Chapter 327: Making Mud Bricks
() Tang Xiaohan returned the doll to the eldest lady and went home angrily.
"I'm really angry!" Tang Xiaohan sat down and took a big sip of water, waved his sleeve and wiped it vigorously, "Why can't I!"
Tang Xiaohan thought about it, "I must think of a way to make the people in the village no longer believe the words of these fortune tellers." ”
In the spring, the people of the village began to grow rice in the newly allocated fields.
Only Tang Ercheng began to make mud bricks one by one with handmade wooden molds in the field of loess slope, Tang Ercheng used a cow to step on the rake, added some very clean water, and then let the water and yellow mud mix and dry, these parts are done according to what Tang Xiaohan said.
People passing by saw Tang Ercheng also working in the field every day, but they didn't know what he was doing.
"Ercheng, we have all started to grow rice, no matter how upside down your loess slope is, you can't grow anything. People passing by saw that the loess slope had softened into some mud, and they were laughing at Tang Ercheng's persistence.
"Brother Ercheng, why don't you come to our house as a small worker and give you the money to start work, do you want to do it? I also see that you are honest and diligent, otherwise we won't open this mouth." ”
"yes, don't be ashamed!"
The crowd laughed at Tang Ercheng again, and then left.
After a week, the mud is ready to be used for mud bricks.
Tang Ercheng picked these mud parts to the stream dam, and picked three loads at a time, and each load could make three mud bricks. Tang Ercheng went back and forth like this, and everyone who watched it was in a fog.
"Is this Tang Ercheng stupid, where is he going to pick all this mud?"
All of them didn't understand what he was going to do, and they were all waiting to see the joke.
"He has been going back and forth like this many times, I really don't know what he thinks, and he actually asked the deputy village chief to give him all this waste land!"
"What's the use of taking care of other people's affairs so much, maybe, Tang Ercheng's family wants to sell these muds!hahahaha......"
Some people made fun of Tang Ercheng's picking up mud, but even so, Tang Ercheng insisted on picking all the mud on the stream dam.
Tang Ercheng put the wooden molds he had made in advance on the smooth stream dam, poured the mud into the wooden molds, stepped on them with his bare feet, and smoothed them with his hands.
The whole process was cumbersome and complicated, but Tang Ercheng put all his efforts into it.
The smoothed mud is framed by the wooden mold into a solid mud brick, and finally the wooden mold is lifted out and exposed to the sun.
After each mud brick, Tang Ercheng would use a grass brush to scrub the wooden molds with water, the purpose is to ensure that these wooden molds do not affect the quality of other mud bricks.
Tang Ercheng kept repeating these actions like this, and successively finished all the mud he had picked up.
Then we just wait for the sun to shine, and we will know the results in three days.
In the past three days, Tang Ercheng has been guarding this stream dam, always worrying that someone will destroy it or some birds and rabbits will destroy the shape of these mud bricks.
A week later, Tang Xiaohan came to the creek dam to inspect it.
Rows of yellow and clear mud bricks are neatly arranged, densely packed, and they can be sold for money.
"Dad, these mud bricks can be sold now. Tang Xiaohan looked at these high-quality mud bricks, and was ecstatic in his heart, "Dad, your brick-making skills are really first-class! These mud bricks are all of the best and will definitely sell for a good price." ”
