I went to the market and bought things, and it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Fan and the others were ready to go home.

Before the foal is well ill, he moves his stuff to the mule cart and lets the pony continue to lie on his stomach on the cart.

After leaving the veterinarian station, I first went to the repair shop to get the pendulum reed and the copper belt buckle, and Master Liu knew them, so he chatted with the two masters, and the topic was naturally the foal on the cart.

After Chen Fan checked the things and put them away, he saw a few small iron pots on the wooden shelf next to him, so he asked, "Master, is this for sale?" ”

Hearing Chen Fan's words, the blacksmith master turned his head and glanced at him, "I made this myself, if you want to buy it, 10 yuan a bite, no ticket." ”

Chen Fan wanted to buy a small iron pot in the supply and marketing cooperatives just now, but unfortunately there were no industrial coupons, no tickets here, and the price was lower than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives, so he did not hesitate to buy two.

A wok-bottomed wok with a round bottom, and a saucepan that resembles the liner of a rice cooker.

Master Liu looked a little strange, "You bought a coal stove?" ”

Chen Fan spread his hands, "Without industrial coupons, you can't buy a coal stove." ”

Then he explained, "I plan to change the earthen stove a little, and when the time comes, I can use it with two small openings." ”

At this time, the blacksmith suddenly said, "If you want to buy a coal stove, I can get one for you, but the core and vermiculite are not easy to get, and it costs 20 yuan in total." ”

The core of the coal furnace is made of perlite powder mixed with refractory clay, and the filling in the middle is vermiculite, both of which can retain heat so that the heat of coal burning will not be dissipated through the furnace body, so it is also called an energy-saving coal furnace.

On the contrary, the outermost iron sheet is the simplest, and the blacksmith can make it by tapping it, and there are no requirements.

Facing the blacksmith's kindness, Chen Fan smiled and said, "Thank you, but I am from the production team, I don't have a coal ticket, and I can't use the coal stove if I buy it." ”

The blacksmith looked at him meaningfully, and said with a light smile, "Of course I know which one you are, otherwise I wouldn't dare to sell the iron pot to you, and I don't sell this pot to everyone, if you didn't come with Master Liu, I wouldn't dare to sell it to you at a high price." I don't have any coal here, but I have a little bit of charcoal, which can be evenly distributed, and it can also be used for coal stoves. ”

Chen Fan's eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately understood where the charcoal came from, the repair shop has a special supply of charcoal every month, and it is normal for them to have charcoal in their hands.

However, he really didn't think about buying a coal stove, but he didn't refuse directly, just smiled, "When I need it, I will definitely come to you." ”

Today he learned the method of burning clay kiln, he wants to go back and try his own charcoal, if it is successful, he does not need to buy it, and it is not too late to come back if he is not successful.

The blacksmith smiled slightly, and said no more.

Chen Fan paid the money, took the two iron pots into the car, and then rushed back with Jiang Lili and Master Liu.

……

When we get back to the Educated Youth Point, we unload the things into the yard first, and the foal leads them to the pig house in the back.

Jiang Lili found two baskets and spread straw, one to put the two dogs in, and the other to hold the chickens. The two baskets were placed in the room, and the chick and puppy became neighbors, and then she was busy packing up the other things.

After Chen Fan pacified the pony, he and Master Liu drove the donkey cart back to the barn.

The mule and donkey are put into the fence and the cart is returned to its place.

Chen Fan took out 2 packs of peony cigarettes from his pocket, stuffed them into Master Liu's hands, and said with a smile, "Master Liu, you have worked hard today,......

