The ministers of infrastructure knelt down and begged the scientific research boss to be enthroned

Chapter 66
Fearing that Huixin would be caught in the fire if he did something in the kitchen, Wei Chenrui added: "Go up to the roof, from the edge, and lift off the roof of the entire kitchen."

As he said that, Wei Chenrui pulled the two of them out of the kitchen. At this time, the village chief's wife heard the movement and couldn't care less about catching chickens, so she hurried over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hey, what's the matter with that girl, what are you doing up the roof of my house?"

Afraid of causing misunderstandings, Wei Chenrui hurriedly explained: "Ma'am, the oil pan caught fire in the kitchen, and the flames are not small. If the roof is not lifted, the entire roof may be burned down, and the kitchen will not be able to keep it at that time."

The village chief was also relieved at this time, nodded and said: "Yes, the water can't be extinguished, but the fire is even bigger."

The village head's wife couldn't understand: "No, that pot is fine. I've used it for so many years without any accidents. Why did it catch fire?"

The village head was also very angry at this time: "Now I have to ask the good wife you picked. I don't know how she made the fire, but she even burned the pot!"

Brother Shun's daughter-in-law must have been frightened, she was in a daze, and didn't hear what the village chief said.

The village head's wife wouldn't let her go, and said sharply, "Brother Shun, daughter-in-law, the matchmaker praised you for cooking well. Once you marry, you will burn the kitchen down for cooking. Are you dissatisfied with the old woman?"

In this age of filial piety, daring to be disrespectful to grandmother is a serious crime, and they might be sent back to their natal family.

Brother Shun's daughter-in-law, who was scared in her heart, also came back to her senses, knelt on the ground with a plop, and tears stained her face after a while: "Grandma, I don't know why the pot caught fire!"

Wei Chenrui didn't want someone to be wronged in front of him, so he stood up and said something fair: "Master, Madam, I can probably guess why that pot caught fire."

"The oil pan will catch fire, the oil in the pan must reach a certain amount, and the fire under the pan must be high enough to allow the oil to burn, otherwise, the oil won't burn, and even if it does, it won't last long. "

"You granddaughter-in-law, I'm afraid you can't cook. The matchmaker must have lied."

After all, the matchmaker has to agree on cooking skills. Unless she talks nonsense, she should do some research and eat a meal cooked by a girl.

Knowing that they couldn't hide it, Brother Shun's daughter-in-law didn't wait for the village head's wife to ask questions, and hurriedly confessed: "Grandma, Mother Ru really can't cook, and the matchmaker didn't lie on purpose, it was all a coincidence, and my mother was afraid of telling the truth." , It ruined this good marriage, so I decided to keep it a secret."

The village chief's wife didn't intend to expose it, she wanted the granddaughter-in-law to explain clearly, but also took the opportunity to beat her: "Say it, tell me the whole story!"

Lies will always be exposed one day. In the two days since I got married, Ru Niang has not lived well. She makes excuses not to go to the kitchen every day, and because of this, she is often blamed and anxious. At that time, she was called to the kitchen Only then would he stare at Wei Chenrui.

It was completely exposed at this time, and Ru Niang also breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandma, it's like this."

"I learned embroidery from my grandma since I was a child. I have a pretty good talent, and the embroidered things can be sold for a few dollars. My mother was afraid that my cooking would make my hands thicker and scratch the silk threads and good materials. The things at home have never been done. Let me step in."

"When the matchmaker came to the door, it happened that my mother accidentally hurt her hand when she was mowing the grass, so she invited a cousin who is good at cooking to come over and help cook. I just went in and helped wash some vegetables, and waited for the cousin to cook. So I can help bring it to the living room, and the matchmaker will think I did it."

"When I learned that the matchmaker came to the door, my cousin wanted me to make a good impression on the matchmaker, so that I could find a good marriage in the future, and told me not to tell the truth. After I got married and had a child, I would tell the truth."

It's justifiable to say so, but it's just going with the flow, not the expiration of sincerity, and the anger of the village chief's daughter-in-law has subsided a little.

However, this is just one side of Ru Niang's words. The village chief's wife didn't fully believe it, so she said: "Since you said that the embroidery work is good, then you go into the room to get things, and take advantage of the time to put out the fire, and put them under my nose." Embroidery."

Ru Niang knew that this was to test her own ability, she was not lying, so she was not afraid in her heart, she wiped away her tears, stood up and said, "Then work hard, grandpa and grandma, to put out the fire, and Ru Niang goes to get the embroidery basket."

At this time, Huixin had already lifted the roof, An Shisan also tied up the horse, unloaded the carriage, heard the sound, and rushed over without thinking about feeding.

The village head and the village head's wife are not too young, Wei Chenrui dare not let them go in to put out the fire, seeing An Shisan approaching, he hurriedly greeted him: "San Shisan, go get a quilt from the car and wet the quilt with water , to put out the fire later.”

The oil pan catches fire, and the fire is so big that it cannot be poured with water at all. The splashed oil and water can directly burn off several layers of skin. In this age of underdeveloped medicine, we can only wait for death.

Pouring cold oil and filling soil are not good, the fire is too big to be close to, and the lid of the pot is made of wood, which is easy to be ignited, which is not advisable.

The only feasible way is to cover it directly with a wet quilt to isolate the air.

The temperature of the fire is still very high, and getting close will definitely damage the eyes. Wei Chenrui doesn't want to let anyone damage the eyes for this matter. The quilt was placed on top of the head, and under the prompting of others, he approached the pot step by step, accurately covered the pot with the wet quilt, and quickly adjusted the angle, so as to cover the entire pot without leaving a single gap.

Wei Chenrui was afraid that the old couple would take risks, so he explained the method to everyone while An Shisan was picking up the bedding.

Knowing that Wei Chenrui asked people to take the quilts to put out the fire, the village head's wife quit: "How can you do this? You are here as guests, so how can you use your quilts!"

The village head thought the same thing: "That's right, old woman, go get the bedding!"

The quilts of the farmhouse are all big, and we can't afford to lose them. Wei Chenrui hurriedly stopped him and said, "Ma'am, don't waste your things, not just any quilt will do, you must have a very dense quilt, otherwise there will be a big gap , will run out of breath, then the fire will not be extinguished."

A dense quilt is very valuable. Although the condition of the village chief's house is not bad, there are not many beds, so he hesitated.

Wei Chenrui took the opportunity to say again: "My family is in good condition, a quilt is nothing to me, just treat it as my reward for borrowing!"

"This..." the village chief still hesitated.

An Shisan moved quickly, hugged the quilt in a short while, and shouted: "Girl, I didn't see the water!"

Wei Chenrui hurriedly said: "There is water in the kitchen, go in and wet the bedding."

The roof has been lifted, and there is a place for the oily smoke to come out. There is not much gathering in the kitchen. An Shisan can still see it when he enters the kitchen.

According to Wei Chenrui's instructions, wet the quilt, put it on the head, walk to the pot step by step, cover the quilt with one hand, and cover all the gaps tightly with quick eyesight and hands.
