Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 9 The Magical Use of Secret Realm
As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard ghosts crying and howling wolves coming from the east wing. Li Guocheng smiled, and he was already used to it. He turned around and went into his own room without caring about the business of the second uncle's house.

Take out the newspaper and put it on the table. No paste. Come on, do it yourself.I took out a small flour bag from the secret place, scooped out about 3 taels of flour, took the kettle from the stove, opened the stove lid, the briquettes were red, and it was just right, so I put the lunch box on it, added half of the water, and after a few minutes, I watched The water is steaming. Use chopsticks to stir while adding flour. If it feels slurry, continue heating. Wait for the slurry to simmer for a few minutes. Take out the lunch box. At this time, the slurry is complete. Let it cool down before use. .

In the past six months, Li Guocheng would buy back all the grain supplies in the grain book every now and then, and put most of them in a secret place. Firstly, it was easy to preserve, and secondly, there was no one at home and he was afraid of losing them. After all, there was a thief in the courtyard.There was only a little cornmeal in the room as a pretense so as not to attract any attention.In the past, I also found that someone had entered the house and didn't notice anything missing, so I didn't take it seriously.I guess it was because I only had so few things at home and I was too embarrassed to do anything about it. Everyone knew exactly who it was.

This is part of the reason why Qin Huairu has never asked Li Guocheng to borrow money. He probably didn't care because his family was in poverty, he didn't have much food, and he was still an apprentice.

For half a year, Li Guocheng was not polite to anyone. He concentrated on his work as a fitter. He was an apprentice and an orphan. Everyone was embarrassed to accept Li Guocheng as a bachelor.So there is nothing to worry about. On the surface, the compound is a friendly, harmonious and beautiful courtyard house. This year, it was rated as a "civilized courtyard house" by the street.

Newspapers were spread out on the table and it was also painted with paste, but there was no way to cover the roof without a ladder. It was too late to borrow one now. Everyone was eating. I had mutton pot and steamed buns in the afternoon. I’m not hungry now, but Dare to bother the neighbors.

Suddenly, an idea struck me. The newspaper on the table disappeared. When it reappeared, it was stuck on the roof. I didn't feel happy for a long time. The newspaper slowly fell off the roof and fell to the ground. I picked it up and looked carefully. I found that it was stuck on the roof. There was too much dust on it, and I suddenly realized that it had not been cleaned for many years. The beams and rafters were covered with dust, and they had to be cleaned before they could be covered with newspapers.

It seems that I can only use the power of the secret realm. I don't dare to collect dust directly with my mind. I am afraid that if I don't control it well and damage the house, I put the wardrobe in the middle of the house as a focus point. I pick up the broom with my right hand and gently lift it with my left hand. Wardrobe, his body jumped up directly, tapped the top of the closet with his foot, and waved his right hand on the roof. The dust just flew up. He controlled the secret realm to only absorb dust at a certain height, and gathered the dust in a corner of the secret realm away from the stone table. Although there was Some dust will also slip through the net, but most will be confined into the secret realm.

I didn't expect that the secret realm had such daily uses. If a Taoist person saw it, he would probably go crazy.

If someone enters, they will see a figure fluttering between the roof and the wardrobe, dazzled and confused, as if they have seen a ghost, but they are not scared out of their wits.If you encounter someone who is brave, just hold up a small red book and shout, "Monster, quickly collect the evil magic...".

As the cleaning progressed, my left and right hands became more and more skilled in cooperating with the secret realm. Almost no fish slipped through the net behind me, and all the dust was restrained into the corners of the secret realm.Work together after half an hour. Look at your watch. It's 7:10 in the evening. If you still don't feel hungry, then take the newspaper. Follow the previous steps, spread out the newspaper, apply paste, send it to the secret realm, and then control the secret realm to let the newspaper Appearing at the right place on the roof saves trouble, but it is time-consuming. The process is too complicated. Who are we, the elites of future generations? What we are best at is optimizing the process.

After stopping and thinking about it, I first put all the newspapers and paste into the secret realm, and controlled the brush with my mind to apply the paste. After the brush was done, I controlled it to fly out to the designated place, and the speed increased significantly.

