Happy Little Scholar

It seems that Lao Fang is really free. A few months ago, he was quite a shy man. When talking about his lovely wife and concubine, he would blush from time to time. Now he is so free that he talks about pornographic jokes in public. Old man Sun is almost a successful man.

The uncle came, and everyone was too embarrassed to listen any more. They laughed twice and dispersed, thinking about choosing a good time to call Lao Fang out and let everyone talk again.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Lao Fang had a serious look on his face, and he was back to being an upright man again.

Li Yi nodded, something was indeed wrong.

Even if he has nothing to do, he still has to find something to do. What kind of good people have been left idle?

…

…

Lao Fang and a few men went up the mountain to chop bamboo. Although they didn't know what their uncle asked them to chop bamboo for, it was more interesting to be idle than to stay at home and tell dirty jokes.

Li Yi took Ruyi to the street, but Lao Fang was not there, so Ruyi temporarily acted as his bodyguard.

Others are the personal bodyguards of the beautiful CEO. She is the bodyguard of the beautiful sister-in-law of the county captain. She has a face that avoids strangers. Before others get close, she gives her a cold look and never dares to come near her again. , in future generations, it will definitely be President Bingshan’s sense of déjà vu. With her by his side, he is as safe as possible.

Of course, most of the people who want to get close are men, and the target is not Li Yi...

"May I ask, sir, what is this?" In a shop specializing in red clay stoves, an old craftsman asked, looking closely at some papers on the table.

There are a bunch of figures drawn on the paper, but the old craftsman has not yet understood them.

The red clay stove that I use to eat hot pot at home was bought here. The old craftsman’s skills are good and there have been no quality problems after using it for so long. When I planned to make a honeycomb briquette stove, I thought of this place immediately.

In the winter, you can't live without a useful stove. Li Yi plans to build a few more and put one in each room. It will be convenient to use water and will not be too cold when sleeping at night.

"This picture is from the front, this picture is from above, this picture is what the inside of this thing looks like..."

After spending a few minutes explaining to the old craftsman how to look at three-dimensional views and cross-sectional views, the old man’s eyes lit up and he was full of praise.

"This method is good, this method is good..." The old craftsman has been working for a lifetime and has full experience. He will soon be able to read pictures correctly.

A few simple drawings, when you look up, down, left, and right, a three-dimensional shape instantly appears in your mind.

Although the thing drawn on the paper looks a little different from the stove in the store, it is definitely a stove.

The old man looked away from the drawing and said, "Young master, I think you want a stove. There are so many in the store, big and small. You can just pick one. There is no need to make it again."

Li Yi smiled and said, "My stove has some special uses. Just follow the instructions in this picture. There will be no problem, right?"

The old craftsman was wondering if the stove had any special purpose other than making fire and making tea. Besides, the drawing on the paper seemed to just have one more ear than the ordinary stove. However, as the guest requested it, there was no need for him to ask so many questions.

"No problem, it can be done tomorrow. Where is the young master's house? I will send someone to deliver it then."

After discussing the price with the old craftsman, Li Yi and Ruyi walked out of the shop. They had a stove. After they went back, they would find a way to get some briquettes. This winter would definitely be much warmer.

Lao Fang and the others quickly came back after cutting the pillars. Everyone carried a bundle on their shoulders. According to Li Yi's instructions, the joints inside the bamboo were opened so that one could see from one side to the other.

Lao Fang refrained from asking Li Yi what this thing was for. Asking too many questions would make him appear ignorant. There will always be times when he sees it with his own eyes.

The old craftsman acted quickly, and the next day, the apprentice in the shop loosened the things.

Because the young master gave him a lot of money, several people worked all night and finished it before dawn.

Lao Fang saw his uncle put the hollowed-out bamboo on the protruding ears of the stove, connected another section, made a hole in the window, and the other end of the bamboo stretched out from the hole.

The charcoal fire burned quickly, and after a while, the room became much warmer. The important thing is that Lao Fang stayed in the room for a long time and did not feel dizzy or smell the charcoal smell.

I also have a stove at home, but I only use it when eating hot pot. I have to open the windows and doors when eating, otherwise I will faint after a long time and I will not have much strength.

Zhuzi had been shouting cold at home for the past two days. Two quilts were not enough to cover him at night. He was annoyed by the shouting. When he came out just now, he kicked him in the butt.

This child has only had a few good days, and he has forgotten all the hardships he has suffered in the past. In the winter of previous years, there were no two quilts to cover him. The weather in the mountains was much colder than in the city, no. Are you still here?

Of course, he didn't dare to light the stove in the house at night. That thing couldn't be used at night. Every winter, people lit the stove and died silently in their own homes. They fell asleep and never woke up again.

After staying in the room for a while, feeling that it was getting warmer and warmer and not feeling any discomfort, Sa Yazi ran outside.

There's still a lot of bamboo left, so I'll go check it out and get something like this for my house. He knows the guys who delivered the stove just now. He bought a stove in that shop and will go to their store soon. Here, let them make one exactly like my uncle’s.

I can kick my own child, but I feel bad for him being cold all the time. With this thing, if the bastard complains about the cold again, I will kick him again!

"Son-in-law, it's much warmer in the room." Xiaohuan stopped rubbing her hands. The copper kettle on the stove was steaming, and the water inside was always hot. Son-in-law said that he would use the water in it for washing and brushing teeth in the future. The room became warmer, and he would not curl up in the arms of the eldest lady when he fell asleep at night.

Thinking about these things, her eyes narrowed into crescents again. Only her family in the whole city had this thing. Son-in-law was really capable!

…

…

"This damn weather, it snows as soon as it says it will snow, I'm freezing to death!"

Late at night, the cold wind whistled in the mountains. Several figures pushed open the door of the abandoned temple in the mountains, shook off the snowflakes on their shoulders, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in from outside. They hurriedly turned back and closed the door again.

In an instant, I felt much warmer.

The small temple in the mountains has a small space, but it can accommodate dozens of people.

The windows on both sides have been blocked with wooden boards. The wind and snow outside are like two different worlds from the house.

In the middle of the house, someone lit a bonfire to keep warm. There were more than just them in the temple. Whether they were wealthy men traveling around the world, escorts, or pedestrians on the road at night, they were all blocked here by the sudden heavy snow.

"If you are cold, come and warm yourself." Many people gathered around the fire. Several people wanted to find a corner to sit down, and someone said.

"Thank you!"

People in the world have always been generous, and several people did not refuse and sat down next to the seat that the other party had given up.

After sitting down, one of the men took off a water bag from his back, handed it over and asked, "Do you want to drink some?"

The man on the opposite side was about to wave his hand to refuse, but the man opened the water bag, and a strong aroma came from it. He was stunned for a moment, took the water bag, tilted his head and took a sip, and smiled, "Good wine!"

"Haha, this is a famous strong wine in Qing'an Prefecture, but the price is too expensive." The man smiled and said.

"Are you brothers from the prefecture?" The man asked with a smile.

The man nodded and said, "Yes, I was planning to go to Chuzhou to do something, but I didn't expect the snow to fall suddenly, so I can only leave tomorrow."

The man on the opposite side also introduced himself. It turned out that he was also from Qing'an Prefecture. He was engaged in the business of escorting goods. Tonight, he encountered wind and snow, so he could only stay here for a night.

They were all people in the world, and after a short conversation, the atmosphere became lively.
