After making the ginning machine, Lao Tie couldn't wait to study his things. And Rou Niang was a little impatient to take the ginning machine home, so as to process the seed cotton as soon as possible. However, Li Feng continued to be busy, because there was still something very important to do.

It wasn't until two days later that everything was ready and everyone waited for the group to gather. One by one, they all stared at Li Feng very curiously, not understanding what he was going to do.

"Fourth uncle, what is this? Such a big bow? ”

Looking at an object that looked like a curved bow in Li Feng's hand, Gao Yang looked left and right and didn't see anything famous, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"But, big brother, why didn't you see the bow and arrows? Without a bow and arrows, how can you use this big bow?"

It's not just Gao Yang who is suspicious, Yaya watched from the side for a long time, she was also confused, and when she saw Gao Yang talking, she couldn't wait to say.

"Hehe, this bow doesn't need feather arrows, let's use this"

Looking at the confused crowd, Li Feng smiled and waved the gavel in his hand and said.

"Alright, let's stop talking, let's get started. Well, don't stand too close."

After everything was ready, Li Feng put a piece of cloth to his mouth, and then commanded everyone. Look at the piece of cloth covering the face, it turned out to be a mask-like thing.

"Bang bang, buzz"

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, there were bursts of noise in the room. I saw that Li Feng was holding something like the giant bow in one hand, and the other hand began to wave the mallet, striking on the bowstring of the giant bow. That's how the sound comes out, of course.

And as the sound came, the room suddenly began to flutter like snowflakes. Countless cotton wool began to be thrown into the air continuously, white flowers, and it was spectacular.

Playing cotton, an ancient craft, Li Feng can still often see it in the countryside when he was a child. However, with the development of society, this craft has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history. It's a rare sight.

However, Li Feng has a deep memory of playing cotton. Back in his childhood, whenever the cottonsmith came to the village, Li Feng and his group of children would follow. Follow them around and watch the cotton. At that time, they were very curious about playing cotton Li Feng, and even felt that this thing was very magical.

Think about it too, think about it, some worn-out cotton wool. After these cottonmakers tinkered, it didn't take long for a new white quilt to appear in front of him as if by magic, which was indeed a bit incredible. Plus. The burst of buzzing sound, like a passionate song, and the fluttering scene of cotton wool made Li Feng worship these cotton craftsmen when he was a child.

"Sandalwood hammer. Pine Tree; The golden rooster crows, the snowflakes float" This is the best interpretation of their craftsmanship by the cotton craftsmen. It is also the most vivid metaphor for people's work on them.

The main purpose of playing cotton is to renovate those old cotton wool through this technology, so that it can be fluffy and soft again, and the color will be restored to white. However, even if it is new cotton, it must be treated in this way before it can be made into a large warm quilt.

The ancient craft of playing cotton is very unfamiliar to many modern people, especially the younger generation. In fact, not only that, but for the ancients more than 1,000 years ago, it was also a very novel craft. Looking at Li Feng, who was busy there, everyone was also dumbfounded.

"No, you have to take a break, this cotton is really not simple. Craft work is craft work."

It didn't take long for Li Feng to stop the work in his hand and said with emotion on his face. Li Feng is not lacking in strength, and he will not be tired, but he does not have skills. It's always not well controlled, and the cotton sticks to the bowstring of the cotton bow. couldn't do those cottonsmiths' light and elegant movements, which made Li Feng feel like he had no place to use his strength.

"Hehe, Brother Li, you have a lot of ways. Now it's okay, and the cotton is fluffy. Brother Li, don't you wait until all this cotton is bounced with a big bow, and then tie them up with these threads, right? ”

As soon as Li Feng stopped, everyone immediately ran forward and began to take a closer look. Rou Niang grabbed a ball of cotton wool and immediately felt the difference. Then, pointing to the thin line on the side, he asked Li Feng.

"Hehe, you're still a daughter-in-law, you're smart. That's right, wait a minute, after all the cotton is done, it's going online. Fix these fluffy cotton wool and set the shape. ”

Hearing Rou Niang's question, Li Feng immediately replied with a smile and nodded. Indeed, when the cotton is bounced, it needs to go online. Use countless fine yarns, criss-crossed, to fix these cotton wool.

"Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, you put it down, let me try it, it looks like this cotton is very fun"

Compared with what Rou Niang paid attention to, Gao Yang was more interested in this cotton, and as soon as the words fell, he had already taken over the cotton bow in Li Feng's hand. Then, I couldn't wait, and began to follow Li Feng's example and began to play cotton. However, this girl is still just playing, it is a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and there is no rules at all.

"Sister Yan, hurry up, it's my turn and Yaya, you see you're tired, take a break"

thinks it's fun to play cotton, of course, it can't be just Gao Yang, the maid and the son on the side are also red, and their small eyes are staring at Gao Yang. It didn't take long to see Gao Yang, and he was already sweating on his pretty face, and Yaya immediately suggested a replacement.

"Oh, this cotton bow is so heavy that it exhausts me, but it's kind of funny."

Hearing Yaya say this, Gao Yang also put the guy down very happily, and then said with a big gasp.

Yaya and the son were still too young and had little strength, so they couldn't lift the bulky cotton bow, so the task of lifting the bow was naturally handed over to Li Feng. And the two little ones are just responsible for striking the bowstring with the mallet. caused Gao Yang to suddenly shout, saying that Li Feng was unfair.

Immediately, needless to say, the room was filled with the sound of cotton playing and giggling laughter.

Playing cotton is definitely a very novel thing for everyone, and everyone is very curious and interested in it. In the end, even Rou Niang and the others joined in, wanting to have a good time.

"Sister Rou Niang, I want to try it too"

Yang Jie can be said to be the quietest person, on weekdays, even at home, she rarely speaks or says anything. Most of the time, she is so quietly on the sidelines, smiling and watching everyone talk or play, like a snow lotus standing quietly in the mountains, holy and elegant.

Maybe it's because this cotton is really too novel, so that a quiet her, somehow today, also came to the interest, and said to Rou Niang with a smile.

"Okay, Sister Yang, why don't we come together, this cotton bow is quite heavy."

Seeing that Yang Jie also had this interest, Rou Niang said to Yang Jie with a smile on her face. For this sister, who is like a lily in the wind and a snow lotus in the mountains, everyone in the family likes her very much.

"Okay"

Regarding Rou Niang's words, Yang Jie readily agreed.

Actually, Li Feng knew that Yang Jie didn't look weak, but that was just on the surface. In fact, she has a lot of strength. However, Li Feng didn't ask much about Yang Jie's previous affairs. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, what she has experienced, of course, Li Feng is not clear.

After a period of commotion, the cotton finally bounced away. Next, it is necessary to start going online, which is a meticulous job that requires a lot of patience to do. For this, that's what Rou Niang is good at. After a few efforts, he was already better than the blue, leaving Li Feng, the master, far behind.

After the thread is finished, the quilt is pressed and ground with a wooden grinding pan. This set of procedures is mainly to make the quilt more flat, and also make the yarn more strong and stick together with the cotton wool, so as not to fall off.

After all these processes were completed, a brand-new big quilt appeared in front of Li Feng. Looking at the familiar quilt in front of him, Li Feng's heart suddenly became excited.

"Wow, it's so soft, it's so warm, it must be very comfortable to sleep at night, haha, great, I'll cover it when I sleep tonight."

When the quilt is ready, everyone can't wait to feel how this so-called quilt is. However, it is clear that this quilt will not disappoint everyone. That soft and warm feeling immediately made everyone's faces show surprise and joy.

Gao Yang couldn't wait to hold a part of the quilt in his arms, and that posture, as if he was holding some good baby, did not let go tightly, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it away.

"No, this quilt is so comfortable, we have to cover this quilt at night. My son and I are children, and we are afraid of the cold at night, so we should give it to us, son, do you say yes?"

Before Gao Yang's voice fell, Yaya immediately quit on the side. The quilt was so comfortable, she wanted to cover it at night. For this reason, he also pulled the little son onto the common front.

In fact, there is no need for the maid to agitate at all, from the son's red little face and wide eyes, you can see that the quilt in front of her is also very tempting to her. After hearing Yaya's words, she immediately turned her head and looked at Gao Yang. Although he didn't speak, the meaning in his expression couldn't be more obvious.

"I said you girls, what's the hurry? This hasn't been done yet. Rou Niang, Xiao Jie, you sew the quilt first. Otherwise, you can't help but toss a few times."

It's not enough to just have a quilt, and there's not even a quilt cover. It is much more convenient to use the quilt cover directly, but when it is covered, it is not as comfortable as sewing directly with the quilt cover.
