Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 487 Calcium Calcium Lamp

Since then, the mouse has been out of control.Whenever they eat walnuts or peanuts, this guy always squats in front of the crowd, staring at the food until it is fed.

If you don't give it, it will lean up and growl at you, like a child begging an adult for food.

If you don't give it, it will jump on you without any hesitation, stand on its hind legs and use its front paws to scratch the walnuts in your hands to eat.

Now every time Zhang Qian eats hickory nuts, she has to take good care of the three little ones at home, Wukong, Diandian and Mouse, but let them peel and eat by themselves.

"Is this still a clouded leopard? You really keep it as a pet." Seeing the little clouded leopard smash and eat walnuts, Su Nana was speechless again.

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 him to the street as soon as possible, this facial paralysis is nothing compared to other diseases, delay Facial nerve necrosis over a long period of time is not curable."

"Don't worry, I painted it yesterday morning, and it was all healed by lunchtime, and he kept thanking me. I called you today to ask you 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 bone. I want to catch them and raise them. I just made six bee gates. You can help carry them up the mountain."

"Bee Guan? I said Brother Junqi, are you trying to catch the kind of gray and black bees?" Liu Junhao couldn't imagine that after the failure of beekeeping last year, this person still has no intention of giving up. He still plans to go up the mountain to catch bees this year. Eyeing the wild bees.

In the eyes of ordinary people, as long as the bees that produce honey are collectively 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 bumble bee in Liu Junhao's courtyard, there are also black bees and middle bees, as well as a small khaki bee.

Ordinary bees are easy to catch once they find a nest, but this gray-black wild bee is different.It has a poisonous nature and is vigilant. As long as it finds a foreign enemy invading, it will immediately rush to it.

Liu Junhao and the others were stung by this kind of bee when they went to the mountains to get honey when they were young. At that time, the guy's face was swollen like a steamed bun. It took a week or so for the swelling to subside. Later, there were a few pockmarks on his face, which have not disappeared yet.

From then on, they knew that this kind of wild bee should not be messed with, and they rarely thought of making a beehive.

Unexpectedly, Liu Junqi was so courageous that he planned to raise this thing.

"Don't worry, I've already done the bee gate, and I don't need anyone to do it." Liu Junqi comforted on the phone.

"The key is where did you catch him and raise him?" Liu Junhao asked back.

"We'll talk about it when we get it back. You come to my house first and help carry the bee pass."

Fengguan is a tool for raising wild bees in rural areas. The pine wood is directly split in half, and a wooden groove is opened every four centimeters in the middle, and each wooden groove is about two centimeters wide.

The whole piece of pine wood is cut into eight to ten wooden grooves according to the length and thickness, and after it is finished, it is carried to the mountain and placed near the beehive or where wild flowers bloom.This season is the time to catch wild bees. Generally, there will be wild bees making nests in wooden troughs in ten days and a half.

However, the wild bees are very aggressive, and they must be fully armed if they want to collect honey, and they will be caught if they are negligent.

In the early years, many families raised wild bees, but they were gradually abandoned because of the low honey production.

Seeing his insistence, Liu Junhao had no choice but to say hello to his wife and lead Zhou Wei to help.

This person made a lot of noise, and even called a few tourists to go up the mountain, not afraid to stung them later.

There is no difficulty in placing the bee gate. Liu Junqi knows the location of the beehive, so he can just place it nearby.

A tourist was taking pictures of the tree, but didn't look at the road under his feet, staggered and almost fell.

"Be careful," Liu Junhao hurriedly urged.

"It's okay, I stepped on a stone," the tourist straightened up, just turned his head to walk away, and suddenly squatted down again.

"Old Wang, did you find the baby?" The people together laughed and joked.

"It's really a treasure, maybe it's a bronze ware!"

Although there was nothing valuable in the ancient tomb dug by digging a well years ago, it also confirmed that there are many cultural relics underground near Liujiagou.Many tourists have to go to the village to find someone to appraise those bricks and broken tiles from the field.

"Bronzeware, you are fooling the ghost." A group of people didn't believe it at all.I saw the tourist paw and pull a few times, and really pulled out a cylindrical thing from the mud pile.It's really a bronze ware... an utensil made of copper, covered with bluish-black patina.

"It's really an antique, so hurry up and look for it. There must be an ancient tomb nearby. I have already seen that this place is surrounded by water and mountains, so it can definitely be regarded as a geomantic treasure." A tourist acted like an afterthought.

"Bullshit." As soon as he said the words, his companion curled his lips, obviously not believing it.

This thing has been passed around in the hands of everyone, but no one knows what it is for.

"It's really something!" A tourist kicked twice at the place where the bronze was found, and a big hole was kicked out.

"Let me just say it, I'll just say it... an absolute ancient tomb." The previous tourist became even more excited.

Several people hurriedly scraped 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 had just broken it.

When they hurriedly pulled out the box, they saw an oilcloth package inside.

Everyone was very excited, and all guessed that there might be a treasure hidden inside, so they unanimously suggested to open the package and have a look.

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, which looked very similar to coal.

"Meteorite from beyond the sky!" A tourist had a good imagination and guessed it directly.

