Chapter 243 First Moon Lanterns (Part 2)

He held a whole knife in his hand, Jiangxi Mayuan Shop Flower Hat, the old mulberry paper from the next year, and two small jars of vinegar tail juice poured from the old vinegar workshop in Qingxu, Shanxi. Jiuhou'er's ears listened to the anecdotes of the shops on the street, and couldn't help but smile a smug smile appeared on his face.

Since the day when the Wukaimen opened, the group of young apprentices in the Huozhengmen have never stopped. They have put a bunch of people in front of Master Na Jiu who have nothing to do. After taking a sip of a bowl of tea, someone has added it. The water in the wine plug is mixed with the waves. Master Na Jiu accidentally took the old Fenjiu that had just poured out and took a sip of it, and asked the hot old Fenjiu to squirt it into the sky with a hot sound!

Seeing that the little apprentices around him were looking at him one by one, but none of them dared to speak, Na Jiuye could have any doubts in his heart? In the past year, Huozhengmen Hall had really earned a few, so he waved his hand and let the little apprentices find Hu Qianli to withdraw money from the official account, and host a lively lantern festival.

If someone else remembered the lantern hunter who could make lanterns after the door was opened, he would probably not be able to find a master who could be outstanding. But he couldn't resist the fact that there was a skillful craftsman like Mr. Hong in Huozhengmen. Although he was always in the business of making various whistles and lanterns, as the saying goes, one thing is to make sense and achieve success in all industries. With Mr. Hong passing by in the Sijiu City for so many years, seeing and handling scenes, how could he not be able to grasp a few lanterns?

It also has to be said that it was a matter of face. When the little apprentices who had supported the money from Hu Qianli found Mr. Hong, they said auspicious words and flattered words. A few girls pulled Mr. Hong's arm and shook it a few times. The old man Hong nodded and agreed, but he really took out his real skills and hard skills - the lanterns that were tied up were to be revealed. In addition, the men walking in the Sijiu City were passing by. If the person I had seen before, I would ask someone to criticize him to show off his good looks...

Regardless of the other side, I am afraid that I will see a familiar friend on the street in the future, so I feel embarrassed to say hello to others, right?

With the ample hand and the little apprentice who was joining in the fun, Mr. Hong naturally showed off his skills when he was in charge of the craftsmanship scene. After a few days, the big lantern in the yard at the second entrance of Huozhengmen Hall had already looked like this.

Seeing Jiuhouer walking into the second yard with the materials I just bought, Mr. Hong immediately waved at Jiuhouer: ""Jiuhouer, you are still waiting for you here! His hands and feet are neat, and these small pieces are placed from high to low. Put them on the red marks I pointed out with a cinnabar pen. But remember that An is firm...

He put the object in front of Mr. Hong, and Jiuhouer looked up at the lantern archway behind Mr. Hong, which could already be seen, and immediately shouted with his thumbs up: "Wow... Mr. Hong, just by handling the lanterns that you have laid out. I guess the people at the lantern festival on the overpass tonight would be shocked.! In the past, the lanterns that were thorned by the famous masters in the lantern craftsmanship were thorned out by the carousels. It was the two layers inside and outside, but your lantern archway... I can't count it? Mr. Hong. How are you skillful? You also told us juniors, let's have a good understanding, right?"

He stroked the beard on his jaw with some satisfaction, but Mr. Hong ignored Jiu Houer's words, but just reached out to pick up a piece of mulberry paper, then looked at the two small jars that Jiu Houer had touched back, and nodded slightly: "It's said that Jiu Houer is a geographical ghost in the Sijiu City. This Jiangxi mulberry paper can be found by spending money and effort, but this old vinegar tail... where did you touch it?"

He competed slightly under his feet. Jiuhouer jumped onto the pedestal next to the lantern archway, and as he followed Mr. Hong's instructions, he placed the round, flat, pointed or blunt copper reeds in the place with the cinnabar marks. He smiled proudly and replied: "Looking for the territory of this old vinegar tail, far away in the sky, near in front of him - the grocery store on the street!"

While cutting mulberry paper with a small knife the size of a finger, Mr. Hong asked strangely: "Can there be an old vinegar tail in the grocery store? This thing is useless at all on weekdays. Who can buy this thing in the grocery store?"

He smirked, Jiuhouer was really climbing on the pedestal like a living monkey, and quickly pressed the copper reels to the lantern archway: "The grocery store does not have a vinegar tail, but the grocery store does not have a vinegar jar? This is the New Year, and the goods purchased and sold by each company before the New Year are sold, especially the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which is even more sold! I just found a few more grocery stores, and I exchanged the bottoms of those vinegar jars for a short time! Mr. Hong, do you think it's okay to use them?"

