The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Sanbao came out of the water, evaporated the water on his body, and became a clean and refreshing cow again.

Yan Yu lay on the back of the cow, and borrowed some light to dry off the moisture all over her body, and she was so comfortable that she didn't want to get down.

Yan Lao Er's shoes were wet, so he rinsed them by the river, tied them with straw ropes and hung them around the cow's neck.

Sanbao didn't dislike him, and also dried him by the way.

Yan Lao Er put on his feet again, smiled and said: "Oh, these shoes are warm and comfortable."

"Go home and go home, and I can sleep in the cage again." Yan Yu was so sleepy from the steam, his eyelids were clenched.

The father and daughter entered the village like thieves.

Arriving at her own yard, Yan Yu burrowed directly back into her still warm bed.

I thought to myself: It’s so good to sleep on the kang. I cooked dinner at night, and there is still some heat left. For this season, the temperature is just right.

Yan Lao Er insisted on cleaning himself up, for fear that his wife would dislike him.

While washing his face with a splash, there was another slight noise in the yard.

He turned his head and saw Master Lu and the others tiptoeing into the yard.

Deliberately raised the water to make some noise.

It attracted a few people to look over.

Yan Laoer walked over slowly, and said in a low voice: "Master Lu, whose turn is it today? Are you done with your work?"

Fortunately, he made a little noise, otherwise the few people would be frightened.

Master Lu said in a hoarse voice, "Today are three families in the north of the village. They ate really well in the evening, and with all their strength, they made one more family.

What are you doing, Brother Yan? Why didn't you sleep? "

"Stick and tidy things, it's so late if you don't pay attention." Yan's second child changed the subject freely: "Master Lu, when do you think the Qi family will start?"

Master Lu asked the others to go to bed first, and the two walked to the backyard and talked in a low voice.

"I looked at it during the day, and the foundation of the Qi family's house is quite good. As long as the bricks are provided, it can be raised quickly."

Even the beams and timbers of the Qi family are ready-made, and a lot of wood is prepared, and they want to build the same house as the Yan family. Wiping the yard doesn't require so many fertilized ponds, so it's easy to do.

Yan Laoer: "I will go to the brick factory to pull bricks at dawn."

He also learned about the situation of each family's kangs and stoves.

I heard from Master Lu that there is more work on the kangs these days, and some people ask him what the price is for digging cellars and building houses.

It can be seen that his daughter's idea is right, let the big guys have money to make a living, and they will think about how to live a good life without being persuaded.

...

The next day, Yan's second child was the first person in the Yan family to get up again.

The courtyard was quiet.

He went to the quarry first, set up a large stone mill, and then went to several brick factories to pull the bricks back.

This batch of bricks cannot be sold, and they are all prepared for the Qi family, so that their family can build the house quickly.

He missed breakfast, and Nanny Rong quickly fried a plate of lamb's blood for him, and then took out two warm steamed buns from the pot.

Yan Laoer saw it and was happy.

Nanny Rong's grasp of his appetite is really accurate.

The lamb blood is very tender, and some peppers are added, and the leeks in the wild are only stir-fried twice, and the rice is very good.

After Yan's second child had finished eating, Yan Yu just came back.

She gave the Boy Scouts a day off.

The children had fun running all over the village, but after they calmed down, they should go into the mountains with the adults, and they should be busy with homework...

Li Xuemei went to the river with her and picked up the paper bag.

Second Yan watched Yan Yu pour the pulp from the bag into a square cement pool, and touched it curiously.

"You made this yourself?" It's amazing, his daughter is so good at craftsmanship? The outer wall is quite smooth!

"How can I! I only made good cement. Brother Er Tie and Brother San Tie helped me make it. Brother San Tie is a quick learner. After watching it for a few times, he learned the technique of plastering from Master Lu and the others. Seventy to eighty percent."

"As for the cement pool, a wooden mold was made first, and it was shaped into big bricks, and then it was built to be smoothed like this."

Yan Yu pointed to the wooden mold in the corner and showed it to her father.

That's great too!

Second Yan lamented in his heart.

"Father, help me pour water in." Yan Yu directed her father.

Yan Laoer sighed, and cooperated with her, pouring water and stirring.

Li Xuemei watched from the side: "The water is not enough."

Yan Laoer took another bucket and poured it in.

"It should be almost there." Yan Yu picked up the thin bamboo curtain next to it, dipped it into the pool, and fished it out again.

Sure enough, there was a thin layer of paper pulp hanging on it.

All three are very excited.

"Is it too thin? Fish it again?" Yan Er Er suggested.

Yan Yu thought about it, and fished it again, the pulp was obviously thicker.

"And then?" Yan Er Er asked.

"Then tear it off, mother, come here." Yan Yu assigned this important task to Li Xuemei.

Li Xuemei shook her head, "No, you can't tear it with your hands, your curtain... Pull it over and see if you can stick it to the stone slab."

In order to make paper, Yan Yu painstakingly found a unique large stone, flat and round, with a very flat and smooth surface.

Yan Yu thought about it, yes, it seems to be such a step.

She turned the bamboo curtain upside down carefully, and the pulp moved slowly with her movements.

After hitting a big rock, something went wrong, it won't come down...

After observing carefully for a while, Yan Yu scrapped the pulp on the bamboo curtain.

Copy the curtain again.

This time, her speed was much faster, allowing one side of the bamboo curtain to touch the big stone, and the pulp reluctantly stuck to the stone. Although the process was difficult, it finally came down.

"It looks wrinkled and not smooth enough." Yan Lao Er commented.

Li Xuemei glared at him, "You can do what you want!" Don't discourage your daughter's enthusiasm.

Yan's second child shrank his neck and hesitated for a second.

Yan Yu was completely absorbed in making paper, she turned a deaf ear to her father's words, let alone noticed her father and mother's eyebrows and eyes.

She failed over and over again.

Gradually found some tricks.

The first is the bamboo curtain. The bamboo curtain they bought has no place to let go. A handle should be added to fix the bamboo curtain to keep it in a horizontal state, which is more conducive to the smoothness and uniformity of the pulp.

The second step is to buckle the pulp on the stone. It is correct to start from one side. As long as one side is glued to the stone, it can be easily detached from the bamboo curtain.

But how to open this head well is the key.

Yan Yu raised her head: "Father, find me a piece of wood, not thick, but thinner."

Yan Laoer ran to Qi's house, rummaged through Qi Wu's pile of wood, and finally found two very thin wooden sticks among the waste materials that were about to be burned.

If you find a treasure, you run home again.

Qi Wu: ...

He followed anxiously, entered the yard, and saw his niece was about to use a kitchen knife to make grooves for the two thin wooden bars.

He hurriedly took the hand and figured out what she was going to do. While being shocked, Qi Wu didn't delay in his hand. Following the grain of the wood, he made two straight grooves for the two thin wooden strips.

After a few more cuts, the bamboo curtain stuck in, just right.

Compared with traditional papermaking, this recycled paper will be faster, reducing the long process of material fermentation~

I like to watch handmade videos. Recently, I am reorganizing and binding some books I don’t like. Friends who are silent at home can try it. There are not many tools needed, and they can be found at home. It is very decompressing. After finishing, it is very successful. feeling~

It’s still comfortable to update at this time, I will feel a sense of urgency before 0 o’clock, and urge me not to slip away to watch the video hahaha~
