- Chapter 481 Stone Lamp
Since then, the mouse has been out of control. Whenever they eat walnuts or peanuts, this guy always squats in front of everyone and stares at the food until they feed it.
If you don¡¯t give it, it will stand up and growl at you, just like a child asking an adult for food.
If you don¡¯t give it, it will jump on you without hesitation, stand on its hind legs and use its front paws to pull the walnuts out of your hand to eat them.
Now, every time Zhang Qian eats pecans, she has to take good care of the three little ones at home, Wukong, Dot and Mouse, but she always lets them peel and eat them by themselves.
"Is this still a clouded leopard? You really treat it like a pet." Suna Na was speechless again as she watched the little clouded leopard smash and eat walnuts.
When Liu Junqi called the next day, Liu Junhao thought he still needed eel blood, so he hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Brother Junqi, if the eel blood doesn't work, you'd better send people to the streets as soon as possible. This kind of facial paralysis is like no other disease. It's a delay." Facial nerve necrosis can be difficult to cure if it lasts too long.¡±
"Don't worry, I applied it yesterday morning and it was all healed by lunch time. He kept thanking me. I called you today for something else."
"What are you doing?" Liu Junhao asked casually.
"I went up the mountain a few days ago and found a nest of wild bees on the crucian carp bones. I want to catch them and raise them. I just made six beehives. You can help carry them up the mountain."
"Fengguan? Brother Junqi, are you trying to catch the kind of gray-black bees?" Liu Junhao really didn't expect that after the failure of beekeeping last year, this man still didn't give up. He still planned to go up the mountain to catch bees this year, especially this time. Eyes on wild bees.
In the eyes of ordinary people, bees that produce honey are generally called bees. In fact, there are many kinds of bees, and there are four or five kinds in Daqingshan alone. In addition to the very rare local bees in Liu Junhao's courtyard, there are also black bees, medium bees and a small khaki bee.
Normal bees are easy to catch as long as they find the nest, but this gray-black wild bee is different. It is venomous and alert. As soon as it detects an invasion from a foreign enemy, it will immediately swarm it.
Liu Junhao and his friends were stung by this kind of bee when they went up the mountain to get honey when they were children. At that time, the guy's face was swollen like a steamed bun. It took a week for the swelling to go away. Later, a few pockmarks were left on his face, which have not gone away now.
Since then, they have known that this kind of wild bee should not be messed with, and they rarely have the idea of ??nesting.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Liu Junqi was so courageous that he actually planned to raise this thing.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already taken care of the situation, so I don¡¯t need anyone to step in.¡± Liu Junqi comforted him on the phone.
"The key is where you caught it and kept it?" Liu Junhao asked.
"We'll wait until we get it back. Come to my house first and help lift the bee gate."
Fengguan is a tool used to raise wild bees in rural areas. The pine wood is directly split into two halves, and a wooden groove is hollowed out in the middle every four centimeters. Each wooden groove is about two centimeters wide.
The whole piece of pine wood is cut into eight to ten wooden grooves according to its length and thickness. After it is finished, it is carried to the mountain and placed near the honeycomb or where wild flowers are in bloom. This season is the time to catch wild bees. Generally, wild bees will build a nest in a wooden trough within ten and a half days.
However, wild bees are very aggressive and must be fully armed if they want to collect honey. Even if they are not careful, they will be caught.
In the early years, many people kept wild bees. Later, due to the low honey production, they were gradually abandoned.
Seeing his persistence, Liu Junhao had no choice but to say hello to his wife and led Zhou Wei over to help.
This person made a lot of noise, and even called a few tourists to go up the mountain, not afraid of being stung later.
There is no difficulty in placing the beehive. Liu Junqi knows the location of the beehive and can just place it nearby.
A tourist was taking photos on a tree, but he didn¡¯t look at the road under his feet, staggered and almost fell.
"Be careful," Liu Junhao warned hurriedly.
"It's okay, I stepped on a rock." The tourist straightened up and was about to turn away when he suddenly squatted down again.
¡°Old Wang, have you found the treasure yet?¡± The people together joked with a smile.
"It's really a treasure, maybe it's a bronze"
Although there was nothing valuable in the ancient tomb discovered by digging a well many years ago, it was confirmed that there were many cultural relics underground near Liujiagou. Many tourists pick up bricks and broken pieces of porcelain from the fields and always go to the village to find someone to identify them.
"Bronze, you are fooling the devil" A group of people didn't believe it at all. The tourist pulled a few times and pulled out a cylindrical object from the mud. It's really a bronze vessel It's made of copper, covered with blue-black patina.
"It's really an antique. Look for it quickly. There must be an ancient tomb nearby. I would have looked."?This place is surrounded by water and mountains, so it is definitely a geomantic treasure. "One tourist thought it was a matter of hindsight.
"That's nonsense" as soon as he said it, his companion curled his lips, obviously not believing it.
This thing was passed around among everyone, and no one knew what it was for.
¡°There is something real¡± A tourist kicked twice where the bronze was found, and a big hole was made.
"Let me just say it, let me just say itan absolute ancient tomb." The previous tourist became even more excited.
Several people hurriedly peeled away the floating soil above, only to find a wooden box buried underneath. The wood the box was made of was rotten, and the kick just now happened to break it into pieces.
When they scrambled to take out the box, they saw an oilcloth package inside.
Everyone was very excited and speculated that there might be a treasure hidden inside, so they unanimously suggested that the package should be packed.
Who knew that when they opened it, they were dumbfounded. There was no gold and silver treasure as they imagined, but a few black stones that looked very similar to coal.
