Chapter 201: Bamboo Dragonfly

Everyone turned their eyes here, and the little squirrel in the tree was also called down by Chu Jiaqiang. Ye Caiping took out one of the acorns that Chu Jiaqiang, Chu Jiawan and the three of her picked up together and gave it to the little squirrel. The little squirrel took it, then jumped onto Chu Jiaqiang's shoulder and began to nibble on it.

"That's how it works! Seems simple! A tourist said.

Chu Jiaqiang smiled undeniably, it is not difficult to turn the little spinning top, even a three-year-old child can do it. But it's not easy to really compete whose spinning top spins longer. It has a lot to do with not only the architecture of the gyroscope itself, but also the operator's technology. A person with good skills can spin a small spinning top for more than a minute, and can also play some moves.

"Ahh I'll change it with you! How about I pick two of these for you? A little child spoke, and the look in his eyes was obviously a spinning top that he had taken a fancy to.

In rural areas, many children are not old enough to read and do not have a reading name, which is generally called Da Yan or Er Ling...... Ah Mi, Ah Sheng, Ah Shui, etc. Ah Qi is generally the boss, and the first male is called so, which is the same as the big guy.

Now it may be a little more relaxed, before the age of studying, the parents get up early to get the name. When Chu Jiaqiang was young, he went to school and the teacher helped him to come up with it, otherwise with the minds of some peasant heads, what good name could he get?

And there is a pattern to the naming of rural areas. The first surname is fixed, and there is nothing to say. The word in the middle is the generation, and it is almost fixed, just like Chu Jiaqiang, Chu Jiaqiang, etc., the family word in the middle is the generation. As for the last word, some people can not do it if they are too lazy, anyway, the last word is more casual. Therefore, hearing a person's first name often tells what rank that person belongs to in a surname.

"Don't even think about it? And I don't look at your goods. The kid shook his head.

"No, forget it, who is rare, you will definitely not be able to turn the one in my family. Or we'll compare them later. The kid was a little sorry, and he could see that he really liked the thing in front of him.

"Uncle Chu, I want to do like that." Xiao Yazi handed an acorn he picked up to Chu Jiaqiang.

"Good! Let's go back first. Uncle Chu teaches you how to do it. Chu Jiaqiang touched Xiao Yazi's head and said.

Subsequently, Chu Jiaqiang led everyone back, and many people would do what they would do. But he also followed Chu Jiaqiang. It's not for stealing, they know how to do it when they look at the structure. Following the past is nothing more than begging for a material. That is, those little bamboo sticks.

Chu Jiaqiang returned home and took out a section of bamboo, and also prepared a hacksaw and knife. The bamboo was sawn into sections four or five centimeters long with a hacksaw. Subsequently, it is broken with a knife and split into small bamboo strips. Then. Round the small strip of bamboo and sharpen one end. Finally, insert it into the middle of the acorn snout.

Subsequently, Chu Jiaqiang continued to make these small bamboo sticks and made some for others, anyway, he had nothing to do. But some people try it themselves, and these things can be interesting if you experience them yourself.

"Don't do it for children, it's not good to cut your hands. People who try it themselves. Be careful, too, don't cut your hands. Chu Jiaqiang reminded.

Some parents with children hurriedly grabbed their little ancestors and did it themselves, and they really didn't worry about their children. These children are different from other people in the countryside, and the children in the countryside may be better at using knives than themselves, so naturally there is no need to worry.

"That's such a hassle. Boss, you go inside and grab a toothpick and cut it down from the middle. Zhou Furong said.

The others' eyes lit up. It's a good way to do it. Chu Jiaqiang said: "It's okay, but the quality of the toothpick is a little worse." It's easy to break. These fruits can only be planted once, which means they must be done in one step. Otherwise, the inside will loosen, and there will be no force when it turns, and the fruit will not be moved. ”

When everyone heard it, they also felt that it made sense, and it was themselves and others who took it for granted.

Chu Jiaqiang saw that there were still some bamboo materials, so he simply made another gadget. He first made a bamboo pole with a length of 20 centimeters and a diameter of 4 to 5 millimeters. Then make a piece of bamboo into a piece of bamboo 18 to 20 cm long, 2 cm wide and 0.3 cm thick, and make a small round hole with a diameter of 4 to 5 mm in the middle. Then cut a bevel symmetrically on each side of the hole.

"Robber, what are you doing now?" Ye Caiping asked. Although the relationship between the two has been confirmed, Ye Caiping still habitually calls the Chu family robbers, because of this, many of them are blamed by her mother Shen Qian. It's just that Chu Jiaqiang doesn't care about a title at all, so he just calls her. Moreover, calling a robber feels intimate, and calling a name makes it seem outward.

Before Chu Jiaqiang could answer, a village child said happily: "Uncle Qiang is making bamboo dragonflies." ”

"Bamboo dragonflies?" A lot of people haven't heard much of it. This title may only be known to rural people, or to the older generation. In fact, bamboo dragonflies are spread in many places, and now there are actually ones in cities, but they are not made of bamboo, but made of plastic.

The bamboo dragonfly is a major invention in ancient China. When playing, rub your hands together, and then let go of your hands, and the bamboo dragonfly will fly into the sky. Spin for a while before falling. This simple and magical toy once amazed Western missionaries and called it the "Chinese Spiral". In the thirties of the twentieth century, the Germans invented the propeller of a helicopter based on the shape and principle of the "Chinese spiral".

In fact, it only has two parts, one is the bamboo handle, that is, the small bamboo skewer 20 cm long; The second is the "wings", that is, the piece of bamboo. The two sides of the bamboo slice are symmetrically cut with an inclined plane, which can play the role of the bamboo dragonfly rising with the air vortex. Chu Jiaqiang inserted the bamboo handle into the small hole in the middle of the "wings", which must be inserted firmly and not loosened, otherwise it will not be able to rotate, and the same is true for the small spinning top in front.

In this way, a complete bamboo dragonfly appears in front of everyone's eyes, its shape is T-shaped, and the horizontal piece is like a propeller, which everyone feels familiar. Chu Jiaqiang grabbed the bamboo handle with the palms of both hands, quickly rubbed it, and as soon as his hands were loosened, the bamboo dragonfly flew into the sky, and only fell to the ground when the lift was weakened.

"It turns out that this is a bamboo dragonfly, and it is also sold outside, but it is made of plastic in the factory. And there is a more advanced one, with an extra rope, the rope is wrapped around it, and the handle is grabbed, and the rope is pulled violently, and the wings can fly. And people's wings should be fluorescent, and they will glow at night. "A tourist immediately recognizes this kind of toy, and in the city, some large squares, you will often see these small toys, which are deeply loved by children.
