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 the seed cotton could be processed as soon as possible.However, Li Feng is still busy, because there is still one very important thing that has not been done.

It wasn't until two days later that everything was ready, and all the people waited to gather together.One by one, they all stared at Li Feng very curiously, not understanding what he was going to do.

"Fourth Uncle, what is this? Such a big bow?"

Looking at what looked like a bow in Li Feng's hands, Gao Yang looked left and right but didn't see any tricks, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"But, big brother, why didn't you see the bow and arrow. Without a bow and arrow, how can you use this big bow?"

It wasn't just Gao Yang who was suspicious, Yaya looked around for a long time, but she was also confused, when she saw Gao Yang speak, she couldn't wait to talk about it.

"Hehe, this bow doesn't need feather arrows, we use this one"

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

"Okay, everyone, don't talk, we're about to start. Well, don't stand too close"

After everything was ready, Li Feng covered his mouth with a piece of cloth, and then gave instructions to everyone.Looking at the cloth covering his face, it turned out to be something like a mask.

"Boom, buzz"

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, there were bursts of noises in the room.At this moment, Li Feng was holding that huge bow-like thing in one hand.The other hand began to swing the mallet, striking on the bowstring of the giant bow.The sound, of course, is how it came out.

And as the sound came, the room began to start to flutter like snowflakes, and countless cotton waddings began to be thrown into the air continuously, and the white flowers were truly spectacular.

Popping cotton is an ancient craft.Li Feng was often seen in the countryside when he was young.However, with the development of society, this craft has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, and it is very rare to see.

However, for bouncing cotton.Li Feng has a deep memory.Recalling my childhood, whenever a cotton maker came to the village, Li Feng and his group of children would follow him, running around with them to watch the cotton plucking.At that time, they were very curious about Li Feng playing cotton.Even, I think this thing is very magical.

Think about it too.Think about it, some worn-out cotton wadding, after these cotton craftsmen fiddle with it, it won't take long for a brand new and clean white quilt to appear in front of you like a magic trick, which is really unbelievable.Plus, that burst of bang bang buzzing sound.Like a passionate song, and the scene of fluttering cotton wool.It made Li Feng adore these cotton craftsmen when he was a child.

"Sandalwood hammer, fir tree tip; golden rooster crows, snowflakes drift" This is the best interpretation of cotton plucking craftsmen for their craftsmanship, and it is also the most vivid metaphor for people's work.

The main purpose of plucking cotton is to renovate the old cotton wool through this technique, so that it can be fluffy and soft again, and the color can also be restored to whiteness.However, even if it is new cotton, it must be processed in this way before it can be made into a large warm quilt.

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

"It can't be done, I have to take a break, this cotton picking is really not easy. Handicraft work is handicraft work."

Not long after, Li Feng stopped what he was doing and said with emotion.Li Feng does not lack strength, and he will not be tired, but he does not have skills.Always poor control, let those cotton stick to the bowstring of the cotton bow.Not being able to perform the light and elegant movements of those cotton makers made Li Feng feel that he had nowhere to use his strength.

"Hehe, Brother Li, you have many ways. Now it's done, the cotton has become fluffy. Brother Li, do you wait until the cotton is all shot with a big bow, and then use these threads to tie them up? ,Is it right."

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

"Hehe, you are smart, daughter-in-law. That's right, wait a minute, after finishing all the cotton, it will go online. Fix these fluffy cotton wool and shape it."

Hearing Rou Niang's question, Li Feng immediately answered with a smile and nodded.Indeed, after the cotton is ready, it needs to be on the line.Use countless spun yarns, criss-crossing, to fix these battings.

"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, put it down, let me try it, it looks like playing cotton is fun"

Compared with what Rou Niang was concerned about, Gao Yang was more interested in playing cotton. As soon as he finished speaking, he had already taken the cotton bow in Li Feng's hand.Then, impatiently, he began to imitate Li Feng's appearance and began to flick the cotton.However, this girl is still just playing with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and there is no way to speak of it at all.

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

Gao Yang couldn't be the only one who thought it was fun to play cotton, and Yaya and Sizi beside him also had red faces and small eyes staring at Gao Yang.Not long after seeing Gao Yang, her pretty face was already sweating, and Yaya immediately suggested a replacement.

"Oh, this cotton bow is really too heavy, it's exhausting me, but it's really interesting."

Hearing what Yaya said, Gao Yang put the guy down very readily, and then said in a heavy breath.

Yaya and Sizi were still too young and weak to lift the heavy cotton bow, so the task of lifting the bow was given to Li Feng as a matter of course.And the two little guys are just responsible for hitting the bowstring with a mallet.This caused Gao Yang to yell, saying that Li Feng was unfair.

Immediately, needless to say, the room was filled with the sound of cotton plucking and boisterous laughter.

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

"Sister Rouniang, I want to try it too"

Yang Jie can be said to be the quietest person. On weekdays, even at home, she seldom speaks.Most of the time, she would be quietly on the sidelines, 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 the plucking of cotton is really too novel, so that she, who was quiet in one item, somehow became interested today, and said to Rou Niang with a smile on her face.

"Okay, Sister Yang, why don't we come together, this cotton bow is quite heavy."

Seeing that Yang Jie was also interested in this, Rou Niang said to Yang Jie with a smile all over her face.For this sister, who is like a lily in the wind and snow lotus in the mountains, everyone in the family likes her very much.

"OK"

Regarding Rou Niang's words, Yang Jie readily agreed.

In fact, Li Feng knew, don't look at Yang Jie's weak look, but that's only on the surface.In fact, she possesses impressive strength.However, Li Feng didn't ask much about Yang Jie's previous affairs.After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Li Feng certainly didn't know what she had experienced.

After a while of hilarity, the cotton was finally all scattered.The next step is to start going online. This is a meticulous job, and it takes a lot of patience to do it.For this, that's what Rou Niang and the others are good at.After a few efforts, he was already better than blue, leaving Li Feng, the master, far behind.

After the thread is finished, a wooden mill is used to press and grind the quilt.This set of procedures is mainly to make the quilt more flat, and also to make the yarns stick to the cotton wool more firmly so as not to fall off.

After all these procedures 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 became 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 how this so-called quilt is.However, it is obvious that this quilt will not disappoint everyone.That kind of soft and warm feeling immediately caused surprise and joy to appear on everyone's faces.

Gao Yang couldn't wait to hold a part of the quilt in his arms, as if he was holding some precious treasure, and he held on tightly, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it away.

"No, this quilt is so comfortable. We have to cover this quilt at night. Sizi and I are children, and 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 quit immediately.This quilt is so comfortable, she also wants to cover it at night.For this reason, Xiao Sizi was also pulled into the common front.

In fact, she didn't need to be encouraged at all. From Sizi's bright red face and wide-open eyes, it could be seen that the quilt in front of her was extremely attractive to her.After hearing Yaya's words, she immediately turned her head and looked at Gao Yang.Although he didn't speak, the meaning expressed in that expression couldn't be more obvious.

"I said you girls, why are you in a hurry. It's not done yet. Rou Niang, Xiao Jie, you should sew the quilt first. Otherwise, you can't help but toss a few times."

It's not enough just to have a quilt, which doesn't even have a quilt cover.It is much more convenient to directly use the quilt cover, but it is not as comfortable as sewing directly with the quilt cover.
