After Chu Ying gave Ah Qi the money, she asked Ah Qi to help move the big water tank to the kitchen, this water tank was as big as 3 of them hugged together, and it was placed in the kitchen, which was a little crowded all of a sudden.

Sending Ah Qi away, Chu Ying cut all the firewood scattered on the ground to about the same length, placed it on the wall where the clay stove was built before, and waited until the pile reached a height that he couldn't reach, and continued to set up another row until all the firewood was cut and stacked, and Chu Ying rested a little.

It turned out that the place for stacking firewood was vacant, Chu Ying went to the back woods to cut some longer and straighter wood, and inserted the wood in the dug hole, Chu Ying wanted to make a shelf for salt, dried bamboo shoots and cattail roots.

If it's just scattered on the ground, it will take up too much space. After the four pieces of wood were fixed on the soil, Chu Ying moved the clay pot containing rice into a rectangle about 1 meter long and 30 centimeters wide formed by the four pieces of wood, and moved it to the side close to the rocket furnace, so that it was much easier to take the rice.

Chu Ying washed one of the small water jars and moved it to the clay pot containing rice, and then poured the rice in the sack into it, and Chu Ying picked up some of the rice scattered on the ground in the bowl.

Put the lid on the small water tank filled with rice, and Chu Ying used another piece of wood to measure the position above the rice tank, leaving a place for the rice to be taken at that time. At a measured height, a stone axe was used to carve out some places in the four logs, and then the horizontal logs were fixed to the four upright logs.

Waiting for the 4 horizontal logs to be tied, Chu Ying put a wooden strip in the vacant space in the middle, and fixed it with a rope, so that the first side is ready, Chu Ying took out some bamboo shoots hanging on the beam and put them on the first layer of the shelf.

Chu Ying also built two layers up and put the salt on the shelf. Although the shelves are still relatively empty, there will be a lot of stuff to fill them in the future. The previously pickled fish bream and pickled bamboo shoots could not be heated, so Chu Ying did not put them on the shelf near the rocket stove.

Chu Ying moved all the clay pots on the east ground to the middle, and then made two shelves, Chu Ying did not make the shelves into a big one, first, it would not be so strong when she used the way of binding, and second, the clay pots were of different sizes, and Chu Ying was not good at layering.

Now that two shelves have been made, one of the shelves in the wall is higher on the first floor, and Chu Ying has moved the tall clay pot to the bottom of the shelf. The first floor of a shelf outside was not so high, and Chu Ying moved the medium clay pot to the bottom.

Other smaller clay pots Chu Ying placed on the top layers, and the middle layers had a good line of sight to put some commonly used. After all the clay pots and dried bamboo shoots hanging on the beams of the house were put away, Chu Ying felt that her kitchen was suddenly twice as big as ever.

There are no scattered things on the ground, they are all stored against the wall, only the chicken nest still occupies more space, and when the spring opens, Chu Ying can move it out, and now it will snow after the weather is cold, Chu Ying is better to keep it first.

Seeing that the sky was almost dark, Chu Ying patted her head and remembered that the clothes in the morning had not been washed yet, Chu Ying was already a little tired, Chu Ying cooked the rice first, and then washed the clothes, and when they were washed, they were already missing their fingers.

Chu Ying tied ropes to the shelves and beams to form a straight line, Chu Ying cooled the wrung clothes on them, and the house was warm and there was a stove burning the clothes to dry faster.

When everything was done, Chu Ying was too lazy to eat, but the belly lord would not allow Chu Ying to do this. Chu Ying saw that there was only half a piece of pickled pork hanging outside the house, so she had to take advantage of the fact that it had not snowed yet to buy some pork in the city and come back to marinate or smoke, if the amount was relatively large, Chu Ying preferred to smoke, smoking is not like pickling requires so much salt, but I just don't know if I can smoke it well.

After the meal, Chu Ying used the copper cover she bought last time as a drill to make shoes, and drilled two holes one finger apart on one side. "Put the shaved bamboo chips in the middle of the holes, and then use a needle and thread to pass through the two holes to fix the bamboo pieces.

Chu Ying took the bamboo handle and looked at the copper lid below, which was the same as the spoon holding the old wine, but it was only bigger than the palm of the hand, Chu Ying put a small bit of pine resin picked last time in the copper lid, and used the embers of cooking rice and water to heat the pine resin in the small copper pot.

Chu Ying split a small bamboo with a bamboo section at the bottom and a small bamboo with a bamboo section cut off in half from the head, and then tied it up with a thread, looking at the original bamboo joint, but when the pine resin poured into it solidified, the bamboo can be disassembled, so that the pine resin can be turned into a candle.

Chu Ying hadn't done it, but the basic assumption was like this. By the time the meal was finished, the pine resin in the small copper pot had already melted, Chu Ying rubbed out a candle wick with a thread, carried the candle wick with one hand, and picked up the small copper pot with the other hand and slowly poured the pine resin inside into the bamboo joint.

The bamboo is relatively small, and there is not much pine resin, and the pine resin is just poured out at the place where it is almost from the mouth of the bamboo joint. Chu Ying blew it with her mouth, hoping that it would cool down quickly. Chu Ying put the wick of the candle on the bamboo mouth and placed it vertically on the shelf.

After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Chu Ying took her soup woman back to the bedroom. When I put out the fire, I looked at the bamboo knots on the shelf, hoping that it would take shape so that I could use the candle myself.

Chu Ying thought about going to the city tomorrow to buy some cloth to make clothes and make sacks, the clay pot herself had already bought enough, and there was no need to buy any more, Chu Ying fell asleep thinking about it, and when she woke up, it was not very bright, Chu Ying continued to fall asleep, and the biological clock formed during the days of killing pigs had not yet been adjusted.

When she woke up again, it was almost noon, Chu Ying hurriedly got up to wash her face and brush her teeth, but she was in a hurry, and some of the branches were rubbing her teeth without biting them flat, and she accidentally rubbed them until her gums left some blood.

Chu Ying put on winter clothes and clean autumn clothes, carried some chestnuts in her pocket and went out with a basket on her back. There was a hurry along the way, but Grandpa Li hadn't returned from the city yet, so Chu Ying had to wait at the entrance of the village with other people who were also late.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, some people have gone to the city to do New Year's goods, and when Grandpa Li came, the car was full of things and people, and it took a while to get out of the light. "Sakura girl wants to go into the city?"

"Yes, Grandpa Li, I have to give you 80 wen for the previous five trips, you take it." Chu Ying gave Grandpa Li the fare from the last time.

"It's not so much, just give 60 wen for 12 wen a trip as before."

"You worked so hard and came to my house to move things, this money has to be given, if you don't accept it, I'm embarrassed to let you help me transport things next time."

"Okay then." Grandpa Li is not easy, Chu Ying heard Han Da say that Grandpa Li has only one daughter in the boudoir in the family, and this daughter is still an old woman, so she is very spoiled, and now it is time to get married.

Chu Ying looked at the endless stream at the door of Qin Zhong's store and waited outside the door for a while, but looking at some people who came to exchange the broken chestnuts, looking at Qin Zhong who was a little dizzy inside, Chu Ying felt that she was quite sorry for Qin Zhong, it must have been a long time and those chestnuts were broken again.

Thinking about the chestnuts at home, I don't know what to do, but fortunately, 30 baskets of 40 baskets of chestnuts have been brought at home, and the remaining 10 baskets are not much loss if they are broken, but I have to step up to grind the chestnuts into powder when I go back.
