135 Clayey soil
In the blink of an eye, another four days passed, and it was also the time to accept the results, so early in the morning, Xia Muhibiscus got up and took his family to the kiln.
At this time, at dawn, Xia Muhibiscus thought that she had come early, but she didn't expect that when she came, the kiln was already full of people, all of whom were villagers, looking up one by one, and there was no lack of surprise in their eyes.
Seeing Xia Mujin and the others coming, everyone made a way out, and they all looked at her with envy and admiration and smiled.
Xia Mu Hibiscus smiled at everyone, and at the same time walked into the kiln, seven days, the fire never stopped, this kiln burned very successfully, the red bricks, very eye-catching, Xia Mu Hibiscus couldn't help but go around the kiln, and finally smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Ming Yi and the others were also surprised, they were all licking blood at the edge of the knife, coming and going in the wind and rain, where there was war, there would be them, besides, they had long been accustomed to killing in their world, and they seemed to really feel that they were ordinary people in the few months of Damiao Mountain.
And they all came out of the township, but they had never seen a woman like Xia Muhibiscus, as long as she wanted, anything could become a miracle.
Shen Muhan's calm eyes were also turbulent, and he never thought that the bricks could become like this after being burned, they looked very solid, even if they didn't have to cover those thatch, they wouldn't crack or melt when they were rained, such a house should be very beautiful.
"Hibiscus girl, you are really a god, I Xu Si has lived for most of my life, I have never seen such a capable baby, look at this thing, it looks like a brick, it is simply a carved work of art, I have seen this artwork in the town, it is very special"
Xu Lao also got up early in the morning today, but they were calculating the time, and they put aside the work first, and then led their wives over, this look, they couldn't close their eyes, and when they saw Xia Mujian at this moment, they were talking endlessly.
"Old Xu, you are strict, I am just on a whim, this is all the credit of everyone, I am here to thank everyone!"
Seeing that Xu Lao didn't want to stop, Xia Mujin hurriedly interrupted him, and bowed to everyone as he spoke, as he spoke, to express his gratitude.
"Hibiscus girl, look, there are still many bricks in this brick, when will the second one be burned."
The black cow was addicted to the kiln, looked at the bricks not far away, and asked eagerly, his question attracted everyone's laughter.
In fact, he is worried about those bricks, after all, this is about to change the season, if it is winter and spring, the rain is plentiful and numerous, and the East River will rise, the soil of this brick is dug from the ground, now it looks like a sinkhole, the big one is embarrassing, and if this is stored in water, this brick is not scrapped, it is the hibiscus girl who spent money to make them work hard, and he is distressed.
But watching the fruits of his labor being transformed into the bricks on the kiln now, he also feels proud and accomplished.
This Xia Hibiscus also thought of this, the general kiln is in late spring to early autumn, winter and early spring is impossible, because there is a lot of rain, and this just out of the adobe will be soaked by rain for a long time, even if you protect it well, there is no beauty at this time, paused, and said:
"After the bricks of this kiln are unloaded, we will burn the second kiln."
In fact, if she builds a tall and big house, the two kiln bricks will be about the same, so this second kiln brick must be as soon as possible, otherwise her house will be delayed again, and the family will have more and more people, so it is really not a way to squeeze it like this, so he is more looking forward to this second kiln coming out sooner than the black bull.
"When will it start unloading?"
Hearing the unloading of bricks, some villagers began to hold back, this unloading bricks must need manpower, there is a salary every day, this hibiscus girl is very trustworthy, a few days ago the wages to them to pay off, and a lot of children, and keep thanking, and because this money can prepare winter supplies for the family, but also for their children to make a set of winter clothes, that is everyone's dream!
This fire has just been extinguished today, let alone three days later, after all, this heat is in the kiln, and the weather is also hot, it is not so easy to dissipate heat, Xia Mu Hibiscus hesitated for a while, and said:
"Four days later, Brother Erdan, after four days, please call forty people to come here early in the morning, I have an arrangement, the salary is the same as before, to be considerate, the remaining part of the people trouble to help me find a hundred tree poles as big as this poplar tree, our village does not have it, so please go to other villages to buy, how much is I pay, and some people need to help me get limestone, the more the better, the salary is still the same, everyone go home and rest for a few days, get ready, and there will be detailed arrangements when I get things straight."
The next step is to find the cohesive soil herself, so the next important goal is not to burn the kiln, but to make cement, and she wants to build the most unique and solid house in the country.
