Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 64: There is light in my sister-in-law’s eyes (please read more)

Xu Deyong said: "You find a piece of waste paper and a pencil and I will draw it."

The other party was also very quick and quickly found a piece of scrap newspaper and half a pencil stub.

Xu Deyong took into account the various sizes of briquettes and other materials, and quickly drew the kind of cast iron briquette and coal stove used in later generations, and also marked the dimensions.

The staff looked at it and said: "Hey, comrade, your painting is really good, it looks decent. It's similar to a foreign stove. It only needs to change a few places. It can be done, but you have to pay a deposit of two yuan first, and you have to wait." It will take three to five days. We won’t know the exact price until we do it. It won’t be more than five yuan, and the chimney is extra.”

Hey, the price is really not cheap. Even if the stove costs four yuan, the stove-resistant chimney costs one yuan per section. It requires at least three sections, which adds up to seven yuan.

No wonder many people would rather suffer the smoke than use a chimney stove, it’s so expensive!

Not to mention the sugar-porcelain chimneys used by rich people, which cost three or four yuan each.

Since I bought the stove, I didn’t need to remove the briquettes from the moulds, so I bought them all together.

Grocery stores still don’t have them, so they simply let us make them together, which costs more than a dollar each.

There are also sleeve tiles in the stove.

After he asked the staff, the staff recommended to him the "Longgong Road White Furnace Shop" near Jiaodaokou. There are various furnaces made of refractory clay. The furnaces can be fired, and sleeve furnace tiles are also suitable.

Xu Deyong followed his instructions and went over on his bike. He told the size requirements and asked for the best fire resistance. The other party asked for a price of [-] cents.

Xu Deyong did not counter-offer and paid a deposit of [-] cents, which he would pick up five days later.

I haven't even bought the coal yet, and I've almost spent ten yuan on it.

Xu Deyong couldn't help but smacked his lips and pretended that the money had never come. After all, it was the rich woman's money.

After spending this money, if the money from the wooden tower clock does not come back, the cash on him will drop to less than ten yuan, but he has already saved a lot of things in the blind box space unknowingly.

Rejoice!
Just go back and take the stove home, and grandma will definitely have to touch the broom again.

Well, the sources of the money have been compiled, the money from "clock repair", the money from soliciting customers these days, plus the money I "saved".

That’s it, I won’t have to spend a penny by then!

After collecting the documents, Xu Deyong turned around and went home.

At this time, the entrance to the courtyard was quite lively. Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang were each whipping their tops into the air.

Compete with each other and have to touch each other.

There were many onlookers around, and Xiao Banggeng was sitting on the door post holding a spinning top in his hand, looking at the excitement for a while and at the entrance of the alley.

The steel balls haven’t come yet!
He also wants to smoke a top, although he doesn't seem to be good at it yet.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way of the door." Xu Deyong shouted arrogantly like a "bad young man".

A group of half-grown men suddenly shouted as if they had seen the "boss": "Brother Deyong!"

"Deyong, brother!"

"Brother Yong!"

……

The road was opened as if by the tide.

Xu Deyong blinked, when did he become the king of children?

I haven't even taken out my gun yet, and you're all surrendering?
To be honest, he couldn't even name some children in the alley.

Hey, it’s so easy and there’s no sense of accomplishment at all!
Xiaobanggan also stood up and said loudly: "Deyong..."

"Hmm...?" Xu Deyong glared.

Xiaobanggan was immediately frightened and said in a small voice: "Uncle..."

Xu Deyong successfully suppressed the future "Thief Saint", and his sense of accomplishment was +1.

"Yeah." Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Isn't your butt cold when you sit on the door pillar?"

"Not enough." Xiaobanggan blinked his little eyes and said.

Okay, this silly kid, just keep sitting, your butt and balls will definitely be cold!
He moved the car into the yard and ignored the noisy children outside.

Back home, Xu Nanshi saw Xu Deyong coming back empty-handed, so she smiled and said, "Did you give the clock to someone?"

