After "Little Tail" followed everyone in the applause, she found that the "Yu Yu" she brought specially was damaged by the slapping action. She was very frustrated. She felt that the reason why Sister Shang Wu could dance so beautifully was because It's the effect brought about by this "Yu Feather" or the tooth-colored gauze streamer. But I can't learn it because I don't know how to use these two things.

Shang Wu noticed "Little Tail"'s expression and guessed what she was thinking, so he walked up to her and put the tooth-colored ribbon he had just used for dancing on her shoulders. He comforted her with a smile and said, " My sister likes it, so I’ll give you this scarf! Don’t be happy anymore!”

"Little Tail" threw away the damaged feather in his hand, grabbed the streamer with both hands, and imitated Sister Shang Wu's dance. She opened her bow left and right and danced in a pretentious manner. However, her body, eyes, and footwork were all different. There was no match between them. It was like a wild dance like "looking at the east but not the west, looking at the head but not the feet". At this time, she became discouraged, lowered her hands again, grabbed the streamer, and With a reluctant look on his face, he asked:

"Sister Shang Wu, I understand that you can dance so beautifully, but I can't?"

"Everything in the world has its own reason. If you want to dance beautifully, you must follow the rules and practice diligently. Over time, you will be able to do it naturally. If my sister wants to learn, I will I can teach you! But don’t be impatient, this cannot be accomplished in a day." Sister Shang Wu explained softly.

What kind of fairy sister is this! She is beautiful and speaks so logically. I wish I had a sister like this! "Little Tail" thought to himself, he fell in love with this beautiful sister Shang more and more, and really wanted to take her back and be with her every day.

"It's great. 'Little Tail' has finally shifted its focus to Shang Wu. I beg you two to stay together for a few more years! Please, please!"

Seeing that the relationship between the two sisters was getting better and better, Xiang Zhong felt secretly happy and silently recited the "Send-off Spell".

"Okay, okay! Sister Wu, can you tell your father if you can keep us at Brother Dan's house for a few more days, and by the way, my future husband - Xiang Chong , I learn dancing from you, he talks verses with brother Dan, my brother competes with brother You in archery, and the two ladies can also exchange weaving skills, okay?"

"Little Tail" is a brat, but he has a leadership style. He is not polite and arranges the work for everyone in the next few days.

"Of course you can, it should be like this! After coming a long way, how can we come back so easily and make us lose our etiquette?" Sister Shang Wu didn't need to ask her father for instructions at all. This is a protocol that should be part of the etiquette. Why do you need to beg? She nodded immediately with a smile, He answered for his father.

When Dr. Shang saw the children in the hall being so polite, he happily stroked his beard and nodded in approval with a smile.

Now that the schedule has been clearly arranged by "Little Tail", although everyone feels that it is a bit informal, they actually follow this arrangement. It can be said that "Little Tail" has turned away from the guests when he first arrived, and just follows the guests. Reply, there is no other way. Children's words are unbridled. Everyone will only find it interesting and harmless. There is no harm in following it. As long as it is reasonable and slightly inappropriate, we can understand it.

"Sunset Moon, Sunset Moon", the highlight of nature's moon viewing, is the climax of this gathering.

Although this was an era without electricity, it was the best external condition for stargazing and moon-gazing! All places on the earth are the best observation points for the "Galaxy"! With these conditions, no wonder there are so many astronomers! The natural conditions for stargazing this night are really excellent.

Although the old mansion is not luxurious, it still has the conditions to light a few oil lamps at night. After all, his son worked as a civil servant in the Zhou Dynasty, and Dr. Shang's economic conditions are not bad. He will never spend this holiday on this festive night. A few oil lamps. Especially to entertain guests from the Song Dynasty who came from afar, they were naturally well prepared.

Although the Chen State was still governed by Gui Ruo at this time, in fact, the country had already been leaked from all directions. Facing the eager gaze of the Chu State, it had already been living like a frightened bird and had no time to take care of itself. It also had no idea how to manage the people. Yes, it just looks good. In fact, the influx of refugees and chaotic household registration management have created a different kind of "prosperity" in which people can take care of themselves.

Since the old lady settled in Chen State, she has lived her life peacefully and does not want to go to Zhou with her son.

In the Central Plains region, at that time, the earth was still relatively warm, so even though it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no special chill. On the contrary, there was a bumper harvest and autumn colors. The farmers were in a good mood and took advantage of this full moon. At night, have a good celebration.

The "glutinous rice glutinous rice cake and sweet stall cake" passed down from the Suzhou area is the most delicious festival food at this time and the earliest authentic "moon cake" in China.

Although wheat and barley are still the main foods in Chen State, the festival is special, and newly harvested rice from the south of the Yangtze River is also traded. According to the traditional method, the old lady soaked and steamed the glutinous rice in advance, and then beat it into fine pieces. It is sticky and soft like "Korean cake". Then dry it in the sun, grind it finely, mix it with water, and lightly apply a layer of lard on the iron stone board, a rare thin layer of lard. , then use a gourd made of gourd to scoop out a spoonful of mixed glutinous rice flour, and spread it into small round cakes. Under the stone slab, the temperature of the charcoal is just right, allowing these small "moon cakes" to have time to cook calmly. Accompanied by the "sizzling" sound of the oil being heated and slightly fried, the gentle popping sound can also "explode" the "harazi" in the mouth. When one side is slightly browned, turn it over. The sweet aroma of roasted glutinous rice fills the air thickly, impacting the noses, ears, eyes, stomachs... and hearts of every diner near the baking pan!

The baked "mooncakes" were picked up and placed on a plate prepared in advance. They were piled higher and higher. The "little tail" was like an "assembly line" processing process, loyally guarding the plate. When one comes out, eat one; when another comes out, eat another... Finally, Ji Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran over and pulled her aside, teaching her a lesson:

"Stop eating! It's so rude and shameless!"

"Little Tail" just thought it was delicious. Such delicious freshly baked "mooncakes" were eaten for the first time in her life. Once the glutton was hooked, she couldn't control herself. When her brother pulled her away, In an instant, she bit down on half of the cake in her hand, and moved her hands together to grab a piece of cake each. Then she opened her big innocent eyes and winked at her brother coquettishly, with a smile on her face. The expression of "I'll just eat it, what can you do to me?"

Well, in front of delicious food, the "little tail" turns into a "little scoundrel".
