Yan Yu took out the sketch he had drawn, and even said with a gesture, Qi Wu listened carefully and couldn't help nodding.

Qi Si asked, "Let's not catch the car in the future?" Pull these climbing plows? ”

"Yes, after a while, the tiger will be like a phoenix, the snow is all over the ground, and it is frozen again in a hurry, and the car with wheels is not as convenient as the plow, and the iron bar is added underneath, and the snow and ice are sliding fast." Yan Yu looked yearning.

"If it can be used alone, or it can be connected together like our previous wheeled vehicles, how much animal power is needed in front to pull it?" Qi Wu asked.

He pondered that it was not difficult to climb the plough itself, that is, a few large planks, the front was cut at an angle, and two iron bars were breaded under it, and he was worried that people and things would swing out, so he added guardrails on the three sides of the front and both sides.

But the livestock frame in front of him was obviously different from that used by wheeled carts, and he was a little unsure.

It's better to pull the ...... with a dog Deer too......

Yan Yu said silently in his heart.

However, she could only think about these thoughts.

"It's certainly easier to pull a plow than a cart, and you don't need so many donkeys and mules." Yan Yu tried to recall: "Fifth Uncle Qi, why don't you make a small one for me first, let Gou Zhu pull me, you can see Xu and understand." ”

Qi Wu immediately went to the courtyard to find materials.

It was already dark outside, and it was impossible to see it really, so Qi Wu simply moved the planks and tools into the house.

With Qi Si helping from the side, the single-person version of the climbing plow soon took shape.

Mrs. Qi took her two daughters to watch from the side, and from time to time she told Mrs. Qi what the plow had done.

Gou tilted his head and watched quietly from the side, until Yan Yu beckoned it over and put a rope on it.

Qi Wu saw the problem.

"The livestock pulling the cart in front will be better with even numbers, only one will pull it, and it is easy to crook to both sides if it can't go straight." He thought for a moment and said, "Or maybe the plow in the back is heavier." ”

Yan Yu said continuously: "Yes, yes, that's what it means, Fifth Uncle Qi, the guardrail is on three sides, and it's not bad for the back, let's get it on all sides, you hit higher in the back, and the person stands here with both hands, so stable, if you don't put anything, you will sit in the front, if you put something, you will stand in the back, so this bottom plate will leave some space in the back and can stand still." ”

Qi Wu began to revise again, trying to let Gou live in the courtyard and pull it.

The sound of the bottom of the climbing plow rubbing against the ground is not small, and there will be obvious ups and downs in uneven places.

Qi Wu squatted there and watched for a while, and asked Qi Si to work with him to push all the snow on the ground to one place......

The final style is to suspend the bottom board, supported by two wooden planks like skis below, the guardrail in front is low, gradually increasing in a slope shape, and the height of the guardrail behind is just right for Yan Yu to support.

Qi Si ran to the sand blacksmith and came back soon with two iron bars.

Attach it to the snowboard underneath.

The first generation of the one-man plow was completed.

Yan Yu was satisfied and took it home.

……

On the second day, before she could go out, Mrs. Qi came, and she used hemp rope and cloth strips to make a suitable traction rope for Gou Zhu.

I put one set on a dog and it is just right.

Yan Yu didn't care about eating breakfast, so he was fully armed and happily sat on the climbing plow.

"Hold on, go!"

The dog-pulled climbing plow has finally come true!

The snow kept falling, and the eyes were covered in snow.

The people of Xiao'an Village vaguely heard Xiao Er's cheerful shout from the wind: "Stop, run, haha, hurry up!" ”

The children were the first to react and ran out to see.

I saw Xiao Er wrapping herself into a ball, sitting on a small wooden cart, being pulled by her dog, and running back and forth in the village.

When Xiao Er roared past them, the children were all envious.

"Dad, mother, please, let's have a dog! I can eat less and save the ration to feed it. ”

"Dad, didn't you say that I should learn from Xiao Er, Xiao Er has a dog, you can buy me one too!"

……

"Mother, I want a dog, I want a dog, I want a big dog!" The little dog said to Cui Niangzi with a serious expression.

Cui Niangzi: "What kind of dog do you want, I will see the climbing plow, go back and ask your father to find some wood to go to Qi's house to make one, you two sit and pull one is just right, if you want to sit ...... Just let your daddy! ”

Cui Langzhong: ......

A few combinations pop up in my head:

The big dog pulls the small dog.

The puppy pulls the big dog.

The father of the two dogs pulls the big and small dogs.

Uh, maybe you can also pull the dog daddy?!

……

"Little Er, go home for dinner!" The eldest girl looked at the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as her sister approached, she mustered up all her strength and shouted.

