Chapter 364: Firecrackers
However, people's wisdom is infinite, since gunpowder is not good, then, soon some people think of traditional firecrackers, so in some festive times, there are no firecrackers, and then some people find some bamboo, put it in the fire to burn, and when it burns to the bamboo knot, it will be violent, and then make a 'bang' sound.
In fact, the ancient Hua-Xia people did this, which is why firecrackers are still called firecrackers in many places.
Chinese New Year's Eve, how can you not listen to it.
In ancient legends, there was a monster named 'Nian' who would run out to make trouble every Chinese New Year's Eve, but he was afraid of fire and sound, so people had the custom of setting off firecrackers in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although many people now know that it is just a legend, the customs that have been passed down for thousands of years have long become habits, and they are not so easy to change.
No, Li Qingyun hasn't finished pasting the couplet yet, so his father found him and asked him to get some bamboos and come back, and they will also burn firecrackers to listen to the sound later.
Okay, my father has spoken, what else can Li Qingyun say, so he had to hand over the matter of pasting couplets to Li Qinglin, and asked him to take a few younger brothers to complete this task, and he also rode out on horseback.
In fact, at this time, there are a lot of people selling bamboo on the street, Hua-Xia people are very good at doing business, and they have also suffered hardship, many people see this business opportunity, cut some bamboo back and sell it for money, such a good thing, of course, can not be missed.
However, Li Qingyun did not go to them to buy it.
After all, it's not easy for others to get it back, it's very tiring, Li Qingyun doesn't have to rob it with others, anyway, it's not a difficult thing for him.
He was very happy, so he rode his horse and ran to a place where no one was, and then his person disappeared in a flash, but unfortunately, no one saw Li Qingyun disappear.
And when Li Qingyun appeared again, he was already far away from the continent of the Martial Arts Continent.
Li Qingyun came to another continent far away from it.
And there is a bamboo forest in front of him, no, this can't be called a bamboo forest, it's completely a bamboo sea.
At first glance, you can't see the head. It's all bamboo.
The reason why Li Qingyun came here was because there were some mutated bamboos here.
They are not huge, and the thickest ones are only the size of a ping-pong ball.
However, they are very hard and can bear more weight than many thick bamboos.
The reason why Li Qingyun likes it is not just this, but that it is born with a fragrance.
If you burn it, you can use it as sandalwood. This can be said to be a natural flavor.
Li Qingyun also discovered its existence by chance.
Although this world is his, but there are some animals and plants evolving here, and he can't control it at all, unless he deliberately understands it, otherwise, he can't know everything.
When my father was talking about firecrackers just now, Li Qingyun immediately thought of these bamboos.
Soon, Li Qingyun found the bamboo he wanted in the sea of bamboo.
I haven't left them alone for a long time, and they've grown a big patch.
Li Qingyun quickly cut down more than 20 bamboos, and after removing all their branches, more than 20 bamboos were tied together, which was not very many. But the weight is not small.
But for Li Qingyun, this is really nothing.
Soon, he returned to Xinmin City with bamboo.
No one noticed the abruptness of Li Qingyun's appearance, Li Qingyun asked the black dragon horse to drag the bamboo and slowly go home.
This also didn't go unnoticed by too many people.
In the past few days, there are not a few people who go to the city to get bamboo. It's just that most of those people use carts to push, and there are really not many people like you Li Qingyun who use horses to pull.
After all, horses are very precious in this martial arts continent.
"The firecrackers are coming, come and help get them. ”
"Coming, coming, brother, let's come, haha. ”
As soon as they heard Li Qingyun's voice, Li Qinglin and a few of the boys ran out.
Boys, always playful, used to be on the earth, during the Chinese New Year, they didn't play less firecrackers.
Li Qingyun threw a few of the bamboos to them, and then drove the black dragon horse into the horse pen in the backyard.
When he first came out, he saw a big iron bucket in the front yard, which was the kind of big iron bucket commonly used for diesel fuel outside, but at this time, the upper part of it was cut off.
At this time, a raging fire was already burning in the iron bucket, and Li Qinglin and the others were on the side, sawing the bamboos that Li Qingyun got back into small bamboo knots, and then began to throw them into the fire bucket.
As soon as Li Qingyun came out, he heard a "boom" explosion.
Well, the iron bucket also has a sound bonus, not to mention Li Qingyun, even Li Qinglin on the side and they were all taken aback.
