Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 71 Wife, Let’s Get Started (asking for monthly tickets)

The surface of the firewood-saving stove is almost dry and there are no cracks.

Xu Ye’s mixing ratio is relatively good, so it doesn’t dry particularly fast.

Just as he was about to test the fire, he heard someone crying outside.

"Mom, mom, why are you so miserable?"

"He was fine, but now he has hemiplegia and can't even speak."

"Mother..."

It's just that the crying wasn't sincere enough and sounded fake.

Xu Ye guessed what was going on, so he walked outside.

Jiang Ruyue and Jiang Ruoan also heard the crying sounds and walked out directly.

"Isn't the Widow Jia still alive? Why is Liu Quansheng crying like she's at a funeral?" Jiang Ruoan walked quickly to Xu Ye's side.

What surprised Xu Ye was that Liu Quansheng brought the person back so early.

Shouldn't he be hospitalized?
Take him directly back home to die?

That's really filial piety.

When the three of them walked to the gate, they saw the brigade's donkey carts slowly approaching, and Liu Quansheng was crying on the cart at the back.

Xu Ye paid attention to Liu Quansheng to see how he reacted to him.

Then Xu Ye found that there was no reaction when he passed by his door, but when he arrived at the door of Zhang Sanbao's house, he looked up and glanced at the door of Zhang Sanbao's house.

Obviously, he blamed the Zhang family for his mother's stroke.

It is possible that it was caused by the Zhang family knocking on the door that night.

Seeing the donkey cart going away, Jiang Ruoan no longer had any interest in watching the fun.

"Let's go pick vegetables. They will come to see whether the energy-saving stove saves firewood or not soon." As he said this, he pulled his sister to the kitchen.

Xu Ye went back to his room and started writing a letter of complaint.

After finishing the firewood-saving stove issue in the evening, he could deliver it to the commune overnight.

If nothing unexpected happens, the commune will send people to search tomorrow.

Xu Ye deliberately wrote ugly characters and even used pinyin in some places.

To be on the safe side, he wrote five copies.

After writing these letters of complaint, Xu Ye went to the yard to train the dog, waiting for Fan Dajun and others to arrive.

Ten minutes later, Fan Dajun arrived first, bringing some beans, some rice and a bottle of wine.

Obviously, he was planning to have a free meal at Xu Ye's house.

Next came Yang Zongming, who also took some vegetables and some rice.

"Master, I will eat at home tonight. This is my meal." Zhang Fu handed a bag directly to Xu Ye.

Seeing the other party calling him Master, the smile on Xu Ye's face became even wider.

Yes, this Zhang is smart and knows how to seize opportunities.

Only when the road is wide can you go far.

"That's thoughtful. Let's have a couple of drinks together tonight." Xu Ye patted Zhang Fu's arm.

Xu Ye didn't think that Zhang Fu couldn't become his disciple just because he was older than him.

If you only consider age when choosing a master to learn skills, then your path will be narrow.

Zhang Gui and Zhang Sanbao also came along, bringing with them some smoked sparrows and peanuts, which looked like good things to go with wine.

Xu Ye's father-in-law and his cousin Lin Hai also came, but his father-in-law came empty-handed.

After all, I was visiting my daughter and son-in-law's house, so there was no need to carry anything.

Lin Hai's family was of average condition, so he brought some sweet potato rice over. It was all his own food.

Obviously, these people had discussed it beforehand.

There are not many wealthy households nowadays, and they feel embarrassed to eat for free.

After everyone arrived, Xu Ye asked Zhang Sanwan to go to his house, moved his pots and rice steamers over, and also asked his mother Wang Chunhua to come along.

Then they closed the door to the yard. Li Qing now lived directly with Gu Yun and didn't need to come back to get food.

Everyone came to the kitchen and put Zhang's pot on the stove.

"Wife, let's start."

"Captain, the job of making fire tonight is up to you."

Only by lighting a fire yourself can you know whether a wood-saving stove actually saves fire.

Jiang Ruoan had been eager to get started. When she heard Xu Ye say to start, she stood in front of the stove and started working.

She poured water into two pots and turned on the fire in the outer stove, preparing to cook the rice until it was semi-hard and then steam it in the rice steamer.

People who have two pots will cook this way because it is more efficient.

Wang Chunhua was standing behind Jiang Ruoan, looking eager to try.

"The fire is so strong, it just started..." Fan Dajun, who was in charge of lighting the fire, couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Block the stove mouth so that the fire will burn more vigorously." As he said this, Xu Ye handed a palm-leaf fan to Fan Dajun.

Fan Dajun doubtfully covered the stove with his palm-leaf fan, and then he heard the roar of fire.

He didn't cover it completely, so he could still see the burning inside the stove.

The fire was indeed burning, but he was also confused.

"This, what is the principle behind this?" Fan Dajun looked at Xu Ye and felt that his common sense had been overturned.

"Thermodynamic principles, plus secondary combustion."

"The fuel-saving stove is a multi-stage structure that uses flues to accelerate air circulation while also allowing the carbon monoxide and carbon particles produced during combustion to undergo secondary combustion."

Xu Ye gave an explanation.

Although everyone didn't understand, they all nodded vigorously.

"The water is boiling! This stove is so fast. The water boiled in just a moment." Wang Chunhua exclaimed, feeling it was incredible.

It takes at least three times as long for her stove to boil water.

Jiang Ruoan poured the rice directly into the boiling water, and when the rice was half soft, he poured the sweet potato rice in as well.

Finally, scoop it out and pour it into the rice steamer, then put it into the inner pot that has already started to boil.

The water used to cook rice is like milk, and they call it rice soup.

When a child has no milk to drink, he will be fed with rice soup.

Put some pickles in the rice soup and cook them, and you will have a delicious pickle soup, which goes very well with rice.

After washing the pot, Jiang Ruoan started cooking.

Now that there is no shortage of oil at home, Jiang Ruoan directly scooped a spoonful of white wild boar oil into the pot, which made Wang Chunhua feel distressed.

Now she finally understood why the rice cooked at Xu Ye's home smelled so good.

With so much oil, you can even fry the soles of your shoes and they will smell delicious.

"Quick, too fast."

"Four dishes were fried at once, and the rice was steamed?" Yang Zongming still had a look of doubt on his face.

"And it really saves firewood. I think it's incredible that it can save half the firewood." Fan Dajun said in shock.

He didn't add much firewood into the stove, but mainly moved it to the middle of the stove.

Xu Ye smiled slightly, very satisfied with everyone's shock.

The more shocked they were, the more confident they became about the fuel-saving stove.

He looked at Fan Dajun and smiled, "This is normal. Many earthen stoves in rural areas are built by farmers themselves."

"For the same template, everyone will produce very different results."

"As long as we promote the fuel-saving stoves and let people in each brigade know the benefits of fuel-saving stoves, the construction team will make endless money in the future."

Yang Zongming immediately grasped the key point and asked quickly: "Xu Ye, tell me quickly, how can we let everyone in the team know?"

"You can't just ask everyone to come to your house for a meal and watch you cook, right?"

"They don't have the time. Everyone has endless farm work to do."
