128 in the kiln

Ming Yi happily lifted two buckets and walked towards the kiln.

Xia Mujin gave instructions to the other aunts, and when she saw that her mother was also helping, she ran over.

"Mother, you just take care of a few children, they are still young, and there are hot water knives everywhere here, so as not to hurt them by mistake."

Some husbands and wives came to help, and some of the aunts brought their grandchildren at home, Xia Mujin asked them to bring the children, which was nothing more than a mouthful of food, and she took care of it, and among these children, the eldest was only three or four years old, and the older ones were estimated to be sensible, so they didn't bring them over, probably because they saw a lot of people, and they all hid in the corner.

Today, there are many people in the family, coming and going, it is inevitable that they will not pay attention, besides, this thing is moved around, and they are afraid of touching it and putting it aside, and the mother has a stomach, she is not at ease, so she found an excuse.

Hearing this, Aunt Xia slapped her forehead and said:

"Look at my memory, children are important, children are important."

As she spoke, she walked towards a few children, and she didn't know what she said to a few children, only to see that several children were looking eager to follow their mother to the side.

Xia Mujin shook his head and smiled, and went to see the mung bean porridge.

"Jin'er, come and see if this porridge is good."

The sixth aunt was getting up at the moment, Xu is uncle Dadong was going to use hot water again, urging her, and when she saw the hibiscus coming over, she used a wooden spoon to stir a few times in the pot, and then said loudly.

Xia Mujin walked over quickly, took the wooden spoon and looked at it, nodded his head, and then found two large wooden barrels, and poured the hot mung bean porridge into the wooden barrel with the cooperation of Aunt Sixth and Uncle Dadong.

This barrel is extra-large, one bucket is enough to hold a hundred catties, Xia Mujian can't lift it, Ming Peng came back and waited on the side, seeing her and the aunt to carry the cauldron, scared not to fall, if this is hot, the boss has to pull off a layer of skin when he comes back, but he is still a step late, did not help her, fortunately nothing happened.

Seeing that the two barrels were steaming hot, he rushed over, carrying one in one hand, and said:

"I'll send it over, reads();!"

Xia Mujin was a little surprised by his arm strength, but he quickly took a flat shoulder out, and was about to speak, but saw him striding away without breathing with two buckets.

"Ah, Jin'er, what did this kid eat to grow up, why is this strength so great, and he is not fat!"

When the sixth aunt saw it, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, and it wasn't until there was a crackling sound in the pot that she came back to her senses and hurriedly added water to the pot, only to hear a zila, and a burst of black smoke came out of the pot, but the sixth aunt patted her chest in fear.

This pot was borrowed by hibiscus, and if it burns out, it will be a big loss.

Xia Mujin smiled, carried a basket of bowls and chopsticks, and took a wooden spoon and walked towards the kiln.

By the time she arrived, she had already laid four bricks, which was relatively slow, but it was good for them to do it for the first time.

She put the basket next to the barrel, put the spoon into the barrel, looked up at the sky, and estimated that it should be about half past ten at the moment, and the place where she stood was the only big poplar tree she left, which was so big that it covered half of the sky here.

Ming Peng was next to him, and there was a big wooden basin behind them, which was filled with water, the water was very clear, Xia Mu Hibiscus reached out and tried it, it was very cold, it was estimated that it had just been released from the river, and it was also possible that they were preparing to drink.

She asked Ming Peng to put the bucket of mung bean porridge into this wooden basin, and when she saw the sweaty people, she waited for a while, and then said loudly:

"Let's come and drink some mung bean porridge, it may be a little hot, just enough to rest."

The conditions at home are not good, and they came out early in the morning, at this moment, they are indeed hungry, and just now they drank salt and ginger water to pad their stomachs, and they heard that there is mung bean porridge, everyone is very surprised, and they admire Xia Mujian's generosity.

They can't eat this stuff all year round.

The second egg and they got used to it when they arrived, they all wiped the beads of sweat, put down the tools in their hands and walked over to this side.

Xia Mujin took the lead in filling a bowl and walked towards his brother.

Then he went around the kiln again, looking here and there, and finally said to the resting people:

"Everyone has worked hard, it's very good, but please master this brick more tightly, after all, there is still moisture in this brick, and when it is burned, the moisture will dry, and the brick will become smaller, and the gap inside will be too big and it will not be firm."

Xia Mujin tried not to say it so absolutely, and it was very tactful, after all, the gap in this brick is really big, it may fall down, and if she says this, everyone will definitely be more nervous, it can be seen that this second brother is very reliable, and these people invited are honest and not good at words, but when Xia Muhibiscus said this, the hand holding the bowl still paused.

Xia Mujin is kind and generous, and they also let their children bring their children to the house for dinner, they can't hurt her because of their negligence.

Besides, this is obviously such a strict mistake, not only does she not blame them, she doesn't scold them, but she also says pleases so politely, which makes all of them embarrassed.

