Chapter 52: The Simple Oven

"It's hard work, fortunately, the kiln has your help, otherwise it depends on our husband and wife, and we have to take ten days and half a month."

Without yesterday's aggressiveness, today's Zhou Xinzhi once again returned to her former gentleness and indifference, which made Gu Eryi a little stunned for a while, and he wondered if it was the woman in front of him who was fierce and rude yesterday.

I picked some fruit from the tree, and after Zhou Xinzhi washed it, she gave them a few and told them to eat it on the way back.

"In the future, if the two of you still have the strength to work, you can go to the rouge shop in the south of the city to find a few of us, and you can directly replace my Gu Da's name." Gu Da bowed slightly, thanked him, and then left with his brothers.

There were only the two of them left in the courtyard, and Zhou Xinzhi looked at the orchard in front of her, which was already completely new compared to the past.

"This kiln will be dry in about a week, so let's try it first."

To be honest, she didn't master the charcoal burning craft very well, but she learned a little bit when she was bored before, and if she wanted to really burn good charcoal, she had to practice mastering the skills.

"Okay, lady, rest here, I'll go up the mountain to have a look, and then how about going home together?"

Du Lisheng saw that she was tired, so he wanted to ask her to rest in this orchard first, and he went up the mountain to see the prey, but Zhou Xinzhi shook his head.

"I'll go up the mountain with you, and it just so happens that I have something to do." Zhou Xinzhi coughed lightly, got up and dusted off, not going to say more.

And Du Lisheng is also interesting, the lady didn't say that he didn't ask, just smiled lightly and said yes, and took her up the mountain with her.

After walking for a while, he was worried that Xinzhi's body would not be able to bear it, so he sat on the side of the road to rest his feet for a while, and Zhou Xinzhi had no opinion, she would indeed walk a little softly.

"It's really a chicken, flying and jumping on this day, I really hope that the two of the Zhou family can stop for me for a while." Zhou Xinzhi suddenly sighed with emotion, don't look at her calm scenery when she was scared in the past, but in fact, she was tired in her heart.

"If the lady feels uncomfortable, I will go to the village chief to talk about it......" Du Lisheng said and stopped, in fact, even he didn't know, he wanted to find the village chief what to say, after all, this is a family matter, Zhang Juhua is Xinzhi's biological mother, and she can't be completely separated.

"You see, you also know, even if you find the village chief, it's useless, since ancient times, filial piety has come first, and when the time comes, not only will I not get what I want, but I may also get some of it."

Zhou Xinzhi also understood that the most important thing in ancient times was filial piety, so very few people would stand on her side to speak.

To put it bluntly, as long as Zhang Juhua is still her mother, everything she does is forgivable.

Wiping her face, she really couldn't feel happy, "When we make money, let's move out of here." ”

Out of sight and out of mind, when the time comes, you won't be able to see her, no matter how much trouble you make, you won't be able to make trouble in front of her.

"If the lady likes it, just do it, and the lady's opinion is my opinion." Du Lisheng pinched her shoulders for her.

If you leave here, you can make the lady happy, and it's nothing to move out of the city, the left and right second rooms have already made trouble, but he is worried about the third brother's side......

"So we have to make more money." Zhou Xinzhi has already made up her mind, when the money is enough, she will buy a big house in the city, and she will never contact the Zhou family again in this life, this time is not enough to waste.

"The lady might be gone now?" He asked with concern, "If you still feel tired, the lady is waiting for me here, and I will come back immediately." Although Du Lisheng was not at ease, it had rained before, and the road in the mountains was difficult to walk, and he was not willing to watch Xinzhi go up with difficulty.

"That's fine, you go up the mountain by yourself, I'll wait for you here." Zhou Xinzhi thought that she still had to look for herbs, so she didn't go up the mountain with him, and it was convenient for her to stay here alone.

Before leaving, Du Lisheng did not forget to remind her not to walk around, and after she was sure, she was relieved to go up the mountain.

"Xiao Tongzi, did you sense anything good around here?"

"Master, there's nothing near you."

Zhou Xinzhi sighed helplessly, she didn't dare to go too far, she could only walk a little along the path on her side, but after only walking for a while, she stood vigilantly in place and didn't dare to move.

Not far away, a thin green snake is dangerously spitting out letters, Zhou Xinzhi has been out before, and has seen all kinds of poisonous snakes, so he can recognize at a glance, this colorful little thing is the bamboo leaf green that people are afraid of.

She didn't stand still for the time being, if the movement was too big, it would be difficult to get its attention at that time.

Zhou Xinzhi slowly retreated, trying not to move too much, and her eyes were also staring at the green snake not far away, and as she moved, the little snake also moved towards her.

Suddenly, the bamboo leaf green accelerated towards her, her eyes tightened, she picked up the wooden stick on the side, riveted her full strength, and hit it towards its seven inches, the force was so great that her wrist hurt.

