Translation of Six Chapters of a Floating Life

When I was a child, I could stare at everything in the sun and see everything clearly. have both pros and cons

We must carefully observe the texture of subtle things, so we often get interest from external things. At that time, there were many mosquitoes in summer nights.

Roaring like thunder, I often compare them privately to cranes flying in the sky. Because the heart has a purpose, I look at them expectantly.

If you can see thousands of cranes. Looking up for a long time, my neck is stiff. Later, I raised mosquitoes.

In the mosquito net, slowly spray smoke on them, let them fly and collide in the smoke, and ride into a white crane in Qingyun.

Scenery. They really look like cranes in the clouds, which makes people happy after seeing them.

In the concave-convex part of the earth wall or the weeds in the flower bed, I often squat down to the height of the steps and observe carefully:

Think of grass as a forest, small ants as beasts, bumps of rubble as hills, and depressions as.

Gully. Wandering in the microscopic scene, I am relaxed and complacent. One day, I saw two bugs fighting in the grass.

I am interested in it. Suddenly, a monster came down from the mountain and fell from the tree. When I looked carefully, it turned out to be a toad.

The tongue stuck out and swallowed both bugs. As I am still young, I can't help screaming in a trance.

But exclaim. When I look stable, I'll catch toad and whip it dozens of times.

Then drive it to another yard. Later, when I was old, I thought about it and felt that the two were small.

Insects fight with each other, mostly because one side is greedy for money and adultery, and the other side is disobedient. As the saying goes, "rape almost killed people",

In other words, adultery is bound to be close to death. Are small insects like this?

Later, I was greedy for this kind of life fun, so I gave my little XX a little suck, but it didn't swell up.

Can urinate. The duck is kept for it to suck. As soon as the old maid lets go, the duck flutters and jumps.

I swallowed my neck and made me cry for a while. Since then, it has been handed down as a joke. These things are all

Just some idle things that happened when I was young!

When I grow up, I have developed a love for flowers, and I like pruning bonsai flowers and trees. Know a man named Zhang Lanpo

A friend learned the skill of "pruning to protect the festival" from him, and slowly groped for it himself, and began to master the "folding stone"

Bonsai skills.

Among the flowers and plants, I like orchids best, and its delicate fragrance is incomparable. But orchids are also divided into varieties, that kind of petal products.

The fragrance is a little inflow, which is very rare. When Lanpo died, she gave me a very precious lotus petal.

Ian. The leaves are flat and stretched, the stems are thin, and the petals are clean enough to be written in the flower spectrum. I love you very much, Jane.

Such as arched walls. Later, I was ordered to be an attendant in other places. Yun personally irrigated and took good care of it, making it full of flowers and vitality.

Unexpectedly, it suddenly withered and died within two years. I uprooted it to see what happened, but

Just to see that there are no signs of rotten roots, and some new buds are ready to grow. At first, I was confused.

I don't know why, I thought it was because I didn't have the blessing to digest this top-grade orchid, and I cried. Later I learned that it turned out that

Later, someone asked Lamper for it, but Lamper didn't give it to him. He was jealous and burned it to death with boiling water.

What a waste of time! I swore on the spot that I would never plant orchids again.

So I changed azaleas for fun. Although azaleas have a general fragrance, they are attractive in color and easy to cut.

Jing Cheng. However, Yun pitied the branches and leaves and couldn't bear to cut them off, so it was difficult to cultivate good potted plants and had to let nature take its course.

Natural growth, occasional minor repairs. The same is true of other bonsai, and try to form naturally with it.

Although Yunyun is reluctant to cut pots and prunes, every year when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, we will have a great autumn to pick them.

Chrysanthemums are put in bottles to amuse themselves. I don't like to enjoy them as bonsai. Weng Tao didn't have the poem "picking chrysanthemums".

"Under? But unfortunately, there is no garden at home and I can't grow it myself. It's also on the market. It's plugged in.

But most of them are inserted randomly, which is not very desirable.

Personally, I think chrysanthemums are more suitable for inserting singular than even numbers. Only one variety is inserted in each bottle.

The color, vase and bottle mouth should be large, not narrow. Because if the bottle

If the bottle mouth is wide, the flowers can be stretched out. According to the size of the bottle mouth, five, seven or even thirty or forty flowers can be inserted.

And there should be a cluster in each bottle to highlight the flower meaning of this bottle. The distance between flowers should be appropriate, not too much.

