Chapter 19 Bellows

Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "It's okay, I'm afraid that you will think of the previous escape, just remember it." ”

But it also reminded her of what the master had said before, and she didn't say anything more.

It's good that the girl gets better.

Jiang Yunmian worked quickly, and quickly cleaned up the chicken feathers, and she said, "Mother, I will take these chicken feathers out to dry them in a while, and they can also be used as grass burning." ”

Although Jiang Yunmian is only eight years old, he has also learned the habit of frugality, he is reluctant to waste anything, and the chicken feathers can be burned as firewood when they are not used, or they will be wasted if they are not thrown away.

Moreover, the chicken feathers can also be dried to cause fire, or if the firewood is damp, it is not easy to ignite.

When she heard that the chicken feathers were going to be used as firewood, Jiang Zhiluo felt that it was a waste.

"Mother, these chicken feathers are wasted as firewood, I think, these chicken feathers can be washed and saved, you can make a mattress, a mattress made of chicken feathers or duck feathers and goose feathers, it will be very warm."

"If you want to make bellows, you also need to use some chicken feathers."

When making a bellows, you also need to put the wind plate with chicken feathers into the bellows at the end, so that it can be used when it is pulled up.

Ye Shi was stunned, they had never tried to make mattresses out of chicken feathers.

Maybe the girl is right, you can try to make a mattress and try it, if it's warm, use it.

Their winter quilts are all old cotton quilts, and they are not very warm for many years.

But fresh cotton is really expensive, and there are many children in the family, so they can't afford so many quilts, so they can only continue to use old quilts and mattresses.

But this is the land of the northern cold, and the winter is really cold.

If you can use something else to make a mattress quilt to keep you warm, you can really try it.

However, Jiang Yunmian's attention was on the second sentence, she looked up at Jiang Zhiluo, and asked, "Sister, what are you talking about, why do you use chicken feathers in the bellows?" ”

Jiang Yunmian had never heard of bellows.

She was a little curious.

Jiang Zhiluo was slightly stunned, and thought about it for a while, it is true that everyone doesn't know about bellows in this era.

"The bellows are the things that are used to blow the air, so that we can burn the firewood more vigorously."

Jiang Zhiluo can't explain the scientific principles, because if those physical principles are explained, the fifth sister won't understand.

It can only be explained in the simplest words.

Jiang Yunmian was already very smart, and when he heard this, he suddenly became excited and said: "Sister, isn't it the feeling of using the wind to blow, making the firewood very prosperous." ”

"When I burn the fire, sometimes I see that the flame is a little small, I blow it with my mouth, sometimes the wind blows less, and the flame is not too big, but I roll it with a thing, and the wind blows strongly, and the fire burns strongly, is it something that blows the wind?"

Jiang Yunmian thought that if there was such a thing, it would be easier to make a fire in the future.

Sometimes on rainy or rainy days, the firewood is a little damp, and it is not easy to burn when the fire is burned.

The same is true in the winter.

There are also firewood that has just been cut back from the mountains, and it has not been completely dried in the sun, so it is not easy to burn.

She likes to burn the kind of firewood that is very dry, and it is very easy to burn.

When she was three or four years old, she helped her mother make a fire, but she was not very good at burning, and she also groped for a long time to better control the fire.

Looking at her sister's smart appearance, Jiang Zhiluo nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, that's it." ”

"When you go back and wait for Dad to make it, you'll know if it's good or not."

Jiang Zhiluo also wanted to ask her father to make one for her.

Although she has memories of her predecessor, she was spoiled by her parents' younger siblings at home, and she hardly worked or burned fires.

And she doesn't know how to do it.

So she can cook all kinds of food, but she's really not good at burning wood.

Not to mention that in this era, people are also more economical on firewood.

Sometimes a bundle of firewood, if you don't use it, can sell it for three or four cents.

Some people in the village will also cut firewood and sell it in the town, although it is not easy to sell, but they can get three or four cents for selling such a bundle.

Xuan Xuan said crisply in Jiang Zhiluo's arms: "Dad is amazing, Dad can do a lot of things." ”

Jiang Zhiluo's expression moved.

Indeed, my father would do some handiwork and carpenter's work, so the conditions at home were better than most people in the village, otherwise the younger siblings would not even be able to eat half-full.

It's just that her father is not a professional carpenter, he can only do some simple work, some very complicated furniture or something, and her father can't do it.

So my dad would make some wooden-framed baskets to sell at the market on weekdays.

But these things are not easy to sell either.

Because many villagers will, if they can make it up themselves, they can make it up by themselves.

Fortunately, there are three acres of land at home, and my father has a lot of strength, and he can catch up with the two laborers of ordinary villagers by doing farm work.

So much so that the grain collected at home is okay.

But there are many younger brothers and sisters in the family, and there are many people who eat, so they can't care about having enough to eat.

Ye Shi looked at his daughter, thinking that her daughter was really good, and she suddenly became smarter.

Maybe getting married made the girl better all of a sudden.

Sure enough, it was right to follow her daughter's wishes and let her marry the person she liked.

Therefore, when Ye looked at Cui Hejin at this time, his face was full of satisfaction.

Just as they were talking and discussing the bellows, Jiang Xiangchuan came back with two large buckets of water jumping with a flat pole.

Jiang Xiangchuan is tall, good-looking, and has two large buckets of water, and he can easily carry them back.

It's just that Jiang Xiangchuan's legs are not very good, and he walks with a limp.

Jiang Zhiluo heard the voice and walked out, and said happily: "Dad! ”

"Ai, my daughter is back!"

Jiang Xiangchuan's expression was a little solemn, looking at the unrestrained smile, but as soon as he saw his eldest daughter coming back, he grinned and laughed.

Cui Hejin also walked out slowly, and saluted respectfully: "Dad! ”

Jiang Xiangchuan also responded happily.

Xuan Xuan hurriedly got down from Jiang Zhiluo's arms, and ran to Jiang Xiangchuan and said, "Dad, I'll help you!" ”

"You're still young, dad can provoke."

This weight is nothing to Jiang Xiangchuan, what he has is strength.

Ye said: "Why have you been going for so long?" ”

Jiang Xiangchuan said: "There are many people carrying water today, and they queued up for a while. ”

Jiang Zhiluo knows that in the villages here, there are generally two wells dug collectively in the village, and everyone in the village has to go diving to drink water.

The Cui family is the same in Donghe Village.

It would be nice to be able to dig a well at home, and it would be convenient to use water.

It's really inconvenient to carry water like this.

Fortunately, I washed my clothes in the river here.

If there is no river, it will be too hard to wash clothes with water.

Jiang Xiangchuan poured two large buckets of water into the vat, and the vats were full in an instant.

Jiang Zhiluo went over to scoop water with a scoop of water and watched, and quietly poured a little spiritual spring water into it.

After Jiang Zhiluo talked to her father, she talked about the production of bellows.

Jiang Zhiluo said in detail, there is no paper at home, she can only draw pictures with her father on the ground with branches, and explain how to make it.

Jiang Xiangchuan understood as soon as he heard it: "Girl, I know how to do it, if you need it, my father will make one for you as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Xiangchuan spoiled Jiang Zhiluo to the Ye family, and whatever the girl needed, they all hated to make things in a hurry.

Jiang Zhiluo thought for a while and said, "Dad, I want to do some small business, that is, to set up a stall to make some snacks, can Dad help me make a small food truck?" ”
