Husband and Father Youwei

Chapter 6 Charcoal Burning

   In his previous life, Tu Lin didn't know how to burn charcoal at first, but then a disaster broke out. He was lucky enough to survive at the beginning, and he also had a supernatural space. Later, he returned to the army and was assigned to a small team. The young girl is said to be an Internet writer, because writing needs to find out from the Internet and learned the local method of burning charcoal. Later, due to the shortage of resources in the last days, they also relied on their ability to burn charcoal to exchange a lot of useful materials.

Speaking of those supplies, Tu Lin couldn't help but feel a little pity. Because of the emergence of the alien beast tide, their base had to undergo a major transfer, so all the supplies and personal belongings of the team members they had accumulated in the past five years were packed into their own supernatural space, but they did not expect that during the transfer He died unexpectedly, and in the end, the supplies that almost filled a hundred cubic spaces probably disappeared with him. After all, he had seen with his own eyes that after the death of other people with supernatural powers, nothing was left except for a corpse.

Thinking of this, Tu Lin was suddenly stunned, because when he thought of his supernatural space just now, he even vaguely sensed its existence, and he could still feel that the things inside seemed to be all the same. Not a lot.

I just don't know why, although he can perceive the existence of the space, he seems to be unable to see the barrier through something, which makes him completely unable to control the space and the things inside as freely as he did in his previous life. The surprise disappeared in an instant.

But fortunately, Tu Lin didn't intend to rely on space to live at the very beginning. After trying several times and still being unsuccessful, he gave up decisively. Right now, he still has other things to do, as for the ability space, he will slowly explore it in the future, and he faintly feels that since his own ability space still exists, and even came to this world with him, then it should be able to be opened , It just probably takes some time, or some kind of opportunity.

After thinking about it, Tu Lin said to Ruan Tang again: "I plan to find an open space nearby to dig a charcoal kiln to burn charcoal. If it succeeds, the family can also earn more money in the future. If not, it's okay, but it took some time and effort. , I can't lose anything. It's just for my parents, I thought I'd better not tell them for now, so as not to be disappointed when it doesn't work." "Okay, just as

you said. But, you..." Ruan Tang heard the words Nodding his head, he very much supported Tu Lin's idea. After all, it was a good thing, but there was still some suspicion on his face.

He thought that Tu Lin got the charcoal-burning house from that foreigner before he fell stupid, but why didn't he do it at that time, but waited until now, but then he suddenly thought of Tu Lin's fall The reason for the stupidity, there is a faint guess in his heart, if that is the case, he will be a little bit speechless.

But even though he didn't ask, Tu Lin didn't ignore the strange look on his face. After thinking for a while, he explained: "I met that foreigner a few days before Xiao An was born. Give it a try, and tell the family when it's done, but I didn't expect that Xiao An's mother died later, and I... didn't have time to tell the family." Sure enough, it was exactly what

he thought, Ruan Tang verified his thoughts, But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty. It was because he talked too much, so Tu Lin brought up the sad things in the past again, and couldn't help saying: "Sorry, it's all my fault, I..." Tu Lin always talked casually

. Made it up, but I didn't expect Ruan Tang to blame himself because of this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and apologetic, he smiled and waved his hands, saying: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to apologize, it's all in the past." He forced a smile, but still couldn't let go of it for a while, and then said: "By the way, you should be more familiar with this area than I am. I want to find a slope that is about four or five cents in size, and it is best to have a water source nearby. , do you know where there are in the woods?"

Ruan Tang was distracted by Tu Lin's words, thought for a while, and then said: "There are a few places that match what you said, I will take you to have a look, just dig the charcoal kiln... If there is any use, I will Just say it directly, don't tire yourself." Ruan Tang originally wanted to say that he would build all the charcoal kilns and so on, but Tu Lin just told him how to do it, but this would inevitably lead to theft. Suspected, he hastily changed his mouth.

"Okay." On this matter, Tu Lin was not as polite as Ruan Tang, and responded with a smile, then followed Ruan Tang to a place in the forest.

