Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Everyone was busy. Father Su and Cheng Feng built two large straw sheds for everyone, one for each man and woman. At least they didn't have to sleep outdoors. They slept in straw sheds before the house was built. There was also a small shed for the toilet. After that, they started to cut trees seriously.

The days passed by were busy and fulfilling, and time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. Everyone looked at the fruits of their labor and felt a special sense of accomplishment.

Especially Grandma Su, she told Grandpa Su and Father Cheng what Su Xiaoxiao told her! Their faces instantly became serious. Su Xiaoxiao might not know, but they, the old farmers, knew the importance of these seeds and joined the ranks of taking care of them.

Some of the seeds Su Xiaoxiao gave her sprouted, while others did not. Each type was marked. The sprouted seedlings were carefully cared for by the elders of both families three times a day.

After Grandpa Su turned over the vegetable field, he made compost according to the method Su Xiaoxiao said, and collected a lot of dead leaves, earthworms and so on. Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand much, so she only knew the general idea and left it to Grandpa Su to figure out. If this is done well, it can be used for growing vegetables and crops.

Uncle Cheng makes mud bricks every day. Seeing the ground covered with adobe bricks, he is very satisfied with his work! But he needs to make more. After all, he needs to build two houses, so the number of adobe bricks cannot be less. It didn't rain that day, so it was just right to dry these. It won't be long before we can live in the new house. I am happy just thinking about it.

Su Xiaoxiao stared at the adobe bricks in a daze, wondering how red bricks and fire bricks were fired? Should she build a kiln to fire the adobe bricks?

Not to mention whether it can be turned into red bricks, at least it will be stronger and cleaner than adobe and will not fall off dust. If it succeeds, the same method can be used to burn some tiles. In this way, there is no need to build thatched houses. The thatch needs to be renovated every year, which is too troublesome.

"Xiao girl, Xiao girl. What are you daydreaming about?" Grandma Su looked at her granddaughter who was in a daze and didn't say anything for a long time, so she patted her and asked.

"Grandma, I'm fine. I just suddenly thought of something." Su Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and replied.

When they had dinner together in the evening, Su Xiaoxiao told everyone what she had been thinking about during the day, and also briefly explained the general process of building a kiln and firing bricks.

This was what she had heard, she didn't know how to do anything else. It was to build a sealed cave or house, leaving a chimney and a small door.

At that time, place the bricks with gaps inside. Then burn them with a high fire, turn off the fire after the mud bricks are red hot, and then seal the space and wait for them to cool naturally.

Father Su was very interested and thought he could give it a try. He would burn it once to see the effect. Anyway, they had been cutting trees for more than ten days and the number was almost the same. It was just right to burn bricks. It would take time to dry the wood before it could be used! This was just the right time to connect.

Su Xiaoxiao also said that if they succeed in making bricks and gain experience, they can then make tiles and there will be no need to cover the house with thatch. They can then live directly in a brick and tile house and use the kiln to burn charcoal in winter.

After a few years, maybe this is a skill to make a living. Su Xiaoxiao's cakes are very large and very sweet to motivate them. After all, chopping wood and burning kilns in the summer is too torturous.

Sure enough, the elders were only 30% interested in trying it out, but now they are 100% interested. They are discussing it enthusiastically, and they are also saying that they can burn bowls, jars, water tanks, etc. The more they talk, the more interested they are, and they start working immediately. Cheng Feng glanced at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile, and of course he didn't object. Su Xiaoxiao blinked in response.

After that, the two tree-cutting team went to work on sealing the cave, while the others continued to work. Uncle Cheng also added the work of making adobe tiles, which instantly increased the workload.

Su Xiaoxiao and her brother have turned over three or four acres of land in the past ten days, and their hands are all worn out. The main reason is that they have never done this kind of work seriously before, but now there is a shortage of labor, right?

Besides, they were very strong and could be used as adults. They planned to stop turning over five acres of land as it was too tiring, and the main reason was that they did not have enough seeds.

Besides, they don't have to pay taxes now, and five acres of land should be enough for the two families. The rest of the land can be turned over when their main labor force is free, and they can see what to plant.

While working, Su Xiaoxiao thought bitterly that she must have been fooled by the system. Her life was much harder than before. Before, she could slack off at work. Now, she can't be idle at all, and she can't eat or sleep well. Other people who traveled through time didn't have such a hard life as hers.

When they decided on a good place, the cave house was also built, like a big tomb. Su Xiaoxiao even went to see it, it was about 1 meters high, and a chimney and a small door for firewood were specially left.

After going in and taking a look, it was like a small room! This was something they had thought about for a long time before they came up with. It was half underground and half above ground, and the top was reinforced with tree trunks and mud, so there was no need to worry about it collapsing.

I have tried it, and it is no longer smoking, confirming the sealing effect. Now I can place bricks, and I can burn about 3000 bricks each time.

Finally, the bricks were passed in, arranged in a regular pattern with gaps on both sides, trying to burn every brick successfully! More than 1m wide was left in the middle for burning firewood.

After the bricks were laid out, he began to lay out the firewood, all of which he had carried down from the mountain. They were all large firewood that was more durable. After the firewood was laid out, it was finally ready to be lit. He lit the branches with tree oil and put them in.

Soon the firewood was all on fire, and after burning for about a cup of tea, the temperature of the ground within a radius of 20 meters instantly rose. The people watching nearby were sweating like steam, and the sweat was like rain, so they left in a hurry.

Father Su was more capable, as he could throw firewood in from time to time through the small door. By the way, did the bricks turn red?

It took five hours to get the bricks red hot, and then we immediately removed the firewood and sealed the chimney and the small door! The rest of the time was spent waiting, waiting for the bricks to cool down naturally before checking the results. Father Su was soaked and almost dehydrated and suffering from heatstroke!

While waiting for the kiln to cool down, no one was idle. They continued to do what they were supposed to do, except that the number of people making mud and tile blanks increased. Su Xiaoxiao and her team also finished digging the five acres of land.

Grandpa Su and Grandma Su have finished raising their seedlings and are ready to start transplanting. The leaves of the sweet potatoes have also grown a lot. It won't be long before we can cut the seedlings and plant them. The pumpkin has the highest germination rate, and Grandma Su is very happy. Because Su Xiaoxiao told me that this thing is very fruitful, the fruit is big and sweet, and you can eat it from head to toe.

Only a dozen peppers sprouted. Su Xiaoxiao looked after them personally. She really didn't want to eat bland food in the past few months.
