Chapter 231 Take Us Together
As usual, Shen Xiao went to the Military Arsenal. Today's weather was not suitable for working in the fields, so Shen Jun and Shen Shan were also at home.
Wu's eyes flicked over and she said, "Don't worry, you have things to do."
After saying that, she looked at Shen Qingqian again and said, "Sister Qian, didn't you say the other day that you read about how to build a brick kiln in a book? Why don't you take your brothers to try it today?"
The house we live in now cannot withstand wind, frost, rain and snow at all. We need to rebuild it as soon as possible.
Shen Qingqian was suddenly called out, and after a pause, she said, "It's not impossible, but we have to find a place first."
"Sixth sister, can you make a brick kiln?" Shen Shan was a little excited when he heard this, because he had witnessed the scene where Wu was rejected by Wu Laoliu. "Just tell me what you need, and Third Brother will definitely do it for you!"
He knew without even thinking that the brick kiln built by his sixth sister was definitely much better than the one built by Wu Laoliu!
Shen Qingqian didn't dare to say anything definite, and only nodded and said: "If what is written in the book is correct, we should be able to figure it out."
It's just a bit troublesome.
Originally, Shen Qingqian wanted to make a single-duct wheel kiln for long-term use, but when she thought about the fact that her family didn't rely on it to make money, she gave up the idea. For now, she just wanted to make one that was enough for her own use.
This is a one-time thing. After the kiln is opened, the fired bricks and tiles are taken out, and the kiln is destroyed in the process.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Shen Yong was impatient. After hearing this, he immediately pulled Shen Qingqian out.
Shen Qingqian pulled him back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Fourth brother, I haven't finished what I said yet."
"Ah," Shen Yong asked stupidly, "What else haven't you said?"
Shen Qingqian pulled his arm free, looked at his brothers and said, "To make bricks and tiles, we must first prepare enough firewood and find the right kind of mud. We're new here, and the firewood we've brought home these days is barely enough for our own use.
We didn't bring back much stone, so we can only keep it for heating at home, so I plan to make some charcoal first and then go get some firewood. As for finding mud, I'll go."
Shen Qingqian was also very troubled as this group of people had never come into contact with these things before. It could be said that she was the only one who knew everything in front of her, while the others were in a confused state. They only did what they were told and did not take the initiative to solve the problems.
"Oh, Sixth Miss, are you planning to make charcoal and bricks? Then I, an old woman, shamelessly ask, can you take my family with you?" Old Mrs. Chen stood at the doorway at some point. Upon hearing this, she quickly said, "I have a large family, so let us do the hard work."
She was also freezing last night, but luckily she still had some stone chips with her, which could barely last a few nights. She had woken up this morning thinking of coming to the Shen family to ask for advice on how they could survive this winter, but she heard these words the moment she arrived.
"And we, too, are part of our family!" Old Mrs. Liu stood outside the door, panting, and said loudly with all her might.
There were several families behind Old Lady Liu. When they heard her say this, they all shouted, "Take one of us with you," regardless of what was going on.
Mrs. Wu didn't expect this to happen, but these people were all following the Shen family to open up the wasteland, so she couldn't refuse them outright. She looked at Shen Qingqian with an embarrassed face.
The Shen family's house is covered with a layer of cement. Compared to others, their house is warmer. Others still have thatched roofs. When the strong wind blew today, some of the thatch on the roofs of several houses was blown away.