When everyone heard Xia Mujin say this, they suddenly began to get excited again, proving that they will not be idle, and they will definitely have a good year this year.
"Uncle, they"
Seeing that everyone was going to discuss, Xia Mujin glanced at a few people on the stump, and then looked at Shen Muhan.
"Huh? All alive! ”
Shen Muhan knew her thoughts, no matter how she couldn't make a fuss in this village, her reputation was very good now, if so, everyone would be afraid of her.
"Hibiscus, let's go back and wait for your news."
Xu saw Shen Muhan, everyone was still a little uncomfortable, and the second egg spoke wittily.
"Well, let's go back!"
Hearing this, Xia Mujian also gave him an appreciative look and said in a pleasant voice.
As the villagers left, Shen Muhan snapped his fingers, and Ming and the others took the eight people down in the blink of an eye.
Several people's lips were dry and cracked, their whole bodies were weak and weak, not to mention that they were even thinner, and their pupils were also dilated, but when they saw Shen Muhan, they still struggled to show their horror, and their legs trembled and they couldn't kick, otherwise they would run as far as if they had seen a ghost.
"Jin'er, don't you think these people can catch their eyes after hanging on it for a few days?"
Shen Muhan seemed to appreciate their miserable state, and after a few glances, he said to Xia Mu Hibiscus.
In fact, Xia Mujin felt that what he said was true, because Wang Dafu had lost a lot of weight, the fat on his face was gone, and his skin was a lot darker, and the potholes on his face were not obvious.
"Uncle is right, they're all handsome!"
After thinking about it, I blurted it out.
Hearing this, Shen Muhan's eyes darkened, and he grabbed Xia Mujin and pressed it in his arms, his eyes locked on him, but he said loudly:
"Tell their families to come and collect them, and if they are delayed, they will be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves."
Hearing that the wolf was being fed, several people softened under their feet and fell to the ground.
Ming Yi was a little surprised, this boss is too domineering and stingy, didn't the hibiscus girl just say that they are handsome, he is jealous like this, although this is the case, but he can only pretend to be stupid and don't know, and fly away after receiving the order.
Xia Mujin glared at Shen Muhan, who was a little ruffian, angrily, and stepped on his instep with one foot, Shen Muhan loosened some strength, and she rushed towards the house, Shen Muhan's eyes sank, and he strode after him.
Ming Peng's more than a dozen people are looking at their noses and pretending not to see, but in fact, their hearts are already boiling, the master of the master is really extraordinary, and a casual look can suppress the boss, then, they will never be exploited unequally in the future.
Xia Linlin, the two fathers and sons looked at the back but shook their heads and smiled.
When Xia Mujin got home, she began to make breakfast, because there were many people, she made simple noodles, using bone broth to make the base soup, in which some leafy vegetables and mushrooms, and a few shredded ginger, although it was just ordinary noodles, but the taste in their mouths was different, and it was many times more fragrant than the chicken, duck and fish meat outside.
The ingredients are the same, but Aunt Xia can't make such a taste, but there are many boiled noodles, two big pots, Ming Yi and they are all teenagers and twelve-year-olds, and they are practicing families, and the amount of food is particularly large, everyone can eat four portions of Xia Hibiscus, but they also do more, and they go hunting after eating, because the hibiscus is going to the town, this time is busy, and I didn't make wine and fish, but the snails still prepared some, no, as soon as the meal is finished, Xia Hibiscus began to make wine and fish, pine nuts are boiled and snails, waiting for the snails to be cooked, Everyone sat around and began to pick.
When Xia Mu Hibiscus made the wine and fish, the snail was also picked, and the others also came back, hunting more than forty of them, Xia Mu Hibiscus was happy, she should be most lacking money at present, although she sold a threshing machine for hundreds of taels before, plus the previous savings, there were also thousands of taels, but this kiln has been used a lot for a few days, and now there are more than seven hundred taels left, but it is far from enough for her.
Loading things into the carriage, Xia Muhibiscus got on the horse, entered the carriage, Shen Muhan also jumped up, and then drove the carriage away.
"Mother, look at it, the appearance of that family, now the Wang family doesn't dare to touch them, look at it again, this Xia Daddy, how long has it been, the red face is full of light, no matter how you say that you are also his wife, he just threw you and ignored it, is this still worthy of his conscience?"
