In ancient times, when they slept after dark, the Liu Changfu brothers were very curious about their mother's actions.

"Mother, the work in the field is done, and tomorrow I want to take the second and third children to collect pigs. When you're done, we'll go again. ”

Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Don't go to collect pigs tomorrow, Changfu Changlu, you hurry up tomorrow morning with shovels and sacks, and follow me." Longevity, you go to the north and dig ten baskets of yellow mud for me and transport them home, and there are no stones and leaves and small branches in them. ”

"The eldest daughter-in-law cooks at home and takes the eldest girl and the dog's eggs, and the second daughter-in-law takes Changhuan and Changle to beat pigweed."

The second daughter-in-law was not happy, "Mother, tomorrow I should cook at home and take care of the children, and my sister-in-law will go to hunt pigweed." ”

It's not easy to be at home, but it's lighter than working outside.

Li Xiaoyue refused without hesitation, she liked the eldest daughter-in-law's obedience and honesty, and she also liked the eldest daughter-in-law to treat the eldest girl and the dog equally.

Unlike the second daughter-in-law at home, she can't wait to pull all the good things into her house, and she can hide the eggs for each child, and only give them to the dog.

When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she had a tiger face, and she looked very unhappy after her authority was challenged.

"I don't think your cooking is delicious, the same thing, the taste you make, is not the same as pig food, it spoils things."

"Now I have a new idea of making a living, and I will have to work at home in the future, and I won't let you go to the field. But during this time, you give me a lot of work. Sneaking and cheating, when it's time to make summer clothes, you don't have to think about it. ”

When the second daughter-in-law heard her mother-in-law say this, she hurriedly said, "Mother, don't be angry, I'm just talking." In our village, who doesn't know that you love your daughter-in-law? ”

Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, when she couldn't hear it, was it the opposite?

The original body is indeed not a good mother-in-law, and she has intensified the suppression of her daughter-in-law by the sins she received from her mother-in-law.

"Okay, that's it, let's go back and rest." Li Xiaoyue got up and went back to the house, feeling a little anxious because she hadn't found a way to make a living.

Now that she has, she can sleep soundly tonight.

I had no dreams all night, and the next day I had breakfast and went our separate ways.

Under the leadership of Li Changan, an abandoned Shini mine near Dongshan was found.

Large chunks of stone were dug up, leaving only fine coal dust at the bottom of the pit and around it.

Li Xiaoyue saw it, and there were quite a few of them.

Liu Changfu looked at his mother and wanted to reach out to grab the black coal dust, and hurriedly stopped, "Mother, Shi Ni is poisonous and can poison people." ”

Li Xiaoyue couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to say what she had persuaded Li Laohan yesterday again, "...... Just use it in a ventilated place outside and it's fine. ”

"I've got two towels here, you cover your nose and mouth to prevent inhaling dust, put these coal dust in sacks, let's go home."

Just now she checked it, there are few impurities in the pulverized coal here, and when it is mined, it is washed, mixed with some yellow clay, increasing viscosity, and using the tools used to make honeycomb coal, it can be made into honeycomb coal.

I made two trips back and forth, made two trips, filled ten sacks of pulverized coal, and the third child also dug ten baskets of loess.

Now iron is expensive, and of course you can't use iron to make stoves, so Li Xiaoyue decided to make stoneware honeycomb coal stoves.

In Lihua Village, there is a household that specializes in firing stoneware pots and water tanks for civilian use.

Honeycomb coal has an inner liner and a stoneware shell, the middle is filled with vermiculite, and a layer of edge is added to the outside to cover the stoneware and the inner tank and the vermiculite in the middle.

After getting the drawings, Zhou Laohan smiled, "Hey, Xiaoyue, are you making a stone nirvana furnace?" Do you want to make iron? ”

Li Xiaoyue originally wanted to explain how to make the inner tank of honeycomb coal, but when she heard Zhou Laohan ask, she knew that Zhou Laohan knew how to do it, "Yes, it is the stone nirvana furnace, but I am very small, can I make it?" ”

Old Man Zhou smiled, "You can do it, but what are you doing this?" ”

Li Xiaoyue didn't answer, avoiding the topic, "Anyway, it's useful, don't tell Uncle Zhou first." How long does it take to burn? How much? ”

Zhou Laohan calculated, he had a good relationship with Li Laohan, and he didn't think about making too much money.

