Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Charcoal Kiln

Su Qi nodded, acknowledging Su Moer's point of view.

Su Mo'er shook her head and explained: "If you throw the egg into the fire and burn it, it may be fried, this charcoal kiln doesn't look like an egg, the outside is an eggshell, and the inside is egg liquid......"

"......" Su Suqi felt that she seemed to understand something

He didn't seem to understand anything, so he asked, "When will it be opened?" ”

"Twelve hours."

The contents of the twelve hours have long been burned into charcoal, and there will be no accidents when the charcoal kiln is opened.

Su Qi yawned: "Since it has been burning for so long, why are we waiting here, can't we come back when the time comes?" ”

"Cheng, why don't you go back first?" Su Mo'er raised her eyebrows.

Su Qi moved, but he didn't leave, after all, it was the first time he burned charcoal, and he still wanted to see it with his own eyes.

In the end, neither of them moved, staring at the charcoal kiln.

Waiting for the night to come.

The two of them had been here for too long, and the moment the sun came out, Su Tang came over with a food box.

Su Tang glanced at the closed charcoal kiln and didn't say anything.

Open the food box in your hand: "Eat." ”

Spit out two words clearly.

Su Tang also sat on the side, his eyes falling on the charcoal kiln.

Su Qi took the chopsticks and put the Chinese cabbage with chopsticks in the hot porridge, and ate it with a snort, it seemed to be very fragrant.

Su Moer......

Su Mo'er will never be as big-hearted as Su Qi.

Fill your stomach slowly and put the bowl in the food box.

Su Tang didn't stay here for long, he didn't contribute much when the charcoal kiln was built, and he didn't need him when he was chopping wood, he didn't sweat, and the sense of expectation in his heart was not as strong as Su Qi and Su Mo'er.

Su Qi and Su Mo'er ate, and the two of them waited patiently.

I don't know when the snowflakes fell again.

The sky also became gloomy.

"Sister, is it okay?"

It was too cold outside, and Su Qi's enthusiasm was almost extinguished by the cold weather.

"That's it."

Su Mo'er looked at the sky that was slowly darkening.

Rubbed his hands.

The two of them walked forward together and opened the charcoal kiln.

It's still warm inside.

He reached out and looked at the charcoals.

"Sister, look at you, it's done?"

Su Qi took out a piece of black charcoal and looked at it himself, his eyes shining.

Su Mo'er studied it, and the charcoal couldn't see anything good or bad.

In the previous life, I didn't specialize in this, and my understanding of charcoal was only black, and I could use other ...... I don't know anything about it.

Whether the quality is good or not, you will know if you go home and burn it.

"Come, carry this charcoal home."

Su Mo'er and Su Qi were busy, and a lot of charcoal was burned in a charcoal kiln.

Because the location is different, the quality of the charcoal is also different.

Which one is easy to use, Su Moer can't say for sure.

The two of them carried it three times, and the soles of their shoes were ground into a thin layer before they carried the last remaining bit of charcoal home.

"Mother, do we have a brass charcoal brazier?" Su Mo'er asked Zhou.

A smile appeared on Zhou's face.

Since being bullied by the people of the old Su family, the Zhou family has not laughed much.

Hearing Su Mo'er's words, Zhou couldn't control it.

The brass charcoal brazier, she has never even seen it, the yellow one must be used by the emperor, as for the iron charcoal brazier, the charcoal brazier is more expensive, and she can't afford it at home.

Seeing Zhou's smile, Su Mo'er gave up the idea of continuing to look for a brass charcoal brazier.

I can't figure it out.

"Mother. Look at this charcoal, can it be sold? ”

"You really burned charcoal, it's really ......," Zhou closed his mouth halfway through speaking.

She has a limited vocabulary and doesn't know how to express her exclamation.

"If my mother has a charcoal brazier, let's burn it, and we can divide the charcoal."

"We don't have such a thing as a charcoal brazier, if you want to burn charcoal, you can use mud to pinch a basin." Zhou gave Su Mo'er a suggestion.

People who live at the bottom are more likely to find substitutes in terms of living materials.

"But it's made of mud, and it cracks after using it twice, so it's not easy to use."

Zhou muttered again.

But......

Su Mo'er didn't care anymore.

As long as you can distinguish the quality of charcoal, you can classify and sell charcoal.

The rich people in the county have a lot of things, and after a year, they can finally buy an iron charcoal brazier.

Thinking of this, Su Mo'er suddenly laughed, she actually felt satisfied because she had a brazier.

This shift is really ......

"What are you laughing at?"

Su Qi heard Su Mo'er's laughter, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Don't laugh at anything, let's go play in the mud, get a few more braziers, we have a charcoal fire at home, and put a brazier in everyone's room at night, and it will be warm."

"No, no, these charcoals are going to be sold for money."

Su Qi shook his head.

There is a quilt and a bed at home, and it is a little cold at night, but it will not die if it freezes.

Why do you want to burn charcoal?

It took a lot of effort to get this charcoal.

"Little money fan, whatever you want."

