Chapter 19: A Small Banquet and Flying Flowers
This weekend, the dormitory of the blue eucalyptus was a little deserted, and Mengshi, who never went home on weekends, rushed back in a hurry on Friday this time. Sunday is Lan Eucalyptus's birthday, I wonder if Mengshi will give Lan Eucalyptus a surprise? Lan Eucalyptus had some small expectations in her heart. Originally, she thought that Mengshi would go back to the dormitory on Saturday night to celebrate her birthday, but until she got up on Sunday morning, Mengshi didn't go back to school, there were only Lan Eucalyptus, Dan Yan and Luo Yao in the dormitory, and the other two were the same as usual, and they didn't mean to celebrate Lan Eucalyptus's birthday. Lan Yu thought disappointedly, if the dormitory mates don't usually have a deep intersection with her, then it doesn't matter if they don't have a birthday in the dormitory, and now they get along so well in the dormitory, maybe they really forgot their birthdays, right?
Luo Yao didn't say a word and looked at Lan Eucalyptus's disappointed expression in her eyes, revealing a sly smile. While Lan Yu went to brush her teeth on the balcony, she secretly pulled Dan Yan and whispered, "How is it?" This stupid woman had no idea what we were planning to do! Meng Shi Yingming, have all the things you sent from home to school? When I received it, I put it in Ruoping's dormitory, and the flower and fruit stuffed stuff I prepared was already hidden there. Dan Yan whispered in Luo Yao's ear, "I let it go yesterday, and the gifts prepared by Ruoping over there seem to be quite exquisite, but Ruoping's stingy ghost has always refused to reveal in advance what she gave it specifically." Luo Yao's eyes rolled, "It seems to be a handicraft, anyway, I will know it at night." Mengshi is really, I have to try so many times to make a cake, I said that it was good to celebrate Lan Eucalyptus's birthday at 0:00 last night, but she was not satisfied with the cake she made yesterday afternoon, and said that she was going to remake it today and bring it over, I want to see how good this one she brought over is! Dan Yan frowned slightly, "You said that Mengshi usually loves to eat so much in the dormitory, could it be that she was bored after cooking and ate the cake by herself, right?" It's good to wait for us! Luo Yao laughed.
Meng Shi returned to the dormitory at 6 o'clock in the evening with a tired face, Luo Yao teased her puzzledly, "How can you be so tired of making a cake, I don't know, I thought you went to rob the cake shop!" Mengshi said helplessly, "How could it not?" I haven't made a cake for a long time, and I dare to bring it with me for the third finished product. Happy birthday to the Blue Girl! Lan Yu looked at the birthday cake made for her by Meng Shi in surprise, and was so moved for a while that she didn't know what to say.
Mengshi's handmade wheel cake is in the style of the forest system, you can see Mengshi's intentions, the shape of the cake imitates the stump, the annual rings are finely painted with cocoa powder, and the clusters of fleshy ones made of vegetable whipped cream on it seem to really grow on the stump, verdant, delicate and lovely. Dan Yan also put out the pomelo and rock sugar oranges grown at home on the table, which my brother specially picked from the tree last week and then couriered to the school to celebrate the birthday of the blue eucalyptus, which was very fresh.
Ruoping also gave a gift she had prepared, a camphor wood jewelry box made by Zhenping himself, with a green plum tree carved on it. The green imitation diamond is carefully polished and inlaid by Zhenping, and the edge of the jewelry box is carved with a simple hollow pattern. The style is a bit similar to the jewelry boxes that Zhenping is responsible for making in the handmade online store, but it seems to be more exquisite. Lan Eucalyptus's face was crimson, but she still stubbornly teased, "Is this the clerk's own money?" The roommates laughed, Ruoping didn't argue, she knew that the more Lan Yu said this, the more it showed that she understood Zhenping's mind in her heart, but she was embarrassed to say it. Mengshi pretended to be curious and asked, "Why didn't Zhenping come and get together for a while?" Ruoping replied with a grin, "He knows that we are going to make trouble late at night, and it is inconvenient for an older boy to stay too late in the girls' dormitory. Eucalyptus, this is a gift from me. β
Ruoping herself gave a pink quill and a box of wax seals, the sky blue fire paint wax grains were packed in a transparent wishing bottle, wrapped in a brown paper box with a delicate texture, and a fire paint seal in the box, the wood grain handle made of wood was smooth and shiny, and the blue eucalyptus picked up the seal from the box and saw that the brass seal head was carved with a cute owl. Lan Eucalyptus's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she said to Ruoping angrily, "It's caused you to spend so much, in fact, you are in charge of embroidery in the online store, and I am satisfied if you also embroider something for me with your own hands, why bother to buy it outside?" Ruoping grinned, "You're out of sight, I think quills and fire paint are retro, you're going to like it." How? If I don't, I'll take it back to the dormitory, huh? Ruoping pretended to hide the gift and was snatched away by Lan Eucalyptus, "Don't! I love it so much, give it back to me! "Time is slow, and every gift is beautiful, because it carries the owner's heart and temperature.