The reason why Tu Lin decided to build the charcoal kiln in the forest was because few people came to this forest and it was not easy to be found. This is the only earning business he can make now, so he must not let others know about it. The raw material is wood, and the wood is heavy, the road in the forest is rough and difficult to walk, and they don't have any livestock, so it is really inconvenient to transport them. It is much easier to build the charcoal kiln directly near the raw material of charcoal. The weight of the burnt charcoal is only one-third of the raw wood, or even lighter, and it has been cut and processed, packed in sacks or baskets, and can be transported on a shoulder pole.

Ruan Tang took Tu Lin to three places, and finally Tu Lin chose a gentle slope, and then began to prepare for digging the charcoal kiln. First, the weeds and shrubs on the sloping land should be removed, otherwise it would be bad if it caused a fire. Then Tu Lin started digging holes on the sloping land, and Ruan Tang went to fetch buckets of water and started making adobe with mud. After making enough mud and adobe for slaughtering the forest, Ruan Tang went into the forest with a machete to chop wood for charcoal.

After working hard for an hour, when Tu Lin finally built the charcoal kiln, Ruan Tang had already piled up a pile of long wooden strips that had been cut into roughly the same length and thickness. This was also done according to Tu Lin's requirements.

At this moment, both of them were covered with a thin layer of sweat, but there was no trace of fatigue on their faces, and some were just eager to try. Immediately, the two of them had no intention of resting for a while, and together they put all the finished wood into the dug kiln pit, then lit the wood, and finally Tu Lin closed the kiln door, leaving only a smoke outlet and a smoke outlet. One air inlet, after that, all you need to do is wait, and the two of them sat down and began to rest.

Because it takes a long time to burn charcoal, at least ten hours, so the two of them don't need to stay by the side all the time. It happened that it was getting late, so Ruan Tang planned to go back to the old house and stew the caught pheasants for dinner, while Tu Lin went into the forest to chop firewood for the next kiln.

Ruan Tang was worried that Tu Lin would recover from his illness. He was afraid that he would be tired, and wanted him to go back with him to rest. He would chop firewood later, but Tu Lin didn't listen to him, and only said that his body was fine. , he won't let himself get tired, just let him rest assured. Seeing Tu Lin's insistence, Ruan Tang had no choice but to go back to the old house first, planning in his heart to come back to see Tu Lin as soon as possible.

Because there is no other cooking utensils in the old house except a crock for boiling water, and the seasoning is only some salt, which Ruan Tang bought with his own money, other than that, there are only some dried wild mushrooms And fungus, although there are not many, but it is enough as an ingredient for stewing a chicken.

After a lot of work, the crock pot containing the whole pheasant and other ingredients was soon put on the stove. Ruan Tang lit a fire, told Tu An to let him watch, and hurried to the woods again. Although Tu An is young, he is very sensible and capable. It is not a problem for him to just look at the stove and add some firewood from time to time.

When he arrived in the forest, Ruan Tang went to the place where the charcoal kiln was. He didn't see Tu Lin, so he walked around again, and finally followed the sound on a very tall chestnut tree that seemed to be decades old. He was relieved to find Tu Lin who was chopping branches.

After that, Ruan Tang helped Tu Lin drag the branches back to the open space, and the two of them chopped the thick and long branches into short and even pieces together. After making another pile of wood, they returned to the old house together.

At this time, the sun was setting and it was getting late, and it was time to go to Tu's house to get dinner, but Ruan Tang was messing with mud and chopping firewood in the afternoon, and he was in a mess. To go, Tu An volunteered, but Ruan Tang refused.

He was not worried about Tu An being mischievous or having any accidents, but because the people in the village, especially the children, were not very friendly to Tu An, and he was afraid that Tu An would be bullied. So in the end Ruan Tang went by himself. He simply washed his face and hands, and then changed into another coat before going out.

Tu Lin stayed at home, but he was not idle either. After washing and changing his clothes, he took the dirty clothes he and Ruan Tang had changed to the stream to wash. Their clothes are just soil stains, which are not difficult to wash, and they will be clean after rinsing in the stream several times.