"Alas!" Yan Yu agreed, and said to the dog: "Stop, let's go home." ”

It made a big circle and turned around, gradually slowing down, and when it ran into the yard, the plow had stopped steadily.

Yan Yu first removed the traction rope that was holding his body.

Gou Zhu was immediately free, and when he walked far, he began to throw the snow off his body.

Yan Yu patted himself as he walked towards the kitchen.

"Mother, I'll go to the charcoal field after eating." She pulled the porridge in the bowl and sandwiched the pickles in front of her, woo, it's good to eat.

Syllable!

The egg slammed on the table, standing firmly, and the two small hands nimbly peeled off the shell.

Ahh

Two more bites, and a boiled egg is eliminated.

Snoring, the porridge must follow, mixed together and swallowed on the lower stomach.

For a simple breakfast, Yan Yu also ate deliciously.

Li Xuemei couldn't help but drink half a bowl of porridge.

The eldest girl thought silently, it was better for the younger two to be at home, and the aunt could eat two more bites at every meal.

"Go, talk to your Uncle Qi and them, we have already collected wood outside, don't cut the wood yourself, just burning charcoal will not be busy, and there is a vigil there at night, don't be reluctant to burn charcoal, the province can't save from yourself, the house in the forest is not a serious house, if you don't keep warm, the charcoal fire can't be supplied anymore, and people will freeze." Li Xuemei also can't do anything about the three brothers of the Qi family, she can't get by, the brothers of the Qi family come back late every day, let the eldest lady Qi bring them a message, this brother always forgets after hearing it.

"Hehe, mother, you just look at me."

Yan Yu finished eating quickly, and the dog pulled the plow and set out again.

This time she didn't sit, but stood in the back, leaning on the guardrail.

The hum that is not very in tune is online again: "The more fierce the wind, the more my heart ~~~~~~"

……

When Yan Yu arrived, Fourth Uncle Qi and Fifth Uncle Qi had already started work.

The two men put the wood neatly into the mound, and when all the mounds were filled, they started to light the fire.

Uncle Qi made up for sleep in the wooden house they built.

There is only a wooden bed and a stove in the wooden house, which are used for heating and boiling water, and there is nothing on the side, which is very simple.

After Yan Yu arrived, he went straight to the place where the tools were placed.

Pick up the axe and get to work.

Crack open the thick wood, which is easier to burn into charcoal.

She has been exposed anyway, and the whole village knows that she has great strength, and she can be used openly from now on.

"Little Er, what are you doing? Forgot to grind your hands last time? Qi Da heard the movement and came out to check, and saw Xiao Er down a piece of wood, a piece of wood.

It was very easy, but Qi Da couldn't let her continue to do it.

Their brothers are used to this strength, and Xiao Er also has it, so he was not surprised, and accepted it quickly, but Xiao Er is still different from them, this child does not have calluses on his hands, and his hands will grind if he works more.

So they didn't want her to do it.

There are them on the left and right, so there is no need for the child to stretch out his hand.

"Uncle Qi, the pile of wood is older, more than when I left, I look uncomfortable, I can clear it." Yan Yu kept moving, not to mention, just repeating an action, it was quite addictive.

"If you want to look uncomfortable, let's clear it, give the axe to Uncle Qi, I'll come." Qi Da smiled innocently.

"Uncle Qi, we collect other people's wood every day, why do we still cut down trees ourselves? It's already very tiring to burn so many piles of charcoal, can we not cut it ourselves? Yan Yu cracked another one, paused for a moment, and asked with an axe.

Qi Da said very seriously: "Xiao Er, we need copper plates for other people's money, we don't spend money to cut down trees ourselves, your fourth uncle Qi counts, you can earn more in this way." ”

Yan Yu: ......

Always ignores Fourth Uncle Qi because of his appearance, he is also a guy who can settle simple accounts.

"That's not how the accounts are calculated, Uncle Qi, my mother said that she has told you several times, you can't work day and night like this, and your body can't bear it." She looked melancholy: "Since you don't listen, we are a partnership business, in the future, I can only do as much as you do, we have money to earn together, and we have work to do together, well, that's it, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, start today." ”

After Yan Yu finished speaking, he began to crack wood again.

Holding on to the perfect fit, he knocked the wood down, pulled it forward with his paws, and rolled it to her.

"What's the line? Miss! "Qi Da can't say anything else, so he feels that this is wrong." Fourth, fifth, you two come here. ”

Qi 4 and Qi 5 ran over.

"What's wrong, big brother?"

Qi is stupid and can't learn the words of Xiao Er.

