Chapter 13 Charcoal Burning to Make Money
Liang Chuan saw that Brother Zhao was eating so well, he was really hungry, and to this extent, this kid could still give himself the pheasants he hunted, and he couldn't help but praise him. Liang Chuan stroked his black nose and asked Brother Zhao, "Brother Zhao, who else is in your family?" ”
Brother Zhao didn't hide it, he was used to being alone, the whole township knew that he was a single, not afraid of other people's jokes, and calmly replied to Liang Chuan: "Don't hide it from the third brother, I am a family and seem to have no home, my mother died early, my father has a big brother, my eldest brother doesn't go home much after he begged my sister-in-law, I take the sky as the bed all day long, and I won't be treated well when I go back anyway!" ”
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the most famous contradiction between uncle and sister-in-law is the accident between Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and his sister-in-law, and Zhao Brother is not to blame Liang Chuan for asking him about his sore spots, what is this, those days without eating, drinking, and wearing have survived, and do you care what others think of you, how others see yourself is not as important as a bowl of hot rice.
I don't want to go back to my home, wandering outside all day, no wonder I don't have anything to eat and rely on a dog, but fortunately, he happened to be at home when I went to look for him to ask for a magnet that day.
Yi Niang naturally knew these stories, she pushed Liang Chuan's arm, not wanting Liang Chuan to continue to hurt Brother Zhao's heart, but Liang Chuan already had a plan in his heart, ignored Yi Niang's point, and continued to ask Brother Zhao by herself: "Then your pheasant was caught on the mountain?" ”
"Yes, we are all all over the mountain, and when we find a prey with a black nose, we go to hunt it, and the hare pheasant that we usually encounter is a meal for the two of us." Brother Zhao had finished eating at this time, reminiscing about the fragrance of rice, but his eyes were watching the black nose snorting and eating the food, and his expression was reminiscing about the hard years with the black nose at that time.
Damn, this is a divine beast, and it can still catch game, Liang Chuan looked at this black dog, but he didn't expect it to be so promising. This young man is not a good person, looking at his tattered clothes, he has obviously been worn for too long, no one sews and mends, but his body is clean and tidy, he should be washed very diligently, not a lazy person, a person and a dog are hungry and starry, and he will never give up, he must be very emotional, and he is a good young man of good quality.
Reduced to this world, since you want to live well, you can't rely on yourself alone, you must have a few effective helpers, this kid is not bad, if you can cultivate it with you, you may be able to help in the future!
Yi Niang knows that since Liang Chuan recovered, the whole person is completely different, and she can't understand what she wants to do, especially last night, which gave her a completely different feeling! She couldn't see through what Liang Chuan was thinking now, and she would have been surprised if she knew that Liang Chuan was looking at this young man's idea.
The more Liang Chuan looked at this young man, the more he liked it, firstly, this person saved himself in the first place, and he gave his life. Second, this young man is not in a good situation now, it seems that he is also eating according to the sky, and he can only be hungry if he doesn't appreciate his face. Third, there is no background, so it is best to be clean and clean, and save a lot of trouble in the future. Liang Chuan thought about the middle-aged woman at the door of their house during the day, thoughtfully, and asked, "Brother Zhao, does your sister-in-law always want to sweep you out of the house?" ”
Brother Zhao was surprised why Liang Chuan suddenly asked this question, and said, "It doesn't matter to me, my brother has pity on my brother's honest man." ”
Liang Chuan guessed correctly, and continued to ask: "Why don't you come to us, there is a small dilapidated house next door, there is no rain in this winter, I will live in the whole house with you in two days!" You don't have to go back and look at your family's faces? ”
Yi Niang didn't expect Liang Chuan to say this, the so-called inexorability is inseparable, after all, people are relatives, and they are outsiders, so it's not appropriate to say this. Brother Zhao's family has a pungent sister-in-law, which is famous in the neighborhood, and Brother Zhao's brother is scolded by his sister-in-law every day at home, so that he can't lift his head, let alone his little uncle.
This sister-in-law usually doesn't like the style of Zhao Di, but she doesn't have a good attack in front of her, she curses in a fancy way every time, and the cooked rice is saved until it is rancid before she eats it. Yi Niang didn't want to be ugly, so she hurriedly stabbed Liang Chuan with her hand, Liang Chuan glanced at Yi Niang, and Yi Niang shook her head.
"In the future, I may have to do some business here, and the manpower of me and Yiniang is definitely not enough!" Liang Chuan smiled at Brother Zhao, just like the big bad wolf grandmother looked at Little Red Riding Hood.
Brother Zhao smiled and his eyes were like crescent moons, and he replied without thinking too much: "Third brother, you say, I can help you!" ”
Liang Chuan pondered for a moment, and then looked at Yi Niang, Yi Niang was confused by him, Liang Chuan said: "Men become a family and start a business, sometimes you can also start a business first and then start a family, it is not a way to go around, eat every day without a meal, last time you saved me Yi Niang has been chattering in my ear, saying that I will repay you well if I have the opportunity, today we met here, which means that we are destined in our lives, and you will not see us in the future, I plan to start burning charcoal to sell in the township, you will give me a hand from today onwards, Wait until you go back and clean up, just move to us to live, eat with us, and make money to give you the start of work, you see how it goes! ”
What the? Where would Yi Niang believe Liang Chuan's nonsense, but she didn't resist much when she heard that she could take care of her brother Zhao, but this is okay, charcoal? Does he still have the skills?
Brother Zhao couldn't believe his ears, he looked at Liang Chuan's home, it was empty, and it was not much better than himself, and he had the impression that the third brother was an honest and honest man, where would he burn any charcoal, I was afraid that I heard it wrong, but what is the difference, I am almost starving to death today, and I can't eat anymore, it's almost the same, the difference is that I died in the third brother's house, and the third brother may help him collect the corpse when he looks at the feelings, and dies outside, and the grass is swept up and buried.
