The old man took a closer look at the tools Mu Li had prepared, not to mention that there were really a few meanings. Although it is a little worse than my own, it can still be used improvised.

"Shall we get started, then?" Mu Li was a little impatient.

The production of sugar paintings looks very simple, but in fact, the door inside is very deep, not as simple as it seems. If you want to depict the objects that your guests want like a flowing stream, you must first have a general understanding of everything before you can start drawing and let it take shape.

I saw that the predecessors first heated the white sugar with a warm fire, added a little brown sugar, and after the sugar melted, it was possible to stir continuously to draw the silk. By scooping a spoon with a special spoon and grasping the strength of your wrist, you can draw the general frame of the object.

"Is this me?" Mu Li repeatedly looked at the sugar paintings of his predecessors, and always felt that this was very similar to direct. It's similar to sketching, but it's much more difficult than sketching, it can't make any mistakes, and you have to start all over again if you make a mistake.

With a few simple strokes, Mu Li's outline was outlined, which was very similar to Mu Li. This kind of craft is not something that anyone can do empty-handed, and it takes a long time to make a good sugar painting.

The seniors asked Mu Li to try to draw a picture to see how Mu Li's skills were. I saw Mu Li carefully control the strength of his wrist, and drew a sugar painting that looked like a bird and a chicken with one stroke. "Laughing, I really want to practice this craft."

In fact, it is not easy to draw such a look. Everything in the world is strange, as long as you grasp one of them and draw it, then the appearance of this painting will be godlike. If the painting is exactly the same as the real thing, the meaning of the sugar painting will be lost.

The seniors are still very satisfied with Mu Li's painting skills, and it is very remarkable that he can paint sugar paintings for the first time. "The princess is really powerful, she is the most spiritual among the people the old man has ever seen, and she can understand it at all."

If it weren't for Mu Li's attainments in pastry and using sugar painting, she wouldn't have succeeded on her first attempt. Mu Li has never been good at painting, but since he opened Yixiangfang. In order to make Yixiangfang's business go to the next level, Mu Li had to think of all kinds of pastries, and the patterns on some pastries were painted by Mu Li himself.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Xu was up too early today and didn't have a good rest, so Mu Li started coughing before he could learn much. The green kite on the side hurriedly helped Mu Li to sit down, "Why don't you stop here today, anyway, we can learn slowly in the future." "The green kite is distressed by Mu Li, and she is afraid that she will relapse from her old disease.

It's so easy to invite the old man, and I can't learn half of it. "It's okay, it's just a few coughs. Come, senior, let's continue. ”

"Princess, are you sick? Or let's change the day, it's very inconvenient for the old man to bring the tools today. The old man didn't know about Mu Li's poisoning before, but looking at Mu Li's face seemed to be a little paler than what he saw just now, he was an old guy anyway, but he was a princess, how could he let the princess suffer.

The green kite supported Mu Li with both hands, "Yes, princess, let's go and rest." ”

Mu Li wanted to support it, but her body didn't listen to her words, and she couldn't lift her strength softly. "I'm really sorry, I'll come to you another day."

This broken body, why did she have a problem with me at this time, I really want to replace her. Mu Li was extremely dissatisfied with the body she had crossed over, and she was always sick and worried. In modern times, I would like to go to the hospital for a full-body MRI to see what went wrong.

"Send your seniors back, and be sure to send them home safely." When I came, I was connected by Liuyun, and when I went, I naturally had to send Mu Li to Liuyun to rest assured.

"Yes, princess, don't worry, I will send people home safely."

The old man's physical condition is not much better, Mu Li knows this, so let Liuyun send it back in person, Mu Li will feel at ease.

"Pack up your stuff." The green kite helped Mu Li aside to rest, and put away all the tools for sugar painting. These tools are all made by Mu Li himself, although they don't look very good, but they are unique.

"Your Majesty, we can't let them go so easily."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister was willing to lead troops to repel them, but he didn't believe what they could do to us with such a few people. ”

A group of mountain bandits came to Gu Village who were very arrogant, and they robbed the people's rations, not to mention that they attacked the girls in the village, which was really hateful. The officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed them several times, but they had no significant effect, and they still recklessly robbed the people of food and money.

"These brutes dare to do things that hurt nature and reason, and I can't spare them." The emperor threw the fold directly in front of the ministers, and the ministers were frightened one by one.

Some people advocated peace, as long as they stopped attacking the people and gave them some silver taels. But there are also those who advocate that they should be brought to justice, otherwise they will only leave a legacy of trouble.

The emperor was angry. The most fundamental reason for this is no longer the mountain bandits, but the locusts in Gucun today, which greatly reduced the harvest, and some people were forced to go up the mountain to become mountain bandits in order to survive. Weichen believes that the primary task is to solve the problem of rations for the people and open the treasury to release the imperial grain. ”

Lord Zuo used to be a person who came out of Gu Village, and he had some understanding of the situation in Gu Village, and Gu Village had always been self-sufficient and barely able to make ends meet, which was also related to the geographical environment of Gu Village. But now that the locusts have arrived, the already not rich village has made matters worse.

"Hasn't the imperial grain already been allocated, why is there still a shortage of grain?" On that day, it was Chu Lingyi who reported the locusts to the emperor, and the emperor ordered the emperor to release the grain.

"When was it placed? Why don't we know? ”

This matter was said by Chu Lingyi to the emperor alone, so the emperor did not mention it in the court, and directly ordered the people who managed the imperial grain to blindly release the grain to the people of Gu Village. Unexpectedly, this imperial grain did not reach the hands of the people, and it also caused some people to become mountain bandits in desperation.

"I ordered the household department to open a position, what's going on?"

Lord Cao of the household department is a new official who has just taken office, and he doesn't care about embezzling the emperor's grain, but as for the people underground, it is not necessarily. "Your Majesty, the minister has put down the imperial grain according to the emperor's will, and the minister doesn't know why it has become like this."

It's no wonder that Lord Cao, how did he manage the most underground people, it must have been the county magistrate who secretly embezzled, and in the end it was the people who suffered.

"Waste, what use do you want, you can't even do this little thing."

Originally, it was a trivial matter to make trouble with locusts, but because of the inaction and corruption of underground officials, it led to the current scene. It is said that these mountain bandits were also forced to do such a hateful thing.
