Chapter 5 Li Wu Clan

"Peach Blossom, Plum Blossom, chopped the pigweed. Pear Blossom, Douhua fed the chicken." The old lady had deep nasolabial folds on her face, and she didn't have a smiling face, so she didn't look like a kind person.

Sure enough, after the two looked at each other, "Are you alright? When you're done, go help with the work. Don't think about being lazy all day long. You just eat and don't do anything. You're wasting food every day. I really want to be a lazy woman." While talking, he walked to the main room.

When I entered the door, I saw that Li Xiaolan was still standing still, and said angrily: "If you don't come here, go and light the fire, if you don't stay still, you don't have any energy."

Li Xiaolan just wanted to vomit swear words, felt her hungry belly, thought about it and followed.Compared to chopping pigweed, it feels better to burn a fire. The kitchen is important, and maybe I can get something to eat, even if I have a mouthful of hot water to drink.

Li Wu went into the kitchen and scooped water into the pot while still babbling and swearing. Li Xiaolan pretended not to hear her, and hid behind the stove, intending to start a fire, but she was blinded when she picked up the firewood. There was no lighter, no matches. ,how to do.There is a small groove above the stove mouth, and there are things in it. She looked at it and guessed it was for ignition, but unfortunately it didn't work at all.

Li Xiaolan thought for a while, without stopping for a moment, rushed to the door of the main room and shouted to the courtyard: "Douhua, come here."

Douhua stood up from the chicken coop, "Hey, here we come."

Li Xiaolan dragged Douhua into the stove, "Sister Lanhua, what's the matter." "Light the fire for me, can you? I..."

Before Li Xiaolan finished speaking, Douhua said, "Sister Lanhua, sit down quickly, you are still ill, how do you have the strength to start a fire, I will come."

Well, I just made up the reason for my brain, and Li Xiaolan didn't say much.

A set of ignition tools commonly used by the ancients is a fire sickle, flint, and tinder.When in use, first open the cover of the fire sickle purse, and take out the flint and tinder.Generally hold the flint with the left hand and press the tinder between the flint and the fingers, hold the purse of the fire sickle with the right hand, aim the sickle at the flint and strike hard.This process of hitting the stone is generally repeated several times until the tinder is ignited by the impacting sparks.

Li Xiaolan carefully watched Douhua's skillful movements, this blow really needed some strength, otherwise it would be like scratching an itch, and there would be no spark at all.Fortunately, the bean curd was very powerful, and the tinder was quickly ignited, and the flame was amplified with dead leaves.

Li Xiaolan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally got it done, she has to try it out later, no matter what she has to master this new skill proficiently.

"I'll come, thank you Douhua." She was not guilty at all of accepting the fruits of other people's labor.

Douhua gave way, and Li Xiaolan first picked a few twigs and stuffed them into the stove to make the fire bigger, and then put in thick firewood.In fact, she also burned an earthen stove when she lived with her grandma, and she still knew the basics, and she was defeated by the ignition tool, but she soon couldn't help her.Seeing the ignited flames, Li Xiaolan was a little secretly happy, feeling that life was hard for her, and there was hope for the future.

"What are you doing here? The chicken has been fed. I know I'm lazy. I'm not worrying about anything." Li Wushi went to her room to bring today's lunch food, and scolded Douhua standing by the stove.

"I'll help Sister Lanhua light the fire, and I'll go to work right away." Douhua stuck out her tongue at Lanhua, turned around and ran out, very agile.

"I need someone to help me light a fire, so I'm too lazy..." Li Wu sneered, without stopping her hands, she quickly drained a handful of brown rice and poured it into the pot, and grabbed it again. Several handfuls of unknown things were thrown into it.Li Xiaolan looked through the small hole, guessing that it might be chaff, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, feeling her throat itchy.
