As the oldest folk fireworks, the iron flower is a folk cultural performance technique discovered by ancient Chinese craftsmen in the process of casting utensils, which has been passed down for thousands of years.

Before the performance, the craftsmen will choose an open site and build a double-decker trellis about six meters high, densely covered with fresh willow branches, and tie fireworks to the willow branches.

There is a furnace not far away, and five or six performers take turns to hit the iron juice with a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees with flower sticks to the shed, forming an iron flower more than ten meters high, and the iron flower immediately lights a firecracker, with a dragon dance performance, the scene is spectacular.

It can be described as both thrilling and exciting, lively and festive.

Now, the iron flower has become a national intangible cultural heritage.

At eight o'clock, the iron flower performance officially began.

The performers, bare-haired, shuttled under the trellises, and they struck the molten iron, which turned into iron wires and floated high in the air.

Li Jing, Zhao Haojie and others are difficult to describe their mood at the moment in words, and they can only stop lying in the groove.

Li Jing pulled Qin Feng and asked, "Brother Feng, Brother Feng, why are they all shirtless? What about not wearing clothes?"

Qin Feng replied with a smile, "They are afraid that the iron wire will set their clothes on fire."

"Damn, aren't they afraid of being burned?"

"Skilled craftsmen don't have to worry at all, because they can hit the molten iron very high, and when the wire falls, it's fine, and they can do it without hurting others or burning themselves."

"Awesome, but, Brother Feng, they can do it, can we do it? My hands are useless." Li Jing said worriedly.

Qin Feng replied with a smile, "You have more than just hands."

"Brother Feng hates it, and he exposes people's shortcomings."

"When the time comes, the five of you will be in charge of the dragon dance, and I will fight the iron flower."

"Hey, no problem, I'm the best at dragon dancing."

"Hmm."

At the end of the performance that night, Qin Feng and several people apprenticed overnight.

At first, the blacksmiths laughed when they heard that they wanted to learn how to make iron flowers.

Of course, this kind of laughter is not ridicule, but happiness from the bottom of the heart.

Because of this kind of intangible cultural heritage, everyone likes to watch it now, but they don't want to learn it, let alone a performance with a certain degree of danger.

The craftsman smiled and said to Qin Feng, "Little dolls, you can't beat this thing, it's easy to get burned if you're not careful, it's too dangerous."

Another craftsman said, "Yes, we're glad you came all the way to see it."

In this regard, Qin Feng said politely: "Masters, playing iron flowers is our cultural heritage in China, I really want to learn, as for the danger, I am not afraid, I think I can do it."

Li Jing, Zhao Haojie, Guo Tao and others said together: "Yes, yes, master, he can do it, he can do it."

Seeing that Qin Feng was so stubborn, the craftsman scooped him a bowl of water with a spoon, and then said, "Whether it is possible to hit the iron flower or not, the key depends on whether the fight is high enough, you can try it."

"Okay."

Qin Feng took the flower stick and spoon, ready to try it.

Then, Qin Feng hit the spoon hard with a flower stick, and the water splashed high, and the craftsmen were stunned.

Li Jing, Zhao Haojie and others were even more dumbfounded, good guy, Brother Feng is really awesome, and he made a splash of nearly fifteen meters when he came up.

When the talent is awakened, everything becomes handy.

Seeing this, the old craftsman couldn't help but praise: "I'm good, good boy, my arm strength is okay."

Another master also smiled and praised, "This kid was born to be the piece of iron, hahahaha."

Qin Feng was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still said happily, "So, are several masters willing to accept me as an apprentice?"

"Harvest, harvest, of course, we also hope that this iron flower can bloom in the big city." The old master said.

"Okay, I'll study hard."

At this time, the master handed the spoon and flower stick to Li Jing and the others, and signaled, "Don't

Let's take a look and try it."

Li Jing and the others were eager to try, but unfortunately, the wine had already hollowed them out.

