Chapter 669 Watching Fireworks
Chapter 669 Watching Fireworks
Jiang Tongtu looked at the fireworks he brought and those set off by the Liu family boy.
It's totally not the same thing.
He frowned, thinking he had been cheated.
"Don't you see how much silver you gave me? I only have one of these fireworks. I bought them from the Imperial City. They cost dozens of taels of silver! I begged my father for a long time before he asked someone to buy them for me. Your fireworks are worth only a few dollars. Do you think I should pay for them for you?"
The Liu family kid said with disdain.
"It's so expensive? Forget it, let me just take a look at yours." Jiang Tongtu lost his temper instantly.
Anyway, no matter who puts it up, he will watch it. He can watch it without spending a penny, so why bother buying something so expensive?
It would be better to use dozens of taels of silver to buy some delicious food.
Jiang Tongtu curled his lips, and when he thought of this, he immediately felt that he had made a fortune.
"boom--"
There was another sound.
As the flames rose, this time it was green fireworks that exploded.
Until six times.
The fireworks spontaneously combusted and then turned into waste.
The six times were different colors. Even Jiang Fubao, who had seen many beautiful fireworks in modern times, was shocked.
I don’t know how it is made, but it comes in different colors.
It seems that ancient people were much smarter than she thought.
Even if she knew the principles of fireworks, she couldn't make them.
What’s more, the ancient people invented fireworks on their own.
"Okay, you're done, it's my turn."
Jiang Tongtu squeezed over and lit his own fireworks.
Not as shocking as before, this firework is small.
It couldn't fly into the air, so it exploded at the height of the second-floor house. Fortunately, there was an open space at the end of the alley, otherwise the sparks would have fallen to the second floor and would have definitely burned the wood.
The blooming flowers are not that big and are only one color, yellow.
It's like the difference between kindergarteners and college students.
But it’s cheap and good looking.
After setting off all the fireworks and playing snowball fights and hide-and-seek for a while, Jiang Fubao returned home with his family.
She wasn't cold at all. She was running around and her whole body was warm. She was wearing a cloak and her back was sweating.
After entering the main room, she took off her coat and sat on a small stool next to her grandmother to watch her play cards.
There were two tables in the room. Grandma, godmother, uncle and second aunt were playing at one table.
As for those who didn't play bamboo cards, they were not idle either. They gathered around the charcoal stove and talked about the gossip they had heard recently.
The flames danced in the charcoal stove, and the teapot on top made a gurgling sound, which blended with the laughter in the house and made it difficult to hear clearly.
The fruits and vegetables on the iron plate were also roasted and dried.
Qian Xile would turn the fruits over only when he remembered, throw away the mushy ones, and put the roasted ones on a plate and serve them to them.
Seeing that the tea in their cups was almost finished, she wrapped a rag around the handle of the teapot and took it over to add more tea for them.
Time just passes by little by little.
The sky outside was not dark at all, but instead was glowing blue, as if it were evening.
Plus the white snow and the red lanterns contrast.
It looks exceptionally beautiful.
Jiang Fubao went out for some fresh air and stood at the door of the main room. Feeling the cool wind, he suddenly felt his mind clear.
"Crackling——"
Suddenly, firecrackers sounded all around, some were very loud, and some seemed to come from far away.
It seemed that at this moment, everyone in Lianshan Town started setting off firecrackers.
Smoke rose and drifted everywhere.
Shocked voices were also heard from the main room.
"Oh, why are you setting off firecrackers? It looks like it's already midnight. Hurry up, go set off the firecrackers before you're late."
As soon as Zhang Jinlan's voice fell, Jiang Fubao saw his uncles rushing out of the main room and heading straight for the front door.
Then the sound of firecrackers from home rang out.
She didn't stay out any longer.
The noise is one thing, the choking smoke is another.
"I'm a little hungry. Who wants some shredded chicken noodles? I'll go to the kitchen to make it. Oh, and there are tea eggs in the kitchen. How about one tea egg per person, and a small dish of eight-treasure vegetable?"
After the firecrackers stopped, Sun Pingmei stood up and asked.
She glanced around the main room, as if asking everyone whether they wanted to eat or not.
"Eat, I want a bowl." Jiang Tongtu was hungry, so he raised his hand first.
"Aunt, I'll just eat half a bowl." Jiang Fubao also said.
"I'm not very hungry. A tea egg will be enough. I ate too many peanuts just now, and my stomach is really full." Qian Xile touched his bulging belly and burped.
Not only is my stomach full, but my mouth is dry too.
The teapot was no longer on the iron plate, but the tea in it was warm.
She poured it all into her cup and drank it all in one gulp. Her throat felt much better afterwards.
"Sister-in-law, give me a bowl of shredded chicken noodles with two tea eggs. My stomach is very empty after playing cards, so I'd better eat well and sleep well." Jiang Dahe said.
"Your father and I can just share one bowl. Remember to only put one tea egg in it. I won't eat it." Zhang Jinlan said as she stacked up the cards in her hand and put them away.
"I'll go to the kitchen with you. Don't call the maids. I saw them drink in the evening and they probably went to bed a long time ago. Shredded chicken noodles can be cooked quickly. Fourth brother and fifth brother, you two come with us. The four of us will bring the shredded chicken noodles later." After Jiang Ruyi finished speaking, she went to the backyard with Sun Pingmei.
The chimney, which had been dormant since noon, began to emit smoke again, but it was not very obvious because it was much darker.
The aroma of the chicken soup quickly covered up the smell of firecracker smoke.
Except for Qian Xile and Jiang Wangyou, who had a small appetite, everyone from the old to the young had a midnight snack.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Fubao took the New Year’s money and went back to his room to sleep.
She pressed the half-finger-thick red paper package under her pillow, which instantly became much higher. Jiang Fubao was not used to sleeping on it, so she simply took out half of it and asked Xue Huan to help her share it. As for the money inside, it was not much, so she just regarded it as a reward to Xue Huan.
Anyway, the adults don’t know.
Xue Huan closed the window, opened the door a crack, then put out the candle. She wanted to go to sleep, but when she saw the red lanterns on the balcony, they were a bit dazzling. She put on her underwear, walked out, and hung the lanterns in the corner. Only then did she go back to her little bed with satisfaction to go to sleep.
There was a hint of bright red under the pillows of both the master and the servant.
No matter how biting the wind was outside in the north, Jiang Fubao's house was always warm.
The cold wind blew through the gatehouse and tried to hit the bed, but was blocked by the heat.
Jiang Fubao was covered with a thick quilt and didn't feel cold at all.
Sleep deeply without dreams and wake up till dawn.
Just like yesterday, when I opened the door and stood on the balcony, all I saw was the pure white color.
Jiang Fubao took a deep breath and started a new day.
I am going to the Dong Mansion to pay New Year's greetings today. My brother Bujiu and my godfather and godmother will be there too.
When she arrived at the courtyard to have breakfast, Jiang Fubao discovered that her other godfather and godmother were not there.
