Chapter 481 Calcium Carbide Lamp

Since then, the mouse has been out of control. Whenever they ate walnuts or peanuts, the guy would crouch in front of the crowd and keep his eyes fixed on the food until he was fed.

If you don't give it to it, it will yell at you, like a child begging an adult for food.

If it doesn't give it, it will unceremoniously jump on you, stand on its hind feet and pull the walnut into your hand with its front paws to eat.

Now every time Zhang Qian eats pecans, she has to take care of the three little ones in the family, Wukong, Diandian and Mouse, but they are all peeled and eaten by themselves.

"Is this still a clouded leopard, you really have it as a pet." Watching the little clouded leopard smash it and eat walnuts, Suna was speechless again.

When Liu Junqi called the next day, Liu Junhao thought that he still wanted yellow eel blood, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade him: "Brother Junqi, if the yellow eel blood is ineffective, you should hurry up and let people go to the street, this facial paralysis is not comparable to other diseases, and it is not easy to treat facial nerve necrosis if you delay it for too long." ”

"Don't worry, I applied it yesterday morning, and it was all right by the time I ate at noon, and he thanked me vigorously. Calling you today for something else. ”

"What for?" Liu Junhao asked casually.

"I went up the mountain a few days ago and found a nest of wild bees in the crucian carp bones, and I wanted to catch them and raise them. This doesn't just make six bees, you help carry it up the mountain. ”

"Bee Guan? I said, Brother Junqi, are you going to catch that kind of gray-black bee? Liu Junhao really couldn't imagine that after the failure of beekeeping last year, this person still did not give up, and this year he still plans to go up the mountain to catch bees, and this time he is even more eyeing wild bees.

In the eyes of ordinary people, as long as the bees that produce honey are commonly called bees, in fact, there are many kinds of bees, and there are four or five species in Daqingshan alone. In addition to the very rare earth bees in Liu Junhao's courtyard, there are also black bees, medium bees and a small earthy yellow bee.

Ordinary bees are easy to catch as long as they find their nests, but this gray-black wild bee is different. It is poisonous and vigilant, and as soon as it finds an invasion of foreign enemies, it immediately rushes to it.

Liu Junhao was stung by this bee when they went up the mountain to get honey when they were children, and the guy's face was swollen like steamed buns at that time, and it took a week for the swelling to subside, and then there were a few pockmarks left on his face, and now they have not disappeared.

Since then, they have known that this wild bee cannot be messed with, and rarely hits the idea of honeycombing.

Unexpectedly, Liu Junqi was not small, and he planned to raise this thing.

"Don't worry, I'll do a good job of bee control a long time ago, and I don't need anyone to go out." Liu Junqi was relieved on the phone.

"The key is, where do you catch it and keep it?" Liu Junhao asked rhetorically.

"I'll talk about it when I get it back, you can go to my house first and help carry the bees."

Bee Guan is a tool for raising wild bees in rural areas, which directly splits pine wood in half, hollows out a wooden trough every four centimeters or so, and each wooden trough is about two centimeters wide.

The whole pine wood is divided into eight to ten troughs according to the length and thickness of the wood, and when it is done, it is carried to the mountain and placed near the honeycomb or in the place where the wildflowers are in full bloom. This season is the time to catch wild bees, and there are usually wild bees nesting in wooden troughs for ten days and a half.

However, wild bees are very aggressive, and if they want to collect honey, they must be fully armed, so if they are careless, they will be caught.

In the early years, there were many families who raised wild bees, but later they were slowly abandoned due to the low honey production.

Seeing that he insisted, Liu Junhao had no choice but to say hello to his daughter-in-law and lead Zhou Wei over to help.

This person made a lot of noise, and even called a few tourists to go up the mountain, and he was not afraid of waiting for someone to be stung.

There is no difficulty in placing the bee gate, Liu Junqi knows the location of the beehive, just put it nearby.

A tourist was taking pictures in front of the tree, but he didn't look at the road under his feet, and he stumbled and almost fell.

"Be careful," Liu Junhao hurriedly admonished.

"It's okay, step on a rock," the tourist straightened up, and just as he turned to walk away, he suddenly crouched down again.

"Lao Wang, did you find a baby?" The people together laughed and joked.

"It's really a treasure, maybe bronze"

Although there is nothing valuable about the ancient tomb dug up in the well a few years ago, it also proves that there are many cultural relics in the ground near Liujiagou. Many tourists pick up those broken bricks from the ground and always go to the village to find someone to identify them.

"Bronze, you fool the hell" a group of people did not believe it at all. I saw that the tourist pulled a few times, and really pulled out a cylindrical thing from the pile of mud. It's really bronze...... Utensils made of copper are covered with blue-black patina.

"It's really an antique, hurry up and look for it, there must be an ancient tomb nearby. I have long seen that this place is surrounded by water, and it is definitely a treasure of feng shui. "A tourist is an afterthought.

"" As soon as he said the words, his companion pouted, obviously not believing.

This thing was passed around in the hands of the people, and no one knew what it was for.

"Something Really Something" A tourist kicked twice with his foot at the place where the bronze was found, and as a result, a large hole was kicked.

"I'll just say it, I'll say it...... Absolute tombs. The previous tourist was even more excited.

Several people hurriedly picked up the floating soil above, only to find that there was a wooden box buried underneath. The wood used to make the box had rotted, and the kick just kicked it to pieces.

When they pulled out the box, they saw that it was a tarpaulin package inside.

Everyone was very excited, and they all guessed that there was probably a treasure hidden inside, so they unanimously suggested opening the package to take a look.

