The struggle history of dressing up as Gone with the Wind

Chapter 458
Zhao Lan'er looked at the newly made mold and laughed excitedly; "Sister-in-law succeeded, we finally succeeded."

"Yes! We made two days, more than 60 molds, this is the most successful, these two days we finally did not waste time, except for this mold, we all know what soil to use to fire tiles."

"Yeah, it's best to use loess, with plant ash in it, and it's better to choose the wet and sticky soil by the waterfall."

Guo Xiu laughed logically when he heard what Zhao Lan'er said; "That's a good summary, we can build a kiln this afternoon."

"How? How big is the base?"

"Just build a small one, the same size as the washbasin round earth cake we made yesterday."

"Sister-in-law, why did you poke so many holes in the round cake?"

"This is the best way to burn tiles! Let's eat first."

An hour later, Guo Xiu and the others set off with straw hats and tools.

When they came to the waterfall, Guo Xiu chose a relatively flat place to dig a pit, and built a kiln around the pit with the excavated soil. The size of the earth cake was so good that they built it for about a stick of incense. Zheng Juan came, and with her help, the speed of the three of them was much faster.

An hour later, Guo Xiu washed her hands and nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the simple cylindrical kiln built.

"Okay, that's it!"

"Sister-in-law, what should I do next?" Zhao Lan'er became more and more satisfied with the kiln she built with her own hands.

"Gather firewood to make a fire, first dry the mud, and then make and burn tiles."

"Miss Zheng, shall we go pick up firewood?" Zhao Lan'er looked at Zheng Juan and asked beseechingly.

Zheng Juan glanced at Guo Xiu, nodded to Zhao Lan'er, and the two walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Guo Xiu looked at Zheng Juan's back and her eyes flickered slightly. Except for telling her that day that she was pregnant with the uncle's child, she lost her composure. In the past two days, she was very calm and took good care of her, which made her feel weird Well, after thinking about it for a while, Zheng Juan couldn't figure out what she was thinking, then she shook her head and squatted on the ground to continue digging. After a while, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Sun came over.

"The Cao family, you have been digging mud for the past two days, what are you going to do?"

Guo Xiu glanced at the few people who were staring curiously at the kiln and smiled slightly; "My siblings and I are going to burn tiles and repair the roof."

"Burning tiles? Do you still know how to burn tiles?"

"Ok!"

"Why do you use this for firing?" Mrs. Sun asked curiously, pointing to the still-dried cylindrical kiln.

"Yes, this is the one to use."

"Is it true? Could it be a joke? This thing looks like a chimney, can it burn out tiles?"

"If Sister Sun doesn't believe it, come and see it tomorrow and you'll find out."

"Are you going to burn tiles tomorrow?" Mrs. Wu asked with narrowed eyes after hearing Guo Xiu's words.

"Yes! We are going to burn the tiles tomorrow, and we must hurry up and burn the tiles while the weather is good now. When it snows and rains in winter, we won't be afraid that the roof will leak or fail."

Mrs. Wu looked at the swearing Guo Xiu and Mrs. Sun, they looked at each other, and they asked about the burning of the tiles before leaving.

Zhao Lan'er came back with the firewood in her arms and glanced into the distance; "Sister Wu and the others are here?"

"Well, let's take a look and go."

"But ask about burning tiles?"

"Yes, it's a good thing that they are willing to learn. With their help, we can burn tiles much faster, and we can also take this opportunity to mingle with the people in the valley." Guo Xiu looked at Zhao Lan'er and pointed out.

"Sister-in-law is right, I've heard from sister-in-law." Zhao Lan'er put down the firewood with a gentle smile.

Guo Xiu lit firewood from the bottom of the kiln, and Zheng Juan came over with a pile of firewood.
