From Chief to Ball

However, the Huoshaoyun is the Huoshaoyun at this time. People would not think that the dust caused by the volcanic eruption thousands of miles away a year ago would lead to such clouds, and they would not think that the weather would become colder or drought or heavy rain. So there was chaos and famine.

Unrest, hunger, war, colonial survival or change will be the main colors of the world in the decades after this cloud.

All one could think of was that tomorrow would be a fine day for such a novelty sale.

Citizens, workshop owners, businessmen, secret workers with malicious intentions, those who have lost their interests, and those who are interested in Chen Jian, on such a night, the most they think about is the real tomorrow rather than the real tomorrow .

Chen Jian was fully prepared for what might happen tomorrow, and he also took out everything he could think of that could arouse everyone's interest.

The rented site was filled with wooden shelves of various colors early on, and there were all kinds of dazzling goods placed on them.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Jian and the people from the business company arrived at the venue early, and some people who liked to be lively had already arrived here.

Many vendors have set up stalls near here in advance, preparing to sell various snacks.

In the center of the venue, there is a concrete platform that was prepared early. Chen Jian brought people here to make such a cement platform with the cement he brought a few days ago. In fact, the inner bricks only have one layer on the outside.

After a few days of drying and maintenance, it is completely dry at this time, and its bluish-white color looks like a boulder, but a boulder does not have such deliberate edges and corners, and a thick and artificial texture.

This concrete platform is huge enough, so it naturally aroused some people's interest early on.For this kind of slime that doesn't need much blending and can be used directly and can be dried like a stone, someone has long been interested.

Obviously, this is a business opportunity, whether it is building houses or buildings used by the military to build forts, bastions or even stargazing platforms, they can all be used.

Around this concrete platform, there are still some places covered by curtains, which are places for children to play.

Early on, someone filled the hot air balloon with gas and tied it to the cement platform. This is also a fun place.

Chen Jian knew that some experiments that would attract everyone's applause in the academy would not cause a sensation here, so he needed something more interesting, simpler and more interesting to attract these people.

It is not necessary to sell, but to let people have a concept: every year, Nan'an Small Commodity City will host a fair, and there will be many novelty things seen in this fair every year.

For some it's a novelty, for others it's a business opportunity.Moreover, there will be more new things that will not be damaged or suppressed by the guild will be displayed on this platform, not only from Chen Jian's side, but also from the craftsmen in the capital. This is Chen Jian's idea.

When the sun rose above the head, the number of people gradually increased, and soon about 2000 people gathered, and the number continued to increase.

Standing on the concrete platform, Chen Jian shouted some slogans that he was familiar with at the top of his voice.

The employees of the trading company behind filled the balloon with a bellows, and Chen Jian shouted on it that about 50 people can be drawn today, and they can experience the thrill of flying for free, and each person who is drawn can go up for a quarter of an hour to experience it.

Of course, it is impossible to fly too high, but it is tied with a rope. When necessary, someone and a horse use a wooden winch to pull the balloon down and replace it with another batch.

The overall atmosphere reminded Chen Jian of the scene when those people in One Hundred Years of Solitude saw the strange things brought by the gypsies, and it was like a mobile market in a rural town in a western movie, or a city in the 80s Street lottery.

It is such a restless era, an era where science and magic are still unclear but subconsciously worshiped, and it is full of vitality.

Many, many years later, when the Nan'an Small Commodities Fair has been renamed the World Expo—from the arts of various countries, novel machines, magical animals and plants, all kinds of people to all kinds of strange things—Lan Qi will still think of the first time Participation in the Nan'an Small Commodity Fair.

That was the first time she saw Chen Jian, although she had heard the name many times before.

Tall, solid and strong, with a slightly dark complexion, wearing an indigo-blue gown, he always speaks with a suppressed tone and then a high tone, which can always arouse people's emotions, and always wave his hands when he is excited.

This is Lan Qi's first impression of Chen Jian.

Then she noticed the strange bluestone-like platform that Chen Jian stepped on. After asking, she knew that it was called cement, and it only took a few days to dry, and it was like a stone after drying.

