Yan Lao Er consciously had completely understood the charcoal burning method on the fire on the bamboo slips, but when it came to actual operation, it was inevitable that he would be in a hurry.

According to the three bamboo slips, dig eight ventilation holes below, and when the flame at the top burns, pay attention to the holes below, see which one has a fire, and plug it with soil.

In fact, the first problem was the position on the mound, which was roasted by the fire and cracked, and the cracks were getting bigger and bigger.

The stick figures drawn with pen and ink on the bamboo slips can be imagined to be clear, so that you can see a rough idea, and the painter is already a painter.

I can't understand it, Yan Lao Er can only use the stupidest way to continue to paste into the mud.

If you don't paste it up, you can't do it, and if it cracks again, won't this mound of dirt collapse?

The Qi brothers originally felt out of tune, but after Yan Lao Er took out a roll of bamboo slips, the three brothers worked silently, pointing to the east and not to the west.

Yan Laoer, who was holding a bamboo slip and staring at his eyebrows, didn't feel it.

All of a sudden, they had an unusual feeling of being involved in something big.

waited until Yan Lao Er said, and saw the firelight in the hole below, and the sky was already completely dark.

The eight holes below were blocked one after another, and the large holes at the top were also covered tightly with river mud.

Yan Lao Er dragged the Qi brothers who were guarding here to leave.

Qi Da was still insisting, and Qi Si, who was more attentive among the three brothers, thought of something, and helped drag his brother and his brother, and together with Yan Laoer, pulled the two away.

"Fourth brother, what are you dragging me for, although there is no one here, but in case there is that hairy past to make trouble, no, I still go and watch." Qi Wu decided to go over by himself, Yan Lao Er was probably tired and panicked, so he didn't call him, he really burned charcoal, and he carried it back by himself, yes, he had to bring two bags.

Qi Da didn't say anything, and supported the fifth brother with practical actions.

"Big brother, fifth brother, what did you two ask me to say, I didn't see the bamboo book that Yan Lao Er took out, the charcoal was burned according to the method on the bamboo book, and each family has a skill that is passed down by word of mouth and can be written in the book......

Think about it, is it old and precious, old and valuable?

It doesn't matter in the front, maybe the key is in the back, Yan Lao Er is not easy to say, don't let us follow...... Why are you so unenlightened? Qi Si complained.

It caused his arm to be sore.

"Huh?" Qi Wu was dumbfounded, "Is that the case?" ”

He patted his thigh, looking like he understood: "Yes, my master's wooden drawing has always been a treasure, and I don't let us look at it, saying that it will be passed on to him in the future." ”

Qi Wu knew that he was stupid and slow to learn, and it was not his turn to do such a good thing as providing for the old age for his master, so he would be satisfied if he could take a few sneaky glances and gain a long insight.

Qi Da kept nodding honestly: "That can't go." ”

Qi Si pretended to be smart: "Not only can't you pass, but you have to stop others from going over to watch the excitement." ”

Yan Lao Er didn't know that the Qi brothers were doing the right thing.

He was reporting to his brother and was going to see the fire.

"Where did you learn how to make charcoal?" Yan Huaiwen asked.

"Start by chance, start by chance." Yan Lao Er didn't plan to show Zhu Jian 3 to Lao Yan, so as not to explain unclearly in the future, why there were so many volumes one after another......

"Since you want to do it, try it." Yan Huaiwen agreed.

Because the reason given by Yan Lao Er was very strong, after he thought of the north, he would sell charcoal to make money to support his family.

Calculating the time, they walked to Guanzhou, just when the weather turned cold.

If it can be fired, there is a lot to be done in selling charcoal.

After Yan Lao Er left, Li Xuemei counted the time and found the uncle, saying that she was worried about her husband, and she hadn't come back at this time, so she was afraid that she was going to spend the night there? She packed some things and planned to send them over.

It's still embarrassing to say that Yan Lao Er has worked hard in recent days, and she wants to take advantage of leaving the team to make some food for Yan Lao Er and make up for it.

There are a lot of things, and I want to lead the cattle over, and by the way, wait for the charcoal to be burned, and then let the cattle come back.

Yan Huaiwen has nothing to do, and he also very considerately told his younger brothers and sisters to pay more attention to their bodies, and there is no need to be frugal in eating with them, and the implication is to let her open a small stove for herself.

……

Yan Lao Er waited halfway, saw the outline of the cow from a distance, and grinned.

greeted him attentively and led the way with a smile.

"It's not far ahead."

When he arrived at the charcoal burning place, Yan Lao Er touched the mound of soil, and it was still hot.

He rubbed his hands, "The first time, I don't know if I can do it." ”

Li Xuemei brought a small mat, spread it on the ground, and took off the carbon cylinder tied to Sanbao's body.

"If you don't burn it, you will know if you try it, it's okay if you don't succeed once, two or three times, and it will always work out if you slowly explore." Li Xuemei spread out a large bag of straw sandals again.

"There's thirty-seven pairs here, exactly half.

You don't know how fast their hands are, but this is still removed from the wear of each family these days, and our people in this village now have these straw sandals on their feet...... Except for our big brother. ”

"Big brother is not used to it, I dress it very well, cool and light, but daughter-in-law, your skills need to be strengthened, look, the toes are going to be exposed again." Yan Lao Er raised his big foot and showed it to Li Xuemei.

Li Xuemei looked at it, and casually plucked a few from the grass next to her, and began to wear them around, mending them in a few strokes.

It doesn't hurt if it's not good-looking, just make up for it.

Wait until Yan Lao Er estimates that it is about the same, and picks up the mound.

The results of the first charcoal burning appeared in front of the eyes of the three people.

Yan Yu took a small stick and pulled it, "Why is it that half of it is burned." ”

The small black pile was a lot less than the wood that was put in.

Charcoal burning is like this, there must be losses, but depending on the technology, some are more and some are less.

Yan Lao Er looked at it carefully, and said uncertainly: "These few sticks that haven't been burned are like a few on the side, because there is mud and they haven't burned?"

In the middle, these burned too much, and they all turned to ashes......"

"The fire burns unevenly." Li Xuemei concluded: "There must be something wrong. ”

The lack of charcoal is expected, and the uneven burning of wood is a technical problem.

"The first time is already good, Dad, I'm optimistic about you, no one can succeed casually." Yan Yu waved her little fist to cheer her father up.

Yan Laoer: "Hehe, don't say it, charcoal burning is quite interesting, next time my father will take you along." ”

Yan Yu's little head was like pounding garlic.

Li Xuemei picked the one that didn't burn well, stuffed it into a carbon cylinder, put a handful of hay, didn't need to light the fire, just blew a few times, and smoke began to float up.

Yan Lao Er hurriedly blew vigorously, quickly folded a few small wooden sticks and filled them in, and the fire gradually brightened.

Yan Yu put the small clay pot filled with water on it.

A family of three took a look at each other, and the cooperation was good.

Look at each other and smile.