It is not good to be sloppy or too compact, and it is not appropriate to be too close to the bottle mouth. This is called "tightening the handle".

Flower arrangement can highlight the graceful, quiet and elegant flowers; You can fly around and highlight flowers.

All kinds of vivid gestures depend on personal imagination. In short, don't put the flowers too neatly, try to wear them.

It's going badly. Put a suitable flower stand in the flower to fix the shape to prevent the flower branches from sliding or tilting.

The choice of flowers is also very particular, the leaves are not messy, the pedicels are not too hard, and it is easier to fix them with needles. If the needle

If it's too long, I'd rather break a piece than let the needle show the pedicel, which is ugly. This is the so-called "bottle mouth"

A clear ". When placing it, it should be placed according to the size pattern of the table. Usually one to three bottles are placed on the desk and coffee table.

Check, there are at most one to seven bottles on the shelf. Too many bottles will be confusing and unclear, just like in the market.

As tacky as those sold online, put several bottles of flower arrangement together, and be careful not to put them on the same horizontal line.

The height difference is three or four inches to two feet five or six inches. Try to pay attention to the uneven placement of the vase. one

At first glance, it can combine the different tastes of each bottle and do the best. If you put it high in the middle and low on both sides,

Or the back is high, and the front row and the bottom are lined up or symmetrical, which is the taboo of "brocade ash pile".

Of course, when placing, it depends on whether everyone's roots are compact or sparse, where they are placed in front and where they are placed behind.

According to the different artistic conception of flower arrangement, I drew freehand brushwork.

If you use shallow utensils such as pots, bowls and plates instead of vases, you can use bleached green, rosin,

Oil the surface of elm bark and add rice ash to make the harvest gelatinous. Nail a medium-length nail on the copper sheet with the nail tip facing.

On the table, spread the boiled glue on the back of the copper sheet and stick it on the basin, bowl or plate. After the glue cools, nail the copper.

The tablet is fixed at the bottom of the basin. Then tie up the flowers with iron wire and put them on the nails. Do not insert it too vertically,

It's better to insert it askew, which is more natural. Don't stick it in the middle of the basin, it's too abrupt. The branches and leaves of flowers should be

Trim it clean, not too crowded and messy. The branches in Qing Ye should be sparse. After insertion, fill the basin with clear water and add flour.

Just cover the copper sheet with sand.

In this way, this pot of flower arrangement seems to grow naturally from the fine sand and clear water in the bowl.

If the flower arranger chooses flowers and fruits with obvious branches as the materials for inserting bottles, it depends on the pruning and leaf cutting of the flower arranger.

Skill. Don't fold it up and put it in the bottle when you see something nice. Many of them grow on trees. They look beautiful and can climb.

Not suitable for inserting bottles). Choose a branch, hold it in your hand first, and look sideways.

Look at its charm, then look at its rhyme from the side. Only through such observation can we choose a good bottle inserting material.

After selecting the materials, cut off the miscellaneous branches with scissors, which can highlight its original temperament and look thin and chic.

Top grade and then consider how to put it in a bottle and insert it according to the appearance of flowers and leaves, either bending or twisting.

In the bottle, you can avoid the situation that the leaves are facing the back and the flowers and fruits are too close to the side. If you just take one instead of taking care of it.

Just put it directly in the vase, it must be messy branches and leaves, and the side leaves of the flower are back, so it can't highlight its original shape.

State, also can't show its charm.

Of course, there are also some skills in "bending the stem to play music": sawing the stem of the branch in half and using small stones.

If you put it inside, the original straight branches will become bent. If you are afraid that the branch will break because it can't bear the load, you can knock it.

Two small nails are fixed. In this case, maple leaves, bamboo branches and grass thorns can all be the main materials in flower arrangement.

Used it.

Sometimes, choose a bamboo pole and stick scattered red wolfberry on the branches and leaves; Or pick some dogs.

The tail grass with two thorns is quite interesting if it is placed properly.

If flowers and trees are planted for bonsai viewing. You might as well plant it obliquely from the beginning and let it grow horizontally in the pot.

After careful irrigation, its branches and leaves will automatically grow directly on it, and naturally grow into a winding shape after one year.

If every plant is cultivated straight, it is difficult to have any unique posture.

Every bonsai needs to be pruned according to its original natural rhyme to stand out more.

Its posture. The real landscape, but also need to be trimmed, generally choose the root is already very long and fat.

Large, chicken-claw potted plants appear. First of all, according to the knot on its original trunk, it is divided into left, middle and right repairs.

