Chapter 8 Plantain Cores and Red Maple Leaves
There is a plant on the border of Zhuge country - plantain, which is a grassroots plant as the name suggests. It's just that there are palm-sized leaves and delicate plantain cores.
Plantains like the wet rainy season, whenever the rainy season comes, it keeps blooming red flowers, as if the rotten branches grow mold, the color is gorgeous and beautiful, you can see a plantain core when you open the red petals, it tastes sweet and greasy, just like the process of maple leaves turning from red to green, with green and yellow times. The sweet and greasy flavor is also drawn, sticking to the past and the present.
Red maple leaves are one of the most common landscape plants in Zhuge country, and they become red in autumn. Plantain cores are often eaten by children, and maple leaves are only seen by others when they turn red.
The child who stole the banana core is a fan maker, this child is not in good health and always coughs, as soon as he coughs, he eats bitter Chinese medicine, eats too much bitter Chinese medicine, his tongue has no taste, and even the plantain core wants to taste salty.
The red maple leaves are painted on the fans by the painters who paint every year, and many Zhuge people like to buy fans with red maple leaves, and they don't like to buy fans with green maple leaves. However, the red pigment is difficult to find, it is a relatively rare pigment, and only a little powder can be collected in the copper mines in the high mountains.
Once, the child who stole the plantain core went to look for the red powder and climbed to the highest mountain, but saw a leafy plantain with bright red flowers, and his mouth began to grow hungry again.
I didn't care about any red paint, so I reached out to pick the plantain core. There is a red and bright flower in the middle of this plant, and the child is about to pick the plantain flower.
Suddenly, a red peak snake sprang out of the banana tree and bit the child's hand. The Redpeak Snake is a highly venomous snake that likes to climb on red maple trees and the smell of red powder from copper mines.
I was really bitten by a snake once, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
Only after being bitten by the Hongfeng snake, the child who stole the plantain core no longer dared to steal the plantain core. The family still boiled bitter Chinese medicine for him every day, and fed him little by little until he was cured.
Ten years later, when he finally became the owner of a fan shop, he never mentioned a red maple leaf, but when someone asked him, he pointed to the banana tree at the door of the store and said: You don't eat the food that comes from you!
The people next to him thought it was strange and asked what they were talking about.
What did the guy in the fan shop say, and mentioned something about snake bites for no reason, and the boss was unhappy. The owner doesn't like red, he likes green plantains.
A few days later, a man with a snake tattoo came to the store to buy a fan, saying that he asked to make a fan that would make people scary to look at.
The boss discussed it with the guy and said that this job was not easy to take. But when he saw this person's menacing appearance, he was frightened, and hurriedly said okay, come and get the fan in a few days.
On the day of the fan, it rained in the sky, and the plantain bloomed one after another, and the snake tattooed one opened the fan and was very satisfied and left.
This fan is a fan drawn after the boss was bitten by a snake, and it was painted when I was a child, and I didn't expect people with snake tattoos to like it.
The painting used red powder to draw a giant snake with fangs - the red peak snake, and everyone who saw it said that the child was very talented, and since he painted this painting, he has never opened the fan to see it again.
It didn't take long for the snake tattoo to come and return it. said that he would pull out the plantain at the door without returning the money, but it was not negotiated, and the snake tattoo man really pulled out the plantain.
The man was always dreaming again, dreaming that the big red peak snake came to find him, and not long after, the fan shop was closed, and the boss's old cough recurred.
The doctor came to see that he had offended others, and others had invited the family god away to get insomnia and dreams.
I was really bitten by a snake once, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years. What kind of people have what kind of flowers, what kind of trees bear what kind of fruits.
