Jin Lian lightly opened her lips and sang all the prosperity of the world; Slowly spit out the sound of the warbler, expressing the joys and sorrows of life. All of a sudden, the big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate, and every time they sang a song, there were countless applause, applause, one after another, and everyone could hear that the bones were trembling and crispy, and they were wandering outside the world.

What a treat.

After a while, eight songs were sung, and the eight taels of silver had arrived.

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, the people of Qinghe City are really rich, but I didn't expect that the people who are haunting this Tianshan Hall at this moment have people of all kinds of statuses, and they don't seem to be inconspicuous, but if you just point out your head, you may be a rich family......

It's amazing.

No wonder Li Zhong said that people call "Qinghe" the back garden of Tokyo.

It seems that this is true.

In this way, Wu Zhi felt the crisis, but also felt hope and opportunity.

After Jin Lian's eighth song was sung, she had a small cough again, although her illness was cured, but she sang so many songs in a row, that kind of tactful minor-key singing was actually very draining, Wu Zhi hurriedly handed over a glass of warm water, and pulled Cheng Laohu and the three children of the fat and thin brothers, stood on the high platform together, and said loudly to everyone:

"Everyone, stop ordering songs for the time being!"

"Next, it's time for everyone to be most concerned about the link, everyone is optimistic, I'll teach you the art of controlling fire now!"

The crowd boiled.

Wu Zhi began to ask Fang Qiong to name one by one according to what was recorded in the notebook.

First of all, those who had eaten five bowls of beef noodles in the group called the representatives one by one, corresponding to the distribution of a box of "The Story of Time" art matches.

Then the eight people who ordered the song called Kamikochi one by one, and each of them gave out an artifact - a big turkey.

The people who received the "prizes" were smiling one by one, as if they were celebrating a holiday, and their families also cheered and accepted the attention of other people who did not win the "prizes".

"Everyone, look ahead! Please do the same! ”

Three little tigers stand on the high ground, in different positions, motionless, like three robots that have not yet pressed a switch.

Although their bodies are not moving, there is drama in their eyes, not only revealing a serious look, but also looking very cute.

Wu Zhi took a step forward, patted the shoulders of the three little tigers standing in front of him one by one, and made a movement behind them to twist the strip, and the three little ones immediately "lived" to life, so they danced handsomely together according to the movements that Wu Zhi and them had already rehearsed just now.

The action is very simple, but it is smooth, because it is three young and agile children, even if it is just a raise of hands and a throw, they all look sunny and cute.

"Follow my left hand and right hand in slow motion, right hand and left hand slow motion replay, this song, give you happiness, have you fallen in love with me......"

In the midst of the song, the three of them held the matchbox high above their heads, and after making a circle in the air, they gently pushed the matchbox away with a gentle push of their left thumb, and then took out a match from the box with their right hand, and slid it on the side of the matchbox with a snort, and the flame was lit, emitting a fascinating red light......

The three of them put their palms together and put them together, just like a flower of hope in the palms of their hands!

The people in the audience who got the matches did not know the reason, and they also learned to do it one by one, and for a while, it was like a group of people were carrying out some kind of ancient sacrifice, and people's faces and eyes unconsciously showed piety.

Then, seeing that the match in his right hand was about to burn out, the three little ones snapped it just right between the index finger and the middle finger, and everyone learned to do it one after another, so that countless burning matches flew out like a small rocket, drawing countless stars in the air, leaving a beautiful trajectory.

A spark can start a prairie fire. Even if it is just a match that is facing elimination in modern civilization, it can actually bring immeasurable effects to ancient people and play a huge role in their lives.

Think about it, even if it is just the invention and application of matches, it has gone through a history of nearly a thousand years, it can be seen that "controlling" fire is really a difficult progress process for human beings, and it is also a very remarkable progress process......

You must know that matches were once a tribute from Western countries to Emperor Daoguang, and at that time, this novel foreign gadget immediately aroused the amazement and pursuit of the emperor's relatives and important ministers and wealthy businessmen, which was hundreds of years after the Northern Song Dynasty......

A small match, a big head, a stick, although small, but not simple.

Compared with paper twists, as well as fire folds, flints, etc., matches are not much progress, but the effect is clear and significant. It's easy to carry, easy to keep and easy to use. —note 1

At the moment, everyone learned the movements of the three little ones to throw away the matches in their hands one after another, and the faces of one or two were all happy, because, I didn't expect that this primary fire control technique was so simple, they only learned it once, but, at the same time, they were sorry for the one match that was thrown away, so they bent their waists and put their faces on the ground, and each of them picked up the matchstick that burned to only half a small one, and stared up and down left and right with a reluctant expression......

Some of them repeated the same action and tried to light half of the matchstick again.

Wu Zhi shouted, stopped them, and said with a smile: "Everyone, as long as it is a matchstick with a big head burned out, if you lose it, you will lose it, and you can't pick it up and continue to use it, understand?" ”

"Big head? You mean this colored thing? Some people took out new matches and compared them: "This one is burned out, so it can't be used anymore?" ”

"That's right. If you throw it away, you throw it away, and you can't use it anymore. Since we want to learn how to control fire, we must be more generous, otherwise we will ......"

"How else?"

"Otherwise, it won't work. In the future, don't think about lighting this box of matches again, you have to start all over again. Wu Zhi originally wanted to say for the first time that the matchstick that had been lit by the big head would wipe the phosphide on the side of the matchbox, and the match would not be able to wipe it in the future, but the words changed when it came to his mouth.

"So, that was a spell just now?"

"What?"

"Follow me, left hand, right hand ......," someone sang and danced.

"Yes. It's a mantra. If you want to be a beginner, you have to not only sing, but also dance. Wu Zhi simply guided according to the situation and said, "For fire, we must always have a heart of awe. You can only harness the fire to do what is convenient, and you can't make it evil, otherwise—"

"How else?"

"Otherwise, the god of fire will be angry and set you on fire. Do you understand? ”

"Understood."

Note 1: There is news that a 40-year-old match in the house of a lady in Yangzhou can still be lit, which shows that in extreme cases, the shelf life of matches is long.
