Chapter 553: To the Brick Kiln (4)

The kiln owner held his arms and pinched the dry cigarette rolls, watching the housekeeper settle the accounts.

The housekeeper has set up a stall to sell vegetables or something, and he will settle accounts. He counted it twice, and it was the same number, 'five hundred and twenty gold'. The housekeeper calculated, shook the abacus, and said, "The kiln master is right, five hundred and twenty hardware." That is, five ingots and two hardware. ”

When the village lord heard this, he dipped his pen in ink and wrote on the paper, and said in his mouth: "A total of five ingots and two pieces of hardware." Where to buy bricks and tiles? The village lord asked, "What is the name of your brick kiln?" ”

The kiln owner replied: "Ping'an brick kiln." The name of our village. ”

The village owner wrote down the Ping'an brick kiln and said: "Our village has a shop or something, and the name of the shop is called Ping'an, and there are a lot of people who call it Ping'an at the beginning." ”

After the village lord finished writing, he copied it on another piece of paper. When he had finished writing, the village owner pushed two pieces of paper to the kiln owner, handed him the pen, and said, "Sign, sign your name, behind the seller." ”

The kiln owner took the pen and saw the word seller. He asked, "Sign both papers?" ”

The village owner replied: "Sign them all, you keep one, I will keep one." ”

The kiln owner signed his name on two pieces of paper. The village lord took the two pieces of paper, took out the seal, and sighed at the seal, and when it was two sounds, it was stamped behind the buyer of the two pieces of paper.

The village owner put the seal back in his pocket and pushed it to the kiln owner: "Put it away." ”

The kiln owner carefully folded the signed and stamped paper and put it in his trouser pocket. He pinched the cigarette in his hand, inhaled, and spat the smoke.

The village owner folded the signed and stamped piece of paper and put it in the clothes belt. The village owner picked up the inkstone, took two steps to lift the ink to the door, and came back to get the paper and wiped the inkstone. I also dipped the pen in ink and blotted it with paper.

The village owner put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put it in his arms. He said, "Pull the bricks." ”

The kiln master stretched out his hand to the door: "Please." ”

The village owner should be the first to go out of the house, and the kiln owner is the last.

Out of the house, the village owner looked at the courtyard, and there were only piles of bricks and tiles in the yard, and there were not many bricks and tiles, and there were only a few hundred in each pile. The courtyard was full of jars and water tanks, as well as plates and bowls.

The village owner asked, "Just those bricks and tiles, look at the old bricks and tiles?" ”

The kiln owner replied, "In the cave." The kiln master walked out the door, "The village master will come with me." He looked at the square-headed man and commanded, "Go to the stable, pull the wagon, and pull the bricks." ”

"Got the kiln master." The man replied, and went to the west stables of the brick kiln to call the horse-drawn carriage.

The village owner and housekeeper followed the kiln owner to the east side of the brick kiln, and there were seven or eight caves. The kiln owner said: "The bricks and tiles are all in it, and some workers are still burning." ”

The kiln owner walked into the cave, and the cave was all open. As soon as the village supervisor's house came in, it was hot and there were workers moving bricks. The workers were shirtless, and the sweat on their backs was shining with sweat.

Bricks and tiles were stacked on top of each other. The kiln owner pointed out: "Look, it's all new bricks and new tiles." ”

Looking at the fresh bricks and tiles, the village owner said, "This brick and tile is good, isn't it?" ”

The kiln owner smiled at the village owner and said, "The village master has praised him." ”

The kiln owner took a few puffs of the cigarette in his hand and said, "Where are the 55,000 bricks and 5,050 tiles?" ”

The housekeeper said, "You know the Fulai Inn, right?" ”

"Fortune Inn?"

The housekeeper said, "Aren't there two places where the house collapsed?" Near the crossroads. ”

"Oh there. Dula there? The kiln master asked.

The butler replied, "Dula is there." Stacked on the road. ”

"Gotcha." The kiln owner smokes and spits out the smoke.

