Chapter 162 Making a Brazier Letter

As soon as Jiang Xiaoli walked away, Yun Yingying came to Han Li and said.

"Let's go quickly. When I was a kid, I piled mud into houses and squeezed little people. Now I can't wait."

When Yang Xiuying heard this, she gathered around and said, "How old are you and you still want to play in the mud?"

Han Li said with a smile: "Isn't there a brazier prepared at home? Anyway, we are free now, so we plan to make it ourselves. The weather is not too cold now. If we can't make it, we can go to the villagers to buy it. Not too late."

Yang Xiuying became excited when she heard this. Playing with mud and making a brazier sounded very interesting, and it was better than having someone stick a note on her face.

"Then you must bring me one. I also want to make a brazier for the house with my own hands."

Yang Xiuying's words also touched others. After all, everyone is young. No matter how mature and stable they usually are, they are forced by reality and unfamiliar environments. Now there is such an activity that is full of childlike innocence and can save yourself money. They all want to be a part of it.

So Hao Hongmin and He Mi turned their attention to Han Li and Yun Yingying, and even the man Zhang Xiangjun looked like this.

Even Wu Lili, who had not yet left, came over, stared at Han Li and spoke.

"Then can everyone bring me one? I also want to make myself a brazier."

Although Wu Lili's generous action just now restored everyone's goodwill, the original thing she did was indeed not very good, so everyone did not say anything, but turned their attention to Han Li, the initiator of the brazier.

Yun Jingjing's eyes focused for a moment. She knew that people like Wu Lili would shine brightly if given a little sunshine, and she was the best at climbing along the pole.

Although Han Li was unwilling to take Wu Lili to play, he couldn't refuse her directly in public, so he said with a smile.

"There's nothing wrong with that. I'll tell you everything I know about how to make a brazier. However, I still need to take care of my spouse and friends, so I can't help you with the raw materials."

Wu Lili wanted to blend in among these people now, and she didn't care about the raw materials at all, so she quickly nodded and agreed after hearing Han Li's agreement.

Everyone needs soil to make a brazier, but Han Li told them where the best place to get soil was because he learned from his aunt that there was only one place nearby where the loess was the most sticky.

In addition, other additives are needed, such as tough weeds, twine rope ends or dry horse manure, but no matter which one is used, they need to be cut into small pieces. These things need to be added to the loess and a piece of quilt Mix into mud.

After Han Li made it clear what he needed, he took the Yun sisters with a shovel and a basket and set off first.

The others went to look for the tools they needed separately. Wu Lili saw that Han Li said he didn't care, so in order to integrate smoothly, she could only borrow a shovel and a basket, and then followed everyone to the place where the soil was lifted.

(Back basket: A back basket is different from a back basket. It should be a unique tool in the north. Its basket is made of thick rattan or wicker braiding, and is connected to a thick piece of wood that has been softened and bent. The body is very bulky, but the role of a backpack in rural areas is not small at all. In many situations, a basket is more useful than a basket.)

When Han Li and the other three were walking to the place where the soil was taken, Yun Jingjing suddenly asked.

"A person like Wu Lili is not a peaceful person. Why did you agree to take her with you just now?"

Han Li's mentality at this time was much better than when he first went to the countryside. He asked his sister-in-law's question without even thinking about it.

"What if I don't bring it with me? Think about it, is it really good to directly reject someone like Wu Lili in front of so many people? She just stayed in the front yard and house. Even if she accidentally went to the backyard, it doesn't matter. Our family Everything inside is put away, and I’m not afraid of being looked at.”

Yun Jingjing heard what Han Li said about our family, and then she thought of something and said it to Han Li seriously.

"I will help you keep an eye on Wu Lili."

Han Li was a little confused when he heard what she said. What did she mean? Are you afraid that you will fall into Wu Lili's beauty trap?

However, they have now arrived at the land acquisition site, so we should discuss this topic later when we have the opportunity.

The ground was not too frozen at this time, and even if it was frozen, it would not be a problem for Han Li.

After Han Li used his shovel to push aside the snow, he began to work hard to break the frozen layer. With his swing of the shovel, he quickly dug into the loess.

At this time, other people also came one after another. They have all experienced the temper of an autumn harvest. It is not a problem for everyone to pack a basket of soil since the frozen layer has broken.

After loading the soil, everyone returned home. Even if Han Li had nothing to do at this time, Yun Yingying was very energetic now and had to do everything by herself. He would not rob Yun Yingying of her fun.

He sat with Zhang Xiangjun, watching each other use scissors to cut weeds and twine bit by bit, while others were doing the same thing.

