Eight zero peasant girl

Chapter 110 The first batch of bricks
Meng Tang scratched her head and explained: "Yes. I was lying on the bed last night, I thought about it for a long time, and felt that the timing of the powder mist was very strange."

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Liang and I were trapped on the mountain by heavy rain before. It seemed that there was fog that night, but because of the rain, the fog was not very heavy, and there was no powder fog. But last night the fog was very heavy. I remember the book said 'fog barrier' It is because the fog is too large, which affects the mountain environment and produces poisonous fog. If there is no exception, there should be many decayed animal corpses in the cave."

Old man Song retorted: "Impossible. There are no animals on the mountain. Where did the corpse come from?"

It's not that he doesn't know about the mountain in her house. Birds don't shit, and there are many poisonous snakes. Although he doesn't know why the poisonous snakes suddenly disappeared, it can't be caused by ferocious animals.

Could the powder mist be intentional by that person yesterday?
"There are no weeds in the mountains, and ghosts are also incapable. The formation of a mountain, in addition to flowers and trees, must be accompanied by birds and animals. Maybe it has, but we don't know."

How can there be a shortage of wild birds in the mountains?
Seeing Meng Tang chattering, old man Song changed the subject impatiently: "Girl, where are your parents?"

In the dark, God has his own arrangement, as long as it is beneficial to the village and does not harm the villagers!

The speculation is just pointless and groundless.

"They're going to the brick factory!"

"You stay at home honestly, and I will go to the brick factory."

"Master, I think we still have to go to the mountain again, and some doubts must be resolved."

Where is the broken arm?

Was it buried by the murderer or was there another reason?

Who is the murderer?What happened to the powder mist?

All kinds of mysteries seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are layered one after another. Only by solving the bottom layer can the secrets be revealed step by step.

I still have lingering fears about what happened last night, old man Song resolutely refused: "No, you want to fool the old man again?"

"Master, how about I accompany you to the brick factory first, and then invite you to follow me to the mountain, okay?"

"You have to go up the mountain?"

The little girl didn't understand at all, she didn't hear the rejection in his words.

The mountain is high and steep, difficult to climb and difficult to descend!

"Well, since I want to open up wasteland on the mountain, I must find out the secrets in the mountain."

No wonder her uncle and aunt didn't strongly resist when her family was divided into a mountain. It turned out to be so difficult!
The upfront cost has been invested, and she also poured all her private money into it. If nothing is done in the end, she will burst into tears.

"Okay, but when you go up the mountain, you have to follow my instructions?"

"it is good!"

Zhou Liang who had been watching was surprised: "Aren't you taking me?"

The old man Song glanced at Zhou Liang in disgust, and told Meng Fang in a warm voice: "Girl Fang, you are so self-cultivated, I will come pick you up again at noon."

"Brother Liang, hurry up and go to school, or you'll be late!"

Old man Song looked at Meng Tang who was walking side by side, and frowned: "Why don't you go to school?"

"Skipping class!"

"Are you skipping class? No, hurry back to class."

Listening to the master's reprimand, Meng Tang pouted and explained: "I asked for sick leave yesterday, and my academic performance is so good, even if I don't attend the class, I can still take the No. 1 exam."

No matter whether she attends class or not, she is No.1, but she can't be too curmudgeonly, she decides to give others a chance.

The two chatted and walked to the brick factory. Before entering, they felt a surge of heat.

“It would be nice to have air conditioning!”

"What?"

Meng Tang changed her mouth: "I don't know how the bricks are doing, when will the bricks be out?"

"I guess it only took these two days. If it succeeds once, I will be the first to thank you."

Smiling and pursing her lips, Meng Tang suggested: "Master, why don't we go in and have a look?"

"it is good!"

As soon as he entered the building, a gust of hot air rushed to his forehead, and Meng Tang reached out to help old man Song go inside.

The sifted soil, the clay pot for mixing the mud, the table top for drying, the brick kiln for firing bricks...

The raging fire was burning to a high degree, and through the noisy crowd, Meng Tang seemed to hear the rattling of red bricks being burned in the stove.

There are indeed many people working in the brick factory, but they all have their own division of labor, and everyone is busy with the task at hand.

The two walked around the brick factory and were about to leave when they heard lively shouts from the deepest part.

"Bricks are out!"

Hearing the excited voice of the villagers, Meng Tang signaled: "Master, do you want to take a look?"

"Look."

Following behind the team, she came to a brick kiln that was extinguished. Looking up at the large brick kiln with a height of two or three meters, Meng Tang swallowed nervously.

It must be a good start!
After the bricks are completely dry, they are placed in a brick kiln. After dozens of days of firing, the bricks are sintered and firm. At this time, the fire is slowly turned off, and the outside air enters the kiln. After the temperature cools down, the bricks can be collected.

There are a total of three brick kilns in the brick factory. This is the first batch of bricks, which play a very important role. If you have a foundation at the beginning, you will have more experience later.

Meng Tang covered her mouth and stared at the worker putting on gloves without blinking her big round eyes.

The exciting moment is here!
"Cough, cough, cough!"

The first reaction to taking the bricks was not excitement but a violent cough. The choking brick ash floated in the air, and everyone couldn't help covering their noses.

"It's done!"

Choked to the point of tears, the exciting voice exploded in my ears.

Dingqing looked at the red brick held high above her head, and Meng Tang shed tears in excitement.

The rectangular red bricks were glowing with heat, and the smell of burnt soil could still be vaguely smelled. The villagers at the scene were crying and laughing around the red bricks.

They made it!
slap~
One of the staff who lifted the bricks accidentally dropped the red brick on the ground, and the scene was suddenly silent, but their eyes fell on the solid, undamaged red brick, and it boiled for a while.

Song Xiangyang staggered to the brick kiln, held up the bricks excitedly, and said excitedly: "Comrades, the first batch of bricks fired in Songzhai was very successful, which means that everyone's efforts were not in vain. It doesn’t take half a year for everyone to recover their capital and make a lot of money.”

"Make money! Make big money!"

"Folks, everyone must work together and continue to work hard."

"it is good!"

Taking advantage of the cheers of the crowd, Meng Tang and old man Song slowly exited the brick factory and walked up the mountain with smiles on their faces.

"Master, we will definitely become the largest village in the county."

She remembered that it was written in the history books that all the first batch of businessmen who ate crabs in the 80s were extremely rich.

The small brick factory is small in scale, but the benefits it brings are more than that.

In the 80s, the economy developed rapidly. All provinces and cities must vigorously develop their economies. They cannot do without shops and houses. As long as houses are built, bricks are needed. They have already achieved great advantages.

The first batch of bricks came out of the kiln, and the color was good. Old man Song was very excited, and he had already walked halfway up the mountain before feeling tired.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the twigs and weeds that were overwhelmed when he ran away in a hurry last night, and offered to propose: "Tangtang, you said earlier that there is an inconspicuous cave on the mountain, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Okay, I suspect that there is a lot in the cave."
