestimate women!" ”
"Can't underestimate anyone?" Yao Qing asked.
"Xiahou Ruofu! In a few days, she will become the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yao Huang said with a smile.
Yao Qing was taken aback: "That woman? Can't you? ”
Yao Huang knocked Yao Qing with a burst chestnut: "Don't underestimate women!" Remember, the price of underestimating a woman can be miserable. Open your eyes and look carefully, Emperor Jingyuan's good days will be over! ”
"There won't be any more wars, will we?" Yao Hong asked worriedly. War is something that all ordinary people do not want to see, and those above are vying for power and profit, and it is only the poor people who suffer.
"Don't worry, big sister! Some people won't allow that to happen. Yao Huang didn't say Puyang Moshi's name, she and Wenren Qianye didn't want Yao Hong and Yao Qing to worry about these things, they just wanted them to live easily and happily.
The topic ends here, after eating, I heard that Qianye went to Anping County to find Chun Yu Jinfeng, what plans will the two of them have next, Yao Huang is not interested in knowing the road.
"Second sister, are you going to make dinner? I'm here to help! Yao Qing followed behind Yao Huang excitedly, his eyes glancing straight into the basin containing the snails.
"Wash your hands, and help me pick out the snail meat later." Yao Huang commanded.
"Order!" Yao Qingxing rushed to the well to fetch water and wash his hands, and by the way, he took out a piece of rice jelly from it and let the eldest sister eat it.
Yao Huang put them into the pot, cooked them over high heat, put them on the low table in the kitchen after cold water, took out two slender bamboo sticks, and picked out the snail meat from the shell with Yao Qing. The snail shell is big and the meat is small, and only two bowls of snail meat are picked for a pot of snails, but it is enough for the family to have a delicious meal. Yao Qing took the snail meat to wash, and Yao Huang began to prepare the ingredients for the fried snails. Stir-fried snails are a supreme delicacy for the farmer's family. In the past, when life was not good, Yao Qing often went to the field to touch the snails to improve the life of the family. It's a pity that Yao Huang hadn't worn it at that time, and the taste of the snail he made was 108,000 miles away from now. (To be continued......)
