Chapter 12 Tanabata
Soon it will be the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Qixi Festival, which is the day when the legendary Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet at the Magpie Bridge.It's also Xiaoyun's birthday, which Yang Dalang told Mo Nan on his own initiative.I didn't expect that there would be Tanabata in this different world.

She got up early and took out her clothes and a few books that Mr. Zhang had given her to dry.

Before the end of the world, many traditional festivals were reduced to promotional gimmicks for merchants, and the festive atmosphere was gone, and most people did not understand the meaning of the festival.

I still remember that once on the bus, the flight attendant chatted with the driver and said that today is July 7, which is Qixi Festival, do you want to celebrate it.

She couldn't help it at that time, and said: "The seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is Qixi Festival, and today July 7th is the July 7th Marco Polo Bridge Incident."

The atmosphere at the scene was awkward, but luckily she got off at the station soon.But for some reason, she remembered it clearly.

Finally, I can feel the activities of these traditional festivals, and I missed the previous Dragon Boat Festival.I heard from Xiaoyun that because the river here is straight and wide, the dragon boat race is held here every year, which is very lively.

In fact, Mo Nan is even more regretful that he did not eat zongzi. Think about the freshly cooked meat zongzi, peel off the yellow-brown bamboo leaves, and the inside is soft glutinous rice. One bite, you can eat salty and fragrant. Pork belly and shiitake mushrooms.Or eat sweet rice dumpling, bite down and it will be sweet bean paste, just thinking about it will make your mouth water.

In the previous life, any food could be bought in a supermarket or a treasure store, but it did not have the deliciousness that I remembered when I was a child.Perhaps the food produced by the assembly line is far less delicious than the one made by hand.

After the nap, I picked up the prepared gifts and set off with Terry.Make an appointment with Xiaoyun, and I will stay with her until the evening.

When it comes to presents, Mo Nan thought about it for a long time.It is indeed not as convenient as in the previous life, everything can be purchased online.But I always feel that the heart is missing.

She remembered that there was a young researcher in the research compound, she was a girl who admired natural skin care very much.I will make some skin care products for everyone, and the effect is not bad.

Later, Mo Nan was attracted by her, and learned to make some handmade soaps, skin care water and so on.

It just so happens that I can make some handmade soaps as gifts for Xiao Yun, but since I haven't collected any flowers that can be used, I have to make mint flavored ones.

Thinking about finding time to go to the woods and then find flowers and plants to come back.Such as sweet-scented osmanthus, rose, lavender and the like.Only sweet-scented osmanthus is fine, and many things can be prepared, such as sweet-scented osmanthus cake.I hope there is one here, maybe it will be easy to find it in August, the scent of osmanthus in August.

As soon as he arrived at the clothing store, he saw Xiao Yun holding a pair of nanxiang wood bracelets happily.Although the style is relatively simple, each bead is polished so that it shines with great care.

"Yo, I've returned to my soul." She waved her hand in front of the little girl's eyes.

"Xiao Nan is here." With a blushing face, he carefully put the bracelet into the jewelry box.

"Looking at you, brother Da Lang gave you this, right?" he teased the shy little girl.

"Yeah." Xiaoyun nodded very honestly, and then his eyes sparkled: "Brother Dalang made it himself."

"Oh, then with the gift he made himself, you don't need the gift from me." Holding the things in his hand, he turned around with a smile and pretended to leave.

"Xiao Nan, good Xiao Nan." Xiao Yun tugged at her sleeves and refused to let her go. "You just like to laugh at me."

"Hee hee, alright, here you are, I also made this with my own hands." The word "hands-on" was deliberately accentuated.

He took out an exquisite bamboo basket from the bamboo basket, in which six pieces of light green skin care soap were neatly stacked.When she made it, all the materials were prepared and the soap was ready, but there was no mold.In the end, she had no choice but to use the lid of a bamboo jar as a mold. The finished product was a bit rough, and she was a little worried that Xiaoyun would not like it.

"This is a skin care soap for you. It can be used when washing your face and taking a bath. It has a mint flavor."

Xiaoyun hugged her happily: "Thank you Xiaonan."

"Ah, that's right." He took out two larger pieces of skin care soap wrapped in oilcloth, and said, "This is for Aunt Li and Aunt Yang, and I will bring it to them later. What's delicious on Qixi Festival today?" , fun? I haven’t celebrated Qixi Festival normally yet.”

"I made Qiqiao fruit, go and get it for you." Then he ran to the kitchen in a hurry.

I saw her come back with a plate of "qiaoguo" made of flour, in various shapes, and fried in oil.

"Taste." Put the plate in front of Mo Nan.

After washing your hands, pick up a piece and put it in your mouth. It has the aroma of sesame seeds, and it is crispy and crispy after being fried.

"It's delicious, our Xiaoyun's craftsmanship is great." Mo Nan praised Xiaoyun vigorously.

After eating the fruit, Xiaoyun took her to the yard and pointed to a basin of water: "This water has dried up, let's throw a needle."

After speaking, he gently put the needle flat on the water. The needle did not sink. Under the water, a shadow of the needle appeared, which was slightly bent. Xiaoyun said happily: "This is a coincidence. Xiao Nan, give it a try." "

So she also took a needle and put it on the water, and it floated successfully, but the needle shadow was like scissors.Looking at Xiaoyun, he asked, "What about this?"