"I'm really a genius," the old man said in a boyish frenzy, holding the yellow on his left hand and the blue sky on his right. . .

If you are afraid that the newspaper will not stick firmly and the newspaper will fall off after the paste dries, repeat the steps of cleaning the dust, fly up and gently sweep the newspaper with the broom head, so that the newspaper sticks more closely to the beams or rafters. Finish the work and return the wardrobe to its place. , the whole house immediately looks clean and bright.

It was almost 9:[-], and I felt a little hungry. I added a piece of honeycomb briquettes, took off all the stove lid rings, put on the iron pot, cooked half a pot of polenta paste, put in some diced bacon, a little extravagance, and put a sticker on the edge of the pot. After mixing the noodles with the pot stickers, half an hour later, it’s time to start eating.

I kept busy until 10:[-], then took a quick shower and went to bed.

The next day, Li Guocheng woke up because his biological clock was on time. When he looked at his watch, it was five minutes past five o'clock, which was not a big error.

I slapped my forehead, feeling that my underwear is a little too expensive recently, and I can't wash it.

It takes less than 7 o'clock to wash up, change underwear, enter the secret realm, move around every day, and play Wuqinxi.At this time, everyone in the courtyard was up for work, and they were chatting while washing in the courtyard.

Going out to work, as usual, smiling and saying hello to the neighbors I met while walking.

I haven't met Yu Xiao'e in the past few days. She probably doesn't have to go to work and is sleeping in at home.It's good. We don't provoke each other and everyone is safe.

I went out late today and met Widow Qin. She is very popular. There are few people in the middle courtyard and it is spacious. Some people from the front and back yards also went to the middle yard to get water and wash up. Widow Qin was chatting enthusiastically with everyone while washing up. Silly Zhu was also missing as usual. Figures, usually before 9 o'clock, Shazhu will not get up.

It's different from what I expected. After all, she is a woman who has given birth to three children. Naiko is big, but her sagging is very severe. She is wearing a floral cotton jacket, and her figure cannot be seen. The loose blue trousers on her lower body cannot hide her fat butt. , after years of hard work, the face is no longer white and greasy.If Yu Xiao'e scores 3 points, Widow Qin's maximum score is 80. This is because of the amorous feelings in her eyes. As a person who has experienced ups and downs in later generations, Widow Qin is really not attractive. She would rather be in I play the pipa at home.

At this time, bras hadn't been widely popularized in China, and Nako, who had breastfed several children, generally sagged very badly.Wealthy housewives will use a small vest, which is also used to tighten the chest, while ordinary families use cotton vests.Even in the 80s and 90s, some middle-aged women were still wearing such vests in the summer, no matter how big or small, and they were wandering around everywhere, scaring the young people passing by with blushing faces and muttering to themselves, "Women are tigers."

After eating the steamed buns, I entered the workshop, received the task, and kept my head down to polish my benchwork skills as always.During lunch, I asked the master about carpentry. It happened that a distant cousin of the master was a carpenter. He didn't have much work and spent most of his time at home teaching apprentices.We agreed to take it to the compound on weekends, and it was settled, and the bookcase was also settled.

In the afternoon, I speeded up a little, and finished the task an hour before leaving get off work. Now I am relatively free. The master has long stopped paying attention to me. The tasks I assign are almost flawless. Occasionally making intentional mistakes is also within the acceptable range.

According to the requirements of the Eight Carving Methods, several carving knives were made, including 6 round knives of various sizes, 4 flat knives of various sizes, 4 triangular sizes and 2 crescent knives.

As the saying goes, the mountain depends on the mountain, and the steel rolling mill depends on the rolling mill. Everyone uses the scraps from the steel rolling mill to make some things for their own use. Generally, they should not go too far. The team leader does not care much and understands it tacitly.Zhang Tou came over and hugged him just now, and found a few gadgets, turned around and left without saying a word.

After several kinds of carving knives were finished, they pretended to be put in the satchel, but in fact they had already taken up space.

　There will be too much on Monday morning, and I haven’t bothered to organize and check. I just finished it.Posted a little late.

　　From now on, unless there are special circumstances, there will generally be one chapter at noon and one chapter at night.

　　Thank you all for your recommendation votes and for your encouragement.