Wu and You stood at the door and looked at Xia Mujian and their departing carriage, their eyes full of resentment, and You Shi said angrily.
She went to the Wang family just now, Dafu, this kid is useless, he talks nonsense, he is afraid when he sees people, and he is so thin that he is not in human shape, Qinglian is not sad to cry, and she is called by Meng's family, and she doesn't even have time to say a word to her mother.
This Wang family, it can't be relied on, if Cailian's belly gets bigger, and they don't do the marriage anymore, they won't be able to gain a foothold in this village, and they don't expect any dowry.
Zhou Yousheng is also a wreck, he hasn't been home for a few days, saying that he has found an errand in the town, and he has thirty yuan a day, but how long has it been, and he hasn't seen him hand it over, but the clothes have been changed, and even the hair is neatly arranged, bright and bright, she suspects that she is looking for someone outside.
But there is no evidence and can't be sure, so I can only sprinkle my anger at home, seeing that the family can't even afford to buy a vegetable leaf, and there are still a few people to eat, no, I caught the attention of Daddy Xia again.
"This old immortal followed a group of black-hearted people to eat and drink spicy food, and forgot all about my old woman, and I don't want to think about who has been shushing and asking for warmth when he comes back all these years, and entertaining him with good food and good food."
As soon as she heard that Father Xia's Wu family was angry, but she saw the fate of the Wang family in her eyes, at this juncture, she didn't dare to go to Father Xia, let alone Xia Forest and their family, if she was also tied to the stump in the sun and rain for seven days and seven nights, then she would go directly into the coffin with her legs.
"You too, such a big person, you don't even grow vegetables, starving yourself to death is a trivial matter, a few small ones, I'll go to Changsheng's house, the firewood at home is almost burned, you go get some back."
Thinking about it, he said coldly to Yu's family.
Without this one son, she still has two, I don't believe they don't give her food, she hasn't eaten oil for a few days, she is weak, she has to make up for it.
You Shi looked at Wu's back as he left in a hurry, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.
"Guilian, Cailian, go to work!"
Immediately, he walked to the door and took his tools and shouted.
Xia Muhibiscus entered the town, sent the snail meat to Fushou Restaurant, and then taught Uncle Biscuit how to cook two dishes.
"I've been busy for a while, and I forgot to make wine and fish, but I did it this morning, and it is estimated that it can come out in ten days and half a month, as for the orchid beans, it is estimated that it will have to wait until next year, hehe, Uncle Cake, is there still a jar?"
Xia Muhibiscus didn't have time to explain them one by one, so he waited for them to answer in one breath after asking, and finally didn't forget to ask Uncle Biscuit about the jar.
Hearing this, Uncle Biscuit raised his head from the two dishes, glanced at Xia Mujian suspiciously, and said:
"Yes, yes, the boss specially let me stay."
Hearing this, Xia Muhibiscus smiled and bent his eyebrows, and went to move the jar with Uncle Biscuit.
"Hibiscus, are you sure that beef tendon is eaten?"
Halfway through, Uncle Biscuit finally couldn't help but ask.
Xia Mujin taught him to make spicy beef tendon this time, this beef tendon has been pushed by them before, but this taste can't be removed, there are very few people who order it, even if they occasionally order it and wait for them to finish eating, this dish is still the original there, and they will never order it a second time, which is still due to the reputation of this Fushou Building, if it was an ordinary small restaurant, it would have been in trouble a long time ago.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll fry it later, it's not too late to speak after you taste it."
Although Xia Mujin taught him two dishes, but just now only prepared the materials, not yet fried, and these four stoves are busy, because today a rich businessman ordered a banquet, this early in the morning everyone was busy, it happened that the rich businessman ordered a wine banquet with snail meat, the owner also refused to go back, because the snail meat had already run out, no, Xia Muhibiscus came at the right time, just now he asked people to inform the counter, let him ask this guest again, this snail meat or?
At this moment, after listening to Xia Muji's words, Uncle Biscuit has not let go of the heart he is carrying.
I always feel that this beef tendon can't be served.
Xia Hibiscus fried beef once, and the owner mentioned it several times after eating, he wanted to learn that dish, and he also pondered about it, but the owner said that it was not that taste, he had never tasted it himself, and he didn't know what was different about the beef fried by the hibiscus girl.
Xia Mujin didn't speak, but asked everyone to help move the jar, and then came to the kitchen and began to make beef tendon.
