Hongyezi didn't reply to him, and changed the topic, "Don't chat, don't talk about climbing such a dangerous peak, and leave it to the top of the peak to talk about it." ”

Climbing is really not difficult for people who grew up in the mountains, although Xing Xiaotian has lived in Yanhuashui for two months, and climbs the peak and trees with Zhu Yue every day, but compared with the red leaves, it is still much slower, and when she reaches the top of the mountain and has a meal, Xing Xiaotian wiped the sweat on his forehead and climbed up.

As soon as I went up, I was shocked by the huge tree at the top of the peak, a tree that can only be hugged by five or six people in dense shade, standing alone on this peak, the red leaves are different from the red of the maple leaves, as if it is really dyed by human blood, and the red is warm and lustrous like jade.

And the mountain peaks that are obviously a lot lower around are surrounded by white clouds, and only a mountain is exposed, and when you are here, leaning on this magical tree, you feel like you are in a fairyland.

"This tree is really strange, doesn't it have a name?" Xing Xiaotian sighed and touched the trunk of the tree, feeling like he wanted to kneel down and worship.

"Yes, it's called the Red Leaf Tree."

Red Leaf picked up a fallen red leaf on the ground and handed it to Xing Xiaotian, "You smell it, the leaves of this tree fall off because new leaves grow at the petiole position, and the old leaves will be squeezed off the tree, so you see that the leaves are not withered, and the fragrance is the same." ”

Xing Xiaotian grabbed the leaves and said with a smile, "Why don't you use a special smell, as soon as you come up, you will be surrounded by fragrance, this is indeed very similar to the taste of sheep rhinoceros, there is almost no difference between the like, why don't we pick some leaves and try to see if we can make sheep rhinoceros-scented rouge." ”

"Xiaotian, are you going to leave when you're done with this?" Momiji was a little worried, "I'm afraid that I will be laughed at and embarrassed by people when I go to the world outside the mountain." ”

"No," Xing Xiaotian hugged her into his arms, "It's enough for my wife to like it, when the time comes, let's go back to Yecheng to rent a shop, hang up the signboard of Xing Ji Rouge, and we will run the shop together." ”

"Aren't you looking for your family's ancestors?"

"If you don't look for it, leave it to our children to find it."

Red Leaf snuggled in his arms with a happy face, "This rouge is ready, it is a gift we left to the villagers, what is it called?" ”

"Momiji rouge?" Xing Xiaotian gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, "It's called Red Leaf Rouge." ”

A gust of wind blew, and the fragrance of the red leaf tree lingered on the end of the nose, and the red leaf suddenly said, "Xiaotian, you don't know, in fact, the red leaves on the red leaf tree are more fragrant, but unfortunately they will become ashes after burning, otherwise you can burn it to make rouge after the fragrance is more thoroughly stimulated." ”

"Burn it...... Burn it......" Xing Xiaotian muttered and suddenly laughed, he happily kissed the corner of the red leaf's lips, "Yezi, you are really my lucky star, I have thought of how to remove the poison of the sheep rhinoceros, if we can remove the poison of that thing, we can make this fragrant rouge to sell!" ”

The two of them were pleasantly surprised and couldn't enjoy the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain, so they loaded some red leaves, hurriedly went down the mountain, and picked some sheep rhinoceros grass by the lake and went home.

While boiling water, Xing Xiaotian prepared five or six wooden pots and barrels to explain to the red leaves, "You just said burning, I suddenly thought that when I lived in Fengcheng when I was a child, there was a local weed that was also poisonous, but that poisonous weed is also a delicious wild vegetable, and the local villagers use boiling water to cook this grass repeatedly, and it will not be poisonous if it is boiled seven or eight times." ”

Hongye wore gloves to help him clean the sheep rhinoceros grass, and then poured the grass into the pot of boiling water, and listened to Xing Xiaotian, "Yezi, don't stand by the pot, cover your mouth and nose with a towel, I'm afraid that the sheep rhinoceros is too toxic, and after cooking, we will soak a stick of incense in cold water for a while, and then take it out and cook it again, so it can be estimated seven or eight times." ”

The two of them covered their mouths and noses, and were busy boiling water, boiling grass, soaking in cold water, and boiling water from time to time......

was busy until the sun set, looking at the sheep rhinoceros grass drained in the wooden basin, Xing Xiaotian nervously caught a chicken raised with red leaves from the cage, "Yezi, do you really want to try?" If it's poisoned, you'll be a chicken for nothing. ”

"Let's try it, it's just a chicken, if this method is successful, the sheep rhinoceros grass in the village will be exchanged for money in the future, and it is also a good income for the villagers to exchange this thing for money every year."

Xing Xiaotian nodded, fed the chicken with a small pot of chopped sheep rhinoceros grass mixed with chaff, and put it back in the cage after eating, the two looked at the chicken extremely nervously, and after a meal, they saw that the chicken was still alive, and it was done.

The two hugged each other happily and laughed, but at night they cried again, and the sheep rhinoceros grass that had been boiled in this way had no aroma at all, although it was non-toxic, but it was useless.

The two of them thought about it for half the night, and finally experimented intermittently for three days and finally found a way, the sheep rhinoceros grass was washed and dried directly on the tiles, and then put it in a clay pot.

This is simply a big gain, the two hurriedly transcribed the recipe in the rouge recipe booklet, usually Zhu Yue accompanied Xing Xiaotian to write the recipe together, but now the people around them have changed to red leaves.

Later, they went up to the top of the peak a few times and saw that the branches after picking the red leaves last time began to wilt, and then they knew that this kind of tree could cause damage to it even by picking a leaf, and anyway, they also found a way to replace the red leaves, and the two of them made an oath under the tree that they would not fight the idea of this tree in this life no matter what, and let it live well and continue to be one of the three treasures of inkstone water.

"Speaking of the Three Treasures, what exactly is the last treasure?" Xing Xiaotian began to ask about this matter again.

Red Leaf smiled at him, "I won't tell you in this life, just guess slowly," Red Leaf Zi blushed when he said this, covered his lips and smiled, and grabbed Xing Xiaotian's arm, "Let's go, I'll take you to see a kind of ink-colored stone, the snail Dai used by the rich ladies and ladies in Jinling City you said last time, I think this ink-colored stone may also be made." ”

The two walked up the mountain hand in hand, and not long after leaving home, Yang Zhuyue happily pushed open the door of Xing Xiaotian's courtyard, but it was empty again.

"Why is there no one again?" She muttered dissatisfiedly, looked around, the stove was warm, indicating that she had eaten and went out, and it would probably be back until the evening, she was angry and disappointed and simply sat down by the stone mortar that the eldest brother likes to pound flowers in the yard every time, planning to come and wait for the rabbit - squatting.

She looked through the autumn water here, but the couple of lovers were busy thinking about the gifts left by the villagers of Yanhuashui.

Under the high mountain peak, Xing Xiaotian and Hongyezi looked at the rough toner in their hands, and were worried, such a rough obviously can't be used for thrushes, and this texture of the stone can't be ground fine anyway, it's such a hard stone.

"Xiaotian," Momijiko said, "You said that the ink of the thrush can't be water?" ”

“？” Xing Xiaotian looked puzzled, "What does Ye mean?" ”
