The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 185 Hand Stove
After breakfast, Han Sanwei went out with a large bag of caramel, and several other people also went out, and Han Qianluo was the only one left picking cotton at home.

It is already the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is very cold, coupled with the cold wind outside, so Han Qianluo just picked the cotton silk for a while, and his hands were freezing, but no matter how cold it was, he had to work, so he rubbed his hands and continued to work.

It just so happened that a gust of cold wind came in from the door at this time, making her feel even colder. Looking at the door not far in front of her, she really wanted to close the door to make the room warmer, but closing the door would make the room dark , nothing can be done, and there is no electric light now, so she still gave up the idea.

It would be great if there was electricity, Han Qianluo thought, the movement of her hands didn't stop, but she suddenly thought of another clean and convenient thing, that was biogas, and it was not complicated, she thought she could try it.

The more Han Qianluo thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to start preparing immediately, but at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew from outside, which calmed him down immediately.

Being blown by the cold wind, Han Qianluo felt that it was too cold. She thought about it, since she couldn't close the door, she should go find some clothes to put on, but after another thought, there was no cotton now, so clothes It's not very warm, so forget it.

After thinking for a while, Han Qianluo finally remembered an ancient object: a hand stove, also called a fire cage, a kind of stove that can be held in the hand to keep warm, and has a handle for moving, and can also be held in the arms to keep warm Very convenient.

It's just that I just remembered such a good thing for heating, and Han Qianluo remembered that her house didn't have this kind of movement, and I haven't seen anyone who has it. Thinking about it this way, she felt that there might be no such thing now, and she was a little discouraged. .

But then Han Qianluo became happy again. Since there is no such thing as a hand stove at this time, she can make it and sell it to those rich people, and she can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

This thought made her very happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop turning up, but she soon recovered from this excitement, it was still because of the cold.

Thinking of the hand stove, she naturally thought of the brazier, which is a tool for people to keep warm, but she always thinks that the brazier is only used by the elderly, so she is very reluctant to use the brazier for heating.But now she didn't care about these anymore, and quickly got a brazier and put it under her feet.

After having the brazier, Han Qianluo felt a lot warmer all of a sudden, and by the way, he felt that the room seemed to be a lot warmer too.

"Third sister, third sister."

Suddenly the gate of the outside yard was opened from the outside, and Han Sanwei ran in from the outside, followed by a group of children, the age difference was not too big, the younger ones were seven or eight years old, and the older ones were eleven or twelve years old. look.

"Why did you come back so early?" Han Qianluo asked puzzled.

Han Sanwei put a bag of things in his hand next to him, and said as if asking for credit: "Sister San, I cleaned up this bag."

"I have to check." Han Qianluo gave him a distrustful look, then opened the bag, flipped through the cottonseed inside, and it was indeed cleaned, so he praised, "Yes, it's all cleaned up " Just finished speaking, and found that this group of children had squatted next to her to help pick cotton.

Seeing this, Han Qianluo quickly stopped her and said, "Go and play, you don't need to help." If those narrow-minded parents find out about this, they shouldn't make trouble with her.

One of the little boys with a runny nose, swarthy body, and many patches on his clothes looked up and said pitifully, "But Sanwei said that if we help out for a morning, he will give us a copper coin." , give two a day."

Another little boy also looked at her eagerly and said: "I saw a kind of candy that looks delicious in the market. I want to eat it, but my mother won't buy it for me. I want to save money to buy it myself." .”

"The last time I saw a beautiful flower, my mother didn't even buy it for me." A little girl said, blinking her big watery eyes.

Immediately, a group of children began to talk about the things they wanted to buy. Looking at this scene, Han Qianluo felt a little headache, and finally nodded: "Well, if I do well, I will In addition, I will give you four Wen a day."

"Wouldn't you be able to have six cents that day? That's great." The runny-nosed little boy cheered.

Probably inspired by this sentence, these children who can't sit still have actually been helping here all day, and Han Qianluo naturally gave them six coins each as promised.

After the children left, Yu Wenxuan jokingly said, "Why did you let those children sit here obediently for a whole day?"

"It's not me, it's that brat Sanwei." Han Qianluo said with a wave of his hand, and then told what happened during the day.

"I didn't expect such a young child to know how to make money by working." Yu Wenxuan said with a smile.

