at night.

At the foot of the mountain, you can see a hazy fog rising from Hulu Mountain at night. The cold air on the mountain collapsed to the foot of the mountain. There was still a thick quilt at home. The quilt with thatch core was really hard to sleep!

"Where is the duck egg?"

I was really tired today. Yi Niang pouted and said unhappily: "You have to do something again. Is it getting late and I won't rest?"

"Making pineapple eggs cannot be done in a day or two. Let's do it as soon as possible. During the New Year holiday, everyone has some spare money on their hands when buying New Year's goods, and they are willing to spend money to see if they can sell it at a good price!"

When Zhaodi heard the movement in the room, he also came to help!

Yi Niang moved out more than 100 duck eggs during the day, but in winter, the ducks lay eggs. After visiting the entire Fengshan Market, I bought so many eggs. I even broke several on the way, and I felt so distressed that I almost squatted down and cried.

"Brother Zhao, go and pull out all the firewood and wood ash in the stove, and bring the past together!"

The stove in the farmhouse must be cleaned regularly and the bottom of the pot must be scraped regularly. Otherwise, the ash will be attached to the bottom of the pot and the stove, and the fire will be smaller and the rice will be easier to cook! In the north, there are still people's professions.

It can also make money if you clean the stove and kang for people...

Zhao Di knew what delicious food was made when he looked at the duck eggs on this field, and he couldn't help but secretly swallowed another saliva. He was really speechless with his third brother. He changed his methods to eat different delicious foods every day, delicious and fresh!

There is not much ash in the stove, and Yi Niang will regularly clear out the firewood ash inside and collect it into a basket. There are several baskets of firewood ash at home.

In ancient times, firewood ash was the fertilizer for crops, one of the most basic farm fertilizers, and the other was the excrement of humans and animals...

If you sell it at the market, you can exchange it for money.

Liang Chuan poured the firewood ash on the ground, dug out a crater in the middle, put the ingredients bought at the market in it, and added some lime, salt, star anise, fennel, ginger, and white alkali.

It is not a valuable ingredient, and there are many people selling it on the market.

Add a little water and mix it with cement and start stirring. The firewood ash becomes viscous when it touches the water. Then put the duck eggs in the middle of the firewood ash and roll them outside and form a thick hard shell. Draw the gourd accordingly.

The three of them worked together and wrapped all the duck eggs in ash shell.

After getting the duck egg shells ready, put the duck eggs one by one into the soil jar, pour the remaining firewood ash on the ground into the jar evenly, leaving no gaps, and finally cover the jar with a lid and seal it!

"There is almost thirty years left for the Chinese New Year, and it's just right! If this thing sells well, we'll make more in the future!"

The two of them had never seen duck eggs do this way, and they were curious about what the duck eggs would look like in a month?

Pineapple egg?

The next day, Liang Chuan asked Yi Niang to carry the charcoal to the city and go to the pavilion for sale, and just go a few more round trips and foot strength faster.

Yi Niang knew shopkeeper Ye. Although she usually didn't go out of the door, Yi Niang was meticulous and steady in her work. She usually had no problems in explaining her the key to doing things well.

Besides, when you come back, you have to buy some vegetables or some food, so Yi Niang can make arrangements for it himself. He and Zhaodi were preparing to build a bamboo shed with charcoal behind the house at home. It was about to be the New Year, and the spring rain began to fall at the end of the year.

It's the season, and I haven't prepared charcoal, and I'll go hungry if I can't afford it.

Liang Chuan gave Yi Niang a piece of bamboo, engraved with a few words of fifty kilograms of charcoal on the first day of the lunar month, and told him that when delivering charcoal, the shopkeeper or shopkeeper must ask the person in charge to write a name or draw a secret on it.

It is confirmed that the charcoal has been received, so that there will be no disputes in the future.

Yi Niang felt that there was no need to be so troublesome at first, Liang Chuan explained that people's hearts were unpredictable, and there was a credential to save trouble in the future. Store Manager Ye was a good person, but other friends were not sure. After figuring out this joint, Yi Niang would have

I went there happily. I felt tired after carrying fifty kilograms of firewood, but this kilogram of charcoal can be exchanged for a lot of money, so I can carry it with great energy!

After Yi Niang left, Liang Chuan said, "Okay, now we should do our job. Zhaodi, go to the rice fields to carry some straw left by others. If it is really gone, just pick some reeds by the stream and come back.

,There are a lot of numbers, and we have to make a thick pile of roofs."

"You're going to work with your black nose!"

When Zhaodi left, Liang Chuan pulled out two bamboos that he had cut off from the mountain yesterday. The roots of the bamboo are very thick and are most suitable for being pillars and beams. They are more than three meters away, which is slightly lower than the house they live in.

One side of the shed should be leaning against the eaves, so it cannot be higher than the eaves. In this way, water accumulation will not accumulate on the roof when it rains and can flow down the slope. Dig two mortises at the thin end of the rod to keep them tied.

Hemp rope fixed.

