Soon it was the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month, Qixi Festival, which is the day when the legendary Weaver Girl and the Cowherd met at the Magpie Bridge. It is also Xiaoyun's birthday, and this is what Yang Dalang deliberately took the initiative to tell Mo Nan. I didn't expect that this other world also has Tanabata.

She got up early in the morning and took out her clothes and a few books given by Mr. Zhang to dry.

Before the end of the world, many traditional festivals have become gimmicks for merchants to engage in promotions, and there is no festival atmosphere at all, and most people do not understand the meaning of the festival.

I still remember one time on the bus, the attendant chatted with the driver and said that today is July 7th, it is Qixi Festival, do you want to celebrate.

She couldn't help it at that time, and said: "The seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is Qixi Festival, and today's July 7th is the Qiqi Lugou Bridge Incident. ”

The atmosphere was very awkward on the spot, but fortunately she got off at the station soon. But for some reason, she remembered it very well.

Finally, you can feel the activities of these traditional festivals, and the previous Dragon Boat Festival was missed. I heard Xiaoyun say that because the river here is straight and wide, the annual dragon boat race is held here, which is very lively.

In fact, Mo Nan regretted that he didn't eat the zongzi, think about the freshly cooked meat dumplings, peel off the yellow-brown bamboo leaves, and inside is the glutinous rice that has been cooked softly, and you can eat salty and fragrant pork belly and shiitake mushrooms when you bite into it. Or eat sweet rice dumplings, bite into the sweet bean paste, and drool when you think about it.

In my previous life, I could buy any food in the supermarket or in a treasure, but it didn't have the delicious taste I remembered when I was a child. Perhaps the food made on the assembly line is far less delicious than the food made by hand.

After a nap, pick up the prepared gifts, take Terry and set off. Make an appointment with Xiaoyun and accompany her until the evening.

Speaking of gifts, Mo Nan had thought about it for a long time before. It's really not as convenient as in the previous life, and everything can be purchased online. But I always feel that I am missing that heart.

She remembered that there was a young researcher in the research compound, a girl who was very respectful of natural skin care. I will make some skin care products for everyone, and the effect is not bad.

Later, Monan was attracted to her, and also learned to make some handmade soaps, skin care lotions and the like.

It just so happens that now I can make some handmade soap for Xiaoyun as a gift, but since I can't collect flowers that can be used, I have to make them all mint-flavored.

I thought I had to go to the woods and find flowers and plants to come back. Such as osmanthus, roses, lavender and the like. Only osmanthus can also be cooked, and many things can be eaten, such as osmanthus cake. I hope it's here, maybe it's easy to find out in August, and it's fragrant in August.

As soon as I arrived at the ready-to-wear shop, I saw Xiao Yun holding a nanxiang wood bracelet and looking at it. Although the style is relatively simple, each bead is polished to a shiny shine, and great care is taken.

"Yo, I'm back to my soul." He waved his hand in front of the little girl's eyes.

"Xiao Nan is here." Blushing, he carefully placed the bracelet in the jewelry box.

"Look at you like this, this shouldn't be given to you by Brother Da Lang, right?" Make fun of the shy little girl.

"Hmm." Xiaoyun nodded very honestly, and then his eyes flashed: "Brother Da Lang made it himself." ”

"Oh, so with the gift he made himself, he doesn't need my gift." Carrying the things in his hand, he turned around with a smile and pretended to leave.

"Xiao Nan, good Xiao Nan." Xiaoyun tugged at her sleeve and wouldn't let her go. "You like to laugh at me."

"Hee-hee, okay, here you go, I also made it myself." Deliberately put the two words of my own hand to bite the accent.

A delicate bamboo basket was taken out of the bamboo basket, and six pale green skin care soaps were neatly stacked inside. When she did it, all the ingredients were ready, the soap was ready, but she found that there was no mold. In the end, she had to use the lid of the bamboo jar as a mold, and the finished product was a little rough, and she was a little worried that Xiaoyun wouldn't like it.

"This is a skin soap for you, you can use it when washing your face and bathing, it's mint flavored."

Xiaoyun hugged her happily: "Thank you Xiaonan." ”

"Ah, yes." He took out two relatively large pieces of skin soap wrapped in oilcloth and said, "This is made for Aunt Li and Aunt Yang, and I will give it to them later." What's delicious and fun about Tanabata today? I haven't had a normal Tanabata yet. ”

"I've made a beggar fruit, I'm going to give it to you." Then he ran to the kitchen in a hurry.

I saw her come back with a plate of "Qiaoguo" made of flour, with various shapes, fried in oil.

"Taste it." Place the plate in front of Monan.

After washing your hands, pick up a piece and put it in your mouth, it has the aroma of sesame seeds, and it is crispy and crispy after frying.

"It's delicious, our Xiaoyun's craftsmanship is great." Mo Nan praised Xiaoyun vigorously.

After eating the fruit, Xiaoyun took her to the courtyard and pointed to a basin of water: "This water has been dried, come and throw needles." ”

After speaking, he gently put the needle flat on the water, the needle did not sink, under the water, the shadow of the needle appeared, a little bent, Xiaoyun said happily: "This is a coincidence." Xiao Nan give it a try. ”

So she also took a needle and put it on the water, and she also managed to float, but the needle shadow was scissor-shaped. Looking at Xiaoyun and asked, "What about this?" ”

"Well, well, our Xiao Nan is also a skillful person, this is also a coincidence."

