Fertile land

Chapter 133

Li Zhengsen puffed out a smoke ring while smoking, frowning,

"I don't know what's going on."

"However, she, Luo Zhi'er, had better pray that she doesn't do anything detrimental to Lao Li's family!"

Zhao Xiaomei inexplicably wanted to give him a look. She didn't want to eat the rice in the bowl and threw it aside.
The next day, Luo Zhi'er got up in the morning and went to the river to fetch two loads of water.

I gathered a few handfuls of grass for the mule from the field by the river, chopped it up with a knife and threw it in.
Clean the pig trough, disinfect it at high temperature, pour some water in and give it a drink!

In the morning, people came to her house to see the mule. Luo Zhier let them look at it openly, while Aunt Xie made innuendo.

Find out where she got the money to buy the mule?

Ma Erniang asked how much it cost.

Zhao Xiaomei from Li Zhengsen’s family also came, as if she couldn’t open her eyes.
Seeing the mules grazing and growing strong, I felt extremely sour.

Why can't it die from mule plague?

Luo Zhi'er picked up the broom and swept the floor without blinking, still saying what he said yesterday.

"My father is still good to me!"

It was Lao Luotou who gave her some dowry back then.

It was inconvenient to go to town, so I bought a mule cart to travel around.

Money given by my father.

What can they say?
Zhao Xiaomei couldn't help it anymore and said a few more words of righteousness and indignation when she saw people: "Sanmao daughter-in-law, the second aunt has to say something to you!"

Luo Zhi'er raised his eyes and looked at her with a half-smile.

Zhao Xiaomei was a little uncomfortable,

"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are still in jail, and so is your man Sanmao. You are enjoying yourself at home."

"This really shouldn't be done. Also, does your mother-in-law know about the dowry your father, Luo Tou, gave you? You are so selfish, how could you spend it by yourself at this juncture?"

"Your family will have a lot of money to spend in the future. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Miaomiao and Sanmao as a big family!"

"Li Lei ran away with a lot of debt!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Someone has already agreed!
What they are talking about is a righteous and awe-inspiring couple. Most people blame themselves and want to bury their heads in the soil.
Luo Zhi'er's face didn't turn red, her heart didn't beat, and her eyes revealed murderous intent, "Second aunt, can you tell me what the dowry means? What is it used for?"

Zhao Xiaomei blocked it.

"If you don't tell me, as far as I'm concerned, the dowry is a sum of money given to the daughter by the woman's parents. It is so that the daughter will not be wronged by her husband's family and can live a better life when she is wronged!"

"I, Luo Zhi'er, am in trouble now. Which of your relatives has helped me? I used the money my father gave me to tide me over. What happened?"

"But."

"This is the woman's pre-marital property. What does it have to do with Lao Li's family?"

"What does it have to do with your Li Zhengsen family?"

The sound is louder than the sound.

"As for whether I buy a mule or a horse, it's all my money, Luo Zhi'er's money. Who has the right to make any judgment on it?"

"Also, every grievance has its own owner. I didn't hear that Li Lei had to use my third sister-in-law's dowry money to help him fill the debt! The government has let me back and won't hold me accountable. Why are you anxious? "

"Tell me, do you wish our family would have a bad life?"

"This, this, I'm just saying, what do you mean by that? Look at how powerful your mouth is!"

"Haha! People are bullied when they are good, and people ride on them when they are good. If you just say this, what do the people in the village think of me?"

"Second Aunt, have I, Luo Zhi'er, come to your house and accused your daughter-in-law of spending money?"

"Did you use your dowry to support your second wife? Oh, I understand, is it tradition for you to take your wife's dowry?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't take Wei Zi's wife's dowry!"

Slap your face!
"Get out of the way, I'm going to sweep the floor!"

Zhao Xiaomei went back in disgrace!
Others also went back angrily.
This Luo Zhi'er turned out to be a tyrant, "Hey, why do you think San Mao's wife has changed her gender?"

"Could it be that you fell into the river last time and got possessed by a water ghost?"

"Nonsense, isn't her man squatting in the jail and getting stimulated? Doesn't the dog have to jump over the wall when it gets anxious?"

"Yeah, maybe he's very angry!" Seeing them leaving, Luo Zhi'er boiled the big pig bones he bought yesterday in the pot.

She let Miaomiao sleep a little longer.

This girl was tired from running yesterday. When these people came this morning, she didn't even wake up because of the big chatter.

Little girl, it will be better if you grow taller and expand your brain cells. It will be better if you sleep more.

