The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 17 The whole family has different attitudes
Fire tongs!
Without pokers, how could she pick up the briquettes?

Li Xiaoyue patted her head and said, "Changfu, don't collect the pigs today. Go to town now and find Blacksmith Wang to make me a pair of fire pliers."

"The upper part looks like scissors, and the lower scissors can be changed into two straight iron rods. By the way, buy forty more iron rods, and I will get you a small stick. Just buy this long one."

"If you can't do it right on the spot, you can take as much as Blacksmith Wang has over there. This is the money you take with you."

When Liu Changfu heard his mother's words, he nodded and took the copper coins and silver handed over by his mother, "Mom, I'll go right away!"

After Liu Changfu left, Li Xiaoyue began to make arrangements, "Changlu Changshou, you guys will drive the family's ox cart today to continue pulling stone nirvana."

Liu Changlu didn't want to go, "Mom, I don't know if this briquette will work? Let's make sure it's OK after we use it. How about we pull the stone nirvana powder at home?"

At this time, Wu Cuihong said with a smile: "Second brother, you don't know if you don't cook. I know that this briquette is really useful!"

"When I was cooking this morning, I put a piece of briquettes in the stove. I used half a bundle of firewood at home!"

Zhou Xiaohua saw that her mother-in-law was becoming more and more fond of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, so she quickly twisted her husband's arm. Why should he contradict her mother-in-law if she had nothing to do?Back then, if my mother-in-law was unhappy, she would cause trouble for them.

"Mom is the boss of the house. You do whatever your mother asks you to do. Where does all this nonsense come from? Look at big brother, you can do whatever your mother asks you to do!"

When Liu Changlu heard this, he smiled and felt that his mother had changed a lot. She was indeed not as easy to coax as before, "Mom, I'm going to pull the nirvana powder right away."

Liu Changshou is silent and not good at talking. Anyway, he does whatever his mother and brothers ask him to do.

Li Sanqiang had nothing to do, so he came over to help.

Li Xiaoyue took the handkerchief and reminded them, "If the stone nirvana powder is inhaled into the body, it is not good for the lungs. Don't take it seriously. Even if you don't feel it now, you will get sick in the future."

"Sister-in-law, I understand." Li Sanqiang took the handkerchief and stuffed it into his lapel.Li Xiaoyue had nothing to do, so she found a few more layers of linen cloth and sewed a handkerchief inside to make a mask, which should be able to block some dust.

Liu Changfu walked quickly and came back in more than an hour, holding fire pliers.

Li Xiaoyue clamped the red-hot briquettes into the stove with tongs, and then placed two new pieces of briquettes on top.

Fill the casserole with water and place it on the stove. Remove the stove door below and just wait for the effect.

Wu Cuihong is usually responsible for cooking at home, but she is more interested in the stove and runs over to take a look at it from time to time.

"Mom, the stove is getting hotter and hotter!"

"Mom, the water in the casserole has started!"

"Mom, the water is boiling! Although it's not noon yet, I want to use the stove to cook. Otherwise, the fire is so strong and it would be wasteful to keep it burning."

Li Xiaoyue smiled as she watched her eldest daughter-in-law become more lively and interesting because of a stove.

"What a fool! Of course it can't be so hot all the time. Isn't there a furnace door on the side? If you just cover the furnace door with that, the fire inside won't burn as brightly."

"When it's cooking time, just take off the bottom cover. By the way, when the bottom piece of briquettes turns black, don't forget to use the tongs to replace the bottom piece of briquettes and put a new one on top. of."

"By the way, this is very hot. Keep Daya and Goudan away from each other. Be sure not to burn it."

Wu Cuihong understood, smiled and nodded, "Mom, I understand, I will be careful."

Li Sanqiang and Liu Changfu built two more stoves, which were better than Li Xiaoyue's.