"Hehe, this is the light of our birthday girl." patted Xiaoyun's tender white face. This kind of competition custom should be interesting for a large group of people, but it seems that there are only girls of their age in this village at the moment.

At this time, Aunt Li came over and said, "I have boiled water with cypress leaves and peach branches, you go and wash and bathe." ”

"Well, thank you, Aunt Li (mother)."

Aunt Li watched the two little girls walk hand in hand to the bathhouse, and there was a white hair ball at her feet that quickly followed. Smile and pick up the freshly made clothes and put them on the shower shelf.

"I'll put my clothes here, and you'll have to change them later."

"Got it."

"Ah, Aunt Li, I made skin care soap, one is yours and the other is Aunt Yang's. It's in the small cloud room. Menan shouted as he stretched out his little head from the bathhouse.

I almost forgot the gift for Aunt Li, but I had already taken off my clothes.

Aunt Li patted her on the head, "I know, I'll go get it, go take a shower and don't catch a cold." ”

"Hmm."

When the two of them finished washing, they saw two sets of clothes on the shelf, one blue and one green. Xiaoyun took the green one, and Mo Nan took the blue one.

A single skirt of different colors but the same style, embroidered with fluttering butterflies on the skirt.

The two of them wore their middle coats and washed the hair first, dried it for Terry, and helped each other twist their hair. Monanri's heart is crazy, isn't it a game? How to wash your hair is so troublesome.

Wait until your hair is half-dry and no longer dripping, then put on new clothes and go to the yard to dry.

finally waited for her hair to dry, and Xiaoyun helped herself and her comb her hair.

Wait for Aunt Li to finish bathing and clean up. Eat some pastries and go out together. However, Aunt Li and Aunt Yang had an appointment, so they let the two little girls go shopping by themselves.

"Pay attention to safety, and go home early when you're done."

"Hmm." The two nodded.

Unlike the last time the celebration was held, the streets were bustling with small vendors selling snacks and gadgets.

"There are so many people, I haven't seen so many people in normal times?" Monan had some doubts.

"Oh, that's some people from the nearby Zhuangzi, and our village is relatively large, so everyone comes here every festival."

The sharp-eyed Xiaoyun saw Yang Dalang coming from a distance. "Brother Da Lang."

stared at Xiao Yun, who was wearing new clothes and dressed carefully, and said, "Xiao Yun is so beautiful today. ”

looked at the Nanxiang wood bracelet in her hand again and asked, "Is this bracelet called a hand?" Do you like it? ”

Xiaoyun, who was blushing at the sight, immediately responded, "Very good, I like it very much, thank you, Brother Lang." ”

"Someone has already put lights on the river, let's go and see it together." Yang Dalang said to Xiaoyun.

Mo Nan silently hugged Taili as a humanoid light bulb, although Xiaoyun didn't care, but Yang Dalang glared at her.

At the beginning, the gentle little Zhengtai has transformed into a strong man.

Walking to the river together, there were also many people, and the river was covered with lights. A variety of shapes, including lotus flowers, boats, lanterns, and the reflection of lights and water form a colorful pattern that dazzles the eyes.

Recently, there was nothing to do, and the homework left by Old Man Zhang was also done, so Mo Nan decided to go hunting in the bamboo forest.

Telly is reluctant to drink horned goat's milk these days, and can only occasionally feed it some mush to improve its taste. See if you can catch a pheasant or pick up an egg.

After this period of practice, eight out of ten arrows can be firmly inserted into the target.

Continue to collect seasonings, the bamboo fungus is no longer refreshing, and it is estimated that it is out of season, so the seasoning must be collected more.

The ones collected in front are made into spices, ground into powder, and placed in large bamboo tubes.

She found that when it was still granular, it could only be stacked with a maximum of 99 pieces, but after it became powdery, it could be placed in a bamboo tube and only took up one space.

So Mo Nan deliberately went to the bamboo forest to look for it and found a kind of bamboo called empty bamboo. The knots of this type of bamboo are particularly long and thick. Therefore, I made a lot of large bamboo tubes, which are much larger than the bamboo tubes I traded with the money shopkeeper before.

When she arrived at the bamboo forest, she found that in addition to the pheasants that were cooing everywhere, there were also long ears that popped out from time to time.

The pair of long-eared exemptions that Brother Mu gave to Xiaoyun at the beginning had already been eaten by a strong man on the grounds of reading and physical weakness.

Raise the bow and arrow in your hand and face it at a long-eared man who is not moving. One arrow hit one... The pheasants passing by, with long ears, jumped away when the arrows came at them.

Pick up the innocent pheasant and put it into the space. Because the long-eared herd was scattered, he had to put down his bow and arrows and look for the pheasant's nest to see if he could pick up the eggs.

Today I was lucky enough to find two pheasant nests and pick up six wild eggs. Make a detailed note of the location, because one of them is where the egg was picked up last time, and maybe the egg will be refreshed as well.

"Tyri, go back." With a shout, Terry, who had gone to report to his mother as soon as he came to the bamboo forest, galloped back with his little short legs.

Thinking of the pair of long-eared people who were eaten by the only strong man, they grew up a lot in just half a month. But Terry was still a small one, only the size of two palms. Nothing has changed, is it a nutritional deficiency?

Let's get some pheasant soup for it today, hopefully it'll be fine.