Su Mo'er didn't force Su Qi.

I made a brazier with mud and washed my dirty hands.

When the book is dried, there will be cracks.

A woman's hands are very important and need to be well maintained.

Su Mo'er walked to the stove room, took a spoon and deducted a piece of lard, returned to her room, grinded some medicinal powder, purified the medicinal powder, mixed the distilled water in the lard, slowly heated the white lard and melted it with the medicinal powder, and as the oil lamp was removed, the lard solidified again had more variegation.

At the same time, it also has a shallow medicinal fragrance.

Buckle a piece and rub it on the back of your hand.

The back of the hand, which had been chapped, became lubricated.

It's okay to see how effective the hand cream you make.

A smile appeared at the corner of Su Mo'er's mouth.

Quickly wiped a little on her ears and cheeks, she didn't want to become a plateau red girl.

Some people with good skin can get back to normal in a month, but more people will leave scars on their faces.

Ugly is dead.

The brazier made of mud was placed in the stove room and did not dry completely for three days.

But......

Su Qi couldn't wait any longer.

Anyway, it's made of mud, and it won't be used a few times, and it may only be burned once, and you have to be careful otherwise it's not a pity to explode, and it's distressing to hurt people.

Light the charcoal and throw it into the mud pot.

Su Mo'er carefully observed the burning of several types of charcoal.

Smoked charcoal-fired firewood, the interior has changed.

Put it in a copper basin, and the burning is relatively transparent. Another advantage over ordinary firewood is that there is no smoke.

As for carbon monoxide poisoning?

Su Mo'er didn't even consider this possibility, after all......

The house is very well ventilated these days. Good beyond expectations.

It is different from those houses made of blue bricks in later generations.

"The black charcoal is the best, the flame is vigorous, the burning time is long, the gray one is almost a little, and there is a kind of crack that is more common, it can also be used, but it is the worst."

"So, can we sell our charcoal?"

Su Qi glanced at Su Mo'er and swallowed his saliva.

Su Mo'er nodded.

It must be sellable.

This kind of carbon is considered good, even if there is no smoked fresh firewood, it does not have such a good effect.

"Then, let's go sell charcoal tomorrow."

"Okay."

Su Mo'er nodded.

On the side, Zhou took a shoe with a sole that was only one layer of polished and mended it.

Add a layer to the sole and wear it for a while.

Tomorrow I have to sell charcoal into a village ox cart.

Two baskets of charcoal, the weight is not light.

It's a lot of money.

The charcoal has not been sold yet, and a lot of money has been invested in the business.

At this time......

What Zhou can do is to minimize the family's expenses.

The coals in the mud pot burned, emitting sparks.

Su Mo'er took a sweet potato from the stove room and put it in the basin, and after a while, the sweet smell came out.

Su Qi was drooling greedily.

Stared at the brazier for a long time.

Su Mo'er was too lazy for a while, Su Qi's temperament that couldn't move when he saw food.

A wooden box was pulled out of his body.

"Mother, this is my own ointment, wash your hands and apply some after washing your face every day, and your skin will become delicate and ruddy."

"I'm old, what more do I want to be ruddy."

“…… Mother, it's good for the body, and the child in the belly will be smarter after using it. "Su Mo'er doesn't want the Zhou family to look like someone in his fifties in his thirties.

The formula of the ointment is milder and does not harm pregnant women.

As for...... Is the child in the belly smarter? As long as you don't worry about food and clothing, someone will guide you, and your head will not be pitted, no matter how stupid you are, you will probably not be stupid.

Su Mo'er is also well-intentioned in order to let the Zhou family start maintenance from now on.

You know, those who have maintained it are not the same as those who have not...... It's like a chasm.

Sure enough, the child in the belly was smarter when he heard it.

Zhou immediately snatched the wooden box in Su Moer's hand.

For people like Zhou, Su Moer didn't understand it at all.

In the next generation, even if they become mothers, most of them will focus on themselves and do everything for their children...... I can't say it and I can't do it.

Su Qi glanced at the small box in Zhou's hand, and his gaze fell on Su Mo'er.

The voice became soft.

"Sister, do you have mine?"

"Here you go."

Su Mo'er threw Su Qi a small box, and Su Qi happily touched a piece of it in his hand.

The back of his hand became moisturized, and Su Qi was happy.

I went to bed early.

Tomorrow and tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Su Qi and Su Mo'er ate something at random, and left the village under Zhou's gaze, and the little milk dog of more than a month ran out of the village with Su Qi.

Su Qi got into the ox cart, and the little milk dog turned around and ran home.

After raising it for a few days, the little yellow dog has adapted to the life of the Su family.

"What are you carrying in your basket, girl of the Su family, and you look very heavy?"

"Guess."

Su Mo'er moved the hay on the back basket and covered it tightly.

The charcoal business has not stabilized yet, and Su Mo'er doesn't want people to know about this business, and there will be more things if they are known.

"You little girl is still mysterious." Deng Datou muttered.

I didn't open the back basket in the end.

casually carried it with his hand and said, "A basket is a penny." ”
