At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

It took a week to prepare and burn the first stove, but the heat was not well controlled, and the success rate was only half. An Laoer and An Ningning sat aside and reflected on the issue of controlling the fire. Without a thermometer, this stove may be too anxious. The temperature in the middle is enough, but the temperature on the side is not so good.

It would be better to know where the problem lies. It happened that after several days of making thousands of mud bricks, the furnace started to burn again. Baking bricks is really hard work, and someone has to keep an eye on the fire while the stove is burning.

So a night watch shed was set up by the river.

On this side of the river, you can see the opposite hillside from a distance, and every household is busy.

An Ningning sighed, how hard-working ordinary people are!

In just one week, the wilderness has changed dramatically. Although it is not as exaggerated as the changes in the sea, the weeds and shrubs have been pulled out on the flat land in front of the river at the foot of the mountain. This place is where the villagers are preparing to build houses. The grass on the gentle slopes of the hills has basically been removed, and in some cases, various animal excrements have been piled up in the ground.

An Lao'er looked at his little niece smiling at the hilly clearing, and was very curious, "What's wrong? You are such a strange girl. Why do you start laughing again just by looking at her?"

An Ningning stood up, opened her hands, and stood up, "Second uncle, this is the country we conquered!"

An Laoer looked at his insane niece. Although his words were strange, he understood the meaning, "Good niece, wait until my second uncle burns more kilns and lay down all the green bricks in the nearby fields."

Liu Erhu followed and looked at the fire, looking at the crazy uncle and nephew with disgust, then lowered his head and looked at the fire again. He looked at the red flames with satisfaction. After the fire was finished, they could turn it into a blue brick house. They could burn the bricks and sell them in the spring of next year.

An Laoer found five young adults in the village and took turns watching the fire. Whether it was making mud bricks or firing bricks in the kiln, moving bricks was a laborious and labor-intensive job.

After such a long time, fewer people in the village paid attention to it, mainly because everyone was very busy, and every family was busy preparing for a new home.

By the time the third and fourth furnaces were fired, the success rate had stabilized at about 80% to 90%. Although An Ningning was not satisfied, this needed to be improved a bit. For something without a thermometer or accurate time calculation, it would definitely be better. That's not possible.

An Laoer was very satisfied and wished he could sleep with the brick in his arms every day.

There are bricks. The foundation of Lao An's house has begun to be dug, and the green bricks have continued to be burned. In order to burn the bricks quickly, a second brick kiln was slowly built. It was not far away, so we could watch the fire together.

With this kind of progress, it won't be long before Lao An's blue brick house can be built quickly.

There are blue bricks, but there are no tiles! Traditional mud houses are made of straw and can be repaired every year. An Laoer looked at the green bricks that were slowly appearing and felt that it was necessary to go out for a run.

He told his family, carried a few bricks in his arms, and rode a donkey cart into the city.

An Ningning originally wanted to go, but An Laoer ran away in a hurry.

Mrs. An reacted and vomited fragrance at home. She used to be most satisfied with this son, but as time went by, she found that this son seemed to be missing a muscle in doing things!

An Ningning had no choice but to go up and coax her, "Nai, don't be angry. My uncle is serious about his work."

Mrs. An sighed, "Your brother-in-law, he used to go to school, and he came back once or twice a month, but he didn't feel well. Now that he walks around in front of me every day, I always feel that he does things differently from other people. I I feel so panicked! What’s going on?”

An Ningning felt a little strange. Why did her uncle do things differently from other people? Have it?

Thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing but two points! "Hey, your second uncle is such a nagging teacher. Are you telling him that he can just bake bricks? Bricks are something that ordinary people can make at will. That's a craftsman's job! When I was young, there was a guy in my mother's family who knew how to make bricks. The bicycle frame guy, oh, that one is so popular, these skills are passed down from our ancestors."

"I don't understand what I said, okay, let's go play!" After feeling sad, Mrs. An went to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

As he walked, he said nonchalantly: "You can pick some wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains. We have just settled down and there are no vegetables to eat around here. It will be good to wait until next spring to open up a piece of land and plant some fruits and vegetables." .”

An Ningning felt that her breasts were really her uncle's biological mother! Look how much the mother and son look alike!

Once you think about it, it comes out, and then you don't care whether other people are standing messy in the wind.

She didn't know Mrs. An thought so much? She actually provided the brick-burning technology, but it can't be said that she dreamed it up! Of course, she also provided a lot of technical support when the bricks were fired, otherwise how could it have been so smooth?

She should be more careful in the future, maybe because she has been escaping for the past six months, whatever good things she does will be blamed on An Laoer. As things happened more and more, Mrs. An felt that her second son was too different from before. It was possible to think about it, but there was no evidence!

But this reminded her to be careful when taking things out of her head in the future.

Is she planning to burn charcoal recently?

Winter is here, how cold it is! Especially in the mountains, the temperature in the mountains is obviously lower than outside.

After An Laoer and the others successfully fired the bricks, there were far fewer gossips and spectators in the village.

Almost most people went to An Lao'er to order the bricks. An Lao'er also offered them very cheaply to the villagers, almost all of them charging labor costs.

The blue bricks in the town are more expensive at two copper plates each, so they can just take one from the village.

Although it is cheaper than outside, many people in the village think it is expensive. Indeed, some are really poor and cannot afford it. Most people think that it would be better if the folks in the countryside can get it cheaper or even give it to them for free.

Many people approached the village chief and said, "Village Chief Shu, look at how people in the same village can make money?"

"Yeah, why don't you go talk about it."

"My house was originally going to be a wooden house, but cheap bricks would be fine. If it's made of wood, it would have to be repaired in two or three years, and it's still not warm in the winter."

"That's right, village chief. My family doesn't have the labor to chop down trees, so I'm planning to build a mud house. Although it's a bit rough, it's still possible to live in. It's not easy for orphans and widowed mothers." Widow Xiao from the village cried as she spoke. Woke up.

The village chief knew that her family was in real difficulty and had no strong labor force. She, her mother-in-law, and her son were able to survive with the help of the clan members.

The village chief looked at some of the leading thorns in the crowd and really didn't want to talk about it. Some of them either didn't have money or wanted to get it cheap, or in other words, they wanted to get it for free! But there are so many good things!

He finally understood that brick-making was not only a technical job, but also a physical job. Every step of the process was damaged.

An Laoer had been working on that day and night for a while, and it was not easy to get it done. It would definitely not be okay to let others give it away for free!

Thank you for your support!
