Chapter 29
Bai Chun, who had never heard of a sheep's horn being able to make a lantern, listened to Ye Qing's self-talk while cooking in the kitchen.
She didn't pay attention to or stop Ye Qing's indiscriminate tossing, and whimsically wanted to make a lantern into a sheep's horn.
In her opinion, as long as he doesn't go out and embarrass himself, he can toss as much as he likes at home.
So while she was cooking in the kitchen, she listened to Ye Qing enjoying herself in the yard: "Are you sick?" Do you have medicine? How much do you eat? I eat as much as you have! I eat as much as you want! You're insane! You can cure it! ”
After Ye Qing fished out the horns of the sheep that had been boiled for most of the day, he asked Bai Chun to get a field knife, after all, that field knife had big back teeth, and it was perfect for sawing this horn.
Bai Chun looked at the topaz-like horns, and couldn't bear to let Ye Qing spoil that good knife, but she was cooking, and she really couldn't stand the little uncle leaning against the door frame, and his mouth crackled like a firecracker, which made her upset, and she almost poured all the jars of salt into the dish.
Ye Qing, who finally got the field knife as she wished, wrapped the horns that were still a little hot in the cloth and compared them for a long time, and then began to saw, the small sound was heard in Bai Chun's ears, like a stab in her heart, I was afraid that this unreliable little uncle would break the knife that she liked more and more.
"Sister-in-law, this knife is actually not suitable for you, it is too heavy, and your wrist strength is small, so it can't exert its due power, but it is enough for self-defense." He threw the sawn horns into the pot again, then took the other three horns, drew the lines and sawed them one by one, and threw the field knife on the table.
"Give it back when you've wiped it clean." Bai Chun glanced at the black knife back, which still had something like sheep's horns, and immediately said coldly.
"Pretty good...... Well, got it. Ye Qing took the knife back again, and while looking at the horns in the pot, he wiped the field knife.
"When I'm free, I'll give you a dagger that suits you, and I'm sure you'll be able to use it more easily than this knife." Ye Qing lowered his head and wiped the knife, but his mouth was not idle.
In his opinion, the claw lamp is easy to make, but if you want to make that Ming tile, it will definitely not work with only this pot at home.
And the mussel shell and natural mica flakes, I don't know what they are called now, and when the time comes, I have to trouble Miss Yan to help me find them, and I also need to find a blacksmith shop to level the Ming tile that is ready to be formed.
As for whether he can make a smooth and smooth Ming tile at that time, to be honest, Ye Qing has no score at all in his heart, he is completely a stupid boy sleeping on a cool kang, all with a passionate energy.
In fact, after the horn is boiled soft, its horn is not the same as the heat expansion of the bones, at this time, as long as the bones inside are clamped and pumped outward, the horns and bones can be smoothly separated.
This is also Ye Qing after looking at the boiled soft horns, only to wake up, with the kung fu of boiling the horns just now, casually made of wood last, inserted into the truncated horns, began to stretch it to the maximum, and then let it cool freely, and then put it into the pot together with the last to continue to cook, and then change to a larger last to continue to expand, so that after repeating many times, you can basically ensure that a lantern is formed.
Watching the horn get bigger and bigger, its surface became thinner and thinner, and the original crystal clear color like topaz became lighter and lighter, closer and closer to transparent.
"Stop what you're doing and eat first." Bai Chun put the two pieces of chopsticks away, and looked at the original horns, which had lost their original appearance, and became more and more like a lantern.
"You eat first, I'll be done soon." Ye Qing didn't look back, in the firewood pile in the yard, he didn't know what to find, the field knife in his hand was skillfully danced by him, but the afterimage fluttered but couldn't fall, it seemed to be stuck in his hand.
"Then I'll wait for you later." Bai Chun picked up a small bench and sat down at the kitchen door with the corner of his skirt.
"Okay, I'll wash my hands and eat." The spinning field knife in Ye Qing's hand suddenly stopped in his hand, and then as soon as he raised his hand, the black field knife flew out with lightning and plunged deep into the wooden door of his bedroom.
Habitually raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then looked up at the sky, and unconsciously it was already six o'clock: "Sister-in-law, what time is it?" ”
"It's time, what's wrong?" Bai Chun looked at the field knife inserted in the door, sighed helplessly, and got up to pull out the field knife.
But when she held the handle of the knife, it took a long time to slam the door panel, but the knife was still stuck in the door panel without moving, and she couldn't pull it out no matter what.
"You...... Help me pull it out! Bai Chun, who was huffing, looked at Ye Qing who was pulling out his knife while walking to the kitchen after washing his hands, and said with a displeased expression.
"With your feet." Ye Qing rolled his eyes and said.
"How do you pull it out with your foot, you can pull one for me?"
As soon as Bai Chun's words fell, he saw Ye Qing raise his leg and kick it on the handle of the knife from the bottom up, the door panel didn't even move, and the field knife fell to the ground with Ye Qing's kick.
