    After finishing the cotton gin, Lao Tie couldn't wait to study his stuff.  And Rou Niang was even more impatient to take the cotton gin home so that she could get rid of the seed cotton as soon as possible.  However, Li Feng continued to be busy, because there were still very important things to do.

    It wasn¡¯t until two days later that everything was ready, and everyone gathered together.  One by one, they all stared at Li Feng very curiously, wondering what he was going to do.

    "Fourth uncle, this is a shime thing." "Please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster! Such a big bow?"

    Looking at the object that looked like a curved bow in Li Feng's hand, Gao Yang looked left and right but couldn't see Shime's trick, and finally couldn't help but ask.

    "But, big brother, why did you see the bow and arrow? How do you use this big bow?"

    Gao Yang was not the only one who had doubts. Yaya looked at Pangbian for a long time and was also confused. When she saw Gao Yang talking, she couldn't wait to speak.

    "Haha, this bow does not require feathers and arrows, this is what we use"

    Looking at the confused people, Li Feng smiled, waved the gavel in his hand and said.

    "Okay, everyone, stop talking, we are about to start. Well, don't stand too close to each other."

    After everything was ready, Li Feng put a piece of cloth over his mouth and then gave instructions to everyone.  Look at the piece of cloth covering his face, it turns out to be something like a mask.

    ¡°Bang bang, buzz¡±

    As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, there were bursts of noises in the room.  At this moment, Li Feng was seen holding the giant bow in one hand.  The other hand began to swing the mallet, hitting the bowstring of the giant bow.  Of course, this is how the sound comes out.

    And as the sound came, snowflakes suddenly began to flutter in the room, and countless cotton wool began to be thrown into the air, white and colorful, which was really spectacular.

    ?? Cotton playing is an ancient craft, Li Feng Xiaoshihou.  It can often be seen in rural areas.  but.  With the development of society, this craft gradually withdrew from the stage of history and became very rare.

    However, for cotton.  Li Feng has a deep memory.  Think back to your childhood.  Whenever a cotton maker comes to the village.  Li Feng and his gang of children would follow closely behind them, running around with them to see how they could play cotton.  That shit.  They were all very curious about playing cotton Li Feng, and even thought it was very magical.

    Think about it, think about it, after some shabby cotton batting, these cotton craftsmen fiddled with it, and in a short time, a brand new white quilt appeared in front of you like magic. It is indeed a bit incredible.  In addition, the banging and buzzing sounds, like a passionate song, and the sight of fluttering cotton wool made the young Li Feng admire these cotton craftsmen.

    ¡°Ebony hammers, fir tips; golden roosters crow, snowflakes are falling.¡± This is the best interpretation of cotton-playing craftsmen¡¯s craftsmanship, and it is also the most vivid metaphor for people¡¯s work.

    The main purpose of elastic cotton is to use this technology to renovate the old cotton batting, making it fluffy and soft again, and the color is restored to white.  However, even new cotton must be processed in this way before it can be made into a warm quilt.

    The ancient craft of cotton playing is very unfamiliar to many modern people, including the younger generation.  In fact, not only that, it was also a very novel craft for the ancients who lived more than a thousand years ago.  Looking at Li Feng who was busy there, everyone was also stunned.

    "No, I have to take a break. Playing cotton is really not easy. Handicraft work is handicraft work."

    Not long after, Li Feng stopped what he was doing and said with emotion on his face.  Li Feng has no shortage of strength and will not be tired, but he lacks skills.  It is always difficult to control it well and let the cotton stick to the bowstring of the cotton bow.  Not being able to perform the light and elegant movements of those cotton craftsmen made Li Feng feel like he was too powerful to use.

    "Hehe, Brother Li, you still have more ideas. Now, the cotton has become fluffy. Brother Li, do you want to wait until all the cotton has been shot with a big bow, and then tie it up with these threads?  ,Is it right."

    As soon as Li Feng stopped, everyone immediately ran forward and began to examine it carefully.  Rou Niang grabbed a ball of cotton wool and immediately felt the difference.  Then, pointing to the thin thread on the side, he asked Li Feng.

    "Haha, you are smart, wife. That's right, wait a minute, after all the cotton is done, go online. Fix these fluffy cotton batting and shape it."

    I heard Rou NiangWhen asked this question, Li Feng immediately smiled and nodded in reply.  Indeed, after the cotton has been bounced, it needs to be put online.  Use countless fine yarns, criss-crossed, to fix the cotton batting.

    "Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, put it down and let me try it. It looks like it's fun to play cotton."