Han Li: "Actually, you can choose horse manure. That thing is available in the cowshed, so you don't need to cut it. It will save trouble?"

Han Li's words drew a lot of eye rolls. Although everyone hadn't prepared the brazier yet, they still knew its efficacy.

This brazier is truly a multi-purpose pot. It can not only burn iron for ironing clothes, boil water, and heat rice, but can also cook potatoes, sweet potatoes, baked bean buns, and popcorn in it. Almost all of these are food. If you use it with Can horse dung be mixed together to feel energetic?

Yang Xiuying: "Then why don't you let Sister Yun and the others use horse manure?"

Han Li: "Because I have ready-made twine at home, and I don't want my partner to play with horse manure."

.

Han Li's words immediately made everyone chatter to death, once again attracting everyone's eyes.

The next step is to make mud. At this time, no one would mind having cold hands and everyone is having a great time.

After the mud is mixed, it needs to rest for a while. Han Li asked them each to bring a pot of the size they like as a mold.

Turn the pot upside down, then knead the yellow mud evenly and wipe it on the pot little by little until the entire pot is tightly wrapped. The thickness of the mud should be at least about an inch. The next step is to make the rim of the pot. Ears, base.

Finally, when it is put back in the backlit area of ​​their home until it is half dry, they use tiles and bowls to polish the inside and outside smooth, and then wait until the mud is completely dry. The brazier will be considered complete, but if the brazier is not done well, its service life will be One year at most.

During this period, Wu Lili deliberately asked Han Li some questions, and even hoped that Han Li could teach her personally.

But then she was retorted by Yun Jingjing, but she restrained herself a little when she spoke and did not make Wu Lili stand down on the spot.

Wu Lili gritted her teeth secretly, and then pretended to be nonchalant and slowly started making the brazier with everyone.

After Yun Yingying made the model of the brazier, she saw that there was so much dirt left on the ground, so she started to knead various objects, such as puppies and chickens, whatever she thought of, and others followed suit after seeing it.

Only Zhang Xiangjun, a man who was too embarrassed to follow those little animals, washed his hands and sat chatting with Han Li.

At this time, there was first a bicycle bell ringing outside the street gate, and then the familiar voice of the postman.

"Han Li, Zhang Xiangjun, Hao Hongmin, Yang Xiuying, Yun Jingjing, and Wu Lili are here to get your letters, remittance orders, and parcel orders."

This time, everyone in the courtyard cheered and stood up. Some people ran out without even washing their hands.

The only ones who didn't move in the yard were He Mi and Qi Zhaodi. Han Li followed everyone out after seeing their expressions were as usual.

The postman saw the group of people running out of a house in front of him, their clothes, faces, and hands covered with mud, and he was immediately amused.

"Haha. You are living so young. There are so many people gathering together to play in the mud."

Han Li: "We have stopped playing with mud at this age. We are making braziers for ourselves when the weather gets cold."

"Yes, you people know how to live a good life. You are much better than the educated youth in other brigades, right? Comrade Han Li. This time I have six letters from you, as well as a remittance slip and a parcel slip. Please sign for them."

Only Zhang Xiangjun and Wu Lili were surprised by the number of letters from Han Li. Everyone else was used to this kind of thing.

Han Li stepped forward and put the letter away immediately after signing. He did not intend to read the letter in front of so many people.

Yun Jingjing received it by registered mail, which also needed to be signed for in person.

Zhang Xiangjun and Yun Jingjing only had one letter, while Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying had one more parcel list.

At this time, several people were not in the mood to continue kneading those little things, so they took their own brazier clay embryos and went home.

The only ones left in the Han Li family are the Yun sisters, He Mi, and Qi Zhaodi. The Yun sisters only glanced at the address of the letter and their expressions were ugly, and they felt a little absent-minded in doing things.

Han Li pulled Yun Yingying and said, "How about we ask He Mi to help make mutton soup at noon? You two can take a rest."

Yun Yingying nodded, but her face was full of worries, and He Mi said understandingly at this time.

"Then at noon, Qi Xiaomei and I will feast on you some mutton. You two go and have a rest first. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

The Yun sisters said thank you to He Mi, and the two of them walked into the house together.

He Mi looked at Han Li and whispered: "You are already dating Yun Yingying. It seems that you don't know much about their family's situation."

"Does this matter? I am dating Yun Yingying, not her family. What about the quality of her family? I am dealing with her as a person, not her family."

"Then don't worry about the worst-case scenario. If that happens, it may affect you for the rest of your life."

Han Li thought to himself, I can't tell you that I know the future development.

Even if the worst happens, Han Li will only be entering the system two years late.
