Chapter 111: Folk Artist, Bingga
The two brought their things into the space to tidy up, and Zhou Sinian helped pour all the things in the sack on the ground.
In this year, the food at home is generally reluctant to be exchanged, but the mountain goods they have grown from snacks to large, and they are white on the mountain, so they are not very distressed, and most of them are exchanged for mountain goods.
Hazelnuts, pine nuts, and pecans are the most, and there is only a small bag of red dates, which is a good thing, and it is generally kept for the daughter-in-law who has imported people to the family.
Peanuts have also been replaced by young and old, soybeans are small half a bag, this is oil, willing to change less.
The rest of the big head is all kinds of mushrooms, bunches of them, with grass stems sorted into categories and dressed to dry, sorted out very clean and no insects, it must have been screened by Aunt Huang.
The fungus is also a large half sack, large and small, and it is not a small amount to bubble out.
Unexpectedly, there was also a small bag of sun-dried schisandra, which Ming Dai put on the medicinal herb shelves in the space warehouse.
She plans to sort these things out, make them into gift baskets, and exchange them for money during the New Year.
As for the hazelnuts, she left this one, they haven't found it on the mountain, and Ming Dai plans to develop a hazelnut candy business.
Ming Dai was thinking about it, Zhou Sinian was studying the basket that Huang's sister-in-law brought together.
The main thing is that each family carries it when they change mushrooms, and a few of them look very delicate, and Zhou Sinian seems to like it very much.
When Ming Dai finished thinking about it, she saw that Zhou Sinian had already dismantled all the baskets, and she was busy weaving them back, but unfortunately it didn't succeed.
Ming Dai squatted down and looked at it, the basket should be specially made for children to play, the pattern is a little complicated, Zhou Sinian forgot the steps when he opened it.
Looking at his stubborn appearance, Ming Dai knew that if he couldn't make it up, he would probably be awkward for a day, thinking that she also needed a basket to make a gift basket, so she shouted Zhou Sinian to take the basket that was broken by him and go to Liu Dazheng's house together.
Ming Dai brought some of their pickled spicy cabbage and pasted bud rice flour cakes, put them in a basket and carried them out the door.
Zhou Sinian followed with a basket on his back, with a loose basket in his hand.
When I passed by the door of Zhiqing Point, I saw two people who also went out, Qi Zhijun and Liu Yan.
During this busy time, Ming Dai almost forgot that there were these bad people in the front yard.
Unlike Liu Yan's spring face, Qi Zhijun's whole person seemed to have been slung out of his backbone, and he was very sluggish.
When Liu Yan saw Ming Dai, she stroked the red headscarf on her head: "Ming Zhiqing, do you think my headscarf looks good?" Brother Jun bought it for me. ”
Brother Jun?
Mingdai raised her eyebrows, this is together.
Qi Zhijun heard Liu Yan's show-off, but he didn't refute it, and looked at the snowdrifts piled up in the corner of the wall in a daze.
Ming Dai hadn't said anything yet, Zhou Sinian frowned and looked at her, and said, "It's so ugly!" ”
Liu Yan's triumphant expression immediately stiffened, her eyes turned red, and she looked at Qi Zhijun aggrievedly.
Qi Zhijun didn't dare to look at Zhou Sinian, avoiding Liu Yan's aggrieved gaze, and still looked like a soul traveling.
Ming Dai hurriedly grabbed Zhou Sinian, who was about to speak: "What nonsense is telling the truth, I'm sorry Liu Zhiqing, we have to leave in advance." ”
After speaking, he pulled Zhou Sinian's sleeve and ripped the person away.
Zhou Sinian followed her strength and left, but the person glared at Liu Yan fiercely, and turned to Ming Dai to be aggrieved.
"Mingdai, she is too ugly in a red headscarf, not as good-looking as me!"
Ming Dai replied perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, yes!" You look your best! ”
Zhou Sinian straightened his headscarf with satisfaction, arranged the bow, and strode forward with the basket
When he arrived at Liu Dazheng's house, through the low fence wall, he saw him weaving things at the door of the hall, and Ming Dai shouted: "Uncle Taizheng, is it convenient to come in?" ”
Liu Dazheng raised his head when he heard this, and saw that it was the two of them, and he was a little happy: "Come in, come in!" The door is unlocked. ”
Ming Dai took Zhou Sinian in.