"Meteorite outside the sky" A tourist has a good imagination and guessed it directly.
"Xiaohao, do you recognize it?" Liu Junqi took a piece and looked at it twice, already knowing what it was.
"Why don't you recognize it? It's just carbide. This thing should be a carbide lamp." Knowing the name of the stone in his hand, the name of the bronze vessel was also ready to come out. Liu Junhao felt like it before, but he was not sure for a while.
"Well, I think so too." Liu Junqi nodded.
¡°What is calcium carbide?¡± The tourist who shouted the loudest just turned around and asked.
"Calcium carbide is an ore we often refer to. When calcium carbide is placed in water, it will bubble and produce a flammable gas, which is acetylene. In the early years, there were no electric lights in Liujiagou, and diesel was too expensive, so people Invent a lamp for burning calcium carbide, this is it"
Liu Junhao pointed to the bronze lamp and explained, "The calcium carbide lamp is divided into two sections. The upper section contains water and the lower section contains calcium carbide. There is also a screw in the upper section that holds water, which controls the amount of water dripping into the lower section that contains calcium carbide. , thus generating acetylene that can light the lamp, and the acetylene spurts out from the lamp head to form a flame. The size of the flame is also controlled by the screw needle. The more water the screw needle releases, the bigger the flame of the carbide lamp. This carbide lamp is probably exposed to rain. Over time, the patina on it became too thick, so the screw needles couldn¡¯t be seen clearly.¡±
Regarding calcium carbide lamps, Liu Junhao once heard his grandfather talk about them. This thing has appeared very early. In the past, people dug coal and used this kind of electric lamp for lighting underground. However, this thing is fine when used up top, but it is very dangerous to put it underground. It is responsible for many gas explosions in mines.
In the early years, we ate in big pots, and there were two large calcium carbide lamps made of clay in the village. The light was so dazzling that if two carbide lamps were lit during meals, half of the village could be illuminated at once. Moreover, if there is any business in the village, they will usually borrow a large carbide lamp from the team.
"No, why haven't I heard of carbide lamps?" The tourist who unearthed the bronze couldn't accept this fact at all.
"You'll know if it's true or not after you try it. Which one of you has water?" Liu Junqi said, taking the carbide lamp and twisting it a few times to turn the screw.
A tourist had already handed over the kettle. He poured some water into it, put the calcium carbide in, closed the lid, and took out a lighter to light it.
If the calcium carbide is not sealed well, it will weather into calcium carbide. Once it weathers into carbide surface, it becomes useless and can no longer be used.
The few pieces of calcium carbide in front of me were sealed with oilcloth and were not weathered, and the hissing flames immediately burst out.
Several tourists' eyes widened and they exclaimed: "This thing is really a carbide lamp, it's really cool"
"It's nothing. In the early years, there were a lot of calcium carbide lamps in our village, but such exquisite ones are indeed rare." Most of the carbide lamps used in Liujiagou were made of iron sheets. This kind of special carbide lamps should have been produced in the mines in the past. Special, I don¡¯t know why it was left here.
Then, Liu Junqi smiled and asked, "Xiao Hao, do you still remember the good things you and Qi Yong did?"
"Why don't you remember?" Liu Junhao also laughed.
Since Liu Junhao can remember, this carbide lamp has rarely been used in homes, and later it completely withdrew from the stage of history.
His clearest memory was that he and Liu Qiyong once played with a calcium carbide lamp. The two of them got annoyed for some reason while playing with it, and finally threw all the calcium carbide into the pit of the toilet in a fit of anger.
At that time, the cesspools in rural toilets were dug into large pools, and they were only dug out every few months. Therefore, feces often fermented to produce gas methane.
Not long after they threw the carbide into the toilet, Liu Qiyong¡¯s father went to the toilet with a cigarette in his mouth. After smoking, he threw the cigarette butt into the pit.
The result is as you can imagine, acetylene and methane burn at the same time. ?With a "boom" sound, a small explosion occurred in the simple toilet. Liu Qiyong's father was so frightened that he didn't even fasten his belt and rushed out with his pants lifted.
Later, I found out that it was my son who caused the trouble, and I gave Liu Qiyong a good beating.
"A carbide lamp is just a carbide lamp, maybe this thing is still a cultural relic." The tourist finally thought, this thing is very commemorative, at least it can be sold for dozens of yuan in copper.
Suna Na and Zhou Wei are both working people. They stayed in Liujiagou for two days and then left in a hurry, not even bothering to drink the two little guys' full moon wine.
Zhang Qian did not try to persuade her to stay, but asked her husband to pick a few large watermelons for them to take with them before leaving.
When the two little ones were one month old, and after drinking the full moon wine, Zhang Ma saw that the school was on holiday, and Liu Junhao came over alone to do the household chores. There was really nothing he needed help from, so he returned to the city with peace of mind.
As soon as the old lady was sent away, Zhang Qian¡¯s cousin He Yifan called and said that she was impatient with her parents¡¯ nagging and wanted to go to Liujiagou during the summer vacation.
Of course, his intention was to come to Liujiagou to ask his cousin to help him review his homework. Zhang Qian's aunt and uncle also agreed that since Liujiagou was so far away from the city, He Yifan's gang of bad friends would at least not affect their children.
It¡¯s okay to come, Zhang Qian said first, you are not allowed to touch the computer when you come.
He Yifan agreed immediately on the phone and rushed to Liujiagou with his backpack on his back the next day.
This naughty child has finally grown up, and he even knew how to bring several sets of toys for the two children when he came here.
