Chapter 37 Land (2)

After a long period of communication, Huo Chong said to Liu Sijin seriously: "Second brother, I said the wrong thing, I will compensate you."

After hearing this, Liu Sijin looked aggrieved and didn't answer. I don't know if he was making a fuss. Huo Chong observed Liu Sijin carefully and was also a little confused. Is Liu Sijin still not satisfied?

If in the 21st century, Huo Chong dared to say "You are a good person" no matter what he said. "You are a good person" is a swear word in this industrial era, representing the naked negation and deep mockery.

But Huo Chong was about to try it out, and tried his best to muster up the courage and said, "Fourth brother, you are a good person. Brother, I said the wrong thing, don't worry."

After hearing Huo Chong's evaluation of "good people", Liu Sijin suddenly became angry and lost his grievance. His face looked much more energetic because of satisfaction.

Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, Liu Liehuo breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Sijin: "I just said Brother Huo is not a bad guy. Look, it's true."

"Yes, yes!" Liu Sijin responded quickly.

Huo Chong could only take this opportunity and said, "Both brothers, we are here, I'll invite you to drink."

When they heard the word "Wine", their eyes lit up. Half an hour later, both of them frowned and looked at the strong wine in the wine bowl. Huo Chong didn't say much, but just sipped a little slowly. It was indeed quite tormenting to drink high-altitude wine without meat.

Putting down the wine bowl, Liu Liehuo changed the topic, "Why are Brother Huo thinking about barley?"

"Make malt sugar." Huo Chong replied decisively.

"Brother Sijin, have you never planted barley?" Liu Liehuo asked Liu Sijin again.

Liu Sijin shook his head quickly, "I haven't planted it before."

"That's it." Liu Liehuo sighed.

Huo Chong felt that he had finally found a way to communicate with Liu Sijin, and asked with a lowered attitude of asking questions: "Second brother, I want to plant some beans. Can you help me? If you can't plant them, forget it. If you can plant them, we will get half of them. What do you think?"

Liu Sijin's head was shaking like a rattle, "It's already June, how can I grow something?"

"Fourth brother, I'll take a look at it all. How about you help me?" Huo Chong continued to ask for help.

Liu Sijin obviously refused. However, Liu Liehuo slapped the table, "Sijin, are you not giving face?! Everyone begged you, so what if you help me?"

Liu Liehuo squeezed his words, and Liu Sijin said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid I can't help. I've heard of farming in June!"

"Brother Huo, if you can't grow something..."

Listening to Liu Liehuo helping him speak, Huo Chong slapped his chest and said, "If you can't plant it, you'll be mine. In this way, I will give my fourth brother two kilograms of wheat a day when I grow beans this time. How do you think?"

With the benefits of reality, Liu Sijin's expression finally calmed down. After drinking half a tael of wine, Liu Sijin finally agreed.

At this time, the wheat has not been collected, and there are still many things to do after harvesting. Huo Chong continued his work first. On the seventh day of the sixth month, he burned a relatively clear pot of glass here. Huo Chong tried hard to make the glass as flat as possible, but he still couldn't be too satisfied. But how can he do it smoother? Huo Chong remembered the term "ground glass".

Anyway, there is only time. Huo Chong made a hand-crank transmission device, which drives a belt that can continuously rotate. In the past, it was ground back and forth, and with the belt polishing, it could be run in one direction.

Two days later, a slightly distorted glasses came out. Huo Chong had already made pine smoke in the grinding process. With the lenses, he finally made a smoky lens.

When I took this thing and looked directly at the change in the furnace and crucible, the feeling of the eyes being subjected to needlework was greatly reduced.

As soon as he finished it, Liu Sijin came to Huo Chong. Huo Chong felt a slight pain in his waist when he arrived at the ground. Even though he knew that this was scared, Huo Chong was still scared. But there was nothing he could do, he had to do it when it was time to do it.

Fortunately, Liu Sijin was not lazy at all when he was farming. Even though he was full of suspicion, he was not affected when he started working. Moreover, Huo Chong only sent out more than 300 potato sprouts. He planted some on the small piece of ground that had been destroyed before. This time the labor volume was not large, and the remaining potato sprouts were planted in two days.

On June 15th, Huo Chong continued to burn the stove at home, and Liu Sijin ran over again. Huo Chong was startled and asked quickly: "Is anyone doing something bad again?"

"I built a shed on the ground and kept watching." Liu Sijin replied.

