Chapter 342 Firecrackers
However, people's wisdom is infinite. Since gunpowder is no longer available, some people soon thought of traditional firecrackers, so in some festive times, there were no firecrackers, and then some people found some bamboo and put them on the fire When it burns to the bamboo joint, it will be violent, and then it will make a 'bang bang' sound.

In fact, the ancient Huaxia people did this, which is why firecrackers are still called firecrackers in many places.

On New Year's Eve, how can you not listen to the sound.

According to ancient legends, there is a monster named "Nian" who will come out to make trouble every New Year's Eve, but he is afraid of fire and noise, so people have the custom of setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve.

Although many people now know that it is just a legend, the custom passed down for thousands of years has long become a habit, and it is not so easy to change.

No, Li Qingyun hadn't finished posting the couplets yet, so my father came to him and asked him to get some bamboos. When he came back, they would burn firecrackers to hear the sound.

Well, my dad has already spoken, what else can Li Qingyun say, so I have to hand over the matter of pasting couplets to Li Qinglin, let him take a few younger brothers to complete this task, and he also rode out on horseback.

In fact, there are many bamboo sellers on the street at this time. Hua-xia people are very good at doing business, and they have endured hardships. Many people have seen this business opportunity, and they can sell some bamboo for money. Such a good thing , of course it cannot be missed.

But Li Qingyun didn't go to them to buy them.

After all, it's not easy for others to get it back. If it's very tiring, Li Qingyun doesn't have to grab it from others. Anyway, it's not too difficult for him.

He was very happy, so he rode his horse to a deserted place, and then his people disappeared in a flash. Unfortunately, no one saw Li Qingyun disappear.

When Li Qingyun appeared again, he was already far away from the Wulin 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 a bamboo sea.

At a glance, you can't see the end.Here are all some bamboos.

The reason why Li Qingyun came here was because there were some mutated bamboos here.

They are not thick, and the thickest ones are only the size of a ping-pong ball.

However, their texture is very hard, and they can bear more weight than many bamboos with thick bowl mouths.

The reason why Li Qingyun took a fancy to it was not just because of this, but because it had a natural fragrance.

If it is burned, it can be used directly as sandalwood.This can be said to be a natural spice.

Li Qingyun also discovered its existence by accident.

Although this world is his, there are some animals and plants that are evolving every day, and he can't control it at all. Unless he deliberately understands it, otherwise, he can't know everything.

When Dad was talking about firecrackers just now, Li Qingyun immediately thought of these bamboos.

Soon, Li Qingyun found the bamboo he wanted in the bamboo sea.

I haven't taken care of them for a long time, and they have grown a large piece.

Li Qingyun quickly cut down about 20 bamboos, and after removing all their branches, more than [-] bamboos were bundled together, which is not a lot.But the weight is not small.

But to Li Qingyun, this is really nothing.

Soon, he returned to Xinmin City with bamboo.

For Li Qingyun's appearance, no one found it unexpected, Li Qingyun asked the black dragon horse to drag the bamboo, and slowly walked home.

This didn't attract too many people's attention.

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 them, and there are really not many people like you Li Qingyun who use horses to pull them.

After all, horses are very precious in this martial arts continent.

"The firecrackers are coming, come and help me get them."

"Come on, come on, brother, let's come, haha."

As soon as they heard Li Qingyun's voice, Li Qinglin and his boys ran out.

Boys are always more playful. When they were on earth, during Chinese New Year, they did not play less with firecrackers.

Li Qingyun threw bamboo to them, and then drove the black dragon horse to the stable in the backyard.

When he first came out, he saw a big iron barrel appearing in the front yard at some point, the kind of big iron barrel used to hold diesel oil that is common outside, but at this time, it was cut off Upper half,
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 bamboo that Li Qingyun brought back into small bamboo joints, and then began to throw them into the fire bucket.

As soon as Li Qingyun came out, he heard a "boom".

Well, the iron bucket also has a sound bonus, not to mention Li Qingyun, even Li Qinglin and the others beside him were also taken aback.