Besides, the Wang family came to see the joke just now, and the same is true for the Zhou family, the height of this kiln is more than ten meters, and it takes technology to build it brick by brick, but she is so relieved to leave things to them.

As soon as the people looked at each other, they quickly drank the mung bean soup in their hands, and began to work.

However, they moved brick by brick until they seemed to have been glued to cement, and could not move half a minute by hand, before moving another brick.

Seeing this, Xia Muhiscus was very moved, and with a flick of his sleeves, he joined their team.

When everyone saw this, they worked even harder.

Mingyi and Mingpeng also joined in.

Seeing that everyone was proficient, and the previous four-way bricks had been made, Xia Mujin clapped his hands and left with confidence.

After going back, she was not idle, but began to make the only dish she had to do today, this dish is called flour paste, which is also a must-serve dish at every banquet in her modern hometown.

First of all, she added flour and water, and stirred, and the water was thin, just like porridge, because there was only one dish, and she made it on the stove in her house.

"Hibiscus girl, do you need a fire?"

Ming Yi helped set the table, and when he saw that Xia Muhito was adding firewood and stirring up something, he stepped forward and asked.

"Brother Mingyi, I just need someone to help."

Xia Mujin smiled at him, and then he was busy with the work in his hands, Ming Yi did not delay, and walked in a few big strides and squatted directly by the stove.

Natsuki didn't let them call her honorific, and they kept calling her like that.

Natsuki added water to the pot, then washed the soaked enoki mushrooms, cut them into two sections with a knife and put them in a large bowl.

Here, seeing that the water was boiling, he added some salt to the flour paste he had just mixed and stirred well, and then slowly poured it along the wall of the pot, and stirred it in the pot with a large wooden spoon in one hand, until the whole was bubbling and gurgling, and then sprinkled the enoki mushrooms evenly into it, stirred well, and finally slowly beat ten eggs into it, and sprinkled some pepper into it when it came out of the pot.

She didn't put it in a bowl, but in a wooden barrel, and when it was time to serve it, she brought eleven large bowls, and filled eleven bowls.

Ming Yi and Ming Peng helped.

"Hibiscus girl, what is this?"

This fragrance is very special, and they have all tasted her craftsmanship, every new dish is a delicacy in the world, at this moment, seeing the slimy things in this bowl, there are egg flowers and enoki mushrooms floating on it, the two of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the straightforward Ming Peng still couldn't help but ask.

"Well, let's call it flour paste!"

Xia Mujin didn't marry a decent name for it at this time, so he borrowed it from his modern hometown.

At the entrance of the courtyard there is a large wooden basin filled with a wooden basin of water, and there are some soap horns next to it, which are specially used for those who have returned from work to wash their hands.

Everyone didn't expect this summer hibiscus to think so thoughtfully, and the fatigue was also relieved a lot at the moment, so they all bent down to wash their hands and found a table to sit.

Seeing that the chicken, duck and fish meat were still in a big pot, they couldn't help but wet their eyes, and seeing that their children were also there, they were grateful to Xia Mujian a little more.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed, these ten days, are Ming Peng drove a carriage to the town to buy vegetables before dawn, Ming Yi is responsible for taking care of the house, protecting Xia Mu Hibiscus, and Xia Mu Hibiscus is still running at both ends of the kitchen and the kiln, and still prepares mung bean porridge and salt ginger water for them every day, after all, this weather is hot, easy to heat stroke, with these two things, the probability of heat stroke is basically zero reads();.

Because everyone is skilled, this brick has been laid to one hundred and sixty roads, and today, it is the time to make the hoop wire.

Xia Mujin let people carry the steel wire to the kiln early, this steel wire was Ming Yi they helped to get, not thick, Xia Mu Hibiscus just in case, then twisted eight into one, which is thicker than the thumb, and every forty bricks to hoop one, play a fixed role.

Ming Yi and Ming Peng have a foundation in martial arts, and she asked them to find more than a dozen people from before, and today's task was handed over to them.

Because the size of the kiln has a bottom in Xia Muhibiscus's heart, the length of this steel wire she prepared will only be short and not long, and generally people with little strength will not be able to complete this task.

In addition, she asked Brother Erdan to tie hemp rope around his waist, hugged the thick branch of the cave, and asked him to stuff firewood in the other five holes, of course, this person is too tired to do this, and although there are caves in this place, the air is still thin, so she asked the black cow to take turns to alternate, one person takes a turn.

"Okay, hoop tight, hoop again."

Xia Mu Jinbian commanded a few people to pinch the bricks with their fingers, the weather has been extremely hot these days, and the bricks have been built up a lot, so you have to pay special attention to this hoop, and you must not send it.

When the second hoop was ready, Natsuki shouted to the person in front of him:

"Ignition!"