    Compared with what Rou Niang was paying attention to, Gao Yang was more interested in playing cotton. As soon as he finished speaking, he took the cotton bow from Li Feng's hand.  Then, impatiently, he began to imitate Li Feng and began to play cotton.  However, this girl is still just playing. It is a hammer here and a mallet here, and there is no rules at all.

    "Sister Yan, hurry up, it's my turn and Yaya's turn. You see you are tired. Take a rest."

    Of course Gao Yang was not the only one who thought playing cotton was fun. Yaya and Sizi beside them also had their little faces flushed and their little eyes were staring at Gao Yang.  Not long after seeing Gao Yang, Yi Jing started sweating on his pretty face, and Yaya immediately suggested a substitution.

    ¡°Oh, this cotton bow is too heavy and makes me exhausted, but it¡¯s really interesting.¡±

    Hearing what Yaya said, Gao Yang put the guy down very readily, and then said while breathing heavily.

    Yaya and Sizi were too young and weak to lift the heavy cotton bow, so the task of lifting the bow was naturally given to Li Feng.  The two little guys are just responsible for hitting the bow strings with mallets.  Gao Yang immediately started yelling, saying that Li Feng was unfair.

    Immediately, needless to say, there was a burst of sound of cotton playing and noisy laughter in the room.

    Playing cotton is definitely a very novel thing for everyone, and everyone is very curious and interested in it.  Finally, even Rou Niang and the others joined in, wanting to have a good time.

    "Sister Rou Niang, I want to try it too"

    Yang Jie can be said to be the quietest person. On weekdays, even at home, she rarely speaks.  Most of the time, she was so quiet on the side, watching everyone talking or playing with a smile on her face, like a snow lotus standing quietly in the mountains, holy, elegant and quiet.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because playing cotton is so novel. She, who was quiet about it, somehow got interested today and said to Rou Niang with a sweet smile.

    "Okay, Sister Yang, why don't we do it together? This cotton bow is quite heavy."

    Seeing that Yang Jie also had this interest, Rou Niang said to Yang Jie with a smile on her face.  For this sister, who is like a lily in the wind or a mountain snow lotus, everyone in the family likes her very much.

    "OK"

    Yang Jie readily agreed to what Rou Niang said.

    "Actually, Li Fengzhidao, even if Yang Jie looks weak, that's just on the surface.  In fact, she has considerable strength.  However, Li Feng didn't ask much about Yang Jie's previous affairs.  After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, she had gone through a lot of things, and Li Feng was of course unhappy.

    After a period of fun, all the cotton was finally scattered.  The next step is to start going online. This is a delicate job and requires a lot of patience.  For this, that is Rou Niang's specialty.  After a few efforts, he was able to outdo his master and leave the master Li Feng far behind.

    After finishing the thread, a wooden roller is used to press and grind the quilt.  The main purpose of this procedure is to make the quilt smoother and to make the yarns stick to the cotton batting more firmly to prevent them from falling off.

    After all these processes were completed, a brand new large quilt appeared in front of Li Feng.  Looking at the familiar quilt in front of him, Li Feng suddenly felt excited.

    "Wow, it's so soft and warm. It must be very comfortable to cover it when you sleep at night. Haha, it's great. I'll cover it when I sleep tonight."

    When the quilt is ready, everyone can¡¯t wait to feel what this so-called quilt is like.  However, it is obvious that this quilt will not disappoint everyone.  The soft and warm ganjiao immediately made everyone's faces show surprise and joy.

    Gao Yang couldn't wait to hold the piece of quilt in his arms. In that posture, Haoxiang was holding Shime like a treasure, holding on tightly, as if he was afraid that others would snatch her away.

    "No, this quilt is so comfortable. We should also cover ourselves with this quilt at night. Sizi and I are children. We are afraid of the cold at night, so it should be given to us. Sizi, don't you think so?"

    Before Gao Yang finished speaking, Yaya stopped immediately.  This quilt is so comfortable, she also wants to sleep late?Covered.  For this reason, Xiao Sizi was also brought to the common front.

    In fact, Yaya didn¡¯t need to encourage her at all. From Sizi¡¯s red little face and wide-open eyes, she could tell that the quilt in front of her was also extremely tempting to her.  After hearing Yaya's words, he immediately turned his head and looked at Gao Yang.  Although he didn't speak, the meaning in his expression was obvious.

    "I say you girls, you are in a hurry. This is not done yet. Rouniang, Xiaojie, you guys sew the quilt first. Otherwise, you won't be able to resist a few twists and turns."

    It¡¯s not enough to just have a quilt. It doesn¡¯t even have a quilt cover.  It is much more convenient to use a quilt cover directly, but covering it up is not as comfortable as sewing it directly with the quilt cover.  (To be continued)