I didn't expect that there would be such a loud noise.
This sound was ringing, and everyone in the family was called.
"What's ringing? ”
"What are you burning? It smells so good. It smells good. ”
People who go to the front yard, everyone's focus is different. Soon they were talking nonsense.
"Bang bang..."
But compared to the explosion, their voices were really nothing. At this time, explosions came from the iron barrel one after another, and their voices had already been suppressed.
I don't know why, hearing the sound of firecrackers, the family also became excited from the heart. No wonder so many people, during the festivities, want to set off firecrackers, it seems that this is not without reason.
Li Qingjing hid far away by herself, but at this time, she was there shouting at Li Qingsong and them, "Throw it away, go on, there is no sound." ”
Lin Yunfei, who was taken aback at first, flew them. When he came back to his senses, he immediately pulled a bamboo from not far away and began to saw.
After all, the bucket was not big, and it was impossible to fit the whole bamboo, so they had to saw it and throw it in.
So there are more bamboos on the ground that have no heads on either side. It's probably only a little longer than chopsticks.
Li Qingyun walked over and picked them all up.
Then he walked over to Li Qingjing and them.
"Didn't you just ask, what is so fragrant, let me tell you, it's this bamboo. Smell it. ”
"Ah, really, it's so fragrant, what kind of bamboo is this, haha, I don't need any aromatherapy in the future, just burn some bamboo." ”
"Show me, show me. Niuniu also took a bamboo from Li Qingyun's hand.
Soon, Zhao Hongfang, Tan Qingrou and Li Qingyun's two aunts also came around.
Whether it is a girl or a woman, they are very fond of fragrant things. Otherwise, those perfumes wouldn't be so popular.
Li Qingyun was very happy, and they were all squeezed out of the circle.
Li Qingyun shrugged his shoulders and stopped participating.
The firecrackers continued, and the fragrance in the compound was getting stronger and stronger. Don't say it's those women, it's not Li Youde and them, they are all enjoying the fragrance in the air at this time.
"Li Youde, come over quickly. ”
"Come, do you have any orders?"
"Well, these bamboos are handed over to you, you can make them all into bamboo sticks. ”
"Ahh
"Ahh ”
When Li Youde heard his wife's words, he didn't know what to say, you are really a good wife, you think so much about me, but why, he felt that they were completely catching strong men.
Although depressed is depressed, he still has to do what his wife confesses.
However, he set his eyes on Li Qingyun in a blink of an eye. The heart said, boy, you made this out, Lao Tzu is not happy, you don't want to be easy.
"Li Qingyun, you come over to me, make all these bamboos into bamboo sticks for me, and if you don't finish them, you are not allowed to eat. ”
Well, Li Youde is even more ruthless, and he is not allowed to eat until he finishes it.
Li Qingyun looked at his father with tears and laughter, and thought, there is no such thing as you, I really don't know if I am your biological son, is there such a pit son?
But he just thought about it, and when it was over, he still had to go to the complete task.
But fortunately, Li Qingyun is not an ordinary person, and he does not need to be slowly sharpened with a knife like the traditional rural area.
I don't know where Li Qingyun took out a knife, and then I saw him pick up a bamboo on the side, throw it away, and then wave his right hand at those bamboos a few times.
Then, when it fell to the table next to it, everyone found that it had become an even bamboo skewer. If you dry them out, you can use them as incense.
"Good, great. ”
I have to say that Li Qingyun's hand is still very beautiful, and the people on the side applauded.
This kind of action can only be seen in some movies and TV series about the God of Food.
Those great cooks threw turnips into the sky, and then smacked them a few times, and when they fell, they became turnip slices.
But what they didn't expect was that Li Qingyun now performed such a powerful knife work for them on the spot.
Throw it into the air, wave your hand a few times, and then a good bamboo becomes a bamboo stick. In this cycle, soon, the bamboos on the table turned into bamboo skewers.
"Okay, okay, my son is the best. This is Zhao Hongfang shouting excitedly there.
"Brother, you are so amazing, how did you do it, teach me, teach me. ”
Li Qingsong's eyes lit up, if he learned this trick, when he returned to school, he didn't know how many beautiful eyebrows he would attract. Maybe you can conquer Ying'er too. Therefore, Li Qingsong made up his mind, this winter vacation, he must learn this trick.