"It's a nice thing that can be used for a lot of things. Like building roads."

She didn't have much interest in houses built with such things.

Her family background determined that she could not like this kind of cold, stone-like houses. Those crowded, two- and three-story wooden frame buildings in the city were not for people like her to live in.

But she could easily make her think of muddy, rutted roads after a rainy day, when cars would bump and horses would splash mud spots.

After looking at the concrete platform, he looked away from Chen Jianjian, who was giving a speech on the experience of flying into the sky, and saw the balloon behind him preparing to soar.

"It seems that he was able to fly by that. The reason seems to be very simple, it is a big flying sky lantern, but why didn't I think of it?"

Hearing Chen Jian shouting on the board that today will draw a few lucky ones to feel the joy of flying to the sky and overlooking the world, I have expectations in my heart.

A few trading company employees with red armbands were maintaining order there. Lan Qi obediently lined up, received a note with the number 23 from the clerk, and carefully put it in his cuff.

It is said that this piece of paper can decide who will be the lucky one in the end, probably because the space is too small and there are too many people, so they can only enter in batches.

Walking to the back of the curtain, Lan Qi felt that her eyes were full of dazzling light, and many people beside her gave out bursts of admiration, looking up at the surroundings, the light was too bright, and she had to cover it with her hands shut your eyes.

Behind the curtain were two very long bamboo poles, which hung high above the heads of the crowd, on which hung two rows of crystal clear decorative glass chandeliers.

On both sides, there are all kinds of expensive and beautiful glassware.Cups, cups, small mirrors, or whatever.

Lan Qi was sure that it was glass rather than crystal, because she knew that Chen Jian opened a glass workshop.

All kinds of decorations with corners or edges reflect the light of the sun, just like walking into a treasure house, and looking up, there are shining things that make people's hearts flutter.

Those lamps carefully crafted by craftsmen sway with the breeze. They don't have much background and are even a bit vulgar, but this kind of vulgarity makes people look forward to it, such as the exclamation sounds around them.

It's just a gasp, because these people are probably frightened by such a scene, and don't know what kind of exclamation to make.

Walking past the dazzling lamps, the scene in front of her made Lan Qi's eyes widen.

A rainbow was printed on a huge white cloth, the colors in it were so clear that it seemed as if one could touch it with one's hand.

In front of the white cloth was a huge triangular glass column, beautifully ground and smooth.

The sunlight is divided into a rainbow from the glass column, into a rainbow that is far away in the sky and can only be seen after a heavy rain but is hard to touch. At this moment, this rainbow is right in front of you.

There was already a child walking over, wanting to touch the rainbow on the white cloth, but they were stopped by everyone, as if the rainbow would fly away if the child stretched out his hand.

The child was scared by so many people, but a person next to him with a red armband said nothing happened.

On the contrary, he picked up the child, approached the prism, and let the rainbow fall on the child. The child didn't realize it, but those who saw it exclaimed, the seven-color luster was on the child.

The dirty clothes are a little greasy, especially the cuffs where they often wipe their noses are a little dirty, but they are shrouded in seven-color luster, as if they have been coated with a layer of glaze.

Lan Qi was fascinated by watching from the sidelines, and really wanted to walk into the rainbow and let the rainbow fall on her. It would be best if an excellent painter could draw the scene of herself in the rainbow.

The child who was being held was giggling, and the person holding it took out a smaller prism that was only the size of a finger and handed it to the child, asking the child to stretch out his hand.

After adjusting the angle, the rainbow fell into the palm of the child's hand.

The child turned around happily and shouted to the family members beside him: "Mom, Dad, look! The rainbow is in my hand, and I caught the rainbow!"

But as soon as they shook hands, Rainbow ran from the child's palm to the held fingers like a mischievous ghost, and would never be caught.

Those who wanted to keep seeing the rainbow stayed, marveling at all that these wonderful wonderlands have to offer.

Lan Qi thought to herself, the most beautiful scenery must still be ahead. Although the rainbow is beautiful, as long as I spend money to buy such a prism and place it in the hall, I can see it every day.

I don't know what else is weird and fun behind it?
