The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family - #416 - Chapter 416: September 20

  Chapter 416 September 20th

  Yan Yu took out the sketch she had drawn, and even gestured and said, Qi Wu listened carefully and nodded.

  Qi Si asked: “Shall we stop driving in the future? Pull these sledges?”

“Yes, after a while, Huju will be like Fengming, with snow all over the ground, rushing to melt and then freeze again. Cars with wheels are not as convenient as sledges. Iron bars are added underneath, and the snow and ice will It’s all skating so fast.” Yan Yu looked forward to it.

   “If it can be used alone, or it can be connected together like our previous cart, how much animal strength is needed to pull it?” Qi Wu asked.

  He thought that the sledge itself was not difficult. It was just a few large wooden boards with beveled angles in front and two iron bars on the bottom. In order to prevent people and things from swinging out, he added guardrails on the front and two sides.

   But the animal racks in front were obviously different from those used by wheeled carts, so he was a little uncertain.

   It’s better to use a dog to pull it…Deer is also fine…

  Yan Yu said silently in her heart.

  However, she could only think about these thoughts.

“Putting a sledge is definitely easier than pulling a cart, and you don’t need so many donkeys and mules.” Yan Yu tried hard to think back: “Uncle Qi, why don’t you make me a small one first, let Gou Zhu pull me, you will understand after a look. “

  Qi Wu immediately went to the courtyard to find materials.

  It was already dark outside, and it was hard to see clearly, so Qi Wu simply moved the boards and tools into the house.

  With the help of Qi Si, the single-person sledge quickly took shape.

   Mrs. Qi took her two daughters to watch, and from time to time told Mrs. Qi what the sledge was made of.

   Gou Zhu tilted his head and watched quietly by the side until Yan Yu beckoned it over and put a rope on it.

  Qi Wu saw the problem.

   “For the livestock pulling the cart in front, an even number would be better. If there is only one pulling the cart, it will tend to lean to both sides if it cannot walk straight.” He thought for a while, and then said: “Or the rear sledge should be heavier.”

Yan Yu repeatedly said: “That’s right, that’s what it means. Uncle Qi, the guardrail has been set up on three sides, and it’s not bad for the back. Let’s set it up on four sides. You can hit it higher in the back, and people stand and hold it with both hands. It’s so stable, don’t let it go.” People sit in the front, and if they put things, they stand behind, so there is some space for the bottom plate to stand on its feet.”

  Qi Wu began to revise again, trying to make Gou live in the courtyard.

   The sound of friction between the bottom of the sledge and the ground is not small, and there will be obvious ups and downs in uneven places.

  Qi Wu squatted there watching for a while, and asked Qi Si to join him in pushing all the snow on the ground to one place…

  The final style was to hang the baseboard, supported by two wooden boards like skis underneath, the front guardrail was short and gradually increased in a **** shape, and the height of the rear guardrail was just enough for Yan Yu to hold on to.

  Qi Si ran to Blacksmith Sha and came back soon, bringing back two iron bars.

   Secure it to the snowboard below.

  The first generation of single-person sledge was completed.

  Yan Yu took it home contentedly.

  …

   Before she could go out on the second day, Mrs. Qi came. She used hemp rope and cloth strips to make a suitable leash for Gouzhuo.

  Put it on Gouzi, just right.

  Yan Yu didn’t even bother to eat breakfast, so she was fully armed and happily sat on the sledge.

   “Hold on, let’s go!”

  The dog sledge is finally realized!

  The snow keeps falling, and the eyes are covered with silver.

  People in Xiao’an Village vaguely heard Xiaoer’s cheerful shout from the wind: “Hold on, run, haha, hurry up!”

  The children were the first to react and ran out to watch.

  I saw Xiao Er wrapping herself into a ball, sitting on a small wooden cart, being pulled by her dog, and running back and forth in the village.

  When Xiao Er passed by in front of them, the children were all envious.

   “Father, mother, please, let’s get a dog! I can eat less and feed it with the saved rations.”

   “Father, didn’t you tell me to learn from Xiao Er, Xiao Er has a dog, so you can buy me one too!”

  …

   “Mom, I want a dog, I want a dog, I want a big dog!” The little dog said to Mrs. Cui with a serious expression.

  Ms. Cui: “What kind of dog do you want? Let me see the sledge. Later, let your father find some wood and go to Qi’s house to make one. It’s just right for you two brothers to sit one by one. If you both want to sit… let your father pull it!”

  Cui Langzhong: …

   A few combinations are instantly created in my mind:

  The big dog pulls the little dog.

  The little dog pulls the big dog.

  The father of the two dogs is the big dog.

  Uh, maybe you can also pull on the dog’s father? !

  …

   “Xiao Er, go home for dinner!” Da Ya looked around at the gate of the courtyard, and shouted with all her strength when her sister approached.

