Chapter 669 Watching Fireworks
Jiang Tongtu looked at the fireworks he brought and those set off by the Liu family boy.
It's not the same thing.
He frowned, thinking he had been deceived.
"Don't you see how much money you gave me? I only have one firework. I bought it from the Imperial City. It cost tens of taels of silver! I begged my father for a long time before he asked someone to buy it for me. Your firework is worth only a few dollars. Am I supposed to pay for it with my own money?"
The Liu kid said this with disdain.
"Is it so expensive? Forget it, I'll just take a look at yours." Jiang Tongtu lost his temper instantly.
Anyway, whoever puts it up will watch it. He can watch it without spending a penny, so why buy something so expensive?
It would be better to use the few dozen 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.
"Bang——"
There was another sound.
As the flames rose, this time green fireworks exploded.
Until six times.
The fireworks then spontaneously combusted and then turned into waste.
The colors were different six times, and 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 imagined.
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.
It’s not as shocking as before, this firework is small.
It couldn't fly into the air, so it exploded at the height of the houses on the second floor. 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.
Like the difference between kindergarten 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 warm from running around. She was wearing a cloak, so her back was sweating.
After entering the main room, she took off her coat immediately, then took a small stool and sat next to her grandmother to watch her play cards.
There were two tables in the room. Grandma, godmother, uncle and aunt were sitting at one table.
As for those who were not playing 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 noisy sounds in the house, making it difficult to hear clearly.
The fruits and vegetables on the iron plate were also roasted and dried.
When Qian Xile remembered, he would turn the fruits over, throw away the mushy ones, 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 brought it over to them to add more tea.
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 well.
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 clear-headed.
“Crackle, crackle—”
Suddenly, firecrackers rang out 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.
The smoke rose up and drifted everywhere.
There were also shocking sounds coming from the main room.
"Hey, why are you setting off firecrackers? It looks like it's already midnight. Hurry up, go set off the firecrackers, don't be late."
As soon as Zhang Jinlan's voice fell, Jiang Fubao saw his eldest uncle and second uncle 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.
Noise is one thing, and the stinging 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?"
When the sound of firecrackers stopped, Sun Pingmei stood up and asked.
She scanned the room with her eyes, 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 leaf 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 also dry.
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 after that.
"Sister-in-law, give me a bowl of shredded chicken noodles with two tea-leaf eggs. I feel very empty after playing cards. I'll have a good sleep after eating." Jiang Dahe said.
"Your father and I can just share one bowl. Remember to only give me one tea leaf egg. 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. Chicken noodles can be prepared quickly. Fourth brother and fifth brother, you two come with us. The four of us will bring the chicken noodles later." After Jiang Ruyi finished speaking, she went to the backyard with Sun Pingmei.
Smoke was coming out of the chimney once again, which had been dormant since noon, but it was not very noticeable as it was getting darker.
The aroma of the chicken soup quickly covered up the smell of firecrackers.
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 gift money and went back to his room to sleep.
She pressed the half-finger-thick red paper bag under the 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 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 turned off the candle. She wanted to go to sleep, but when she saw the red lantern on the balcony, it was a bit dazzling. She put on her underwear, walked out, hung the lantern in the corner, and then went back to her little bed with satisfaction 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 passed through the door room and tried to hit the bed, but was blocked by the heat.
Jiang Fubao was covered with a thick quilt and didn't feel the cold at all.
Sleep deeply and dreamlessly until 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 entered the yard to have breakfast, Jiang Fubao found that her other godfather and godmother were not there.
