Pastoral Blessed Girl's Recruiting Son-in-law Jinbao

Chapter 77
That night, even though he was very tired and sleepy, Mrs. He still didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. He really couldn't get over this hurdle, especially since their family suffered such a big fall, and all the money ended up in the old house and Li Changshou's pocket !

The next day, when it was time to make fairy tofu, I woke up again, listening to the quiet sounds around me, and the fairy tofu could no longer be sold, and the whole family felt bad.

Li Changlu felt especially guilty and ashamed, if it wasn't for him, things wouldn't be where they are now.Promise to the whole family at breakfast time.

"In a few days, it's time to break the corn. When the corn is broken, I'll go find a job!"

"Our family only has two acres of poor land, and I don't know if we can have two hundred catties of grain! It's not enough to pay the land tax!" Thinking about it, He worried. Although he had some money, he couldn't live without grain, even rations. nothing!The family has to buy food to eat, and she feels uneasy.

"Then let's start burning bricks today! Let's burn the bricks used to build our house first, so that we don't have to go out to buy bricks when we build a house!" Li Xiaojin suggested that the kiln can be fired for a trial, and it should be repaired as soon as possible. Let's talk about the bricks burning out!

"Then my mother and I will embroider sachets at home, and we can embroider more while we are free, and we can sell them for two dollars more!" Li Xiaomei also expressed her opinion immediately.

"Okay!" Li Yuanxi only had a simple yes, but expressed full support for Li Xiaojin's decision.

He thinks that her daughter can make fairy tofu, and the sachet she makes can repel mosquitoes, so it can also be used to burn bricks! ?Thinking about it this way, I also expressed my support. Anyway, I don’t sell fairy tofu anymore, and the whole family is free.

"That's good! Let's split up after dinner! As long as our family is twisted into one rope, we will earn a lot of money!" Li Xiaojin boosted his morale, and saw Li Jiaxiang rubbing his head with his mouth curled up.

"Just hang out the flowers with the eldest sister, and look at our pigs by the way! Those pigs are all silver!"

"Okay! I will work hard, Second Sister!" Li Jiaxiang's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

After dinner, He Shi and Li Xiaomei went to embroider sachets. Li Xiaojin took Li Changlu and Li Yuanxi out to find clay. The small mountain bun she looked at before didn’t know if the bottom was all the same soil. In that case, the brick kiln could be built. Next to the mountain bag, it is convenient to use soil!
When they arrived at the place, Li Yuanxi and Li Changlu first dug the soil and loaded an ox cart. Li Xiaojin strolled around and asked Li Yuanxi to dig down. Sure enough, the soil was still the same after three or four feet of digging. , even better than the soil quality above, she nodded and felt relieved, and when she had time, she would dig a few other places and dig a little deeper. After confirming, she bought this piece of land. Build a brick kiln.

The three of them took two carts of soil home, and Li Xiaojin brought out the molds she made, wire bows, three-toothed hooks, and iron balls at home.

If you want to burn bricks, you have to lay the bricks first.

The two trucks of soil were prepared by Li Xiaojin for the experiment. Clean up the soil, soak it in water first, mix it into mud, and put it in the established shallow pit to moisten it. This will take one night, and it will take the next morning to remove the mold .

Li Xiaojin looked at the mud waiting to wake up, carried a bamboo basket on his back and Li Yuanxi went up the mountain again, last time he found all kinds of stones for glaze color, this time Li Xiaojin wanted to move more back, and Li Yuanxi followed to chop firewood.It is said that it is used when the kiln is fired.

Li Xiaojin chuckled. The firewood for the kiln must be selected properly, otherwise the bricks will not be fired or the bricks will be crumbling. If you want to burn porcelain, you need to be more careful. If the temperature is not up to the mark, the porcelain in one kiln will be destroyed scrapped!

Instead of asking Li Yuanxi to chop firewood, he went down the mountain with two baskets of stones on his back. Cicadas on the mountain and down the mountain had already changed their voices, singing loudly, Futou, Futou, Futou!It means the dog days are over!After the beginning of autumn, it will be cool!
Seeing all the men, women and children busy picking leaves up and down the mountain, Li Xiaojin's eyes flickered, and he followed Li Yuanxi down the mountain to go home.

The second son of the family Wang was talking to Mrs. He about holding a full moon banquet for Wang Yuxuan the day after tomorrow.

"My father, mother and elder brother are gone, and I haven't experienced anything. Aunt Li reminds me more, I can't let my daughter-in-law and her natal family see our jokes, right!?"

Mrs. He has given birth to four children and has experienced a lot of these things. It is really clear that Wang's second child is pitiful, and Mrs. Liu and Wang Yuxuan passed through the gate of hell, so Mrs. He fully agreed to help.

"I won't ask Yuxuan's mother's relatives to see our jokes! We don't need money, and we can make the banquet table beautiful, so they will agree!"

"Hey! I'll trouble Second Aunt Li to help with it!" Wang Laoer was very happy, and asked what kind of vegetables he wanted to buy. The general vegetable gardens have them, and if they don't, they can be bought in the village, except for pork and fish. You have to go to the town to buy something.

After discussing to go shopping for vegetables and oil, salt and seasoning tomorrow, Wang Laoer went home relaxed.

"It's also a poor child! Now it's finally come to an end! The family is not busy these two days, so let's go over and help!" He sighed and asked Li Xiaojin a few words.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, I helped Li Xiaomei scoop out the rice, and the whole family helped to serve it to the table.

At the dinner table, Li Xiaojin discussed He and Li Changlu.

"Let's buy an ox cart too! We can't do without it. We can't use Xiaoni's all the time. Their family also needs to use it! Seeing that the corn harvest is coming soon, it's convenient for us to buy one ourselves! "

Li Xiaojin originally wanted to talk about buying a donkey cart, but when he thought about cutting down the corn stalks, he would have to plow the land, and he still had to use oxen. Anyway, he couldn’t do without. He bought the ox first, and then bought the donkey when he needed it.And now that money is tight, she is a bit reluctant to spend 20 taels to buy a donkey!No wonder those who have cows and donkeys are so dragged!Cows and donkeys are great wealth for farmers like them!

"I agree to buy a cow!" Li Yuanxi knew Li Xiaojin's plan, and since Mrs. Liu was confinement, it was time for Wang's second son to pull the cart, and their family couldn't return the cattle cart.

"To buy an ox cart would cost thirteen or forty taels of silver..." Li Changlu felt that there was only two acres of land at home, and he could finish it with a little more work. It would be better to save the money to build a house!
"We have to use bullock carts to build a house. We can't just borrow someone else's all the time! Buy one! I promise to earn back the money for the bullock cart soon!" Li Xiaojin still had this confidence, she adjusted the glaze color, and then How many more colors are there to make into enamel jewelry, and the silver won't flap its wings and fly into her pocket? !

"This makes the ox-cart user used to it. It is inconvenient to not have a ox-cart! Then buy it!" Mrs. He pondered for a while, and nodded in agreement.

"Then buy it! Buy it!" Seeing that his family members agreed, Li Changlu quickly nodded in agreement.

After agreeing that the next day Li Yuanxi and Li Changlu would follow Wang Laoer to buy vegetables and an ox cart by the way, they all fell asleep.

Li Xiaojin was thinking about the mud she had moistened, and woke up before dawn. Seeing that the mud had been moistened, she hurriedly called Li Changlu and Li Yuanxi to take off the mud. This mud removal is a dirty and tiring job. , The adobes that have come out cannot be used.