"Xiao Ming Zhiqing, Zhou Zhiqing, is there something missing?"
Zhou Sinian still remembered Liu Dazheng, and had a good impression of him, and when he heard Liu Dazheng greet him, although he didn't speak, he nodded politely.
Ming Dai looked at the basket he was weaving in his hand, which was just the right size for her to make a gift basket.
"Uncle Taisho, how many such baskets do you have?"
Liu Dazheng's hand didn't stop: "There must be twenty or thirty of these, you want a basket, just take it and play with it, this doesn't make money." ”
Ming Dai smiled and said, "Uncle Taizheng, I want these baskets for you, can you help me make 20 more?"
Liu Dazheng didn't expect her to ask for so much: "When do you want it?" ”
Ming Dai thought for a while: "A week before the festival, these baskets were asked by others to find me, and their factory wants to send a Boxing gift, and this basket is just right, decent and practical." ”
Liu Dazheng nodded in agreement: "The basket I knit is cherished and used, and it can be passed on to three generations!" ”
Ming Dai nodded with a smile: "Indeed, last time I also gave a gift to others, and they took a fancy to the basket of the gift, so I asked." Uncle Taisho, take a look, I'll reply to people if it's no problem. ”
Liu Dazheng thought about the bamboo he had saved: "No problem, I will definitely be able to make it for you a week before the festival!" ”
Ming Dai nodded and lifted the basket in Zhou Sinian's hand: "Uncle Dazheng, I brought some bud rice flour cakes and my own pickled spicy cabbage, you can taste it." It's a dollar, and it's a deposit for you,"
Liu Dazheng gratefully took the cake and the small crockpot with pickles, and did not take the money: "Xiao Ming Zhiqing, don't want money, you look at it and give me some food, I have nowhere to spend it if I want money." ”
Ming Dai thought about it, and he had to be taken away by his nephew if he had some money in his hand.
"Okay, you stretch out your hand, I'll show you again, and if you need it, prescribe some medicine to nourish your body."
Liu Dazheng nodded hurriedly, put the things on the bench beside him, swept the bamboo chips on his body, and stretched out his hand.
Mingdai put her hand on it, and after a while changed hands.
"Do you still cough at night?"
Liu Dazheng nodded: "I coughed a few times at night, but it was much better." ”
Ming Dai nodded: "You don't need to take the medicine, just stew some peppercorns and pears to eat, are there peppercorns and pears?" ”
Liu Dazheng was very happy when he heard that he didn't need to spend money to take medicine: "There are frozen pears in pears, the captain sent me some two days ago, and the kid in Guoqiang said that he would send it after eating, and the peppercorns are also available at home, and the wild peppercorns on the mountain." ”
Ming Dai nodded: "Yes, cut the frozen pears into small pieces and cook them with four or five peppercorns for ten minutes, turn off the heat and let it cool before drinking." This can be drunk for a winter, and you are not suitable for eating cold, so it is good to replace frozen pears with drinking this. ”
Liu Dazheng wrote it down carefully: "Okay little Mingzhiqing, I know, thank you very much." ”
Ming Dai waved her hand: "A village, polite, I won't take the basket first, and pull the cart over to get it together one day." ”
Liu Dazheng nodded.
The two have been chatting, Zhou Sinian was bored, looked at the basket that Liu Dazheng was weaving, it seemed very simple, he tried it.
Dismantled and assembled, and when Ming Dai and Liu Dazheng saw it, he dismantled a basket that had already been formed.
Ming Dai was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Taizheng, I'm sorry, let's buy this." ”
Liu Dazheng waved his hand and didn't take it seriously, but looked at Zhou Sinian's hand, although the basket was dismantled, but Zhou Sinian's weaving was okay, but it didn't lock it, so it fell apart.
Liu Dazheng, who was itchy, immediately pointed out Zhou Sinian's weaving skills, Zhou Sinian listened carefully, followed Liu Dazheng's guidance, and quickly made up the parts that fell apart.
