The Xiao brothers, after a long time, finally realized what they were doing, and calmly let go of their hands holding the money bag, their hearts already starting to feel sour.
Woohoo!
I originally thought that since they were older/younger brothers, they would definitely be richer than the little girl.
As a result, the clown turned out to be themselves!
But they forgot that their sister now has wages and various rewards.
It’s over, it’s even more sour!
But luckily she is my sister.
Although the two brothers retracted their hands, Xiao Zhou did not forget to say one more thing: "If you don't have enough money, you must tell your family."
These words made people feel warm in their hearts, and Xiao Nianzhi smiled obediently: "Well, I listen to my second brother."
Xiao Qing who takes a step slower:?
Ah, it’s sour again!
The carriage went to the Imperial College first, taking Xiao Nianzhi and Xiao Zhou to the academy, and then sent Xiao Qing off.
Xiao Nianzhi came earlier, and Aunt Yu hasn't come yet.
There is nothing to do for the time being, so Xiao Nianzhi went to research the interviewer first.
Xiao Nianzhi has bought all the materials that are convenient for extracting pigments, and now he can study various colors when he goes back.
By the time Aunt Yu arrived, Xiao Nianzhi had already pinched several beautiful animals, in various colors and shapes, which looked cute and cute.
Aunt Yu was shocked after reading it: "Think about it, this is..."
Xiao Nianzhi showed it generously: "Auntie, this is a face person. I have received gifts from His Highness and the Princess before, but I haven't thought about what gifts to give back. After thinking about it carefully, I can't afford the expensive ones, so I'll give them some."
It’s fresh and interesting, but fortunately I haven’t lost my craftsmanship.”
Those little animals are really cute.
When Aunt Yu saw it, she was reluctant to let go.
This was originally just for practicing and testing colors.
Therefore, if Aunt Yu liked it, Xiao Nianzhi gave it to her generously: "If Aunt Yu likes it, I can keep it for fun, but the material is limited, so I guess it won't last long."
Without preservatives, it will easily crack and break later.
So, I just want to have some fresh energy.
Even so, it doesn't affect my aunt's love.
She really liked these gadgets. Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi still had materials there, she wanted to try them out.
After actually getting started, I discovered that if you want to make the face look lifelike, you must work hard.
Especially the fine details require absolute touch, aesthetics, and technology.
Aunt Yu kneaded for a long time and came out with a bunch of unknown things.
However, she was not disappointed. She gathered up everything Xiao Nianzhi gave her and put them on the table to look at after preparation.
As for Xiao Nianzhi's idea of giving Yan Xingxuan a table of delicacies and Yan Changxia a small garden, Aunt Yu thought about it and quietly suggested: "How about changing the ones for His Highness the King of Wei?"
In fact, sending delicious food is closest to Yan Xingxuan’s personal preference.
But this thing has to be put on display after all. Wouldn’t it be better if it were something else that was more appreciative?
Moreover, there is Yan Changxia's small garden for comparison. Aunt Yu feels that Yan Xingxuan may not be satisfied with a table of delicious food.
However, now that he is in love with Xiao Nianzhi, even if he gives him a small flower or something, he will probably be happy, right?
Aunt Yu is just a suggestion. In the end, it depends on Xiao Nianzhi’s intention.
After Xiao Nianzhi thought carefully, he roughly understood what Aunt Yu meant.
Before, she only thought about gifts that fit the other person's feelings, but she forgot that if this thing was put out, if others saw it...
A table of delicious food?
Something seems wrong.
After thinking about it, Xiao Nianzhi nodded: "Then let the goddess scatter flowers?"
It's full of artistic sense, and it requires less paint than gourmet food, so the difficulty is suddenly reduced a lot.
Aunt Yu's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that the goddess was scattering flowers, but when she thought that this was not for her, she quickly calmed down: "I think it's okay, and I'm already looking forward to the finished product."
In response, Xiao Nianzhi smiled sheepishly: "I haven't tried anything big for a long time, and I don't know if it will work."
Aunt Yu felt that the little girl was modest and encouraged her.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, winter vegetables need to be planted.
So, when Uncle Fu and the others came over, Xiao Nianzhi put the freshly prepared dough ingredients in the corner, covered them, and went out directly.
Because the progress at the Ministry of Industry is still in progress, Xiao Nianzhi does not have an automatic seeder yet.
That means...
This dish requires them to dig holes and bury the seeds one by one.
The workload skyrocketed, and after one morning, Xiao Nianzhi was almost exhausted.
However, the planting of winter vegetables is originally done in a hurry.
Therefore, even if they are tired, they cannot stop.
Continue in the afternoon...
At the end of the day, Xiao Nianzhi finally felt the fatigue of work that he had not seen for a long time.
During the midnight snack, Xiao Nianzhi even fooled around a little and made chicken chop fried rice.
When she came back from her work, she didn't even want to see how the interviewer was doing, but no, the materials were all ready, and all the corresponding paints were available.
If we don’t do it anymore, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Xiao Nianzhi quickly encouraged himself and got up again.
After taking a simple shower, I went to the small kitchen to light a lamp and got busy.
She would love to be busy in the delicious kitchen, but this thing has to be finished in the end.
How was she going to explain to Aunt Yu that things came out even though she had never been busy in the kitchen?
However, for better lighting, Xiao Nianzhi lit an extra lamp.
After adding the lights, Xiao Nianzhi looked up specifically, thinking about making some scented candles.
But there are a lot of things that need to be done now, so this can be put on the back burner.
Making dough figurines requires absolute patience because of various stripes, scratches, and embossing...
If you don't have any patience, you won't be able to do this job for a moment.
Especially the picture of the goddess scattering flowers, no matter which version it is, just the scattered flowers are enough to keep people busy.
As for the sleeves of the goddess's gown, there are no stable points of decoration, and the flour itself is difficult to support for a long time.
This is similar to fondant.
At this time, support tools are needed to assist in the completion of the overall process.
Xiao Nianzhi asked Manager Qiu about the corresponding tools during the day and found a lot of corresponding scrap wire.
After Xiao Nianzhi cleaned and polished it, he added the corresponding paint, then bent it into the required shape, and then it was ready for use.
Probably because of the quietness of the night, Xiao Nianzhi's efficiency continued to improve.
The Heavenly Lady's Scattering of Flowers itself is not complicated, and Xiao Nianzhi never thought of making it too big.
So, overall, it's relatively easy.
After all, not many details are involved.
If it is a small garden, then the various details of flowers, buds, etc. will probably take most of the day.
When Xiao Nianzhi was busy, the overall design was in festive red, supplemented by a variety of pale pink and water-red petals, and a face in the shape of a goddess scattering flowers with colorful auspicious clouds. It was finally completed!
Looking at the finished product, which symbolized auspiciousness and joy, Xiao Nianzhi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Afterwards, I felt tired, especially my eyes, which were so tired and sore under the dim candlelight.
After Xiao Nianzhi rubbed his hands together, he applied a simple hot compress to his eyes, then tidied up and went back to sleep.
We have to continue farming tomorrow, so rest first and then study other things.
