In the afternoon, the Qi family went to work in the fields again, and Yun Yao had nothing to do at home, so she closed the courtyard door and jumped in the yard by herself.

While doing aerobics, she pondered how to generate income.

Yun Yao is a strong person, and she has to show her value wherever she goes.

She originally thought that she couldn't use her mental strength and couldn't make money, so she cooked and washed dishes at home first, and did what she could, but after the lunch meal, Yun Yao felt that she was really not that material, so she put the matter of making money on the agenda again.

In addition, Yun Yao also wanted to help the Qi family settle and make life more convenient.

The first thing that came to her mind was the stove.

To tell the truth, the earthen stove of the Qi family is really difficult to use, when cooking, a person is almost busy here, and he has to burn the fire and vegetables, the smoke of the earthen stove is still big, and it is easy to be confused when cooking, which is very choking.

Cooking should be a very enjoyable thing, but it's not good to make it so tiring.

After doing the exercises, Yun Yao went to the room and took a pen and paper to write and draw, and after a while, she drew a stove that was very similar to the Qi family's clay stove.

This stove only looks like it on the outside, but the structure on the inside is slightly different.

Yun Yao removed the bellows and made three connected hearths, each stove is different, the middle is large, the two sides are small, the middle is the pot for staple food, one on both sides is a small frying pot, and the other is a pot for boiling water.

There is a chimney mouth on one side of the whole big stove, and as long as you use a high chimney with a pot stone, you can burn the fire vigorously and happily, and you don't need a bellows at all.

These changes are simple, but the people who call them rice save a lot of things.

In order to prevent choking on smoke and dust, Yun Yao also sealed the stove, and in addition, she also designed a small smoking device on the top of the stove, so that when cooking, there is no need to be afraid of choking people with oil smoke.

After drawing the drawings, Yun Yao looked at them a few more times, and realized that they were in line with the aesthetic characteristics of people in ancient times, and they were not too unexpected, so she smiled with satisfaction.

Waiting for Qi Jing to go home in the evening, Yun Yao took the drawings and told Qi Jing about it.

In addition to the matter of the stove, Yun Yao talked about the well, Yun Yao felt that the Qi family had a large population and a large daily water consumption, and it would be very tiring if she always carried water, so she wanted to make a water press, and when she used water, she could press the water out as long as she held the handle of the water press and pressed it down, which was convenient and trouble-free.

As she spoke, she drew a picture for Qi Jing to see.

Yun Yao originally thought that she would have to spend a lot of time with Qi Jing to understand her thoughts.

What she didn't expect was that Qi Jing's mind was really extremely smart, and his knowledge was extraordinary, Yun Yao only said Qi Jing once and understood.

Qi Jing looked at the two drawings, his eyes full of joy.

Looking at Yun Yao with a sluggish face, he really felt that he had picked up the treasure, and even more felt that his daughter-in-law was really worth marrying, this daughter-in-law was not only good-looking, sweet and filial, but also literate and hyphenated, and the best thing was that she actually understood mechanism design, and her mind was extremely smart and sensitive.

Qi Jing smiled proudly: "It's hard for the lady to think about it, I thought of such a delicate thing, I look good, and I'll do it according to the lady's drawings tomorrow, let's change the stove first, and then I will slowly get the pressurized water well that the lady said." ”

"You're going to get it?" Yun Yao stayed for a moment again: "Don't you need to find a craftsman?" ”

"No, you don't." Qi Jing shook his head: "I can get these things, if I can't do it alone, ask my father to take a hand, my father's skillful hands were famous in ten miles and eight towns when he was young." ”

"Then I'll help too." Yun Yao was also happy: "I have less strength, but I can still do some delicate work." ”

"Okay." Qi Jing agreed, looking at Yun Yao under the lamp, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his little lady was really beautiful, and his heart was happy, as if he was blooming, for a while, a wave of heat surged into his heart, and he couldn't wait to correct this little lady on the spot, but the little lady was unwell, and he could only endure it.

Qi Jing persuaded himself to endure it a little longer, after all, he was single for more than ten or twenty years, and it was not bad for a few days, anyway, Yun Yao's delicious fat was delivered to his mouth, and it was not a matter of his own words when to eat.

The couple talked sweetly for a while and went to bed to rest, the next day the two got up early in the morning, Qi Jing first went to Qi Laoniu and said goodbye to the stove, Qi Laoniu thought for a while and agreed, and asked Qi Gu to take the fifth and sixth children to make breakfast, and after eating, Qi Gu took a few girls to work in the field.

Qi Jing, Qi Laoniu and Yun Yao stayed at home and demolished the old stove and replaced it with a new one.

It didn't take long for the old stove of the Qi family to be built, the bricks and everything are still new, and they can be used when they are removed, after Qi Jing dismantled it, Qi Laoniu took a brick knife to knock the soil attached to the green bricks clean and put them together, Qi Jing took the drawings to look at them, Yun Yao smiled next to him: "Don't bother about that, I keep it in my heart, Xianggong, you just need to follow what I said." ”

Qi Jing saw that Yun Yao was so confident, and he couldn't bear to hit her, so he only said in his heart that if it didn't work, he would dismantle it and build it again.

After Qi Laoniu finished knocking the bricks, he carried water and mud, and Qi Jing began to build the stove according to what Yun Yao said.

