"Is this stove easy to use?"

Looking at the stove that Su Hao had repaired, Yang Gendi asked in disbelief. From an intuitive point of view, Su Haoxiu's stove is a little larger than before, which is mainly due to the thickening of the furnace wall. The mud smeared around is quite neat, compared with the original stove that has been used for decades, it does look much better, which makes Yang Gendi have a little confidence in Su Hao. But the quality of the stove, after all, is not determined by appearance.

"You'll know if you burn it." Su Hao leaned against the kitchen door and said with a grin.

"Mom, I'll cook pig food." Lu Xiuer thought of a way to test the stove. There is a pig at home, which is used to kill it for some pocket money during the New Year, and cooking pig food is something to do every day, just to try the quality of the stove.

Yang Gendi nodded and agreed, Lu Xiuer went to the firewood room and brought a bundle of straw, took out a small handful, lit it with a fire sickle and stuffed it into the hearth, and began to burn the fire. Yang Gendi scooped a few scoops of water into the pot, covered the pot, and within a few minutes, she saw hot air coming out of the pot.

"So fast?" Yang Gendi was really shocked.

"Mom, this stove is really good to burn, the fire is very strong, and there is no smoke yet."

"Are you desperately trying to put straw in place?"

"No, just put a few handfuls of grass, and the fire burned, which really saves firewood!" Lu Xiu'er shouted happily.

"Hehe, what Ben Xiu just did, you still don't believe it?" Su Hao said triumphantly.

Yang Gendi looked at Su Hao and asked, "Hao'er, is this really your stove?" ”

"Who else could it be if it wasn't me?" Su Hao felt that he had been slighted and was quite annoyed.

"Didn't you ask Dr. Stove to fix it?"

"What Dr. Stove? I'm Dr. Stove, okay? Su Hao said.

"My brother is better than Dr. Stove!" Lu Xiu'er asserted, "The stove in the mayor's house was made by the best stove doctor in Shitan Town, and the last time the mayor had a happy event at his house, I went to help light the fire, and I used his stove, which is not even half as good as our stove." ”

"Why do you know how to cook?" Yang Gendi said strangely.

Su Hao could only push these unexplained phenomena into the book, and he said: "Mom, you see that I study all day long, do I read to pigs?" Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows the world's affairs, all these wells and stoves, all of them are knowledge, and they are all written in the book. ”

"But why haven't I heard you say it before?" Yang Gendi still doesn't believe that her son suddenly has so many skills, and he didn't have any clues before, how can she believe it?

Su Hao said: "Once upon a time, wasn't I busy taking the Xiucai exam? This test Xiucai is mainly to test the four books and five classics, and you just need to be able to endorse it. I already have a reputation for showing talents, and I will test people in the future, and this test is different from the test of Xiucai, and lifting people is to test the ability to do things, so I began to learn these things. ”

Yang Gendi still didn't believe it: "You mean, the examiner still has to take the repair stove?" How could the Imperial Emperor not? ”

Ting Zhaogong is the last talent in the village, and he is also the father of Su Zhong, the chief of the village. Before Su Hao was admitted to Xiucai, this Su Tingzhao was the most learned person in the village, but he had never heard anyone say that he could repair stoves. On the contrary, he said something like a gentleman who cooks far away, that is, a scholar cannot go to the kitchen.

This kind of brain-turning question couldn't help Su Hao, and he smiled: "Didn't Ting Zhaogong fail to pass the exam, this is because he can't repair the stove." ”

"You're lying." After all, Lu Xiu'er is young, and her brain is much more active, and she suddenly heard Su Hao talking nonsense, "You said before that the examiner also has to write articles, and you never said that you want to take the exam." ”

"That's what you don't understand." Su Hao opened his mouth and came, "For the exam, of course, I won't directly take the brick knife to compete, but I will write out the process of repairing the stove, and the examiner will know if you will be able to do it after reading it." This is called theory guiding practice, and it is very profound. ”

"Oh...... So that's the case? Lu Xiuer really didn't understand it, and began to reflect on her IQ.

