Chapter 19 Make Your Own Bricks
Gu Lan didn't give up, but went to the kiln to ask, and the steward heard that someone wanted to buy green bricks, so he happily came out to take a look, only Gu Lan was a girl dressed in tatters, and she was a little impatient.
Glancing up and down at Gu Lan's dress, she said in disbelief: "It's you, a little girl, who wants to buy bricks?" ”
Gu Lan didn't take his attitude to heart, and said his request without humility or arrogance.
She needed about thirty bricks, and if there was a bad quality that burned out, it would be better to sell it to her at a discount.
The person in charge snorted coldly and waved his hand to chase her: "Let's go, let your family come here!" This is not the place where you can come with a little kid! Our kiln is the best in a radius of ten miles, how can there be any inferior products that burn out? What's more, who buys bricks for a few pieces? ”
I can't even get the money back to open the stove!
Gu Lan was ruthlessly driven out of the kiln.
She stood on the street and gave up the idea of buying green bricks.
It's a big deal to make your own bricks! What's so hard about this!
As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.
Gu Lan will never have only one plan to do things, if Plan A doesn't work, then implement Plan B.
It's just that compared to the green bricks you bought, making bricks by yourself will indeed be a lot of trouble.
If you can't buy bricks, you can't come for nothing, Gu Lan walked all over the market, shopped around, and finally bought three catties of salt, three catties of fat pork, half a foot of cloth, and gritted her teeth and bought three meatloafs, with only seven cents left on her body.
Gathering with the villagers, seeing that Gu Lan was carrying so many things in her hands, the eyes of the villagers couldn't open them.
"Yo, why is Lan Lan so rich?"
"So much pork, have you eaten it all?"
"Otherwise, it's a child, or it won't live, if this pig's head is replaced with brown rice, how can it be full!"
"That's it!"
Gu Lan had a smile on her face, but she didn't refute it, and let the people in the village talk about it.
But in his heart, he was thinking about his own affairs.
She had already figured out how to make the mud bricks, and she needed planks, hammer stones, and that was pretty much enough.
It just so happens that the weather has been very good recently, and the stickiness of yellow mud is relatively large, and it is not much worse than the burned green bricks after drying.
When she arrived in the village, Gu Lan did not stop and went straight to her home.
At the same time, a fat woman put her things home, and she couldn't wait to twist her fat body into the door of Gu's house.
"Mrs. Chen, are you at home?"
She shouted at the top of her voice, the Chen family in the second room was weaving at home, and when she came out and saw that it was her, she smiled and said, "Erniu's family, you came back from the market?" Can I buy what I asked you to buy for me? ”
"Bought it, bought it! You see, this is the latest in the shop! ”
Erniu's daughter-in-law took out a small wooden box from her sleeve, Chen opened it and smelled it, the fragrance was fragrant, and the smile on her face couldn't stop laughing.
"Mrs. Chen, how else to say that Brother Da Jiang likes you so much, you see that we are old, and we have a few children, who still loves to dress up like you, this box of incense powder costs thirty yuan!"
Chen Shi rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about, this is for Xinghua!" She promised Zhao Fusheng, the second child of the Zhao family, that she would get married in the spring next year, and the little girl's family should also dress up and dress herself. ”
That Zhao Fusheng in the province is always thinking about Gu Lan!
"Ouch, you're really Xinghua's mother!" Erniu's daughter-in-law slapped Chen's hand, praised her, turned her head, and said, "By the way, do you know who I saw in the market today?" ”
Her eyes squeezed, her mouth was deflated, and her voice was lowered, Chen knew what she was doing, and she also lowered her voice, looked left and right, and made sure that no one was there, and then asked, "Who do you see?" ”
"I saw the Lan girl of Gu Laosan's family! She also went to the market and bought a lot of good things, pork and cloth, and she looked quite rich! ”
"What! She's willing to buy meat! ”
Chen's voice raised suddenly, she knew what kind of life Gu Lan and the others were having, they didn't eat the last meal, and they were covered with wild vegetables all day long, but it had only been two days, so why was she willing to eat pork!
"I think it's strange too, isn't this here to ask you?"
Could it be that their own men have come to their aid? Chen couldn't help but doubt in his heart, and he didn't have the mood to chat, so he sent away Erniu's daughter-in-law, and went to talk to Mrs. Gu about it.
If it was really the man of the Gu family who reached out to help, she would inevitably cry, make trouble and hang herself!
This dead man, how can he not think of his own son and daughter!
Two flowers bloom.
When Gu Lan returned home, the fallen leaves outside the house were all cleaned, and the fallen leaves were collected into a pile that could be used as firewood.
Looking at the inside of the house, the original messy debris has also been classified and placed, and at this time, the land in the house is muddy, and the potholes and mud have been cleaned.
Zhu'er Liang'er grinned and stood in front of Gu Lan waiting for review, Zhu'er staggered, and wanted to stand up like her brother.
Gu Lan rushed over and hugged the three of them, kissing and hugging.
I was about to die of pity in my heart, how could there be such well-behaved children.
"You're awesome, my sister loves you so much!"
Love? Zhu'er and Liang'er glanced at each other, only to see that each other's faces were red and shy.
Zhu'er stumbled and said, "Sister, I, I'm ......"
He "me" for a long time, and he was embarrassed to say that.
Gu Lan understands that it is difficult for children who are not good at expressing their feelings to express themselves freely, but in the future, she will slowly teach children to express themselves as they want and freely.
Because they're a family!
Gu Lan took out the things she bought from the bamboo basket, pork, white linen, salt, and three meatloaf.
It was already cold, but the aroma of the bread still made several children look at it with intent.
"Sister, isn't the cake very expensive?" Liang Er was a little distressed.
"It's not expensive!" Gu Lan raised her face proudly and asked, "Do you know how much money I sold for fish?" ”
"How much?"
"Thirty-two pennies!"
"So much?" Zhu'er opened his mouth wide.
They all picked up this fish, and it didn't take any effort, isn't it equivalent to picking up money for nothing?
"Great! In the future, we will dig more cassava and soak more, so that we can catch more fish! We're going to have money! ”
He was bouncing happily, finally not having to go hungry!
Gu Lan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes curved into a crescent moon, sure enough, children who didn't study were easy to deceive.
That's enough money for what?
Liang Er was still smart, and immediately asked the key question: "Sister, what about bricks!" ”
Gu Lan was still smiling, not wanting her younger brothers and sisters to be too worried, and said freely: "I have seen the bricks in the bazaar, the price is not very good, I think about it carefully, it is better to make bricks by yourself, when we are skilled in making bricks, we can also use them to build houses, maybe we can sell them for money, what do you think?" ”
Zhu'er is her most loyal supporter, and he agrees with whatever Gu Lan says.
"This is good! This one is better than buying bricks! Sister, let's do it ourselves! ”
The pillar is categorical.
