Chapter 71: Stepping into Autumn
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Pang Yulang and Pang Jingyi walked away again to find their favorite leaves.
Seeing the two brothers and sisters walking away, Chu Wushuang's face turned red all of a sudden.
"Rouge, what were you laughing at?"
Where will Rouge say.
"No, I didn't laugh anything, I just suddenly wanted to laugh."
After speaking, he looked at the leaves that were still hanging on the branches and smiled.
That smile went straight into Wushuang's heart, and many years later, Wushuang recalled everything with rouge.
sighed, maybe their bond is the leaf.
I lowered my head and concentrated on looking for the rouge of the leaves, but I don't know what happened, but I still didn't find the one that suited my heart.
The rouge who does not believe in evil has to find a perfect leaf.
But how can there be perfection in the world, and after looking for a long time, I barely found a piece that suits my heart.
Everyone else had found their favorite leaves and walked to the table next to them and sat down.
The subordinate who was waiting on the side had already brought tools.
Rouge is the first time, not very good at operating, looking at a few of them awkwardly on the side, making everything they do.
In the end, it was the first time, not skilled enough, and a leaf tore a hole like this.
It was the only leaf Rouge found.
Some of the frustrated Rouge put his tools aside, not wanting to look at the leaves that had been damaged by himself.
Knowing that Rouge only had one leaf, Ika picked out one from her basket and handed it to Rouge.
"Miss, I still have it here."
Rouge, who is sulking, where will it be picked.
When Ika saw this, she started her own hand and handed the half-made leaf in her hand to Rouge.
"Miss, how to make this dried leaf, I will, let me teach you."
At the end of the day, Rouge is not a person who admits defeat easily, and listened to Ika's words.
Instead of taking the half-made leaf, he took a new leaf from Ika's basket again.
With the experience of the last time, this time I am much more proficient in making it.
But it was still a little clumsy, and it was full of dirt, and I took the excess dirt and other dirt on the leaves, and slowly cleaned it up with small tweezers.
Rouge didn't understand, why didn't he use water to wash the leaves?
"Jingyi, why don't we wash these leaves with water, what a waste of time with small tweezers."
Rouge, who made dried leaves for the first time, didn't know why, so he asked.
Without waiting for Pang Jingyi to answer, Chu Wushuang laughed first.
"Rouge, are you stupid? Haven't you done dried leaves before? ”
Seeing Chu Wushuang laughing at himself, this was obviously to avenge his own joke just now.
He said angrily: "I don't understand, so I'm going to ask, I know you're laughing at me, no more than some people, and I don't even know if others laugh at him." ”
Although Rouge's words were not specified, the Pang brothers and sisters didn't know, but Chu Wushuang did know that this was talking about himself.
"Rouge, this unwashed leaves are these leaves that fall from the tree, they are all dried and fall off naturally, if they are stained with water, if we dry them for a while, it is easy to break, and the leaves stained with water are not easy to preserve."
Seeing the two of them like this, Pang Jingyi hurriedly explained.
Rouge listened to the explanation, and he didn't bother to deal with Chu Wushuang.
He just lowered his head and sorted out his leaves.
The others were more than a dozen leaves, and Rouge, who had nothing to do, went to the garden to pick up some and dealt with them with tools.
By the time everyone had disposed of the leaves in their hands, it was almost time to eat at noon.
This Pang Mansion is also the same as the rules of Chu Mansion, and it is usually eaten in its own courtyard.
The next person reminded Pang Jingyi that it was time to go back to the courtyard for dinner.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, this garden was built on the central axis of Pang Mansion, about the same distance from Pang Yulang and Pang Jingyi's yards.
Everyone discussed that they should put all the unfinished leaves in this pavilion first, and when they were done eating, they would come and continue to complete the next steps.
When Rouge went out, he made up his mind not to go back to eat at noon, and informed Liu in advance, so Liu was not in a hurry when it was time to eat.
followed Pang Jingyi to Pang Jingyi's yard.
No wonder the last time Rouge invited a few young ladies to Zhao's house to play, they would say that Rouge's yard was big.
The Zhao family has a small population, and the courtyard where each master lives is naturally large, although this Pang Mansion is also very spacious, but in the end there are many masters.
Pang Jingyi's yard is indeed too small compared to Rouge's yard.
Seeing that the master had returned to the courtyard, the villain on the side had already set up all the food.
Yi Xiang went to the next room to eat with Pang Jingyi's personal maid.
When I saw the food on the table, most of it was meaty.
"Jingyi, aren't you tired of eating these?"
"No, look, isn't there a vegetarian dish?"
"It's good if it's not greasy, it's good if it's not greasy."
The relationship between the two has taken a leap forward because Rouge took the initiative to play with Pang Jingyi today.
Pang Jingyi was not as cautious as before.
"Rouge, I know that if you say that I eat these, it will be bad for my body, but I don't eat all of these on weekdays, and I also eat a lot of vegetarian dishes, but I am easy to gain weight, and it can be said that I will gain weight if I drink a glass of water."
It is said that you will gain weight if you drink a glass of water, and it is the first time I have heard of rouge.
"Then you didn't look for a husband to see?"
Pang Jingyi smiled, looked at Rouge and said.
"I'm normal, everyone's physique is different, I'm the kind of physique that is easy to get fat. You see if my second brother and I are both fat. ”
"Indeed, Pang Er Gongzi's figure is also a little strong."
Of course, Rouge said that he was strong with a positive word, but in fact, he was actually fat.
