Su Qingluan followed the principle of "saying ugly things first" and tried his best to list out all the filtering conditions that he could think of, such as "being able to accept painting methods that are different from traditional ones without objection", "being able to accept a 13 or 14-year-old "My little girl became their husband without being dissatisfied", "You have to be patient, you can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days" etc...
In fact, Su Qingluan's "screening conditions" are far more stringent than those for selecting students in modern sketching specialty classes - after all, you only need to pay to go to specialty classes, and whether you can persist is another matter.
However, she had to be cautious - if this completely "novel" skill could not achieve immediate results and be applied to real life, then no matter how novel the skill was, it would be nothing more than empty talk.
Su Qingluan understood very well that in this era, she did not have many network resources, nor any particularly strong family wealth. Only some "little skills" that transcended the times enabled her to surpass other people of this era and become a unique "chip." This is the prerequisite for making a deal with Mu Xingzhi.
Therefore, she hopes to produce "results" more quickly than anyone else - but the main premise is that her "students" can master the sketching technique as quickly as possible and excellently.
However, sketching is a skill that has been accumulated over many years. It is impossible to learn it this month and have everything in the world appear on the page next month.
That's why she carefully selected "highly qualified" students, just so that they could see great progress in the next, perhaps long, period of time.
Of course, in order to be able to show the true purpose of "sketch", Su Qingluan does not intend to just be a "teacher". She will also show off her skills when appropriate. However, there is no suitable opportunity now, so she did not say anything. What.
Since Mu Xingzhi opened his mouth and clearly said, "If you have any requests, please feel free to ask." Su Qingluan simply told me about the easel needed for sketching - but he didn't make it too specific. After all, it couldn't be done in this era. Metal spring clip.
However, Su Qingluan also knew that similar things could be made using mortise and tenon structures and wood screws. However, she was not good at this thing, so she did not draw it in detail, but only talked about the general structure and function of the easel.
After all, the painting shelf is a wooden structure and does not require technology beyond this era. Su Qingluan believes that carpenters of this era can definitely figure it out.
It takes time to select suitable "students", and Su Qingluan only said that there should not be too many students, otherwise she would not be able to take care of them. But whether the number of students is two or three, seven or eight, or a dozen or so is not up to her.
In short, Su Qingluan made various demands very rudely, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: at least until the other party learned the skill of sketching, the life safety of his family was absolutely guaranteed.
Thinking like this, Su Qingluan's steps became brisk when she went home.
When Su Qingluan approached her yard, she could only vaguely hear a little noise in the yard - could it be that her younger brother or younger sister was being naughty again and made grandma angry?
Thinking like this, Su Qingluan couldn't help but speed up her steps.
But as I got closer, I realized that the atmosphere in the yard was more... panic?
And she seemed to hear the voices of Aunt Guixiang and Uncle Li next door?
Walking outside the yard, Su Qingluan discovered that there was nothing wrong with her ears—Sun Guixiang and Li Saner were really in their yard!
It's just that both adults and children in the yard have a sense of panic. What are everyone doing?
"Daddy, daddy! I saw it! There is one behind the corner - brother, please slow down and don't step on the seedlings that sister planted under the house!" Far away, you can hear your sister Su Xueyan's clear voice And a childish voice.
"I know! Don't bother me! I'll catch you soon!" Su Xuanhe's voice was just a little impatient.
"Er Zhuang, be careful, don't hit your Aunt Guixiang!" It was just Yang's voice that sounded a little worried.
Followed by Sun Guixiang's low voice, which should be harmless to listen to, after all, the smile in that voice was very obvious.
The voices of the two men were not heard much. Su Guangfu usually did carpentry work silently most of the time, which was not surprising to Su Qingluan. However, Li San'er, who always had a loud voice, was also like this, which made her a little curious.
Out of curiosity, Su Qingluan quickly walked into the yard, only to find that the entire family, plus two neighbors, were all lying outside the kitchen - except for Sun Guixiang, who was obviously pregnant because she couldn't squat down.
Su Qingluan's mouth twitched: "Excuse me, what are you...doing?" Are you practicing Toad Kung Fu? One by one, they were lying on the ground and jumping up and down, looking a little ruined.
Unexpectedly, no one seemed to pay much attention to her. Even the little girl who was most attached to her said without looking back: "Sister, don't say anything yet, we are busy!"
Su Qingluan:...? So what's going on?
Soon Su Qingluan knew why.
It turned out that because Sun Guixiang's daughter-in-law was pregnant, during this period of time, the Li family came to her whenever they had any delicious food.
