Surprise! The Queen Mother became famous all over the world by pioneering new things

Chapter 207 Write Spring Festival couplets and make firecrackers

Uncle Ge beside him couldn't help admiring.

Shi Miao is really able to give everyone a surprise every once in a while, capable of writing and martial arts, I really don't know how many things she is good at.

"The writing is so good, when Shi Miao has time, write a picture for me. It happens that the room is empty. I take it and hang it in the room. It is also pleasing to the eye."

Looking at Shi Miao's words, Zhou Youcai couldn't help opening his mouth.

He has been out and about all year round, and has seen a lot of calligraphy and paintings. Although he is a half-baked person, he can still feel that there is still a certain gap between the calligraphy written by those respected and old calligraphers compared with Shi Miao. One pair is hung in the house, and it will be extraordinarily respectable for others to see in the future.

"I want me too!"

Gu Tianjiao on the side couldn't help but speak.

Although she doesn't like studying, out of admiration for Shi Miao, she thinks it's very good to hang a pair of Shi Miao's calligraphy in the house.

"Okay, okay, if you like it, I will write a picture for each of you later."

Shi Miao chuckled lightly, feeling very good.

"Great!"

Although Miya didn't know calligraphy, she couldn't help but speak excitedly.

There are no bad things from Shi Miao, she likes them all.

After another ten minutes, Shi Miao finished writing all the couplets, looked at Xu Yi and Zhou Youcai who were sitting together playing backgammon and smiled: "Okay, the couplets are finished, you two can go and post them."

Because there is no such thing as adhesive tape and glue, Liu Ailing used the oldest method, using flour to stir a little flour paste, and asked Xu Yi and Zhou Youcai to paint the wall with a brush while the other took the couplet and carefully started from the gate. Room to room stickers.

Shi Miao took advantage of this time to use a few blank sheets of paper that Gu Ao had brought back from Uncle Ge, and because the size of the sheets was limited, he wrote a large character on each sheet.

"Okay, you can pick your own later, I'll go tinker with some firecrackers, and it's festive enough to set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve."

After getting clean water, rinsing the nib and the bowl filled with carbon water and putting them in the cabinet, Shi Miao went out with a smile.

When Miya, who was cutting window grilles, heard that Shi Miao was going to tinker with firecrackers, she immediately became interested. She quickly put down the scissors and the half-cut window grilles in her hand, and followed Shi Miao to the yard.

"Sister Shi Miao, how to make firecrackers, I want to learn with you!"

Miya excitedly followed Shi Miao to the base of the shed, and watched Shi Miao walk to the pile of bamboo, with a strong desire for knowledge in her eyes.

"The method of making firecrackers is relatively simple. Select a few bamboos of about the same thickness, and use a saw to saw them into a finger-length bamboo node. Then mix saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal in a certain proportion, and then string these firecrackers with ropes. Just hang them in a string on a stick to ignite, and the firecrackers will make a crackling sound."

Shi Miao lightly smiled and told Miya the principle, then proceeded to pick a few bamboo poles of similar thickness from the pile in front of him and hug them up, then took the saw from the basket not far away, took it under the eaves and started sawing one by one. up.

"But sister Shi Miao, the saltpeter and sulfur you just mentioned, do we have that thing? Should we go out and look for it?"

Miya watched Shi Miao's operation, and a golden light appeared in her eyes unconsciously.

If there is nothing, it means that she can go out with Shi Miao to look for it and take a stroll outside.

Since the last time they went out to play, she was too playful to come back and accidentally lay down with a cold for two days, and we never went out to play together again, and she was about to go crazy.

In the past two days, the weather has finally begun to heat up slowly, and the snow outside has almost melted, so her small thoughts naturally became active again.

"Don't dream, I already found all these things when I went out the other day, and I'll just take them out and grind them up later."

Shi Miao raised her head, with a sly smile in her eyes.

Miya is so small, how could she not understand.

It's just that the weather has started to warm up slowly, which means that the beasts that have shrunk for a winter should come out in large numbers. For the New Year's Eve, she doesn't want to go out to fight and see blood.

It's better to spend a new year with everyone, and rest peacefully for a few days.

After all, in a few more days, when the weather warms up and everything recovers, it's time for everyone to start the next busy life.

"That's it, okay, if there is anything I can do for you, I'll help you."

Miya couldn't help curling her lips lightly, and the excitement in her heart was instantly extinguished.

"Look at it obediently. Just wait for me to finish the ingredients later, and help me put them into the bamboo joints. You don't have to be sad and can't go out to play. Firecrackers are very fun. I will make them later." Order a single and independent one, and save it for you two days to play, in my memory, many children love this, and you should like it too."

"OK then."

In the chatting with each other, Shi Miao made five or six strings of firecrackers.

In Dachu, it is enough to set off firecrackers on the th day, the first day of the new year, and the th day of the new year, but in the custom of Shuilanxing, it seems that everyone should set off firecrackers every day from the th day of the new year to the third day of the new year. .

Since she chose to integrate into this place, Shi Miao naturally chose to follow the customs of Shui Lanxing.

In addition, everyone has stayed here for so long. Although several families meet every day and talk a lot every day, there are only less than people in the end, and everyone can basically do nothing in the winter. There is no electricity, no Internet, and those relatives whom I haven’t seen for a long time, after all, I still feel too clean and lonely.

The firecrackers are crackling when they are set off, and the sound is lively and festive, which can make everyone happier.

After that, Shi Miao took Miya to make a bunch of small firecrackers that could be set off on the ground. After giving Miya a few, the others were put away in the house for the time being.

Although it was her first time playing with firecrackers, Miya was very courageous. She took a lighted candle and carefully ignited the twister of the firecrackers, and then quickly stepped back a few steps.

A few seconds later, a "bang" sounded in the yard.

The abrupt and loud voice startled many unprepared people.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

Xu Yi, who had just finished pasting the Spring Festival couplets next door, was taken aback, and ran in quickly without putting down the pot in his hand.

Behind him, Zhou Youcai and Uncle Ge, who was going to feed the animals, also ran in worriedly one after the other.

Mia, who didn't think it was particularly fun, couldn't help but laugh.

Compared with the sound of firecrackers exploding directly into the ears, it seems more fun to see everyone frightened at the moment.