There is a room on the west side of the brick kiln, which is two carriages away from the brick kiln. This room is the stable, with a large door, and there are horses and carriages in it. The square-headed guy called: "Old Xia, pull the bricks, put the carriage on." ”

Lao Xia, who watched the horses, was feeding the horses, and he asked: "How many cars are set, how many bricks are pulled, and are there tiles?" ”

The square-headed guy said: "You put it on first, I'll ask the shopkeeper how many cars it has, it sounds like 55,000 bricks and tiles." ”

"Ah, there you go." Lao Xia threw grass in the manger and said to the horse: "Eat more, I'm going to work soon." ”

The square-headed guy ran to the east of the brick kiln, entered the cave, and said: "Kiln master, that Lao Xia asked how many cars to set, and how many bricks to pull, and whether there were tiles?" ”

The kiln owner smoked a cigarette, and there was not much smoke left. He said: "There are five cars, there are not so many people to drive the carriage, and there are not many carriages, and you have to leave people to watch the brick kiln, which is still burning bricks." The kiln owner added, "A total of fifty-five bricks, and five thousand five hundred watts." That's it. ”

The square-headed guy listened, "Kiln master, I'll go tell Lao Xia." ”

The kiln master snorted and nodded.

When the square-headed man came out of the cave, he ran to Lao Shana and told him the words of the kiln master. He saw that Lao Xia was feeding grass to the horses and not setting the car, so he asked, "Why haven't you set the car yet?" ”

Lao Xia replied: "Pulling bricks and tiles is a physically demanding job, you have to feed the horse first, can it be pulled if you don't feed it?" ”

The square-headed guy said: "It's the village owner who came to pull the bricks, and the kiln owner is waiting for the carriage to load the bricks in the cave, and you don't have a set of cars?" After speaking, the square-headed man reached out to untie the horse's rope: "I'll lass the horse." ”

The square-headed guy untied the ropes of the two horses, led the horses and said: "What is the physical strength of the two horse-drawn carts, the wheels are all round ground, and they will go as soon as they are pulled." ”

"You..." Lao Xia didn't stop Fang Tou, he said, "Why are you in a hurry?" ”

"The kiln master and the village master are waiting." The square-headed man led the horse and put the cart on the horse. The carriage was surrounded by baffles, the skeleton was still iron, and the wheels were wide, designed for pulling bricks and tiles.

The square-headed guy said, "You also set up a car?" ”

Lao Xia sighed, no longer fed grass to the horse, he untied the horse rope and went to lass the horse. He said, "Five carts and ten horses, we can set two more carriages." ”

The square-headed man harnessed the horses and said, "The four horses are kept for you to feed the grass." ”

Lao Xia retreated a horse between the two handlebars and said, "I feed grass if I don't work, but I don't feed me when I want to work." ”

Fangtou guy: "Pull the bricks, it's not too late to feed them." ”

The square-headed guy first put on a carriage and pulled it out.

Lao Xia works slowly, but carefully, and the car set is clear and eye-catching. The square-headed man came back to see him working, and said, "Just put the horse on the cart, you do it carefully, I think it looks like grinding time." ”

The square-headed man untied two more horses and led them to the cart for them.

The square-headed guy put the car on it, Lao Xia put the car on it, pulled the carriage out, and said: "This is called respect for horses, horses are different from other animals, horses are cavalry on the battlefield." ”

The square-headed guy led the carriage out: "The horse is a cavalry on the battlefield, but you are not a cavalryman, you are just a mowing grass to feed the horses." Horses can go to war, can you? ”

Lao Xia pulled the cart out hard, squinting at the square head.

The square-headed guy saw Lao Xia squinting at him and said, "The soldier is so fast, your car is so slow, you were either killed by the general or the enemy." ”

Lao Xia pulled the car out first, and Fang Tou followed to pull the car out. Lao Xia looked square, did not speak, and walked quickly into the stable, to untie the horse and give the horse a cart.

Although Lao Xia was said by Fang Tou, the car is still well-seen and careful.

Fang Tou walked into the stable, saw Lao Xia set a car, and said: "You can't be a cavalryman, and it's easy to be killed if you feed the horses." ”