   “Hey!” Yan Yu agreed, and said to Gouzi: “Go on, let’s go home.”

   Gouzhu adapted very quickly. It turned around in a big circle and gradually slowed down. After running into the yard, the sledge had stopped steadily.

  Yan Yu first took off the leash on Gou’s body.

   Gouzhu was free immediately, and only when he walked far away did he start to throw the snow on his body wildly.

  Yan Yu slapped herself fiercely while walking towards the kitchen.

   “Mother, I’ll go to the charcoal field after dinner.” She picked up the porridge in the bowl, picked up the pickles in front of her, woo, ready to eat.

Snapped!

  The egg was knocked on the table, standing firmly, and the two little hands nimbly peeled off the eggshell.

   Aww, one third of the eggs are gone.

   Two more bites, one boiled egg was eliminated.

   Hulululu, the porridge must keep up, mix it together and swallow it.

   Yan Yu also enjoyed the simple breakfast.

  Li Xuemei couldn’t help but drank half a bowl of porridge.

  Da Ya thought silently, it’s better for Xiao Er to be at home, so she can eat two more bites for every meal.

“Go, talk to your Uncle Qi and the others. We are already collecting wood outside, so don’t cut wood yourself. You are too busy just burning charcoal, and you have to keep vigil there at night. Don’t be reluctant to burn charcoal. It will save you money.” I can’t take it from myself, the house in the woods is not a decent house after all, it doesn’t keep warm, and the charcoal fire can’t supply it, people will be frozen to death.” Li Xuemei also had nothing to do with the three brothers of the Qi family, she couldn’t live with them, the brothers of the Qi family They came back late every day, and asked Mrs. Qi to bring them a message. The three brothers always forget it after hearing it.

   “Hey, mother, just watch mine.”

  Yan Yu quickly finished her meal, and the dog pulled the sledge again.

   This time she didn’t sit down, but stood behind, leaning on the railing.

  Heng Hem, who wasn’t tuned very much, went online again: “Why is the wind getting stronger and stronger, and my heart is shaking~~~~~~”

  …

  When Yan Yu arrived, Uncle Qi and Uncle Qi had already started work.

  Two people put the wood neatly into the mound, and when all the mounds are filled, they will start to light the fire.

  Uncle Qi catches up on sleep in the wooden house they built.

  There is only a wooden bed and a stove in the wooden house. It is used for heating and boiling water, and there is nothing beside it. It is very simple.

  When Yan Yu arrived, she went straight to the place where the tools were kept.

   Pick up the ax and start working.

  Splitting thick wood makes it easier to burn into charcoal.

  She has already been exposed anyway, and the whole village knows that she has great strength, so she can use it openly from now on.

   “Xiaoer, what are you doing? Forgot to sharpen your hands last time?” Qi Da heard the movement and came out to check, and saw Xiaoer slapping a piece of wood, and slapping a piece of wood.

   It was very easy to chop, but Qi Da couldn’t let her go on.

  Their brothers are used to this strength, Xiaoer also has it, not too surprised, and accepted it quickly, but Xiaoer is still different from them, this child does not have calluses on his hands, and his hands will grind after working too much.

   So none of them would let her do it.

  There are them on the left and right, so there is no need for the child to reach out.

   “Uncle Qi, the pile of wood is older and more than when I left. I feel uncomfortable looking at it, and I can see it clearly.” Yan Yu kept moving, let alone simply repeating one movement, which is quite addictive.

   “If you don’t like it, let’s clear it up. Give Uncle Qi the axe, and I’ll come.” Qi Dahan said with a simple smile.

“Uncle Qi, we collect wood from other people every day, why do we still cut trees ourselves? Burning so many piles of charcoal is already very tiring, can we not cut it ourselves?” Yan Yu split another one, stopped temporarily, and leaned on it. asked Axe.

  Qi Da said very seriously: “Xiaoer, you need copper coins to accept other people, and we don’t spend money to cut down trees ourselves. Forget it, Uncle Qi, you can earn more this way.”

  Yan Yu: …

  Always ignore Fourth Uncle Qi because of his appearance, he is also a guy who can settle simple accounts.

“That’s not how the accounts are calculated, Uncle Qi, my mother told you several times that you can’t work day and night like this, your body won’t be able to bear it.” She looked melancholy: “Since you don’t listen, we will It’s a partnership business, in the future I can only do as much as you do, we both earn money together, and work together if we have work, um, that’s it, it’s better to hit the sun than to choose a day, starting today.”

  After Yan Yu finished speaking, she began to chop wood again.

  Following the perfect fit, she knocked down the wood, pulled it forward with her paws, and rolled to her side.

   “Which way? No!” Qi Da couldn’t say anything else, so he felt that this was wrong. “Fourth, fifth, you two come here quickly.”

   Qi Si and Qi Wu ran over.

   “What’s wrong, brother?”