It is divided into three parts and outlines a general framework. The nodes on the trunk are called "big nodes", and so are the nodes on the branches.

As a "bar"). Then prune the branches respectively, and remove the messy branches and leaves respectively, with the most on each "big node"

Leaving seven or nine "bars".

The most taboo thing about the trunk is that the cross section is trimmed as neatly as a person's shoulders, which is too symmetrical and looks like it.

This is unnatural; The cross section is too bloated, like the protruding knees on the thin legs of cranes and birds, too abrupt.

The striking best tendrils are stretched and spiraled upwards. So when trimming, remember not to stand out too much.

On the left and right sides, don't let the branches and leaves protrude directly from the front and back sides, so it won't look shirtless and there is nothing subtle.

Well-known bonsai are generally trimmed with "double" and "three" (that is, two or three points on a tree

).

If the roots of potted plants are not prominent, they are buried straight in the soil and look like branches inserted in flowerpots.

Nor is it desirable.

If the branches left behind hover like pagodas and the roots bend like earthworms, it can definitely be called

Exquisite workmanship and exquisite craftsmanship. However, a good bonsai, from cultivation to pruning, needs at least flowers.

It takes 30 or 40 years to take care of it, and fine products are rare. So I went to look for it, only once in my life.

Twice; Once I met an old man named Wan, who was my hometown. He spent his whole life cutting down several trees.

Top trees; Another time, I heard him talking at a businessman's house in Yangzhou, and a friend of Yushan went to visit him.

When I visited at home, I brought a pot of excellent boxwood and cypress, and I was quite proud of my words. Unfortunately, casting pearls before swine,

The businessman didn't want to pay me, so I had to secretly yearn for it.

There are also some exquisite flower stones dotted with bonsai. Simple embellishment is pleasing to the eye. If it is suitable for potted plants

The form of embellishment makes the rocks blend into the flowers and fruits, which can make people linger. Holding a bowl of green tea.

Look at the tea, fascinated, and turn it into a fairy playing chess on the rocks under the tree. This is in line with seclusion.

What is the reward standard for leisure in the elegant room?

Before planting daffodils, there is always no good stone to decorate. Later, I thought of a way to try to use them in stone-like shapes.

The unique shape of the head and charcoal is replaced; Then push the bean sprouts out of the outer layer, revealing the white vegetable core.

Six or seven branches are inserted in a rectangular basin, sand is buried, and charcoal is used instead of stone. The color is rich in black and white.

Fun. Self-creation, endless fun, and so on, I have thought of many ways, and it is difficult to list them here.

Once I saw the seeds of Acorus gramineus (a kind of moss) on the rocks by the stream, and sprayed them with cold rice soup and Acorus gramineus seeds.

Put it on charcoal, then put it in a cool and humid place, and soon the charcoal will grow into clumps of Acorus gramineus.

Put this charcoal in a basin or bowl. It is green and lovely.

Also, take some old lotus seeds and grind both ends thin. Embedded in raw eggs, put them in chicken nests for hens to hatch.

Wait until all the eggs in the same nest have hatched before taking them out. A few years ago, when swallows built their nests on the beams, they used them again.

Add a little asparagus (Liliaceae, its roots are rich in organic matter) to the soil, dig it out, mix it evenly, and put it into a small volume.

In the container, plant some germinated lotus seeds, irrigate them with river water every day, and let them bask in the sun in the morning. Danglianhua

When in full bloom, flowers are the size of wine glasses, while lotus leaves shrink into bowl sizes, slender and mini-sized.

People.

Let's talk about the layout of gardens and pavilions, and the scenery in cloisters. Generally, piled stones are used as rockeries to grow flowers and plants.

Take its life. See the scenery in the mountains and rivers, see the mountains and rivers in the mountains and rivers; It seems that there are no scenes but real scenes, and there is truth in the virtual and truth in the real.

It also depicts a virtual landscape that is virtual in reality. Decoration is either obvious or hidden, or bright or light.

Quiet, this is not "repeated twists and turns" can be included. The quality of the landscape does not lie in the vast land, numerous stones and works.

How much will it cost? You can simply dig up the ground, pile the earth into mountains, put some unique big stones and plant flowers and plants in them.

When plum trees are used as fences and vines are full of walls, there can be no mountains, only mountain scenery.

If you want to see the scenery in the landscape, you can plant bamboo that is easy to grow in a wider place.

Can screen more lush plum trees; If you want to see the scenery in the landscape, the wall of the yard, you'd better do this.