Unexpectedly, there will be such a loud voice.

The sound was ringing, and everyone in the family was invited.

"What's ringing?"

"What are you burning? It smells so good. It smells good."

People who come to the front yard, everyone has a different focus.Soon they were chatting there.

"Bang bang."

But compared to the explosion, their voices were really nothing.At this time, there were explosions in the iron barrel one after another, and their voices were suppressed long ago.

I don't know why, but hearing the sound of firecrackers, the family also became excited from the inside.No wonder so many people want to set off firecrackers when they are celebrating. It seems that there is a reason for this.

Li Qingjing hid far away by herself, but at this moment, she was yelling at Li Qingsong and the others, "Throw it quickly, continue, there is no sound."

Lin Yunfei and the others were startled at first.After recovering, I immediately pulled a bamboo not far away and started sawing.

After all, the iron bucket was not big, and it was impossible to fit the whole bamboo, so they had to saw it before throwing it in.

So there are more bamboos with no heads on both sides.Probably only a little longer than chopsticks.

Li Qingyun walked over and picked them all up.

Then he walked to Li Qingjing and the others.

"Didn't you just ask, why is it so fragrant? Let me tell you, it's the bamboo. Smell it."

"Ah, really, it smells so good, 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 and the two aunts Tan Qingrou and Li Qingyun also surrounded her.

Whether it is a girl or a woman, they all like fragrant things very much.Otherwise, those perfumes would not be so popular.

Li Qingyun was very happy, and they pushed them out of the circle.

Li Qingyun shrugged his shoulders and stopped participating.

The firecrackers are still going on, and the scent in the compound is getting stronger and stronger.Not to mention those women, not the old men like Li Youde and the others, at this time, Yifu also enjoys sniffing the fragrance in the air.

"Li Youde, come here quickly."

"Come on, do you have any orders?"

"Well, these bamboos are handed over to you, you can make them into bamboo sticks."

"what"

"Ah, what? I haven't done bamboo crafting for a long time. I'm afraid that your skills are unfamiliar. I'll use them to practice for you."

When Li Youde heard what his wife said, he didn't know what to say, you are really a good wife, you are so considerate of me, but why, he felt that they were all trying to catch young men.

Although he was depressed, he still had to do what his wife told him to do.

But he fixed his eyes on Li Qingyun in a blink of an eye.Xin said, boy, you made it all up, I'm having a hard time, and you don't want to take it easy.

"Li Qingyun, come here and make bamboo sticks for me. If you don't finish it, you are not allowed to eat."

Well, Li Youde is even more ruthless, and he is not allowed to eat until it is finished.

Li Qingyun looked at his father dumbfounded, and thought, I'm not like you, I really don't know if I am your biological son, is there such a thing as a cheating son?
But he just thought about it, and it's over, he still has to complete the task.

But fortunately, Li Qingyun is not an ordinary person, and he doesn't need to cut slowly with a knife like the traditional rural way.

I don't know where Li Qingyun took out a small knife, and then saw him pick up a bamboo next to him, throw it up, and then waved his right hand at the bamboo a few times.

Then when it fell on the table next to it, everyone found that it had turned into even bamboo sticks.After drying them, they can also be used as incense.

"Amazing."

What I have to say is that Li Qingyun's hand is still very beautiful, and everyone around him applauds it.

This kind of action can only be seen in some movies and TV series about the God of Cookery.

Those powerful chefs throw the radishes into the sky, and then swish them a few times, and when they fall, they become sliced ​​radishes.

But what they didn't expect was that Li Qingyun performed such a powerful knife skill 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.After such a cycle, soon, all the bamboos on the table became bamboo sticks.

"Okay, okay, my son is the best." Zhao Hongfang shouted excitedly there.

"Brother, you are amazing, how did you do it, teach me, teach me."

Li Qingsong's eyes lit up. If he learns this trick, he will attract the attention of many girls when he returns to school.Maybe Yinger can be conquered too.Therefore, Li Qingsong made up his mind, this winter vacation, he must learn this trick.