Now there is still suspense left in Luo Yao's gift, Lan Eucalyptus is guessing, Luo Yao took out a very delicate glass bottle and shook it in front of Lan Eucalyptus, Lan Eucalyptus took the bottle and looked at it, it turned out to be Xianjuke's pomegranate osmanthus brew. This bottle is so beautiful that it could be placed in an art museum. The thick glass surrounded by 360 degrees, the pink gauze tied into a bow at the mouth of the bottle, the pure and transparent glass pill bottle, and a touch of slightly drunk coral orange rippled in the bottle, reflecting the bright mood like a pool.
"Wow, such a petty bourgeoisie, I really want to take a sip!" Blue Eucalyptus couldn't wait to open the bottle. Luo Yao rubbed her hands and explained, "Fruit wine is different from liquor, and the taste period after opening is only 7 days, so we pay attention to the timely flavor. I bought this bottle of flower and fruit wine last week. "The dormitory is filled with sweet and silky floral and fruity aromas, this wine is like a messenger of nature and time, fermented with wild flowers and fruits, the process is like Liyun sideburns, appliquΓ© yellow, and there is a taste of time flowing." Let's clink glasses! Blue Eucalyptus took the lead in raising the wine glass, and the five slender jade hands held the wine glasses together, "Cheer! β
With a sip of two fingers, the jade liquid elixir dripped and slid to the tongue, full of light and wonderful mountain wind and wild air. The palate is fragrant with osmanthus flowers, followed by the sweet alcohol catalysis of pomegranate, with a slight burning sensation in the throat. Take a small sip, and the whole mouth is filled with the sweetness of osmanthus flowers, as well as the semi-sweet and slightly sour of pomegranates. The taste of pomegranate and osmanthus coexists in a balanced manner, like a laurel blooming on a pomegranate. Human beings can polish time as art for the sake of appetite. It is no wonder that handmade liquor pays attention to "the time of the sky, the air of the earth, the beauty of the materials, and the ingenuity of the craftsmanship", and the original taste of the wine brewed in accordance with the laws of nature will be more mellow and delicate.
Tonight's wine and moonshine glass, the five girls are nostalgic. Five clear brews, meaning to prosper. Mengshi thoughtfully, "I suddenly remembered a poem by Su Shi. Lan Eucalyptus tilted his head and asked, "Which sentence is it?" Let's hear it. Mengshi put down the wine glass and said, "The drizzle and the slanting wind make a little cold, and the light smoke and willows are beautiful and the beach is clear." Into Huai Qingluo gradually long, snow foam milk flowers floating in the afternoon. The mushroom and artemisia shoots try the spring plate, and the taste of the world is refreshing. Ruoping exclaimed, "Wonderful! Why don't we do a wine order? Dan Yan took over the conversation with interest, "What kind of wine is good?" That's right! You all know about the Flying Flower Order, right? Everyone nodded excitedly, and only Luo Yao echoed in embarrassment, "In Yaling, I only have Feihua Ling who can answer slightly." β
Lan Yu cleared his throat and took the lead, "Then we will go down clockwise according to this seat order, and those who don't answer will be punished for drinking, and no one is allowed to deny it, I'll come first, 'move the capital when the flowers bloom'." β
Meng Shi thought about it for a while, and thought about it, "It's my turn, this is not difficult, 'Peach Blossom Lake is a thousand feet deep'." β
Ruoping snorted, "Ah, it's coming to me so soon, let me think about it......" Ruoping stood up anxiously and wandered around the dormitory, Luo Yao was also thinking about her next sentence, "You think slowly, so that the time for me to prepare can be extended a little." Suddenly, Ruoping's eyes stayed on the early cherry blossoms in full bloom on the trees downstairs of the dormitory, and the moonlight poured on the flowers and trees, like the flickering of fine snowdrops, which reminded her of a poem in "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", "There is, 'the moonlight and the flowers and forests are like hail'." β
Luo Yao let out a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I also just got a sentence, 'The peach blossoms on the human face are red'." β
