Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

40 - Manual
The head chef said in amazement: "I have heard that the southerners have this method, but I have never tried it. Maybe the master and wife will like it very much."

As soon as I came out of the kitchen and arrived at the small courtyard, I caught up with Xiaoqing coming back from outside the house, and she gave me the things excitedly. "Is this a teacup? I asked the sculptor curiously for a long time, and I said it might be a teacup. Miss, am I right?"

"That's right! You're not stupid!" I made this by picking out some good-looking sections of bamboo, and then I asked Xiaoqing to take a few Tang poems and Song Ci poems I wrote while practicing calligraphy to find a sculptor outside. It is engraved according to the size, and now it is time to carry out the final process.I painted all the lettering in red with cinnabar paint, and put them on the table one by one to dry.Xiaoqing looked at these teacups in amazement, and said "beautiful" again and again.When I finished the last teacup, I clapped my hands proudly: "Not bad, although it is not original by me, but something I made with my own hands is still very fulfilling."

"Do you want to keep these teacups for yourself?"

"NO." I shook my head and said casually.Seeing that Xiaoqing was stunned, he quickly corrected with a smile: "No, these six teacups are for entertaining guests." Seeing that it was getting late, I put the dried bamboo teacups on the tray, and put them on the tray with a handkerchief , Instruct Xiaoqing to remember to bring it when the banquet is opened. "Okay, everything is ready now, just waiting for a surprise for everyone when the banquet begins!"

As soon as the words fell, a ghostly voice rang in my ears, "What a surprise, I'll take a look first!" Before I could react, a hand suddenly appeared behind me and reached for the tray. In a blink of an eye, a teacup fell into someone's hands. "Huh? The teacup made of bamboo is quite exquisite. Did you make it yourself?" Ting Lu said with a surprised expression as she played with the teacup in her hand.

This impolite guy came in ghostly, without making a sound!I picked up the ruler and tapped the back of his hand unceremoniously, "Don't move!"

"Ouch!" He yelled in pain, and he let go of his hand. I calmly caught the cup, turned around and put it back, and then looked at him proudly.While blowing on the back of his hand, he stared at me with complaining eyes, "Why are you hitting so hard, the back of your hand is red from your beating, I've never seen such a fierce girl."

After listening to his words, I nodded gracefully to him with a queen-like posture, and said proudly: "Ah, obviously you don't know me very well. After a long time, you will slowly learn more about me. I."

"Look at what's going on, don't be so stingy. You're here to entertain us anyway. Let me take a quick look at it first!" Ting Lu stretched out her hand to make a sneak attack, and I took the tray and handed it to Xiao Qing.I didn't let his sneak attack succeed, and I smiled quite accomplished.He touched his nose resentfully, and sat down bored. "Hey, everyone went to play in the back garden, what are you doing in the house by yourself, just busy doing this."

"Who said, I have a lot of things to do, I'm not as relaxed as you." I looked around and there was nothing to do, and reached out to La Tinglu, "Let's go, let's go to the back garden."
