Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 79 The watch was lost
The five boys happily went home carrying candies and washing their hands.

Then, the two boys of the Yan family were ordered by me to sweep up the cinders that fell at the door...

Xu Deyong casually took off his watch and put it into his trouser pocket, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to put on the protective sleeve.

I bought the stove and sleeve protective tiles, but they are not well sealed and not easy to burn.

Use a small shovel to add water to the refractory soil and mix it evenly into mud. Use the mud to fix the furnace tiles, and fill the space between the furnace wall and the protective tiles with furnace ash.

Then use refractory clay to block the ring, and then cover it cleanly. This not only prevents the furnace tiles from scorching, but also seals the fire for a long time, starts the fire quickly, and has high firepower.

After the mud is in the furnace, insert the iron wire into the mud on the inner wall of the furnace, insert it all the way to the bottom and then pull it out.This leaves many small holes in the furnace wall, so that even if it is burned with strong fire for a long time, the furnace will not crack...

In the same way, Xu Deyong did everything in an orderly manner.

The three elders in the courtyard came over to watch, and naturally there were others.

Xiaobangjie squatted on the ground, watching Xu Deyong "playing with mud" eager to try.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked thoughtful.

Yan Bugui's eyes shrewdly said: "Deyong, what else are you particular about doing this?"

"No!" Xu Deyong said without raising his head: "I heard that the installation of the sleeve and protective tiles is the key. If it is not done well, the stove will not be useful."

Liu Haizhong put his hands behind his back and said in a tone: "Well, this is similar to the principle of our Tangluozi."

Xu Deyong echoed: "The second uncle has a keen eye."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but ask again: "Is this stove really as energy-efficient as you say?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "What you said is really true. You have to use it. This is also the first time for our family to have a fire."

Yan Bugui said: "Hey, Deyong give us a try. It would be a great thing if it really saves coal and trouble."

Others also whispered, not optimistic about Xu Deyong's burning briquettes stove. After all, everyone burns briquettes, are you different?

The emergence of new things is always accompanied by controversy.

He Yuzhu put his hands on his sleeves and said with a grin: "Deyong, you are just doing this flower work. If it is not easy to burn, I will see if all these things of yours are in vain."

Jia Zhang curled her lips in the crowd and whispered to Jia Dongxu: "It must not be easy to use, otherwise people wouldn't have used it earlier? Don't look at it, ask your wife to go home and cook."

Qin Huairu was watching Xiaobanggan in front of the crowd, fearing that he would go up and cause trouble to Xu Deyong.

Jia Dongxu nodded and said: "I think that's the case too. This guy will have to burn the briquettes back later."

After speaking, he stepped forward to call Qin Huairu back.

At this time, Xu Deyong set up the stove, stood up with his palms facing up and said: "Zhuzi, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Even if the briquettes are not easy to burn, my stove can still burn briquettes. These things are real iron things." , how can I say it in vain..."

Xu Nanshi also had the same worries and felt much more relaxed after hearing this.

"Snapped."

While Xu Deyong was speaking, a bright silver object fell from his pocket to the ground.

He squatted for a while and fiddled with the stove. When he got up, the watch he had put in his pocket fell off!

Xu Deyong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, Qiao damn opened the door for Qiao - Qiao arrived home.

But..., this watch has just been warm for a few days, so don't break it.

He quickly rubbed the mud on his hands, picked up the watch and looked at it. Fortunately, the watch chain landed first, so there was no big problem, and he put it back in his pocket.

Well, this time I even patted it to signal it to stay still!

Everyone's eyes widened at this moment, and the courtyard suddenly became quiet!
Xu Deyong asked: "Grandma, where do you think this stove is placed in the house?"

Xu Nanshi didn't feel very good. She blinked her eyes. Why did a watch fall out of her grandson's body?You weren't dazzled just now, were you?

It is true that watches are so precious nowadays, more expensive than bicycles!
These homes in the courtyard don’t even have bicycles, let alone watches!

Where is it?
Others had the same question.

Yan Bugui swallowed and said, "Deyong, was that a watch just now?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes and asked.

Yi Zhonghai said solemnly with a straight face: "What else is going on? How much does a watch cost and where did you get it?"