Before he could finish speaking, Master Liu pushed back and said with a straight face, "What are you doing here?" I'll help you pull things, and do it like this, put it away and put it away. ”

Chen Fan held his hand and didn't let him move, and said with a smile, "Listen to me finish speaking." ”

Master Liu's eyes widened, "Okay, you speak, I see you can tell a flower." ”

Chen Fan snorted and said with a smile, "When I went out today, I said that I would invite you to eat soft-shelled turtle meat, but now I don't even have soft-shelled turtle soup, I can't let you work in vain, right?" ”

Master Liu smiled, "The truth is this, but we have to pay attention to the regulations, if you give me two packs of economic cigarettes, I will accept them, this peony cigarette is too expensive, I can't afford it." ”

Chen Fan, "There is a second one." ”

Master Liu looked at him, "Because of the foal?" ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "It's those veterinary books, if it weren't for your old face, how could these good books fall into my hands." ”

Master Liu smiled, "A good book must also be understood by someone." ”

After a pause, he said hatefully, "I really didn't say you, you obviously have this talent, why don't you want to be a veterinarian?" ”

Chen Fan clenched his hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Master Liu, I have my own plans for this matter, just watch it." ”

Hearing him say this, Master Liu was startled at first, and then his eyes were full of strangeness, this kid is mysterious, what the hell is he doing?

Chen Fan finally said, "I also want to ask you something, you have raised livestock for decades, and you are half a breeding expert, and you are also very familiar with how to deal with the small problems of these livestock, I want to ask you about this knowledge in the future, I don't know if you can?" ”

This is also the reason why he revealed to Master Liu that he had other plans.

He also wants to get some wool on Master Liu.

Although he has a skill board, the pace of self-study is very different from the guidance of others. He obviously rejected Master Liu's proposal to let him be a veterinarian, and if he came back to ask questions again, he would be weird about himself, so he deliberately said this to calm his heart.

Sure enough, when Master Liu heard his words, he immediately grinned, "Okay, why can't you?" Even if you don't say it, I have to teach you how to raise horses, otherwise it would be a pity for you to raise such a good foal. ”

At this point, Master Liu accepted the two packs of cigarettes.

But when Chen Fan left, he took out a bundle of hay from the hay shed next to him, "You take this back to feed the foal, and when it's cold at night, spread more straw for it." ”

Chen Fan didn't refuse, and walked back with the forage.

Back to the Zhiqing Point, Jiang Lili had already sorted out everything, "The chickens and puppies are in the room next to you, the stone mill is also in that room, and the soybeans, Fuqiang powder, and sugar are all placed in your room, which is a bamboo bed stacked with sundries."

The bacon and bacon were all put back in place, and the meat was taken to the kitchen, but the buffalo milk didn't know where to put it, so I put it on the table in your room. ”

After a pause, she added, "You have to go to work later, and I'll get you something to eat." ”

As he spoke, he was about to go to the kitchen.

Chen Fan looked at the time, it was just half past one, and there were still two hours, so he waved his hand and smiled, "Wait, I'll get this meal." ”

Jiang Lili looked at him in surprise, "Huh? Do you do it? ”

She blinked stunnedly, "You don't want to make two catties of meat now, do you?" ”

She has only seen Chen Fan cook two or three times, but every time she is generous, and now he is going to do it again, so he won't make any big meals, right?

Chen Fan shook his head, "Don't make meat now, I'll talk about it at night." ”

Then he said mysteriously, "Go and help me pick a few wild oranges, I'll be useful." ”

Late-maturing varieties of oranges are still there after the first month, and there are a few orange trees in the miscellaneous groves behind the Zhiqing Point, but these orange varieties are not good, not only small, but also very sour, even if they are ripe and fall to the ground, they can't taste the slightest sweetness, and they belong to the kind that even birds can't look down on.

Hearing that Chen Fan asked him to pick wild oranges, Jiang Lili was naturally very surprised, "What do you want that thing for?" ”

Chen Fan laughed, "Of course it's delicious." ”

Jiang Lili didn't understand even more, if you want to be sour, you can use vinegar, that thing is sour and astringent, what can you do?

But she couldn't resist Chen Fan, so she was still urged to go to the back.
