Chapter 13 Burning Bricks

At this time, Cheng Ran saw that there was still some diluted clay left over from the construction of the brick kiln next to him, so he smeared all the clay on the outside of the brick kiln, and after completing all the work, Cheng Ran looked at his masterpiece and smiled with satisfaction.

It took Cheng Ran nearly five hours to do all this, and at this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the production of brick embryos could only be carried out tomorrow.

When Cheng Ran dragged her tired body back to the shelter, Li Yuxin had already cooked dinner, said hello to Li Yuxin after dinner, and went to sleep.

When Cheng Ran got up in the morning, he went to the beach to catch the sea as usual, and after that, he went to check yesterday's fishing traps.

When he came to the trap, Cheng Ran was pleasantly surprised to find that there were two fish inside, gray, with many black spots on their bodies, about forty centimeters, and it was estimated that there would be at least five catties each.

Cheng Ran grabbed one, the fish seemed to know that this human was going to kill it, desperately struggled to twist his fat body, walked to the side of the reef and smashed it, the fish that could still be alive in the previous second was soft and had no vitality in the next second, the fish in the trap seemed to feel that its companion had lost his life, and he scurried around in the trap uneasily, hitting the wooden stick with his head fiercely, but the wooden stick with a diameter of ten centimeters did not move at all, and he fainted without hitting the fish a few times.

Cheng Ran casually threw the fish on the beach, went back to the shelter to take a stone knife to deal with the fish, this fish is not small, although the fish scales are not big, but there are many fish scales, and when Cheng Ran scraped the fish scales with a stone knife, it took nearly ten minutes, and there was no suitable tool, after scraping the fish scales, he began to disembowel, this time he didn't leave the internal organs, washed the fish and brought it back to the shelter, because of what happened yesterday, Li Yuxin was no longer surprised by what Cheng Ran took back, although he didn't know what the fish was, But he didn't ask, he just felt that his choice was right, just wait to eat, and looked at Cheng Ran's eyes full of little stars.

With the branch of the roasted snake yesterday, the fish was inserted into the branch and put on the fire to roast it, the fire was also very angry, it didn't take a few minutes to start yellowing, and the fire began to drip oil, and the fire also burst into a crackling sound, Cheng Ran turned the branch from time to time, and sprinkled a little salt on it during the period.

Since it was a sea fish, Cheng Ran didn't dare to spread more, just a little bit at home, anyway, it was not too late to add it later, and finally let Li Yuxin snatch it after the exam.

Cheng Ran smiled and said, "It's just baked, it's very hot, eat it slowly." ”

It was too late when he said this, and Li Yuxin was called out with a hot "ah".

"Why didn't you say it earlier," Li Yuxin said with a look of resentment

Cheng Ran smiled and had no choice but to take the grilled fish, tore off a piece of meat and blew it a few times, handed it to Li Yuxin and said, "I didn't know that your movements were so fast, like a little gluttonous cat." ”

"People have burned their hands and can't hold them." Li Yuxin said coquettishly

Cheng Ran's heart rippled for a while, and he said a little dizzily: "Then I'll feed you" said and sent forward.

The day's breakfast ended in such a sweet atmosphere that you take a bite and I take a bite, Cheng Ran began to make brick embryos, and Li Yuxin's body has basically healed, and she went to the beach to swim, but there was a wolf looking at it directly, and she was reluctant to blink her eyes, this was the first time she looked at Li Yuxin carefully since she landed on the island.

By noon, Cheng Ran already had the previous layer of experience, and this time it was much faster than before, about nearly five hundred pieces.

After lunch, Cheng Ran did not choose to continue making, but chose to rest for a while and take a nap, Li Yuxin did not bother Cheng Ran, she has been collecting firewood since she came back from swimming in the morning, and now seeing that Cheng Ran is asleep and going to collect firewood again, she knows that when Cheng Ran starts to burn bricks, these firewood will not take long to burn.

When Cheng Ran got up, it had been an hour and a half, and then he walked to the place where the bricks were dry, the temperature on the island was high and the sun was big, and it was already hard, so he picked up a piece and checked it, and felt that it was not possible to use it directly, but it should not be a big problem to burn bricks, so he began to collect yards next to the brick kiln.

After doing all this, he began to stack up the brick kiln, Cheng Ran did not lay it but stood up horizontally, he felt that this could make the circulation of the fire a little better and also make the temperature of the bricks higher when burning, when Cheng Ran finished stacking this kiln, the kiln was smaller, and it was less than a hundred yards, and he thought with some frustration, "When will this burn before the materials for building the house." ”

When I thought of the house, I thought of a fatal problem, the problem of the wall is basically solved now, but what about the roof, what about the roof.

So he could only take one step at a time, and the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge, and Cheng Ran firmly believed in cheering for himself.

Cheng Ran sealed the kiln mouth with clay and some wooden sticks and began to burn, because he had no experience in the first time and stuffed the two fires with firewood, and found that there was no fire, so he smoked them separately, and the fire began to be full and bigger, and after a while, he began to make a whirring sound, so frightened that Cheng Ran immediately ran back, and stopped at a distance of about five or six meters from the brick kiln, and thought with a blank face, "What's the situation, it won't be exploded"

After waiting for a while to make sure that it would not explode, he slowly walked to the brick kiln in fright, looking at the exhaust holes that were burning out, and thought about how long it would burn.

After burning for two hours, Cheng Ran took out all the firewood inside, put it aside and extinguished the fire with soil, and opened the kiln to check the results after it cooled.

While waiting for the brick kiln to cool down, Cheng Ran did not sit idle, but began to make brick embryos again.

After about forty minutes to the brick kiln, carefully open the brick kiln mouth for the next time, open the kiln to check, when the kiln mouth opened to see the first sight, suddenly surprised.

Excited to think "this is a red brick ......"

But after taking out the two pieces, they collided with each other and broke apart from the middle, Cheng Ran looked at the fracture and found that the inside was all black, only about a centimeter on the side was red, and then he thought in his heart, "Maybe the temperature is not enough, and it will take longer to burn next time."

Cheng Ran continued to take out the bricks inside, and when he reached the bottom layer, he found that it was very hard, and then he felt that the top one had been burned for a short time, and it was best to burn it for about an extra hour.

After taking this kiln, it began to stack it again, and it was the same as the previous yard method, and in the end the sealing of the kiln mouth was much simpler than before, and there was already a kiln mouth with the bricks burned before, and only needed to use clay slurry to wipe around and then buckle the kiln mouth.
