And what is the little girl in Situ Rui's mouth doing at this time?

After finalizing the final plan, the Li family said that they would do it, and prepared separately, Li Qingshan went to the village chief to buy land, and finally bought fifty acres of wasteland at the foot of the mountain and a small hill next to it, the wasteland is not worth anything, one or two silver per acre, and the mountain, because the most important thing in the village is the mountain, plus it is useless, and no one usually buys it.

The village chief simply decided to sell it to them, and at a very cheap price, he collected a total of 100 taels of silver for the 50 acres of wasteland, and took the initiative to help go to the yamen to pass the red deed. (The red deed is recognized by the yamen, that is, the modern official appraisal and is protected by law, while the white deed is not protected, and everything is resolved by both parties)

There are many sleepless nights and dreams, and if something happens in the future, everyone unanimously agreed to the red deed, plus the money handed over to the yamen and the village chief Li Yongfu, and spent more than three taels of silver.

In another month, the wheat harvest will be completed, and the autumn crops will be planted for more than 20 days, so time is pressing.

Since I didn't know the correct way to do it, I only knew the approximate way, and I had to explore step by step, so I built a small kiln for experiments.

Give full play to the wisdom of the working people, the first small brick kiln is done, compared with the modern one, it is a miniature type, it is a cube structure, there are bricks stacked inside, there is a hole like the size of the bowl mouth on the top, fine coal is poured from those small holes to the inside, because the inside of the kiln is burning, the temperature on the top must be very high, so there are nearly 100 small holes on the top.

Li Hui, as a construction worker, is also a conductor, and several adults in the family are still very cooperative, which makes her feel like a leader.

"Oh, it's finally set, let's try it quickly, okay?" Li Hui was very curious about whether such a brick kiln built by impression would work, and couldn't wait to test it.

"Okay, the eldest and the second, you dig the soil, the third and the fourth, go to the mountains to chop more dry firewood, listen to Hui'er, you want to be big, or you can't stand burning!" Li Qingshan was also very excited, and arranged the distribution of the work.

Everyone was full of energy. The women can't do too heavy work, but it's still okay to do it, the first experiment, the abrasives made by Li Qingshan were made by Li Qingshan's eldest brother Li Songshan, Li Songshan is a carpenter, for the abrasives are trivial, and they will do five or six in a while.

First, the dug clay is stirred evenly, plus the wheat straw that has been cut, mixed well, and then the mixed soil is put into the mold to tamp, and finally the mold is removed and dried.

"Grandpa, this beaten adobe is ready, it's time to start!" Li Hui observed the air-drying condition of the adobe every day, and thanks to God's gift, it didn't take a few days for the test piece to dry.

At this time, it can be neatly placed in the cave and start firing. It's a simple but monotonous job, with a group of people taking turns to take turns burning the fire.

During this period, the people in the village saw the Li family tossing and were very curious about what they were doing!

But when they heard the Li family say that they were burning bricks, they immediately changed their faces one by one, with a look of disdain, as if the Li family was a fool, and they were actually whimsical, only Li Daniu's family who usually had a good relationship with the Li family expressed their support, and they came over to help from time to time.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and finally it was time to open the kiln, and the whole family came to watch, feeling extremely anxious and excited, looking forward to it and contradictory.

The first time I made a total of 500 yuan, it turns out that it is not professional or not, Li Hui is just an amateur, although he studied architecture, but for these uncommon ones are only a general understanding, can only grope.

Of the five hundred bricks, more than half are cracked, the quality is not good, and some are more deformed, and only a hundred or so are good.

For Li Hui, it was a failure, but for others, it was a success, completing something that they couldn't have imagined before.

On the day of the opening of the cellar, it attracted the onlookers of the whole village, after all, since the Li family began to be busy with this, there were people who said anything, thinking that they must be crazy, and they should do something impossible in everyone's opinion.

Especially Aunt Ma and Yang's family, they advertised in the village all day long: "Their family is watching the collection of medicinal materials and making money, so they don't take others seriously, isn't it just a little money, what's the big deal!" ”

"That's it, our farmer's family, how can we send our children to school, and as soon as we send them away, don't learn anything at that time, and you can't hold your shoulders and resist!" Yang especially agreed with Aunt Ma's words.

"Burning bricks, don't mention it, they will definitely not burn it, and they will lose money, they just have the tail of money to go up to the sky, and they are purely doing it."

"That's right, it's the same one who goes to school with his children, it's definitely not good, what's the matter, I still want to take the Xiucai exam, we haven't heard of it in ten miles and eight villages!"

The two of them shouted and said sour things in the village all day long, not because the two of them didn't make money because of the poor quality, but when they saw others making money, they were envious, jealous and hateful.

No matter what the others thought in their hearts, they didn't say it, after all, everyone had received the favor of the Li family, or this year would still be a year of not enough food and clothing, thanks to the blessing of the Li family, they could eat meat and white flour steamed buns this year, and most people were still grateful in their hearts.

There are still very few people like Yang and Aunt Ma, and the rural people in ancient times were still relatively simple.

On this day, Lijia Village can be described as a sea of people, thousands of empty alleys, all surrounded by wasteland. Seeing the bricks that the Li family moved out of the brick kiln, everyone was stunned!

Except for the bad ones, the remaining bricks were angular and the same size, although there were only a few more than a hundred, but those bricks emitted a charming pink light in the sunlight.

"I didn't expect it to burn out! Brother Qingshan, your family is going to get better! Look at the children can do it, their brains are alive, and there will be a reader in the future, but it will be a good life! Li Yongfu, the village head, saw the row of red bricks, patted Li Qingshan on the shoulder and sighed.

"Where, this is the children's thoughts, I'm old, I just want to see them safe, but the children have ideas, and the elders can't be held back, right, Brother Yongfu!" Li Qingshan was very excited, as long as it could be burned, it would be a good thing.

The rest of the Li family was also excited, although it was a lot worse, but as long as there was success, it meant that there was hope, and they all trembled their lips and couldn't speak!

"What a blessing, you see, if such a beautiful brick is built out of the house, how magnificent it will be!" Everyone talked about it, and all kinds of envious tones.

"I don't know if I'm going to help in the future!" There are smart people who react quickly to think of this at once, and prepare to probe the wind at night.

"Isn't it just burned out, what's the big deal! Hmph, I don't know if I can use it, what are you happy about, it's not yours! Aunt Ma's voice was always so harsh and sharp.

"You mother-in-law is jealous! I can't see anyone else's good! As soon as everyone heard Aunt Ma's voice, they turned back one after another, and some of them went back directly to the unaccustomed ones.

Soon, those one or two discordant voices were also drowned out by everyone's heated discussion!

Lijia Village is a lively scene, on the road leading to the village from the town, a person is in a hurry, and he is in a hurry!
