When I arrived at the place, I saw Zhang Shouquan waiting there.
"Little Ancestor, you're finally here. This brick kiln has been burning for twelve hours, and the temperature is slowly cooling down. Let's see what to do next."
Qiu Yantang felt the temperature of the brick kiln and found that it had indeed cooled down, but it was still a little hot.
"Wait a little longer."
After a while, Qiu Yantang touched it based on his memory.
"Open the kiln!"
After opening it, Qiu Yantang saw neatly arranged bricks. Some of them were cracked in two due to burns, but 90% of them were intact!
Zhang Shouquan was dumbfounded by this scene.
"And...it really burned out?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yantang glanced at him and said, "So you think I can't cook it?"
Zhang Shouquan scratched his head. This was actually what he thought.
But I didn’t expect that the little ancestor is actually quite capable!
Qiu Yantang didn’t know. If he knew, he would definitely tell him that I am more than just a capable person.
"No, the little ancestor is very powerful!"
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Qiu Yantang looked at Zhang Shouquan, then looked at himself. Well, he had to go and inform Qiu Guangdong himself.
When I arrived at Qiu Guangdong's house, I saw Qiu Dingxiang running after Qiu Guangbei with a cane.
The moment he saw Qiu Yantang, he put down his crutches, "Hey, little aunt is here? Come and sit down."
When Qiu Yantang walked past Qiu Guangbei, he smelled an indescribable smell. In order to restrain the urge to vomit, Qiu Yantang tactically cleared his throat.
"Ahem, what's going on?"
“Dad, don’t tell the little ancestor, don’t I want to save face?”
Qiu Guangbei felt that it would be too embarrassing if this matter were to be made public!
"Now that you know you're embarrassed, then don't do that thing. You've made me lose face. Tell your ancestors what you did!"
Qiu Yantang was a little curious. Qiu Dingxiang was not the kind of person who would beat children, but now he was chasing and beating them. It seemed that his legs and feet had gotten better.
Looking at Qiu Yantang with his eyes wide open and a questioning look on his face, Qiu Guangbei also accepted his fate.
"I just blew up a manure pit, didn't I? What's the big deal..."
Hearing Qiu Guangbei's muttering, Qiu Yantang spat out the tea in his mouth.
So the taste just now was...
"Ahem, that's not the case..."
"Little aunt, he's just trying to be gentle and say he blew up the manure pit next to the ancestral hall! It's all over the place! I'm too embarrassed to face my ancestors!"
Clam?
Qiu Yantang was dumbfounded. He took one look at this naughty kid in his early twenties and thought, this son was spoiled by Ding Xiang after he had him in his old age.
Qiu Yantang stood up and patted Qiu Dingxiang on the shoulder.
"Ding Xiang, I think you didn't hit me hard enough. Please finish this quickly. I have something to do."
"Don't worry, little aunt!"
After Qiu Yantang went out, he specially helped Qiu Dingxiang close the door.
At the door, she heard Qiu Guangbei's screams, which sounded very satisfying!
After the sound stopped, Qiu Dingxiang came out of the house with a refreshed look on his face.
"Call the other elders and Guangdong as well."
Qiu Yantang thought of the current state of the ancestral hall and said, "Let's go to the brick kiln."
Qiu Dingxiang nodded and shouted into the house, "Didn't you hear what your little ancestor said? Go and call someone."
When Qiu Guangbei came out, Qiu Yantang burst into laughter. Who is this pighead?
"Little ancestor, you're still laughing. Look at my old man, he's hitting me in the face..."
Qiu Yantang took a step back and said, "Go quickly. This is your fault."
Qiu Guangbei felt a little resentful, but he still went.
Qiu Dingxiang looked at Qiu Guangbei's back and said to Qiu Yantang, "Little aunt, I spoiled him. I feel sorry for our ancestors."
Qiu Yantang waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, he's still a child, just remember to clean up properly."
After hearing this, Qiu Dingxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiu Yantang knew clearly in his mind that if the elders of the clan got together and decided to punish the ancestral temple by making it look like that, they would all be hung up and beaten. Now that Qiu Guangbei had gone out, everyone saw his appearance.
In addition, Qiu Yantang forgave him directly, so the matter can be considered to have come to an end.
Anyone who says anything more will be in trouble with Qiu Yantang.
"Thank you, little aunt. Let's go."
After saying that, the two of them rushed to the brick kiln. Because Qiu Dingxiang's legs and feet were just average, when they arrived, Qiu Guangdong and other elders were already there.
Looking at the red bricks, tears welled up in their eyes. Zhang Shouquan was not far away from them. Looking at these old men who were crying so hard that their noses were running, he didn't dare to move.
"You've made some progress!" Qiu Yantang said. "You chose me to be the head of our Qiu Village. These days, people all over the country have a hard time, but we still have to work hard. When my grandfather was alive, he made a lot of bricks, allowing most people in Qiu Village to live in brick and tile houses..."
Qiu Dingxiang nodded. It was indeed true. If it weren't for the ancestors, how could they have such a good life now? "Yes, it's all thanks to the ancestors..."
Listening to everyone's praise for her grandfather, Qiu Yantang nodded and said, "It's a pity that this craft was not passed down at that time. Today I have an idea. I want to pass this craft down!"
"Little aunt, do you mean to select people from the village to learn how to fire kilns and make red bricks?"
Qiu Dingxiang was a little excited. This was something that could not be dreamed of. Moreover, he saw that the red bricks were better fired than those made by his ancestors!
"That's what I think! Besides, everyone will study this year, and next year it would be best if we could set up a factory in the name of the village. But I want a share of the profits!"
After hearing Qiu Yantang's words, they became even more excited. They had never dared to think about setting up a factory, mainly because they did not have the technology before.
It’s a small matter to share the profits, and it’s what I should do.
Besides farming, we also go hunting in the mountains. The mountains are quite dangerous, but the supplies are relatively abundant, so the harvest is quite good.
“Thank you, Chief!”
After saying this, the group of old men were about to kneel down, but Qiu Yantang quickly stopped them, as he didn't want to be a short-lived ghost after traveling through time.
"Little Ancestor, who do you think is suitable? When should we let them come and learn?"
"It's all fine. Anyone who is trustworthy in the village can come and learn. We'll have everyone sign a confidentiality agreement in the name of the village."
"My dear, what is a confidentiality agreement?" Qiu Guangdong was taking notes in a small notebook, but he was a little confused when he heard the word confidentiality agreement.
I have never heard of this in all these years, and I don’t know what it contains or how to sign it.
