Chapter Forty-Six: Engrave the Starry Sky
There is dye and sumac sap in the beast garden, after all, the animal garden is royal, and the things used are much better than those of the commoners.
The box has a total of six sides, of which the bottom surface is completely flat, and the other five boards are face up, sprinkle the sawdust on it, press it a few times, and then sweep the sawdust away, so that those eyes are basically filled with sawdust.
Then I mixed it with a black-blue dye made from an unknown fruit and sumac sap and applied it to it, and several boards of wood turned completely dark blue.
After finishing it, he put the plank aside, Ren Baqian looked at the sky, estimated that the time was almost up, and went to the kitchen to eat.
There is a large courtyard outside the back kitchen, and there are more than a dozen tables set up at this time.
The entire beast garden, this time is the most complete time.
Both men and women gather here at this time.
There were also children with bare butts wrestling there, and the adults were watching happily not far away, and they didn't care.
Ren Baqian saw a six- or seven-year-old child being thrown to the ground, with a piece of skin broken on his knee, and he didn't care, he stood up and rushed forward screaming, opening his teeth and dancing his claws like a crab, and a set of Wang Baquan was quite imposing.
Children who grow up in such an environment are really used to it.
"Steward, sit on this side. Someone stood up and called him, and Ren Baqian saw that it was an iron knife.
Although I have been in the beast garden for a few days, I really don't have many times to eat like this with everyone, counting today is the second time, usually I am not busy or anything in the palace, and I always go to the kitchen to open a small stove when it is dark.
Sitting with Tiedao and the others, he and the ten under his hands happened to fight a table.
Wait for the dishes to come up and take a look, roast lamb shank, roast lamb ribs, boiled beef cubes, as well as a pot of wild vegetable soup, and a green vegetable scrambled poultry egg.
When the dishes were served, everyone didn't care about Ren Baqian, and the plate of fried poultry eggs with green vegetables was gone in the blink of an eye, and one person took a bowl of wild vegetable soup and gnawed on the lamb ribs there.
Ren Baqian blinked, speechless. I only saw a group of dirty hands sweeping, and there was nothing.
In Dayao, meat and cheap vegetables are expensive, almost all of them are meat, and there are two green vegetables that come up and disappear in the blink of an eye.
And these people don't have the habit of using chopsticks, it was from Daxia, and it is generally used by rich people and officials, and they directly grasp it.
Ren Baqian sucked the wild vegetable soup, nibbled on a piece of lamb chops, and ate some dry food here.
This dry food is a kind of rough flour multigrain, which is very coarse, a little prickly, and has a slightly sour taste.
But none of them disliked. Rice noodles are also available, but only the rich can afford to eat them. It is said that the village on the mountain eats meat for a meal, and the supplementary food is berries and wild vegetables.
Eating meat on Earth is a decent food, but it's just the most basic diet here.
If you pick up a pound of wild vegetables to exchange for a few pounds of meat, there are a lot of people who will exchange it with you.
Fortunately, Dayao also has a product that is tea, and there are many wild tea trees on the mountain. This allows Dayao people not to have to break their heads for a tea brick like those people in the grassland used to.
After eating a meal, I went back to the bronze armor, saw that the dye on the wood was almost dry, put the panel upside down on the ground, knocked it twice with a hammer, and when I picked it up again, the crumbs basically fell, revealing holes in the true color of the wood.
Only saw the first plank, Ren Baqian was overjoyed. Although he has not yet met his requirements, it is only the first step to meet his expectations.
Then the other pieces were applied in this way and placed together, and Ren Yaqian was stunned for a moment.
The dark blue plank was full of light-colored stars, and the two galaxies and the nebula were dotted on it, really like the starry sky I had seen last night.
Subconsciously looked up at the sky, at this time the sky was just dark, and a few stars had not yet come out, sparsely like pockmarks sprinkled on it, far from the magnificence that I had seen.