"Nasty! Eat it yourself! Bai Chun glanced at the rude Ye Qing angrily, and then squatted down, obviously disgusted that Ye Qing kicked off the field knife with his foot, so he used his index finger and thumb to carefully pinch the handle of the field knife, and gently put it into a ceramic basin, which was going to wash the knife thoroughly.
Ye Qing continued to roll his eyes, looked at Bai Chun who was fetching water, and said: "Cold water can't be washed at all, if you want to wash it, disinfect it with hot water, and it is best to disinfect it with alcohol, but unfortunately, we don't have it at home." ”
"You have to take care of it! Eat your meal and go. Bai Chuntou said without replying, but after hearing Ye Qing's words, he involuntarily turned his head to look at the pot in the yard that was still steaming.
But after thinking about it, the pot had just finished cooking, and the water in it could not be used to wash the knife, so he got up again, swept over Ye Qing by himself, scooped hot water from the pot in the kitchen, and poured it into the ceramic basin outside.
"By the way, what does disinfection mean? Why use hot water? Bai Chun watched the field knife soaking in steaming water, and asked with some concern: "After soaking in water, it won't rust, right?" ”
"Disinfection is ...... In short, it's just to be clean, these dishes and chopsticks or something, it's best to wash them with hot water in the future, of course, including clothes or something. In short, this can reduce the chance of getting sick and avoid some contagious diseases. Ye Qing was eating by himself, it was getting dark, and Bai Chun outside was squatting on the ground, looking at the field knife in the basin and not speaking.
"Then it won't rust?" After a long while, Bai Chun suddenly asked.
Because Bai Chun suddenly came out, Ye Qing, who was almost choking on eating, rolled his eyes, this time he was choked and rolled his eyes.
"The others are not good, this one will definitely not, just throw it into the stove and burn it, it will be fine, eat me after eating." Ye Qing put down the dishes and chopsticks, since Bai Chun came over, he helped Ye Qing solve the problem of three meals a day, so that he would not wander outside every day and eat mixed rice.
And the dishes and chopsticks, etc., Bai Chun never used Ye Qing to wash them, they were all washed by Bai Chun himself, even if Ye Qing wanted to help, he would be driven out by Bai Chun with a cold expression, and he would not be allowed to touch these things.
So now Ye Qing didn't pay attention to it anymore, wiped his mouth after eating, and walked to the courtyard, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to continue his great cause of horn lanterns.
Looking at the watch on Ye Qing's wrist, Bai Chun has been observing for a long time, and he always sees Ye Qing put the horn in the boiling water, and then looks at the thing on his wrist from time to time, but he doesn't know what he is looking at.
"Would you like to put the things on your wrists in hot water to disinfect them too?" The corners of Bai Chun's mouth hooked up a smile, the night shrouded in the courtyard, and under the cover of his hair, Bai Chun at this moment added a hazy style.
Bai Chun's original intention was to tease the little uncle, looking at the little uncle's precious wrist, naturally he would definitely not agree to put that thing into the water.
But to her surprise, after Ye Qing heard her suggestion, he nodded silently, and after looking at the things on his wrist, Bai Chun didn't see any movement of his fingers, only heard a subtle sound, and the thing that was originally on the wrist and couldn't fall off was taken off by Ye Qing.
"Yes, it's waterproof anyway, and I'm not afraid." Ye Qing handed the watch to Bai Chun.
Bai Chun didn't put it into the hot water that was soaking in the field knife for the first time, but took it in his hand again and looked at it carefully, looked at the transparent surface and asked, "You're not afraid of water entering here?" What is this done and why is it so transparent? ”
"It seems to be a sapphire crystal mirror, not afraid of water, and not afraid of scratches." Ye Qing took out the softened horns in the boiling water again, and then took out the largest last and began to stretch the horns hard.
"I haven't seen it, it's just a little heavy." Bai Chun put the watch on his wrist, clumsily used his other hand to tinker for a long time before buckling the strap buckle, and then followed Ye Qing's appearance, or the natural subconscious action of human beings, and shook his wrist, so that the watch was in the most natural and comfortable state on the wrist.
Ye Qing stopped what he was doing, and he could vaguely see that Bai Chun, who was sitting on the bench, was revealing a snow-white arm, wearing the watch he had just taken off on his wrist, and was looking at it "smelly".
"It's military, and it's ...... In short, it is very expensive, more expensive than our family. Ye Qing smiled, watching Bai Chun open the buckle for a while, and then fasten the buckle again, taking care of himself and having fun.
Bai Chun didn't care how expensive this thing was, he just took it off and held it in his hand, and finally soaked it in hot water along with the field knife: "Where did you get these things?" I've never seen it before, and your yellow and green clothes, the fabric, the thing you call a backpack, the fabric is thicker and stronger, and I haven't seen it. ”
"It's all inherited from my Ye family, it's normal that you haven't seen it. In Lin'an City, who will have nothing to do with the ancestral heirlooms, every day outside to show ah, as the so-called wealth is not exposed, the same is true of family heirlooms. Ye Qing looked at the lantern that took nearly four hours to make, and the base where the candle could be placed was also fixed by him.
