128 in the kiln (there is another chapter later)
Everyone finished breakfast early and took the tools distributed by Xia Mu Hibiscus, because Xia Mu Hibiscus had done their homework before, and they probably knew what to do, but they were still inevitably nervous.
"Don't be nervous, take it one step at a time, follow the steps!"
Xia Mujin is actually a little nervous, after all, she has only seen the kiln before, and she has not practiced it, but whether it is the steps or the things needed, she is still very well prepared, as long as everyone works together and works together, there should be no problem.
Brother Erdan and Dad took the lead in picking up the bricks, Xia Muhibiscus exhaled deeply, and followed them forward, although Brother's feet can walk, but it is not suitable to bear too heavy force, but his hands are strong, so he automatically applies to move the bricks to build the kiln, and when Brother Erdan and Dad's first bricks are put down, he will start to do it.
"Yes, brother, that's it, it's good!"
Xia Mujin saw that his technique was very qualified, and the corners of his mouth drew a shallow arc, and he opened his mouth in agreement.
With someone taking the lead, everyone let go, and they all picked bricks once you and me, while the other part of the people cooperated with Xia Tieshu to start building the kiln.
When the first layer of bricks was laid, Xia Mujin went to see the seven caves, and felt that it was very good in terms of distance and size, and nodded with satisfaction and encouraged:
"Everyone is doing a good job, I believe that the first kiln bricks will come out in half a month, and I hope that in the near future we can all live in this house made of fire bricks!"
When Xia Muhibiscus said this, everyone seemed to be more confident, and they all believed that as long as they followed the hibiscus girl, they would never suffer, but now they have an income of 200 wen a day, and they also have lunch, which is like pie falling from the sky to them.
After guarding for about half an hour, it was not until the cave in the middle gradually appeared that Xia Mujin told everyone to be careful before returning home.
This kiln is not only a new thing, but also a major event in the village, in addition to the people who come to work, almost all the people in the village have come to join in the fun, at this time, standing not far from the work, men and women, old and young, standing full of people, seeing Xia Hibiscus coming is to smile and greet her.
Xia Mujian bowed his head slightly, and did not chat.
"What is this? Isn't it just a few adobe bricks? I can't get it, and I'm putting up a shelf, hmph, I want to see what kind of fame this practitioner can do. ”
"Mother, don't say a word, people are now the great benefactors of the village, and they can't be offended."
"Cailian is right, sister-in-law of the Zhou family, people are different from the past now, how can we talk about it."
Faintly, there was such a conversation in his ears, and Xia Mujin only pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and left without looking back.
You Shi was locked up at home for a month, but he was very clear about the outside world, just having this Tang Sanwan's big mouth was enough, besides, the Wang family is not as good as a day by day, and she will look at her face when she goes, so she came to her house to chat, on the one hand, how powerful the Wang family is, and on the other hand, how beautiful Xia Mujin is.
She still doesn't know what's going on with the red of this body, and she can't even wash it off, she almost rubbed herself off a layer of skin, and thought she had some strange disease, but her mother-in-law was also like this, and Tang Sanwan also came to the house to cry, saying that her Liu Mazi didn't know what was going on recently, and suddenly came back red, and he couldn't wash it off, and this Wang master was also like this, he still knew a lot about the people of the Wang family, so he read out the name of the water that day, and the result was the same, the same as her Liu Mazi, It hasn't been seen since.
At that moment, she knew that this qiē was all Xia Mu Hibiscus making trouble.
It's hard to come out today, but it's the day when the summer hibiscus kiln starts, and although I can't do anything to her, it's still okay to be tongue-in-cheek.
Besides, she and her mother-in-law can't go out these days, and there is no oil at home to boil, Zhou Yousheng paid her fifty wen this month, and it was confiscated by her mother-in-law, and she got it if she confiscated it, but she still had to accuse her of being incapable.
Zhou Guilian has never worked to make money, the family will mourn every time they eat, and they don't know the taste of food, Zhou Xiaolian will fall into the well, and when she eats all day long, she will run to the wall of Xia Mujian's house to smell, and when she comes back, she will angrily say what vegetables and meat her family has eaten today
But he didn't her off, and he beat her away with a broom several times, but she did it again at the next meal.
The Wu family has not had a good face for her recently, but she is a little too enthusiastic about the two brothers Zhou Changchang, and besides, she has swallowed all the things that the two brothers sent her, which was not like this before.
It seems that everyone in this family has left their hearts, and if this situation does not improve, this family will not be a family.
