Chapter 14: Tumbler and Sesame Paste

Vinegar is very expensive, some drink it, go mix it up and make a few friends, look at your mother, I will make Wang Situ's favorite Mrs. Lei, a friend, with a big face!

Xie Wan was choked by his aunt's words. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It makes sense, I can't argue with it.

Xie Anxin mourned for the bear child, and now vinegar has not yet been popularized into the public family, because it is rare, so expensive, and the person who uses it is more identious.

Xie Shang had already gotten used to Jiao's temperament, and said slowly: "Aunt Jiao has connections in the Wang family, this is a good thing, it is not easy to get a quota for entering the house, I don't know what the second uncle means?" ”

This is asking Father Xie's opinion, Jiao's must have annoyed Father Xie for a long time if he did this.

"The master said, let Wan'er go and see the world." Jiao Shi saw Xie Shang loosen his mouth, and the laugh lines in the corners of his eyes deepened a little.

Xie An, who was originally laughing secretly, suddenly stopped laughing, only feeling that Jiao's intentions were good, which made him very envious of his fourth brother Xie Wan, who had no mother in two lifetimes.

Parents all over the world, everything is planned for the child, the bear child is really happy, Xie An glanced at the bear child, and the two of them sat on the small table with the river shrimp on the side to eat.

Xie An asked while eating: "Tell the third brother, which family will have children at the small bamboo forest party?" ”

Xie Wan snapped his fingers and came one by one: "They are all close to our age, Ah Jing and Hu Zhi of the Situ family, and Ah You of the Ji family next door, we all play together." ”

That Ji family Ayou stole five stone powder with Xie Wan, Xie An wrote it down, and inquired before, Ji You's grandfather Ji Zhan is a representative of the Jiangdong Shi clan and has a high reputation.

"There are also the most famous Gu Lu families in Jiangdong, Gu Yuezhi and his sister Gu Qingyue I don't know very well, but these two are extremely talented in painting. Lu Na has met a few times, and he is more fierce than your brother......"

Speaking of this, the bear child lowered his voice, and Xie An gave him a blank look.

The second brother Xie Ju also came over and added: "Wang Jing, Wang Huzhi, Gu Yuezhi and Lu Na are all in the weak fish pond, and Ah Jing is Wang Situ's own son and has obtained the true inheritance of his calligraphy; Wang Huzhi is the son of Wang Shijiang, who is a peerless calligrapher and painter, and Wang Shijiang was ranked first on the ink soul list when he was alive, but unfortunately he died of illness two years ago, and Wang Huzhi himself was not in good health. ”

"This Lu Na is the son of Lu Play, and Lu Play is good at real books, and ranks second on the Ink Soul List. Gu Yuezhi's painting is excellent, and his family is quite influential in Jiangdong. ”

Wang Jing, Wang Huzhi, Gu Yuezhi, Lu Na, these names should be indispensable to be compared with himself in the future, Xie An thought, all of them have deep backgrounds and family roots, and this Gu Yuezhi should be the father of Gu Kaizhi, who is famous for his paintings in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In the history he knows, there are two people who are the most outstanding in calligraphy and painting in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the calligraphy saint Wang Xizhi and Gu Kaizhi, the originator of ink landscape painting.

After a long reverie, Xie An forgot to eat.

"Ahri won't be frightened, right, I haven't seen this kind of world after staying in the countryside for a few years, the Situ family banquet is all Gaomen scholars, when the court is powerful, no matter how arrogant the Jiangdong clan is, they will come to eat this meal......" After the Jiao family got Xie Shang here, he looked back at Xie An's distracted appearance, and couldn't help but start to barabarize, "Wan'er, you have to take care of your third brother when the time comes, don't let him lose the face of my Xie family by stage fright." ”

Xie Wan almost whispered, "How can the third brother be afraid, the third brother is so fierce......"

