The man who has traveled through time and space for a long time is so scary
Chapter 78 Earthen Oven
"Brother, a secret letter from the capital just arrived!" Xiao Ba's breathing was a little unstable and his voice was a little nervous. He knocked on the door lightly. First, he was worried about disturbing the boss's lunch break, and second, he was worried that the matter was serious and could not be delayed!
"Oh! Be good and lie down for a while. I'll go out and take a look." Ling Wuxin found that Yiyi, who was sleeping in his arms, had also opened her eyes, and hurriedly comforted her.
"Well, I've slept well too, you go!" Yiyi replied in a soft voice just like when she just woke up, turned over and continued to close her eyes and empty her mind, feeling a few gentle pats on her back and a slight sound, the room returned to peace. After a while, Yiyi was fully awake, she got up, washed her face, changed into her normal clothes, and walked out of the room in high spirits.
In the front hall, the two men who had originally had serious expressions instantly softened their expressions when they heard her footsteps, and looked up at her direction. Yiyi was slightly surprised, and after glancing at the man's expression for a few times, she found nothing unusual, so she had to ask, "Husband, is there something wrong in the capital?"
"It's nothing serious. The information about me building the temple has spread to various places. There have been some reactions in various places. The people in the capital don't seem to believe it. But the emperor is far away and the mountains are high. He won't do anything to me for a while." Ling Wuxin's voice was steady and without any ups and downs, so Yiyi believed it.
"The people in higher positions are all shrewd people. It's impossible for them to believe everything at once. It's normal. Just use this title to get more things done." Yiyi also comforted him.
"That's right! Big brother!" Xiao Ba also agreed.
Ling Wuxin tapped the letter with his fingers, nodded, and locked the letter in the drawer with a normal expression. "I'll build an oven in the afternoon. Xiao Ba, you can help too. Go to the village first to find a larger millstone. We only need the millstone, and then come back to mix the yellow mud."
"Oh, brother, I got it. I'll go right away!" Xiao Ba responded quickly, got up and left the yard.
"Why do I feel like Brother Xu is avoiding me? He's running so fast?" Yiyi had the intuition that Xiao Ba seemed to be avoiding her. She didn't do anything to scare people!
"He just lacks stability. What could he have to hide from you for?" Ling Wuxin came over and took her hand, and they walked towards the backyard together.
Is that so? Thinking about it, there is really nothing to hide! Yiyi put it down, and she focused her attention on the earthen oven, missing baking bread, baking cookies, baking egg tarts...all the delicious food that can be baked!
The stones were left over when the courtyard wall was built, and the mud needed to be dug again. This could only be found outside the courtyard near the foot of the mountain. "Dear, just watch me build it correctly. Mixing mud is a physical job. You don't need to do it yourself. Just let Xiao Ba do it later. I'll clean the foundation first!"
"Husband, do we still need to dig the foundation? It's just this high!" Yiyi thought the man was too formal. She thought they could just pile stones on the ground and be done with it.
"Of course, this is the only way it will be strong and durable. I don't want it to fall down accidentally. This kind of foundation does not need to be dug very deep, just about the depth of a hoe." Ling Wuxin cleaned the ground very carefully. He had to lift up the original stone slabs first and then dig the foundation.
"Husband, do you want a round or square wall?" Yiyi asked after observing the ground.
"The inside is round and the outside is square! The inner layer needs to be built according to the size of the millstone, so it is built in a circle." Ling Wuxin explained.
"Great! The circle outside can be square, which saves time, and most importantly, I can dry some things on the top!" Yiyi looked around for measuring tools and found a hemp rope that was originally used to tie firewood, and took out a piece of charcoal from the stove, which was enough.
"Husband, is this position enough as the center point?" Yiyi planned to draw two concentric circles to complete the inner layer. However, she had to wait for Xiaoba to bring the grinding wheel to confirm it.
"Good boy, you can move out a little bit so there's room for the firewood. The shed can be made bigger." Ling Wuxin measured with his feet and took a few steps out before stopping.
"Okay! Let's decide on this position first." Yiyi used charcoal to mark the place where he would stand.
"Brother, do you think this millstone is big enough?" Xiao Ba was seen wrapping the large millstone with a long cloth belt, tying the belt to his shoulders, and holding the millstone with both hands. He transported the millstone back to the hot spring valley in this way, and Ling Wuxin stepped forward to help unload it. Yiyi measured the inner and outer radii of the millstone with a hemp rope, and then used the hemp rope and charcoal to draw two concentric circles on the ground with the marked position as the center.
"My dear, you can dig the foundation at the location of this circle. I will leave a gap of about five inches between the inner and outer layers. If it is too big, I am afraid it will be difficult to heat! The chimney is here at the back, and the furnace door is here in the front." Yiyi explained while drawing lines, and then drew an outer square and inner circle diagram on the ground, which made it clear at a glance. Ling Wuxin kept watching his wife's movements with gentle eyes. He knew that his wife was excellent, but he didn't expect her to be so excellent and could easily master all the skills of a craftsman. When Xiao Ba saw such an operation, he was shocked and stared at her. He didn't dare to blink and stared at her. At this moment, he noticed that his heartbeat was getting faster! Life encounters are so wonderful, and you get certainty inexplicably at an inadvertent moment!
After finishing the drawing, Yiyi, who had no idea, stood up, threw away the charcoal and rope, clapped her hands and stood aside. "The rest of the work is up to you! Come on, come on! Try to finish it this afternoon!"
"Little sister, what are you doing?" Yanan and Bai Lu happened to come, followed by Hua Heng and Xiao Jiu.
"Ah, second sister, you're okay. We are just planning to build a clay oven. We are just about to start. Please sit down. Come over here, eldest sister." Yiyi asked everyone to sit down.
Xiaojiu and Huaheng were curiously looking at the map on the ground. Very good! Both of them were caught on the spot and used as free labor! Xiaojiu was dragged by Xiaoba to dig mud, while Huaheng worked with Ling Wuxin to tidy up the foundation. Now that there are more people, I believe it will be built soon. Yiyi was relieved, and she sat under the eaves behind the wooden house and chatted with her sisters.
Yanan: "I'll make one over there, too."
Bai Lu: "I want to make one in Xiaoyaoyuan too."
"Well... it's just a bit wasteful. If iron plates were used instead, it would save time and energy." Yiyi felt a little regretful. In this era, iron is still a scarce resource. No, it should be said that it is a resource to be discovered. There should be a lot of iron ore reserves, but only shallow mines have been discovered.
What else can they do?! The three sisters looked at each other, their eyes revealing the same meaning, they have the will but not the ability, if they don’t have the ability, they might as well give up! Anyway, it’s not the first time they choose to give up, who said that crossing borders is easy?! They will be beaten to death and will not be buried!
