"Miss Xu's guess is right, this fireworks were brought back from overseas." Zhang Youmin opened his mouth and said, "The south of Nanzhao City is close to the sea, and there will always be many merchants who board ships and sail to another place in exchange for greater benefits, and this fireworks is what one of the merchants brought back when he returned.

Later, at this time of year, the merchant would return with these fireworks, and the place where the fireworks were set off was in the Fanhua Temple on the edge of Nanzhao City. ”

"So in the temple, the monk bell is first ringed, and then the fireworks are set off, in order to make people mentally prepared not to be frightened by the sudden sound of fireworks?" Xu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked again.

"Miss Xu is really smart, that's exactly what happened." Zhang Youmin nodded and said, "I don't know if the two young ladies want to go and see the situation of this fireworks?" ”

Although Xu Xi knew about this thing, Gu Chaoci hadn't studied it after all, so it was normal to not know what this fireworks looked like.

So when Zhang Youmin asked like this, Gu Chaoci was particularly interested, so he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, go and have a look." ”

If there was an expectation before, and then it was amazing, then now Gu Chaoci is longing, and he wants to be able to study how this thing came out with his own hands.

"The two young ladies, please." Zhang Youmin smiled and made such a "please" action, the two also got up with a smile, and Gu Chaoci was in a hurry to get to the temple and see with his own eyes what the prototype of this thing looked like. Seeing this, Xu Xi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

This firework is really nothing to look at, and the prototype is even more nothing to see, but for Gu Chaoci, it really has a certain research value.

After all, after the fireworks are burned, there will be some things left in the box containing the fireworks, and I believe that with Gu Chaoci's ability, he will definitely be able to know what the ingredients are.

It's just that what remains is a matter of proportion, but since Gu Chaoci has already been able to develop this firearm, I believe that this firework must be a good problem, anyway, Xu Xi is very confident in Gu Chaoci.

She was looking forward to the moment when Gu Chaoci developed this firework.

Just like Gu Chaoci said before, if it can really be studied, this is really a very profitable thing.

But again, this thing is just a pastime, and only the rich can play with it, after all, this thing is expensive and expensive.

How can ordinary people afford to play?

In modern times, there is a lot of room for people who can't afford to play with this thing. Some people in the ravines may not have seen it, right?

"Did the county magistrate of Nanzhao City buy this firework from the merchant?" Xu Xi raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the fireworks that were still being set off, and couldn't help but ask.

The fireworks burn very fast, but the fireworks in the sky should have been a quarter of an hour from the beginning to now, and this must be more than just one or two boxes of fireworks, right?

"This is provided by the merchant himself." Zhang Youmin replied, "That merchant is a well-known and good person in Nanzhao City, he doesn't live in Nanzhao City on weekdays, and he basically runs merchants at sea, but every time he comes back, he will always give porridge or make some contributions to Nanzhao City."

And the fireworks in Nanzhao City every year are voluntarily contributed by him, so even if he does not grow up in Nanzhao City, Nanzhao City will always have his place, and because of this, his family can always be welcomed and helped by everyone in Nanzhao City. ”

"There are such good people." Xu Xi nodded slightly and said with some emotion.

After all, in ancient times, there were many people with good intentions, but there was a strict hierarchy, and many people were not very friendly or respected on an equal basis for this inferior person.

Not to mention donating money and things like modern times.

"A great good man indeed." Zhang Youmin said very approvingly, "There are many people who get his discount." ”

Saying this, the three people have come to the front of the temple, look up slightly, only to see that in front of the main gate of the temple, there is a plaque, which is engraved with the dragon flying and phoenix dance, the vigorous and powerful three big characters "Fanhua Temple".

At this time, the fireworks have stopped ringing, and it seems that they have been set off.

For Xu Xi and Gu Chaoci, this is just the right time.

It's just that the temple is closed and obviously no longer receives pilgrims, which .....

"How do I get in?" Xu Xi looked at the closed door in front of him and asked.

"This is the time period when the fireworks are set off, so this gate will be closed, and after the fireworks are over, the gate of this temple will be opened in a while, and the two young ladies will be calm for the time being." Zhang Youmin immediately explained.

"I see." Xu Xi nodded and said with a sudden realization.

As he was talking, the door of the temple was opened at this time. When the door opened, several people looked over, and what they just saw was a monk sending a middle-aged man out.