It's not a martial arts...... Su Hao secretly condemned himself and used some terms from later generations to fool a little Lori of the Ming Dynasty, which was too unmartial.

After being tired all morning, Su Hao went to bed after eating. Although he knew that his mother and sister had gone to work in the fields, and it was really a sinful thing to sleep at home, he had no choice but to be in too poor physical condition to help him, so he should first raise his spirits, and look back to think about any way to earn money by intelligence, and get some money to supplement the family.

After sleeping for only an hour, he was woken up by the noise coming from outside the door, and when he listened to it, it seemed that his mother was walking home with several other middle-aged women in the village.

"Mom, why are you back?" Su Hao got up from the bed and came to the door to greet his mother Yang Gendi.

As soon as the women saw Su Hao, they squeaked and commented:

"Oh, I think we must be arguing with Xiucailang to study, right?"

"Gendi, you see that your Hao'er looks like a talent, I said a long time ago, Hao'er will definitely be a big official."

"That's for sure, listen to my dead ghost, yesterday Hao'er talked to that feng shui gentleman, and that feng shui gentleman couldn't talk about him."

"Xiucailang will definitely win the top prize, Gendi, you will definitely enjoy it."

……

Yang Gendi was said by a group of women to be both excited and embarrassed, and said again and again:

"My family Hao'er will die studying, and he won't do anything, if he can win a lift in the future, I'll die of laughter, how dare I think about anything like the champion."

Su Hao's second monk was at a loss, he didn't know why his mother brought a group of middle-aged women home, could it be that his character exploded on the first day, and these women wanted to come and be a matchmaker for him? I have the impression that these women all have daughters at home. However, does it seem that I have a child daughter-in-law? Well, if your daughters are beautiful, it's not impossible to introduce them, but you have to say that you can only be a concubine when you enter the door......

Su Hao was in the middle of lewdness, but saw Yang Gendi come forward a little timidly, and whispered to Su Hao: "Hao'er, it's all blame on my mother's mouth, I told you aunts about your stove repair, they all want to come and see, look at it......"

Belch...... Su Hao was speechless, it was not himself who came to see his lover's house, but the stove he repaired. He didn't have to think about it to be able to guess, he must have repaired a good stove by himself, and his mother was proud, so she went full of publicity, so these rural women organized a visiting group to come and observe.

"It's okay, let's see." Su Hao said generously.

A dry woman, under the leadership of Yang Gendi, entered the kitchen of Su Hao's house, and before the fire started, everyone shouted and screamed, and what they said was nothing more than how beautiful and exquisite this stove was.

Yang Gendi brought a bundle of straw and scooped some water into the pot, and the women began to take turns trying to light the fire. As soon as the fire is lit, everyone calms down, these women are all people who cook on the fire all day long, and they can feel the quality of the stove as soon as they get started. Before coming to Su Hao's house, they still had some doubts about how good this stove could be, and felt that Yang Gendi's words were somewhat bragging. When they came to burn the stove themselves, they were completely shocked: it turned out that a stove could be so easy to use!

"Gendi, see if your family has time, can you help my family to take a look at such a stove."

Someone began to ask Yang Gendi, they came to Su Hao's house to visit this stove, of course, the purpose is not only to open their eyes, but more importantly, to investigate whether this stove is really so magical, if the situation is true, then they have to beg Su Hao to help them also take a look at this kind of stove.

The whole village is the same as Su Hao's family, there is a problem that the straw recovered from the field is not enough to burn, and it is not a small job to go out to pick firewood every day.

This is also the reason why Yang Gendi was quite apologetic in front of Su Hao, of course she knew what these sisters thought, but she couldn't refuse. This kind of thing is to ask Su Hao to do it, will this delay his son's study? Also, will the son, who has always been high-minded, be willing to do this?

Yang Gendi looked at her son with timid eyes, waiting for him to speak.
