Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

The next day

The weather today is not very good, there are clouds and the sky is very low.

It looks like it's going to rain.

In such weather conditions, the chance of snow is usually low.

To be honest, what Liu Guozheng hates most in his life is the changing weather when the New Year is approaching. It rains, snows, and then sleet from time to time, and the New Year passes in the dampness.

However, seeing the weather today, Liu Guozheng did not feel annoyed at all. On the contrary, he hoped very much that it would rain or snow, just to alleviate the drought that had lasted for half a year. Even a slightly wet ground could bring great hope.

Unfortunately, this hope is destined not to be realized.

The clouds passed by, and the sun showed its smiling face again from under the clouds.

Just as we were about to have lunch, an unexpected person arrived.

That was Xu Damao, riding that broken bicycle with the projection equipment behind the seat.

Liu Guozheng once suspected that Xu Damao had come at the right time to catch up with dinner.

It's a good opportunity for us to have dinner together. We don't need one more person. We can just let Xu Damao show a good movie in the evening.

After dinner, when we took down the projection equipment, we saw clearly that there was a bulging bag on the back of the car. I didn't know what was inside, but there was a faint fragrance wafting out.

"Brother Zheng, look what I brought?"

Everyone wanted to see what Xu Damao was carrying.

Although Xu Damao is a bit cunning, he basically never comes empty-handed when he visits someone.

When Xu Damao took out the things and lifted the oil paper, the fragrance wafted out.

"Roast Duck?"

It was really roast duck, I brought two.

There were also a few bottles of wine, not good ones, just the local wine Erguotou, and a bottle of Fenjiu.

It seems that this guy has really invested a lot of money.

It's true. After Liu Guozheng traveled through time, he really didn't have the chance to taste the roast duck of Sijiu City. He had eaten too much roast duck in his previous life, including roadside roast duck, roast duck in specialized roast duck restaurants, and the well-known Bianjing roast duck in Henan Province. He had tasted them all, but the roast duck of Sijiu City was the only one he had not eaten.

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao remembered to bring two roast ducks

"Haha, Damao, you're a great kid. How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"Brother Zheng, we have completed the projection task before the New Year, so you can stay for a few days. However, the projection equipment needs to be returned in two days."

Xu Damao is Xu Damao, and he was a little smart when he spoke. The projection equipment cannot stay for a long time, but people can.

Liu Guozheng smiled and didn't care. The young people in the village were like Erlang, and Lao San and the others didn't dislike Xu Damao. On the contrary, they got along well with each other. The main reason was that Xu Damao was good at livening up the atmosphere.

"Xu Damao, what's wrong with that on your forehead?"

Erleng suddenly asked.

Liu Guozheng saw it the first time, but Xu Damao didn't say anything and he didn't ask.

If my estimation is correct, this guy should have been beaten, and the one who beat him should be Sha Zhu.

"hehe."

"I fell accidentally."

Xu Damao's smile was a little forced.

"Da Mao, did you do something bad and get caught again?"

Erlang's eyes turned and he thought of the first time Xu Damao came. After drinking, Xu Damao boasted about his glorious deeds, so Erlang asked this question.

"Erlang, I told you I was just bragging after drinking last time, why don't you believe me?"

It was impossible to admit it, unless one was drunk.

Erlang thought to himself, if he doesn’t want to admit it, then don’t admit it. I’ll know when we drink.

Then he took Xu Damao to put the projection equipment in the classroom, and the two of them went to find Lao San. Erlang had been idle these past two days and was very bored. He wanted to find someone to drink with, but his wife was in charge and didn't allow him to drink too much.

Let’s find someone to play cards with, we don’t have enough people.

The older people were all playing chess in the house, and no one would play cards with him.

Li Dabao has returned to the factory, Chen Weiguo is also at the mine, and it is even less likely that Nan Yi will come, as the New Year is coming soon and they are busy too.

Liu Guozheng and Lou Xiaoe spend every day together, so it is even more impossible for him to play cards with them.

It just so happens that Xu Damao came today, so I can play for a while in the afternoon.

Seeing the roast duck brought by Xu Damao, Liu Guozheng remembered that he had initially wanted to make a hanging oven for making sesame cakes. However, he gave up the idea because he didn't know how to make them. Besides, the hanging oven had too many limitations except for making sesame cakes, so he never made it.

Now is the time to get a universal oven.

There was still one oil barrel that Chen Weiguo brought last time, which could be used as an oven.

I went to see Master Yuan and told him my idea.

With the help of Master Yuan, I started to try it.

Big iron tunnel.

Suitable length of steel bars.

There is also very sticky clay that can be used to make the liner.

The two began to discuss, slowly experiment and improve.

Finally it was done.

There is also a round iron plate on top that can be rotated to the other side, which can be considered a pancake oven.

In addition to baking pancakes, the oven can also be used to make roast chicken, roast duck, roast lamb legs, etc.

Either coal or charcoal can be used.

However, if you want it to taste good, you still need charcoal, preferably fruit charcoal.

For Liu Guozheng, who has a second world and has the backing of a mountain, these are not a problem. He directly lets his clone start making a batch of fruit charcoal in the second world.

After the stove is ready, light the fire first and dry the inner pot first.

When I see something inappropriate, I slowly improve it.

It wasn't until the evening that the work was finally completed.

Of course, we had a dish of roast duck for dinner. Even though there were only two pieces, each person could get a piece or two to try. We could say that we had tasted the best roast duck in Beijing.

If you want to eat it later, you need to bake it yourself.

Even if there are no ducks now, we can only make roast chicken, roast lamb leg or something like that.

After dinner, there was a movie.

Both films ended at nine o'clock in the evening.

The rest of the time was spent drinking with Xu Damao.

As he drank, and Erlang kept talking, Xu Damao couldn't control himself anymore.

It turned out to be just as Liu Guozheng had guessed.

The wound on Xu Damao’s forehead was really caused by Sha Zhu.

This time, Xu Damao came to Hope New Village for his own purpose, which was to learn a few tricks here and then return to the Siheyuan for revenge.

Liu Guozheng didn't care about Xu Damao's idea. As long as he could hold on, everything would be fine. He just needed to train well and beat Sha Zhu in a short time. It was unrealistic, after all, there was a gap in strength between the two.

If you learn well and have enough time, it shouldn't be a problem.

Liu Guozheng can give him the opportunity.

It depends on whether he can hold on.