Huo Chong became excited, "That's what I saw?"

"No. No one has gone these days." Liu Sijin said in a nagging manner: "I just saw Brother Huo's beans look good."

After hearing what Liu Sijin said, Huo Chong thought this was nothing nonsense. Earthworm soil is used to fertilize fruit trees and nurseries. The fruit trees and nurseries that use this thing grow well. Potatoes with strong vitality should grow well with earthworm soil.

However, Liu Sijin kept saying this over and over again. Huo Chong felt something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he asked, "Second Brother, do you want to use my fat?"

"Really?" Liu Sijin responded immediately. However, after he finished speaking, he shook his head repeatedly, "I'm just talking, telling me."

Huo Chong felt funny when he saw Liu Sijin like this. Thinking about it, Liu Sijin rented his own land at least, and if the output increased, he could also take more. "Second brother, when planting wheat this year, you go to my place to fatten."

Liu Sijin looked willing, but he was very disgusted. This made Huo Chong unable to understand what he wanted to do. After Huo Chong asked, Liu Sijin expressed his concern, "Will you use Huo Chong's fat, you have to give Huo Chong more food."

Huo Chong felt that people of this era were so cute and answered readily: "We won't mention this before the autumn harvest next year! Next year is the same as this year!"

After sending Liu Sijin away, Huo Chong felt that the people of this era were too much. Whether it was thinking mode or folk customs, they were not what Huo Chong liked. After thinking about it for a while, Huo Chong felt relieved. These two eras were not comparable. If Huo Chong collected land rent from Liu Sijin in the 21st century, he would still be 50% of the "renting half of it".

Liu Sijin posted this online, and the leaders of Zibo City had to supervise the situation personally. Huo Chong would also become a nationally famous representative of the "hometown genius" and be criticized by the industrial party. If Huo Chong's personal contact information is announced again, Huo Chong would be scolded to death by phone every day.

Times are different and social systems are different. Nothing is comparable.

Moreover, Huo Chong still has his own things to do at this time, and Xu Youlin will be here in another month. Huo Chong must hurry up and make glass. The experience he has accumulated is indeed becoming richer and richer, but he is always a bad breath before Huo Chong can take out something that looks like he buys ideas for people.

Porcelain and pottery are made first, so the mold can be made very exquisitely. After firing, at least the round ones should be round. It is necessary to set the glass at high temperatures, and there is no way to make porcelain and pottery at this temperature. So although firing glass is not particularly difficult, making glass itself is really technical.

Can molds be used to make glassware? Huo Chong has never read this information and has no confidence.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet, Huo Chong poured the red hot glass paste into the groove of the hot iron plate, then used large iron pliers to pick up an iron guy heated in the stove and covered it on the glass paste.

After more than a dozen rectifications, the iron guy added pillars of the same length on all sides. When the four pillars were firmly inserted into the bottom of the four corresponding holes of the iron plate, a glass bowl was pressed out.

When the temperature drops slightly, Huo Chong quickly removed the mold and took out the solidified glass bowl, crossing out the excess while it was hot. When the temperature of the glass bowl dropped to normal temperature, he started grinding with a belt grinding wheel.

Just after finishing a bowl, someone knocked on the door again. Since the problem of Master Liu coming to support Zhu Youquan in person, Li Tongshan also expressed his willingness to continue working with Huo Chong. He was responsible for making glass bottles and called the workers back to start work.

Huo Chong didn't want to be seen by someone, so he hurriedly covered up his things and then opened the door. He saw that Xu Youlin was standing outside the door. It was really beyond Huo Chong's expectations.

Unexpectedly, Xu Youlin's face was gloomy. After coming in, he directly took Huo Chongla to the main hall and said, "You failed to save all the people of Hong Dunzhu!"

Huo Chong was shocked at first, and then cursed in his heart: I x! Sure enough, some of those people were still dead.

"I'm not a doctor, how can I help my life?" Huo Chong immediately retorted. After saying this, Huo Chong felt that he had the truth. "When those people left, I had treated the holes on their bodies!"

Seeing Huo Chong so arrogant, Xu Youlin sighed, "Brother Huo, I saw two brothers who were not dead. Their voids were so big that they would be lucky if they could survive. But Hong Duzhu was just like that, and he seemed to say that I recommend you, you were not interested enough."

Finally, I can use 'me' instead of 'me', Huo Chong just wanted to say a few more words to Xu Youlin, "I..."
