Chapter 918 Molar stick (33)

Hearing the phone ringing, Zhang Feng looked at Brother Niu's phone and thought to himself that this buddy has been busy holding the baby recently, why did he think of himself today?
"Yo, Brother Niu, why do you have time to call me?"

"Hahaha, won't it be a full moon if you don't have a baby in two days? Brother, I'm going to prepare a few banquets in the shop, please come and have fun." Fatty Niu hurriedly invited Zhang Feng.

"Brother Niu, tell me when, we will definitely come!" Zhang Feng immediately agreed when he heard about it.

"Two o'clock at noon the day after tomorrow, come over on time to eat glutinous rice balls..."

In Qingshan, relatives and friends are always invited to eat glutinous rice balls during the full moon, which should mean fullness and fullness.
"By the way, remember to call Yiyi and Zhang Yi!" In the end, Fatty Niu didn't forget to remind him.

"Understood, I will notify them!" Zhang Feng nodded, and the other party hung up the phone.

……

"Oh, how time flies!"

A month passed in a blink of an eye, Zhang Feng sat on the wicker chair, looked up at the sky, feeling quite emotional.

Zhang Feng was also very happy about the full moon of Xiao Niu Niu, but when he thought that he hadn't prepared a gift yet, he became worried again.

What should I give myself?
How about a toothbrush? ? ? ?
have to!Just do it, thinking of this gift, Zhang Feng will get into the utility room to find his own carving tools.

But the wood is hard to find, and it is generally better to use pepper for molar sticks.

But there is no one at home, what should I do?So Zhang Feng took the machete and walked towards the back mountain, remembering that he needed wild pepper trees in his wasteland, and cutting off a part of the branches was enough.

The distribution of Zanthoxylum bungeanum in my country is still very wide, and Zanthoxylum bungeanum can be planted almost all over the country.

Pepper trees are deciduous trees.It can grow up to about 7 meters, but this tall pepper tree is not common.The pepper trees we often see in our lives are generally about 3 meters long.

Zanthoxylum is not a precious wood, it grows slowly, and the thickest is only a few centimeters, so it can't be made into furniture, and it is almost useless.
But pepperwood is not useless
In rural areas, the more common use of pepper wood is to make walking sticks.

The old man likes the cane made of pepper wood, because the pepper wood itself is not very big, and the pepper wood is not very high, so the crutch is just right.There will be many small cockroaches on the top of the pepper wood.These little roaches will not be sanded when making the cane, but should be preserved.Not only does this look good, but it also serves a very important function, namely helping.The elderly massage acupuncture points. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the elderly often use pepper to massage their hands, which can prevent hand numbness.The old people often use crutches, often touch the cane, and the pepper cane will have a patina, so the pepper cane that was originally not very expensive will be very expensive.

In addition, peppercorns can also be used to make teething sticks for babies.Is this a bit of a surprise?In fact, this tradition has a history of more than 1000 years, mainly in the central and southwestern regions of our country.Because pepper wood is not easy to produce mites, and its wood can play a very good bactericidal effect, it is an excellent material for making children's molar sticks.

After finding the best wood, Zhang Feng started carving when he got home.

At some point, Yiyi walked into the yard and saw Zhang Feng carving something, but she didn't make a sound, and watched silently from the side.

After Zhang Feng finished carving, Yiyi asked curiously.

"Madman, what are you carving?"

"Hehe, this is a teething stick for Mavericks!" Zhang Feng replied with a smile while turning his head to look at Yiyi.

"Little Niu Niu? The little prince of Brother Niu's family??" Yiyi asked in surprise.

"That's right, isn't the baby going to be full moon in two days? Just now Brother Niu called us to invite us!" Then Zhang Feng passed the news on to Yiyi.

"Oh, I haven't even prepared a gift yet!" Hearing that Niu Niu's birthday is coming, Yiyi suddenly panicked.

"Hehe, it's okay, don't worry, think about it, don't you think I'm just getting ready?" Zhang Feng comforted Yiyi with the molar stick in his hand.

What should I send?

Brother Niu's family is not short of money, so he definitely can't give away some simple things that can be bought with money.
Suddenly Yiyi's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a good way!
"Madman, how about I draw a portrait of Niu Niu?"

"Hey, that's a good idea!"

Zhang Feng is very aware of Yiyi's painting skills. Although her skills have not yet reached the level of a master, they have reached the level of a junior painter.

Therefore, Yiyi was going to draw a portrait of the baby, which couldn't be easier.

And the gifts I made by myself must be more sincere than the things I bought. I believe Brother Niu and his sister-in-law should like it more, and it should be very interesting for the baby to grow up and see what he looked like when he was a child.

Due to time constraints, Yiyi didn't have time to delay, so she searched Niu Fatty's WeChat with Zhang Feng and found the most suitable photo, and planned to draw her and give it to Niu Niu Xiaogongju after it was framed.

………………

After Yiyi left, Zhang Feng also hurriedly informed Zhang Yi, asking him to prepare gifts quickly.

Knowing that Zhang Feng personally made a teething stick for the baby, and Yiyi was going to draw a portrait of the little princess, Zhang Yi, who had no talent, was in a hurry!

"Oh brother! Why do you say you gave such a good gift? I don't even know what to give!"

Zhang Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought it was my fault!
"Hey, why don't I give hundreds of red envelopes directly!" Zhang Yi said in a delirious manner.

"Others still need your red envelopes?" Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Zhang Feng glared at him, and then said, "It's better if you give some souvenirs than yourself?"

"Hey, that's true!" Zhang Yi embarrassedly scratched his head.

Not to mention, hard work pays off. Zhang Yi thought about it for a day, traveled all over the village, and finally let him find a good thing.

This guy actually found a cradle made of wicker at Ah Hong's house, which is very suitable for babies. The safety performance has also been monitored, and safety is not a problem.

But the price is not cheap, A Hong asked for 888, and Zhang Yi, a veteran in business, finally cut it down to 666 yuan. A Hong smiled wryly, but it took him a week to complete it!

loss!It's really a big loss. Such pure handmade products cost at least one or two thousand, right?Although this is my own practice work, it only sells for 666, which is really too cheap.
"Hey, thank you, Ah Hong, and I'll give you a [-]% discount if you go to my house to buy native chicken!" Zhang Yi said to Ah Hong in a good manner after getting the cheap price.

"Go! You hurry up and go!"

Zhang Yi's words made Ah Hong angry. His family already had local chickens, so he needed to buy them from other people's houses?
