Volume 1 Chapter 15 Occasional Recipe

It is true that young people have flexible brains and many ideas.

After cutting firewood for a few days, Li Tian accidentally discovered a method that can quickly chop large pieces of firewood, which can be called time-saving and labor-saving.

Time goes back a little earlier.

One day, Li Tian finally completed the day's tasks.

Li Tian thought about resting for a while first, anyway, the firewood had already been chopped, so there was no need to worry, just scatter it first, wait for a while, and then he would clean it up.

In fact, at this time, Li Tian had been chopping firewood for a long time, and wielding an axe to chop firewood was not an easy task in itself. Sweating is a common occurrence.

There were also sawdust from the wood chips that flew when chopping wood, and the dust brought up by the wood blocks on the ground, which made his mouth more and more dry.

Now that he had finished chopping firewood, he wanted to take a rag, dip it in some warm water, and wipe his face well.

Drink a large cup of tea to get rid of the heat on your body.

Speaking of which, I have to mention a little bit.

I have to say that Li Tian has a habit, which is very good.

That is, whenever he was busy with work and sweating profusely, he never used cold water to wash. Even in the hottest summer, he won't use too cold water after exercising.

This is not because Li Tian's body is weak, on the contrary, Li Tian is still very strong.

As for the reason why he didn't use cold water, it was because of a person in the same village whom Li Tian had seen with his own eyes, because he was working in the summer when it was hot, and he was sweating, and after returning home, he had to wash his face with cold water from the well to sweat.

An old man in the village told him that it was not good for his health.

But he didn't listen, and said that the young man was full of firepower.

Laughing, only the older ones use warm water. He also boasted about what to say, the young man slept on a cool kang, and he relied on firepower.

As a result, the first afternoon was washed with cold water, and the night passed, and the next day, the whole face was unconscious, and now the man knew that he was afraid, and he did not dare to go out of the house blindly, crying and begging someone to go to the town to ask for a doctor.

In the words of the old doctor who was invited from the town at the time, this disease is called stroke and facial paralysis.

The cause is that a cold and a heat hurt the meridians, which is an incurable disease.

Once you suffer from this disease, drinking sugar water is no longer sweet, you can't taste the food you eat, you can't raise the corners of your mouth if you want to smile, you can only hang your face all day long, and you look very serious.

The treatment method of this disease was also quite strange, and it scared Li Tian, who was still young at the time, half to death.

Seeing that the old doctor used a silver needle to stimulate the facial acupuncture points of the person who had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, the silver needle pierced the man's face, and the dense needles pierced the ground like a hedgehog.

The man's face moved, and the silver needle also moved, and Li Tian saw this scene at that time.

Xiao Li Tian had nightmares for several days at that time, so he was not so scared.

It took a month to cure the person after taking medicine and then pricking needles, and since then, Li Tian has never scrubbed with cold water after sweating.

After this incident, the people in the village have learned a lesson, and no one will go directly to get cold water to wash after being busy and sweating.

Moreover, since this incident, there has indeed been no recurrence of this disease in the village.

Let's go back to the day Li Tian discovered the method.

Li Tian panted and threw the axe aside. When I turned around, I went to the kitchen to scoop water to drink, and when I came back, I saw it and smiled bitterly.

I saw that the axe that was thrown out casually was impartially stuck in a wooden pier, and it happened to be the bladed side down.

It may be that with this strength, Li Tian didn't lift the axe with all his strength, and he couldn't shake it, and the axe was completely stuck.

There was no way, Li Tian could only pick up a big log, thinking about smashing the axe loose from the side, as long as the card was not so tight, the axe could be taken down.

The idea is good, but it is not easy to realize it at all, and the big wood is smashed down again and again, and the axe is not only not loosened, but embedded deeper and deeper.

This time the weather is not light, after all, he is tired for a day, and he is eager to rest.

Now seeing that he can go back to the dormitory to rest after cleaning up, but such a thing happened, Li Tian couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

I knocked the big wood twice harder, but it still didn't work.

Li Tian was a little annoyed and went to the storage room of the restaurant to borrow a sledgehammer.

The sledgehammer was raised high and fell. The hammer fell and the axe slashed, and the wooden pier broke with a creak.

Look at the wooden pier that was split in half, which it was impossible to split like this with an axe before.

Suddenly, a thought appeared in Li Tian's mind, if he chopped wood like this, would it save time and effort?

Li Tian said that he would do it, and moved out all the firewood that had been put aside a few days ago and was more difficult to chop from the corner.

However, this time, it did not go well, and the first step was difficult to achieve.

The axe struck the wood, the axe could not stand, and it would be crooked when touched, and once after smashing the hammer, the axe bounced out directly, almost injuring Li Tian himself.

Gradually, Li Tian became a little discouraged, and felt that when he first hit the wooden pier, he should have hit it crookedly. That time, the axe stood firmly, and it couldn't be taken down, and the next few times the axe couldn't stand up.

How can you hold the axe?

It really made Li Tian think of a way.

On each hard-to-chop wooden pier, use a saw to create a small slit first, not too deep, as long as the blade is just right to stand upright.

At this time, use another small axe to smash it a few times to fix the axe on the wooden pier.

The axe in the restaurant is a blade on one side and a square hammer on the other.

So, this is also very easy to achieve, holding the axe stuck on the wooden pier with the left hand, and smacking the back of the previous axe with the right hand. It doesn't take much effort and time to get the axe on the wooden pier firmly in place.

Then, hit the back of the axe with a sledgehammer.

It worked!

The pier also split in half.

Li Tian excitedly thought that if he followed this method to chop firewood, he could save at least an hour every day. It's so refreshing.

Later, Li Tian made some improvements, because axes have handles, but the axe that splits on the wooden pier has a grip that is very obstructive.

Li Tian directly removed the grip of the axe, leaving only the iron part of the head, which was a lot more convenient.

Li Tian did not tell others about this method, taught the apprentices, and starved the master to death.

Maybe Lao Zhangtou also knows this method, otherwise why does Lao Zhangtou look very leisurely every day.

Only by making others feel that this job is not easy to do and others are unwilling to do it, can Li Tian use this method to easily complete the day's work.

In the eyes of others, they all felt that it was because Li Tian was a little familiar with the working mode of the firewood room and had strong hands-on ability, so after only a few days, he was already able to spare some time when the tasks of the day were completed.