The pork bone soup was simmering in the pot, and the rice was steaming in the pot. Seeing that Miao Miao was still sleeping, I thought of yesterday's idea and started to implement it.
First choose a piece of land.

Walking around the yard, she saw the chicken pen on the right, the mountain on the left, and a piece of the garden below that she had dug out to make a fish pond.

It seemed that this garden was the only one that could be used. On the left side of the garden next to the side house, she began to think about building a bread kiln.

The food at home is too monotonous. Corn flour can not only be made into chewy polenta, but can also be used to bake bread.

You can also bake pizza, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
Everything can be grilled!
Miaomiao, Muqing and Yunliang must like to eat it.

You can make this by yourself on a daily basis, or you can take it to the town and sell it, which may increase your income!

She recalled the materials needed for the bread kiln, including stones, bricks, and soil.
Lao Li's family does not have bricks and stones. Later, he will go to the village chief's house to buy some unused bricks for their house.

After thinking about it, I decided to just make an earthen kiln.

Didn't Qian'er dig out a lot of clay when digging the fish pond, and used it to build a bread kiln.

After making up his mind, he started to prepare, and Miao Miao also woke up.

After breakfast, the couple went to the village chief's house and bought two wheelbarrows of bricks.

I went to the river and picked up some square stones.

Feeling that the materials were about the same, she started to get a tape measure from home to measure the size of the foundation and the size of the bricks. Generally, bricks were laid on these three sides. The height of the bricks looked at her height, and it was about 80cm.

Find Miaomiao's pen and paper and start drawing the design.

The top is roughly designed to be an oval castle, plastered with mud, a bit like a bear's head, very naive.

There are also chimneys, doors, and brick stoves underneath.
Draw a picture and calculate it based on the selected position on the ground. Now start making the basics.

The tools are your hands and a shovel you can use at home. To smooth the tool, just find a flat board.

Mix the clay with water, lay the foundation with stones and bricks first, hang a small stone with a rope, and lay the bricks bit by bit, being careful not to make the bricks crooked.

It was almost dark when the brickwork was finished, so Miaomiao helped her pass the bricks and apply mud.

When Luo Zhier was laying bricks, he also called Miaomiao the method of making bread kiln and the principle of baking bread.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Luo Zhi'er washed the mud off his hands, changed into clean clothes, and heated up the morning bone soup.

After looking at the vegetables in the basket, I fried a piece of shredded beans and pork, and ordered a piece of noodles. The two of them were very satisfied with the meal.

In the evening, after everyone in the village has gone to bed, we go out to catch eels as usual.
It was already midnight when I got home. I gave Miaomiao a bath in the house. She also scrubbed herself clean, put on comfortable underwear, and had a comfortable sleep.

The next day, she got up before dawn. Miaomiao asked her to sleep more because she came back late last night!
Hurry to work in the bread kiln and start building the kiln mouth. The kiln mouth needs to be supported by an arched tool.
After the kiln mouth is built, a circular furnace body must be built, and the inner hall must be coated with clay. This requires several thick layers.

Then build a chimney above the furnace mouth. After building the chimney, apply clay to the outer layer of the kiln.
The entire kiln's brick joints were then plastered with clay, and it was barely completed until the afternoon!

Miao Miao's eyes sparkled when she saw this naive blind bear in Tuyao: "Mother, can you bake bread now?"

"Not yet, Miao Miao has to go collect firewood with her mother, and the kiln needs to be dried for three days."

"There are still some subtle improvements to be made later!"

"Oh, what a hassle!"

"No, it's not that easy. You have to persist in doing things!"

"Yes, mother!"

Tap the tip of her nose.

Her behavior was noticed by the Li Zhengsen family next door. Seeing her busy here and there, the couple picked up stones and mixed mud, so they originally wanted to come over and ask.

They were too embarrassed to come. His wife just came to inquire about the mule yesterday morning. She was so upset that they felt very unhappy!
The daughter-in-law came back and said that she could no longer see people in the village.

He was also a little helpless!People don't take him as an uncle seriously at all.

As she was talking, she was pointed at and scolded by her nephew's wife. When she was crying, she happened to be heard by Li Wei, who had just returned from vacation in the town.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Zhao Xiaomei then narrated the incident to her son with added detail. After hearing this, Li Wei's brows tightened!
Why did this third sister-in-law change her temper? He remembered that her previous personality was not like this?
After taking a breath, she turned the topic to a more important matter and asked her mother:
"Mom, during this period, are there people in the village who can go to Yumanlou in town to sell eels and bullfrogs? Or have you heard of some strange food?"