Who knew that when they opened it, they were dumbfounded, and there was no gold and silver treasure in it, but a few black stones, which looked very similar to coal.

"Extraterrestrial meteorite" is a tourist with a very good imagination and directly guessed this top.

"Xiao Hao, do you know each other?" Liu Junqi took a piece and looked at it twice, already knowing what it was.

"Why don't you know, isn't it calcium carbide, this thing should be calcium carbide lamp." Knowing the name of the stone in his hand, the name of the bronze is about to come out. Liu Junhao felt like it before, but he was not sure for a while.

"Well, I think so too." Liu Junqi nodded.

"What is calcium carbide?" The tourist who was the most fierce just now turned his head and asked.

"Calcium carbide is what we often call ore, put calcium carbide in water, it will bubble and produce a combustible gas, that is, acetylene. In the early years, there were no electric lights in Liujiagou, and diesel was too expensive, so people invented a lamp for burning calcium carbide, which is this ......"

Liu Junhao pointed to the bronze lamp and explained, "The calcium carbide lamp is divided into two sections, the upper one holds water, and the lower one holds calcium carbide. There is also a screw needle in the upper section of the water that controls the amount of water dripping into the lower section of the calcium carbide, so that acetylene can be lit, and acetylene is sprayed out from the lamp head to form a flame. The size of the flame is also controlled by the screw needle, and the more water the screw emits, the larger the flame of the calcium carbide lamp. This calcium carbide lamp is estimated to have been in the rain for a long time, and the patina on it is too thick, so it is not clear to see the screw. ”

Regarding calcium carbide lamps, Liu Junhao has heard his grandfather talk about it before. This thing has been around for a long time, and people used to dig coal and use this kind of electric lamp for lighting in the mines. However, this thing is fine at the top point, it is very dangerous to put it underground, and many mine gas explosions are caused by it.

In the early years, I ate a big pot of rice, and there were two large calcium carbide lamps made of clay in the village. The light is particularly dazzling, and lighting two calcium carbide lamps during meals can illuminate half of the village at once. And if there is any family in the village, they will generally go to the team to borrow large calcium carbide lamps.

"No, why haven't I heard of calcium carbide lamps?" Tourists who dig up the bronzes simply cannot accept this fact.

"If it's real or fake, you'll find out, which of you has water?" Liu Junqi said and took the calcium carbide lamp, twisted it a few times, and twisted the screw.

A tourist had already handed the kettle, he poured some water into it, put the calcium carbide in it, covered the lid, took out a lighter and lit it.

If the calcium carbide is not well sealed, it will be weathered into the face of calcium carbide. Weathered into calcium carbide surface, it will be blind and can no longer be used.

The few pieces of calcium carbide in front of him were sealed with oilcloth and did not weather, and the hissing flames immediately erupted.

Several tourists' eyes were round, and they exclaimed: "This thing is really a calcium carbide lamp, it's really awesome."

"It's nothing, in the early years, there were a lot of calcium carbide lamps in our village, but it is indeed rare to see such a delicate one." Most of the calcium carbide lamps used in Liujiagou were made of iron sheets, and this special calcium carbide lamp should have been used exclusively in the mine before, and I don't know why it was lost here.

Then, Liu Junqi asked with a smile again, "Xiao Hao, do you remember the good things you and Qiyong did?" ”

"Why don't you remember," Liu Junhao also laughed.

Since Liu Junhao remembers, this calcium carbide lamp has rarely been used at home, and later completely withdrew from the historical stage.

His clearest memory is just that he once played with Liu Qiyong with a calcium carbide lamp, and the two of them didn't know how to get annoyed, and in the last breath, they threw all the calcium carbide into the dung pit of the toilet.

At that time, the manure pits in rural toilets were dug in large pools, and they were only dug once every month, so the manure often fermented to produce methane.

Not long after they threw calcium carbide into the toilet, Liu Qiyong and his father went to the toilet with a cigarette in their mouth, and after smoking, they threw the cigarette butt into the dung pit.

As you can imagine, acetylene and methane burn at the same time. With a "boom", a small explosion occurred in the simple toilet, and Liu Qiyong and his father were so frightened that they didn't tie their belts at that time, and rushed out directly with their pants.

Later, he knew that it was his son who caused the accident, and beat Liu Qiyong hard.

"The calcium carbide lamp is the calcium carbide lamp, maybe this thing is still a cultural relic." The tourist finally wanted to open it, this thing is very commemorative, at least it can be sold for dozens of copper dollars.

Su Nana and Zhou Wei are both people with jobs, they stayed in Liujiagou for two days and left in a hurry, and they didn't even bother to drink the full moon wine of the two little guys.

Zhang Qian didn't keep it, but asked her husband to pick a few big watermelons for them before leaving.

Waiting for the two little guys to be full moon, after drinking the full moon wine, Zhang's mother watched the school holiday, and Liu Junhao, who was busy at home, came over alone, and really didn't need to help himself, so he was relieved to go back to the city.

As soon as the old lady was sent away, Zhang Qian's aunt and cousin He Yifan called and said that he was impatient with his parents' chatter and wanted to go to Liujiagou to play during the summer vacation.

Of course, he made the banner of going to Liujiagou to ask his cousin to help him review his homework. Zhang Qian's aunt and brother-in-law also agreed that Liujiagou is so far away from the city, and He Yifan's group of fox friends and dog friends will at least not affect their children.

It's okay to come, Zhang Qian said first, you are not allowed to touch the computer when you come.

He Yifan agreed on the phone, and rushed to Liujiagou with a backpack the next day.

The bear child has finally grown up, and when he came, he knew how to bring a few sets of toys for the two children.