Xie An came to his senses, smiled at Jiao's Minglang, and patted the bear child's shoulder, "Thank you Aunt Jiao for worrying, it will be troublesome for the fourth brother to take care of me at that time." ”

Jiao's dumbfounded, he didn't expect Xie An to follow her words again, and then threw down a sentence, "Wan'er, tell your third brother more about the rules, this is not a few days before the winter solstice!" ”

The winter solstice is approaching, the ancestor worship season, and the Situ family banquet is coming, the Xie family is a little busy, the father brothers are busy worshipping ancestors and official affairs, and the fourth brother Xie Wan is also busy, busy being guarded by the Jiao family to practice words and recite poems, and the people who have a little leisure at home are the second brother Xie Ju of the alchemy madman and the unemployed homeless cousin Xie Shang for the time being, as well as Xie An who followed the butts of the two brothers.

The second brother Xie is addicted to the art of alchemy and metaphysical cultivation, although he has not entered the official career, but his reputation is not low, and people often ask him to buy pills for health preservation and treatment.

In ancient times, alchemy was like a chemical experiment in later generations, for example, on this day, Xie An smelled a strong smell of vinegar as soon as he entered the second brother's alchemy room.

This delicate vinegar in Jiao's mouth is a medicine of alchemy in the hands of the second brother Xie Yi, and I have to say that the ancient alchemists are all pioneers on the road of science.

I just begged the second brother not to blow up the Dan pharmacy with sulfur one day, so Xie An learned that the second brother was mostly a research drug, and there were not many heavy metals in the Dan room, otherwise Xie An would have thought of throwing it away, after all, heavy metals would kill people if they were eaten.

The most important thing in alchemy is fire alchemy, calcining, refining, moxibustion, melting, pumping, flying, excellent and other techniques in turn, in ancient times when science was not prosperous, the chemists who could use these methods were of course masters in the eyes of ordinary people.

Xie An Daoming came to understand, "Second brother, cough cough, I was still worried about the taste after eating your sesame honey pills last time, so I came to ask for some raw sesame seeds." ”

Xie Ju was writing hard in the vinegar mist, as if he was making a record of information.

Sesame is also an alchemy elixir, Xie according to him to eat is the "Yellow Emperor Neijing" in the nine steamed and nine dried sesame honey pills, there is a legend that this book is from the Penglai Pavilion to seek, divided into "Su Wen" and "Lingshu" two articles, "Su Wen" is a disease record, "Lingshu" is a needle, spread to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are few scholars.

"What are you going to do with raw sesame seeds?" Although Xie Ji had a problem in his mouth, he pointed to the direction of the medicine box with his hand, and he couldn't help but admonish, "Eat more and get hot." ”

Xie An took a small bag of black sesame seeds and pinched his nose and left, the air outside was still fresh!

He wants sesame seeds to eat, and the children have no other entertainment except for eating, and this is what he wants to make for Wang Xizhi to eat-sesame paste.

The tumbler that answered her has already made a few.

Raw eggshell crush a small opening at the top, pour out the egg white and egg white, wash the eggshell and dry it, from the second brother to come to the alchemy of the broken lead, carefully put the lead block at the bottom of the eggshell, and then melt the candle, pour wax water into the shell, and fix the lead.

With weight at the bottom, the eggshell will not fall.

Finally, you have to use paint to dot the facial features on the eggshell.

Xie An drew a few rabbits, because Wang Xizhi's nickname is rabbit, but when he took the rabbit tumbler to the girl, he was laughed at by the girl.

Wang Xi poked the tumbler with his finger on the face, and giggled, "Ahri, my name is Ah Su, this 'Su' is not the rabbit of the white rabbit, but the meaning of the Chu people, and the dodder is the tiger." ”

Xie An was not convinced, "But the rabbit is also a rabbit, why don't you take the meaning of the white rabbit?" And Ah Su is as cute as a rabbit. ”

"That's different," Wang Xizhi's soft voice was a little arrogant, "Rabbits are meant to be eaten, but tigers are not, tigers eat people." ”

"Yes, yes, we are going to eat people." Xie An couldn't cry or laugh, this girl didn't leave to eat when she spoke.

