Chapter 10 You are not having convulsions, you are really crazy!

In ancient times when they went to bed after dark, the Liu Changfu brothers were very curious about their mother's behavior.

"Mom, I'm done with the work in the field. I want to take my second and third sons with me to collect the pigs tomorrow. After completing your instructions, we'll go there again."

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Don't go harvesting pigs tomorrow. Changfu and Changlu. Come with me tomorrow morning with a shovel and a sack. Changshou, go to the north and dig ten baskets of yellow mud for me to transport home. There shouldn't be anything in it." Pebbles and leaf twigs.”

"The eldest daughter-in-law is cooking at home and taking care of Daya and Goudan, while the second daughter-in-law is taking Chang Huan and Chang Le to hunt pig grass."

The second daughter-in-law was not happy and said, "Mom, it's my turn to cook and take care of the children at home tomorrow, while my sister-in-law goes to hunt pig grass."

Although there is no leisure time at home, it is lighter than working outside.

Li Xiaoyue refused without hesitation. She liked that the eldest daughter-in-law was obedient and honest, and she also liked that the eldest daughter-in-law treated Daya and Goudan equally.

Unlike the second daughter-in-law who is at home and wants to shovel all the good things into her house, she can hide the eggs for each of the children and only give them to the dogs.

When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she grimaced, as if she was unhappy after her authority was challenged.

"I don't think your cooking tastes good. The taste of the same thing you make is no different from pig food. It's a waste."

"Now I'm thinking of a new way to make money. I'll have to work at home from now on and won't let you go to the fields. But during this period, you have to work hard for me. You can't even think about cheating or cheating when it's time to make summer clothes. .”

When the second daughter-in-law heard what her mother-in-law said, she quickly said: "Mom, don't be angry, I'm just saying. Who in our village doesn't know that you love your daughter-in-law?"

Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, thinking that she couldn't understand that it was an irony?
She was indeed not a good mother-in-law. She used the sin she suffered from her mother-in-law to suppress her daughter-in-law even more.

"Okay, let's just arrange it like this. Let's all go back and rest." Li Xiaoyue got up and went back to the house. She was a little anxious because she didn't find a way to make money.

Now that she has it, she can sleep peacefully tonight.

After a dreamless night, we had breakfast the next day and split up.

Under the leadership of Li Changan, an abandoned Shi Nie mine near Dongshan was found.

Large pieces of stone were dug away, leaving only fine coal powder piled at the bottom of the pit and around it.

Li Xiaoyue looked at it and saw that there were quite a few.

Liu Changfu saw his mother reaching out to grab the black coal powder and quickly stopped her, "Mom, Shi Nie is poisonous and can poison people."

Li Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to repeat what she said to convince Old Man Li yesterday, "...it'll be fine if you just use it in a ventilated place outside."

"I have two towels here. Cover your mouth and nose to prevent inhaling the dust. Put the coal powder into a sack. Let's go home."

She just checked and found that the pulverized coal here has few impurities, and was washed during mining, mixed with some yellow soil to increase the viscosity, and can be made into briquettes using the tools used to make briquettes.

After two trips back and forth, we loaded up ten sacks of pulverized coal, and the third child also dug out ten baskets of loess.

Now that iron is expensive, iron cannot be used to make stoves, so Li Xiaoyue decided to make a stoneware honeycomb briquette stove.

There is a family in Lihua Village that specializes in making stoneware basins and water tanks for civilian use.

Honeycomb briquettes have an inner pot and a coarse pottery outer shell. The middle is filled with vermiculite, and a layer of edge sealing is added on the outside to cover the rough pottery, inner pot and the vermiculite in the middle.

After getting the drawings, Old Man Zhou smiled and said, "Hey, Xiaoyue, are you making a Shi Nie furnace? Does your family want to make iron?"

Li Xiaoyue originally wanted to explain how to make the inner pot of briquettes. When Old Man Zhou asked, he knew that Old Man Zhou knew his stuff, "Yes, it's a Shinie stove, but it's very small. Can I make it?"

Old man Zhou smiled and said, "I can do it, but why are you doing this?"

