Chapter Seventy-Five: Digging the Kiln
Ruyi found water to wash and wash, and after a while, the stove room became bright and clean, but the first floor was not.
Ruyi then found a knife, chopped the chestnuts one by one, and raised a low fire to fry the chestnuts.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the sweet smell wafted out of the stove, and Nan Anwan sniffed.
"Master, how many years have you not used this stove room? But it's too much gray ......, since you live here, why don't you use the stove room, could it be that you are really the immortal who cultivates? Only drink rain and dew? Before Nan Anwan could retract his thoughts, Ruyi's slightly curious children's voice came to him.
"I rarely use the stove ......," Nan Anwan whispered.
"Na, this is the fruit, you taste it, this is called chestnut, it's delicious, I'll pick the rest in a few days, you eat it first! I went home. Ruyi said and handed over the wooden box in his hand.
It was found in the stove room, washed and used to hold chestnuts.
"Let Little Five and Little Six send you!" Nan Anwan nodded and reached out to take the wooden box.
Ruyi noticed that his fingers were slender and white, with distinct bone joints, like a beautiful work of art made of cold jade, slightly cold, as if there was no temperature, which was chilling.
Ruyi withdrew his eyes and left.
The little five and six stood outside the arch and waited for themselves, Ruyi rode lightly on the back of the little five, the little five feet were very fast, and it was half the way in a short time, Ruyi transferred to the little six, and continued to walk through the Longfei Mountain.
Ruyi was also well-informed in his previous life, but he had never ridden a wolf, and he didn't even think that he would ride on the back of a wolf one day.
When Xiao Liu sent Ruyi out of Longfei Mountain, the sky was already dark, Ruyi patted Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu's head, and walked home without looking back.
Another day has passed, Xu is because he ate a full meal last night, Daddy Yu has gotten better today, people look a lot more energetic, Ruyan has already returned, the family is talking in the house, and when they see Ruyi coming back, they are all happy.
Another little girl who is so big doesn't dare to go to the town, but she is afraid that this girl from her own family is bold, and adults don't dare to do things, but she is not afraid at all, saying that she has no divine protection, not the reincarnation of a god in the sky, and Liu himself does not believe it.
When Ruyi entered the house, he smelled a smell of meat, and his stomach, which had not eaten for most of the day, was noisy at the moment.
When Liu heard Ruyi's stomach, he quickly scooped up half a bowl of broth and handed it to her, and Ruyi poured it into his stomach in one go, so that he felt better.
Xu is today during the day, Liu taught the two boys, at this time Dabao Xiaobao refused to look at Ruyi at all, and played with his head on the side.
Yesterday, Hao Yanzi invited Ruyan to sleep together, and as soon as it got dark, Ruyan went to Hao's house.
The family rested early and didn't mention it.
At noon on the second day, Ruyi took Ruyan into the mountain again, cut some trees at the edge of the mountain, tore off the skin, and worked for most of the day, until dusk the brothers and sisters finished their work, and went to the Longfei River with the torn bark, found a secret place, pulled the bark into a ball, threw it into the river, and made a good note that the brothers and sisters went home.
It was twilight again, and Ruyi rested after eating porridge.
After a dreamless night, the sour body got a short rest, and became comfortable and refreshing.
Today, I still have to go into the mountain, and Ruyi is going to find a place with good soil quality to dig a kiln, so that it can be used for charcoal burning in the future, but the location of this charcoal-burning earthen kiln is very important, and I am going to use it all day today to do this.
The location of the kiln hole should be slightly flat, and it is advisable to ventilate and dry the place. And try to choose a place close to the water source as much as possible.
After breakfast, Ruyi went into the mountain, and Ruyan followed.
The charcoal burning that Ruyi learned in his previous life was to first choose a site to dig a kiln hole, and then cut trees and sawed wood, load the kiln, burn the kiln, seal the kiln and produce charcoal.
The location of the kiln hole should be selected in a slightly flat place on the back of the gang, and it is advisable to ventilate and dry the place.
The whole kiln hole is in the shape of a large half circle, first use a hoe to draw a rough outline, and then dig out the sand, gravel and soil in the circle. The kiln was about five and a half feet high and about six feet wide, and there were three or four chimney holes and a fire-watching eye on the edges.
So the earthen kiln is dug up, and then the next step is to start cutting down trees, a charcoal kiln arranges seven or eight strong laborers, everyone is scattered, each hand holds a shiny and sharp long-handled axe, in the steep mountainside slope, it is best to find a hard tree as the best, the mouth of the bowl can be stout, too big or too small is not appropriate, swing the axe to cut.
As the axe rises and falls, the trees fall to the ground, and then the heads are decapitated, leaving only the main trunk.
According to the measured size in the kiln, the middle section is about five feet long, and the other positions are slightly changed, and then the bare wood section without branches and leaves is dragged to the kiln.
Then the kiln is installed, and the tree segments are vertical, from the inside to the outside, arranged in the kiln hole according to a certain level of procedure.
Place a flammable piece of wood containing pine resin at the ignition opening. Then cover a thick layer of firewood and grass at the end of the arranged wooden section, and then cover the yellow mud with high viscosity on the firewood grass, to have a certain thickness, first step on it with your feet, and then keep beating it with a long wooden stick until the yellow mud is smooth and shiny, which is the top of the kiln, which is equivalent to the roof tile.
As long as the kiln is installed, the next step is relatively simple and less strenuous .
Ruyi participated in his childhood in his previous life, and he only remembers a rough idea, and many details still need to be considered.
If you want to burn a kiln first, and then take the sample to sell, observe the market reaction, you can first collect some orders, and then produce according to the order, and then say that you will not be able to build a few kilns, and hire some villagers to help.
If the market response is good, there will be no problem, at least there will be no shortage of money in a short period of time, and in the spring of next year, I will build a few spacious and bright houses at home, and the problem of food, clothing and housing will definitely be solved.
Dabao and Ruyan can also go to school, and everything is on the right track.
Ruyi imagined a better life in the future, and was quite happy, this family with nothing became everything better through his own hands, and he was full of a sense of achievement.
In the early spring, no charcoal is burned and papermaking begins, which is good regardless of the season.
Ruyan looked at Ruyi's happy face, and was a little puzzled, he was becoming more and more unpredictable about what was going on in his precious sister's brain, and he didn't know what the use of making so much bark in the river was yesterday.