Wang Xizhi puffed up his cheeks, his eyes were inseparable, he was very focused, he suddenly sniffed, as if he smelled something, and raised his eyes to look behind Xie An, who was actually carrying a food box.

"What is this?" Wang Xizhi asked, his fingers were frozen red like coral jade beads dangling in front of Xie An's eyes.

Xie An said: "Didn't you say before that I would teach you how to write, but I heard you say that when I read the book, I feel dizzy and want to vomit, so I can't learn ......to write so far."

The smile on Wang Xizhi's face froze, and he couldn't help but hang his head.

"But I have a way."

Xie An took out the sesame paste in the food box, and there was a large white porcelain plate and a freshly opened pen on the table one by one.

Wang Xizhi looked at the bowl of sesame paste and couldn't help but say: "It's not like ink, but it's very fragrant." ”

Xie An explained: "Yam sesame paste, yam and sesame seeds are ground and boiled, black, can be made into ink, and can be eaten. ”

Wang Xizhi said to himself, "Why do Ahri have so many strange ideas in his head? ”

Xie An dipped a pen in sesame paste, and then wrote the words "Wang Xizhi" on a white porcelain plate.

When he finished writing and raised his head, he found that Wang Xizhi was already holding the bowl and taking a sip, "It's so fragrant." ”

Yes, the matter of learning words had to be stopped, Xie An found that the child's heart is easy to control, for example, Xie Wan needs sugar and whips to tame, while Wang Xizhi is simpler and delicious.

Before leaving, Wang Xizhi suddenly asked him, "Do you want to come to my house for dinner on the winter solstice?" ”

Xie An said: "Brother said that I was on the invitation list. ”

Wang Xizhi nodded, "After the winter solstice, the door in the backyard will be closed...... That night was probably the last time we saw each other this year, and after you had a party in the small bamboo forest, would you like to come to me? ”

"Okay."

Xie An also wondered that the back door to Wang Xizhi's courtyard was always open these days, as if someone knew that he was coming, so he deliberately did not set up a door, but the Situ family had its own rules, so it was inconvenient for him to ask more.

After Xie An left, Wang Xizhi and the geese in the cold pool should have been left in the small courtyard, but today someone had already hidden in a corner of the courtyard, quietly watching the two children, and it was not until Xie An left that the person appeared.

The middle-aged man has a crown and a tail, his eyes are restrained, his muscles are like youth, and he does not look old at all. A feather fan shaped like a leaf in his hand is a must-have for scholars and Qing Tanners, and the other is holding an altar of green plums, which Xie An sent to the altar.

Wang Xizhi's little face was full of displeasure, "Uncle Long, this plum is mine." ”

The middle-aged man said: "Oh, you have forgotten the method of health preservation, plum children should not eat more, and Uncle Long will share your worries for you." ”

Wang Xizhi bit his lip and suddenly stretched out his hand to the sky, "Uncle Long, look, there are geese!" ”

The middle-aged man didn't squint, and at a glance he pierced the girl's ghost idea, wanting to divert his attention and take away the green plum altar, thinking beautifully.

Wang Xizhi stood in front of his uncle dejectedly, and pulled the corner of his clothes, "Uncle Along, I promise not to eat much, and now that I am about to retreat, let me keep it." ”

"Uncle Aaron" laughed out loud, "It's rare to see you coquettish, it seems that you get along well with the kitten on the other side these days, and you are in a good mood, and you have a little bit of a little girl's coquettishness." ”

Wang Xizhi restrained his thoughts, shook his head and said, "People call Ahri, not kittens." By the way, he just sent this thing, it's called a tumbler, I think this thing looks like Longbo, no matter how this Sima family treats you, you just won't fall, if you don't fall, my Dajin won't fall. ”
