Chapter 167: Spectacular Tree Blossoms
Then the group dispersed and everyone went to the ski slopes they wanted to go to. Bai Xi dragged his equipment and planned to go find a coach.
The coaching price is not bad, full-day teaching, 1v1, charges 1880.
Fortunately, I was not the only one who needed to find a coach, Pei Jun also came to find a coach.
With someone by his side, Bai Xi felt much more balanced.
Two coaches, each leading one person, went to a flat open space to teach.
Start by teaching how to put on the equipment.
Everyone else had already gone to the ski resort to fly, but Bai Xi was the only one who was learning how to put on and take off equipment in a place with almost no slope.
It was easy to learn how to put on and take off the equipment, and she quickly mastered it.
But then, he slid with one foot on the snowboard and the other on the ground, which was not too difficult. But when he started to slide straight down on one foot, Bai Xi started to fall down with a bang.
Although her coach taught her how to fall safely, falling too much is not good because it will hurt her butt.
She has already tied up that little turtle Zhang Feng.
After falling for more than ten times in a row, Bai Xi began to question his athletic ability and wondered if he was not suitable for such technical activities.
But the coach still encouraged her, "Stand up! You can do it! Do it again!"
In this way, Bai Xi was encouraged (tricked) to stand up again and again, and then fell down again, but fortunately, she finally learned to descend straight on one foot.
The next item is to learn the single-legged gentle slope J-turn. This is more complicated. When turning, you need to pay attention to how your posture and center of gravity change.
Bai Xi understood it well, but his posture was not right, so he started to fall down again.
Finally, the coach was about to cry. He looked at the clock and said, "You have already studied for an hour and a half instead of an hour for other people's course."
At this time, Fang Lan came to see Bai Xi. Seeing her fall one after another, he couldn't help but feel pain for her and couldn't help but give her some advice.
But this is a question of athletic ability, not a question of comprehension.
She can understand.
But it doesn't mean it can be done.
After a few minutes, Jiang Hui also came.
He looked for a while and then left. A minute later, he came back again.
This time he brought a giant turtle, about one meter tall.
He held up the turtle and said to Bai Xi, "Take off the little turtle and stretch out your hand."
Bai Xi looked at the big turtle, untied the small turtle neatly, stretched out her arms, and Jiang Hui put the big turtle on her.
After putting it on, Bai Xi felt like he was carrying a turtle shell on his back, with the turtle's belly in front of him.
She was very curious, "Is this sold here?" No wonder there are little turtle butt pads everywhere in the ski resort.
"No, I bought it from a snow friend." I spent a thousand yuan to buy the protective case that the person wore.
With this oversized protective gear and a helmet, Bai Xi suddenly felt safe. She was no longer afraid of falling and dared to do the moves. After a while, she actually learned the J-turn that she had fallen countless times.
It can be seen that the more you fear falling, the more likely you are to fall, while if you are not afraid of falling, it will be okay.
She was so excited that she wanted to jump up, and forgot that one of her feet was still wearing the snowboard. The next second, she fell flat on her back again.
It's like a giant turtle that can't turn over.
Despite this, Bai Xi lay on the snow and laughed happily, "Hahahaha..." Even if she made a small progress, she dared to believe that she would learn to float on the snow sooner or later.
The coach pulled her up and breathed a sigh of relief, finally having passed the beginner stage.
Next, he began to teach the fore and aft edges. He encouraged Bai Xi: "You are currently at the beginner level, but as long as you learn the fore and aft edges and edge changes well, you can move on to the intermediate level."
really?
Bai Xi suddenly gained confidence.
But who would have known that until today when they left the ski resort, she had not yet finished learning the fore and aft edges.
Bai Xi began to doubt his athletic ability again.
Somewhat frustrated.
Seeing her anxious, the coach comforted her: "Don't worry, this is a 15 to 20-hour course, and you can't finish it in a short time."
You didn’t tell me earlier!
She thought she could finish learning today.
It's just a waste of pressure on yourself.
As Bai Xi walked forward, he calculated that a course lasted 6 hours a day and it would take at least 3 days to learn the front and back edges.
It’s okay, if you can’t finish learning it in one day, you can come back later.
The coach only teaches for 6 hours a day, and there is more than an hour left before closing time. Bai Xi played on the beginner track for an hour and was quite happy.
After skiing, they gathered again at 4:30 in the afternoon, counted the people, and returned to the hotel.
We had dinner at the hotel and then we could rest.
Bai Xi went back to take a shower, blow-dried his hair, and looked at the time. It was 5:40 and the flower-making process was about to begin.
She opened the group chat on her phone and asked, "Do you want to watch the iron flower show? There will be an iron flower show at 6 o'clock."
When they heard the sound of iron flowers, Fang Lan and Zhang Hua rushed out one after another, "Go." "I'll go."
Jiang Hui also spoke up, "Where is it?"
Si Yu: "Go, go!"
Zhang Feng came out to take over, "Those who want to go, go together, gather in the corridor and wait until 5:45."
Bai Xi put on a down jacket, put on a few hot packs, put on a thick scarf and hat, gloves, carried a small bag, and went to the corridor to gather.
After a while, everyone came out except Si Yao and Xiao Mingxing who went out to drink and Xu Qi who was on the phone.
Zhang Feng asked Bai Xi, "Sister, where are you?"
“Xiushui River Park.”
"It seems we are lucky to have come across iron flower. I also know there is an ancient town of iron flower here, but I have never seen it. We are so lucky!"
Bai Xi smiled. It really wasn't luck that mattered. "Actually, I invited people here because I wanted to watch the iron flower show."
"Ah? You treated me?" Si Yu was surprised.
Bai Xi nodded.
"My sister has a good idea. Let's go. I looked at the map and it only took a few minutes to walk. It's not far." Zhang Feng organized everyone to set off.
Chong City is not big to begin with, and it developed based on skiing. Xiushui River Park is on the edge of the city, not far from the hotel where Bai Xi stayed.
They walked for about five minutes and arrived at the place where the iron flowers were made.
It was a dark and cold night, and there was almost no one here at night.
The place for making iron flowers is in an open space in the garden, next to a high wall.
As soon as Bai Xi arrived, Zhang Li saw her. He rubbed his hands and trotted over. "Boss Bai, we are ready and can start at any time. But it is dangerous to make sparklers, so we have to go a little further away."
Bai Xi nodded, and everyone retreated to the back, where there was a row of chairs. After everyone sat down, Bai Xi called Xiao Shi, "Let's start, start the live broadcast."
Then she nodded at Zhang Li.
Zhang Li quickly passed the message over there and then retreated far away.
The next second, the craftsmen scooped up some of the red-hot molten iron at over 1600 degrees with a specially treated willow wood spoon and threw it vigorously onto the wall in front of them.
At that moment, the light was blazing and dazzling. The molten iron at thousands of degrees hit the wall, splashing into thousands of sparks that scattered like thousands of golden flowers blooming.
It is brighter and more dazzling than the golden light that bursts out at sunrise.
The iron flowers here are also known as tree flowers.
It's different from iron flowers in other places.
Another way to make iron flowers is to put some molten iron in the groove of a stick and hit the stick with another stick to make the molten iron fly.
Even though different places have different ways of playing, the scene of molten iron splashing out a large amount of sparks in front of Bai Xi made him stare at it.
It's really spectacular!
After the molten iron was scattered by the wall, it drew thousands of lines, so gorgeous and dazzling. Bai Xi simply didn't know how to describe this beauty.
Great beauty beyond words!
Like fireworks, but more dangerous, more beautiful and more shocking than fireworks!