Then the old and the young began to learn the weaving class, and Ming Dai listened to it in a fog, and soon became sleepy.
Zhou Sinian became more and more excited, and made up all the baskets he brought.
Yoo Dae-jeong recognized the baskets, which he had made.
Zhou Sinian was very happy and took out the sweater in his back basket to show Liu Dazheng.
Liu Dazheng rarely goes out of the village, and he has basically never seen a sweater, and he was amazed by the red and purple color as soon as he came up.
He carefully touched the soft woolen ball, and couldn't help but sigh: "This color is so beautiful!" ”
Zhou Sinian immediately happily agreed: "Yes! Right! ”
This is the only one who approves of his aesthetics, confidant!
Then the two forgot about Ming Dai, one taught to weave baskets, and the other taught knitting sweaters.
Liu Dazheng had more calluses on his hands, and he was afraid that the wool would be broken, so he found a strip of cloth and cut it into thick threads, cut bamboo to make sweater needles, and followed Zhou Sinian to learn flat needles.
Zhou Sinian's teaching level was higher than that of Ming Dai, and with Liu Da's skillful hands, a flat color-blocked cloth was soon woven.
Ming Dai looked at this, and then at that, there was always a feeling of confusion.
At noon, Zhou Sinian was still reluctant to go, and he and Liu Dazheng were studying how to put the knitting technique of sweaters into the weaving process of bamboo products.
Liu Dazheng also looked at Ming Dai with blank eyes, but he didn't speak, but he obviously didn't want Zhou Sinian to leave.
Mingdai was speechless.
In the end, Zhou Sinian could only stay to continue her studies and discussions, and she went home to cook for the two folk artists.
By the time she came over with food, Liu Dazheng had already called one brother Si Nian, and the two of them also had a strangely shaped basket in their hands.
Mingdai: I call you uncle, you call him brother, do you think it's appropriate?
Ming Dai heated the multigrain noodles and wotou, fried grandma dishes, put broken eggs, and Liu Dazheng, who ate simple meals, was about to cry, and no one had eaten with him for a long time.
Zhou Sinian looked at him, probably remembered himself, and patted Liu Dazheng on the shoulder, but his strength was a little big, If it weren't for Mingdai's support, Liu Dazheng would have been able to plunge into the dinner table.
"Good brother, I will come often in the future!"
Liu Dazheng bared his teeth in pain and nodded happily.
Ming Dai looked at Liu Dazheng, and then thought about Aunt Huang's iron eggs and dog eggs.
I have to say that Zhou Sinian has improved, and he now has a good impression of both the old and the young, but the middle one is still annoying to watch.
After eating, the two talked for a long time, and heard Mingda yawn one after another.
By the time Zhou Sinian got up to leave with satisfaction, Ming Dai was about to fall asleep.
In Liu Dazheng's reluctant eyes, the two went home.
On the way, Zhou Sinian carried his newly knitted basket and admired it while walking.
When I walked to the head of the village, I saw many children playing in the snow, including iron eggs and dog eggs.
When the other children saw the two of them, they stood far away and did not dare to come.
Tie Dan and Dog Dan have been conquered by Zhou Sinian's fancy stone-grabbing technique, and they ran over when they saw their fart.
"Aunt Xiao Ming!"
The two shouted loudly, then glanced at Zhou Sinian, scratched their heads embarrassedly, and didn't know what to call him.
Ming Dai talked to Tie Dan, while Zhou Sinian looked at what Goudan was holding in his hand, a little curious.
"What is this for?"
Goudan raised the whip and wood in his hand: "We are playing Bingga, are you playing?" ”
Ming Dai and Tie Dan also heard it and turned their heads to look.
Zhou Sinian put the basket in his hand into the back basket, reached out and took the wooden spinning top, and looked at it carefully: "How to play this?" ”
The dog was a little embarrassed, looked at his brother, he was still too young to smoke, he could only wait for his brother to pump the spinning top, he went up to smoke twice and had a good time, often because of his mischief, the spinning top did not turn, and my brother had to come up to rescue.
