After dinner, Tian Fei's yard.

At this time, many people came to Tian Fei's house, all of them helped Tian Fei grow corn.

Some came alone, some came in groups, and some came with children, and everyone was elated.

"Yulan, you've been here for seven days, that's more than two hundred yuan."

"Sister-in-law Lanxin, aren't you the same, are you going to cut a pound of pork to eat tomorrow?"

"Fei Yanzi is quite thick, I will get the money when I finish it, I did it in the flower explosion factory, I took it off for three months, and I haven't paid it yet."

……

Everyone was chattering.

……

Tian Fei turned on the lights in the yard, and then moved a table and placed it under the eaves. Everyone immediately stopped the discussion and gathered around.

"Don't rush, don't rush! The money is there, and there will be no shortage of everyone", patting his wallet, Tian Fei said jokingly.

"Whoever I read next, whoever will receive it, don't mess up."

"Tian Guangde, seven days, 210 yuan."

"Here, here", an old man happily took the money from Tian Zhensheng's hand.

"Wang Shufang, five and a half days, 165 yuan."

"Tian Jiuyi, seven days, 210 yuan."

……

With Tian Fei's roll call, one by one they all received money from Tian Fei's father, Tian Zhensheng. The more is more than 200, and the less is 180 yuan.

Tian Fei sent a total of more than 26,000 yuan out, and there was also more than 1,000 yuan for the morning buns. Including the 5,000 yuan for seeds, 50,000 yuan for fertilizers, and some pesticides, nearly 83,000 yuan was spent on corn fields.

……

After that, Tian Fei stopped the people who were cutting down the trees and told them to stay for a while, planning to tell them about the construction of the charcoal kiln.

"Uncles and uncles, I asked you to stay for a while, mainly because there is something to discuss with you." Tian Fei said, "You also know that there are so many branches, it's a pity to sell them as firewood, and then I plan to burn them into charcoal." I asked Dabao to be in charge of burning, and then I want to ask you to help me dig the kiln, now everyone is an old acquaintance, and I can rest assured that you will do it. ”

"That's a good thing, of course I did."

"yes, yes, I'm doing this too."

……

In the end, these 20 villagers all stayed behind to help Tian Fei dig the kiln.

"Don't worry, the treatment is still according to the time when the tree is cut, 60 yuan a day."

"Then go to-morrow morning at the foot of the fir tree and a few with a dustpan and hoe and shovel. Dabao will guide us on how to do it. ”

……

Early in the morning, at the foot of the fir mountain.

"Fei Yanzi, you see, to build a kiln, generally choose a place near the water source to build, the capacity is determined according to the need, our words, build can be loaded with charcoal firewood 5000-6000 catties is the most suitable." Tian Dabao said.

"According to you, should we start building a kiln from this piece?" Tian Fei pointed to a piece of flat land not far from the river and said.

This flat land is about 20 meters long, backed by a soil slope, and the soil is poor, so there is no corn planted, just enough to dig a kiln.

"That's right, this slope is just right to dig a cave, and it's also convenient to get water near the river, so I'll look at the soil again."

After speaking, Tian Dabao took a hoe and began to dig on the slope in front of the flat land.

After digging about a dustpan of soil and forming a pit of more than 20 centimeters, Tian Dabao took a closer look, and then pinched a handful of soil with his hands and rubbed it in his hands, the soil was delicate.

"We're lucky, this piece is suitable for digging a kiln."

Tian Dabao was a little excited, and then ordered these people standing next to him, "Don't look at it, dig up some soil every five meters or so from here to the west, so I can take a look." ”

After that, everyone dispersed in turn, and a few meters apart someone dug a pit to test the soil.

Maybe it's because they are all in this area, so the soil quality is similar, Tian Dabao checked the soil quality, and it is suitable for digging kilns.

"Okay, everyone comes around, I'll teach you to dig the first kiln first, and then learn to build the other kilns." Tian Dabao began to teach his disciples, and Tian Fei also gathered around to listen carefully.

"First of all, we have to choose the slope to be a little bit, and then we dig in horizontally..."

"Tian Xiaowen, come here, dig a hole from here and go in, one meter high and fifty centimeters wide is enough."

A man who was not tall in his forties walked over and, according to what Tian Dabao said, began to dig a hole. Then others pushed the excavated soil out of the way. There are many people with great strength, and soon they dug a freezer more than half a meter long.

Later, Tian Dabao said, "We have to burn more than 5,000 catties of firewood in a kiln, and the space in the cave should be larger." The cave can be dug 1.5 meters high, 2 meters wide and 3 meters long. Dig the soil by yourself, and dig it out by yourself. Be careful, don't dig up. I'll take the others to dig another kiln, and I'll come back to see you later." ”

instructed the two to do it first, and Tian Dabao led people to dig the next kiln. You can't let everybody stand and watch.

……

Today must have been digging a kiln all day, Tian Fei planned to go back after watching it. He's going to take a look at the pig farm that's under construction.

From the cedar forest to the bald mountain pig farm, it is a ten-minute walk. I saw that most of the two houses had already risen, one was a small pig farm, and the other was the mill that Tian Fei dreamed of.

After looking around the house for a while, I saw Pingping. Tian Fei took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to Pingping.

"Pingping, I think the mill is going to be up soon?" Tian Fei asked.

"How can it be so fast, in order to prevent rats from entering, the mill is built with a flat roof, and it will take a while."

"Also, we're going to put a beam on the pigsty first. All the beams, rafters, and crocks, you say, come out of your own cedar tree, you have to hurry. ”

"Don't worry, my second uncle is a carpenter, tomorrow I will ask him to take his apprentice to this site to make it, if you have any requirements, just mention it to my uncle."

"Well, that's the best, and ah, there's going to be a ceremony on the beam then, and you have to be ready." Ping Ping said.

"Didn't we have a ritual before?" Tian Fei was a little puzzled.

"The previous one was a ceremony to lay the foundation stone, and the upper beam was different from this." Ping Ping explained.

In the countryside, everyone cares about these rituals very much, Tian Fei also plans to follow the customs of the countryside and respect these traditions, it's a big deal to let his grandfather come, anyway, these older generations understand it.

……

After that, Tian Fei went to the pig farm again.

I saw Sun Yonglin holding a saw and a hammer and knocking.

"Yonglin, what's going on?"

"It's not that these pigs are too lively, a few wooden strips on the railing are a little loose, I saw a few wooden squares to nail them firmly."

The piglets were brought back and raised for more than a month, and they grew very well, and the big ones were already more than 100 catties. Tian Fei saw that these pigs were indeed very energetic, and they were humming and scurrying in the pigsty one by one.

"You are responsible for raising these pigs so well! Take credit to you, when the time comes, you will kill the pig, and you will eat more meat. Tian Fei said with a smile.

"Okay, that's what you said, I'll eat it open."

"No problem?"
