Chen Fan stood at the bottom of the slope and watched as everyone helped him plant trees.

Now only the first batch is pulled, the trees are planted in the pit, two people are left to fill the soil, and the others continue to pull the remaining trees with carts.

At the top of the slope, the mares, foals, and two lambs looked curiously at the lively field, reluctant to move their feet.

Seeing their appearance, Chen Fan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. That is, in Chenjiawan, if they go to other places and stare at people like this, they are afraid that they will become a pot of meat.

Thinking of meat, Chen Fan took out the small alarm clock to check the time, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the morning, and in another hour, it was time for lunch, so he thought about going to the front to see if Liu Jiaojiang had prepared the materials for lunch.

To make a rural feast, almost all the ingredients will be processed in advance, such as meat and fish will be steamed and fried in advance, and some semi-finished ingredients such as various meatballs, spring rolls, fish cakes, meat cakes and other semi-finished ingredients will be prepared, and then several stoves will be fired at the same time, and it only takes about an hour to make more than a dozen tables of flowing water seats.

Today, Chen Fan asked 30 small workers to help, although he didn't have to pay for the work, but he must arrange the dishes. He had to go ahead to see if Liu had handled the game meat well.

As a result, before he walked to the front yard, he didn't know that it was a man from Huang Ying's brothers, so he stood under the shed next to the kitchen and shouted to Chen Fan, "Teacher Chen, the mud is all the same, and it's time to start the stove." ”

Chen Fan waved his hand, "It's coming." ”

Then he trotted forward.

When I arrived at the front yard, I checked the preparations of Liu Jiaojiang first, and it was okay, the game was almost done, just waiting for the pot to stew.

Yesterday, he taught Liu Tuojiang several ways to deal with wild meat, which can be roasted or stewed, or stir-fried with slices of meat, each with its own style, all of which he tried to make against the "Wild Meat Recipe", and it tasted good, and I don't know if Liu Tuojiang can restore a little bit of his craftsmanship.

That is, he also has a lot of things to do today, building earthen stoves and toilets, and he doesn't have time to cook, otherwise he wouldn't go to Liu Jiaojiang.

Anyway, the members of the team don't have a high pursuit of taste, just about it, and with Liu Jiaojiang's experience, there should be no problem.

After checking around, he turned around and went into the kitchen, it turned out that the location of the earthen stove had been cleaned, just waiting for Chen Fan to start construction.

A person on the side bent down, supported his knees with his hands, and looked at Chen Fan curiously, "Teacher Chen, you don't invite a big worker, do you really plan to lay bricks yourself?" ”

Chen Fan picked up a small adobe brick, threw it twice in his hand, and smiled at him, "Don't believe in my craftsmanship? ”

The man grinned dryly, "If we want to talk about cultural knowledge, then we definitely don't doubt it at all." However, this bricklayer and carpenter are not the same as reading books, they have to be hands-on. Don't you like to listen to me, this stove is fine, if you don't do it well, you can eat a meal at most, but that toilet, if you don't build the wall well, there will be a big problem. ”

Isn't it a big problem that the wall suddenly collapses with a tuba?!

Today, 30 of them came, but they were all small workers, everyone thought that Chen Fan had hired other big workers, but they didn't expect that it was him who went into battle himself.

That's not a joke?!

In the face of his advice, Chen Fan smiled, picked up a brick knife, shoveled a little soil and cement and applied it to the adobe bricks, and said to him, "Then you can see my craftsmanship, whether you are qualified to build the wall by yourself." ”

Then, under the gaze of the three people on the side, their hands and feet did not stop, and soon the base frame of the stove was built.

The three of them were on the side, their eyes flashing with strange lights, and their hearts were amazed. I didn't expect Mr. Chen to even know the craftsmanship of a bricklayer? In the Commune's construction team, those who were about his age, or even a few years older than him, were basically still apprentices.

As a result, Mr. Chen was able to start work on his own, the key is that he also learned so many other skills, so many skills are concentrated in one person, and I don't know how he learned it?

Chen Fan was busy for a while, and said without raising his head, "Masters, do me a favor." ”

As soon as the words fell, the three of them suddenly came back to their senses, and someone immediately asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Chen Fan, "Adjust a little more mud, and then someone will help deliver the bricks." ”

One of the younger ones immediately squatted over, picked up an adobe brick and handed it to Chen Fan, while the other two went out to mix mud.