Li Xiaoyue was very satisfied, "Carry these two stoves onto the bullock cart. By the way, Changfu, you pick up two baskets of briquettes. I will send them to your grandpa." "Hey!" Liu Changfu smiled happily, but he did not expect that the briquettes and briquettes at home were The stove is so easy to use, "With this stove, my aunt can cook more easily."

"Yes!" Li Xiaoyue nodded. This money-making business opportunity was considered a success.

Although it is hard money and you don't earn much, you can add up to a small sum, not to mention that the raw materials of stone nirvana and loess are free, which greatly reduces the cost.

As soon as I arrived at Li's house at the back of the village, I saw that Old Man Li had returned from selling pork.

Old Man Li glanced around and saw the briquettes and stove on the bullock cart. "My dear, can these things be used?"

Before Li Xiaoyue could answer, Li Sanqiang answered first: "Grandpa, it can be used. My sister-in-law's family just used it."

"Bring it down quickly and let me take a look." Old Man Li became interested and asked his grandson and grandson to move the stove down.

"Changfu, go back home, bring over more briquettes that you made yesterday morning, and find a dry place to put them."

Liu Changfu agreed and said with a smile: "Mom, I'll go up right away."

Old Man Li was cautious and did not dare to move it to the kitchen, but placed it in the yard.

Li Sanqiang had already added briquettes to it, and then placed the casserole at home on top. After a while, the water in the casserole boiled.

Sister-in-law Li and her two daughters-in-law also gathered around. They usually cook and do housework at home, and they immediately understood the wonderful use of this stove.

Sister-in-law Li praised, "Xiaoyue's brain is very bright. It saves trouble when cooking. You don't have to add firewood while cooking, and you have to prevent dust from falling into the cooking pot."

The eldest niece and daughter-in-law also looked around the stove again and again, "It will be convenient to boil water in the future, and you will have hot water for washing clothes in winter, so you don't have to waste firewood. Sister, no wonder grandpa praises you all day long, you are smart."

Li Xiaoyue smiled modestly, "I just had an idea. Put the stove in the kitchen and keep the windows open. Even if it's cold, don't put the stove in the house."

"I know, sister-in-law." The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law agreed. Shi Nie is poisonous and they all know that, like charcoal, it needs to be ventilated.

When Old Man Li saw everyone praising his daughter, he was even happier than praising him. It turns out that this briquette really works!
"Xiaoyue, how come the big pot at the door is changed to use briquettes like this?"

Li Xiaoyue went over to take a look, "Dad, don't move too much. Go to Wang Tiehan and get a round shelf, put it on the bottom, and put a few iron rods staggered on it. After doing it, block most of the stove mouth, leaving a ventilation hole below. .”

"You don't need briquettes for this stove. Use the briquettes sieved from the briquettes and put them directly in. It's also convenient to start a fire. You have a honeycomb stove at home, just put a piece of briquettes in it."

"Don't move the bellows, keep it as it is. With this, my brother and nephews don't need to go to the mountains to chop wood."

Old Man Li kills at least one pig every day. If there is a festival, he needs to kill four or five pigs. He needs a lot of hot water and a lot of firewood every day.

There are two people in the Li family who are responsible for chopping firewood every day. With the coal stove, two laborers can be saved.

The more Old Man Li looked at it, the more he liked it, "Not bad! Very good!"

"Dad, do you think this stove and briquettes can be sold?" Li Xiaoyue asked. She wanted to buy the abandoned Shi Nie Mine as soon as possible.

"It can be sold. Stone Nirvana is similar to charcoal. They cannot be used in sealed spaces." Old Man Li was smart and made a prompt decision. "It is convenient and clean and does not take up space. It is a good thing. Come on, I will take you to find it now." village head."

Li Xiaoyue was overjoyed when she got the recognition, and followed Old Man Li with a smile on her face.

When the skinny old village chief heard that Old Man Li had agreed to his daughter's purchase of the abandoned Shi Nie Mine, he was so angry that he pointed his thin fingers at the father and daughter and couldn't help but get angry.