There were already people sitting at the entrance of the seven caves, and behind them was a large pile of firewood, piled up like a mountain, and after Xia Mujin finished speaking, he carried the charcoal that had been gathered in the past few days and poured it towards the cave in the middle.

"There are still forty bricks, I hope you will work hard to finish all these bricks before they are hot."

A little bit of the bottom fire, the tongue of fire came out between the seven caves, even if it was still in the scorching sun, Xia Mujin stood on the top of the kiln, looking at the bottom, and opened a little bitterly.

After all, the higher this kiln, everyone has to step on the wooden bridge to carry the bricks, even this brick has to bear two less, and the speed will definitely not be as fast as the previous days.

Therefore, she handed over the task of cooking mung bean porridge and preparing salt and ginger water to Sister Ermiao and Sister Yanzi today, and she was guarding it like this.

This fire is together, the heat is fluttering, and you can feel it from ten meters away, and you have never experienced it, and your legs are shaking one by one when you step on the wood with bricks.

"Don't be afraid, the steel wire has fixed the kiln, and it will take at least a day and a night for this brick to heat up, so as long as we work hard now, I believe it can be completed tonight."

Xia Mujin tried to encourage them, but as soon as Hu fell, someone answered.

"Of course it's easy for you to say or not to do it, look at it, how high this is, not to mention that this fire burns, if this falls, you have to go to half a life, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, although my Wang family is not as generous as her Xia Mujian, but I don't want everyone's life!"

And the person who said this was none other than Wang Shoucai, who had not come forward in the past few days, and it was estimated that this matter had spread and fanned the flames.

And when he said this, some people who were about to bend down to pick bricks hesitated.

Xia Mujin was still a little anxious in her heart, after all, this is already the last step, and every point is extremely important, looking at the tongue of fire that jumped up at the bottom and the shaky wood board, she didn't go to fight with Wang Shoucai and others, but quickly stepped on the wood board, and then took the flat pole and the brick tool to the side, sandwiched two bricks at one end, and slowly walked on the wood board reads();.

This brick is about fifteen catties at this time, so the two bricks she picked are sixty catties at least, which is still very difficult for a thirteen-year-old girl.

And her move stunned everyone, and in an instant, she hung her head in shame, and even threw away her hesitation just now and accelerated her pace.

Ming Yi and the others went up to persuade them, but Xia Mujin just didn't listen, but once he went up with them.

Wang Shoucai didn't expect Xia Mujin to come to this move, and this move was better than saying a hundred and a thousand words at the same time, blowing his beard angrily and glaring at him, and finally had to leave in disgrace.

And as soon as they walked on the front foot, a black shadow disappeared behind them, and later, it is said that the Wang family was beaten by a ghost, and the beating was miserable, unrecognizable, and they couldn't come out for at least two months.

Xia Muhibiscus worked with everyone for a morning, I don't know how many times I walked back and forth, at this moment, my feet didn't seem to be my own, the whole was numb, and her body was also sore and backache, and she couldn't stretch, but she didn't hum, and forced herself to eat two big bowls when she ate.

But this morning was still sunny and cloudless, and just after lunch, it was cloudy, as if a rainstorm was coming.

The fire that just burned today must not be extinguished, and if it is extinguished, it will be difficult to light it again.

"What can I do?"

Xia Lin was anxious, looking at the black and oppressive sky, his eyes were moist.

Ming Yi and the others also looked at Xia Mu Hibiscus worriedly.

"Miss Jin'er, you gave this mouthful of rice, and my black cow will die on the kiln today and will do it until the last moment."

The black cow plus the old and the young, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a child is Xia Muhibiscus so that her daughter-in-law has soup to drink, the child has milk to drink, and it is also the two taels of silver that she predicted that made him give his mother medicine and save his mother's life, he owes her I'm afraid that she won't be able to pay it off in the next life, so it is worth it to help her, even if it is to take your own life.

"Jin'er, my second egg is a cheap life, and I don't have any relatives at home, my uncle and aunt are my relatives, I'm the same as the black cow, I won't kiln until the last moment."

"Thank you, folks, I'm not reluctant at this moment, tonight's afternoon and evening are related to our efforts these days, if you don't want to do it again, go to my mother to get the shade and go home, if you can trust my life is harder than the sky, then pick up things and go with me to finish the rest of the work."

Xia Mujin bowed to Hei Niu and Brother Erdan with infinite gratitude, and then said to everyone, and after speaking, he was the first to walk out.

Erdan, the black cow, Xia Linlin, father and son, and Father Xia followed.

Father Xia is now a firefighter in a cave, and he is in charge of a cave.

"Oh, it's really God's eyes, I thought this practice shit luck would go a lifetime, I heard that today this kiln will be finished, the bottom of this kiln has been ignited, at this time God is wise to rain, you say, this girl is not retribution."

Wu also just finished lunch, these ten days are full of things about the Xia family's kiln, in addition to praise is envy, she is itchy to hear it, seeing that it is going to rain this day, she is happy to die-
