Chapter 325 Burning Charcoal
"Cousin, is this pit deep enough?"

Xi Bao raised his cat-like face and pointed to the triangular mud puddle at his feet.

Zhou Huan held his waist and straightened his body, "Enough is enough, we can't make it too big, and when this area smokes later, it will be thought that the woods are on fire, that's all."

So what is this for?

Sun Dazhuang unloaded the wooden block from his shoulders, walked to Zhu Wuliu's side and asked while playing with mud.

"Brother? What are we going to do? There are mosquitoes all around here. Look at how many bumps you have on your body."

"Xibao, why didn't you give your father some deworming medicine?"

Xibao was wronged, she didn't know that she had been working here for so long, and when she came out, her cousin didn't say anything.

It's okay for me to do nothing, just keep my head down and do it.

Zhu Wuliu wiped off his sweat, "Is the wood ready?

"Ready, what are you doing?"

"Burning charcoal."

Sun Dazhuang's eyes widened, my God, did he hear correctly, are they going to burn charcoal?Burning charcoal?

"It's right here? What are you burning it with?"

I haven’t seen it before, it’s very novel, Zhou Huan explained: “Use this trench kiln to cook. Let’s try to burn some of it first. If it succeeds, we will cook more in the evening. My aunt said that the charcoal stove is good for cooking. fragrant."

Listen, this girl used her brain to eat.

Sun Dazhuang looked at the two clay kilns the size of bumpkins in front of him. He had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs running. He saw that there was a flue at the back of the mud kiln, and a smoke exhaust hole in the front. Four rattan circles.

Kind of like that.

"Is it possible to use the mud by the river to make it solid?"

Zhou Huan nodded: "The mud kiln is all made of clay. The river is full of mud. Isn't this just natural clay? We're not making big kilns either. It doesn't matter if it's strong or not. If we can make it, we can carry it for a few days. The charcoal of the day becomes.

Sun Dazhuang's brain was spinning rapidly.

Charcoal, clay, well, the prototype in my mind is there.

I was studying left and right, and I heard Zhou Huan say: "Once it burns, it will be inseparable from people. Yuanbao and Sanliang are too small to stay here, and Brother Big Zhuang has to work as a waterwheel and can't stay here." Well, Xibao, go back and get rid of the herbs, brother Big Zhuang is right, there are really too many mosquitoes in the south."

Zhu Wuliu was on fire, so tired that he couldn't straighten up, he pulled Changyin and said: "Okay, I understand, then let's take turns guarding."

"I can't stay here."

Zhu Wuliu stared: "What? Then what do you mean? Leave me here by myself?"

Zhou Huan came forward with a smile, gave someone a thump on the back and said: "I still have to clean up the fish pond. The magistrate of the county has counted it this morning. Many people want to take this opportunity to raise fish fry. The prince asked me to do it." Help to see.

But don't worry, I will ask Xiaoman to come over to accompany you later, with such a small amount of charcoal, it is enough to burn for an hour, and we will take shifts at night for the rest. "

Understood.

Dare to Love Zhou Huan made a plan at the beginning to keep whoever he would not keep.

Just bully him as an idler, right?
Zhu Wuliu curled his lips, "Then there are Fatty Wang and the others, let them replace me!"

"No way—" Zhou Huan said in a good voice, "My Uncle Dade and the others are helping the soldiers, so we can't come."

Zhu Wuliu gasped, pinched his waist, and said, "What's the matter? Our hometown isn't doing well yet, and we came here to build for others?"

Zhou Huan spread his hands: "Isn't that what you said, help each other, learn more and see more, my Dade Zishu and the others will learn more and see more from me in a while."

The matter of raising fish in ponds is simple and easy to say, but it is also difficult to say.

First of all, we must pay attention to three things: fish ponds, fish species, and breeding.

Not all stinky ditches can raise fish. The depth, width and activity of the fish pond are very important.

In particular, they already have many fish ponds, although most of them are submerged, but the original depth is still there, so we can't dig ditches randomly before drainage.

First, those who do not have fish ponds themselves, but now want to apply to the government.

County magistrate Song came to the scene today with a pen official. If Huzi hadn't pointed it out to Zhou Huan, no one would have been able to tell that the old man with his trousers rolled up and inserted into the rice field was actually the county magistrate of Yuhang County.

"My lord, come on, girl."

When County Magistrate Song raised his head, the girl above her head was smiling sweetly.

"Hehe, it turned out to be Miss Zhou." Seeing that Zhou Huan was about to snatch the shovel from him, he didn't let go, and said, "Go and do your work. I can't do the things in your mind. What I can do is the rough work." , don’t rob me.”

Zhou Huan glanced around, but no one came to help, presumably they were all driven away by the old man.

After a while, Zhou Huan also borrowed a shovel to plan fish nests with Magistrate Song.

Seeing that County Magistrate Song was about to be pushed away, Zhou Huan said, "It was the Shizi who asked the women to clean up the fish pond. This is the first step."

In this case, County Magistrate Song didn't say anything.

The two of them worked silently for a while, and Zhou Huan asked, "My lord, what kind of fish did we raise in our fish ponds before?"

"Catfish, grass carp, crucian carp, carp, these are mostly."

"Are these fish raised separately, or are they kept in one place?"

County Magistrate Song straightened up and stretched his arms, "Put one kind in one place, so it's convenient when fishing."

Seeing that Zhou Huan remained silent for a while, Magistrate Song smiled, "What? Miss Zhou, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Not at all, Minnv has never raised fish before." Zhou Huan thought for a while and said, "I just heard a saying."

"Whatever you say, you might as well say it and listen."

Zhou Huan smiled and said, "I heard that if more than two types of fish are raised in the same pond, the fish in this pond will be fresher than those in a pond where only one type of fish is raised."

"Oh? What's that saying? I've never heard of it."

Zhou Huan stuck out her tongue, "Minnv also heard the story. Minnv thought that maybe the big fish would eat the small fish, and the small fish would swim fast. If they kept swimming like that, the flesh on their body would definitely be tenderer than that of a half-dead fish."

Saying that, Zhou Huan wiped his mouth.

County Magistrate Song was stunned in the pond.

After a while, Zhou Huan called out to someone several times before County Magistrate Song came back to his senses.

"Miss Zhou's method can be tried." County magistrate Song turned around, holding the shovel in both hands and thinking: "How about taking out a fish pond for comparison?"

"If that doesn't work..."

County magistrate Song waved his hand, "It's just a pond. My salary is not much, and it's more than enough to build a fish pond. Can it be worse than it is now? It's fine."

The two were talking, only to hear a call from a distance.

Zhu Wuliu stood on the bank of the river and waved vigorously.

His bald skin was drying by the river, and his throat was sore from the smoke. Fortunately, Zhou Huan chatted with the county magistrate here, bared a row of small white teeth, and chatted so happily.

Unfortunately, he still can't speak directly.

He could only gesture to Zhou Huan with his mouth dry.

"It's done! It's done!"
