Chapter 176: Kong Ming Lantern
When I went back, I saw a group of children gathered around, and several young people in the village stood on the side and pointed, Chu Jiabi and others were curious and took a closer look.
I saw that the children made a standard circle of two people with thick bamboo stickers, and there were iron wires, large sheets of white paper, paste and other equipment next to them.
The tourists couldn't see why, so they asked, "Old Village, what are they doing?" ”
Chu Jiaqiang watched those children work seriously, and they were not half serious about studying. couldn't help laughing: "Get Kong Mingwei, this is the practice in the village." ”
These little guys estimate that they have gotten a lot of pocket money these days, otherwise they wouldn't have done this. Chu Jiaqiang also did it before, but at that time, they didn't have so much money, and they were so extravagant to buy white paper, so they used waste newspapers. However, it is not easy to fly high with newspaper Kong Ming lanterns, and it is not possible to use them on rainy days, and it is not possible to use newspapers with water. White paper is different, as long as it is not heavy rain, it can still ascend to heaven.
"Kong Ming lantern?" The guys immediately became interested.
"Huh? Why don't you take these back? Be careful that you go back late, and those people will criticize you. Chu Jiaqiang said to the few tourists who still didn't leave.
"Ahem! Don't worry, the things listed in front of them to get back are enough for them to be busy. Old village. Or let's get a 'Kong Ming lantern to put on.' One tourist said with great emotion. In the city, there are also Kong Ming lanterns, but those Kong Ming lanterns are very small, and they are not as smelly as these artificially made ones.
Chu Jiaqiang has a headache, these tourists want to do everything when they see it. Although it is not very difficult to get Kong Ming lanterns, it will be troublesome when you put them, and you will have to run with Kong Ming lanterns when the time comes, after all, there is fire on it. If you don't pick it up, you will fall on the mountain and cause a fire. He told these truths to tourists, and I hope they can understand!
"What's the big deal? We'll just chase it. The tourists immediately said that they found it even more interesting. Usually those put in the sky and then have nothing to do with themselves, it's too disappointing.
"Gotcha! Then you take your time here and learn how to toss! Chu Jiaqiang said with some pain.
"Don't bother, just buy from them. Lao Village, let me tell you, you can set up a team to make Kong Ming lanterns by hand in the village, which is also a good income-generating project. Do you know how much those bucket-sized Kong Ming lanterns and wishing lanterns cost outside? Retail costs about ten yuan, and I see that it is the first time I have seen these Kong Ming lanterns that are about two meters high. "The tourist gave Chu Jiaqiang an idea.
Chu Jiaqiang frowned, there are indeed business opportunities here, but there are also hidden dangers.
The man seemed to guess Chu Jiaqiang's worries, and said with a smile: "Safety hazards can be avoided, what can you do without hidden dangers?" When we put the fuel, we can put it in according to the amount, and it will automatically extinguish itself after it burns for a certain period of time, and this is also the practice in the city. Speaking of which, once a fire is caused in the city, the damage will not be less than in the countryside, but it will still be released. ”
Chu Jiaqiang listened to it and felt that it made sense, so it was okay to save them from saying that they had no activities here.
At this time, the Kong Ming lantern had already been made. Kong Ming lanterns are not difficult to make, and those who know how can even make one in ten minutes. The children were already cheering and ready to let them out. Such a big Kong Mingwei is not something that one or two people can send to the sky. Especially if it's so tall, it has to be an adult, which is why they found those tall people.
A tourist immediately squeezed in and said, "Sell us this Kong Ming lantern!" How about I give twenty dollars? ”
Those children originally wanted to put it on their own, but when they heard twenty yuan, a few children who had a share of the money whispered a few words, and then sold Kong Mingwei happily. The cost of this Kong Ming lantern is only one or two yuan, don't look at their small people, they are still quite good when it comes to money. This one is sold, they can just get another one later, and it's not a big deal.
And those "masters" who were invited by children saw this scene and immediately stared, this money is made too fast, right? Waiting for those tourists to leave with Kong Ming lanterns, Chu Jiaqiang smiled and said, "You people are free anyway, you can make some Kong Ming lanterns and sell them!" Twenty yuan is definitely not easy to sell, but ten yuan people will definitely not be stingy, and you will also make a lot of money! ”
The men's eyes lit up and they nodded. When Chu Jiaqiang left, this group of people, together with those children, discussed and set up a pioneer team to make Kong Ming lanterns in the village.
Of course, these people do put their minds to making money. Try to improve Kong Mingwei from all aspects, and at the same time, also provide fuel for those who buy Kong Ming lanterns in the future. These fuels are the pine gangs in the village, and the pine hills are the places where the pine trees are cut with rosin, because there is rosin residue, these firewood are flammable and smoke, which is the best fuel for putting Kong Ming lanterns.
After they returned, those people heard that the woman was bright, and they either came to help or came to watch.
"Can you put such a big Kong Ming lantern on it?" Immediately, some tourists questioned that the Kong Ming lantern, which is taller than a person, was also the first time they had seen it.
A child who came with him said righteously: "Of course, we used to hang half-meter-long firecrackers on it, I don't believe you can try it." ”
"Hang firecrackers? How to ignite it! "A tourist feels very fresh.
"Just wrap a lit cigarette around the tail of a firecracker! How stupid! "The boy taught the ancestors.
Everyone immediately laughed, and it was really rare to be scolded stupid by a little country kid. The person who paid for the Kong Ming lantern really went to buy two firecrackers and came back, hanging them on both sides of the Kong Ming lantern, so that it could be balanced. Then tie up two long cigarettes and prepare to give them a "timed explosion".
Under Chu Jiaqiang's guidance, the fuel was hung piece by piece on the iron wire crisscrossed by the mouth.
The four "masters" grabbed the four corners of the top of the Kong Ming lantern and straightened it, so that they could not deviate at this time, otherwise the paper would be easily burned.
Ignite all the pine gangs inside, a large amount of black smoke is generated, plus heat energy, and the entire Kong Ming lantern begins to be full. They were about to let go, but Chu Jiaqiang stopped: "Don't let it go yet, it's windy now, wait until this gust of wind has passed, otherwise it will be scrapped." ”
On the ground, the wind is very uneven, the closer to the ground is slower, and the upper part is larger, so it is easy to blow the Kong Ming lantern crookedly. But when you get to the top, it won't, and the Kong Ming lantern may be blown out by translation.
There is also one when you put it, pay attention to the place, you need to let go at the same time, otherwise the consequences will be unsightly. So, don't think it's easy to set off a Hung Ming lantern. Maybe. The paper used in other factories is flame retardant, so these details do not need to be considered.
At the sound of the order, everyone let go at the same time. Under the gaze of everyone, Kong Ming's lantern began to rise slowly.