It turned out that Qi Jing didn't take what Yun Yao said seriously, and he just wanted to coax Yun Yao to play, but when he raised the stove higher, the more excited he was in his heart.

Yun Yao instructed Qi Jing to work not vaguely telling him where to leave the stove and where to leave the pot, but how many bricks to use in each row, how high the rows were, and even Qi Jing's bricks were not very smooth.

According to Yun Yao's words, the stove built up was smooth and smooth, without the slightest mistake.

When the stove was ready, not only Qi Jing, but even Qi Laoniu was shocked.

He circled around the stove and turned his head to look at Yun Yao: "Daughter-in-law's mental arithmetic is sharp, I see that there are few people in the world who can compare." ”

Yun Yao smiled and didn't answer, Qi Jing wiped the outside of the stove with mud, and took firewood to smoke the stove, and after putting the pot in the stove and lighting the fire, Qi Jing and Qi Laoniu found that using such a stove not only did not use the bellows, but the fire was bigger than the bellows fanned, and the firewood burned for a long time, which can be said to make the highest use of the burning rate of firewood.

After a handful of firewood was burned, it was found that the ash falling from the bottom of the stove was gray-white, without a trace of black carbon.

The father and son were even more respectful of Yun Yao.

Yun Yao walked around the stove, and instructed Qi Jing to make a few minor changes, and finally got the stove ready.

At noon, Qi Gu's mother came back to cook, and found that the stove in the new base was much better than the old stove, and it was still a multi-purpose stove.

Usually cook porridge and then stir-fry, are used in a pot, after cooking porridge to put the porridge out of the pot and then cook, but this new stove put three pots, a mouth to cook rice, a mouthful of stir-frying, and a mouthful of boiling water, the same time to do three things, not only people are light, the time is much shorter.

Listening to Qi Laoniu praise Yun Yao again, saying that Yun Yao has a calculation and a heart, Qi Gu completely forgot the unpalatable meal that Yun Yao made yesterday, and happily took Yun Yao's hand and praised it.

After lunch and after the family rested, Qi Jing took Yun Yao to find the blacksmith in the village.

The blacksmith of Qijiazhuang is also surnamed Qi Lusheng, and Qi Jing is still of the same clan and clan, and Qi Jing also has to call others uncle.

This Qi Lusheng family all makes a living by striking iron, there are not many fields, but the life is also good, when Qi Jing and Yun Yao passed, Qi Lusheng had only eaten and was busy making farm tools.

Qi Jing shouted through the courtyard wall: "Is Uncle Lu Sheng at home?" ”

But in a moment, a tall and strong woman wearing a blue floral cloth dress and a blue cloth cloth cloth wrapped her head came to open the door, the woman looked very dark, and had a sincere smile on her face: "Who should I be, it's the fourth, come in quickly." ”

Qi Jing entered the door: "Auntie." ”

Lu Sheng's daughter-in-law greeted with a smile, and looked at Yun Yao behind Qi Jing, her eyes immediately lit up, almost flashing green light, she grabbed Yun Yao: "This is the fourth daughter-in-law, she looks so good-looking, no wonder everyone in the village praises it, saying that the fourth daughter-in-law is blessed and begs for a good daughter-in-law, I originally said what the fourth daughter-in-law looks like, and I have to praise it when I look at it now, it looks really good, and it looks like a fairy descends to earth." ”

Yun Yao lowered her head and said coquettishly: "You have won the prize." ”

"Uncle Lu Sheng is busy." Qi Jing looked at Qi Lusheng, who was striking iron, and smiled and went over to hand something to Qi Lusheng.

Qi Lusheng finished making a farm tool, put down the hammer, took off the oily apron on his head, took the bench and sat over: "Sit down, what's the matter with your uncle?" ”

Qi Jing squatted down and sat on the bench, he was tall and strong, and he looked very aggrieved when he sat on such a small and low stool.

Yun Yao turned her head to look around, and at a glance she saw a taller stool under the porch, took a few steps and ran over to move it over to exchange with Qi Jing: "Xianggong, you sit here, I'm small, I'll sit on a small horse." ”

Lu Sheng's daughter-in-law covered her mouth and laughed: "This little daughter-in-law still knows that it hurts people." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yun Yao didn't feel anything, and Qi Jing blushed first.

He coughed, didn't talk nonsense, took out the drawings drawn by Yun Yao and handed them to Qi Lusheng: "Uncle, do you see if you can get it?" ”

Qi Lusheng looked at it for a while before nodding: "If it can be done, the price is not low." ”

"Money is a small thing, as long as you can get it." Qi Jing smiled: "If my uncle has nothing to do these days, I'll rush some, and the family is anxious to use it." ”

"Done." Qi Lusheng simply agreed: "It's just that my son's farming tools are almost the same, I was saying that I want to be idle, so you can come to find trouble for your uncle." ”

"It's all uncle's ability." Qi Jing smiled and flattered again.

As he was talking, he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Is Aunt Lu Sheng at home?" ”

Lu Sheng's daughter-in-law stood up, and saw a beautiful girl pushing the door in, Qi Jing and Yun Yao looked at this girl with a little bad on their faces.

"Grass flowers." The smile on Lu Sheng's daughter-in-law's face was a little weak: "Why did you come here at noon?" ”