And the more this is the case, the more she hates Xia Mujian's family
When Xia Mujin returned home, the family was already busy, and Aunt Six and Sister Yanzi took the lead and were picking up vegetables.
The other aunts wiped the table and boiled the water.
Fortunately, the yard at home is big enough, and two stoves were temporarily set up outside, the village chief Yang Dadong used to be a chef, and the village used to ask him to cook for red and white ceremonies, and today is no exception, the same cook.
Speaking of luck, a few days ago they went up the mountain to get firewood, and they hunted a wild boar back, this wild boar can be fat, a full three hundred and twenty-two pounds, today before dawn, she asked them to kill the wild boar, at this moment, Yang Dadong is cleaning up.
Sister Er Miao also came today, Xu is Wang family had accidents one after another, and they didn't have the energy to go to her house to find trouble, and Xia Muhibiscus was also strong, so they didn't dare to make a move.
When I saw her, I smiled astringently, and I helped Sister Yanzi to do her work.
Next, Xia Mujin moved the tables and stools of Brother Erdan and the sixth aunt of the village chief's family, and borrowed two from the other two families, even with the dishes and chopsticks, there are hundreds of people who do things alone, plus more than a dozen people at home to help, so she prepared eleven tables.
The firewood used today is all coarse wooden blocks, and this lump weighs more than ten catties, or it is a thick branch, thicker than a normal person's thigh, and it will take some technology to burn this fire.
"Sixth aunt, please wait to take out all the firewood and charcoal, as soon as possible, preferably when this firewood is burned to seven minutes."
Seeing the sixth aunt burning the fire next to the stove, Xia Muhibiscus walked over and admonished.
Although the sixth aunt was puzzled, she didn't say much, the girl Hibiscus is a brain, she must have her use in saying this, so she grinned: "Good at it!" ”
In the past few days, Xia Mujin has been relatively busy, so he did not go to the town, but made a list and asked Ming Peng to go to the town to buy vegetables.
There are pheasants, wild boars, bamboo rats, mushrooms, fish, and some ingredients and side dishes to buy.
Therefore, Ming Peng came back early.
The snail meat was relatively expensive, and it was troublesome to make, so she didn't let it be served.
So he asked Ming Peng to buy some beef back, and then there were eggs, enoki mushrooms, flour, eggplant, beans, cucumbers and other basic dishes.
She was planning for ten bowls per table, all of which, of course, were oversized.
Moreover, she only had this meal, she cooked almost sixty catties, and added another ten catties of rice to the budget.
"Aunt Six, is this water okay?"
Seeing that everyone was busy, Xia Mujin brought the mung beans soaked last night by himself, and when he saw that the water in the pot was boiling, he asked.
"Dongzi, this water is boiling, is it okay?"
This water was asked by the village chief Yang Dadong to cook it, probably to make pork, and when she saw Xia Muhibiscus, she asked Yang Dadong, who was scalding pig hair with iron tongs.
Yang Dadong walked over and took a look, then nodded, bit a wire in his mouth, and probably brought a big wooden barrel over without speaking, pointing to the pot and then to the bucket.
The sixth aunt immediately understood, so she called Sister Yanzi, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law poured hot water into the wooden bucket.
At this time, Xia Mujin brought a small bucket of water, and when he saw that the pot was empty, he poured the water into it, and then returned to carry the water.
Then drain the mung beans and pour them directly into the pot.
"Hibiscus, is this going to cook mung bean porridge again?"
The sixth aunt looked at the mung beans in the pot with some distress and asked Xia Mujian.
This mung bean is two or three times more expensive than rice, and they are never willing to eat it, but this girl, who boiled it for a few people who made bricks twice in three days, she was not worth it for hibiscus.
After all, it is not easy to make this money, and it can be said that she exchanged her life for it, but it is also too good for herself and her fellow villagers, so good that she feels guilty and distressed.
Looking at her reluctant gaze, Xia Mujin smiled gratefully and said:
"Auntie, everyone earns hard-earned money, if it is heat stroke or something happens, I will not feel guilty for the rest of my life, besides, in this way, everyone is grateful, and I Xia Mujin will find someone to help in the future!"
Seeing that the sixth aunt gave her a thumbs up, Xia Mujin smiled, and went to prepare salt and ginger water with an empty bucket.
He also asked Ming Peng to buy two catties of brown sugar, and by the way, he also prepared a bucket of brown sugar water, and when he saw Ming come in, he just stopped him:
"Brother Mingyi, please help me bring these to the kiln, after being busy for so long, everyone must be thirsty."
Seeing this, Ming Yi happily picked up two barrels and walked towards the kiln-