"Amitabha, donor walk slowly." The great monk said to the middle-aged man.

"Amitabha." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he also turned around and prepared to leave, and when he saw Zhang Youmin, he also smiled at him, nodded slightly, and then walked past them.

Before, Zhang Youmin could be regarded as having a few encounters with him, but he didn't have a good conversation, mainly because this person was a little too busy.

So, they can be regarded as nodding friends.

"That's the merchant I told you about providing this firework." Zhang Youmin looked at his departing back, and hurriedly introduced Xu Xi and Gu Chaoci a little.

At this moment, the great monk also looked at them, folded in front of them, and recited: "Amitabha." ”

"How many donors are going to the temple to offer incense?" The great monk asked aloud.

"Yes." Gu Chaoci replied with a smile, "By the way, we also want to see what the prototype of this firework is, we are very curious, I wonder if the master can satisfy our curiosity?" ”

"Amitabha, since several donors are here for this firework, then the little monk has no reason to stop a few donors, please."

As soon as the great monk heard Gu Chaoci's words, he immediately spoke, sideways and moved out of the way, allowing the three of them to walk in.

As soon as you walk in, you can see that there are several square cardboard boxes on top of the open space of the temple.

Several monks have already begun to clean up these things.

Seeing this, Zhang Youmin on the side also pointed to the cardboard boxes and said to Gu Chaoci: "Miss Gu, that's the cardboard boxes used for fireworks." ”

"In a cardboard box?" Gu Chaoci's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked over quickly, obviously very curious about these cardboard boxes, and also curious about why this fireworks could be contained in such a cardboard box, and how could they burst into the sky and bloom?

In particular, it seems to be more difficult to release some patterns temporarily, if it is just some ordinary fireworks, there must be no such and such patterns, but it is clear that these are not ordinary fireworks.

But for Gu Chaoci, it's more valuable for research, isn't it?

In between, Gu Chaoci walked around the cardboard box, then began to look here, and then looked at the place, and then took out a handkerchief, and poured out some dust from the fireworks, which allowed the monks in the temple to clean up these useless fireworks boxes.

"Miss Gu pretends to be this dust, but what's the use?" Seeing that Gu Chaoci actually wrapped such a thing in a handkerchief, he suddenly asked out loud that he couldn't understand.

"Take it back and study it." Gu Chaoci smiled and replied very indifferently.

"Take ....." back to study? Hearing Gu Chaoci say this, Zhang Youmin didn't know what to say.

looked at Gu Chaoci, and then looked at Xu Xi, who didn't care very much, but it was obvious that Xu Xi, who was not surprised by this fireworks, had a voice in his heart for the first time told him that the two beauties in front of him might not be ordinary people.

Otherwise, how could he always have to be hit this way, that way?

This was something that had never happened before. It seems that his life experience needs to be improved!

Walking out of this Fanhua Temple, although it is relatively late, if it is placed in normal times, it must be the time in the dead of night.

But because of the special reasons of Nanzhao City in the past few days, walking on this street, I really saw that there were still a lot of people there.

"On these two days of the year, there are always a lot of people on this street, but it will gradually decrease, but it will not be without people, and when it is almost dawn, the street will start to be lively again, and there will be more street vendors.

At this time, some vendors should almost clean up their stalls and go back, and wait until the next day to come back, so in the back, most people will basically go to the teahouse or restaurant, or push the cup and change the lamp, or drink tea and chat, listen to books and rap, which is also very good.

I don't know if the two young ladies are going to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to the play? It is said that in the past two days, in order to celebrate the feast of the chrysanthemum banquet, the Yipin teahouse in Nanzhao City specially invited the famous characters of Beijing, not in the theater, but set up a special platform in this teahouse. ”

Seeing that the lively atmosphere on this street has decreased slightly, the teahouses, restaurants, and inns everywhere are still lit up.

Zhang Youmin remembered that in this teahouse, it would probably be a time when the hall was full, after all, when he went there yesterday, it was still very lively inside, and the applause continued.

Thinking about it, I don't know if Xu Xi and Gu Chaoci will like that atmosphere.

I happened to walk so far, in fact, I can sit down and eat some pastries, eat some melon seeds, drink some tea, and cushion my stomach, right?

It's also a good time to take a good rest, and listening to this famous character sing will also be a different kind of enjoyment.
