Thank you for the miracle life 123 peace charm, thank you for kissing. Send today's chapter!

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the earth, and a trace of mischievous burrowed into the house, the Li family's yard began another busy day.

Looking at the noisy yard, the only few thatched huts are crowded with people, such a big family, in fact, should build a house!

"Grandpa, when are we going to build a house! A lot of families in our village have started to build houses! Li Hui asked.

"This actually has this plan, there are many people in the family, you are all older, you should have your own room, just have money, you can renovate and build a few more houses!" Li Qingshan expressed his considerations.

"Grandpa, don't we build a brick house? The same brick house as the village chief's house is sturdy and beautiful! Li Hui felt that it didn't make much sense to build a thatched house, and it was not strong and often leaked rain, so it had to be repaired from time to time, which was too laborious.

"You are still young, I don't know the price of green bricks, if you build it like that, our family will be spent, and a room like that will cost about twenty taels, you calculate that there are so many people in our family, at least seven or eight rooms will be built, plus furniture, it will cost almost two hundred taels of silver!" Li Qingshan explained to her, in fact, he also explained to everyone, she can't wipe out her family money all at once because of this, and she still has to have emergency money.

Li Hui thought about it, and it was understandable that it would cost dozens of taels to send her three elder brothers to school, and after removing the recent additions to the things, there was only about three hundred taels of silver left, and she was ready to buy land.

"Why is a brick house so expensive, grandpa, one can top the price of seven or eight thatched houses!" Li Hui was very curious, this expensive one was too outrageous, she originally thought that a few dozen taels could be covered.

"The main thing is that the materials are expensive, the green bricks are not easy to fire, and there is only one place within a radius of 100 miles that can burn the green bricks and tiles, the output is not high, the rich people will not think the price is expensive, and the house built is big, that is basically how many to buy, let's buy, we must not be able to afford it!"

After listening to Li Qingshan's explanation, Li Hui really understood that no one in the village built brick houses, and it turned out that the supply of materials exceeded demand.

Wait a minute. Li Hui had a flash of inspiration in his mind, green bricks are not easy to burn, but red bricks are easy to fire, modern red bricks have completely replaced green bricks, it is not only lightweight, simple to fire, the strength is not lower than that of green bricks, and the price is low, I remember when I was reading, I also specifically checked the information in this area.

I don't remember it very well now, but I can do experiments, and I will try a few more times.

"Oh, grandpa, as soon as you say this, I remember, in my dream I feel that I have seen a kind of brick, which is red, and I also saw a group of people moving out of the kiln, and you said we can burn it ourselves!"

"Really, think about it! It would be great if that were the case! Li Anxi was the first to react, if he could burn bricks, it would be a lot of silver.

"What are you panicking about, Hui'er, are you sure? Will the red one work? Red bricks have not been heard of since ancient times. Li Qingshan is not as impulsive as young people, and he thinks more comprehensively.

"Grandpa, it's true, I guess it was told to me by the old fairy Tuomeng, but I didn't think about it before, hehe......" is this excuse again, but there is no way, in order for the family to have no worries about food and clothing, like my aunt, if my family stands in a position that others look up to, there will not be so many things.

"Then tell me how to get it, don't be in trouble if you can't burn it out then!" Li Qingshan was very curious, after all, this kind of technical thing is a family heirloom and will never be leaked.

"The most important thing to burn bricks is to build a kiln, the shape of the kiln is a square structure, there are bricks stacked inside, there are holes the size of a bowl on the top, fine coal is poured into the inside from those small holes, because the inside of the kiln is burning, the temperature on the top must be very high, there are nearly 100 small holes on the top. After the kiln is covered, the bricks will be burned much better, and it is very simple. Li Hui explained so much based on her impression, but she didn't know anything else about building a kiln.

"In addition, the first thing to burn bricks is to find clay, we have it on this mountain, I have seen it, mix it with fly ash and mix it evenly, you can reach the point where you can hold it into a ball, and then put the soil into the grinding tool to make it solid, make it into the shape of a brick, air dry it for 20 days, and then put it in the kiln for about 20 days, and take it out after burning and wait for it to cool down naturally!"

"Hui'er, what you said is very simple, but you can't do it if you haven't tried it!" Li Anfu said that he felt that it was a big adventure.

"Dad, we can try a few more times, it just so happens that I haven't been busy lately, so you don't have to go out to work, just try to burn bricks at home, can you learn slowly!" I'm sure I can learn it, and some of the people I've heard in my dreams say that we can definitely do it. ”

"It's risky, I'll ask everyone's opinions, and raise your hand in agreement!" Children don't count, women listen to men, only Li Anlu and Li Anxi raise their hands, half to half.

"I guess God wants to help us, or how will Hui'er dream of it, let's try it, if it doesn't work, we should buy a lesson." Li Qingshan hesitated again and again, but decided to give it a go, thinking that if he succeeded, it would be amazing, when the time comes, the family will definitely be in the market, people come and go, business is booming, he also envies that kind of life, even if it is not successful, there is no big loss for him, it just takes some effort.

"Since we have decided to do it, we must have a plan, we will build it on the land we are going to buy, and if it doesn't work, we can still farm it." Li Qingshan tried his best to minimize possible losses.

"Boss, tomorrow you and I will go to the village chief's house to ask if there is anyone who wants to sell land, buy some while you have money, or you can build a small one in the yard to try! If it succeeds, use all the land. Li Qingshan did what he said this time and put the purchase of land on the agenda.

"Okay, Dad!"

"That's right, Jixiang, it was too late yesterday, so I didn't say much to you, you live in peace, what is there to find your sister-in-law, wait for Dashan to come back and see what to do!" Li Qingshan was so excited that he forgot about yesterday's incident, and only remembered when he saw his daughter come in.

"I see, Dad!"

"Auntie, you live well, I teach my little cousin and cousin to read!" Li Hui likes her two aunts very much, although the family conditions are not good, she still tries her best to give her nephews and nieces good food, so she can't bear to let her aunt be bullied.

If she is good to herself, Li Hui will not hesitate to be good to others, and she will not allow others to bully her family.

"En, aunt thank you, your cousin and cousin will be handed over to you in the future, and let your cousin go to school next year." Li Jixiang was very excited, his children were going to learn calligraphy, he had never thought that he had this condition only by his mother's family.

"Auntie, when the time comes, my cousin will take the exam to show talent or something, you will be a show talent, maybe your cousin can earn you the title of lady?" This is what Li Hui hopes the most, if someone in the family is an official, then there will be no slaughter, and there will be room for resistance.
