Chapter 29 029 Livelihood
But making your own thing is much more convenient than making the water stove, and you don't need to cut the iron sheet, you just need to burn something like a hot pot.
"Then if the master doesn't do it, forget it, I originally wanted to say that if the master is willing to do it, I will take care of your business in the future." Wan Niang pulled Xu Hong and was about to leave.
"Eh, okay, okay, sell it to you. Just when I open it in the afternoon. Seeing that Wanniang was leaving, the boss hurriedly pretended to say, "When do you want to?" ”
Of course, he knew that what Wan Niang said was actually much better than his stove, and he only needed to make a fire-resistant stove, and there was no need to cut the iron sheet, wrap the iron sheet, and burn the iron sheet.
"The sooner the better, of course." Wan Niang said, "If I can, I want it today." ”
"Success, there is a pressed embryo in the mold at home, and it will be burned and dried." The boss put down the iron sheet in his hand and shouted into the shop, "Wife, I'll go home and make an embryo." With that, he wiped his hands and walked out.
"Done! You go and come back quickly. A woman in her forties came out of the shop, and when she saw Wanniang standing outside, she nodded and greeted, "Come in and sit and wait!" It will probably take a while for him to return. ”
"Boss, how long does it take for the boss to sit on this thing?" Wan Niang obediently pulled Xu Hong into the shop and sat down, looked at the proprietress with some apprehension and asked.
"About an hour or so." The proprietress took two cups, poured water for Wanniang and them, and handed them to them, "Are you worried about going back late?" Where do you stay? ”
"Xujia Village."
"Time is a bit tight." The proprietress frowned, "Why don't you pay a deposit and come to get it tomorrow?" ”
"No, we're in a hurry, it's easier to get it back today." It's four o'clock when I walk to the town after eating, and it's five o'clock after waiting for another hour, and when I go back after cooking the stove, I'm afraid it's already seven or eight o'clock.
But Wan Niang didn't want to waste time running around town again, so she had to wait.
Sure enough, when I got the stove and got home, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and I was sweating all the way down. The courtyard door of the house was open, and the two children sat under a small stool in the courtyard and waited for her. Seeing that she was back, they all pounced.
"Grandma, why are they all sitting outside?" Wan Niang caught the two children and looked at the Li family, who was holding the children under the eaves.
"Two children miss you! I let them eat, but they won't eat, and I have to wait for you to join us. Li replied with a smile, "Come in and eat." ”
"I think they ate too much at noon to eat." Wan Niang was a little embarrassed, if she hadn't insisted on waiting for the stove, how could the child have not eaten so late, "You haven't eaten yet?" ”
"Waiting for you and your fourth brother!" Li carried the child into the house.
Wan Niang followed behind embarrassedly, and Xu Hong also entered the house and put the stove in his hand in the hall.
As soon as Wan Niang entered the house, she saw a big paint bucket in the house and a large push of wire. Xu Hu had already cut the wire into sections one by one according to the drawings and wound them into circles smaller than the paint buckets. There are two sizes of rings, a slightly smaller inner ring of a dozen, and a slightly larger outer ring of a dozen, but both are smaller than paint buckets, these wires are placed in the paint buckets, which are used to place sweet potatoes.
Wan Niang looked at it and loved it very much, as if she had seen the scene of making money.
"Okay, okay, let's finish eating first." Xu Hu saw that Wanniang liked it, and he was very happy in his heart.
Wan Niang responded, and after eating absentmindedly, she took the paint bucket, the wire and the stove and tinkered with it. Li shook his head helplessly and went out to wash the dishes with the bowl.
The two children were also very curious, squatting next to Wan Niang and watching.
Wan Niang put the things in the paint bucket, and then put the wire in it, "Abba, tomorrow I will find a blacksmith to help me weld this wire and the stove." ”
"Tell me what you're going to do." Xu Hu stood aside, looking at Wan Niang's appearance, feeling as if he could understand what Wan Niang was going to do.
Wan Niang pulled up the wire, and the wire circled in a circle like a net in the paint bucket layer by layer, except that the carbon fire in the middle made a circle empty, "That's it." ”
"You don't have to weld." Xu Hu took out the wire in Wan Niang's hand, and then wrapped it around it, and after a while, something similar to a round shoe rack appeared in Xu Hu's hand, and it was still hollow in the middle.
Xu Hu looked at the shelves he had walked out with satisfaction and put them in the paint bucket. The whole oven for roasting sweet potatoes is already a very complete semi-finished product.
"Abba, if it's not fixed, this wire shelf will shake. When the time comes, all my sweet potatoes will fall into the charcoal fire, and it will be strange if they don't burn and burn! Wan Niang said helplessly: "Although there is no need to weld the place where the wire and the wire are connected now, but the stove must be welded to the paint bucket, and the wire must be welded to the paint bucket, right?" ”
"Then I'll carry you to the commune tomorrow to weld." Xu Hu also found out and said busily.
"Well, thank you, Abba. By the way, Abba, remember to ask the blacksmith to make a hole under the paint bucket for me, like a honeycomb coal stove. Otherwise, the carbon fire in the gas will not be combustible. Wan Niang reminded Xu Hu.
"Got it, don't worry! I can understand your diagram. Xu Hu responded, patting his chest and guaranteeing.
Wan Niang let go of her heart, looking at this big paint bucket, Wan Niang was happy and apprehensive.
Although people's living standards have improved a lot after the reform and opening up, will roasted sweet potatoes really sell particularly well like in their previous lives? She tossed for an afternoon today, Xu Hu and Xu Hong didn't do any work, the work in the countryside dragged on for a day, and tomorrow Xu Hu had to carry a paint bucket to the commune to help her weld, which means that she wasted the whole family for two days, she always has to earn back these costs and labor, otherwise how can she be worthy of Abba, Aunt and Fourth Brother?
With Xu Hu's help, the oven for roasting sweet potatoes was quickly ready. Originally, Wan Niang wanted to buy coal to roast, but Li stopped Wan Niang and burned a lot of big firewood for Wan Niang, which burned her heart and became a charcoal fire, which was easy to burn when thrown into the oven.
On the day of the fifteenth, Wanniang got up at four o'clock in the morning, Xu Hu and Xu Hong were the same, they carried the oven on their backs and sweet potatoes on their backs, and followed Wanniang up the mountain with carbon.
They originally thought that they got up early, but they didn't expect that as soon as they went up the mountain, there were people who set up stalls along the way, selling breakfast and everything, but there were no sweet potatoes, Wan Niang was relieved. There were a lot of stalls under the mountain, so Wanniang and they had to climb up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, I finally saw a position, and it was occupied by a person holding a sugar gourd marshmallow in the back.
