   Chapter 300 He writes, she grinds ink

   "Of course, you still have to ask for money for drinks, but the dishes are free." He said quietly. "Also, it's better to be free for three days. One day feels too short, and three days is almost the same."

   Wang Youbao clapped his hands and said, "Just do as you said!"

   Seeing that Wang Youbao was full of confidence, as if a lot of money was already beckoning to him, he laughed quietly and said, "If you lose at that time, don't blame me."

  Wang Youbao immediately said: "How come? I agree. I think your method is good. Even if you lose money, I am willing!"

  If he didn't lose money, he would make a lot of money, of course he was willing to take a chance.

  …

  Because the cooks are all servants of Wang Youbao's house, An Jing went directly to Wang Youbao's house to cook those dishes on the second day.

   came to town, An Jing didn’t want to go back like this, and then, together with Xiao Changyi, bought some New Year’s goods in Sixteen Towns.

   In fact, I didn’t buy much. In addition to buying 20 pounds of meat to go back to make bacon, I also bought some firecrackers and red paper.

   Red paper is used to write couplets.

Although An Jing and Xiao Changyi had always planned to buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, they never bought it. Now, writing couplets requires a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and there are wolf pen and inkstone from Su Chengyu at home, so An Jing and Xiao Changyi Just buy another ink stick.

   For the convenience of carrying around, there is no ink sold here, but only ink sticks.

  If you want to write with ink, take some ink sticks, put them in the inkstone, add some water and grind them into ink.

   As much ink as you want to write.

   After thinking about it, An Jing still bought some paper for writing. I plan to go back and write and draw when I have nothing to do.

  The paper here, the whitest paper is also yellowish, light yellow, and there is no pure white paper at all.

   Unlike modern, there is bleach.

   Looking at the paper in his hand, he quietly thought of the rice paper known as the 'King of Paper'. Even if no bleach was used, it was still white.

  When she practiced calligraphy with her grandfather, she used rice paper.

Although An Jing does not know the specific process of papermaking, he knows that the raw materials of rice paper are only green sandalwood bark and straw. White paper out.

   It doesn't really matter whether the paper used for writing is white or not, so she doesn't think too much about rice paper.

  …

   As long as there is a door at home, no matter what kind of door, couplets are usually pasted on the door during the New Year's Eve.

  Quiet and Xiao Changyi have seven families, so seven couplets are needed.

  If Xiao Changyi can't write, or his writing is not good-looking, An Jing might write the couplets by himself, but Xiao Changyi's words are chic and elegant, and An Jing will not be ugly, so let Xiao Changyi write the couplets.

  She grinds ink for Xiao Changyi.

Red paper and black characters, very festive. The seven pairs of couplets were first placed in the hall to dry the ink on them. After the ink was dry, An Jing and Xiao Changyi folded the couplets and put them away. on each door.

   Ke Jing and Xiao Changyi had not waited for the New Year's Eve, and they were waiting for a heavy snow, goose feather snow, for a whole day.

  Looking around, everything is white, and looking back, the mountains are all covered in silver, which is very beautiful.

   This is the first snow that Jing Chuan has seen here. Jing is very excited. Even though the weather is very cold, he still pulls Xiao Changyi and stands at the door of the main room for a long time.