Uneven, painted with green pigment, planted vines on it, let the vines droop naturally, and then climb the wall.

Embedded in a big stone, carved on the stone as a monument, open the window and see the wall, just like facing a steep.

Like a steep mountain, steep atmosphere; There is truth in the void: it's not that the corner looks like the scenery is exhausted.

A corner is another scene. Is to set up a back door in the porch pavilion, which can lead to another hospital; Free in reality: in

In the back door of a room that doesn't pass other yards, plant bamboo and put a rockery, which makes people feel that there is a garden at the back door.

Or put the short column on the wall, there seems to be a platform on it. This is so-called "virtual reality".

Generally, poor people have fewer houses and more people, and their living environment is crowded. We can borrow a house that imitates the back cabin of the Taiping ship in our hometown.

Decoration,

Make the terrace into a bed (similar to the windowsill of many commercial houses now, people can sit and lie on it), front and back.

Borrowed together, you can form three couches, separated by wooden boards and pasted with white paper, which are coherent and smooth from top to bottom and have more rooms.

Add spaciousness.

Yun once said with a smile: "Although the location is exquisite, it is not the atmosphere of a rich family after all!" I

I thought so, too. Later, when I went to the mountain to sweep the grave, I picked up some beautiful small stones with mountain textures.

When I came back to discuss with Yun, I said, "Stick Xuanzhou stone with putty and pile it in a stone basin to make bonsai, mainly depending on its color."

Uniform; Although this yellow rock is simple, it looks yellow and white when glued with putty, and it is cut out.

What do you think should be done? "

The cloud said, "Choose stubborn stones and pound them into powder, put them on the traces of putty, and mix them in the wet."

Together, it may be the same color as the stone after drying. "I will depend on her and grow up with Yixing.

A small mountain peak is stacked in a square mud basin, leaning to the left and protruding to the right; The back has a transverse texture,

It seems that the rocks painted by Ni Zan, a painter in the Yuan Dynasty, are bold and unconstrained in style, just like the shape of rocky mountains along the river; Deficiency stagnation in basin

In the corner, small duckweeds are planted with river mud. Lion grass is planted on stones, commonly known as Yun Song. A few days later

I worked hard and finally succeeded. In late autumn, Yun Song is everywhere, like vines hanging on the stone wall; Huakaihong

Color, Bai Ping also surfaced, red and white, wandering among them, just like boarding Penglai Xiange. I put it in.

Under the eaves, with the cloud * * *, enjoy the taste: it should be set here and there; This place should be chiseled out

Six words "water", a place to live; You can fish here, and you can climb high and overlook there.

The hills and gullies in my chest seem to have moved to my home! One night, two kittens were fighting for food.

When they fell from the eaves, the bonsai and potted frame were smashed to pieces in an instant. I sighed and said, "That's enough."

Do small crafts also violate the taboo of the creator of heaven? "

Burning incense in a quiet room has a unique taste in leisure. Non-success tried agarwood, steamed it in a pot and put it on the stove.

A copper wire rack, half an inch away from the flame, slowly baked, quiet and smokeless. Bergamot fruit is the most taboo to use after drunkenness.

Smell your nose, it will rot; Papaya is most taboo to touch with sweaty hands. If you touch it, rinse it with clean water. only

Sweet and round fruit is not taboo. The methods of offering bergamot and papaya are also exquisite, so it is impossible to make it clear with pen and ink here. earlier times

People often take offerings to smell them, so that they can be placed conveniently, because they don't know how to offer them.

My bedroom is very relaxed, and there are many flowers on my desk. Yun said, "This kind of flower arrangement can show that flowers are in the wind and rain."

The postures are fascinating. However, there are also ways in which plants and insects get along. you

Why not follow suit? "I said," little insects are wandering around. How can we imitate them? " Yun Tian said, "I have an idea.

I'm afraid it's the first thing that leads to sin! "I said," give it a try. "The cloud said," Small insects don't change color when they die.

Find mantis, butterfly and so on, stab them to death, tie their necks with thin lines between flowers and plants, and then sort them out.

Wouldn't it be better to put your feet on the pedicel or step on the leaves, just like living bugs? "I

I'm glad I tried it according to her method, and everyone who came to see it was full of praise. This is what I want from my hostess.

Meaning, now I'm afraid there may not be such a understanding person!