"Yeah." Xu Deyong took off his hat and gloves and threw them on the bed.

"What about the money?"

"I ordered a briquette stove."

"It's all spent?"

"Ah!" Xu Nan said in pain: "Why is the stove so expensive? Just waste your money."

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "You will know how useful it is later."

Xu Nanshi muttered: "I think this iron stove is very good. It has been used for many years..."

Yes, the old lady started nagging again.

Xu Deyong's left ear went in and the right ear came out. While thinking about pressing the window tomorrow, he also thought about where to open the chimney later...

In the evening, my grandma made "gá". She mixed corn flour with white flour in a certain proportion, put it in a basin and scalded it with boiling water, then broke it into cubes, then cut it into thin slices with a knife, patted it hard and smoothed the surface. , cut into four cubes like "dice", sprinkle with thin noodles and shake back and forth in a basin.

After shaking, put it in a pot of boiling water, cook it and take it out. Mix the water with hot sesame sauce and other condiments and eat it while it's hot.

"Zi Liu Zi Liu" After two bowls, my whole body felt warm.

Comfortable!

After Xu Nan finished her meal, she cleaned up and went back to the cubicle to listen to the opera. No electricity was needed. As long as the radio station didn't have a power outage, she could still listen to it even if there was a power outage in the courtyard.

Hey, in an era without entertainment, what's the point of making a baby at night if you don't feel shameless?

In future generations, if a person holds a mobile phone and "哏哏哏", he will be mentally satisfied and have no children.

In fact, the country had already promoted birth control at this time, but it was only promoted verbally and not publicly.

After all, the external environment is not peaceful at this time. Only with more people can we have greater strength!

……

the twelfth lunar month.

The wax one is connected, and the new one is handed over to the old one, so the big sacrifice is to repay the merits.

The original meaning of "La" is "dried meat". The weather in this month is most suitable for drying and making cured meats, so it is called the "Twelfth Moon".

There are more than 30 other names for it, which may be related to the fact that the ancients were very free this month.

After Xu Deyong finished his exercise, the blind box responded to the situation and opened two pieces of bacon, each weighing almost two kilograms.

Hey, take out a piece during the Chinese New Year and fry the bacon. It will be fragrant!

After breakfast, the yard became quiet. Those who went to work and those who went to school were left with young and old women at home to take care of their children.

Soon there was a sound of "bang bang bang" in the courtyard.

An exception is the replacement of windows. It is not festive to replace the red windows with the Chinese New Year.

Yan Jiekuang and Xiaobanggan became Xu Deyong's loyal audience, standing not far away and watching.

Xiao Banggeng finally got the steel ball top he longed for, but unfortunately he couldn't draw it well.

Yan Jiekuang wanted to play, but he didn't let him play.

Hey, I just won’t give it!

Yan Jiekuang's teeth were itching in anger, but he could only continue to itch due to Jia Zhang's power.

Mrs. Jia Zhang felt annoyed, so she took the soles she was collecting and said angrily to Qin Huairu: "Look at it, I'm going out. I won't let anyone live in peace so early in the morning. I'll tear down my own home." !”

"Yes, I understand." Qin Huairu agreed.

Jia Zhang's eyes were piercing with needles, and she warned in a low voice: "Don't talk to him less, don't spread any rumors back and ruin your reputation."

After that, he shook his butt like a hen that had finished laying eggs and left without looking back.

Qin Huairu was left standing there aggrievedly.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She bit her lip, her eyes sparkling.

Xu Deyong took off an old window and glanced at Qin Huairu casually.

Hey, Sister-in-law Qin’s eyes are bright!
……

Xu Deyong spent half of noon to straighten the windows and clean the inside and outside of the house.

Light filtered in from outside, making the house much brighter.

When Xu Nan came back from outside, she was very satisfied when she saw the red window, but then she frowned and said: "This glass is too transparent. If there is a moon at night, it will be too bright, so I'd better cover it with paper!"

Xu Deyong: "..."
