Humming a little song softly, Lu Xihua picked up a trowel, picked up a ball of mud with the head of the knife and put it on his hand, then bent his waist, stretched his entire upper body into the furnace, and began to wipe the mud on the furnace with his hands. After wiping for a while, the body became lying on the hearth because it had to adapt to the space in the chamber. Han Caier was busy helping her brother tidy up her trouser legs, and patted the dirty places with a cloth.

After more than an hour, wait for the mud in the furnace to dry and then go on the second time, and then the third time, as the mud in the furnace is put on again and again, the mud layer in the furnace is getting thicker and thicker, and it is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no crack in the slightest.

"Brother, I'm hungry. As soon as he was not careful, Lu Xihua worked hard, and forgot about eating.

"Okay, my brother will finish wiping the last round of mud immediately. Lu Xihua smeared the last layer of mud into the furnace, and this layer of mud was much thinner than the previous ones.

"Hmm. Han Cai'er nodded obediently, she shouldn't have disturbed her brother's work, but her little stomach was hungry. I wasn't like this before, I wouldn't be hungry if I hadn't eaten for a few days, but now I'm getting squeamish? Han Cai'er touched her little belly embarrassedly, and blamed you.

After Lu Xihua wiped the last round of mud, he picked up the hay and put it in the chamber, a layer of hay, and then a layer of bamboo charcoal, and then a layer of hay and a layer of bamboo charcoal, so that the layers were built up, until the smoke outlet was finished, and then he lit the bottom hay and observed for a while, and saw that the hay ignited the first layer of bamboo charcoal, and the whole was burned, so he closed the lid of the cast iron furnace door, and locked the furnace door with a big lock. Finish, leave.

"Let's go, Cai'er, we'll have toast tomorrow!" Lu Xihua packed up his tools, put them in his cart, and pushed them home. "What does Cai'er want to eat?"

"Cai'er wants to eat back to the pot. Brother, can you teach Cai'er to sing? The song you sang when you were working just now is so good, Cai'er has never heard it. ”

"Really, did my brother sing just now?" "Singing, singing, my brother singing!"

"Okay, then my brother will teach Cai'er to sing, but Cai'er will study hard, listen to the teacher, and my brother will teach you to sing. ”

"But brother, it's so hard to read and write. ”

"It's okay, Cai'er take her time. Come, let's memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table together. ”

"One by one, one by two, one by two, two by two......"

Zhou Hexuan, who lived in the French Concession, was restless at home for the past few days, and when he went to the British Concession that day to find the British Minister Powell and proposed to seek support through cash-for-work, he met a mysterious man. The man's name is Lu Xihua, and when he first met, he was teaching his sister to ride a bicycle, not only adding an item box in front of the bicycle faucet, but also installing training wheels on the rear wheel, which is something that only children's bicycles will come with in later generations.

At the moment, his head was a little blind, and then he invited himself to his house as a guest very warmly, but he didn't dare to agree, and said that he had something to leave. However, when he parted, he actually smiled and said Zhang Wuji's name, which is the name of the male protagonist of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and no one in later generations will know about it! This man surnamed Lu actually came from the next generation like himself? Everyone should be natural allies, but in the society of the Republic of China, every step is difficult, and it is difficult to guarantee that others will not have different intentions.

Zhou Hexuan waited at home for almost a week, life was as usual, nothing had changed, and the young man did not come to him. It has been more than a year since I came to the Republic of China inexplicably, and I am indeed a bit high-profile, copying books, poems, and papers, relying on my understanding of history, and talking nonsense, and I have become a historian, I blush a little when I think about it, who calls himself a powerless literati?

That Lu Xihua seems to be rich, he bought the 100,000 customs bonds when he said he would buy them, and he went to explore the way, all from one place, it seems that he has no malicious intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have joked with himself that day. Mr. Powell also asked himself who Zhang Wuji was, and he deduced that he was an old friend of his hometown, and he and Lu Xihua might be fellow countrymen. Powell also looked envious, saying that he could have more parties in the future, and it seemed that Lu Xihua could also do magic, and Powell's wife was amazed. Looks like I should pay a visit.

Zhou Hexuan made up his mind and walked downstairs, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Meng Xiaodong's voice behind him, "Brother Zhou, do you want to go out?"

Zhou Hexuan has recently been in the red luan, since Meng Xiaodong expressed his willingness to be his concubine, Zhang Leyi rushed over from Lushan without receiving his letter, plus Wanrong, Zhou Hexuan's head was big. Hearing Meng Xiaodong's words at the moment, I thought that Lu Xihua's family still had a sister, this woman and woman had better talk, let Xiaodong go to the bottom, Xiaodong is only 17 years old, gentle in nature, from a civilian background, and will definitely be able to catch up with the line.

Zhou Hexuan waved his hand, "I'm going to see an important friend today, you can go with me." ”

When Meng Xiaodong heard Zhou Hexuan's words, he was overjoyed, Brother Zhou took himself with him when he went out to see his friends, did that mean that he accepted himself, and said a little embarrassedly, "Wouldn't it be inconvenient, Brother Zhou's friends are all celebrities." ”

Zhou Hexuan waved his hand, "It's okay, he and I are just friends, and today is the first time we met." ”

Meng Xiaodong nodded, since Brother Zhou said so, then there must be no problem. After changing their clothes at the moment, the two went out to get in the car and went to the British Concession.

Below the French Concession is the British Concession, not far away, and when the two of them arrived at Lu Xihua's house, they asked the helper to find out that Lu Xihua was not at home, and his sister was not there. After asking where Lu Xihua was, the two walked towards Victoria Park with suspicions.

Before arriving at the park, I saw a huge white sun umbrella on the side of the road from a distance, and under the sun umbrella was a snow-white dining table, and the warm sunlight shone on the sun umbrella, like a white flower blooming on the edge of the green park, which was very eye-catching.

The strangest thing is the dining table, which has a thin round hole in the middle, and the sun umbrella is inserted into it, which not only shades the sun but does not affect people eating under the umbrella. Several foreign women sat under parasols, drinking drinks, eating, talking and laughing. The dining table is very separated from the dining table, and there is a half-high bush in the middle, and once you sit down, you can hardly see the other tables, and the privacy is very good, but it is only the appearance of five or six tables.

The air is filled with the sweetness of bread and the rich smell of wheat. Meng Xiaodong excitedly took Zhou Hexuan's hand and said, "Brother Zhou, this Mr. Lu is so smart, he actually built such a place to eat on the edge of the park, which is really a good place to drink tea." ”

Zhou Hexuan nodded in agreement with a smile, he vaguely remembered the familiar sun umbrella on the side of the road in that world, and the sun umbrella in his memory would read: 138, 100 megabits broadband to take home. And this is blank above.

"Welcome, the little shop is newly opened. Today, Master Zhou is here, and I will invite you two to taste the new dishes of our restaurant. A voice came from the front.

Zhou Hexuan looked up and saw Lu Xihua's big bald head, he was wearing an apron, wearing a white chef's uniform, and a red scarf on his collar, standing there with a smile, looking at the two of them.

Meng Xiaodong looked at Lu Xihua's strange dress, and couldn't hold back for a while, and burst out laughing.