"Well, well, our Xiaonan is also very handy, and this is also a coincidence."

"Hee hee, it's because of our birthday girl." She patted Xiao Yun's tender face.This kind of competition-like custom should be interesting for a large group of people, but it seems that there are only girls of their age in this village.

At this time, Aunt Li came over and said: "I have boiled water with cypress leaves and peach branches, you go to wash your hair and take a bath."

"Well, thank you Aunt Li (mother)."

Aunt Li watched the two little girls walk to the bathroom hand in hand, followed by a white hair ball at their feet.Smiling, he picked up the newly made clothes and put them on the shelf in the bathroom.

"I put the clothes here, you have to change later."

"understood."

"Ah, Aunt Li, I made skin care soap, one is yours, and the other is Aunt Yang's. I put it in Xiaoyun's room." Mo Nan stretched out his small head from the bathroom and shouted.

I almost forgot the gift for Aunt Li, but I had already taken off my clothes.

Aunt Li patted her on the head, "Understood, I'll get it, go take a shower quickly so you don't catch a cold."

"Ah."

After the two of them finished washing, they saw two sets of clothes on the shelf, one blue and one green.Xiaoyun took the green one, and Mo Nan took the blue one.

Different colors but the same style of unlined skirt, the skirt is embroidered with fluttering butterflies.

The two of them, wearing their middle clothes, washed and dried Terry's hair first, and helped each other twist their hair.Mo Nan was going crazy, isn't it a game?Why is it so troublesome to wash your hair.

Wait until the hair is half dry and no longer dripping, then put on new clothes, and then go to the yard to dry.

After finally waiting for the hair to dry, Xiaoyun helped himself and her to comb their hair.

After Aunt Li finished bathing, tidy up.We ate some pastries to satisfy our hunger, and then we went out together.But Aunt Li and Aunt Yang had an appointment, so they let the two little girls go shopping by themselves.

"Be careful and go home early after playing."

"Yeah." The two nodded.

Unlike the previous celebration, the streets were bustling with people, and some small vendors were selling snacks and gadgets.

"There are so many people, have you never seen so many people?" Mo Nan was a little suspicious.

"Oh, those are people from some villages nearby. Our village is relatively large, so everyone comes here every festival."

The sharp-eyed Xiaoyun saw Yang Dalang approaching from a distance. "Brother Dalang."

Staring at Xiaoyun, who was wearing new clothes and carefully groomed, he said, "Xiaoyun is so beautiful today."

Looking at the nanxiang wood bracelet in her hand again, she asked, "Does this bracelet fit your hand? Do you like it?"

Xiao Yun, who was blushing at the sight, immediately responded, "Very good, I like it very much, thank you Brother Da Lang."

"Someone has already put a lantern by the river, let's go see it together." Yang Dalang said to Xiaoyun.

Mo Nan silently hugged Tai Li as a human-shaped light bulb, although Xiao Yun didn't care, but Yang Dalang glared at her.

The gentle little Zhengtai turned into a domineering man.

We walked to the river together, and there were many people, and the river was covered with lights.All kinds of shapes, including lotus, boat, and lantern, the lights and the reflection in the water form a colorful pattern, which is dazzling.

******
There is nothing busy recently, and the homework left by Mr. Zhang has been done. Mo Nan decided to go hunting in the bamboo forest.

Terry has been reluctant to drink horn goat milk these days, so he can only feed some goat milk occasionally to improve the taste.See if you can hunt a pheasant, or pick up eggs.

After this period of practice, eight out of ten arrows shot can be stably inserted on the target.

Continue to collect seasonings, the bamboo fungus is no longer refreshed, it is estimated that the season has passed, so more seasonings need to be collected.

All the collected ones are made into spices, which are ground into powder and placed in large bamboo tubes.

She found that when it is still in granular form, it can only stack up to 99 pieces, but after it becomes powdery, it can be placed in a bamboo tube and only takes up one space.

So Monan deliberately searched in the bamboo forest and found a kind of diabolo.The bamboo joints of this kind of bamboo are very long and thick.Therefore, many large bamboo tubes were made, which were much larger than the one traded with the shopkeeper Qian.

When she arrived at the bamboo forest, she found that apart from the cooing pheasants, there were also long-eared cockroaches that sprang out from time to time.

The pair of earbuds that Brother Mu brought to Xiaoyun back then had already been eaten by a domineering man on the grounds that he was weak from studying.

He raised the bow and arrow in his hand and pointed it at a long, motionless earbud.One arrow hit a passing pheasant, and Long Ears jumped away when the arrow shot past.

Go forward and pick up the pheasant that was shot innocently, and put it into the space.Because the long-eared birds were all scattered, I had to put down my bow and arrow and search for the pheasant's nest to see if I could find eggs.

I was lucky today. I found two pheasant nests and picked up six wild eggs.Write down the location in detail, because one of them is the place where the egg was picked last time, maybe the egg will be refreshed.

"Terry, go back." Shouted, and as soon as he came to the bamboo forest, Terry, who had reported to its mother, came back with short legs.

Thinking of the pair of long ears that were eaten by the domineering man, they grew up a lot in just half a month.But Terry is still a small one, only the size of two palms.Nothing has changed, is it nutritional deficiencies?

Get it some pheasant soup today, and hope it's all right.