  Qi’s big mouth is stupid, and he can’t learn Xiao Er’s words well.

  Yan Yu repeated it kindly.

  Qi Si and Qi Wu were also dumbfounded.

  How can this work? How could Xiaoer be allowed to work with them.

   Let my mother know, I have to beat them with the sole of my shoe…

   “Xiao Er, this won’t work, you can’t do it.” Qi Wu said.

  Yan Yu worked silently.

   Qi Si stayed with her for a longer time, exhausted his brain cells, and then choked out a sentence: “Xiaoer, what do you think we should do.”

  Yan Yu: Right!

   This is the sentence.

   “Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi, our two are doing business together in a partnership, so we have to discuss it with the two of you. Do you think this makes sense?” Yan Yu asked.

  The three brothers of the Qi family nodded hurriedly.

With a small face, Yan Yu said seriously: “When my father was at home, he told you not to suffer like this. How come it doesn’t count when he leaves? You don’t listen to what my mother said. Although I am young , But Uncle said, when he and Dad are away, I should take care of the family affairs, let’s talk about it today, what should we do with our charcoal-burning business in the future.”

  The brothers of the Qi family shrunk their necks when they heard Xiaoer say her father and uncle.

“This is what I think. In the future, I will not only go to Huju, but also to Gufeng. There will be a lot of firewood collected from these two places. We will keep the current amount of soil mounds and not increase them. Being able to burn these logs is enough for us to earn this winter.”

  The reason why Yan Yu said that was because she had consulted her uncle.

   There is a fixed number of jobs assigned by the Huju government office. Once the work is completed, or it cannot be continued due to the weather, the common people can only seek other ways to make money.

  The colder it is, the better her charcoal business will be.

   Not only are there more people buying charcoal, but also more and more people supplying wood.

  Bei Rong snatched away the food that the tigers occupied all over the place, and the people couldn’t stop if they wanted to live.

  They want to stock up on food, firewood, and various supplies to survive this winter.

   So, they need money.

   And this year is colder than previous years, correspondingly, they can only earn more.

  Yan Yu finally concluded: “…as much charcoal as there is wood collected, I have been guarding the charcoal field these days when I have nothing to do, and calculated a number. From now on, we will burn so many piles every day, and rest after burning.

   And this log cabin needs to be cleaned up, when the snow stops and the sun comes out, plaster it to avoid air leakage from all sides…”

   Qi Da and the three listened honestly. Although they felt very reluctant, they really had nothing to do with Xiao Er.

   If she doesn’t like it, she will stay here and work on it. She can only listen to her.

  …

  Li Xuemei narrowed her eyes with a smile after hearing Yan Yu finish her method.

   Honest people tend to be stubborn, so it really depends on her daughter’s slapstick.

  You have to work, okay, let’s go together.

Yan Yu kept nagging: “…I can’t do nothing all winter, just chop trees and burn charcoal. It’s right to want to make money, but you can’t hang yourself on a tree! I’m still thinking about bringing Fourth Uncle Qi Going to Beirong to grab cattle and sheep, and being **** by the charcoal field, how can I go…”

  Uh… She realized it all at once, and turned her head in slow motion to look at her mother’s face.

  Li Xuemei restrained her smile, stared at her for a while, and asked softly: “Dabao, what did you just say, mother didn’t understand clearly.”

  Yan Yu: …

   If you really didn’t hear clearly, mother, why did you suddenly stop laughing? It’s so scary!

“Well, mother, aren’t you greedy for beef? My dad’s sauced beef is a must-have dish for the Chinese New Year! Beef, it shrinks as soon as it’s cooked, so it’s a big piece, and there’s a small ball left after the sauce is done. .”

   “Yan Yu!” Li Xuemei called her name expressionlessly.

  Yan Yu: Report to Teacher Li, I am here!

“Mother, just…Bei Rong can climb over the mountains, so can we, don’t you think so? They rob us of food, why can’t I worry about their cattle and sheep, besides, I won’t go alone, three treasures, donkeys, Gou Zhu, plus my fourth uncle Qi, we cooperate, that is gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas…

  No, no, no, we don’t fight, we are irritable!

   just sneaked over, and pulled one end back.

  Mother, you have to trust me, your daughter will not risk herself, she must be sure to rush forward, hehe…”

  Yan Yu suddenly froze.

  The next moment, the whole little face came alive.

   Voices are all an octave higher:

“My God! Mother! Our platform is here again! Hahahaha! What date is it today? Yes, September 19th, the forecast is 0:00 tonight, ouch, this is familiar Time, the familiar countdown, it looks so kind!

  September 20th, what date does it correspond to? “

  Yan Yu hurriedly looked through the calendar made by her mother.

  Li Xuemei reminded: “Double Eleven.”

   Yes, the house is stuck again~(#^.^#)~

   If everyone counts the votes, the update time will be normal~

   Therefore, ask for a monthly pass~()~
