Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 61 Honeysuckle Dew
Fanyang, Fanyue, and Fanyu also made bricks into shapes. They made about fifty mud bricks and put them aside to dry.

After finishing their work, they stared at Xie Fanxing's barbecue one by one, looking greedy.

Seeing this, Xie Fanxing asked them to carry the table out of the main room so that they could have barbecue in the backyard.

In addition, Fanchen also mixed a cup of honey silkworm tea that he made before, so that he can eat barbecue later, and drink honey silkworm tea when he is thirsty.

Xie Fanxing roasted a lot of vegetables, and when they were almost done, the hare and pheasant had also been roasted for a long time, and she also sprinkled seasoning on them a few times in the middle.

Xie Fanxing cut the meat of the hare and pheasant with a knife. Seeing that the meat inside was cooked, she asked Fanyang to take the hare and pheasant off the wooden stick and put them on the table. She also finished the last ten skewers Vegetables are ready to eat.

"Okay, let's eat." After roasting the last ten skewers of vegetables, all the barbecue was put on the table, everyone sat down, and Xie Fanxing gave an order, and she started to take her favorite barbecue.

There was no staple food today, all they ate was barbecue, so not only the hare and pheasant were roasted, Xie Fanxing also roasted a lot of vegetables, and four eggplants with mashed garlic, which was very generous.

"This roasted garlic eggplant is really delicious. The meat inside the eggplant melts in your mouth, with the aroma of garlic. It's so delicious." When Fanchen encountered food, he instantly became a foodie and talked more.

"Roasted pinto beans, crunchy and sweet."

"Roasted jalapenos are delicious too."

"I think the spices that the elder sister made are delicious."

However, while eating, Xie Fanxing found out that everyone only ate vegetarian skewers, and did not reach out to eat roasted chicken and roasted rabbits.

She knows that Fanchen likes to be vegetarian, and she can understand that she doesn't eat roast chicken and roast rabbit. Others don't eat it, which makes Xie Fanxing a little surprised.

Xie Fanxing looked at his younger siblings, and then she knew that they were all humbly letting each other eat rabbit legs and chicken legs, and let the other party take the first, so they didn't move.

"You have one chicken leg, you are the youngest, everyone must be humble to you, and the other chicken leg is left for Fanyang, you hunt down the hare and pheasant, you are the hero, and you are rewarded.

There are many rabbit legs, and you earn the most money for the family. In the past, food and drink were bought with the money you earned.

The last rabbit leg is for myself. The eldest sister is busy cooking for you every day. After busy work, it’s okay to eat a rabbit leg! Seeing this, Xie Fanxing tore off the chicken legs and rabbit legs one by one and gave them to everyone, and also explained the reason.

Xie Fanxing also tore apart the tested pheasant and hare meat, so that each of them could eat them.

"I have no objection. In the future, I will divide it as my elder sister says. I will listen to my elder sister." Xie Fanyang was the first to express his opinion.

"I also listen to my elder sister." Xie Fanyue followed closely.

"It's what the elder sister says." Xie Fanchen lowered his head and said, eating the grilled eggplant vigorously.

"I also listen to the eldest sister." Xie Fanwen, who shared the chicken leg, raised his hand happily.

That look was like an obedient elementary school student, so cute that Xie Fanxing couldn't help pinching his cheek.

"Big Sister Fanchen doesn't eat rabbit legs, I'll give you some." Xie Fanxing said, holding the rabbit legs in her bowl to Fanchen.

"Eldest sister, you are partial, I am younger than third sister, why don't you give me your rabbit leg to eat." Xie Fanri was a little resentful when his elder sister gave his third sister her rabbit leg to eat Glancing at his eldest sister, he asked.

"No! I'll eat it for you. There's nothing to say! Even if you have something to eat, you won't be able to stop your mouth. It's enough." Before Xie Fanxing could speak, Fanchen took the rabbit leg in her bowl and gave it to him. The busy days are gone.

On the contrary, Fan Ri was a little embarrassed, he smiled and was not polite.

While eating barbecue, their siblings drank a sip of honey silkworm tea from time to time, and they had a very pleasant day.

.

The next day, Xie Fanxing got up and took a shower. She checked the bricks that she had made yesterday. Seeing that they had dried, Xie Fanxing immediately stacked these bricks at the bottom of the kiln, stacking them in an orderly manner to form an arch. Several layers of adobes are placed on the arch, and the adobes are put in one layer after another.

After placing the brick embryos on the brick kiln, you can ignite the fire and start burning bricks.

The kiln must be burned continuously without stopping the fire. When the layer of bricks on the top of the kiln is also burnt bright red, the fire is enough.

At this time, the fire can be extinguished, and the kiln door must be closed, and at the same time, a layer of soil is covered on the kiln roof, so that the red bricks and tiles continue to smolder in the kiln for a period of time.

After half a day of boring the kiln, the kiln began to blur.It is to soak the water from the covering soil on the top until every red-hot brick in the kiln is forced to cool down evenly.The smoky white gas from the top of the kiln was produced at this time.

The bricks and tiles must be stained so that they all turn blue, so that the compressive strength can be increased.Ancient blue bricks were fired in this way.

If the kiln is not stained, the fired bricks will turn into red bricks after cooling naturally.

Red bricks can naturally be used to build houses, but red bricks are not as good as blue bricks in terms of appearance and compressive strength.

Of course, there are also skills in pouring water in the kiln. Every brick needs to be able to be contaminated with water. Therefore, the kiln would rather pour more water than less.

Otherwise, the kiln will stain the bricks into various colors, red, red, gray, gray, blue, blue, and the brick is still made of adobe. Then the kiln brick will be useless, and it will not work to return to the furnace and burn it again. Most of the time, it can only be thrown away. .

Easier said than done.

First of all, in such a hot weather, burning a lot of firewood to burn bricks would have been overwhelming and even heatstroke.

Xie Fanxing burned the firewood for a while, and then he was sweating profusely. It was their siblings who took turns to burn the fire, so they could resist.

Xie Fanxing was afraid that her younger siblings would suffer from heat stroke, so she thought that Fanchen had picked some honeysuckle back yesterday, and she planned to use the honeysuckle picked by Fanchen to make honeysuckle dew for them to drink to relieve the heat.

Honeysuckle is good at clearing and detoxifying blood. It is used for various febrile diseases, such as body heat, rash, spots, heat toxin sores, sore throat, etc., with remarkable effects.

When summer comes, drink more honeysuckle dew made of honeysuckle, which is naturally a must-have artifact for relieving the heat.

Xie Fanxing grabbed a handful of honeysuckle that Fanchen picked.

After soaking in water for a quarter of an hour, boil on high heat, and then slowly boil on low heat.

Boiling soup color becomes light yellow.

Xie Fanxing took out the gauze to filter out the honeysuckle, then sprinkled with sugar, and adjusted the sweetness, this simple version of honeysuckle dew was ready.

"Fanyang, Fanchen, don't look at the fire, come in with more firewood, now come and drink some honeysuckle dew to relieve the heat." Xie Fanxing made the honeysuckle dew, soaked it in cold water and let it cool, she called Fan Yang and Fanri came into the main room to drink honeysuckle dew.