Han Qianluo has always been thinking about the hand stove, so when she was having dinner at night, she said to her elder brother: "Brother, I want to make a stove, will you do it?"

"Stove? I haven't made it before, but it doesn't cost much to buy one." Han Qingquan looked up at her in confusion and said.

"I want to make a different stove. It's too troublesome for others to make it, and I want to make more and sell it." Han Qianluo said truthfully.

But Han Qingquan sighed, with a helpless expression on his face: "Xiao Luo, aren't you already very busy now, where do you have time to do those things?"

"I just thought I could make a fortune, and I didn't think so much." Han Qianluo scratched his head and said, "And after I make it, it will definitely spread quickly. I just wanted to make a fortune at the beginning. A sum, otherwise it would be a pity."

"There's no reason to earn all this money. If you feel it's a pity, you can let uncle earn the money." Han Qingquan said.

Han Qianluo thought about it for a while, and felt that this was pretty good. Now she felt that Feng Zhi was not too bad, and he was reluctant, so she said, "Then I will go to my little uncle tomorrow."

The next morning, Han Qianluo went out after breakfast, leaving Han Sanwei at home alone, and told him not to go out to play, but to stay at home and watch over the house.

It was not easy to find Feng Zhi, because he didn't have a fixed place to work, so Han Qianluo could only go to his house to see if he could find someone.

After finding Feng Zhi's house, she found that the door was closed tightly, and it seemed that no one was at home. Han Qianluo was a little disappointed, but she still knocked on the door with the mentality of trying it out, and it turned out that someone was indeed at home.

Soon, the door opened, and it was Feng Zhi who opened the door. Feng Zhi was a little surprised to see her: "Qianluo, why are you here? Come in, come in." He said while pulling Han Qianluo in.

Han Qianluo seldom comes to his little uncle's house, and this is only the third time he has come here. It is the same as the previous time. The house is exactly what a single man should be. Not rich.

"Little uncle, you really should find me an aunt." Han Qianluo said.

Feng Zhi hurriedly picked up the messy dishes and dustpans on the table and put them into the kitchen, then walked back and said, "Your little uncle looks like no other girl would want to marry."

"What's wrong with you like this, there are many people worse than you, aren't you still married?" Han Qianluo quickly retorted.

Feng Zhi didn't want to discuss this issue with her, so he quickly changed the subject: "Qian Luo, what are you doing here today?"

When Han Qianluo heard the words, he quickly said seriously: "Little uncle, do you know someone who can make stoves? I want to make a custom-made stove."

"There are a lot of people who know how to make stoves." Feng Zhi replied without thinking, and then he realized that he quickly asked, "What kind of stove do you plan to make, and you have to order it?"

Han Qianluo said carefully: "I plan to make a stove that can be hugged in my arms, so that I can keep warm at any time, which is very convenient."

"Your idea is really good, but what are you going to do?" Feng Zhi was very interested, and quickly moved a chair to sit aside and asked.

Han Qianluo explained the methods she knew in detail, and then said: "I planned to make more of this kind of stoves and sell them, and I could make a lot of money, but now I am too busy at home, so I don't have time , but after a period of time when the weather warms up, this kind of thing will be useless, and other people will learn it decisively, if you have time, little uncle, you can make some and buy some."

"Let me try it." Feng Zhi said, and then said, "Aren't you looking for someone to make a stove? I'll take you there now."

"it is good."

After Feng Zhi closed the door, he took Han Qianluo to find someone who could make a stove. The matter was very simple, and it was done quickly, and he went back after making an appointment to pick up the stove.What she asked the craftsman to do was only the core inside the hand stove, and the outer shell was made by another carpenter.

After parting with Feng Zhi, Han Qianluo went to the market to buy some vegetables and went back. When she walked to her door, before she could go in, she heard the noise of children.

Han Qianluo hurriedly opened the door and walked in, only to find that there were indeed a group of children in the room. They were the children from yesterday. She never thought that these children would come today. Originally, she thought that these children were just a whim. I won't come after working for a day, but I didn't expect it to be wrong.

"Why are you here?" Han Qianluo asked while changing his shoes.

Her appearance silenced the children all of a sudden, and the room became extremely quiet in an instant, completely different from the noise just now, as if the noise just now was just an illusion.