Asked several carefully thoughtful girls to take a small brush with a fine hair brush and dip the tail of old vinegar to brush the mulberry paper they cut out. Mr. Hong said casually, "The mulberry paper is transparent, but it's just a fear of fire. After dipping the tail of old vinegar, even if you use the flames to burn it, it will take a while to get up. Put it in the lantern with such a dressed mulberry paper..."

He was amused and laughed. Jiuhouer immediately responded to Mr. Hong's words: "What do I say? Why did I light a big butter candle in the lantern archway I have seen in the past and are afraid that the water will be gone, but we dare to put six big butter candles in the lantern archway? After a long time of trouble, this knowledge is here..."

He nodded with praise, but Mr. Hong smiled again and said, "It's not a waste of your senior brother, you praised you for your awakening... Then I'll test you again. Light six big butter candles. In addition to making our lantern archway a lot brighter, what else can you do?"

He stretched his head and looked at the lantern archway through the hole that had not been covered with mulberry paper. Jiuhouer hesitated for a moment, turned his head and said to Mr. Hong as if he was not sure, "I looked at the bends in the lantern archway, all of which were made of bamboo strips soaked in lime water? The outside was covered with mulberry paper to prevent air leakage... This horizontal line was lit by the hot air after the big butter candle, and urged the buckles on the lantern archway to circulate?"

With a smile without comment, Mr. Hong turned his head and walked into his room: "You can be quicker under your hands. You should put the silks outside the lantern archway in a while!"

After installing the last few copper reeds on the lantern archway in a few seconds, Jiuhouer jumped down from the pedestal in a neat way: "Mr. Hong, are you leaving your hands now?"

Turning his head and laughing at Jiuhouer, Mr. Hong squeezed his eyes at Jiuhouer with an old child: "You can't ask me about this."

In a little anxious, Jiuhouer suddenly shouted in surprise: "Don't ask you? Then who should I ask? In the Huozhengmen Hall, who else can be more expert than you?"

He didn't agree to Jiuhou'er's question, Mr. Hong just whined towards the house where Nalan lived, and then went straight back to his room with his hands on his back.

Looking at the closed door of Nalan's room in the direction that Old Master Hong pointed out, Jiuhouer muttered to herself in a dumbfounded manner: "Senior Sister Nalan? How can I find my senior sister Nalan on this matter? I'm telling you guys, who has seen Sister Nalan?"

When he heard Jiuhouer's question, several of his little apprentices immediately shouted and answered Jiuhouer's words: "I haven't seen Sister Nalan these days!"

"I met in the morning, and went out with Senior Brother Xiang, and I was pulling a big cart!"

"When I just bought the lake silk a few days ago, I saw Sister Nalan and Senior Brother Xiang pulling the lake silk away with a cart..."

"It's true! Where is the lake silk? Why haven't you seen so many lake silk?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Youbao's shout came from outside the small corner gate of the second entrance to the yard: "People in the yard quickly come out to help, this is exhausting me..."

There was no need to wait for the Jiuhouer tribe, a few little disciples who were closer to the back corner gate ran away and quickly opened the faintly hidden back corner gate, and then helped Xiang Youbao push the cart full of lake silk into the yard.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Xiang Youbao pointed at the cart with his chin and shouted in a loud voice: "I'm careful in my hands. These lake silks are now treasures. If you count them in Sijiu City, it's a good thing that can't be bought even if you spend money!"

When he got to the cart, Jiuhouer looked at the lake silk with some more ink marks, and rolled his eyes and shouted, "Senior Brother Xiang, I'll ask you to take out this lake silk for a few days, and this lake silk will become a treasure? Are you all the characters who are playing tricks on the sky bridge? They are amazing, but you are a living person who has changed a lot, but you're a big change baby?"

Turning his head and breeze at Nalan, who was also sweating, Xiang Youbao responded to Jiuhouer with a smile: "Mr. Jiuhouer, this is really not my ability, it is the face of your Senior Sister Nalan! I will tell you clearly that just to make you kids have fun, these lake silks covered on the lights are all the drawings drawn by your Senior Sister Nalan who asked Mr. Ink and Plum Shui in Tsinghua Garden. Even the size is the pen that your Senior Sister Nalan quietly measured after measuring it! But in the Sijiu City, the only person who can invite Mr. Ink and Plum Shui to write is probably the only one you, Nalan!"

Holding the corner on the stage, Jiuhouer immediately bowed deeply to Nalan with great sings and chanting: "Oh... Thank you very much for your hard work!"

Suddenly, his face turned red, and Nalan stomped his feet gently: "Jiuhouer, look, I won't tear your mouth..."

"Oh...Sister-in-law, please spare my life... It's not a good time for the Chinese New Year. My sister-in-law beats my brother-in-law..."

"See you dare to talk nonsense!"