With their help, Chen Fan's efficiency suddenly became much higher, and a stove took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, the light at the door dimmed, Chen Fan instinctively raised his head and glanced at it, only to see the security walk in with his hands in his pockets, his eyes fell on the stove, and his mouth was still amazed, "Yes, you can even build a wall, and when I build a new house, you have to go and work for me." ”

Chen Fan suddenly laughed, "You build a new house?" You went to buy an accordion, and later you saved money to buy paper, brushes, and paints for your sister-in-law, where did you get the money to build a new house? ”

An's face fell, and he glared at him angrily, "Go and go, what do you know, I can't afford to buy a new house, I can't buy a vacant land to build it myself?" Can't afford to buy in town, can't I buy in the village? ”

Before Chen Fan could speak, the person who was handing Chen Fan the bricks smiled and said, "Brother An, if you want to buy the one in the village, then I'm afraid you can only make a fortune, because the homestead in the village is only for the people of the village, and the people from other teams are not counted, let alone the town, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." ”

Security pointed at him, "You are just like Lao Yang, you can't even listen to a joke, you are worthy of the Yang family." ”

Then he didn't bother to talk to him, and put his hands behind his back and circled in front of the stove, "I see that there are several piles of green bricks in your backyard, why don't you use green bricks to build the stove, and use this kind of adobe bricks." ”

Chen Fan pasted a brick on it again, raised his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "I definitely want to keep the green bricks to build a new house, so I will know the youth to order this stove, if the green bricks are used, it will not contribute to the later educated youth." ”

He patted the stove that was about to be built, and said, "Besides, this stove is not bad, the storage is the whole production team, and it may even be the only one in the whole commune, and it doesn't matter whether it uses green bricks or not." ”

Security pointed at him, his face was full of disdain, "Blow, you blow, just an adobe brick stove, just like a rare treasure in the sky and no on the ground, and it is the only ,......one in the whole commune."

He also patted the earthen stove, "Just this kind of adobe brick, or it will be blackened in less than three months, what's the big deal?" ”

At this moment, a person came in with a bucket of mixed mud and said to Chen Fan, "Teacher Chen, your stove is almost finished, what should I do if there is still so much mud?" ”

Chen Fan turned around and glanced at it, and said with a smile, "This bucket may not be enough, please help me transfer another bucket." ”

Everyone looked at him strangely, especially Safety, their eyes full of puzzlement, "What are you doing with so much mud?" You can't use this kind of mud for the inner stove, it's too thin, and you have to use that kind of mud. ”

Chen Fan smiled, got up and walked to the corner of the kitchen, lifted a straw mat, and said with a smile, "Look what this is." ”

An'an quickly walked over, picked up a boxy pottery shard and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly, he thought for two seconds, raised his head suddenly, looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Do you want to use this as a tile and stick it on the stove?" ”

Chen Fan laughed and gave him a thumbs up, "Brother An is Brother An, good eyesight." ”

Then he smiled and asked, "How about it, when these pottery pieces are pasted, is my stove the only one in the whole commune?" ”

Security had already laughed out loud, "It's not just the whole commune, I'm afraid there is no stove like you in the whole Gufeng County." ”

When they got here, the three people who helped also understood what Chen Fan meant.

These pottery shards look like the same material as the pottery used at home, and the surface is also a turquoise enamel layer, and if you stick this pottery shard on the stove, you can hardly worry about the stove being blackened, and you can maintain the cleanliness of the surface of the stove by wiping it with a rag after each meal.

It's much better than a loess cooktop!

Figuring out Chen Fan's intentions, including safety, several people unconsciously sped up, hoping to see what this stove would look like after it was built.

Chen Fan did not disappoint them, first smeared the inner stove with loess mud, then smeared a layer of clay cement on the surface of the stove, and then pasted the pottery shards one by one, but also tried to reduce the gaps.

In the corners, he also blivated.

If Jiang Lili and Yang Ju were here, they would find that the strange-shaped pottery that Chen Fan had made before was just firmly attached to the surface of the stove, almost tightly fitting, and did not need to be treated separately.

Obviously, the size of these pottery shards has been carefully calculated by Chen Fan in order to form the surface of the stove so smoothly.

After pasting the last piece of pottery, Chen Fan looked at the "two stoves and four pots", the flashing new stove, and couldn't help laughing, "It's done!" ”