"Actually, it's really not that we eat too much or eat well, my eldest brother is the same as us, he is now self-reliant, but he is still fat."
Rouge picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of braised pork, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
"Jingyi, but your chef's cooking is really delicious, and it's on par with our chef's skills."
"My mother likes to be particular about eating, and this cook seems to have spent a lot of energy to find someone."
"It's hard to find a chef who can make this craft. The cook in my family was brought out of the capital by my grandmother. ”
After eating a meal, Rouge originally thought that Pang Jingyi was embarrassed to say that she was fat because she ate it.
But after a meal, Rouge saw that Pang Jingyi really hadn't eaten much, and she didn't even eat as much as Rouge.
No, Rouge belongs to the kind of thinner shape, and Pang Jingyi is half a head taller than Rouge.
It doesn't make sense, I don't eat as much as rouge.
"Jingyi, have you eaten enough?"
Pang Jingyi, who picked up the mouthwash on the side and was about to rinse her mouth, stopped her movements and looked at Rouge, "I'm full, what's the matter, you haven't eaten enough." ”
"No, no, I'm full. It's just that you don't eat much, and I'm worried that you're not full. ”
Pang Jingyi treats Rouge as a true friend, and she is not polite with Rouge.
"Do you think I eat so little, I don't eat enough, but I usually eat so much, but I'm still so fat."
Pang Jingyi had no reason to coax Rouge, and Rouge knew the reason.
"Well, that's fine, let's go to the garden."
"Okay."
After the two finished eating and cleaning up, the maid waited at the door.
When they arrived at the garden, they found that Pang Yulang and Chu Wushuang were already waiting there.
Chu Wushuang was still holding a leaf in his hand.
Seeing Rouge coming, Chu Wushuang handed the leaf to Rouge.
"When we came over just now, we found that the leaf had fallen, and when we saw that you wanted this leaf, we picked it up and gave it to you."
Pang Yulang shook the folding fan on the side and smiled slightly.
Rouge was a little confused, it was autumn, and the leaves were falling.
Where else is it necessary to use a folding fan.
Rouge took the leaf and said thank you.
A few people began to make dried leaves that had not yet been completed.
Once the leaves are processed, the next step is drying.
The old woman brought a small stove with a red-hot charcoal fire and a small mat on it.
"Rouge, put all these leaves on this mat, and then cover them with a layer of cloth, and after a while, the charcoal fire will absorb the moisture of these leaves."
"That's right."
Rouge followed Pang Jingyi to put all the leaves on the stove.
The stove was so small that only a dozen leaves could be put down at once, and it was divided several times.
The dried leaves look a little burnt.
"Rouge, don't try it, it'll break."
Chu Wushuang kindly reminded on the side.
Rouge really listened to Chu Wushuang's words, and carefully took the dried leaves.
Pang Jingyi saw the intelligent rouge, and actually believed Chu Wushuang's words like this.
With a smile and a groan, he solved Chu Wushuang's "deception".
"Rouge, don't listen to his nonsense, Second Prince Chu, tease you. Although the leaves were dried, how could they be broken so easily because of the lines of the leaves in them, and this stove didn't dry all the moisture of the leaves, but still retained some of them. ”
Listening to Pang Jingyi's words, Rouge looked at Chu Wushuang angrily.
After a lot of tossing, finally all the leaves were dried.
The next man brought pen and ink, and several of them were writing something on the leaves.
Yan Yan thought about it, picked up the pen and wrote the words peace and joy on the leaves.
There is another process for the dried leaves after writing, which is the sealing layer.
The next person takes a transparent glue, stirs it well with a brush, applies it to the surface of the leaves, and allows the leaves to air dry naturally.
Waiting for the leaves to dry, everyone chatted casually.
In Rouge's opinion, happy times are always short-lived, the leaves are dry, and the time is not early.
took the made leaves and said goodbye to the Pang family.
Chu Wushuang and Rouge walked out of the Pang Mansion together.
Wushuang still doesn't know what Rouge is laughing at in the garden.
"Rouge, what are you laughing at me in the Pangfu Garden?"
Rouge was blocked by Chu Wushuang, stopped, and wrapped his two hands around him.
"Guess what, guess what I'm laughing at? You can't guess. Outline. ”
After speaking, he made a provocative grimace at Chu Wushuang.
His body flashed, and he ran past Chu Wushuang's side.
Chu Wushuang looked at the person who was already missing in front of him, turned around, and Rouge had already walked away.
Shaking his head, he walked towards Chu Mansion with Holly.
Rouge was very happy today, and when he returned home, he showed the dried leaves made in Pang Mansion to Liu.
He said with a very sweet mouth: "Grandmother, you see that I learned how to make dried leaves one day today, but I just made one." ”
"Really? Let me see. ”
"Grandmother, look at that, there's still my handwriting on it."
"Peace and joy."
"Yes, grandmother, I hope you can always be safe and happy, I originally wanted to write a long life, I think it's a little old-fashioned, hehe, these words, grandmother likes it or not."
Liu held the dried leaf in one hand and the rouge in the other.
"I like it, whatever Rouge gives to my grandmother, my grandmother likes it."
After playing with his hands for a while, Liu handed the dried leaves to the grandmother beside him.
For this move, Rouge is no stranger.
From childhood to adulthood, everything that she, Hazy and Zhao Zijun gave to Liu and Zhao Changqing, no matter how big or small, would be put into a box by the two of them, carefully kept, and at the end of each year, they would have to take it out to compare who had more.
Of course, it is always Liu who wins.