Li Xiaoyue did not answer and avoided the topic, "It's useful anyway, so I won't tell Uncle Zhou yet. How long will it take to cook it? How much will it cost?"

Old Man Zhou figured it out. He had a good relationship with Old Man Li and didn't want to make too much. "Xiaoyue, the smallest kiln in my family needs to make at least twenty sets at a time. So one set costs at least sixty cents."

Li Xiaoyue thought for a while, "Then order one kiln and twenty sets. It must be according to the dimensions I mentioned above. Even if there is an error, it cannot be too big."

"Also, since the quantity is small now, I won't negotiate with you on price, but if I order more in the future, you have to give me a cheaper price."

Hearing this, Old Man Zhou's eyes lit up and he joked, "That's necessary. Your father and I have a good relationship. If I don't give you an advantage, will your father still whip me?"

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Make it well for me and make it strong and durable. The more Shi Nie stoves I make and sell, the more goods I will order from you."

Old man Zhou looked hesitant, "But this stone nirvana is poisonous..."

"It's fine to put it in the kitchen, not in a sealed room. The key is the briquettes I made. That's the key. I won't tell you more. It needs to be kept secret."

After giving the deposit, I left Old Man Zhou's house and went to Village Chief Li's house, saying that I wanted to spend money to buy the land in the Shi Nie Mine.

Village Chief Li, a lean old man, is Old Man Li's distant uncle and Li Xiaoyue's elder.

When he heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Xiaoyue, Liu Yunde is not a thing. If you two reconcile and divorce, you can live a good life. Why do you suddenly have a brain convulsion and want to buy that piece of land?"

Li Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she patiently explained, "I want to use stone nirvana powder to make briquettes for cooking."

When Village Chief Li heard this, he was even more outraged. He yelled loudly and said, "That thing is poisonous. My own brother was poisoned by Shi Nie. I think you either have a brain convulsion or you are crazy."

"I won't make the decision to sell it to you. Now go home and I'll go find your father tonight, lest I say a few words to you and you complain to your father and blame me."

In this way, Li Xiaoyue was driven away by the grumpy distant grandfather.

It is estimated that her father, Old Man Li, will come over in the evening and blame her for buying that piece of land.

Only after the briquette stove and briquette briquette stove are made and show good results can Old Man Li be persuaded to allow her to buy the land.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Xiaoyue picked up her bowl and prepared to have lunch, she heard the strong footsteps of Old Man Li.

"Xiaoyue, I think you are just fooling around. All the stone nirvana in that place has been dug up, and not even a blade of grass grows. If you want to dig up some stone nirvana powder, why do you still need to buy it?"

Li Xiaoyue said to her eldest daughter-in-law: "Go and serve food to your grandpa. Let's talk while we eat."

Old Man Li waved his hand, "I don't want to eat, don't change the subject. If you don't give me a reason, I will never allow you to buy it. It's not easy for Changfu and his three brothers to make some money, and you, the mother-in-law, can't let it all go to waste." ."

Except for Wu Cuihong, the eldest daughter-in-law, everyone in the family thinks the same way.

Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but explain, "Dad, I'm worried that once the briquettes are ready and sold well, the land will be taken away by others, and our business of briquettes and briquette stoves will not be successful."

Old Man Li thought for a moment, "Then you get the stove and briquettes, and I'll see if they can be used. Don't make any noise first, and make sure they are useful before buying them."

Li Xiaoyue knew it was useful, but Old Man Li didn't know it!Later, I still needed my father's help, so I had to give up and said, "Okay, just listen to dad."

Facts speak louder than words, it depends on the effect!

Hearing this, Old Man Li smiled, with a dark face full of smiles. His daughter listened to his advice and will not make mistakes in the future.

"By the way, Xiaoyue, you used to like to go shopping. Tomorrow your elder brother and I are going to buy two cows, a horse, and some lambs. Will you go?"

Li Xiaoyue's mind flashed to the border market outside Zhenxiguan, where merchants from the Great Yan Dynasty and other border countries, and even some further countries, gathered to exchange and trade various commodities.

"Go, dad, I'll go." Li Xiaoyue is good at business. She wants to go there to find business opportunities and cannot miss this good opportunity.
