Dressed Like a Pretty Daughter-in-law From the 1970s Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Strong and durable

“Why are my clothes in your way?”

 At this point, Nie Yichang fell silent, scratched his head and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, sister, I'll give you a set of beautiful dishes later."

An Zhixia glared at him angrily, "Am I like a person who needs a bowl? When the brick factory is built, you can move bricks for me at the price of a bowl."

Nie Yichang responded happily, but Hang Xianglei nudged him with his elbow, "You deserve it so much. Don't you know her name is An Tianjiao? That's not just a mouthful!"

"Have you thought about it? Don't you want to be a wife after someone else's ass?" Nie Yichang chuckled and leaned over to whisper, then said indifferently: "You just moved faster, let's move the bricks together. Isn't it just moving bricks? What? It's just a matter of a few trips, as long as the little girl is happy!”

Fang Yuan raised his eyelids to look at him, and said calmly: "The bowl you threw is of fine quality and novel pattern. It would cost eighty cents in the provincial capital. If you move bricks, it only costs one or two cents per trip." , Calculating this, Nie Zhiqing would have to move at least forty times, which would take most of the day. "

 “Are you so serious?” Nie Yichang's heart trembled.

An Zhixia smiled brightly: "To deal with a young man like you, carrying bricks is the most practical way. From now on, you have to use your brain first when you act and speak. Don't be so stupid that you help count the money after being sold."

 Speaking of which, Hang Xianglei is the second male lead, equivalent to the heroine, so he naturally has a halo. The fate of others is not so good, and they must always be prepared to sacrifice for the protagonists.

  Nie Yichang, as Hang Xianglei's little follower, is responsible for this kind of task.

It seems that the heroine wanted to save the lives of more than 200,000 people in the Zhongshan earthquake, but she could not remember the exact time, so she could only contact earthquake experts anonymously to pay attention to the matter, and she also dressed up and went around to publicize it.

But everyone didn't believe her and thought her words were deceptive. Even if some people believed her, she slept in the yard with a quilt at night. It was okay for three to five days. More than ten days had passed and there was still no sign of an earthquake, so everyone relaxed. , was also quite exhausted from the tossing. When he was sleeping deeply, the earthquake struck as promised, and the casualties were still very serious.

Nie Yichang was also hit by gravel and died while running for publicity.

The heroine expressed that she was powerless and that the historical process would not stop or change for her alone. She had to put away her bad mood and continue living her life.

An Zhixia glanced at the wailing Nie Yichang, why was she angry with a meat pie?

Although the brick kiln is on the agenda, it is difficult at the beginning. You must first find a master who knows how to bake bricks and build the brick kiln.

Fang Yuan directly took over the matter and asked her to be the hands-on shopkeeper.

An Zhixia is of course happy, living the enviable life of sitting in an office, drinking tea and reading newspapers from 9 to 5.

At the end of May, Fang Yuan suddenly came to see her with an old man and a young man, saying that he was starting to select a site to build a brick kiln.

“This is the number one master chef in the largest official brick kiln in Jiangzhou Province, whose surname is Hua,” Fang Yuan simply introduced, without explaining how he invited the person here. It must have gone through a lot of twists and turns.

But looking at Master Hua's empty sleeve, An Zhixia could make some guesses.

“This is the eldest grandson of the master who burned tribute bricks, whose surname is Li. The craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation.”

The young man was around 20 years old and a little shy. He glanced at An Zhixia and lowered his head, fiddling with the corners of his clothes.

"Both of them know how to make green bricks. Before we came here, we took a look at the geology of our village. They found that it is more suitable for making bricks, and the quality of the bricks will not be bad!" Fang Yuan said patiently one by one: " Hang Zhiqing and Nie Zhiqing have been working as newspaper reporters in the provincial capital brick factory for the past few days, and they are probably coming back soon. Zhixia, tell the president which land is used to build the brick kiln?

An Zhixia led them to the president. As laymen, the two of them said directly: "The two masters will see which piece of land is suitable. As long as it is not crop land, it will be fine!"

 After considering all aspects, the brick kiln is planned to be built in a flat and open location downwind of the commune and close to the provincial road. There are two masters. One has not made bricks for a long time and his hands are a bit raw. The other has only paper experience, plus a few layman educated youths. So they planned to build a brick kiln first, think about it carefully, bake bricks to see the quality, and then expand the scale.

An Zhixia went to check on the progress when he had nothing to do. They had limited financial, manpower and material resources, so they built the simplest small brick kiln.

Master Hua ate the freshly washed mulberries with her, pointed with his good hand at the brick kiln that was being finished and said: "Girl, don't look at our kiln as small, but I promise to bake you the strongest and most durable green bricks." Blue tiles!

Red bricks are now popular outside. This kind of red brick requires low technical requirements and has a large output, but it is not durable. A large family can only live in it for a few decades after finally raising money to build a solid brick house.

Don't our ancestors know how to burn red bricks? Yes, but aren't all the old houses that remain have bricks and tiles? What does this mean? Our green bricks are strong and durable and can withstand wind and rain!

 A house is not the same as clothes and food. You cannot make do with it. This is a major matter related to our ancestors. If you want to build a house, build it well. This is the insistence in our Xia Chinese people's bones. "

An Zhixia nodded repeatedly, "The original intention of building brick kilns in our commune is to serve our own family first, and export sales are not the main thing. The house is solid, and everyone feels at ease, and they will work hard to develop!"

"The children who are studying are fascinated by it. Those brick factories are owned by the state, but the factory director also wants to make achievements and only likes red bricks that can be mechanized and mass-produced. New houses in towns are also built with red bricks. It looks nice, but you see, it will definitely have to be rebuilt in fifty or sixty years.

How many blue-brick houses can be built in a few lifetimes?

However, the entire process of our green bricks requires manual operations, from selecting soil, drying, stirring, removing dirt, and increasing flexibility. This is how "three volts measure summer", and then through screening, mud mixing, mud scouring, beating, and molding into a mold that is dried in the shade. , and finally need to be fired in the cellar for a month. After many processes such as low fire, medium fire, high fire, stewing, water injection, etc., a batch of green bricks that have been well preserved for hundreds or even thousands of years can be produced!

Of course, if the house is to be preserved as well as the one of the ancestors, it will last for hundreds of years. When your commune builds the house, you have to hire a master craftsman, and the mud and wood must be very particular. "

 “Where is Master Hua from?”

"I am from a small village in Linxian County. The young man Fang is very capable, and after going through many people, he actually found me. I have been missing an arm since I returned to my hometown with a pair of grandchildren, thinking that I would live like this for the rest of my life. I didn't expect that I would live like this for the rest of my life." I can continue to do what I like," he said, looking at the brick kiln with endless nostalgia and memories on his face, as if he was seeing the beauties of the years through this similar building.

“You work hard, our factory has good benefits, and we will give you a portion of the bricks and tiles to build a new house when the time comes!”

“Well, the old man can live in a brick house made by himself, and he will have no regrets in his life!” Master Hua said happily.
