Chapter 247: Business Again

Today's dinner set up 5 tables, two tables in the "comprehensive room" and two tables in the "utility room".

There is also a table in the kitchen, which is used to entertain several aunts who help the cook, Jiang Lili and Yang Ju are naturally here.

It's just that the meals have been served, and the loose wine bought from the 7th team of Lao Tang has also been poured, but no one has gone over to eat.

More than 30 people were crammed into the kitchen to see the first patch stove in Lujiawan.

Captain Yang rubbed his palm on the stove patch carefully, and his mouth was amazed, "Oh, Xiao Chen, you have a good method, stick the pottery piece on the stove, wipe the stove is the same as washing dishes, get some hot water and wipe it with a wet rag, it will be clean, the same as new, it can be used for many years." ”

Accountant Liu stared at the pottery piece for a while, turned his head to look at Chen Fan, and asked in a low voice, "How much does this pottery piece cost?" ”

Chen Fan raised his head and thought about it, and said softly, "This pottery shard is a little smaller than a bowl, and it uses a little less soil than a bowl, but looking at the boxy, it is actually not easy to burn it flat,......

Before he could finish speaking, Keeper Huang interrupted him and asked, "How much money you say is over." ”

Chen Fan rubbed his little hands and said with a smile, "5 cents a piece." ”

Equivalent to a quarter of a bowl.

However, it is much easier to make this pottery shard than to make a bowl, a large wooden board, spread the clay to smooth out, cut into 10 by 20 cm size clay pieces, put it in the tuyere for two days to dry, and then use a brush to apply a layer of glaze water, and after drying, send it to the earthen kiln for firing. Just that small earthen kiln can burn two or three thousand pieces at a time.

Sell it for 5 cents a piece, that's blood earning.

But he can't sell it too cheaply, otherwise he won't have to do anything, just give them the kiln.

"5 cents a piece?"

Safety muttered a little, and then began to measure on the stove, "How many tablets do you use here?" ”

Chen Fan casually pinched his fingers and counted, "It's about 600 pieces." ”

The main thing is that the pottery pieces are small, but this stove is not small, all wrapped up, and the number used is really a lot.

He also wanted to burn several large pottery shards, preferably to cover the surface of the stove directly in one piece, so that there would be no gaps and it would be easier to take care of.

However, the larger the pottery shard, the easier it is to burn and bend, and it can barely be used when used, as long as the surface of the stove is uneven. But the stove is uneven, can you still put dishes?

So there is no way, he can only make the pottery shards small, and now this size is the size with the highest yield after he has tested several kilns.

Hearing Chen Fan's words, the onlookers were stunned for a moment, do you want so much?

And then someone calculated the price, "Isn't that 30 dollars?" ”

Everyone immediately talked about it.

"It's so expensive."

"I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

"That is, Mr. Chen will burn it himself, if you buy it, how many people can afford it?"

Even the security is a little staggering, "It's almost half a month's salary for me." ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "If you are like me, it will be so much to surround the entire stove, but if you only lay the surface of the stove, it is estimated that about 100 pieces will be enough." ”

Captain Yang suddenly nodded and said, "That's the truth, the most dirty stove in general is the countertop, if you only lay pottery pieces on the countertop, you can not only take care of it, but also spend less money, you can." ”

The others nodded in agreement.

"Spend 5 yuan to stick a pottery piece on the stove, it looks good and clean, it's not particularly expensive, and it's acceptable."

"5 yuan is okay, you can do it in ten days casually, it's not expensive."

Immediately, someone wanted to place an order with Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, do you still have this pottery piece, I want to buy a little." ”

Before Chen Fan could speak, Captain Yang waved his hand and said loudly, "At this time, buy a ghost, eat, and wait for the dishes to be cold." ”

After a pause, he said, "If any of you want to buy it, go back to Accountant Liu to register, and I will report it to Teacher Chen." Otherwise, you will buy them one by one, and who will take care of them. ”

When everyone heard this, they responded with a bang and went out to prepare for dinner with a smile.

From beginning to end, Chen Fan was smiling, and he didn't say anything about not selling.

Looking for a business that comes to your door, you don't make any money, what do you want?

He didn't say that he had exchanged agricultural products, he had just pulled a dozen bags of millet to the brigade headquarters, and if he came again, it would be a grain store.

Safety also gave him a science popularization, relying on craftsmanship to earn money belongs to a kind of "rural sideline", earning labor fees, as long as the team agrees, no one can speak, just save him the trouble of going back and forth.

……

Eat a meal until more than one o'clock in the afternoon, take a short rest, and continue to work at two o'clock.

In the morning, the 14 helpers in charge of transplanting the trees had already transplanted all the trees in place, and at this time, they had their hands free, and the stove had been built, so now there were toilets and sewers to deal with.

Captain Yang was in charge of commanding, and divided 20 people to the back, and the remaining 10 people all gave Chen Fan a hand and watched him build toilets.

Accountant Liu stood aside with his hands behind his back, a cigarette in his mouth, and his eyes were full of puzzlement, "A toilet still uses green bricks?" Don't use a manure tank yet? After digging such a big pit again, it shouldn't have fallen directly into the pit, right? ”

Keeper Huang bit the cigarette stick, his brows furrowed tightly, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly, "It doesn't look like it, if it falls directly into the pit, there is no need to build such a long sewer in the back, and build a septic tank, cover the plate directly on the pit, and leave a mouth, isn't it?" ”

Captain Yang looked at the pit that was gradually forming, turned his head to look at safety, and whispered, "Lao An, you are well-informed, do you know how he wants to get it?" ”

Security frowned, looked at the pile of green bricks, the soil and cement being mixed next to it, and lime, pottery shards, a water tank like a quarter of a round, and something wrapped in straw that couldn't see the whole picture clearly, thought for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Xiao Chen, did you burn the squatting toilet yourself?" ”

Everyone looked at the safety with puzzled eyes.

machine? What's that?

Chen Fan turned around, looked at the safety and smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, I burned several things, and finally burned two squatting toilets, so I thought of renovating the toilet." ”

"Oops."

Safety clasped his hands tightly, and his face was full of admiration, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that you would even burn a squatting urinal, it's amazing." ”

Captain Yang's eyes were blank, he looked at Chen Fan, then at him, and asked, "What is a squatting toilet?" ”

His question is also the question that Accountant Liu, Custodian Huang and others want to ask.

Turning around safely, he smiled at him, "The squatting toilet is a thing used in the toilets of buildings in the city, and after going to the toilet, as long as you flush it with water, you can wash away the dirty things, clean and clean, and there is no smell at all." ”

Before the rise of real estate, the urban sewer system was still very imperfect, and the vast majority of urban residents did not have indoor toilets in their places for a long time, mainly relying on public toilets for convenience, and at night they relied on "spittoons" to be disposed of the next morning.

Only those newly built "workers' new villages", as well as the self-built buildings of each unit, will be equipped with toilets, and many of them are not "one toilet per household", but "one toilet on one floor".

Later, in many public housing houses, the toilet was higher than the floor of the hall, indicating that the toilet was later renovated.

This is true even for public housing, not to mention bungalows and old-fashioned self-built houses.

Therefore, a squatting toilet that was very common in later generations is also a rare thing nowadays, especially in the countryside, not to mention that it has been seen, and even heard of very little.

When Captain Yang heard the words of safety, they were stunned for a moment, and then they were suspicious.

After the convenience is finished, just flush the water, and there is no smell.

Is this still a toilet?