Although Li Saner and Sun Guixiang lived a tight life, they were both big families at this time. If there were too many people in a family, there would always be one or two people who had a better life.
And we visit relatives during the New Year holidays and help each other out if there are any difficulties at home.
Since the Li family had not had any pregnant women for many years, anyone who had some friendship with her would send some gifts to Sun Guixiang to show their appreciation.
Some are children's "Baijiayi", some are small gadgets such as rattles and tiger head hats, and some people don't know if they are ancient chicken baby parents who actually gave their unborn children a set of enlightenment books.
Today, a relative brought six fresh river crabs, saying they were a great supplement. However, for the sake of the child in his wife's belly, Li Saner once ruthlessly hired Ping Anmai from Huichun Hall. The price was expensive, and the doctor in charge also gave a very detailed prenatal and postnatal care plan.
One thing is that crabs are cold in nature and should not be eaten when you are pregnant.
Unfortunately, this kind of river delicacy cannot be taken back intact, otherwise it will immediately stink.
His wife couldn't eat it and couldn't go back. When Li San'er didn't know what to do, his wife Sun Guixiang gave him a trick: "Isn't Qingluan from the Su family next door the best at tinkering with these foods? Maybe. That girl has a way to preserve the crabs?"
Li San'er, however, disagreed: "Isn't it not good to have such delicious food cooked deliciously but not share it with others?"
So the couple discussed it and simply brought these six crabs over. Except for Sun Guixiang, a pregnant woman who couldn't eat crabs, there was exactly one crab for each person, no more, no less.
As a result, the crabs that were originally placed in a large pot in the kitchen, while the two women were doing household chores in the yard, the man was studying how to build a fence in the backyard, and the two children were doing homework, all tried to escape from their loneliness. ".
When Su Qingluan heard this, she couldn't help but complain: In fact, talking about toxicity without dosage is just a joke, and as long as the food is in moderation, pregnant women can eat anything.
But she didn't say this.
After all, there is no cold chain transportation in this era, no anti-corrosion measures are known, let alone microorganisms causing gastrointestinal infections.
She was not sure how fresh the crab was. After all, the crab on the eve of death might have maintained a certain degree of activity.
However, the decay of river fresh food is so rapid that it begins even before the death of the animal occurs.
This is also why some crabs that are not fresh enough appear to be quite lively and "crawling" before being put into the pot. However, after they are cooked, if you open the back cover and smell them closely, you will smell something pungent. The smell of ammonia is evidence that the crabs are not fresh enough.
So she can't support her.
Pregnant women, even in modern times, suffer from various complications and even sequelae from pregnancy to the end of lactation, not to mention the ancient times when maternal and infant mortality rates were very alarming. When it comes to "birth" It is no exaggeration to say that both mother and son have stepped into the gate of hell.
So she must not say the sentence "It's nothing to eat a crab."
After all, now that Sun Guixiang has become pregnant, the physical burden is very heavy, and the Li family does not have the ability to have doctors like Huichun Hall constantly watching over her, so they must be even more careful.
After a period of chaos, the three crabs who "escaped" were finally "reunited" in the big basin. In order to prevent the crabs from making any more "rising up" actions, everyone looked at Su Qingluan in unison.
The meaning is obvious: How to make crab roe delicious next?
For some reason, Su Qingluan seemed to hear these people's silent questions.
Su Qingluan was a little dazed: "Crabs can be very delicious as long as they are steamed. Where is the need for extra cooking?" In front of crabs that are delicious enough, any seasoning, or even too high a temperature, will make the crab meat lose its flavor. It loses its original sweet taste and deprives the crab of its original deliciousness.
However, river crab does not have the obvious salty smell of sea crab. Because of this, river crab tastes fresher and sweeter, and it is easier for the seasoning to "overtake" the flavor.
However, everyone seems to be very dissatisfied with the most appropriate and simple cooking method of "steaming". Li Saner quickly said: "My family has also eaten the common method of steaming crab roe. It is delicious, but the taste is a bit bland."
The Su family doesn't have much obsession with "heavy flavors", especially the two young children, who are not suitable for eating river seafood that is too heavy.
It just so happened that Li San'er had brought these crabs over. The Su family couldn't just say "they don't like strong flavors" without permission, so they could only choose the cooking method according to the other party's taste.
Su Qingluan thought for a while: "I know a production method. Although the production method is not uncommon, the seasoning is my exclusive secret recipe. It's just..." Su Qingluan glanced at his brother and sister, "Children don't It’s better to eat.”
Being described like this, Sun Guixiang was a little curious: "What method?"
"Raw pickled crab." Su Qingluan said with a smile.
