It's not troublesome to make a rabbit lamp. Use bamboo strips to make circles and connect them, and then paste it with paper. It's mainly painting. The lanterns are made into cylindrical ones. The bamboo strips on the rabbit's stomach are roasted with fire, and then they can be sunken in and stuck tightly to the lantern. The paper is pasted and painted well. A rabbit holding the lamp will be finished!
Round fat rabbit, four claws up and down the lantern in his arms, both lovely and novel. As a soft sister paper, Su siniang is naturally in love with the lantern.
Xue Lang touched his chin and thought, ”sister-in-law, I don't need to buy lanterns any more. Let's make them ourselves.”
Su siniang looked at the rabbit holding the lamp in her hand: ”can!”
Su Han quietly raised his hand: ”if it is to do such a lantern, piece of bamboo work, I should be able to do it!”
So Chen, who was in charge of purchasing, changed from buying lanterns to buying bamboo --
ah Chen bought a carriage of bamboo and, by the way, invited five people to come and help with bamboo strips for 15 Wen a day. Bamboo strip itself is not a technical work, the difference is that skilled hands can be sliced faster and won't cut their hands; and a raw hand can pull a hole in his hand if he is not careful.
Taking advantage of the efforts of the invited people, Xue Lang designed the lanterns. There are two basic styles of lanterns, oval and cylindrical. The flower work lies in the shape of the lanterns glued together -
the twelve zodiac animals! Fat baby! All kinds of small animals! It's very simple to draw.
At the gate, there are two fat dolls on the left and one on the right, carrying the lantern style, which can be made bigger, and the corridor is hung with zodiac and small animals. In fact, Xue Lang also wanted to draw a transformer. However, it is estimated that no one in ancient times understood what a transformer is. The life through is so lonely as snow.
Dr. Su Han and Su Han have a pair of skillful hands. Seeing the appearance of Xue Lang's paintings, he knows how to weave a general shape with bamboo strips, then paste paper and draw patterns -
Jiang Lin and Su Han are both literate and martial figures. The simple work of drawing lanterns is easy to grasp. However, what the three people finally painted turned out to be three styles. Su siniang was speechless when she looked at the lantern with different painting styles in front of her eyes.
Su Han is a typical line drawing technique, which tends to be realistic; Jiang Lin has a little meaning of painting method of later generations, but if we want to carefully identify it, it has some woodblock style; while Xue Lang's paintings are mostly round Q Meng painting style.
”Lady, how do you hang these lanterns? Please show me
The servants waited carefully for Su siniang to show them. Su Si Niang waved weakly and said, ”the biggest two hang at the gate! Well In order to keep the style consistent, big brother's paintings are hung in the outer courtyard, and those painted by ah Han and Lin Lang are hung in the backyard. ”
”Here it is.”
The servants busily arranged.
Xue langyuan thought that the preparation of the Shangyuan festival was just like this. He thought that Shangyuan festival was also called the Lantern Festival. Could it be called Lantern Festival without Lantern Festival! Because of the lack of peanut harvest, Xue Lang did not take it to extract oil, but intended to keep it as seeds. However, it was good to take a few peanuts and stir fry them for a while. It was also good to grind the dumplings. By the way, you can also wrap some sesame seeds.
Sesame and pepper were valuable items in the Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period, there was a senior official who copied all the pepper from his family. It can be seen that the price of pepper has been very strong, which can be regarded as a disguised hard currency.
You don't need pepper to wrap yuanxiao. You just need sesame and glutinous rice noodles. They are all things that cost a lot of money, but in order to eat, Qian Xuelang is willing to spend it.
Two days before the Lantern Festival, the snow finally stopped. Su simiang is very happy. The snow stops, and the market of Shangyuan festival will be more lively. As soon as the snow stopped, they organized the servants in the mansion to take brooms and go out to sweep the snow.
Xue Lang, Jiang Lin and Su Han were left in the house. Su simiang sent a message early in the morning to tell them not to go out, but to arrange something. When Su siniang came in, she asked the people in the sewing room to measure the size, saying it was prepared for the Shangyuan Festival.
Xue Lang thought that she was going to make new clothes. The storehouse in the mansion had a lot of cloth, so she went with her. However, until the day of Shangyuan Festival, Xue Lang knew that he was too naive!
On the day of Shangyuan Festival, it turned out to be fine. As the first night to see the moon after the lunar new year, lanterns and decorations are decorated in Chang'an city. Every household hangs or makes or purchases lanterns. There are also craftsmen who do all kinds of opera in the city. For Chang'an City, which is often curfew, such a lively scene is rare. However, before that, there is a problem to be solved!
“…… So what were you talking about, sister-in-law? ”