Looking down at the board, the only problem is that the paint on the board is not evenly colored, but this is a minor problem, just brush it twice. Thinking of this, Ren Baqian picked up the seasoning next to him and brushed it on top again. This time, I don't have to worry about the seasoning dyeing into the holes, as long as I look at the whole picture and make sure it's okay.
"Steward Ren, is this okay?" said in a whispered voice when Bronze Armor came to Ren Baqian's side.
Ren Baqian took it out in his arms, he wanted to find a piece of broken silver, and this craft really deserves to be rewarded. You can't just let the horses work and not give them grass.
And yet there was nothing on him. Usually when he doesn't go out, he doesn't bother to carry silver in his arms.
"Beautifully done. Ren Baqian gave a thumbs up.
"Put it here first, I'll get it tomorrow. Ren Baqian patted his shoulders of bronze armor, which was half a head taller than himself and half thicker.
"Okay, do you want to put it on?"
"No, that's fine, wait for the color to dry and you put it in the house. Take it out tomorrow morning and brush it again. After Ren Baqian finished speaking to him, he walked back with his hands behind his back.
Licking and sleeping outside the door, Rolling is the buttocks on the stone slab more than ten centimeters high, the head is on the ground, and the head is lying there under the feet.
Ren Baqian approached and heard a slight snoring sound. The bellies of the two little ones fell together, let him touch them, and the two little ones snorted dissatisfiedly and turned over and continued to sleep.
Early the next morning, he carried a few ingots of silver in his bosom, and went out with an iron knife and a vine gourd and a few planks.
He was going to melt the silver and drip it into the holes in the planks arranged according to the position of the stars.
The dark blue background, dotted with silver galaxies, must be extremely beautiful.
When he arrived at the bronze armor, Ren Baqian took out a piece of broken silver of about one tael and handed it to the copper armor.
"Take it, give it to you. ”
"How can I ask for money to work for the manager? The bronze armor waved his hand repeatedly.
"Don't talk nonsense. Ren Baqian directly threw the broken silver over, drew a parabola, and the bronze armor hurriedly grabbed it.
"Thank you, Steward. The bronze armor held the silver and smiled. This piece has been on his for more than half a month.
"Hmm!" Ren Baqian nodded, and took a closer look at the wooden boards, the dye on them had just dried, and they looked much more beautiful after being colored three times. Although there are still some places where the wood is deep and some places are shallow due to the different textures of the wood, it already looks quite beautiful.
shouted the iron knife and rattan gourd behind him, and one person followed behind with two or three planks.
Halfway through, Ren Baqian took out those pieces of silver from his chest and stuffed them around his waist. The silver is really heavy when you carry too much, and it's too uncomfortable to put on your chest.
When I arrived in the White Rock District, it was still the blacksmith shop from last time.
"Shopkeeper, melt the silver, point it into the hole in the board, and make sure it is smooth. Ren Baqian shouted, took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it twice in his hand.
The shopkeeper came over and took a closer look, then glanced at the silver in Ren Baqian's hand, and said concisely: "It's not enough, I have to get a piece." ”
Ren Baqian threw another piece over, and the shopkeeper nodded: "Okay, let's get it in two hours." ”
......
Ren Baqian led the two of them to Jingyang Road to see how the shop was, but as soon as they turned into Jingyang Road, they didn't go far when they heard a woman's angry scolding from a shop on the side of the road.
"This piece of skin has taken a lot of pain, this is a white toothed tiger skin, there is no scar at all, and it can only be exchanged for half a bucket of salt?"
When Ren Baqian heard this, he immediately turned his head to look over, and saw two familiar figures in the shop next to him, one of them was the woman named Nagu, and the other should be her brother.
Unexpectedly, after only a few days, I saw the two of them again.
And they held a roll of leather in their hands, and one of the white skins was pulled away by the two of them to show.
"It's up to you whether you change it or not, our family can give you this price on this street, you go to look elsewhere, you can't even change half a bucket. The shopkeeper said with a determined face.
