Chapter 174: Rice Paper
After drying, slice it into large sheets as thin as paper and you can use it.
The dried tongcao core is hard and brittle, and it breaks easily. The tongcao core as thick as a thumb is not easy to slice.
It is very difficult to make it thin and unbroken, at least Suihe cannot do it now.
There were many different thicknesses of tongcao cores falling at Suihe's feet, some were too thick, and some were broken.
"Why is this thing so difficult?" Sui He sat in the yard, rubbing his sore neck. The first step in making Tongcao flowers is to cut a piece of paper.
Moreover, she didn't have a utility knife. The sharpest weapon she had was the dagger given by General Cui. However, the dagger was too sharp. If it was slightly tilted, the whole stem would break.
Sui He reluctantly put down the dagger in his hand, looking at the tongcao core that had been broken into several sections. He was a little speechless. It was broken, so what? The thickness was uneven. If the thickness was even, some small petals could be used.
There was no choice but to continue. He carefully cut a small incision with the dagger, then slowly went deeper along the crack, cutting bit by bit.
"Is Aunt Chen home?" Aunt He walked in from outside.
"Aunt He, my grandma is not here. She went out." Sui He heard someone coming and turned around. The thing in his hand broke again. Sui He was disappointed and dropped the thing in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Aunt He saw Sui He's dejected look and walked to the stone table. She looked at the mess on the table and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the core of tongcao. I'm trying to figure out how to make it into paper. It's too difficult." Sui He replied dejectedly. This seemed to be the first time she found something difficult.
"What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just a piece of paper?" Aunt He picked up a piece of tongcao core and squeezed it gently. After feeling the hardness, she put it on the table, covered it with one hand, and picked up the dagger on the table with the other hand.
With a whoosh, the dagger slashed through the air, and the hand covering the tongcao core was wiped back, and the other hand followed, and a piece of tongcao paper as thin as paper was completed: "Take a look, is this what you want?"
Aunt He handed the piece of rice paper to Sui He. Sui He sat up and took the rice paper and looked at it. It was indeed as thin as paper, and the whole piece of paper was evenly thick and not damaged.
It's a complete piece of paper.
"Aunt He, how did you do that?" Sui He carefully examined the paper.
"What's so difficult about this?" Aunt He said with a smile, "We should treat it like an enemy, quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. The timid look you showed just now will definitely not work."
"And your dagger is sharp. If you use some skill, it will be easy to slice it." Aunt He said while demonstrating to Sui He.
The tongcao cores were as obedient as grandchildren in Aunt He's hands. Soon there were several pieces of paper on the table.
Sui He sat beside her and watched carefully, imitating Aunt He's technique, moving his hands back and forth.
"You try it." Aunt He handed the dagger in her hand to Sui He: "Just use the method I just taught you."
"Okay." Sui He took the dagger and imitated Aunt He's method to deal with the tongcao core. At the beginning, before he got used to it, he used too much force and the tongcao core rolled out before the dagger even touched it.
"It's okay, come again." Aunt He picked up the fallen tongcao core and placed it in front of Suihe.
Sui He took a deep breath, and this time he was a step slower. With one cut, the tongcao core broke in the middle, breaking into two sections.
"The strength of both hands should be consistent, then try again"
"There is progress, but we need to slow down and try again."
"Hold steady, come again"
"..."
"What are you doing?" Aunt Lin heard the noise and came in: "I heard you talking outside"
"Aunt Lin, why are you here?" Sui He looked at Aunt Lin as she walked in and said, "Sister Zhou should be giving birth soon."
"I was passing by and came to see what was happening when I heard the noise." Aunt Lin walked up to the two of them and said, "She's almost there, probably in the next few days."
"This is tongcao, right?" Aunt Lin picked up the scattered tongcao on the ground and said, "Why is it cut like this? What a waste!"
"This is tongcao. I cut it into this shape with some other things." Sui He smiled embarrassedly, gathered up the tongcao paper on the table and put it aside.
"Suihe, don't you want the papers on the floor anymore?" Aunt Lin asked after seeing Suihe sorted out some papers and ignored the papers on the floor.
"Those are all scraps, we don't want them anymore." Sui He looked down at the broken pieces on the ground.
"Can you give it to me? Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, and I'm worried about where to find this thing. Since you don't want it, why don't you give it to me?" Aunt Lin heard that Sui He didn't want it and immediately picked it up from the ground.
"Aunt Lin, don't pick up the ones on the floor. Pick up the ones on the table. Even though they look a little ugly, the effect is the same." Sui He nodded. When she started to film, she wasted a lot of them. The ones on the table and the floor were all
"It's not a problem, and it's not dirty. You can wash it when you get home." Aunt Lin quickly picked up all the dirt on the floor and the table.
"Let me help you." Aunt He also helped pick up the trash.
Sui He ignored them and concentrated on handling the things in her hands. She couldn't move as fast and well as Aunt He. She could only maintain a certain strength and slice steadily, which slowed down her speed.
With Aunt He's guidance, Sui He made rapid progress and finally succeeded in filming a picture.
Although the thickness is consistent, it is a pity that the integrity is not enough, and there is a large piece missing in the middle. At least it can be used.
Sui He exhaled a breath. As long as the most difficult piece of paper was taken out, the rest would be much easier.
"It's OK. It can be used." Aunt He picked up the rice paper that Suihe had just cut and checked it.
After hearing that it was okay, Sui He breathed a sigh of relief. Why did she always feel that Aunt He was so strict? Although she spoke gently, she felt a chill on her back with every word, especially when she came again.
"Why did you slice the tongcao like this?" Aunt Lin came over and took a look: "Does it have better medicinal effects if it's sliced like this?"
"I don't use it to eat, I use it to make other things." Sui He lowered his head and continued to process the tongcao core in his hand.
"Well, okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first. Thank you for the tongcao." Aunt Lin didn't understand either. Seeing that Sui He was busy, she didn't bother him. After saying hello to Sui He, she went back with the tongcao pieces in her hand: "Aunt He, you take your time. I'll go back first."
"Okay," Aunt He turned around and responded, then continued to instruct Sui He.
When Sui He finally succeeded in making a complete piece of rice paper, all the rice paper cores she had prepared were gone.
With so many Tongcao cores, only a dozen pieces were made. It was too much waste. It was also because she was not good at it that she wasted so much. If she was more skilled, she would not waste it.
He put the rice paper in his hand in order and said, "Thank you so much today, Aunt He. If you hadn't taught me the technique, I would have wasted it all and not been able to make it."
"Don't be polite, it's just a small thing. It's very simple once you get used to it." Aunt He waved her hand nonchalantly.
"By the way, Aunt He, what do you want to talk to my grandma about?" Sui He was so focused on the tongcao core in his hand that he forgot that Aunt He was here to see her grandma.
"I have nothing to do, so I came to chat with your grandma." Aunt He was still gentle and kind, with a smile on her face.