But fortunately, her eyes are quick, and the snake was hit by her like this, and her breath began to become weak.

"Xiao Tongzi, can snake gall bladder be exchanged for F value?"

Zhou Xinzhi suddenly thought that although this bamboo leaf green is a poisonous snake, this snake gall can be said to be extremely useful.

"Master, snake gall can be collected, but the owner needs to take it out by himself."

She shrugged helplessly, she could only leave here for a while, she didn't have a knife in her hand, in case it came to its senses, it might be difficult to escape.

Returning to the position where she was waiting for Du Lisheng, she no longer dared to move, and she also vigilantly looked at the situation around her, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual.

As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Du Lisheng came down from the mountain.

"Lady! Are you okay. Du Lisheng's eyes were very nervous, and Zhou Xinzhi was a little puzzled for a while.

"I'm fine, what's wrong, but what's going on on the mountain?"

"Just now I was catching hares in the mountains, and I saw a few small snakes in the grass, and I didn't dare to say anything, so I hurried down to see how you were doing." Du Lisheng checked it before and after, and then he was a little relieved, "There are many snakes on this mountain, and some of them are poisonous, so be careful." ”

Hearing him say this, Zhou Xinzhi coughed lightly and felt a little embarrassed, looking at this mountain is a dangerous place, fortunately, they found it in time, if the people in this village don't pay attention......

"Do you want to tell the village chief about the snake on this mountain?" She raised her eyes to look at Du Lisheng.

But seeing the other party shook his head and smiled indifferently, "No need, the situation on this mountain is very clear to the people in the village, and in this season, many snake catchers have also started to do things, and the lady doesn't need to worry, let's be careful in the future, and try not to go up the mountain." ”

Zhou Xinzhi suddenly remembered that she had knocked out Zhu Yeqing just now, and suddenly asked Du Lisheng if he had a dagger with him.

"I don't have a dagger, but I do have one with a sickle." Because he may come across some pickable herbs on weekdays, he will take them with him every time he goes up the mountain.

"Okay, you wait for me here, I'll be back right away." Zhou Xinzhi didn't plan to go with him, if she encountered an emergency at that time, she would be able to find a chance to escape, and one more person might not be able to deal with it.

"......"

"I'm fine, I can do it alone, if you go with me, I'll have to worry about you." Although she said this nicely, it was simply to tell Du Lisheng that he might be in trouble with the past.

Du Lisheng didn't act rashly, and obediently stayed in place, but also paid attention to the movements of the little lady from time to time.

Zhou Xinzhi didn't waste any time, found the little snake that she knocked out, quickly cut the little snake in half, and then carefully took out the snake gall with the tip of the sickle.

Looking at the corpse on the ground expressionlessly, he felt a little guilty in his heart, but it was only for a moment.

"Xiao Tongzi, this snake gall will be exchanged." Zhou Xinzhi looked at the blood stains on her hands, picked two leaves and wiped them clean.

After that, I went back to Du Lisheng.

"Ding, the master's snake gallbladder has been redeemed, and a total of 90F value has been exchanged."

Zhou Xinzhi ignored it and continued to go down the mountain with Du Lisheng.

Because she hunted in the mountains all year round, Du Lisheng basically smelled the smell of blood on her body at once.

"What is the lady going to do? But hurt? Du Lisheng thought that she was injured by the sickle, and hurriedly asked.

"That, I'm fine, but I just saw the corpse of a bamboo leaf green over there, and I wanted to try my luck and see if I could dig up the snake gall." She said lightly, without saying that the snake was dead in her hands.

After she explained Du Lisheng, she was relieved, but the little lady actually knew that snake gall had a great effect, which was really unusual.

"Let's go, pick some fruit, and I'll make you something different and good to eat in the evening." Zhou Xinzhi is in a good mood.

I don't know if it's because of the exchange for F or something else, but the corners of her mouth haven't bent down this afternoon.

Zhou Xinzhi returned to the orchard to pick some apples and pears, and then went home with Du Lisheng.

"I'll make you a different dessert in the evening, although it may not be as delicious as you make, but the taste is different from ordinary pastries." She spoke pleasantly.

When she was cleaning up at home, she happened to see a small iron box, although I don't know what it was used for, but it is perfect for making a simple oven.

Back home, Zhou Xinzhi took out the small iron box that she had turned over before.

If you look closely, you can see that the workmanship is still very rough, although there is no electric welding, but there are traces of solidification after high temperature fusion.

"Not bad."

She nodded, and then it was cleaned, first scalded with hot water, and then carefully scrubbed, and the iron box, which was still a little worn, became much newer.

After finishing the preparations, Zhou Xinzhi asked Du Lisheng to dig a small pit in the backyard, not big or small, it is best to put it in this iron box, and she also deliberately dug a place under the small pit where a fire can be lit.

"That's it!" She clapped her hands, looked at the device in front of her, and nodded in satisfaction.

The simple oven is also ready, and the next step is to make it.