"Xiaoyue, the smallest kiln in my family, should make at least twenty sets at a time. In this way, a set of at least 60 essays is calculated. ”

Li Xiaoyue thought for a while, "Then set a kiln, twenty sets, it must be according to my size above, even if there is an error, but it can't be too big." ”

"In addition, now that the quantity is small, I won't bargain with you, but in the future, I will set more, and you will give me a cheaper."

Hearing this, Zhou Laohan's eyes lit up and he joked, "That's necessary, I have a good relationship with your father." If I don't give you cheap, your father won't smoke me? ”

Li Xiaoyue smiled, "You make it for me, it's strong and durable." The more I sell the Shini stove I make, the more I will order from you. ”

Old Man Zhou hesitated, "But this stone is poisonous......

"It's okay to put it in the kitchen, not in a sealed house, the key is the honeycomb coal I make, that's the key. I won't tell you more, I want to keep it a secret. ”

gave a deposit, came out of Zhou Laohan's house, and went to Village Chief Li's house, saying that he would spend money to buy the land of Shini Mine.

Village Chief Li, a lean old man, is Li Laohan's distant uncle and Li Xiaoyue's elder.

As soon as he heard this, he was immediately anxious, "Xiaoyue, Liu Yunde is not a thing, you are separated, you will live a good life, why did you suddenly have a convulsion and want to buy that piece of land?" ”

Li Xiaoyue couldn't cry or laugh, and patiently explained, "I want to use Shi Ni powder to make honeycomb coal and use it for cooking." ”

When Village Chief Li heard this, he was even more embarrassed, and scolded loudly in a hurry, "That thing is poisonous, my own brother was poisoned by Shi Ni." I don't think you're having a brain twitch, you're crazy. ”

"I won't sell it to you, now let me go home, and I'll go to your father at night, lest I say a few more words about you, and you sue your father and complain about me."

In this way, Li Xiaoyue was driven away by the grumpy distant cousin grandfather.

It is estimated that Daddy Li Laohan will probably come over to blame her at night, and she shouldn't have bought that piece of land.

Only by waiting for the honeycomb coal stove and the honeycomb coal stove to be made and show good results can Li Laohan be persuaded to allow her to buy the land.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Xiaoyue picked up the bowl for lunch and was about to eat lunch, she heard Li Laohan's powerful footsteps.

"Xiaoyue, I think you're messing around, the stone Nirvana in that place has been dug up, and there is no grass, you want to dig some Shini powder and dig it casually, why do you want to buy it?"

Li Xiaoyue said to her eldest daughter-in-law: "Go and serve your grandfather dinner, let's talk while eating." ”

Li Laohan waved his hand, "I don't eat, don't change the topic." Without giving me a reason, I will never allow you to buy it. It's not easy for the three brothers to make some money, and you can't be a mother. ”

Except for the eldest daughter-in-law, Wu Cuihong, everyone else thinks like this.

Li Xiaoyue couldn't explain it, "Dad, I'm worried that the honeycomb coal will be done well and sold well, but the land will be snatched away, and we won't be able to do honeycomb coal and honeycomb coal stove business." ”

Li Laohan thought for a moment, "Then you get the stove and honeycomb coal, and I'll see if it can be used." Don't make a noise about it, make sure it's useful, and then buy it. ”

Li Xiaoyue knew that it was useful, but Li Laohan didn't know it! Later, I needed the help of the old father, so I had to give up, "That's okay, listen to my father." ”

Facts speak louder than words, and it depends on the results!

Hearing this, Li Laohan smiled, his black face was full of smiles, and his daughter listened to his persuasion, and she couldn't be wrong in the future.

"By the way, Xiaoyue, you used to like to go to the market, tomorrow your eldest brother and I are going to buy two cows, a horse, and a few lambs, will you go?"

Li Xiaoyue's mind flashed to the border field outside Zhenxi Pass, where merchants from the Great Yan Dynasty and other border countries, and even some countries further away, exchanged and traded various commodities there.

"Go, Dad, I'll go." Li Xiaoyue is good at business, she wants to go there to find business opportunities, and she can't miss this good opportunity.
