Chapter 499 Peace Talisman
Therefore, Xia Mingyue and others did not know about An Leiting, but they heard about Jin Weiguo gathering troops and intending to start another war.
Judging from the various information obtained from others, combined with the fact that he had not received any letters from Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji recently, Xia Mingyue guessed that the war situation was probably very dangerous.
Xia Mingyue was very worried because of this, but she had no other solution. Apart from praying silently to God every night before going to bed, she took Lu and went to the Chenghuang Temple to pray for Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue. Yunji, Zhao Youcai and others prayed for safety.
Also because of the impending war, in Jinqiu County and nearby villages and towns, anyone whose family members are in the military would go to the Chenghuang Temple to pray for their family members who are in the military and may be in danger at any time. Peace Talisman.
As a result, the Chenghuang Temple was bustling with people.
Miao Zhu obviously knows why the temple has been busy in recent times. In order to allow everyone to get the peace charm, he also mobilized the entire temple to work day and night to make more peace charms so that everyone can get peace charms. People can successfully obtain the peace charm, so they feel at ease.
But due to the rush of time, the production of this peace charm is naturally not as exquisite as before.
Miao Zhu felt quite ashamed because of this, but he couldn't help but emphasize that after making these peace talismans, they were placed in front of the City God, and they received the same blessings from the City God.
Everyone comes here to pray for blessings. As long as they can get the blessing of the City God, no matter what the peace charm looks like, even if it is a piece of white paper or a leaf, it must be cherished.
No one was dissatisfied with this, but Miao Zhu felt a little regretful about it. He just felt that the work was not good enough, and wanted to find more people to help make the peace talisman. If there were sufficient manpower, the peace talisman would naturally be made. A little more refined.
But the world is difficult, and many people still focus on making a living. Even if some people want to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, their energy is limited, so the results are not high.
Furthermore, the production of this peace talisman also requires people with dexterity and dexterity. The required threshold and conditions make the number of candidates available very small.
Miao Zhu frowned because of this.
This appearance also made Xia Mingyue and Lu feel serious.
After a blessing, Xia Mingyue asked, "Why is Miao Zhu so sad, but is there any shortage of food in the next few days?"
"Mrs. Xia." Miao Zhu returned the gift to Xia Mingyue and said, "Lou The chef's cooking skills are exquisite, and only because of Lady Xia's cooking skills, Lady Xia specifically allows him to come back to take care of the meals in the Chenghuang Temple on the fifteenth day, so there is no difficulty in the meals."
" But now..."
When Miao Zhu faced Xia Mingyue, he did not hide anything, and only made it clear to Xia Mingyue the difficulties he was facing at this time.
I need to make a peace charm...
Xia Mingyue said without any hesitation, "In that case, how about we come to help?"
Hearing this, Lu quickly agreed, "Yes, let's help too."
The purpose of praying for peace talisman is to pray for the safety of your family, so using this as a peace talisman to accumulate virtues and blessings will make it easier for God to perceive you.
My loved ones are fighting outside, and the dangers are unpredictable. There is only a limit to what they can do. They help the Chenghuang Temple to make some peace charms, pray for their families, give themselves peace of mind, and distribute blessings to all those in need.
It is obligatory to accumulate virtue and blessing in this way. Xia Mingyue and Lu are both capable and meticulous people, so making peace talismans is not a problem. However, Miao Zhu also knows that Xia Ji has a lot of business, and Xia Mingyue also has a vinegar brewing workshop to take care of. If this matter is added to ……
"Ms. Xia is always busy. I'm afraid these things will make her even more tired..." Miao Zhu felt uneasy.
"It doesn't matter, there are stewards taking care of everything. What I do is just go there from time to time to take a look and give some advice."
Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "And my family There are two maids among them, who are quite good at needlework and can be of some help."
Seeing Xia Mingyue's persistence, she thought again. He was probably very worried about Commander Lu and wanted to pray for him. Temple Zhu agreed, "Thank you so much, Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Lu, and please come with me to get the materials for making peace talismans."
Peace Talismans are originally meant to express thoughts and have no fixed style. Therefore, Peace Talismans are not the same everywhere, and even the materials are different.
The peace talisman here is made of cotton, regardless of color, and is cut into a fixed size. The two pieces of cloth are embroidered with the words "peace" and "ruyi" respectively, and then put together. The edges are sewn with thread, and then tassels are added.
The production process is not complicated, but whether it is embroidery or hemming, it requires a lot of work on the needle and thread, and it also requires carefulness. Therefore, you must be practical and careful when doing this work.
Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi wrote down all the essentials for making peace talismans, took a large number of materials for making peace talismans from Miao Zhu, and took two already prepared peace talismans to use as Seemingly, he stood up and said goodbye.
After arriving home, the two began to make peace talismans, and even invited Qingju and Yinqiao to help.
Needless to say, Qingju has excellent needlework skills. Whether it is embroidering characters or sewing, he is very skillful.
Yinqiao also often does Xia Mingyue's needlework on weekdays. During this time, she learned a lot from Qingju, and her skills are also good.
Although Lu usually does work with thick needles and threads, and is not very good at embroidering characters, he can do things like hemming with his hands, so there is no need to worry.
In this way, it seems that Xia Mingyue is a little clumsy in this matter.
Although Xia Mingyue can now needle and thread, sew clothes, and make shoes, her skills are somewhat unsatisfactory in front of professionals.
Xia Mingyue quickly realized this, and after thinking for a while, she decided to give up doing embroidery and hemming. Instead, she helped with the chores of twisting threads and threading needles, which was considered a help.
Other than that, I help make delicious food for everyone, so that everyone can have more energy to make this peace charm.
The Dragon Boat Festival has passed, and it is the time when the heat is getting worse every day, so something cold to relieve the heat is indispensable.
Icy cold, elastic and smooth, extremely sweet ice powder and cold shrimp are indispensable, and you don’t have to pay much attention to eating it yourself, and brown sugar water is used as the soup base, Xia Mingyue Simply put these two delicacies in one place, and have two flavors in one bowl, which is also a unique taste.
The popsicles we tried to make in Cheung Chau Fucheng last year were also made, so that everyone can have a fresh taste.
It's just that it's early and not yet the time when watermelons are in abundance, so Xia Mingyue uses early-ripening peaches, apricots, etc. to make fruit-flavored popsicles. They taste sweet and sour, refreshing and relieving the heat.
Next, use large ice cubes, shave it into crushed ice, and pour it on the hawthorn sauce made last year and stored properly to make sweet and sour hawthorn ice...
