Chapter 99
"Don't underestimate anyone!" Li Xiao said solemnly, "But don't worry, I just know that imitations will appear on the market soon, so I hoarded so many stoves and briquettes before starting to sell them. .

Now that the market has been occupied by us, let’s save some soup for others to drink. All businesses are monopolized, and the only one who will die in the end will be himself!Only competition can make progress! "

"My lord taught me a lesson!" He Tieshou looked taught!

"Follow me! I will teach you a skill today, and you can definitely pass it on!" Li Xiao said with a mysterious expression.

He Tieshou followed excitedly. This is because Sir Alex valued himself and wanted to teach him unique skills.

After walking with Li Xiao for a long time, Niuzhuang is very big, very big. The main house is the original Huangzhuang. Outside the main house, there are dotted around, and there are many courtyards. Zhuang live and play.

Li Xiao directly plans the yards where he doesn't live into various workshops, and all the production is in them.

In addition, there are several settlements in the outer circle, where the tenants live.

Li Xiao led the two of them, turned left and right, walked to a settlement in the east, and walked to a low-rise farmer's household.

"Yo, Lao Huang didn't go to work?"

When Lao Huang saw someone coming, he took his wife and hurriedly saluted, "Master, didn't you know you were coming, and have been waiting for you for a long time?" Everything is ready? "

Li Xiao glanced at it and asked.

"I went to several workshops, and all the materials were brought back!"

He Tieshou looked at the ground, a pile of blue bricks, a pile of straw, and yellow mud. I don't know what kind of craftsmanship this is, building a house?A big question mark appeared above He Tieshou's head.

"He Ping, I started directing. If you want to learn to be good, you have to start directly!"

He Tieshou's face was full of excitement, but more doubts, "My lord, what are we going to do?"

"Didn't I say last time that the villages around Chang'an don't need to sell briquettes and stoves. Although these two things are very cheap in the eyes of many people, the villagers would rather give their children more to eat than waste the money." ,what to do?"

"Then the only way to make heating is to make a lower cost heating method, and that is to burn the kang!"

"If you don't solve the problem of people's heating in winter, don't you just watch the poor people freeze to death, so I want to emphasize one thing to you, that is, to collect money for the villagers, you must have a pole in your heart, and don't make money that is ignorant of conscience .

What's more, this craft definitely requires you, He Tie, to pass it on to more people, so as to ensure that every household has a kang as soon as possible, so when you choose your apprentice, you must be careful and assess your character more.

Don't accept those people who are lazy and do things without conscience!It looks bad. "

Seeing Li Xiao's serious words, He Tieshou quickly promised, "Don't worry, my lord, from now on I will bring people to bed, and I will never charge money!"

"Bullshit!"

Li Xiao laughed angrily, "Who told you not to collect money? It's just that if you encounter difficulties, you can charge as little as you can, and you have to do things according to your conscience."

"This kang is also a survival craft, how can we survive without receiving money?"

Lao Huang was deeply moved when he heard it, and said with tears, "Thank you, Dong, for thinking about us poor people, thank you, Dong!"

"Living in my village, I am obliged to help if I can help."

Li Xiao had nothing to say to his tenants.

Lao Huang also served as a soldier before. After being injured and returned home, he found a widow to live with. Later, he had a son and went to serve as a soldier. Unfortunately, Lao Huang's life was not as good as Lao Huang's. His son left his life on the battlefield.

Eighty to ninety percent of the men in Guanzhong have served as soldiers, which is not only the reason for the military system, but also the result of decades of non-stop wars.

The old couple couldn't do farming anymore, so Li Xiao arranged for them to do some light work. Now they are weeding and thinning fruits in the glass greenhouse, doing some things within their ability. Weeding!
Niuzhuang does not raise idlers, and there are no lazy people these days, they are all running around for a bite to eat.

"Alright, it's getting late, He Ping, use a guillotine to shorten the straw!"

After Kang Ni reconciled, Li Xiao guided He Tieshou to start.

"When the kang is set, the root of the kang should be laid with more than three layers of bottom bricks. First, it is to avoid fire, second, it is to keep warm, so that the heat does not disperse downwards, and third, it is a solid foundation, which is auspicious."

"As the saying goes, 'The more bricks are laid on the bottom of the kang, the more dolls will turn around in the yard.' Lao Huang can definitely take another child to live."

"Boss, why build such a big bed?"

Lao Huang looked at the scale, one bed occupied half of his main house!Although the boss gave me a free kang, the cost of materials is also the boss's. The boss doesn't feel bad, but I still feel bad.

What's more, my wife wears shoe soles and spins some twine during the day, but there is no room. I can't work outside the yard in winter!

"Hehe, Lao Huang, don't worry, after the kang is ready, you will basically be inseparable from the kang for the whole winter!"

Lao Huang frowned, "If you don't leave the kang, you can't be a lazy man? We don't like to be lazy in Niuzhuang!"

Li Xiao explained with a smile, "It's not laziness, it's spinning, feeding shoe soles, relatives having a drink, and they're all on the kang. You treat it as a living place, not a simple bed, and that's fine!"

The three sides of the earthen kang are against the wall. After the kang is fired, the heat dissipates along the wall, and the whole room will be warm.

The eyes of the kang are in the kitchen next to it, and there is a pot. In winter, as long as you cook and boil water, the kang is very warm and saves firewood. When you don’t need to heat the kang in summer, use a board to block it. It won't burn your back!
While He Tieshou was busy with work, Li Xiao instructed, "Use wooden planks for the sides of the kang. Chai Province."

He Tie wiped his sweat with his hands, and continued to work hard.

"All places with gaps must be sealed with yellow mud, otherwise the wind will smoke, and the master will curse you!"

He Tie kept moving his hands, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Sir, I won't cut corners!"

"This kang is a handicraft. It's not good. It's full of smoke. There's no warm place on the kang. In the middle of the night, the kang is as icy as a ghost's back. After sleeping all night, people's whole body is like a toad being trampled by a cow. With a kick, the whole body is uncomfortable and wooden boards are laid, and the gaps are carefully pasted with yellow mud. After it is tight, the yellow mud is spread evenly!

At the eye of the kang, after the stove was ready, He Tieshou asked loudly, "My lord, the pot doesn't match the stove!".

Li Xiao, who was resting in the yard, heard the sound, and went into the kitchen to see that He Tie was holding the original pottery pot of Lao Huang's house, and it didn't fit well no matter how he placed it, "When making a stove, it was not designed according to this pottery pot." of!"