Dan Yan leisurely put down half a piece of pomelo, the sweetness in his mouth is a familiar taste since childhood, and the lightning in his mind came to the rice fields of his hometown, and the wheat waves were churning during the autumn harvest, and his heart suddenly opened up, "The moonlight buckwheat flowers are like snow." β
Lan Eucalyptus then blurted out, "When you go out, you are all looking at flowers." β
Mengshi obviously began to think after the last round of answers, and confidently continued, "Gedao looks back at Shangyuan Hua." β
Ruoping nodded her lips with her fingertips and thought for a moment, "Flowers and trees are planted by hand." β
Luo Yao was still eating the cake with her head down, but when she saw that it was her turn again, she was a little panicked, "Why did you answer so quickly?" 'Flower' in the second word of the ...... Oh, isn't this sentence like, 'Famous flowers love the country'. β
Dan Yan fell into a deep thought, remembering that his grandfather was a teacher in the village when he was young, and he was highly respected in a radius of 100 miles, and the name of Dan Yan was given by his grandfather. Don't let people praise the good color, only leave the clear air full of goodness. Thinking of this, the corners of Dan Yan's eyes moistened a little, and he replied abruptly, "The flowers are faintly ink-stained." β
Lan Yu smiled slightly, "It's time for me to answer, 'Shanglin Blossom Flowers Shine in the New Eyes'." β
Mengshi calmly continued, "Yun wants clothes, flowers want to look." β
Ruoping didn't think about it this time, and opened her mouth to answer, "Three days of peach blossom rain in Lanxi." Luo Yao was a little panicked, "Why did you answer so quickly?" Hey, where does this poem come from? It seems to be rarely heard. Ruoping bowed her head slightly, "This sentence was taught to me by Xiaoyue, a teacher in our village, from the Tang Dynasty poet Dai Shulun's "Lanxi Song", "The cool moon is like an eyebrow hanging on the willow bay, and the mountains are seen in the mirror." Lanxi three days of peach blossom rain, in the middle of the night carp to the beach. You may not know that there is a small stream next to my bamboo house, and when the water rises, there is a carp coming to the beach in the middle of the night. β
Luo Yao was very fascinated when she heard this, and looked at Ruoping with her hands on her cheeks, Meng Shi stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Luo Yao's eyes, "What are you doing in a daze?" It's your turn. Luo Yao came back to her senses suddenly, her brain empty. Meng Shi shook her head helplessly, "If you can't answer the penalty, it's a pity that such a good flower and fruit brew is drunk by the person who sent it, I just have a sentence here to help you answer, 'The beauty is as delicate as a flower'." "Ruo Ping's heart is straightforward and fast," this sentence is quite suitable for Luo Yao. Indeed, the five girls have their own styles, blue eucalyptus is sweet, dream poetry is intellectual, Dan Yan is simple, Ruoping is innocent, Luo Yao is charming, and Luo Yao is really worthy of this poem in terms of appearance. Luo Yao was a little proud when she heard this, "You people, you say you're helping me, but you're obviously grabbing wine from me!" β
Dan Yan took over the conversation, "I didn't grab the wine, I didn't have to drink it after I answered, 'The flower welcomes the sword and wears the star at the beginning of the fall'." β
Lan Eucalyptus pondered for a while, "Tonghua Wanlidan Mountain Road." β
Mengshi smiled knowingly, "I am the first class among flowers." β
Ruoping replied, "Fly into the cauliflower and nowhere to be found." β
Luo Yao rarely replied once, "Zhu Yan remarks the mirror and the tree of words." β
Dan Yan raised his eyebrows, "Flowers don't bloom and flowers are bushes." β
There was silence in the dormitory for a while, and Ruoping kindly reminded, "Blue Eucalyptus, it's your turn!" Blue Eucalyptus was biting on the juicy rock sugar orange in her mouth, completely unexpectedly that it would be her turn so soon. She had no choice but to look at Mengshi for help, and Mengshi was naturally willing to help, "Sparse branches are flowers." "Dan Yan is unrelenting," Mengshi has helped others twice, and the next sentence is also her. Ruoping repeated what Lan Eucalyptus had said at the beginning like a repeater, "Those who don't answer will be punished for drinking, and no one is allowed to deny it." Tsk, how many rounds are there? Did you forget what Lan Eucalyptus said herself? Ruoping said that she personally picked up Lan Eucalyptus's cup and poured wine for her, and there was a burst of laughter in the dormitory, and Lan Eucalyptus raised her head and drank it in one gulp, "You just deliberately bully the 'birthday star'." β
