After the three brothers of the Lin family bought the kiln, they said they would do it, but the other two brothers couldn't get the money to buy bricks in the first kiln, so Lin Guilu had to pay for it first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After buying the bricks of the whole kiln, you have to ask the brick picker to carry the mud bricks into the kiln one by one. The bricks are raised layer by layer, leaving flues and ventilation slots between the bricks to regulate the temperature. The three brothers took the fire master to set up a case in front of the kiln to burn incense, and offered pig's head, rooster, and carp, praying to the god of fire to bless the kiln for success. Finally, the top was capped with flat bricks, and then the kiln was fired, and the three brothers of the Lin family were all on the kiln. Now the most important thing is to burn, and among the three brothers, only Lin Guifu is the most proficient in this way, and he has invited a master who often cooperates with him. The two were divided into classes, and Lin Guilu and Lin Guixi gave these two hands.

After the kiln is started, it will be burned for seven or eight days or even ten days, depending on the heat. If the heat is not burned through, the brick must be brittle and broken, if it is burned too much, the brick will be deformed, and the crooked melon and cracked date are also waste. When the fire is almost ready, the fire must be sealed. Sealing the fire is to block the kiln door, including all the firewood inlets, air inlets, fire viewing eyes and the chimney on the top of the kiln are tightly sealed, and the gaps should be pasted with mud. Then it is necessary to pour water into the kiln, and there are several large water tanks on the kiln, and the kiln workers keep carrying water into the water tank. There are skilled veterans who slowly pour water into several water outlets. If the water is not good, it will also destroy the bricks of a kiln, and then the previous efforts will be wasted. There is too much water and too little water, whether it is fast or slow. When the water is finished, the temperature in the kiln has almost dropped, and you can leave the kiln. The best bricks fired are called "mung bean greens", and when you hit them with your fingers, they make a sound as crisp as metal.

From the beginning of buying the clay billet to the kiln, it took nearly 20 days before and after, but finally the first kiln was successfully fired, and it was almost sold after the cost was removed, and each family also received two or three taels of silver. The three brothers of the Lin family are full of enthusiasm and are ready to make persistent efforts.

At this time, it is already late spring, and the weather is getting hotter. On this day, Jiang called his busy sons to his side and said:

"My cousin of my mother's family, Jiang Jiazhuang, will celebrate his seventieth birthday in a few days, and he has already sent me a letter asking me to go back and get together. My brothers and sisters will all be going over when the time comes, what is our family's plan, you can help me get an idea. Whoever is free will accompany me there. ”

The eldest Lin Guifu said: "Mom, now that the three of us brothers are very busy, it is better to ask a few younger ones to accompany you." ”

Lin Guilu also said: "Mom, why don't you go to my house for two days first, and then buy you some clothes or something, so that you can go back to your parents' house and enjoy the scenery." ”

Jiang Shi also nodded in agreement when she heard this, this was what she meant when she summoned a few sons. Now that his sons are a little capable, he is embarrassed to go to his parents' house to walk around. Lin Guilu took the time to send Jiang to the town and rushed back to the kiln. With the help of Qi, daughter-in-law Luo Hongmei and Lin Yujuan, he made new clothes for the old lady. Jiang has never worked in the fields in his life, usually just doing some housework at home, his skin is fair, and his face does not have as many wrinkles as other old women in the countryside. So after tidying up, she really looks like a rich old lady.

On the eighth day of the first month of April, the weather is sunny, the wind is beautiful, and it is a good day to travel if it is neither hot nor cold. The eldest uncle's Tiejuan, Lin Yujuan, Yusuo, and the pillars of the third uncle's family accompanied Lijuan to accompany the Jiang family back to Jiangjiazhuang to visit relatives and pay their respects. The boat also carries longevity banners, longevity peaches, cakes, wine, a pot of evergreen and so on. The three sisters are naturally dressed up, they are all young, Lin Tiejuan is stable and generous, Lin Yujuan is also gentle and lovely, and the most outstanding is naturally Lijuan, which is simply 360 degrees without dead ends. Tie Juan has also found her mother-in-law's family, and she will get married after the autumn harvest. The pillar has been looking for it, and now that there is a kiln at home, the third aunt took the opportunity to cast a net everywhere to find her daughter-in-law. I don't know why Lijuan hasn't found her mother-in-law yet, and it stands to reason that it's not difficult for her to find someone who is a little more generous. Lin Yujuan's cousins sat on the bow of the boat and chatted together, rowing naturally with jade locks and pillars. Lin Yujuan suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach, but it was not convenient to go out, so she could only endure it, so she went into the cabin to rest.

The boat walked for more than half an hour and arrived outside Jiang's village, and under Jiang's guidance, the two of them rowed to the nearest pier with the jade lock and the pillar. There are several other boats moored on the dock, and one of the boats next to the Lin family's boat has just docked. The pillar and the jade lock jumped neatly to the shore, one to put the anchor, and the other to set up the gangplank. Jiang also went ashore with the support of Tiejuan Lijuan. Lin Yujuan was sluggish because of her stomach, and everyone went ashore, so she slowly climbed out of the cabin and prepared to go ashore.

She only had to cross the one-foot-wide clamp between the middle cabin and the bow to reach the bow, and then go ashore through the gangplank. Lin Yujuan stepped out of her right foot as usual, stepped over the clamp compartment and was about to stand at the bow of the boat, when the boat suddenly received a collision and shook from side to side. Lin Yujuan's center of gravity was unstable, and her legs straddled the edge of the clamp cabin in a posture of 7.

"Ah~" Lin Yujuan screamed.

"Yujuan, what's wrong with you? Did you fall? ”

"It was the boat next to you that hit our boat that caused you to fall, sister." Lin Yusuo said and shouted at the boat next to him:

"What did you do, you made the boat rock when you went ashore, and my sister fell."

The man had already gone ashore, and when he heard the screams, he turned his head to see what was going on. After Lin Yusuo's reminder, I realized that I was actually in trouble. So he hurriedly apologized: "Xiaosheng was reckless, and the girl fell, I don't know where it hurt?" ”

Lin Yujuan raised her head and glared at the culprit fiercely, it turned out to be a scholar.

"I'll just take a break." Lin Yujuan got into the cabin again in pain. She really can't say anything about her pain this time, and she can't say that she can't say okay where she hurts. Did she tell the other party, you caused me to fall and **** was injured? Mom, it really hurts, it hurts to death.

"Girl, are you alright? You can rest assured that if you hurt something, Xiaosheng will definitely ask a doctor to treat you. "This nasty scholar is still nagging on the shore.

At this time, Lin Tiejuan and Lin Lijuan also went to the cabin to see how Lin Yujuan was doing. Lin Yujuan heard the scholar still nagging outside and said to the two cousins: "I'll rest for a while, tell that guy to shut up, I'll be annoyed when I hear it." ”

Lin Lijuan poked her head out of the hatch when she heard her cousin's words and said, "My sister is fine, just take a rest, please take a break." “
