Chapter 66: Sun Xiaobei loses
Everyone waited for Jiang Jiang to be served before the banquet began, although it was just an ordinary dinner, but the etiquette was observed.
Only Lao Su couldn't wait to grab a fat pig's trotter and gnaw it, and when he saw Jiang Jiang enter the house, he raised the pig's trotter and said to her: "Your craftsmanship is really good, now in Ling Tiancheng, I only recognize you as a character!" ”
"Lao Su, don't say that, I still want face!" Jiang Jiang walked over with a smile: "I've tired you today, eat more, you're welcome!" ”
Sun Xiaobei almost rolled his eyes off on the side, this is obviously a guy who cheats and cheats, Jiang Jiang is so smart, why can't he see it?
Such a delicious pig's trotter is so cheap for him, and the more I think about it, the more angry I become.
Lao Su seemed to feel his hostile gaze, and turned his head casually, wanting to look at him.
Sun Xiaobei was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, he himself felt that this was not a big husband, but he didn't know why he was afraid of Lao Su looking at each other, probably because Lao Su's eyes were too weird, what if he really had some magic skills, and after looking at him, he was also confused? There has to be a sober person.
Lao Su is tall and big, his shoulders are half wider than ordinary people, and he is not ambiguous when he eats. Yesterday's lo-mei marinated water, I ate eight bowls in one go, and today's braised pork trotters ate seven or eight in one go, and then drank two large bowls of winter melon and ball soup.
The two plasterers finished eating, said a simple goodbye to Jiang Jiang and went home, they lived on this street, not far apart, and Jiang Jiang only sent them to the door.
Sun Xiaobei and Gou'er came out to light the fire for Lian'er and them, and Jiang Jiang told them not to burn too much, and to be careful that the fire bursts.
At this time, Lao Su was already full of wine and food, and burped to lie down in the corner of the hall, but after a while, he began to snore loudly.
Lian'er and the others also had a simple dinner, put away the dishes and chopsticks, people walked back and forth, and sometimes even touched Lao Su's clothes, but he ignored them and slept in a mess.
That night, Jiang Jiang and several of them took turns to burn the stove, and by the dawn of the next day, the green smoke had turned into white smoke, and it no longer choked people to tears.
Sun Xiaobei wondered when he was burning the stove, how could one stove be able to manage four stoves? And the fire is much stronger than when the single stove is burned.
Jiang Jiang got up in the morning and saw that the stove had been half burned, so he looked around the stove and was very satisfied.
When the stove was half-dry, it was time to put the pot on it, and the four large pots before were placed on the four large stoves, and the four smaller iron pots were bought from the blacksmith shop next to it.
After the iron pot is installed, water will naturally be put in the pot, and it is impossible to dry boil.
As if discovering a new world, Sun Xiaobei pointed to two of the pots and said, "There is a problem with this stove, why is the water in these two pots boiling slowly?" The others had already been opened, but they had just begun to ring. ”
"I took it into account when I built the stove," Lao Su yawned and walked out of the back room, and explained to Sun Xiaobei: "These two holes are specially arranged, because the weather will be cold in a few days, and after the lo-mei is cooked, it will only take a while to get cold and eat these two pots are to pick up the boiled lo-mei and put it here, which can play a role in keeping warm. ”
"But it's okay when it's cold, and you don't need them when it's hot, isn't it a waste?" Sun Xiaobei said unwillingly.
"It's also simple," Lao Su walked to the other side of the stove, this side was the side of the few holes left before, Lao Su enlarged the holes corresponding to the two pots that were heating slowly, and soon, the water in this pot also boiled.
"The joint is on this vent, the vent is hot, the pot will heat quickly, the vent is smaller, the pot will naturally heat slowly, you can adjust this according to the change of the weather."
Sun Xiaobei really has nothing to say now.
This Dalian stove makes the greatest use of the limited space, if it is a few single stoves, then the place in front of Widow Mu's house is absolutely not enough, but such a stove is more than enough.
And because it is a connected stove, it is relatively very fuel-saving and will not cause unnecessary waste.
And in the past, when there was a single stove, the person in charge of the fire would be very busy. Nowadays, it has been changed to such a continuous stove, and it is no problem for one person to take care of two stoves that are close to each other.
"Now you're convinced?" Jiang Jiang walked over and looked at Sun Xiaobei with a narrow face.
"Why do you believe he can do it?" Why did Jiang Jiang trust Lao Su very much from the beginning.
"Maybe it's intuition!" Jiang Jiang and Sun Xiaobei and Thin Mud, she couldn't tell him that there seemed to be a similar kind of stove in her original memory, about what was the Seven Star Stove, but she was also hearsay and hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
But from this, it can be seen that this form of continuous stove is feasible.
"Hmph, I don't believe your instincts work!" Sun Xiaobei didn't buy it, he felt that Jiang Jiang must have something to hide from him, which made him very unhappy.
"Don't forget to fetch water and wash your feet at night!" Jiang Jiang reminded Sun Xiaobei: "If you are willing to gamble, you must accept defeat!" ”
Sun Xiaobei suddenly felt that the world was so dark.
But he also knew that it was necessary to be willing to gamble and lose, and he still had this courage, so at night, he deliberately boiled a pot of boiling water and put it in the foot-washing bucket, mixed it with an appropriate amount of cold water, and gave Lao Suti to wash his feet.
Lao Su still had such an indifferent attitude, and he was not more proud because of this, which made Sun Xiaobei's heart feel a lot better.
"Maybe he's really not a bad guy!" Sun Xiaobei thought in his heart: "Anyway, the stove he built is really easy to use, and it saves us a lot of trouble." But he also ate a lot of us, and I don't need to thank him much. ”
"Alas! It's been a few months since I've been in Ling Tiancheng, but I've never seen even a single of the four strange men. Sun Xiaobei looked at the starry sky and sighed: "If I have the opportunity, I must go to meet the beggar boy, he is the person I admire the most so far!" ”
"Why do you admire him?" After washing his feet, Lao Su stood in front of the door and asked Sun Xiaobei lazily.
"Because he is a hero, he is a hero, he scattered all his wealth to be a beggar, even if he has money, he will give it to the beggars around him, and he never leaves any money on his body, free and easy, just like a fairy." Sun Xiaobei said yearningly.
"That's just a beggar, like thousands of beggars in the world, there is nothing outstanding." Lao Su said: "You shouldn't worship him, he has nothing to worship." ”
"You're such a nuisance!" Sun Xiao was so angry that he really wanted to throw a stone at him.
