Chapter 15 Kiln Sweet Potatoes Together
At the back of the school there are a lot of broken tiles that others renovate the roof and throw here. This kind is most suitable for building a kiln, and some people build it with soil blocks, but Liu Yao prefers to use tiles.

When the fire is on, the tiles will slowly turn red, and the sweet potatoes inside will continue to bake like a piece of charcoal.

Liu Yao and Yingzi found two bags to put the tiles in, and found two broken bricks to build the gate.

I filled two big bags and carried them back to the river,

The others haven't come back yet, Liu Yao suggested to build the kiln first.

First a hole was dug down, and then the soil near the hole was leveled.

First place the bricks for the gate.

Location is also important.The gate must be with the wind and not against the wind, otherwise if the wind is against the wind, the fire will be ignited later, and the thick smoke will be thrown on my face.

Place the gate, and then use the tiles to place a circle along the dug hole.

Put away the first layer of tiles and prepare for the second layer.

This is a test of patience, and it will collapse if you don't put it carefully.

The tiles of the second layer have to be placed on the gap between the two tiles of the first layer, and the circle has to be gradually reduced.

This is the case for each layer, until the hole slowly shrinks until there is nothing.

In this way, a hemispherical hollow tile kiln is obtained.

The sweet potato diggers and firewood collectors also came back.

Liu Yao picked up a handful of hay, lit it with a match, and stuffed it into the hole.

Suddenly, smoke floated out from the cracks in the tiles.

After the fire ignites, put some smaller branches in it, and wait for the fire to grow, and then enlarge the branches.

Large branches are easier to burn into charcoal, which can play a better role in heat preservation.

The fire burned for almost half an hour, and the tiles were already red.

At this time, the tiles on the roof of the kiln were lifted to reveal a hole.

Put the sweet potatoes into the hole, then close the two bricks of the gate, and then knock down all the tiles.

The tiles are pressed on top of the sweet potatoes.

Several children immediately worked hard to cover the tiles with sand, and buried the tiles tightly with sand.

When the sand is thick enough to touch with your hands, you won't feel the temperature.Smoke will not come out from the gaps in the sand even if the cover is tight.

The next step is the waiting time, about an hour or two will do, depending on the size of the sweet potatoes put in.

If it is too big, the time will be longer, and if it is too small, the time will be shorter. Try to choose the same size, otherwise the big ones are not cooked yet, and the small ones will turn into charcoal, which is not good.

The few people were quite bored when they were idle, so they fumbled for screws, clams, snails and other things in the river.

There is also a big apple snail in the river, but it is not edible, and it is usually picked up for chickens and ducks.

Liu Yao basically never refuses anyone who comes, and puts everything in the bag when she touches it.

After a while, they partnered up to touch a big bag, which contained everything, and several super-large apple snails.

"I don't want the rest, I'll take this apple snail back and feed it to the chicken," Liu Yao said.

I caught a lot before, and I didn't want to eat it after frying it for a few meals, so I had to cut my tail again.

"My family also has some, share it with the rest of you." Yingzi said.

"Then give it all to Wenyan, he definitely doesn't have any dishes to go with it now, and he can fry these vomit sands several times."

So they decided to give Fang Wenyan all the snails, and they were moved to tears again, like a little milk dog.

Only then did Liu Yao take a closer look at Fang Wenyan's appearance.

Thin and small, wearing half-new clothes, a little baggy when he is bigger.

But the skin is really white, and he always lowered his head before.

Looking at it now, isn't she a super cute lady!
The big eyes are watery, the eyelashes are like two big black fans, and there are still some teardrops hanging on them at this time, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are thin, which may be the reason of blood loss, and there is no color.

The face has lost the baby fat and is beginning to show a slightly angular jawline.

Eyes that seem to be talking are looking at Liu Yao at this moment.

Immediately hit Liu Yao's heart, this is too cute!

Although Liu Yao has the appearance of a little lolita, she is indeed the soul of an old aunt in her heart, and she suddenly feels that her mother's love is overwhelming.

No, too thin.I have to feed and feed him well, and strive to make him fat and white.

The cute little Liu Yu next to her didn't know that her sister wanted to share her love with others, so she was foolishly playing with sand sculptures.

There's no way, my younger brother keeps running outside, tanned, covering everything.Where is Fang Wenyan's whiteness, tenderness and cuteness?

"It should be almost boring, let's dig sweet potatoes." Lili suggested.

A few people started to plan the sand with branches again, and lifted the hot tiles aside, revealing the black and hot sweet potatoes.

Liu Yao endured the heat, picked out all the sweet potatoes, searched carefully to make sure nothing was missed, then poured river water to extinguish the burning charcoal inside.

Counting, there are a total of twelve sweet potatoes, two for each person.

Everyone silently distributed the two biggest ones to Fang Wenyan, and everyone else took the smaller ones.

Regardless of the hot hands, he started peeling.

Gently peel off the dark skin, revealing the orange flesh inside.

Liu Yao blew and handed it to her younger brother.Peeled another one myself.

Soft and glutinous, but also very sweet.Super fragrant!
Fang Wenyan also peeled off the skin of the sweet potato, but felt that his sweet potato seemed a bit hard.

I took a bite, it was quite soft and delicious, and I took another bite, it was hard and crunchy, not cooked yet!

bah bah bah!
Several people looked over and saw that Fang Wenyan was holding the biggest sweet potato, one side was cooked and the other side was still raw.

It seems that the boring time is not enough, and the outside side is not yet cooked.

Seeing Fang Wenyan's tangled expression, everyone laughed happily.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't eat the uncooked ones, eat the cooked ones. I'll give you another one." Liu Yao said.

"No, no, the cooked side can still be eaten, I'm big."

Fang Wenyan waved his hand and refused.

Liu Yao couldn't help but stuff one of them to him.

"You see you are so thin, eat more. Otherwise, it will be bad if you don't grow taller."

After speaking, she looked at him with an undeniable expression.

Fang Wenyan silently accepted the sweet potato, and tears filled his eyes again.

Why does this little kid love to cry so much!

Several people happily finished eating sweet potatoes, and went back to their respective homes.

And agreed to go hide and seek together under the banyan tree at night.

Liu Yao hasn't played this kind of game for a long time, and her enthusiasm is very high.

When I used to play hide-and-seek, I didn't care that there might be snakes in the grass. I put a cat in the grass and covered it with some leaves, so that people could find it all night.

Liu Yao and Fang Wenyan were on the same road, and the three walked together talking and laughing.Liu Yao also wanted to carry the bag for Fang Wenyan, but he refused.

After all, I am a boy, how can I let a girl carry things for me.

Fang Wenyan returned home, put all the snails in the bag into the bucket and spit sand.

I touched my belly, it was quite full.You can save lunch today.

He picked up water and watered the vegetable field at the door.

When these vegetables grow to ten centimeters high, my father should send me money.