Yan Yu kindly repeated it.

Qi Si and Qi Wu were also dumbfounded.

How can this work? How can Xiao Er follow them to work.

Let my mother know, I have to pump them with the soles of my shoes......

"Xiao Er, this can't work, you can't do it." Qi Wudao.

Yan Yu worked without squeaking.

Qi Si stayed with her for a longer time, and used up his brain cells before he held back a sentence: "Xiao Er, what do you say we should do." ”

Yan Yu: That's right!

That's it.

"Uncle Qi, Fourth Uncle Qi, Fifth Uncle Qi, our two families are trading together, so we have to discuss with the two families, do you think this is the reason?" Yan Yu asked.

The three brothers of the Qi family nodded hurriedly.

Yan Yu made a small face and said solemnly: "My father said when he was at home, let you not stay up like this, why don't you say it as soon as he leaves?" You don't listen to what my mother said, although I am small, but my uncle said, when he and his father are not there, I should take care of the family affairs, today we will talk about it well, what should we do in the future as a charcoal burner. ”

As soon as the Qi brothers heard Xiao Er say that her father was her uncle, they had already shrunk their necks.

"I think so, in the future, not only in the tiger, but also in Gu Feng's side, there will be a lot of firewood and wood collected from these two places, and our mounds will not be added to the current amount, and if we can burn these woods, it will be enough for us to earn this winter."

The reason why Yan Yu said this was because she had consulted her uncle.

There is a definite amount of work assigned by the officials, and once it is completed, or because of the weather, it can no longer be continued, and the people can only seek other ways to make money.

The colder the weather, the better her charcoal business will be.

Not only are there more people buying charcoal, but more and more people are supplying wood.

Beirong snatched the grain from the tiger, and the people couldn't stop if they wanted to live.

They have to stock up on grain, firewood, and all kinds of supplies to survive this winter.

So, they need money.

And this year is colder than usual, and correspondingly, they can only earn more.

Yan Yu finally concluded: "...... As much wood as you collect, burn as much charcoal as you want, these days I have nothing to do in the charcoal field, calculate a number, in the future, we will burn so many piles every day, and rest after burning.

And this little cabin has to be cleaned up, and when the snow stops and the sun comes out, plaster it so that it doesn't leak on all sides......"

Qi Da and the three listened honestly, although they were very reluctant in their hearts, but they really couldn't take the second child.

If it's not as she wants, she will stay here and work, and she can only listen to her.

……

Li Xuemei squinted her eyes with a smile when she heard Yan Yu finish her method.

Honest people are easy to make mistakes, and she really has to play tricks like this.

You're going to have to do the work, okay, let's do it together.

Yan Yu's mouth kept chattering: "...... You can't do nothing in the winter, just cut down trees and burn wood to burn charcoal, it's right to make money, but you can't hang yourself on a tree! I was still thinking about taking Fourth Uncle Qi to Beirong to grab cattle and sheep, but I was tied up in the charcoal field, so why should I go......"

Belch...... She reacted and turned her head in slow motion to see her mother's face.

Li Xuemei restrained her smile, stared at her for a while, and asked softly: "Dabao, what did you just say, my mother didn't hear clearly." ”

Yan Yu: ......

If you really didn't hear it clearly, why didn't you suddenly stop laughing, it's so scary!

"What, mother, aren't you hungry for beef? My father's sauced beef, that's a must-have hard dish for the New Year! Beef, it shrinks as soon as it is cooked, so the boss is a piece, and there is a small ball left after the sauce is finished. ”

"Yan Yu!" Li Xuemei called her name expressionlessly.

Yan Yu: Report to Mr. Li, I'm here!

"Mother, just ...... Beirong can come over the mountain, we can too, don't you say? They robbed us of food, why can't I worry about their cattle and sheep, and besides, I won't go alone, Sanbao, donkey, Gou, plus my fourth uncle Qi, we cooperate, that is God blocking and killing God, Buddha blocking and killing Buddha......

No, no, no, we don't fight and kill, grumpy!

I secretly ran over and dragged one end back to be one head.

Mother, you have to believe me, your daughter will not risk herself, she must be sure to rush forward, hehe......"

Yan Yu was suddenly stunned.

The next moment, the whole little face came alive.

The voices are all octaves higher:

"Oh my God! ! Our platform is here again! Aha! What time is it today? Yes, September 19, the forecast is 0 o'clock tonight, hey young, this familiar time, familiar countdown, why does it look so kind!

September 20, what is the corresponding number? ”

Yan Yu hurriedly went through the calendar made by her mother.

Li Xuemei reminded: "Double Eleven." ”