I live at home with Yun. At that time, Mrs. Hua asked her two daughters to learn to read from Yun. Li Zhe town

In summer, Yun lives in a spacious and sunny place. She teaches her family to make a "living screen". The method is wonderful: every screen is long.

About four or five inches of wooden tips, made into a short bench style and put them in; Four are about a foot wide.

Root block, four corners are cut into round holes, and square holes are inserted with bamboo; The screen is six or seven feet high and can be moved.

Then plant lentils in a sand basin and put them under the screen so that they can climb up. If you weave more barriers and block them at will,

It is like a window full of shade, which is full of twists and turns and can be replaced at any time, so it is called "living screen". have

In this way, all vines and herbs can be used anywhere, which is really an excellent rural lifestyle.

Fa!

My friend Lu Banfang, surnamed Zhang and named Chunshan, is good at painting pines, cypresses and plums, writing official scripts and sealing.

We lived in his building in Xiao Shuang for a year and a half. There are five rooms in the east of this floor, and we live in the third room.

Rain or shine, you can overlook it. A osmanthus tree in the courtyard, fragrant and sultry; There are corridors and wings, very

Quiet. When I moved here, I brought a servant, an old woman and a girl. Servants can make clothes, old woman.

I can spin, so I rely on embroidery, servants to make clothes, and old women to spin. I have always been hospitable, and I always drink.

Wine order. Yun is good at entertainment and spares no effort in cooking and cooking. Once the fruits, vegetables, fish and shrimp reach her, she will cook them.

Don't have flavor. My friends know that I am poor, and always pay for drinks to come and talk for a day. I

I like neatness, there is no dust on the ground, I am free and not too indulgent. At that time, I had a friend Yang Bufan and Ming Chang.

Xu, good at portraits; Yuan Shao is pedantic, famous and good at painting landscapes; Wang Xinglan, a famous rock, is good at painting flowers and birds.

They like Xiao Shuang Lu's elegance very much, so they all brought painting tools, and I used them to learn painting. Write Cao zhuan,

Selling money by carving seals, plus the cost of using pens for polishing, all prepared tea, wine and vegetables for Yun, and recited poems and painted all day long.

There are Xia Danan and Xia Yishan, Miao and Miao, and Jiang Yunxiang and Lu.

Zhou, Guo, Hua and Zhang Xianhan are equal gentlemen, just like Liang. Yun Ze

Because I had no money, I pulled the hair clasp to sell wine, but I didn't show my face or let go of my beautiful scenery. -In retrospect, my friend.

Friends are far away, the wind has gone, Yun has passed away, and jade has been buried. Looking back is really unbearable!

There are four taboos in Xiao Shuang Building: first, avoid talking about official promotion, second, avoid talking about official affairs, and third, avoid talking about eight-part essay.

Four bogey cards and dice gambling. Violators must be fined five catties. There are also four choices: one is generosity and the other is generosity.

Romantic and chic, three unrestrained, four quiet and silent. There is nothing to do in the long summer, and the exam dialogue is assembled; Every meeting

It takes eight people, 200 coppers each. Draw lots first, and the person who wins the first place is the examiner, sitting next to invigilate the papers.

Son; As a recorder, the person who won the second place was also seated. The rest are candidates. Take one from the tape recorder.

A piece of paper with a seal on it. The examiner gave five words and seven words each, and the time for burning incense was limited; Allow rhythmic thoughts,

Don't whisper. Register and put it in the box, then sit down. Every time the paper is handed in, the recorder will type it out.

Open the box, combine the papers and give them to the examiner to prevent favoritism. Draw five sentences from sixteen dialogues,

Seven words and three sentences. The first place in the six leagues is the next alternate examiner, and the second place is the next one.

Recorder. Anyone who fails to hire two couplets will be fined 20, and those who hire one will be fined 10.

Double punishment for exceeding the time limit for answering questions. After a game, the examiner can get more than one hundred pence. You can take more than ten exams a day.

Tired of thousands of pence, because the money for drinks is already quite rich and sufficient. Only to discuss care, let non-success son when "officials.

"Brothers take the formal examination paper, not quota, only allowed to sit next to the idea.

Yang Bufan drew a small portrait of my husband and wife wearing flowers, with a vivid expression. The moonlight is beautiful at night, blue shadow.

It's not elegant to shine on the powder wall. Wang Xinglan germinated after getting drunk and said, "Yang Bufan can take a picture of you, me."

I can draw pictures for you. "I smiled and said," Can a flower shadow be like a figure? " Wang Xinglan hangs white paper on the wall.