Liangchuan dug two holes fifty or sixty centimeters deep on the ground. After putting two three-meter thick bamboo poles in, they acted as pillars and buried the soil that was originally dug back. The soil was rammed so that the two bamboo poles would not be bad.

Will be unstable.

After a while, Zhaodi came back with a large bundle of straw. There are not many people using straw this season, but in the beginning of spring, the unused straw will be burned by farmers and turned into wood ash to make the fields.

Liang Chuan ordered Zhao to straighten the straw, tie it together in small handfuls, and then tie it into pieces. The thickness does not need to be too thick, but it is very dense. After laying a few more layers later, you can achieve the waterproof effect.

.

There was no ladder at home, and Liang Chuan acted as a ladder. Zhaodi directly stepped on Liang Chuan's shoulder and held the wall with his hands. The wall was an earthen wall. He had to open two holes on the wall and place bamboo poles horizontally to carry the load-bearing frame for the load-bearing frame.

The two bamboos were originally about ten meters long, and the remaining part Liangchuan broke into two pieces, because this straw shed had to bear the weight of the thatch. There was no need to use the entire pole. Half of it broke can bear the thatch.

With the weight, it will save you from not enough bamboo. Liang Chuan picked up two thicker ones for Zhaodi, inserted one end into the hole that had just been chiseled in the wall, and connected the tenon holes of the column at the other end.

The four thicker bamboo poles were tied into a rectangular frame, and a head should be left for the two shorter edges. Although there were mortise holes at the connection, Liang Chuan still tied it with hemp rope to prevent it from being sturdy enough.

Liang Chuan used Zhaodi as a human ladder, and set up Zhaodi to fix the frame of the straw shed back and forth. After working hard for a long time, a frame prototype finally appeared! Liang Chuan broke all the remaining bamboos, the thickness and size, and used them all.

As a cross beam, the small beams are evenly spaced and tied with hemp rope.

Finally, spread the straw pieces that were originally tied up on the ground one by one, and tie some key connection points such as the edges with the rubbed straw ropes and fix them. Such a straw shed can be completed in half a day!

Standing in the straw shed, looking up, the sunlight could not be seen at all, and there was no cover around it. If the wall surround was also installed, it would be completely resident, and it would be a little simple. Zhao Di's room has not yet fallen, so I turned around.

I have to find a way to do it for him.

The shed has also been built. Repair the floor below the shed and shovel it down slightly to create a small slope to prevent water accumulation. Dig out another drainage ditches so that the accumulated water can be discharged outside the house. In this way, the rainy season is coming.

How can there be a dry place?

Next, I have to prepare for the charcoal to hand in tomorrow. Zhaodi joked: "San brother has built this shed, so I don't have to worry about wind and rain in the future. Then I will start playing with mud?"

"Start, you should be able to do it now, you can start work!" Zhao Di said it well. He is going to start playing with mud again. When he gets mud every day, he is useless when burning charcoal. How much skin is there for mud?

There are corrosion, not to mention corrosion, the skin will crack after drying for a long time. There are no skin care products at home, so the pain is as painful as a knife!

Zhaodi didn't dislike him. He worked hard and took care of all his work. The third brother is now quite his boss. The couple treats him like relatives, and they can eat and live in food and accommodation. The clothes are new, so there is no need to be

Like a little beggar, it’s also a joy to do more work.

Zhaodi hugged a lot of wood back and forth, carefully building the wood in circles. What shape of wood you want now and how much wood you want, it is better to pile it up. Zhaodi has had some experience in piles of wood soon.

It stood up like a small tower.

Zhaodi panted and brought back a bucket of water. He started mixing the land without saying a word to start mixing mud. While working, he complained rarely: "I said, "Third Brother, this charcoal furnace will be burned every time.

It would be too troublesome to get it back in a new position. It would be great if there was a charcoal kiln like a stove or a fixed charcoal furnace!"

That's right! A word woke up from the dreamer, Liang Chuan was awakened by Zhaodi's words. Why is he so rustic? He doesn't know how to reuse the principles, just build a stove. "Oh, young man, can it,

I still have some small ideas. Do it well, and I can’t build a stove at this moment. I can only use this old method. Don’t complain, hurry up."

When Zhaodi heard his opinion, he was adopted by his third brother. He felt happy and said, "Okay, I know, don't yell like urging me to death."

Liang Chuan asked, "You are familiar with Fengshan area, do you know where to sell bricks?"

"After walking south after the market, you will see a brick kiln when you almost reach the county town. The bricks there are not cheap."

"Why?"

"The brick must be made with good clay, just like we make this charcoal furnace. It's okay to dig a little bit and it won't hurt the farmland. This brick kiln is different. Make a few more acres of land.

The soil was also hollowed out. The fat mud in the field was dug out and burned bricks, and the remaining sand and soil would not be planted again, so it would not be planted."

"So that's the case. Where do ordinary people come from, for example, when do we want to build a house?"

"Of course I bought it from this official kiln, but this one has no semicolon."

"Isn't this an official kiln? How could it be sold to the public?"

"The money spent is naturally available."