Tie Dan plucked up the courage and pointed to the thing in Zhou Sinian's hand: "This is Bingga, whip him with a whip, and he can turn up." ”
Zhou Sinian put the wooden spinning top on the ground and whipped it a few times, and the spinning top was moved, but it did not spin.
He frowned and shoved the whip to the iron egg: "Here you come!" ”
Tie Dan took it, swallowed his saliva, wrapped the whip around the wooden spinning top, threw it down, twitched the whip, the spinning top spun on the snow, Tie Dan threw a few more whips, and the spinning top spun a little faster.
Zhou Sinian's eyes lit up when he saw it, and Tie Dan handed over the whip with interest.
He took the whip and slammed it, and with a whoosh, the top flew out more than ten meters away.
Both the iron egg and the dog egg were stunned.
Ming Dai was amused by Zhou Sinian's incredulous look.
Zhou Sinian, who felt that he had lost face, was unhappy with his whip and looked at Ming Dai.
The iron egg and the dog egg instantly activated the skill of the little dog's legs, and ran over to pick up the wooden spinning top.
Ming Dai stopped laughing in Zhou Sinian's accusatory eyes, and coughed lightly: "You have too much strength, try it gently, and let Tie Dan teach you." ”
The iron egg who came back from picking up the wooden spinning top happened to hear this, and looked at Zhou Sinian worriedly.
Zhou Sinian hesitated for a moment, and handed the whip over again: "Teach me!" ”
Tie Dan took it with a dreamy face, wrapped the whip around the wooden spinning top again, and told Zhou Sinian how to use force while putting it down, his voice became louder and louder, and his face became redder and redder.
Oh my god, I also have a day to be a little teacher for a madman!
Tie Dan is very excited, and he feels like a snow, the shame of being scared to pee by a madman before!
Under his guidance, Zhou Sinian slowly mastered the skills and took the whip to smoke it himself.
Soon, the wooden spinning top spun rapidly under his whip, spinning faster and faster, and occasionally jumping up.
Slowly, the other children also came over and watched Zhou Sinian pull the top in a fancy way.
Ming Dai also watched, and had to sigh that Zhou Sinian's hands-on ability was really strong!
Later, Zhou Sinian disliked the fact that one spinning top was not enjoyable, and requisitioned all the spinning tops of the children on the scene, and one person smoked 8 at the same time!
One by one, the wooden spinning tops rotated in place, colliding with each other, and they were about to fall to the ground, and they were rescued by Zhou Sinian's whip.
The onlookers let out bursts of exclamations, and their adoring eyes were about to drown Zhou Sinian!
Zhou Sinian had a lot of fun, until the families began to call the children home for dinner, and he was still unsatisfied.
Reluctantly returned the things to others, and followed Ming Dai home.
Ming Dai comforted him: "Let's do it ourselves when we get home, you want to do a few and do a few!" ”
Zhou Sinian's happiness came back in an instant, and his eyes as bright as a big wolf dog looked at Ming Dai: "Ming Dai, you are so good!" ”
Ming Dai turned her head a little unnaturally and quickened her pace: "Of course I'm fine!" Come home! It's cold! ”
When I got home, I pulled suitable wood from the pyre and brought it into the space.
Mingdai told him the essentials of making it and asked him to cut the wood himself.
She went to Zhou Sinian's small warehouse and found the steel balls on the bicycle he dismantled.
I went to the warehouse again and got colored chalk.
Outside, Zhou Sinian has already cut one.
Mindai smashed the steel ball into the bottom of the wooden top with a hammer and painted a colored ring on it.
Zhou Sinian made a whip out of a discarded bicycle tire, and took the newly made spinning top and smoked it in the living room.
The spinning top rotates with his strength, not only is it fast and steady, but the colorful spinning top spins more beautifully.
"Mingdai, look! I pulled out a rainbow!! ”
Ming Dai also wanted to play when she saw it, so Zhou Sinian handed her the whip and went to process the spinning top.
In the end, the two made 10 spinning tops, large and small, in various colors.
At this point, the pastime of the two in the space, in addition to watching the lambs fight, there is one more activity, the competition to draw the top!
Zhou Sinian said that today is really a happy day!
