The story of a noble girl

Chapter 29 Brick Kiln
Many years later, when the Lin family became a wealthy family and Aunt Zhang became the right-hand man of the Lin family, this matter became the laughing stock of Mr. Lin and Aunt Zhang for life. They would talk about it when they had nothing to do, and it made everyone laugh every time. Every time Mr. Lin and Aunt Zhang blushed.

Thirty or so people brought by Lin Xiaoning settled in a house for 99 people, because at that time all 30 households were built with four rooms, and some couples and children lived in one room. There were many vacant rooms. Do the new quilt thing.

Lin Xiaoning asked these people to take a bath with hot water when the sun was shining in the afternoon, and opened up the space to boil some common warming and tonic herbs. Anyway, there are a lot of them in the space, and each of them took them.

This time there are 34 people in total. Different from the previous 99 people, they are a little numb, their eyes are a little dull, and they are very inferior. To change is not something that happens overnight, take your time, as the living environment changes, people will change too.

Fortunately, among these people, most of them are women. There are 19 of them, and some of them can spin yarn. Product out-of-stock pressure.

Among the other 15 men, 3 were actually older, and together with the previous two old men, they took care of the five cows.

The other 12 people, although they are old men, are not very old, only in their early forties, but they are too weak and look very old.These 12 people can only be kept for free temporarily, and they can go to work in the fields when their health improves. Now they can only do light things such as collecting firewood, cutting grass, fetching water and cooking medicine.

The 2235 mu of land, with the names of Xiaoxiang and Xiaobao written on it, cost only 2000 taels of silver, and the magistrate Hu said that a fraction was used to build houses for the refugees.

Lin Jiadong and Lin Xiaoning were named on the title deeds of the two barren hills. Lin Xiaoning was determined to let the eldest brother do something more difficult than farming.

It was Mr. Lin who was in charge of opening up wasteland. The old man held the field, and those men plowed the land very hard.

Lin Xiaoning and Wang Yong went back and forth between the county seat and Taocun to deliver goods; Lin Jiadong and Master Fang built a brick kiln in an enclosed area, and the men in Taocun were eagerly looking forward to it.

Lin Xiaoning doesn't like to take care of the brick kiln, but she still has time to look at it and take care of the two workshops.

The cotton towel workshop is not afraid of being imitated. The motherwort in the space is the best. No one in the world is as good as the one in her hands. There is more space to boil the cotton for disinfection. No one in the world can compare.So even though there are cheap imitation cotton towels on the market, she is calm and composed, knowing that within two months, those customers will understand that high quality determines high price.This workshop is a long-term business, so she handed it over to Aunt Zhang to take care of it. After the beginning of spring, when there are fewer things to do in the shop, Miss Fu will go back to the village to take care of it with Aunt Zhang.

Wool products are selling very well now, but she also knows that this winter, it is very likely that it will be learned by others and spread slowly, but it is also natural. It is only a winter business a year, even if it is seized by others In a part of the market, those women can be supported with less money.

If you want to make greater development, you have to think about women's work.It's a pity that in her previous life, she only learned how to see a doctor in the Chinese medicine class, and never learned how to make traditional Chinese medicine skin care products, otherwise it would be very expensive.

What kind of job do you find another woman? Lin Xiaoning has a big head, and the shops in Qingshui County seem to be a bit redundant now. Apart from selling some pillows and woolen products, there are cotton towels, and there is nothing else. Lin Xiaoning is a little confused. The reason why I set up a shop may be a knot in my previous life. I always feel that I am so proud of having a shop as the boss.Hey, anyway, the family has money, so this shop is not short of money, just take it as a solution to my knot.

The brick kiln was built by the men of Yuantao Village with paid wages. Master Fang turned left and right, and put forward a lot of requirements, very long-winded and picky, but it was completed in three days.At this time, Wang Gang also brought Master Fang's eldest son, Master Xiao Fang, back to Taocun.

Master Xiao Fang is 29 years old, with a strong body and an ordinary appearance, but from Master Fang's eyes, it can be seen that this eldest son has been passed down, and he is also a very promising man.

Master Fang and his son were still placed in the same room as Wang Gang's brothers. The two brothers lived in four rooms, which were very empty.On the second day, Master Fang, his father and his son gathered around the brick kiln to discuss the quality of burning bricks from a kiln.

Lin Xiaoning asked to dig out part of the barren hills outside the village, and burn half of the barren hills here, so as to make a comparison.

All the men in Yuantao Village were mobilized, and the soil was dug and the bricks were laid in one day.

The 12 men who were temporarily raised picked up a lot of firewood and piled them up by the side of the brick kiln for backup. The benefits of having a large number of people were immediately reflected, even if they were physically weak.

When the bricks from the first kiln came out of the kiln, Lin Xiaoning concentrated and held her breath. She always felt that the burning of bricks was very magical. A little mud and something could turn into hard bricks after being fired. The wisdom of the ancients was unimaginable. .Let’s just talk about traditional Chinese medicine. 1700 years ago, Hua Tuo scraped the bones of Guan Yu to heal his wounds, and treated Cao Cao’s headache. He also mentioned craniotomy, which is a high-risk operation.But such a great legendary figure was killed by that bastard Cao Cao.Otherwise, how can the surgery of Western medicine be popular now? I only sigh that Hua Tuo's surgery has not been passed down.

Mr. Lin, Lin Jiadong and Wang's brothers also nervously watched every move of the two masters.

Master Fang picked up a brick and looked carefully at the brick surface, then dropped it skillfully on the ground, and it didn't break. He dropped a few more bricks, and said triumphantly, "A good brick."

"How about the bricks from the barren hills outside the village?" Lin Xiaoning asked.

"They are all high-quality bricks!" Master Fang emphasized triumphantly.

"The barren hills here will not be dug up, and only those outside the village will be dug up for burning," Lin Xiaoning said.

In the evening, Lin Xiaoning called Grandpa Qi, eldest brother, Master Fang, his father and son, and the brothers of the Wang family to discuss matters.

Lin Xiaoning took out the paper and drew with charcoal: "Look, this is the barren hills outside the village. This barren hills block the road to Taocun. It takes a detour of more than 20 miles to go to the county town. If you take this barren hills from the middle The earth is dug out and used to burn bricks, and the road from the village to the county seat is only twenty miles away."

Master Fang said appreciatively, "Young girl Ning has an idea. If we build two more kilns tomorrow, we, father and son, will officially start working."

"Master Fang, can you burn bigger bricks?" Lin Xiaoning gestured.

"Yes, big bricks and small bricks are fired the same way. The bricks used for road construction are all this big and have been fired." Master Dafang said cheerfully.

Lin Xiaoning smiled embarrassedly.

It was agreed before that Master Fang would be given 50 taels of silver every year, and Master Fang would add 30 taels more, making a total of 80 taels of silver a year, but the silver sent to Fang's family the previous two times was not counted.Master Xiaofang is happy, and Lin Xiaoning is even happier.