Li Jing's splash was less than five meters,Zhao Haojie laughed and said:"Little Lizi,I'll just say you can't do it.,It's only five meters.,You're a shame for our contemporary college students。

Guo Tao sighed and said, "Xiao Lizi, let's just say that you have kidney deficiency, you were still hard-mouthed before, but now it's confirmed."

Li Jing's old face turned red, and he said to Zhao Haojie, "Brother Jie, if you come to fight, I don't believe it, you fight higher than me."

"Look, I have to make a 10-meter splash with this one, we don't have any other skills, we just know how to fight."

As we all know,Zhao Haojie only has a hard mouth all over his body。

Sure enough,Zhao Haojie didn't hit much higher,At most half a meter taller than Li Jing。

This time it was Li Jing's turn to laugh.

Li Jing giggled and said, "Brother Jie, let's not laugh at anyone."

In the end, Li Jing and the others failed the assessment, and they couldn't beat the iron flower, so they could only go to the dragon dance, but this also happened to be in line with their wishes.

After the masters decided to accept the apprentices, Qin Feng took his brothers to kneel down immediately, and then kowtowed.

This is the rule, you must kowtow before recognizing the master, one day as a teacher, and a lifetime as a father.

Starting tonight, Qin Feng began to learn to play iron flowers.

The three-day deadline was about to pass halfway, but Qin Feng was still full of confidence.

On the other hand, thousands of miles away in the magic capital, Jiang Xiaqing and Li Lingjia are also facing an unprecedented test.

"Wow, it's really hard to knead the dough, why are the bananas I steamed so soft and crawling?" Jiang Xiaqing said bitterly.

Obviously, the steps and processes are all learned from the top culinary master Uncle Lee, but when it is steamed, it is not the same.

Li Lingjia said with a smile, "Maybe your banana wasn't sprayed, hahahaha."

Jiang Xia Qing said angrily, "Still laughing and laughing, what's the matter, is your cucumber very successful?"

"Not successful, but at least harder than yours, hahahaha."

The two girls were struggling, but neither gave up.

The faces of the two of them were even more stained with flour, which made them even more cute.

Jiang Xiaqing kept trying and never gave up.

She couldn't help but say to her best friend, "If Qin Feng knew that we were preparing gifts so carefully, he would definitely be very happy."

Li Lingjia said with a smile: "Don't be moved by yourself, eldest miss, at the current level of the two of us, are you sure that the dough fruit made the day after tomorrow can be delivered?" Don't steam persimmons that don't look as good as steamed buns."

"Oh, don't say it, I'm constantly improving."

At this time, Li Lingjia suddenly quipped and asked, "Qingqing, let me ask you a question."

"Ask."

Li Lingjia cleared his throat and said, "Something, the hotter it is, the harder it is, the colder it is, the softer it is."

When Jiang Xiaqing heard this non-human question, he immediately thought for a while, what is the hotter and harder, the colder and softer?

Jiang Xiaqing was innocent and immaculate, and didn't seem to realize that something was wrong.

Li Lingjia prompted: "You don't like to eat this thing, but I love to eat it."

Jiang Xiaqing was even more puzzled now.

"Can you still eat?" Jiang Xia Qing asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's super delicious, and it must be eaten hot, soaked in soy milk." Li Lingjia replied.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaqing was as if he had opened his mind, and he was so shy that his face was red.

She pointed at Li Lingjia and said, "Jiajia, you are so dirty, why do you like to eat that kind of thing? Besides, it's not for food, ahhhhhh

Li Lingjia explained with a smile: "Fritters, I'm talking about fritters, fool, what do you want to be?"

When Jiang Xiaqing heard that it was a fritter, she suddenly realized, she showed an embarrassed smile and said, "Ah, I misunderstood, I'm sorry."

Li Lingjia was unrelenting and said, "Say, what do you want to do?"

"Oh, no, I'm just ...... Only...

…」

"Say it or not, say it or not." Li Lingjia started to burp Jiang Xiaqing.

"Hahahaha, don't make trouble, it's time, let's see what this cage looks like."

Time flies, and it's almost Saturday, which is my birthday.
