Chapter 67 Lime kiln opened
Mobile reading
I found the old people in the village and helped me weave some baskets and dustpans and other things. The second uncle, Jiang Erzhu, also followed him to Shishan to supervise the work. Before going again, I was called to my home by Jiang Yuer and trained a lot of safety knowledge.
said that he was going to be an overseer, but in fact, he was just going there to control safety.
The coal from the coal mine also came out, and Jiang Yu'er hired the ox carts of several families in the village who had ox carts to transport the excavated coal to the side of Shishan. On the day the lime kiln started, the second uncle Jiang Erzhu asked Jiang Yu'er to prepare some things for sacrifice.
Actually, Jiang Yuer doesn't believe in these gods and ghosts. But looking at the big bosses and small bosses of the company in the previous life, they will be very lively on the opening day. She followed suit, and asked her second aunt to help make a lot of small red envelopes, all of which contained some copper plates. This is a business for employees!
A lot of firewood was thrown into the lime kiln, and when the firewood was burned, a layer of coal was put on it, and then a layer of stones that were not too big were placed. Another layer of coal was put in. In this way, coal and stones were placed in it layer after layer. until the entire lime kiln is filled.
Jiang Erzhu put the prepared chicken, pig's head and tail, and four hooves, and put an arsenic in it, and put some rice in it. Originally, the sacrificial thing should have been done by Jiang Zisu, who was in charge, but because they were in the school and didn't take a vacation, Jiang Yu'er, the boss, was also called over, Jiang Erzhu lit incense wax, put the candle into the arsenic rice, and handed the incense to Jiang Yu'er. Jiang Yu'er bowed to the Quartet according to what Jiang Erzhu said, and then handed the incense to Jiang Erzhu after worshipping.
When Jiang Erzhu inserted the incense into the rice, he heard someone shouting to light firecrackers, and a burst of 'crackling' firecrackers sounded, and the lime kiln sacrifice ceremony was completed.
Because Jiang Yu'er burns lime not for her own family, but for trading. So, when I dug it, I dug up a dozen or so. The canopy next to it was also built to put the lime burned.
This thing can't see water, and when it sees water, it volatilizes. And there is a certain corrosiveness. Therefore, this canopy is built more exquisitely and cannot leak. This cost Jiang Yuer a lot of silver. As a result, she now wants to buy some green bricks and come back to build a red brick kiln, but she has no silver.
I can only wait dryly, waiting for the lime from the lime kiln to be sold, and I can earn some silver to come back and buy green bricks. As for the silver to buy the iron, it hasn't been given to Luo Yunshuo yet. Jiang Yu'er has always pretended not to know this, and she didn't tell Li Feng and them.
Since the other party wanted to meddle in her affairs, she was cheeky and waited for the money to return to that person when she had money. When the lime kiln was burned, Jiang Yu'er could be regarded as letting go of one thing in her heart, but if the big stones that were brought down were used to burn lime, it would indeed be a bit wasteful.
She'd have to figure out how to make them worthwhile, and they can't all be spent on lime. Build houses, this is their only way out at the moment. It's just that people in this era only know how to build houses with mud bricks and blue bricks, and no one has built houses with stones. One is that the stone is hard and difficult to get down, and the other is that people can't use this stone.
With the adhesive mud that ordinary houses are built in, this stone house really can't be built. But now that there is lime, these stones cannot be wasted. Now when it's time to set off firecrackers, she thinks about it. In the previous life, there was gunpowder. There are also in this era, but they are all used to make firecrackers.
She knew that some of the most important things for making gunpowder were sulfur and nitric acid, and since someone had made firecrackers, these things should also be found.
In her previous life, the state strictly forbade the use of these things, but in this era, it seems that it is not so strict, so she decided to find it. If she can't find it, she can also buy it directly from the manufacturer who makes firecrackers. As long as they can afford to pay for these things, they will also get them, so why not sell them?
The lime can be produced twice a day, and what she has to do now is how to get it to the market. Let others know what it's for.
I also thought of a larger stone just now, so why not make a set meal and launch it together? Someone came to buy stones, and even the lime was pushed out. When someone came to buy lime, they told him that they would build a house with stones.
It seems that we have to find some masons for this. Tell them about these techniques for free, but on the condition that they return the stones and lime for themselves.
Just do it when you think of it, Jiang Yuer found her second uncle Jiang Erzhu, when her family built a house before, the person she was looking for was still the second uncle who helped find it! At this moment, she believes incomparably that connections are important.
After finding the second uncle, Jiang Yuer told him what she thought in her heart: "Second uncle, do you think this is okay?" ”
Jiang Erzhu was stunned for a moment, and then thought back, if that stone can really be used to build a house, wouldn't this save a lot of things? It's just that this stone builds a house, will there be a craftsman? "Niuniu, it's a good thing to build a house with this stone, but, is there a craftsman?"
Jiang Yu'er said: "Second uncle, isn't this coming to you?" Because no one can, and the second uncle knows a lot of people, so he asked the second uncle if there are any craftsmen willing to try new things. If so, I'd like to tell them for free how to build a house out of this stone. ”
Jiang Erzhu is also a smart and honest person, and after Jiang Yu'er woke up, he immediately thought of the meaning of his eldest niece's words. He smiled and said, "It's still our girl's head." ”
Jiang Yu'er saw that he understood, so she didn't say much, and turned around to do other things. Now, she's not just on the lime to deal with. Before the red bricks come out, the stone will also be an entry.
Lime is an easy thing to burn, as long as the fire is big enough, it can usually be burned twice a day.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yuer got up earlier than anyone else, and went to Shishan early in the morning, Zhang Sanshun, who was catching the car, also wondered what kind of virtue his own young lady was, although he didn't live in the new house, but he was still very clear. Every day, she doesn't sleep until she wakes up naturally, and she usually doesn't get up.
What's going on today? Wake up so early? Sitting on the ox cart, Jiang Yu'er, who was excited, didn't know what Zhang Sanshun was thinking. She only knew that today was the day when her first kiln lime came out, and she had to go to Shishan early in the morning to explain to them what kind of lime could be used.
Moreover, she also thought about it, the house at home is all made of mud bricks, and the lights in the house are yellow, dark, and there is no feeling of brightness at all. She was going to use her first kiln lime to paint the house, so that it would be white and clean and look comfortable.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and the corners of my mouth didn't know when they were raised. This made Zhang Sanshun even more wondering, what's wrong with the eldest lady today? Early in the morning, so excited?