The blue shadow in front will be tinted with ink. Take it out during the day. Although it is not a picture, it draws Xiao Ye.

Sparse, under the moon has its own interest. The cloud regards this as a treasure, and everyone writes poems on it.

Suzhou City has South Park and North Park. When rape blossoms, we will play and get together. Suffering from the lack of wine nearby.

At home, I have to carry a food box with me. It's boring to spend cold drinks. Someone talked about going to the neighborhood to find drinks.

In some places, it is suggested to come back to drink after seeing the flowers, but everyone thinks it is better to drink while it is hot. everybody

When the discussion was undecided, Yun said with a smile, "As long as we pay for the drinks separately tomorrow, I will bring a fire."

Everyone laughed and said, "Yes!"

After my friend left, I asked, "Did you really start the fire yourself?" Yun said, "No, I saw it.

There are wonton sellers in the market. They all carry pots, bowls and stoves, all of which are complete. Why don't we hire them?

I will prepare the cooked dishes first, and then cook them in the rape field, so that I can have tea and eat at the table while it is hot.

Is everything convenient? "I said," it's convenient to eat and drink, but there is no tool for making tea! "

"Take a casserole and string it on the handle with an iron fork," said the cloud. "Take the casserole and hang it on the stove to add firewood."

Is it inconvenient to fry tea? "I applaud.

There is a man named Bao on the street who sells wonton for a living. We hired him with 100 yuan and agreed to arrive tomorrow afternoon.

Meet the rape field, and the surname Bao agreed. The next day, all the flower watchers were here, and I told him the reason.

Ladies and gentlemen, everyone expressed their admiration. * * * After the meal, take the cushion and sit beside Liu Yin in the South Park.

Make tea first, drink it, and then boil it with warm wine. At that time, the weather was fine and the rape flowers were golden everywhere.

Blue and red, walking on the path between fields; Flying bees and butterflies make people drunk and don't drink. Then the wine and vegetables are cooked, everyone.

He sat down to chew. In an instant, the cups and plates are in a mess, and you are all in a state of Tao Ran, sitting or lying down, singing or blowing. red

When the sun is going down, I want to eat porridge again. Bao went to buy rice and cook at once and didn't go back until he was full. At this moment,

The cloud asked everyone, "Are you all happy today?" Everyone said, "If you don't have your wife's advice today,

You can't achieve this happy effect! "Afterwards, everyone dispersed with a smile.

Poor people's daily necessities, as well as household utensils, are suitable for frugality and elegance, which is the so-called "doing things"

In matters. "I prefer small drinks to more dishes. Yun arranged a plum blossom box for me: two.

Six white porcelain dishes, one in the middle and five outside. Plum blossom box is painted in a plum blossom shape.

There is a concave edge at the bottom and a handle like a flower pedicle on the cover. Put it on the desk like a plum blossom on it. Open it again.

You see, the dishes in it are six colors, which seem to be placed in petals, and two or three confidants can eat them at will.

Add one more thing. In addition, make a short disk to put cups, chopsticks and hip flask, which is also very square to move and tidy up.

Conveniently speaking, this is an aspect of the food economy.

My hat and socks are all made by Yun himself. When the clothes were torn, she also moved east and west to mend them, which was bound to require rectification.

Jay. The color of the cloth is dull to avoid traces of dirt. You can go out as a guest and stay at home for a day.

Wear it often, which is another aspect of saving clothes.

When I first arrived at Xiao Shuang Building, I thought it was too dark, so I pasted it on the wall with white paper, which made it bright. Arrive in summer

When I got downstairs, I felt empty when I saw that there was no railing on the window. "There is an old bamboo curtain," said the cloud. Why not use it? "

Replace the railing? "I asked," in what way? "Take some bamboo, one vertical and one horizontal, and smoke it black," said the cloud. .

Move aside; Cut off the half curtain and put it on the horizontal bamboo pole, hanging it flush with the desktop; Four short bamboo poles are erected in the middle,

Tie it tightly with hemp rope; Then at the place where the semi-curtain crosses the bamboo pole, find black cloth strips and Lian Heng bamboo poles, wrap them together and sew them up, so that not only

You can hide the decoration without wasting money! "This is one of our' practical' methods!

When the lotus blooms for the first time in summer, they all sprout at night and bloom at dawn. You can wrap a little tea in a small gauze.

Put it in the lotus seed. Take out the tea leaves the next morning and make tea with natural spring water (rainwater).

The smell is really great!
