Chapter 423 Rent a brick kiln (for subscription)

Li Yuan looked around and saw that in the compound, he could vaguely see a lot of old brick kilns.

However, in this compound, most of the open space is filled with waste products, looking desolate.

"Who are you looking for?"

Just as Li Yuan was looking around looking for someone, an old man's voice suddenly came from the yard.

Li Yuan followed the voice, and sure enough, he saw an old man dressed in plain clothes, holding the waste that Li had just taken back, looking at him with some doubts.

Li Yuan greeted him with a smile, and asked the uncle, "You are Uncle Yu, right? Hello, my name is Li Yuan, and this is my second uncle. We came here to ask you something."

Uncle Yu sized up Li Yuan and Second Uncle, and then opened the door of the brick kiln.

"Then come in."

Li Yuan and Second Uncle followed Uncle Yu to a house in the brick factory. There were some commonly used living utensils and a kang inside, which was obviously where Uncle Yu usually lived.

Li Yuan: "Master, that's how it is. I'm a poor guy. I heard that our place used to be a brick kiln, so I want to ask you, can you borrow our brick kiln to burn some green bricks?"

Uncle Yu looked at Li Yuan in surprise: "Burn green bricks?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Uncle Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This used to be a brick kiln. Later, when the boss ran away, he sold the brick kiln to my family to pay off the debt. It would be no problem to borrow it from you. But..."

"Young man, this brick kiln has not been used for several years, and some places have collapsed, and the factory has been empty, and the brick-burning master is not there. Burning bricks... I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

Li Yuan: "I can take care of the brick-burning. I don't know if it's convenient for you to show me the brick kiln, sir?"

Uncle Yu nodded: "All right, I'll take you to have a look."

After finishing speaking, the uncle then took Li Yuan and the second uncle and walked towards the brick kiln.

In just a few minutes, several people had already arrived at the brick kiln. Sure enough, as Uncle Yu said, the area around the brick kiln was already full of items, and because no one had used it for too long, the position of the door had collapsed.

However, the original area of ​​this brick factory is quite large, and there are many brick kilns. Some of them should be able to continue to be used after cleaning up.

There was a smile on Li Yuan's face, obviously quite satisfied with the situation of the brick kiln.

Li Yuan looked at Uncle Yu, and then said: "Uncle Yu, I don't think there is any major problem with firing bricks in these brick kilns. Just clean them up. I wonder if you can rent them to me."

Uncle Yu: "It doesn't matter whether it is rented or not. This brick kiln is idle if it is idle. If you can use it, you can come and use it."

Li Yuan shook his head, but refused to say: "How can I do that, sir, I can use this brick kiln for about a month, so I will give you 2000 yuan, and it will be used as the site fee of the brick kiln, okay?"

Uncle Yu shook his head hastily: "No, no, this is too much money."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Not much, when the time comes, I still think that the uncle can help me take a look at the brick kiln, it will all be due to the hard work of the uncle."

"I'll send the money tomorrow, do you think it's okay?"

2000 yuan.

Although it doesn't sound like much, in fact, this is considered a lot of income in the countryside, especially for Uncle Yu, who makes a living by picking up waste all the year round, and it takes two or three months of hard work to save it up.

But Uncle Yu is also a practical person, thinking that the brick factory has been abandoned for such a long time, and it is nothing to use, so naturally he cannot collect money.

However, Li Yuan's attitude was also resolute. In the end, Uncle Yu didn't hold back Li Yuan, so he agreed.

Li Yuan roughly calculated that he used a lot of bricks, so he would have to use green bricks from three brick kilns anyway. According to the market price of the previous brick kilns, there was still a lot of money left over after removing the clay.

Moreover, the blue bricks produced in this way can control the quality by themselves, which is much more reassuring than going out to buy them.

In this way, Li Yuan rented the brick kiln, and asked his second uncle to contact the clay manufacturer that afternoon, and agreed to send it to the abandoned brick factory the next day.

And the second uncle, who was wondering what Li Yuan was going to do at first, finally came to his senses after hearing that Li Yuan wanted to buy clay.

"Xiaoyuan, are you really sure you want to burn green bricks yourself?!"

Second Uncle Li Yuan looked at his nephew in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Well, the price of blue bricks is relatively expensive, and the transportation alone will cost a lot of money. Not only is it cheaper to burn bricks yourself, but the quality is also better than those from outside."

The second uncle still couldn't believe it.

"But Xiaoyuan, burning bricks is not a joke. You haven't done these things before, can you do it?"

Li Yuan had a confident smile on his face.

If it was in the past... Li Yuan really didn't dare to boast that he could do it, but after studying the book "Writing Jianshu" yesterday, Li Yuan couldn't help mastering the skills of building houses. , is also quite confident.

Li Yuan: "Second Uncle, don't worry, there's no problem."

Although Second Uncle wanted to say something, he finally swallowed his words when he saw Li Yuan's confident expression.

Although I don't believe Li Yuan in my heart, I have to admit that the nephew who returned to Zizigou this time seems to have really changed a lot from before.

maybe……

Does Li Yuan really know how to burn bricks?

Day two.

Li Yuan arrived at the brick factory at eight o'clock and waited for the clay to be delivered.

Yesterday Li Yuan came to the brick factory again in the afternoon, intending to take a good look at the situation of the brick kiln.

After entering, Li Yuan discovered that the brick kiln was much bigger than he imagined, and the brick kiln was in good use.

Even if Li Yuandang decided on two brick kilns in the best condition, he was going to deal with them and keep them for later firing.

only……

After Li Yuan arrived at the brick kiln early in the morning, looking at the brick kiln that had been cleaned up, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

The entrance of the cave dwelling, which was originally full of mud and broken heads, has been cleaned up at this time.

Even the place that was broken before has been smoothed out with plaster. Don't think about it, this must be Uncle Yu's masterpiece.

Sure enough, not long after, Uncle Yu pushed his bicycle to the side of the brick kiln. There were still fine beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously tired from working.

When Uncle Yu saw Li Yuan, he still greeted with a smile, "Young man, are you here?"

Li Yuan hurried over and picked up the bicycle.

"Uncle Yu, why do you start doing these jobs? I can do it myself, you should go and rest quickly."

Uncle Yu wiped his sweat with the sweat towel around his neck, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, this job is nothing, I can't take your money for nothing, I have to do something anyway."
