Chapter 72 Dividing the Grapes

After six days of hard work, the courtyard finally looked like it was time to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

Actually, if it weren't for Deng Yin, this little thing could have been finished in two days.

Deng Yinzhu was so busy that if he couldn't finish his own work, he would make sure that others couldn't finish theirs either.

There has never been a custom of pasting paper fruits on paper during the New Year's Day celebrations, but Deng Yin was very satisfied with his finished product and specially pasted paper fruits on every possible place in the house.

She didn't just put up the stickers in her own room; she put them up in every single room.

Although Deng Yin had no achievements or talent in art, she knew the saying: slow and steady wins the race.

Every great work of art is the result of the sculpting of time.

To ensure the paper was fully infused with the aroma of fruit, Deng Yin stayed in the space for five consecutive days.

Deng Yin currently owns only a few kinds of fruit: watermelon, grapes, strawberries, and cantaloupe.

The cantaloupes ripened last month, and after harvesting them, Deng Yin planted watermelons on the same land. In summer, watermelons are definitely the best fruit to eat.

Watermelon is the easiest fruit to juice. Simply wrap the flesh in a cloth and press gently, and the watermelon juice will gush out like a fountain.

Similarly, cantaloupe is the most difficult fruit to juice; it not only has little juice but is also hard.

Fortunately, Deng Yin has a diffuser; just a few drops of juice are enough.

I soaked the paper in fruit juice for three days. The remaining two days were mainly spent waiting for the paper to dry.

Soaking it for a long time does have its benefits; when you close your eyes and smell the paper, it's easy to mistake it for real fruit.

Fruit juice paper is even more fragrant than the fruit itself.

Diffusers not only diffuse fragrance but also lock in the scent.

It can keep the fragrance going; even after a person dies, the scent will not dissipate.

Feifei has tried countless fragrances, but she has never smelled such a wonderful scent before.

Unlike fragrances created by adding a bunch of ingredients, the fragrance made by Deng Yin is 95% similar to the real thing.

The remaining five percent is a flavor that amplifies the aroma of the actual product several times over.

Feifei had smelled the incense made by Deng Yin before when they were in the basement, and it had amazed him then. This was the second time.

It's strange, someone's incense-making skills are so good, but their paper-cutting skills are...

Humans are indeed not perfect.

The time spent in space is not even a second in the real world.

In the real world, Deng Yin spends most of his time on paper cutting.

But she has three things she won't cut:

1. Don't cut your hair when you're tired.

The word "tired" is hard to define; everyone has a different opinion. In Deng Yin's view, finishing one cut is enough to make him tired.

Second, don't cut hair when someone is free.

Since there are other people available, why can't it be her?

Third, don't cut your hair when you don't want to.

This is easy to understand. Artists, after all, create art based on their mood. How can you create art when you're in a bad mood? If you can't create anything, then it's better not to cut at all.

Although the result was no gain, not cutting at least meant no effort was put in.

Rather than giving without receiving anything in return, it's better to address the root cause.

Deng Yin's artworks do indeed fill the entire room, but the word 'fill' has different definitions for different people.

Some people think that hanging it all over the room is what makes it "full".

Some people think that as long as there is space to hang it, it is considered full.

Since there's nowhere else to hang them, how can it not be considered full?

Deng Yin is clearly the latter.

In order to allow Deng Yin to fill all the rooms as soon as possible, the three of them were completely full.

Feifei was in charge of drawing, while Qiu Qingyu and Gao Ruizhe were in charge of paper cutting.

Sometimes, Feifei's drawing alone couldn't keep up with the two of them cutting, so Qiu Qingyu would switch roles and draw with him.

So rather than saying that Deng Yin's paper fruits filled the room, it's more accurate to say that the other three people's paper-cut window decorations filled the room.

This was the first time Feifei regretted her decision, regretting why she had tried to persuade her to stay.

This house is many times bigger than the previous one, and he never wants to paint window decorations again in his life.

To celebrate the completion of the renovation, Deng Yin specially brought out four baskets of grapes for dinner.

Previously, Wei Wujiang gave her a lot of food, but Deng Yin only kept some that she was interested in and gave the rest to others.

Grapes are a fruit that all of them love to eat.

Feifei is still a child after all. Her eyes lit up when she saw the grapes, and she quickly tasted one.

sweet!!!!

No child can resist sweets, and Feifei is no exception.

Seeing him stuff his cheeks full with one bite on each side, the other two couldn't resist the temptation either.

Qiu Qingyu and Gao Ruizhe were only beggars on the surface, but they were actually quite wealthy. They had eaten expensive fruits like grapes many times.

But this is the first time I've ever eaten grapes that taste this good.

Typical grapes are more acidic than sweet and have many seeds.

Most importantly, grape skins are very thick.

Otherwise, why would there be a tongue twister like "Eat grapes without spitting out the grape skins, or not eat grapes but spit out the grape skins"?

It's because the grape skins are too thick!

The grapes Deng introduced to them were purely sweet with no sourness, yet this did not affect their flavor at all. They were seedless, and most importantly, their skins were so thin that they broke with a single bite and were impossible to peel.

The grapes were so delicious that Deng Yin ended up eating most of the meal, while the other three were busy eating grapes.

When they were almost full, Qiu Qingyu asked Deng Yin, "I've never eaten such delicious grapes before. Where did you buy them?"

Deng Yin said mysteriously, "I didn't buy them, I grew them myself. I hired a few people to take care of them every day. They just ripened today, and they brought them to me."

"Did Miss plant these?" Gao Ruizhe didn't believe it. He had seen plenty of wealthy people like this; at most, she had touched the seeds. But despite his disbelief, he pretended to be very appreciative.

“No wonder, only someone as sweet as Miss could grow such sweet grapes.” Gao Ruizhe lowered his head, his ears turning bright red.

Qiu Qingyu rolled her eyes at Gao Ruizhe, and before Gao Ruizhe could retaliate, she moved her chair next to Deng Yin.

"You've been so busy giving them to us, my sister hasn't had any yet." With that, she picked up a grape and pretended to feed it to Deng Yin.

Deng Yin was full, but he still had room for a grape.

Gao Ruizhe looked at Qiu Qingyu with disdain. The grapes were given by Deng Yin, so how could she not have some?

Lackey!

After cursing that, he cursed Feifei in his mind again.

He looks so naive, like he's never seen the world before. A single grape has him completely bewitched, his mouth stuffed up like a mouse's.

Gao Ruizhe looked at Feifei's basket, which he had already eaten half of, and then looked at his own, which he hadn't eaten much of yet.

He wouldn't have eaten his own food and then come here to eat his, would he?

Gao Ruizhe no longer cared about competing with Qiu Qingyu for the girl, and joined Feifei in eating grapes.

If Deng Yin is sensible, spare her life and let her grow grapes every day!