"Xiaohao, do you know it?" Liu Junqi took a piece and looked at it twice, and already knew what it was.

"Why don't you know it? Isn't it calcium carbide? This thing should be a calcium carbide lamp." Knowing the name of the stone in his hand, the name of the bronze vessel is ready to be revealed.Liu Junhao felt like it before, but he couldn't be sure for a while.

"Well, I think so too." Liu Junqi nodded.

"What is calcium carbide?" the tourist who called out the loudest just now turned his head and asked.

"Calbium carbide is what we often call ore. When calcium carbide is put in water, it will bubble and produce a combustible gas, that 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 the..."

Liu Junhao pointed to the bronze lamp and explained, "The calcium carbide lamp is divided into two sections. The upper section holds water, and the lower section holds calcium carbide. The upper section that holds water also has a screw needle, which controls the amount of water dripping into the lower section that holds the calcium carbide. In this way, acetylene that can light the lamp is generated, and the acetylene is ejected from the lamp head to form a flame. The size of the flame is also controlled by the screw needle. If the screw needle releases more water, the flame of the calcium carbide lamp will be larger. This calcium carbide lamp is probably exposed to rain. After a long time, the copper rust on the top is too thick, so the screw needle cannot be seen clearly."

Regarding calcium carbide lamps, Liu Junhao heard from his grandfather before.This thing appeared very early. In the past, people dug coal and used this kind of electric lamp for underground lighting.But this thing is fine on the top, it is very dangerous to put it underground, and many gas explosions in mines are caused by it.

In the early years, we ate big pot rice, and there were two large calcium carbide lamps made of clay in the village.The light is so dazzling that lighting up two calcium carbide lamps during meals can illuminate half the village at once.Moreover, if any family in the village handles errands, they will usually borrow large calcium carbide lamps from the team.

"No, why haven't I heard of calcium carbide lamps." The tourists who dug up the bronze ware couldn't accept this fact at all.

"If you really try it, you will know. Which one of you has water?" Liu Junqi said, took the calcium carbide lamp, and twisted it a few times to turn the screw.

A tourist had already handed over the kettle, and he poured some water into it, put the calcium carbide in it and closed the lid, took out the lighter and lit it.

If the calcium carbide is not sealed well, it will be weathered into calcium carbide face.Weathered into calcium carbide surface, it can no longer be used in vain.

The few pieces of calcium carbide in front of him were sealed with oilcloth and had not been weathered, and hissing flames erupted immediately.

The eyeballs of several tourists were all round, and they exclaimed: "This thing is really a calcium carbide lamp, really awesome!"

"It's nothing. There were a lot of calcium carbide lamps in our village in the early years, but it is rare to see such delicate ones." Most of the calcium carbide lamps used in Liujiagou were made of iron sheets. Dedicated, don't know why it's dropped here.

Then, Liu Junqi asked again with a smile, "Xiaohao, do you still remember the good things you and Qiyong did?"

"Why don't you remember?" Liu Junhao also laughed.

As far as Liu Junhao can remember, this calcium carbide lamp was rarely used by anyone, and later it completely withdrew from the stage of history.

His clearest memory is that he played with Liu Qiyong with a calcium carbide lamp, and the two of them got annoyed for some reason, and finally threw all the calcium carbide into the cesspit of the toilet in a fit of anger.

At that time, the cesspit of the rural toilets was dug into a large pond, which was only dug every few months, so the large excrement would often ferment and produce gas methane.

Not long after they threw the calcium carbide into the toilet, Liu Qiyong's father went to the toilet with a cigarette in his mouth, and then threw the cigarette butt into the cesspit after smoking.

The result is predictable, acetylene and methane burn simultaneously. With a "boom", a small explosion occurred in the simple toilet. Liu Qiyong's father was so frightened that he rushed out with his pants up, even without his belt on.

Later, he found out that his son had caused the trouble, so he beat Liu Qiyong severely.

"Calbium carbide lamps are just calcium carbide lamps. Maybe this thing is still a cultural relic." The tourist finally wanted to open it. This thing is very commemorative, and it can be sold for dozens of yuan at least in copper.

Both Su Nana and Zhou Wei have jobs, they left in a hurry after staying in Liujiagou for two days, and they didn't even bother to drink the full moon wine for the two little guys.

Zhang Qian didn't ask her to stay, but asked her husband to pick a few big watermelons for them before leaving.

After the two little ones were full moon and finished drinking the full moon wine, Zhang Ma saw that the school was on holiday, and Liu Junhao was busy with the housework alone. There was really nothing that needed his own help, so she went back to the city in peace.

As soon as the old lady was sent away, Zhang Qian's aunt's cousin, He Yifan, called and said that he was impatient with his parents' nagging and wanted to play in Liujiagou during the summer vacation.

Of course, his banner was to come to Liujiagou to ask his cousin to help with homework.Zhang Qian's aunt and uncle also agreed that Liujiagou was so far away from the urban area, at least He Yifan's gang of cronies would not affect his children.

It's okay to come, Zhang Qian said first, don't touch the computer when you come.

He Yifan readily agreed on the phone, and rushed to Liujiagou the next day with a backpack on his back.

This brat has finally grown up, and when he came, he knew how to bring a few sets of toys for the two children.
