Chapter 296: Feeling
A story from the past made Wanwan suddenly admire Yinyu a little.
Although he always does things so unexpectedly. But in reality, it often seems that it is for the sake of others. Although from the beginning, he may have had his own selfish motives.
But in fact, in the end, it is for the benefit of others and self-interest.
"It's amazing." Wanwan said heartily. As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Yinyu was looking at him with a strange and incredulous expression.
Yinyu naturally thought that he had heard it wrong.
He didn't seem to have heard Wanwan praise himself so seriously. In the past, when he behaved, Wanwan didn't seem to react at all.
Sometimes, he could even see that Wanwan was actually trying to roll her eyes at him.
"You..."Yinyu was even a little overwhelmed for a while, and looked at Wanwan and said, "You... Don't do that! ”
Blame it for not adapting. It made Yinyu suddenly have a feeling that he seemed to have done something wrong and was watched.
Wanwan looked at Yinyu's eyes, and immediately regretted her heartfelt admiration. Forget it, it's all said, and it's not easy to take it back.
The moment the graceful eyes changed from heartfelt appreciation to disgust, Yinyu suddenly felt that he could adapt again.
Only in this way does he seem to be more down-to-earth.
"What kind of pattern do you want to draw on the lantern?" Yinyu brought the lantern paper from the side.
These thin sheets of paper are to be wrapped around the outermost edge of the lantern for decoration later. Of course, it's all red paper, but you can also draw your favorite pattern on it.
"I don't know." Wanwan also squatted down and touched the papers, but they were very soft, and they seemed to be a little different from the papers she painted on weekdays.
"Why don't you just draw a rabbit?" Wanwan said: "The rabbit is very cute. Draw a rabbit and hang the lantern under the eaves to look up and feel better. ”
Yinyu listened to it and felt that it made sense.
The rabbit is also an amazing little animal. Not to mention that it looks so good-looking and cute, rabbit fur can also be used as a brush. The most important thing is that rabbit meat is actually quite delicious.
It was perfect.
Wanwan looked at Yinyu, who was deep in thought, and thought that there was something wrong with drawing rabbits, so she asked, "What's wrong?" Is the rabbit too complicated? ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of picture you draw or not."
"No, no, no." Yinyu's thoughts were suddenly retracted, and he waved his hand and said, "Then I'll bother you, help draw the rabbit, I'll make the frame of the lantern first." ”
Making lanterns is actually not complicated, the main thing is to use those bamboo sticks to weave the frame of the lantern first, then get the lantern paper, and then put the candlestick inside.
This is just the practice of the most ordinary lanterns. Most of the lanterns purchased by the Fourteenth Elder Brother Mansion on the New Year's Festival are also these ordinary lanterns. If you want to talk about those gorgeous palace lamps in the palace, the natural approach is much more complicated.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and Yin Yu came to make lanterns, and he can only make the simplest kind.
Half an hour later, Wanwan drew rabbits on a piece of paper, and while feeling that her hands were sour, she turned her head to look at Yinyu, who was still busy on the side.
Yinyu is still weaving those bamboo baskets, and Qinglan is also helping him. In just half an hour, the harvest seems to be good.
"Is there anything else you would like me to help with?" Wanwan put down the brush and walked over.
"No, no, no." Qinglan immediately replied: "This bamboo stick pierces the hand." Fu Jin didn't come if he didn't get it, and he pricked his fingers carefully. ”
"Leave the rest to the minions and Lord Belle! Later, when the lantern is hung, the slave will call someone over. Fujin is fine now, why don't you go back and rest. ”
Wanwan thought about it too. She did everything she could, so she simply didn't stay here and make trouble.
"Then I'll go back first." Wanwan left these words, and walked leisurely to her own yard.
All the way back, the snow on the trail has been cleared. These roads, which are often walked by people, will be cleaned by little maids every day.
The snow is not terrible, but it is not good to form a slippery ice surface after stepping on the snow a few more times. When the time comes, if you are not careful, you will fall directly on a horse.
In this winter snowy day, the whole year is not good.
Wanwan looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard, smelling the rich fragrance, and the whole person's spirit was lifted a lot.
Nian Xia happened to come from Wanwan's courtyard, holding Dayu and Tang Pozi in her hands. When he saw Wanwan, he immediately greeted him and said, "Ah, the slave is just going to find Fujin." ”
"It's overcast again, Fu Jin hurriedly put the big coat on it and go back to the house to roast the fire. How good it would be to leave the rough work of making lanterns to Lord Belle and Qinglan. ”
Their blessings are golden branches and jade leaves, why bother to mix it!
Wanwan couldn't help but smile, nodded and went back to the house to have a snack.
By the fire, Nian Xia also put a potato and a roasted sweet potato. As soon as I entered the house, in addition to the faint smell of smoke in the past, what was even stronger was the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and baked potatoes.
“…”
Nian Xia noticed that Wanwan had found her potatoes and sweet potatoes, so she explained, "It's a waste to burn in this stove, how good it is to make the best use of it." Fujin, you say, don't you? ”
Wanwan really didn't know how to refute it. She just felt that Nian Xia had been following her for a long time, and she seemed to have become more and more sincere. That's a good thing, too.
"Yes." Wanwan said: "It's just that I can't roast, do you know when it's baked?" ”
When she was a child, Wanwan followed Eniang to tinker with baked potatoes in the yard. It was a cold winter, and even if there was no snow, the whole body was cold.
No matter how much you wear, you always feel as if the cold wind can penetrate your clothes.
The potatoes were placed directly on the side of the firewood and stones. Soon, as the fire grew stronger and stronger, the potatoes also gave off a fragrant and burnt smell.
The skin of the potatoes quickly turns black. Wanwan looked at it, and always felt that it should be about the same. In fact, when the potatoes are charred on the surface, the skin is the outside, and the inside is not cooked.
It is said that the unripe potatoes will be poisoned after eating, and Wanwan Eniang naturally does not let Wanwan eat them. Since then, Wanwan has given up baking potatoes by herself, and instead eats Chen Shu's baked potatoes every time.
Speaking of which, Chen Shu is also very powerful, and he can do anything!
"It should be almost."
Thoughts suddenly returned to the eyes, Nian Xia had already taken the baked potatoes and came to Wanwan's face.