Xu Deyong said truthfully: "It was given by someone else." As soon as he said this, everyone started talking.

Jia Zhang finally caught the opportunity and said angrily: "Gangqing, why didn't anyone give me a watch? Not to mention the watch didn't even have a pickle."

Xu Deyong said calmly: "Aunt Jia, no one even gave me a pickle. Should you look for the reason in yourself?"

"Hey, what do you mean?" Jia Zhang felt humiliated.

Xu Nanshi stared and said, "Zhang Xiaocao, do you have the right to speak here?"

With a swollen belly in his bangs, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Deyong, don't worry about that for now. A watch is not a trivial matter. I think you should tell the truth."

Xu Deyong squinted his eyes and said with a conceited look: "Hey, why, the three uncles are going to have a three-court trial today!"

Yan Bugui's eyes flashed and he said, "Deyong, we didn't mean that. It's just that some things are unclear and can easily cause misunderstandings. Don't you think so?"

Xu Deyong shrugged and said, "I told you that the watch was given by someone else. If you don't believe it, then I can't help it."

After that, he picked up the stove and walked home.

"Xu Deyong!" Yi Zhonghai said solemnly: "Is this your irresponsible explanation?"

Xu Deyong stopped and turned around, his gaze not wavering at all and said: "Master, this is not an explanation, and there is no need to explain! You are just asking, and I tell you, this is my private matter, be careful not to be too lenient and you will not step down!" "

"You..." Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists angrily.

Liu Haizhong shouted: "Xu Deyong, I think you have no respect for our three uncles at all, you are simply disrespectful!"

Yan Bugui's eyes rolled around and he said, "Deyong, why is this happening?"

Xu Deyong carried the stove and walked home without looking back: "The third uncle is right, no matter what, it's already dinner time. Let's go back to each house and find our mothers to go home for dinner!"

Yan Bugui quickly explained: "Lao Yi, that's not what I meant."

Xu Deyong entered the room, and Xu Nanshi said a little irritably: "Why are you still standing here? You want our family to take care of the food!"

After saying that, she quickly entered the house. She was also full of questions!

The others just watched the excitement. After all, whether Xu Deyong had a watch or not had little to do with them. After hearing this, they just talked in twos and threes and dispersed.

A hint of complexity flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes, and she picked up the little stick who wanted to play with Xu Deyong's leftover mud and went home.

The three uncles looked at each other, Yi Zhonghai signaled, and the three of them walked towards his home.

As the boss in charge, I must figure this out!

He Yuzhu smiled heartlessly: "Hey, this is getting interesting!"

At this time, He Yuyu led two little girls about her age in.

He Yuzhu looked at the people dispersed, walked up to He Yuzhu and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother, what happened just now?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said: "Of course something big happened. A watch fell off Xu Deyong's body just now. Do you think it's strange or not?"

He Yuyu asked in surprise: "Ah, did Brother Deyong buy a watch? It's amazing. What brand did you buy?"

He Yuzhu curled his lips and said: "Yes, he is the best. The key point is that the three uncles now suspect that he did not buy the watch. He said that it was given by others. Hey, who is so generous, give me one someday."

He Yuyu automatically ignored his brother's last sentence and frowned: "What should we do?"

"What should I do?" He Yuzhu sneered and said, "Hey, it's cool. Who are these two?"

His eyes fell on the two little girls following He Yuyu.

The one on the left is quite pretty, but he is a bit younger. I wonder if he has an older sister at home...

"Oh." He Yuyu came to his senses and said, "This is my classmates Zhang Shuqin and Yu Haitang. They came with me this time... They want Brother Deyong to make a pair of clay skates through me..."

He Yuzhu grinned and said: "Don't think about it. How can Xu Deyong still have the heart to make clay skates for you now? You came at the wrong time."

Hearing this, Yu Haitang said in a clear voice: "Yu Yu, if that's the case, let's go back first, and we'll talk about it later when we have a chance."

Zhang Shuqin revealed a pair of tiger fangs as she spoke: "Haitang is right, let's go back first."

"Okay then." He Yuyu said a little frustrated: "Brother Deyong is actually quite nice."