This method is actually not difficult, first marinate the beef tendon and ginger, then put it in the pot and add cooking wine to stir-fry, add salt to fry to collect water, and finally put in the dried chili garlic to continue stir-frying, and add some chicken essence and other spices, and put in the green onion section when closing the pot.
Of course, the only thing to pay attention to is that this pepper must be pulled, this hemp Cheng dù is general, Xia Mu Hibiscus is added with super spicy pepper powder, just smelling like this, I feel choked, but this pot does not have that choking smell.
When Xia Mujian knocked the spicy beef tendon on the plate, and took a pair of chopsticks for Uncle Cake to taste.
Looking at this beef tendon with all the color and flavor, Uncle Cake was a little incredulous, and he was curious about what she had added in addition to ginger pickles.
Carefully sandwiched a piece and sent it to the mouth, the entrance is mellow wine, then spicy, and then hemp, chew slightly, the eyes can't help but light up, keep nodding, this beef tendon chews with strength, and there is no smell, delicious tight.
When everyone saw Uncle Biscuit showing such an intoxicated and appreciative look, they were all scrambling to try, and as a result, in less than a moment, the plate bottomed out with a chopstick.
Subsequently, Xia Mujian asked Uncle Biscuit to also fry the plate, and the taste was far behind, so he asked him to continue to the court, and it took almost half an hour to barely have a seven-point taste.
But for the cake, it was already very exciting.
The latter dish is easy, ants on the tree, in this era, something as ordinary as a vermicelli can't be on the table, but when Xia Mu Hibiscus this plate of ants on the tree came up, everyone was stunned after trying the taste, Xia Mu Hibiscus was in a hurry, so he asked Uncle Cake to try to fry it, this fried two plates also fried seven points of flavor, Xia Mu Hibiscus praised him a few words, and said goodbye to everyone.
When Su Yanchu and the rich merchant hurriedly ran to the kitchen after finishing their errands, they were told that Xia Muhibiscus had left, and his eyes instantly dimmed, and he hung his head in frustration and left.
After selling the game, she went to a seed shop, and after a while she had a lot of things to grow, such as garlic, cabbage seeds, carrots, and turnips, and finally rapeseed.
Then I had a little tube bones, pork ribs, and other things, don't buy game at home, and don't buy fish, but she has always been thinking about the lotus root pond in her heart, and after this month, the lotus root can't be dug up, and every time she passes there, she will be reluctant to look at it for a long time, but the silt there is too deep.
Shen Muhan followed behind her and took a lot of things in his hands, Xia Mujin stopped when he walked to a cloth shop, turned his head to look at Shen Muhan, and entered the cloth shop, and when he came out, he wrapped a few horses of different colors in his arms.
But there is no black.
"Are you alright?"
Shen Muhan saw that she was struggling to hold so many cloths, so he stepped forward and took it with a big hand, and asked in a somewhat muffled voice.
Xia Mujin didn't know what kind of anger he was angry about, so he stared at him for a while, and saw that his eyes were like a child looking at the cloth in his hand, and he was suddenly a little funny.
"Alright, let's go home!"
But the more he was like this, the happier she became, and she praised her in a few steps, and said happily.
Looking at her petite back, Shen Muhan also shook his head a little funny, feeling that he was too abnormal.
Because of today's hundreds of taels, Xia Mujin didn't want to go out for a while, and when she returned home, she went up the mountain to find the cohesive soil after lunch, and Shen Muhan followed her as a flower messenger.
"Uncle, do you know what is called cohesive soil?"
In fact, Xia Muhibiscus knows that the cement made in this era is definitely not as good as the modern one, but something is better than nothing, besides, these two grinding and burning must have technology, now she just needs to find the materials, and then slowly explore by herself, and do a few more practical yàn Maybe she can succeed.
However, there should be no mines in this Damiao Mountain, so it should not be easy to find these things.
"Clayey soil?"
Shen Muhan was a layman for this, and when Xia Mujin asked, he frowned, and asked in confusion.
Xia Muhibiscus was also expected to react to him, after all, everyone has different things to attack, and she wouldn't expect him to understand everything, just bend down to play with the weeds under him, and then carefully look at the dirt on the ground.
"Can you be more detailed?"
Seeing her head down and fiddling with the dirt around her, Shen Muhan felt a little big, so he approached her and looked at the dirt she had messed up, and finally frowned and asked.
"This"
Hearing this, Natsuki bit her lower lip and seemed to be trying her best to think-