Almost without hesitation, Brother Zhao said to Liang Chuan: "Cheng!" Third brother, I'll do whatever you say! ”
Things went more smoothly than Liang Chuan imagined, and on the same day, Zhao Di went back to pack the things in his rotten scene, and when he came back, he only carried two torn clothes and a big bowl with a black nose to eat.
Liang Chuan discussed with Yi Niang, although his home is small, but the grass house next door is quite comfortable, and when he turns around, he blocks the gaps in the door panel and the ground wall, and it will be a small room.
Let's sleep in the house today, use some thatch on the ground first, the fire in the stove has not stopped all day long, and the thatch that Zhao Di slept on was piled on the edge of the stove, and the temperature passed through, at least stronger than the ghost place where he was leaking on all sides. When I get better, I will build another house for my brother next to my home.
After settling down to recruit his younger brother, it was already noon, and without eating at noon, Liang Chuan began to carry out his charcoal burning business. It's winter now, every family needs this thing more or less, all kinds of firewood are all over the mountain behind it, and now that my body is recovering, my little brother is also in place, the time and place are all in place, and I can fire.
Charcoal is made by burning firewood to a certain extent, burying grass ash and soil on it, and using the residual heat to hold the burned trees into charcoal. Many families in rural areas use the clay method to make charcoal for heating in winter.
At the moment, Liang Chuan himself has not done it himself, only his eyes have seen that the people in the village have done it before, and he doesn't know how much charcoal he can burn with his memories, so he can only touch the river to cross the river and try it as much as possible. Liang Chuan chose the charcoal burning land in the back of his house, the front is the house, the back is the mountain, one is not windy, and the other is close to the material site, which is also very convenient.
The conditions of soil charcoal making allow it is best to have a good charcoal kiln, but now it is impossible to make a hole kiln out, and so the kiln is laid, the charcoal is also burned, and the spring will be opened tomorrow, Fengshan is a typical southern climate, the winter is cold, but there is no degree of snow in the cold weather in the north, the amount of charcoal is not comparable with the north, and the population base of Fengshan is not large, the market consumption capacity is limited, and the amount of charcoal can not go up. At present, we can only say that we will try the reaction of the market first, and if we can, expand production and make progress while maintaining stability.
Liang Chuan asked Zhao Brother to take the bamboo basket to dig the mud by the stream first, and by the way, he saw a large piece of grass and leaves and brought a little back, there are some ownerless wasteland by the stream, no one has cultivated it for many years, and no one will say anything if he digs a little mud inside, Zhao Di is a local, and he walks around every day, which fields are owned by whom, which fields are not homeless, and his heart is clear, and he is asked to take the soil, which is the most suitable.
Liang Chuan asked Yi Niang to join hands next to him, and Yi Niang handed him a wood with an even shape, so that it was easy to build up. Liang Chuan erected the trees with uniform and similar shapes, one by one, tightly circled, and the wood was also built on top, and the shape was made into a cone, and then he went to the mountain to pick up a large basket of branches and leaves, and covered the branches and leaves thickly on this pile of wood, and then these leaves and branches were flammable to act as auxiliary fuel. After he finished these recruitments, he also came back from the stream to collect mud.
Brother Zhao came back with a basket full of field mud, his clothes and face were covered with blue-gray field mud, just like a little clay figure, the black nose may have the most fun, and there is no place on his body that is clean. Brother Zhao looked at Liang Chuan Yiniang and couldn't help but smile when he saw him in this copy, he was also a little embarrassed, grinned, showed his yellowish teeth, and smirked: "Third brother, do you see if these are enough?"
Liang Chuan saw that he was sweating profusely, this is indeed a down-to-earth young man, it is not ambiguous to ask him to work, and he really brought you such a big lump of field mud, these are enough. Liangchuan picked up some red soil from the footsteps of the mountain, Fengshan Township is located in the southeast, the southeast region is more than Danxia landform, the soil is mostly red soil, the red soil is not easy to use, but the red soil and field mud are mixed together is quite easy to use. Liang Chuan added water to the mud to make the lake, then mixed it with red clay, slowly stirred the two kinds of soil evenly, and after making it almost even, it was not thin and not too dry, and then pasted the field mud and red clay on the pile of wood that had just been built.
Yi Niang looked stupid, it's strange that this wet mud can burn on the wood! But the first time she saw someone else making charcoal was like this, and Liang Chuan made it in a good way, it looked like it was real, "Can this wood still burn?" ”
Brother Zhao is also an honest person, and he has never seen this kind of practice, "It's the third brother, are you playing with mud?" ”
Liang Chuan knew that he used modern chemistry knowledge to explain to them that they also didn't know what to do when he was a fart, and it was better to wait and burn it directly than to waste his lips and tongue.
The cone of firewood is completely wrapped in the mud, turning into a small volcano-like shape, leaving a hole on the top to ignite the wood wrapped in the mud, and three small holes are dug out under the cone-shaped soil bag, which is not only to keep the air intake, but also to observe whether the inside of the charcoal furnace is burned to the bottom, prepare for all this, whether the charcoal burning cause can be achieved depends on the will of God.
Liang Chuan looked at Yi Niang and Zhao Di, both of them didn't understand what he did, it was normal.
Liang Chuan said to Yi Niang: "Yi Niang went to the stove to get a burning firewood, and then took out the internal organs of the pheasant in the morning, although there is no big lotus leaf now, but!" I still want to invite you to eat called flower chicken! ”