Ruoping sniffed the wine bottle and praised the wine sincerely, "The flower wine is fragrant and clear." β
Luo Yao saw her pun on her, not only to praise the wine, but also to pick up her own wine order, "Ruoping is really talented!" It's my turn for the next sentence, 'Pear blossoms bring rain in spring'. Lan Eucalyptus asked curiously, "Why do you get more and more sad the more you answer?" Luo Yao smiled, "No, I just happen to know this sentence." β
Dan Yan smiled, "Then I'll be optimistic!" 'Another village'. β
Blue eucalyptus does not show weakness, "The sunrise river flowers are red." β
Mengshi thought a little, "The flowers and trees on both sides of the Xiangjiang River are deep. β
"Thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom." β
Luo Yao quietly put the mobile phone on the table and recited the poem she had just found on the Internet, "Look at the gardenia in the atrium." β
Dan Yan saw this scene in his eyes and remained silent, "The flowers float and the water flows freely." β
Blue eucalyptus pondered slightly, "The fragrance of rice flowers says that it is a good year." β
Mengshi calmly continued, "It's not that the flowers prefer chrysanthemums." β
Ruoping searched for dry intestines, "The lotus flowers are different red." β
Luo Yao peeked at the screen, and was embarrassed to be too blatant, "The bell of Changle is gone." β
Danyan Wensi is like a spring, "Spring is full of peach blossom water." β
Lan Yu didn't know when he got up and left the table, wiped his hands with a tissue, "It's really supporting me...... It's me again? "See all the Chang'an flowers in one day". β
The foodie Mengshi still replied calmly while eating the fruit, "The reason why the flowers meet each other is to ask each other." β
Ruoping's eyes flashed, "Hey, I am very familiar with the two-character poem, 'Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March'." β
Luo Yao calmed down this time, "There is a sentence in the poetry textbook, "The Song of Long Hatred", 'Cloud Temples Flower Yan Jin Bu Sha'." β
Dan Yan replied calmly, "How can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms." β
Lan Yu sat at the desk and took a selfie in the mirror, yawned and removed the residual makeup on his face in advance, and when he saw that it was his turn, he turned his head and replied, "I don't know if the water splashes first." β
Meng Shi shook the wine glass in her hand, her cheeks were slightly red, "Tao Ran is drunk with the chrysanthemum cup." β
Ruoping was a little tired, "I should go back to the dorm after two more rounds, 'Frost Leaves Red in February'." β
Luo Yao found that there was another sentence in "Song of Long Hatred" that had just not been used, "Huadian has no one to accept it." β
Dan Yan stroked his hair with one hand, his eyes were tired, "The flowers are becoming more and more charming." β
Lan Yu suddenly remembered that at this time last year, he was still preparing for the college entrance examination, and said with emotion, "This year's flowers are better than last year's red." β
Regardless of the feast, Mengshi still peeled the pomelo and stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely, "Saibei plum blossom Qiang flute blowing." β
Ruoping replied unsatisfactorily, "When the catkins fly, the flowers are all over the city." β
Luo Yao held her mobile phone and said again, "The peach blossoms are chaotic and the plum flowers are fragrant." β
Dan Yan looked around, "This is the last sentence, right?" It's hard to get together, and tomorrow it's time to continue to attend classes and work part-time, 'Spring City is full of flowers'. β
Luo Yao didn't follow, "How can this sentence be counted?" I have a sentence, help you answer, 'turn into spring mud to protect flowers'. Dan Yan patted his head, "Yes! I didn't even expect that. β
Ruoping shook her head, "Then I'm going back to the dormitory, I've drunk a few glasses without penalty, it's so delicious, you see we're all 'blushing with cheeks' now." "Isn't it? Tonight's little feast, the girls are all happy.
